Is The Test Of Time. Many Bonham-
People Have Made This Test.
Years ago this Botham woman told
in a public statement, the benefit de-
rived from Doan’s Kidney Pills. The
statement is now confirmed—the tes-
timony complete. Instances like this
are numerous. TYey d< ubiy prove'the
merit of Doan’s KlJnev Pills. Can
any Bonham reader ,em3nd more con-
vincing proof? It’s Bonham testi-
mony—it may be investigated.
Mrs. L. J. Majors, 816 W. Tenth
St., says: “I began to have p. con-
stant pain in my back and hip?. My
kidneys did not act right at all. I
used Doan’s Kidney Pills and one box
cured me, of the trouble.”
Seven years later Mrs. Majors said:
“I.gladly confirm my.former endorse-
ment of Doan’s Kidney Pills. They
helped me a*£reat deal when I used
them.”

Editor Bonham News:
All historians are fully agreed the
world over, that the United States of
America is the most perfeejt and the
most successful government ever de-
vised for the protection, Well being,
encouragement and advancement of
its people.
From all history one cannot find
wherein any government on earth,
from the beginning of history, had the
advantages that have been given and
vouchsafed to the people of the
United States. , 1
Every form of government had been
tried from the commencement of time
but failed to secure such blessings as
we of the United States enjoy today.
Theocracies, kingdoms, erripir*, au-
tocracies, plutocracies, end an attempt
at democracies were tried and all
failed far short in securing the bless-
ings which were due the people over
which they ruled. The lessors of his-
tory were before our fathers when
they laid the foundations of our
government. It was formed to avoid
all evils that had been, and wTere so
glaring and manifest in all govern-
ments in the world’s history even up
to the formation of our government,
and in the formation of mir govern-
ment, they laid ''well a formation for
a government that secured for us the
blessings that the people of the
United States have and arf now- en-
joying. A government of coordinate
pow’ers, executive, legislative and ju-
dicial each independent of the other
ar.d each in the discharge .of its du-
ties and obligations to the people,
was governed by fundamentals si im-
mutable as to ever secure to the peo-
ple the greatest liberty for their per-
fect happiness, security and success.
The fundamentals were so arranged
as to be ever a bulwark of freedom
and a continuous and everlasting bar
to tyrany and despotism. While mak-
ing secure the fundamentals making
them secure without change or
abridgement, the constitution in other
respects was elastic enough to per-
mit whatever change needed for a
progressive people by proper safe-
guards for amendments as [from time
to time were required.
The constitution provided forever
the sacred right of local self-govern-
ment, the sacred right of the writ of
habeas corpus, trial by jury, free
speech, a free press, the complete
dr.d forever divorcement ’of church
and state and the privilege -of wor-
shipping God according to the dic-
tates of conscience. These funda-
mentals had been denied to the world
and the freedom of man was unknown
as the abridgement of such inherent
rights, had oppressed, denied, subju-
gated, terrorized, stagnated and pros-
trated mankind until security of life,
property and happiness had been
usurped and left the world in dark-
ness, ignorance and oppression. With
the formation and adoption of the
constitution a comparative small num-
ber commenced the - building of an
empire under the greatest Of adverse
conditions upon the belted eastern
shores of the republic settled by the
Cavalier from Maryland and Virginia
South by the puritan on the New Epg-
'and shores, who had each fled from
despotism and oppression. I they had
to contend with the overcoming of
pi imevial forests infested with wild
beasts and savages. They had to
contend and subdue the obstacles of
primitive nature and therefrom they
wrought and builded a whole conti-
nent into the greatest civilization the
world has ever known and fashioned
a government of monumental pro-
portions, making and creating an ad-
vancement in education, commerce,
manufacturing transportation, archi-
tecture, and agriculture thkt excited
the w’onder of the whole world at
such monumental advancement that
had no counterpart in world history.
In creating, it left the door of op-
portunity open for r.ll alike by estab-
lishing the creed of equal justice for
all, and special privileges^ for - none.
It left a full and free opportunity
for individual inlative. that [each, anc
all could reap where they had sown
and created in each the sovereignty of
individual power which was the true
basis of the country’s greathess. The
capable liberty loving, individual, col-
li ctively is the basic edifice upon
which the power and gloijv of our
great government abides q a|nd exists.
Such cohesive power will evier last so
long as each individual adores and
reveres the principles of this, govern-
ment.
