THE Belvidere Republican says that tin price of ooal this winter will depend on the outcome of the strike situation. Sorely, the writer of that article mast- hare indulged in a pleasant pipe dream. THE season for corn hasking and Shredding is near at hand. Doctors will please take notice and keep a good­ ly supply of bandages on hand. Daring the next six months another army of one-armed men will be turned out. wind. The senior senator has come back to Illinois to help his party win a majority in the general assembly and there seem to be no indications that he contemplates interfering with the efforts of the majority of the party to elect the man of its choice to suoceed the junior senator. It is not so with the junior senator. Mason is not doing the Repub­ lican party any good by his participation in the campaign. If he shonld go away from the state and devote his attention exclusively to champagne and baking powder advertisements until after the election day he would benefit the Re­ publican party vastly more than he can by remaining in the state. Mason may be a firstclass judge of champagne end bakingpowder, but he belongs to the other end of the list in politics. If the Democratic press chooses to hammer Ma­ son it is welcome to the opportunity, but it would better guard its expressions for the prospects are that it may not be long before it will be smearing molasses where now it is strewing vinegar. The saccahrine dojupound draws and holds better than the acidulous and if the Dem­ erits want Mason they are welcome to him.--State Journal. ORGANIZATION of the legislature is now being discussed by Republican politicians, and the impression prevails that the United States senatorship will figure in the settlement of the question. The speakership is the bone of conten­ tion. Representative E. D. Shurtleff of Marengo is being talked of by many Hopkins supporters as a speakership candidate. JOHN W. GATES, the multi-million- aire, was recently barred from Clar- idge's hotel in London on account of his vile language and tendency to ex­ pectorate whenever and wherever he pleased, much to the annoyance of respectable guests at the hostelry. It seems that money is not the only essen­ tial qualification for entering decent society in some places. HELP a dog out of a ditch and no matter what kind of a dog he is--a town dog, a country dog, educated or Illiterate, aristocratic or plebian--he will wag his tail to paralysis and ex­ haust every drop of blood in his veins at your command. Help a man out of a ditch and what follows depends very much on his breed. The more we see of some men the better we like dogs. THE McHenry County Democrat has the following to say editorially: There seems to be something radically Wrong throughout the country with that "full-dinner-pail" problem. In nearly every state in the Union Btrikes are prevalent and in the coal fields at least no dinner pail at all has been needed for several months. tee, there is something radically wrong. But, say, Dufield, of course you know a little Concession on the part of either side in the coal strike would fill those dinner pails. How about the empty pails during the last Democratic administration? Everyone was willing to make concessions, but the work was 'not visible. Without prosperity there is nothing to fight for unless it is to fight for work. CVLLOM AND MASON. Some of the Illinois Democratic journals are making faces at Senator Gnllom and Senator Mason. They do not like either of the senators because Republican votes sent them to Washing ton. It will not do to say that the Dem­ ocratic press does not like either of the senatos because of their Repub­ licanism since Billy Mason's Repuplican lam got mildewed. Senator Cullom has not giyen the Democrats any help and he does not show any symptons of be­ coming an assistant Democrat. He is not an issue. If the Democratic jour nals wish to hammer him it is their jrivilge, but it will not do the Demo­ cratic party any good and it will not do the Republican party or Senator Gnllom any harm. It is about as serious and effective an amusement as abusing the weather observer for the fluctuations In temperature and the velocity of the f': Black Hair COMBINES. According to "The Evening World," Russel Sage, for more than sixty five years one of the closest observers of finance and the temper of the American people, does not agree with Pierpont Morgan regarding the combination and consolidation of all the* great industries. Mr. Sage believes that the combination of all the great industries will inevitably result in one of the greatest financial crashes ever seen in the United States and that, too, at no very distant period Mr. Sage is quoted as saying: "Com­ binations of all great industries are a menace to the government. Such com­ binations are not only a menace but are the oppressors of the people. Should an era of combinations ensue, the American people will certainly revolt against them and if they do there will be financial ruin such as people have never dreamed of in the history of the world. There are certain times when combi­ nations are useful and beneficial. When several industries are beginning busi­ ness it is well for the individuals to com­ bine for mutual protection until the busi- 1 is gotten on its feet W ben the business is firmly established, the com­ bination should be disrupted and con ducted along individual lines. The em­ barrassment of one individual would not then mean the wrecking of the industry. It is better to have such industries divid­ ed among several individuals than com­ bined into one great corporation, the em­ barrassment of which would ruin all. Industries conducted along individ­ ual lines have many safeguards. In­ stead of but one source each individual has several separate and distinct from the others to which to apply for aid dur­ ing any great trouble. If a combination is continued after the industry is well established it becomes a monopoly and a menace to its own commercial life as well as to the government. "The American people will most cer­ tainly revolt at no very distant time against the enormous combinations of the various industries. If continued the combinations will some day result in financial ruin not only to those in­ terested but to the country. The suc­ cess attending the combinations of some industries has led to the belief that the same success will mark the organization of other great combinations. This will not be so and before many years every­ one will realize it." ^ WOODSTOCK. Next horse sale Wednesday, Cot. 8. Phillip Fisher spent Sunday Mth family in Chicago.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Don't Know it. How To Find Out. Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or set- tling indicates an unhealthy condi­ tion of the kid­ neys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kid­ ney trouble; to© frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad­ der are out of order. What to X>o. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor,, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra­ ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won­ derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
