His f rut entranco into politics was in JS93. when he was elected on the Ik-mocrutlc ticket as clerk of the superior couit of Hall county, (leorgla, which position he continued to hold neveral years.

Recognition

The readers of this paper well know the fight that is going on between the things which are good and the things which are bad. Although the fight as gone on for years for centuries and for tens of centuries the fight seems to be drawing to a more complete alignment. It has remuined. apparently for this country to be the greatest battlefield even as It Is the youngest and the richest in its heritage. It is not necessary at this time to talk of the policy of this paper. Any man may see the policy of this paper In any issue that he picks up it is there always as it is in every paper. In thin fight in America this paper has chosen the harder rather than the easier thing to do.

James Rudolph Garfield in the last campaign enunciated In his speech the" idea that the rights of man were greater than the rights of property. Thia is the idea of Rudolph Spreckles, of Gifford Pinchot, of Theodore Roosevelt of Robert Collier. Since the death of the elder Collier the management of Collier"s Weekly lias descended completely upon him. Young Collier is a rich man in one sense of the word not as Rockefeller Is rich with the billion dollar bank of the Standard at his commandfor ho does not take toll of the people, nor levy a tax upon them. Rut he lias operated another sort of public service the fight in which any man who owns a printing press may engage if his soul is clean. That he is successful in this fight. That his paper is known as fearless from one end of the land to the other makes this quotation from this week's issue of Collier's not merely a pleasure but an honor.

The resignation of Richard Achilles Ballinger from the office of Secretary of the Interior was announced on March 7. His successor, Walter L. Fisher, is so well qualified for the post that if the President had asked Collier's to suggest a man to hold this office we admit frankly we could not have found in the whole United States one better fitted for the position. Thia journal has had much to say in criticism of the President, both in Alaska cases and in other matters, and we wish, therefore, to give particular emphasis to the fact that he has now put the great public domain in the hands of a man who combines knowledge of the subject with unusual powers for work and with absolute courage and integrity. This periodical has been subjected to much hostile criticism for what has been called the "persecution of Mr. Ballinger." It has acted, however, on what it believed to be a sense of duty applied to a matter the importance of which could scarcely be overstated. The press of the United States have done a generous share of this work. In all parts of the country have4een found newspapers which were determined that the Land Office scandal should not continue.. The United Press, one of the two great news agencies, has given the most constant help and if we mention such papers as the Philadelphia "North American," San Francisco "Bulletin," Cleveland "Press," RICHMOND (INDIANA) "PALLADIUM," Portland "Journal," New Orleans "Item," Louisville "Courier-Journal," "La Follette's," the "Public," the "Outlook," "Life," and the Boston "Conv mon," it is only as illustrations. Collier's. It is very little that this paper has done in the Ballinger case except to try to repay Its debt to Collier's and that debt is the debt of every American citizen. It is a pleasure because we are human It is an honor because no paper has fought harder for the restoration of popular government and human rights than Collier's. To be mentioned with the Philadelphia North American and the Kansas City Star and the San Francisco Bulletin Is more than a matter of satisfaction to a paper which In newspaper parlance is "a country newspaper." There is however Btill enough real red American blood in America to pulse through the "country newspapers," If they will let it. The Emporia Gazette of Kansas with its now famous editor William Allen White is an example of this. J" Will" White cannot be tempted to live In s'ew York though it Is worth many times more money to him be stuck to Kansas. This small paper has its mission as the greatest weekly in the land to tell the truth. It is not that men stumble but that they try. It. Is not that men win but that they fight. The recognition from bo honestand fairly fearless a paper as Collier's' is pleasant It goes deep but this, even Is not so great as the satisfaction of being appreciated in this, our own, community. The people of this community have believed in our sincerity they ' have seen the fight day in and out and they have given their support in a way which makes this recognition their recognition. This paper has been called "a young man's newspaper." That this is bo should mean optimism and growth and militant qualities. It does mean hope and strength as much as we can put into it of young men's hopes and strength. The time has come when this paper has received national recognition and we are all glad not for what we have done but for what we hope wo can do in the future.

ARRANGED BURIAL 12

YEARS BEFORE DEATH

Greensburg, Ind., March 17. King Newbro is dead at his home in Clarks

burg, 12 miles notheast of this city.

About twelve years ago he made his

own coffin out of ordinary lumber, and

polished it to suit himself. Then he proceeded to prepare his own burial

clothes, even selecting the cloth to cover tho coffin on the inside. About

one year ago he made arrangements with a lifelong friend, Zach Russell, to dig his grave for him should he die first. Russell later went to work on a farm near Indianapolis, but will return and keep his promise. Newbro requested that there be no funeral services, no preacher, no flowers and no undertaker. He simply wanted his neighbors to place his body in the grave dug by his friend Russell, who is to put the dirt back Into place. A widow survives.

Everyone has a weak spot. Too often it's a bad back. Twinges follow every sudden twist. Dull aching keeps up, day and night. Tells you the kidneys need help For backache is really kidney-ache. A kidney cure is what you need. Doan's Kidney Pills are for sick kidneys, For backache and urinary ills. Richmond people recommend the remedy. Benjamin F. Lunsford, Twentieth & South C Sts., Richmond. Ind., says: '"The statement I gave for publication in 1906, recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, told of .my experience with them and at this time I am glad to confirm all I then said in their favor. I was bothered by kidney trouble off and on for at least fifteen years and whenever I caught cold, my back became so lame and painful that I could hardly get around. At times the kidney secretions were profuse, then again scanty and distressing. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at A. G. Luken & Co's Drug Store, relieved me promptly and once or twice since then. I have taken this remedy with good results." For sale by all dealers-.. Price 1 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Cc, Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

Tells Helpless Rheumatics

"Quickest Way Out of lied" Muncie, Ind. Considerable attention has been attracted to the case of a Muncie "rheumatic" who had long been in an alnicst helpless condition on account of his infirmity and who was enabled to discard his crutches after but a few days' use of an English preparation known as "Celmo." His own statement follows: "I was on crutches when I commenced talking Celmo' and now I walk without crutch or cane. You are at liberty to use this statement to others, so that they may be cured also, as there are thousands today that need relief and "Celmo' is the quickest way out of bed. Geo W. Caplinger, 1632 West Seventh street."
