To show its dislike it proceeds to enumerate all the great senators that have gone frqm Indiana, and its list includes Morton, Hendricks. McDonald. Vorhees, Harrison. Fairbanks and Beveridge, of course. Then it wants to know what either of the present senators have done to measure up to these men. It classes Kern as a mere errand boy of the president. John W. Kern is the democratic leader in the senate and has been ever since the first session he served. He had not i>een a member three months until his ability as a leader was recognized by the fifty members of the democratic side, many of whom had served twelve to twenty years in that body of able men. That this body of men would put at their head a man who did not measure up with the ablest men on thd republican side, would have been folly, more especially when it was known that a number of important measures would be up that ■would take skill in leadership to get passed. If we mistake not. the Star published several predictions that the senate would never pass the currency measure because of certain opposition ip. the senate, which had killed all previous financial legislation during republican administrations. But Senator Kern piloted that bill through without compromise, notwithstanding the predictions of the wiseacres who were writing for the Star. If the Star would take the trouble to investigate in Washington from the senators who are best acquainted with the work of the senate, it will find that Senator Kern will measure up to the most able senators the Star named and away above some of them whose chief stock in trade was grandstand oratory.—New Castle Times.

The I principal speakers. Senator Kern, ) Congressman Adair and others, can- • not lie present for a month, however. ’ as congress will open soon and there , will be no meetings until after the 1 holidays, when a have been announced, including Brookville.
