After Four Years
Washington Testimony Remains Un
shaken.
Time la the best test of truth.
Here Ib a Washington story that has
stood the teet of time. It is a story
with a point which will come
straight home to many of us.
W. A. Respess, 121 E. Fourth St..
Washington, says: "I suffered from
backaches and Irregular action of
the kidney*. The kidney eecrotionB
burned in passage. I finally used
Doan's Kidney Pills as directed and
got permanent benefit." (Statement
given Nov. 19 1910).
No Trouble Since.
ON JULY 10, 1914, Mr. Respes<
said: "I still think well of Doan's
Kidney Pills. 1 have had no oc
casion to use them since 1 first en
dorsed them."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy ?
get Doan's Kidney Pills ? the same
that Mr. Respess has twice publicly
recommended. Foiter-Mtlburn Co.,

MAKES STATEM'NT
' ' i
Representative Gives ReasonsWhy
He Is Opposed to the big
Navy Appropriation. J
(By Eastern Prees)
Wlleon. N. 0., Nov. U?? In a \i
t?r to Charlet L. Coon, of this city,
Claude Kltchln, majority leader, de
fines in detail the reason for Mi
stand on the national defense ques
tion. The letter In full, reads ns
follows:
Scotland Neck. N. C., Not. a, 19 16
Mr. Charles L. Coon,
Wilton. N. C.
Dear Mr. Coon:
I am Just In receipt of your letter
of November 2nd. 1 certainly do
thank you and appreciate your writ
ing me. I am gratified beyond
measure that you endorse my posi
tion in opposing the big Army and
big Navy program which the Ad
ministration is going to attempt to
ram through Congress ? and 1 fear|
will succeed In It. I am especially ;
gratified to receive endorsement
'rom such men like yourself who do
tlieir own thinking land come to
their own concluslont after study
and thought. My experience and
observation are that only a fow men
do this. 1 shall oppose the big Ar
my and Navy program with all the
earnestness and power 1 possess.
However, my fear is that the Pres
ident will push it through by an ov
erwhelming majority. In the first
place, practically all the Republicans
will vote for it. In the second place
although I know thaf..the convic
tions of four-flftha of . Ihe Demo
?TRt? *ro OOPO?UK* -^ir, noanj' o't
them ? I fear a large majority ? will
fling away tholr convictions on this
question to please the President and
do his will, as I have seen them do
It on two or three occasions beforo.
You will catch some idea of the
-normity of the step which the
President will insist that we take
when 1 tell you that his proposed
program at one bound, In -ohe year
increases our naval appropriation
more than our total increase for the
last 14 years; more than the In
create by Germany the whole fifteen
years preceding the European war,
and more than the combined Increase
of all the nations in the world iu
any one year in their history. The
five-year program of the adminis
tration Increases our naval appro
priations forty tiroes more than the
increase by Germany in the five
years preceding th? European war
and the combined Increase of all
Poor In Precious Stones. |
For a land that is rich Id mineral
of all kinds the United States deems to
have a very poor output of preclou*
or semiprecious stones. About the
beet that we can do is to produco plen
ty of turquoise, and of this the mlue<<
last year yielded $4,000 more than tbc
year before. Diamonds In the rough
were once picked up In Kansas and
opals and rubles In one or two of the
southern states, but the unromantlc
government experts, after ap Invert!
Ration, Informed the purchasers of (bt
"mlnes" that they had been "lot In on
ratber crudely salted properties." But
that the prospectors are busy In this
country may be gathered from tbe ro
cent discovery of turquoise deposits
In Nevada, pink beryl In Maine, sun
stone In Arizona and amnion stone at
White Plalne, Just north of this city.?

Boy Catches Shsrk.
Herbert Young, fifteen, caught a
shark weighing 57 pounds off Wallace
Rocks In Caaco bay. Maine. The catch
was made on a common cod line and
tbe young man with the help of bU
father and Bugene W. Hons of Auburn, |
who were In the host with blrn. had I
a herd tussle landing tbe big fellow.)
It wan finally done with the help of g{
gaA
the nations In the world for the fire
years preceding the Etrropean war,
and more than the combined in
crease of all the nations in the
? world for the whole period of ten
y ars immediately preceding the
European war. I wish to observe
too, that before the beginning of
the European war we were then ex-j
pending on our Navy $30,000.000 j
more than Germany and for the teni
years preceding the European war
had expended over $300,000,000
more than Germany or any other na-'
tion; except England, had expanded
on its Navjr. This sudden, radical
and stupendous move for war prep
aration is going to shock the clvi
lited world, and whatever be the
outcome of the present war will a
larm the world again into au armed
camp. The militarists and war
traffickers of every nation in the,
world will point to our conduct aB
an example and a cause why btg war
preparations should be renewed 02
a larger scale than ever before.
we take this step every nation will
suspicion ? in fact every uation will '
feci convinced, that no argument of
our government can dissipate such
conviction, that our couutry has in
this tremendous movement other
dssigna than mere self-defence; ev
ery nation will absolutely know that
for aelf-defense it is not necessary
for us to adopt such measures. The
world will be convinced, in spite of
?w proteotatrou, twat we are pre
paring a? the organ, the Seven Seas
Magazine of the Navy league (the
organization which has created by
deception and misrepresentation the
apparently big nentimenj foi a big
Army and big Navy In this country
and which stampeded the President)
declared in ite laat iwue we should
prepare for "ware of conquest;"
that "it is the particular right and
duty of the United States to expand
to found colonics, to get richer and
richer by any proper moans such as
armed conquest," etc., etc. What the
end of this military craze will be no
one can tell.
I am sending you herewith a let
ter 1 wrote to the New York World
Borne time ago. Head especially thf
last four pages.
With assurances of my esteem and
best wlBhos, 1 beg to remain,
Sincerely yours.
