A Resident Known to all Qur Readers Relate* an Experience. Readers of the Republican have been told agan and again of the merits of that reliable, time-proved kidney remedy—-Dosm’s Kld Pills. The experiences told are not those of unknown persons, living far away. The cases are Rensselaer cases, told by Rensselaer * people. C B. Steward, insurance agent, b. Front and Main Sts., Rensselaer, says: “I had been subject to serious attacks of kidney disorder. My back for a long time was lame and sore and I was hardly ever free from backache. Whenever I feel any signs of that' trouble now, or my kidneys don’t act right, I get a box of Doan s Kidney Pills at Long’s Drug Store. They quickly fix me up all rgiht. Price 60c, at all dealers. Don t simly ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Steward had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

WHAT, HO! FAIR LADY, TIRE THIEVES IN OUR MIDST.

Someone shy on currency and automobile tires made their way to the garage of A. Leopold on Front | street Sunday evening and made 'away with an extra tire which was dinging <to the rear of Mr. Leopold's National. Rensselaer’s so slow —other towns had tire thieves long ago, Ibut it seems that we are now to ibe tormented with this brand of crooks for a spell. Nothing like being up-to-date, ibut the guilty parties may find themselves extracting buckshot from their anatomy unless they cease the practice at once.

“LET THE SOUTH ALONE,” IS CRY OF HAYS.

“Hands off the presidency.” Suieh is the “inside” and semi-of-ficial word that has gone directly to republican national committeemen in the solid south from National Chairman Will H. Hays. “Let the south alone,” The latter is the friendly advice of Chairman Hays -to republicans who are recognized as spokesmen for potential presidential candidates. This policy within the national committee is understood to be the first definite step toward aja assurance of peace and harmony in next year’s republican national convention. _ The evident intention, as viewed •by interested politicians, is to stop before it ever starts, the quadrennial excursion of lieutenants and skirmishers for northern republican presidential candidates into the states of the south; the recurrent series of rival state and district conventions, and the usual long docket of contests that have to be settled by (the national committee and then by the credentials committee of the national convention. As a usual thing, at this relative stage of the game preceding a presidential campaign, the men recognized as in responsible control of republican party machinery in the south, beginning with the national committeemen, have been parked in one or another camp of presidential possibilities. • It happened that way in 1908, when the Roosevelt organization was determined to nominate Mr. Taft, and it happened that way in 1912, when the Roosevelt organization was determined to nominate some one else, and the rows that were Started in the south produced eventually the smashup in the Chicago convention. Chairman Halys, well informed leaders agree, is living up to the stand he announced at Indianapolis immediately after 'his election to the chairmanship—that it isjthe business of the national committee to elect a president and not to nominate said, upon the promise, which 'has vital appeal to the republicans below the Mason and Dixon Mne, that there will be no federal jobs to hand out in 1921 unless a republican president is elected in November, 1920. To place a block of southern delegates on the political market in the good old way is to threaten party disaster, according to Chairman Hays, as the story goes. This situation was thoroughly discussed at a meeting of the finance committee last week in New York City, it is said, and an immediate result is that a few of the early birds have been called back to this side of the Ohio rivet. The determination of Chairman Hays and the national organization to go to the limit in the effort to make the national' convention next June a deliberative body, where a presidential candidate wtoo can be elected will 'be nominated, is reported to have appealed distinctly to the old progressive group as well as men representing candidates.

FORD SUIT ENDS TODAY

JURY, HOWEVER, IS NOT EX- * PECTED TO GET CASE UNTIL THURSDAY. - ' -"' V-' , .t ■ ■ ■ Mt. Clemens, Mich.. Aug. 11.Judge Tucker probably will not send out ithe Ford-Tribune jury until Thursday, .die said today. Arguments will “close tomorrow and the judge said he would probably require Wednesday himself to Whip his instructions into shape. He 'has a mass of briefs submitted iby counsel ito consider in connection wiltlrthem. Closing arguments today were by Oscar C. Lungerhausen and Alfred J. Murphy for Mr. Ford and Warren S. Stone for the Tribune. Mr. Stone told the jurors the case was a simple one, if stripped of its dictionaries and philosophies. It was simply, he said, that Henry Ford abused the government, and the Tribune “called him, and called him right.” “That’s all there ds to it,” went on Mr. Stone. “Don’t be confused because of Mr: Ford’s great wealth. I hope that otf I ever hear anyone abusing my government I will have the nerve to call and call him right. If Henry Ford had known as much about other things as he does about medhanics, he would not have made a laughing stock of himself with his peace ship.” . Tomorrow the last of the closing arguments will 'be delivered by Elliot G. Stevenson, senior counsel for the Tribune, and Alfred Lucking, senior counsel for Mr. Ford. “Cheer up, the end ds in sight, 1 said Mr. Lungerhausen, in opening. “The worst is yet to come,” interjected Attorney Alfred Murphy, who was on .the program as the next Ford lawyer to argue. Attorney Lungerhausen said the bearing of the Mexican situation on the mam issue of the case, namely, wias or was not Henry Fiord an anarchist on June 23, 1916, as changed by the Tribune in its alleged libelous editorial. The lawyer asserted there was no essential difference between the bandit raids on the border and the bank robberies and race riots of the north, as in Washington and Chicago. He* spoke of Mr. Ford’s horror of war and asserted that military preparedness does not prevent war, but invites it.
