B MESSAGE CALLS FORTH PRAISE —_— | English Press Commend Utterances of Roosevelt in His Latest Document | LONDON, Dec. 7.—“We may see lni this message, the words of Police Con- stable Roosevelt of the International says the Daily Chronicle in an editorial this morning. { On the whe highly courageous and notable docu- which the Morning Post ven-! to think “will do more than any | public utterance of recent years to in- | crease sympathy between Britons and Americans,” following this expression th the passage from .the message where President Roosevelt speaks of | his foreign policy as one for which the English-speaking world will now and| hereafter be thankful. A majority of the newspapers edi- torially approve of President Roose- ! velt’s advocacy of a strong army and navy in order to preserve ‘the peace of justice,” and acquit Roosevelt of any jingoism. Some, on the other hand, consider the message injurious to the ideals of | disarmament and arbitration. The| message “will strengthen the advocates | of bloated armaments in every coun- try.” The Dally Telegraph pays a tribute | to President Roosevelt's ‘“‘courageous| refognition of thorny problems,” and says: "It is a positive relief to con- trast his virile language on the sub- Ject of foreign policy with the anaemic femininities which find shrill utterance in England.” The Standard says that on the ques- tion of a strong navy President Roose- velt will carry with him the sympa- thetic concurrence of most English- men. BERLIN, Dec. 6.—German interest in President Roosevelt’s message to Congress centers peculiarly in the sec- tions that deal with the army and navy and the trust and labor prob- lems. The newspapers print summar- ies of about 2000 werds and their com- ment generally is favorable.

To his surprise and | gratification a committee was appoint- | ed to undertake the task, of which, as the man best fitted for the position, he was made chairman. It has been said that he possesses | a gold pass that enables him to travel | In my opinion the lavish expenditure of money, as has been witnessed in this county and State, is criminal. I believe it to be at the very root of all the crime and violations of the election laws which have accompanied our recent elections. It ought to be made a criminal offense for any corporation to con- tribute to any political party. It is common talk on the streets and cur- rently circulated in the newspapers that a con- spiracy exists to deprive of the Governorship of this State one of our citizens whom all good citizens, {rrespective of party, believe to have | been honestly elected. It is further openly charged that to carry out this conspiracy it will involve the unseating, unjustly and ii- legally, of certaln members of the coming Legislature. It sums of money have been coilected from the various corporations of this city and State to aid in this work. It is charged that even after the officlal count was completed many counties of the State and certified to by the proper officials, agents were sent out for the purpose of procuring some one mem- ber of these local canvassing boards to bring in alleged minority reports with the hope that the State canvassing board could be induced to_violate the law and disregard its cath of office. This is a matter that will tax your patience and ability, but I earnestly urge it upon you for your most careful considera- tion.

He knows how to enjoy himself, and no doubt his mas- tery of the art of recreation accounts in no small measure for his vigor and longevity. Quite late in life he took to cycling and he still plays a good| game of billiards. It is.related of him that playing at Lord Ducie’s ‘one Sat- urday night, he regretted that some one had not exercised sufficient forethought to put back the hands of the clock, also charged that immense in | which pointed to midnight at an inter- esting veriod of the game.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are respon- sible for many kinds of diseases, and if per- mitted to continue much suffering and fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irritable. Makes you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints and muscles: make your head ache and back ache, cause indigestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get a sallow, yellow complexion, make you feel as though you had heart trou- ble; you may have plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak and waste away. The cure for these troubles is Dr. Kil- mer’s Swamp-Root, the world famous kidney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kid- neys that is known to medical science.

If on examination it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick dust settling, or if small particles float about in it, your kidneys are in need of imme- diate_attention. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is| used in the leading hospitals, recommended by physicians in theic private practice, and is taken by doctors themselves who have kidney ailments, because they recognize in it the great-| est and most successful remedy for kidney, liv-| address, Binghamton, N.
