A BOOST FOR KERN There seems to be a practical unanimity of sentiment In support of the candidacy of John W. Kern for United States senator from Indiana. Persons Interested in the success ot Mr. Kern's campaign have collected the editorial utterances of the Democratic press of the state, and more tian two-thirds of the counties have either declared for him through the local organizations or newspapers—in many Instances In both ways. In addition to this collection of sentiment it may bo said that the P.epublican press has also been most kindly disposed to Mr. Kern. While It is true that he must be elected, if at all, by the support of his party, it is conspicuously true that no man in the party is more popular with all the people than Mr. Kern. His long service in the party Is pointed to as deserving of a reward which is within the power of the party at this time to give.

It is also pointed out, and is certainly true, that no Democrat in Indiana would be so readily accepted in the United States senate as the true representative of Indiana Democracy as would Mr. Kero. The Democratic party of Indiana has for a long time been out of power, and the things it does now will go a long way in determining whether it shall be continued in power and its lead be increased.. The naming of John W. Kern for United States senator would help to establish the confidence of the people, and in his own party he is not a factional candidate. So far as state appointments are concerned, being free from promises before his election, this newspaper believes Governor Marshall is going to make no mistakes. His expressed determination to name men who are fit first, the second consideration being their standing in the Democratic party, is on the right business lines and on lines that the people will approve

regardless of party. We also believe that the legislature is going to work to establish a good record on a safe and sane basis. L. Ert Slack, who is popular in the Democratic party and who is the most conspicuous person contesting the

claims of John W. Kern to a seat in the United States senate, has a strong following, being also a member of tbe state senate. Senator Slack made a splendid and clean fight for the nomination for governor In the convention which named Thomas R. Marshall as its’candidate. He has since been conspicuously before the people as a man with whom the leaders must calculate. His loyal following places him in this position. But he is a young man in years, his progress being ahead of his age as poitical preferment is usually considered. He cannot be overlooked in the continued success of the party iu Indiana. At the present stage, however, the sentiment of the state, if followed means that Mr. Kern will be sent to the senate as the successor of Senator Hemenway.—lndianapolis Sun. , The two or three eligibles left In the whole country who are not mentioned as possibilities for Taft’s cabinet may be boys he tried to lick at school and 1 couldn’t. Here is a sample from the Richmond Item which shows the general tone of the Republican press toward the great cause of prohibition: •‘it will be many a day before the real friends of decent honest, antimachine and representative government will put their shoulders to the wheel to help out the Anti-Saloon league and others, leagues which at the critical time in Indiana politics threw their entire strength into the fight in support of the most pernicious, I double-faced and thoroughly disreputable political machine that ever cursed and looted a commonwealth.”

It is well not to let our surprise and indignation over the illegitimate operations of Standaid Oil blind our eyes to the marvelous business methods of the company. It has not only driven out competeition here, but has successfully competed with the long established ' and perfected systems of the old world. Mere greed and bludgeoning cjuld not have given Standard Oil the complete ascendency it enjoys today. [Mr. Rockefeller’s story of how the legitimate advantages of the company were wrought out is a feature of the I history which many American business men may learn from. It is a recl ord of keen business intellect working patiently and persistently. More expense and labor were put into leglti- ■ mate work than into illegitimate, and i competitors were outgeneraled rather by doing better work than by trickery. Stripped of its high finance superstructure, there remains a model business machine in Standard Oil.

The people have already demonstrated that they would rather trust a man who is naturally honest, than one who was honest only because he had to be. The Smith. Yager & Falk Drug Co. have a firmly established reputation for square dealing and sterling honesty. When they told the people that Rexall Remedies are the purest and most dependable remedies that it is possible for modern science to proIduce, and that they would tell the public exactly what each one of these 300 remedies contained, and that they sold Rexall Remedies on their own personal guarantee that they would give entire satisfaction or the medicine would not cost the user a single cent, they were believed. I Ever since thas announcement the ' store of the Smith, Yager & Falk Drug Co. have been crowded by people buying Rexall Remedies; all of which proves that The Smith, Yager & Falk Drug Co. have the confidence of the people and that honesty is the best ; policy. There is no “cure-all’’ among the • Rexall Remedies —there are 300 different and separate medicines; one for ■ each human ill,and each unquestion- ■ ably the best of its kind. Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are particularly recommended for the positive cure of stomach irritation, indigestion and dyspepsia. They are rich in Bismuth. Subnitrate Pepsin and Carminatives, and are prepared by a special process which perfects and enhances I the great curative value of tjiase | well-known medicinal agents. This I remedy sells for 25c. a package. Evj eryone suffering from a stomach disorder should try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets inasmuch as they cost nothing if they do not satisfy. The Smith, Yager & Falk Drug Co. are certainly fortunate in securing control of the sale of these remedies, and we urge everyone in need of medicine to investigate and take advantage of their frank and generous offer.
