THE WAR RESOLUTION.
Representative Claude kitchin
Argues Passionately Against
The Measure.
CLAUDE KITCHIN
Representative Claude Kitchin is
opposed to the war resolution, and
spoke against it in language unmis
takable, when ihe House debated
the qutsaon Thursday night.
After saying that he wouul not
criticize those who would vote ha
il, Mr. Kitchin declared he thought
he should vote Ins convi;rior - re
gardless of consequences.
"I know that my vote will be
criticized from one end ot tin
country to the other, said Con
gressman Kitchin. "I cannot
leave to my children land and
riches, nor fame, but 1 can leave
lo them a name that regardless iY
consequences I never hesitated
vote my conviciions. "
"Prayerfully in, pressed wuh
ihe gravities '' this Htujtinn and
appreciating the penalties that wat
will impose, " said he, "My con
science and judgment have slum n
Ihe path of my duty and I ma t
tread il barefooted and alone. I
have prayed for guidance. I have
reaehed the conclusion that I must
vote against this resolution."
"The bone-dry law, while mighty
light,
U'ill hardly cause your death,
But should you lake a drink of
booze
You'd better hold your breath.'

Mrs. M. L Hux, Maple Street,

my kid.ieya weak and I had pains
in my back and across my loins.
Mornings, I was so sore and stiff
and tired so easily, that 1 could
j lln
my housework. I had
headaches and dizzy spells and my
sight was blurred. The kidney
secretions were scanty, highly col
ored and contained a brick-dusi-like
sediment. My ankles were
swollen and my limbs ached so
badly thai I could hardly turn in
bed. I got a box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills at W. M. Cohen Drug
Company's store, and they soon
relieved me. Coniinued use cured
me of all symptoms of kidney trou
ble." Price 50c. at all dealers.

"To doubt would bring disloyalty,

Personally, I am reconciled to
war, because I believe that we are
fighting for the only sort of civili
zation that means an end to all war.
I I am not in favor of permanent
j universal military service. I am
against the Imperial German Gov
ernment, because il stands for uni
versal military service. That gov
ernment has for 30 years prepared
to live by the sword. According
to Holy Writ, it must die by the
sword. When the government

perish from the earth, then and
not till then, will the nations for
get war, and in their dealings with each other have respect lo ihe prin
