“WHO IS JOHN \*. KERN?” (Albany (N. y.) Daily Presa-Knicker. bocker, Ind. Republican.] “Who is John W. Kern?" asks William E. Corey, the multimillionaire steel magnate, who gained notoriety by marrying Mabelle Gilman, the actress. In the first place, John W. Kern Is sn old fogy. He has such old-fash-ioned notions that he despises a man who would divorce his wife and the mother of his children in order to gratify an insane passion for an actress. John V. Kern is one of those back numbers who place honor above dollars. He would not sell his soul for gold, even though the devil offered him all the yellow metal there is in the bowels of the earth. He has remained a comparatively poor man all his life rather than enter a combine to rob the people and drive competitors out of business. He never, so far as we have been able to learn, either founded a public library or endowed a college. Having lived an upright, wholesome, God-fearing life all his days, he has never felt the necessity of apologizing to his Maker or offering penance in the form of lucre for his sins. Wilnam E. Corey is about as sharp a contrast to John W. Kern as could be found within the boundaries of the LTnited States, with the possible exception of James S. Sherman, the other candidate for vice president. No man who holds dear the honor of this country can contemplate the possibility of James S. Sherman becoming, through an act of Providence, the president of the LTnited States without shuddering, whereas, if John W. Kern should be called upon to step into the highest office he would grace it.

“Who is John W. Kern?" asks the faithless nabob who cast off his faith ful wife, the woman who had bravely shared his days of poverty and had struggled with him to build up his fortunes, as a man throws away a lemon after he has squeezed all the good out of it. Such impertinence deserves no answer, were it not for the sake of calling attention to the brazen effrontery of men of Corey’s stamp who had. through the medium of protected monopoly, grown to he the greatest menace that confronts this nation today. Anarchy can be stamped out by force, but the insiduous evil imposed upon this long-suffering people by men whom President Roosevelt designates very forcibly as "malefactors of great wealth,” is even more to be dreaded than anarchy. “Who is John W. Kern?” Why, a plain, honest American citizen of the highest type, an unpretentious, cleanliving man. yet of scholarly attainments and commanding intellect. Had that purse-proud Pittsburg millionaire read John W. Kern’s masterly reply to the apology of James S. Sherman, he would have no need to ask, “Who is John W. Kern?” SMASHING A LIE. In a statement given to the newspapers, Chairman Jackson of the Democratic state committee effectually squelches the Republican falsehood about brewery contributions having been made to the Democratic committee. The statement is as follows: “The frantic efforts of the Republicans to escape a fair consideration of the vital issues of the campaign havg caused a good many false and a good many silly things to be forced upon the public from their side of the road. Among other thingy, there is the report that the liquor interests have contributed immense sums to the Democratic campaign fund. This story is not true. To use the ‘shorter and uglier’ word, it is a be. Neither the liquor interests nor anybody for them or in their behalf have given a cent to our funds. They have not been and will not be solicited to do so and have never been expected to do so. •The only money we have had for the expenses of our campaign has come from the candidates on our ticket and from Democrats who are interested in the success of our party from unselfish reasons —not one of whom has any sort of connection with the liquor interests. For many campaigns these interests, as is known to all informed persons, have contributed their money and votes to the Republican party' which they have done all they could to keep in power. The Democratic party has had no help, financially or otherwise, from that source — asked for none and expected none. “The Democratic party is a party of principles. It stands by its principles regardless of who favors or who opposes them. This is precisely its atstude in this campaign. We have adopted platforms that express our beliefs with respect to the questions before the people. We stand on these platforms and are fighting for our be-, jigf s — a nd we shall continue to do so. j We are right, we deserve to win this election and we shall win it. The people are with us and they are not going to be fooled, hoodwinked or misled by any form of falsehood or misrepresentation “STOKES JACKSON, “Democratic State Chairman.”

CONSIDER THESE FIGURES. < The current number of the Indiana , Bulletin of Charities and Correction, issued by the Indiana Board of State l Charities, contains a report for the j nine months ending June 30, 1908, the i figures relating to the institutions un- I der the supervision of the board, in- 1 eluding the four hospitals for the in- * sane, the school for feeble-minded, the ’ soldiers’ home, soldiers' and Sailors' 1 orphans' home, the village for epilep- 8 tics, the state schools for the deaf and * for the blind and the five penal and correctional institutions. The maintenance expenses of these i institutions for the nine months make i a total of 11.392,304.52, divided as fol- < lows: i SALARIES AND WAGES.! 517.778.41 1 Subsistence 384,327.33 ' Clothing 63,580.70 ] OFFICE, DOMESTIC AND . OUTDOOR EXPENSES. 357,114.81 , Ordinary repairs 69,503.27 Total $1,392,304.52 The above figures are rather striking. They show that for nine months 1 of this year the state has paid on ac- I count of the above named institutions the sum of $874,893.22 for salaries, wages, office, etc., expenses, while in the same time there was paid for food and clothing for all of the state’s charges the sum of $147,908.03. In other words, only half as much money was spent for the inmates of the institutions as was spent in the w r ay of salaries, etc. Did the inmates get too little or the officials too much? STANDARD OIL WORKING FOR TAFT. The trusts and monopolies are working with all their might for Taft and Sherman. The Standard Oil company is as busy as the rest of them. The following article, which is reproduced from the Gary Evening Times, a Taft paper, which printed it under big headlines, shows one line along which the Standard is working: (Special to The Times.) Whiting, Ind., Sept. 14.— Positive declarations have been adduced that the Standard Oil company, victims of Judge Landis’ $29,000,000 fine, will support the republican candidates for national office in this year’s campaign. The information was received yesterday by a Times representative from a reliable source and is absolutely of the utmost importance to local office-seek-ers as it gives them the assurance that they may be carried into power on the strength of the national ticket, at least. Receive Literature. For several weeks, office employes of the Standard Oil company at Whiting have received the Issues of Harper’s Weekly, one of the dominant republican papers of the year. Articles of unusual strength, advocating the Taft-Sherman platform and denouncing Wattersonian ideas as advanced by Mr. Bryan have appeared weekly. The campaign waged by the Harper company has been virile in the extreme and will influence its readers to a marked degree. There has been no charge made for these papers and the recipients have often refused to accept them from the postoffice, believing that they will some day receive a bill for the subscription. Weeklies Gift of Company. Investigation at the Chicago postal headquarters, through which the Harper magazines pass, revealed the fact that the weeklies are the gift of the Standard Oil company, who have paid a year's subscription in advance for upward of 200 of their employes. The method of campaign managing has been kept very secret until discovered by The Times representative and is a new one in political circles. It is believed that other corporations will ( follow the example of the oil interests and elect their candidates by the distribution of such sensible campaign literature as that produced by the Har- i per company. j __ ] Labor in Politics. f [Evansville Advocate (Labor.)] There is a plank in the platform of the Democratic party of such vital interest. not only to the trade unions c of the United States, but to all those who labor that too much importance cannot be attached to it. Tn the event of the election of the Democratic party in November labor, a for the first time in the history of this o union, will have a bureau solely to look ti after its interests. It will be dignified e by a labor man being made a cabinet h officer, a man of practical knowledge of conditions in the labor world, a man who will be a member of the h president’s advisory family. This very essential point has been a: heretofore completely ignored by Re-' a publican administrations, who have p, seemingly felt that labor was not en- F titled to distinct and individual recognition. This is but further evidence , of the sincerity of William Jennings j Bryan when he announces as his slo-1 gan “Let the People Rule.’’ fc The great wealth producers of this g, country surely are entitled to this much recognition. Capital is important, but the man whose efforts have made this capital surely is entitled to ® c greater recognition in the conduct of m the affairs of this United States than at be has? heretofore received. th

Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 28. —(Special to Daily Democrat)—Representative Kniseley, of DeKalk county, today handed a statement to the Democratic state chairman, Stokes Jackson, I its truth supported by his affidavit, in wrhich he swears that Governor' Hardy, in the presence of Senator' Wibkemire offered him (Kniseley) a two thousand dollar a year state job | if he would vote for local option, i M ickemire had denied the statement as false and malicious. The Demo- ' crats will use the affidavit in the ' campaign, Indianapolis. Ind., Sept. 28.—Governor Hanly, after a conference with the republican state committee, announced today, that he will speak for the republicans during the remainder of' the campaign, wherever they may decide to send him.

The officers it is said, have a good clue and that one of the men implicated formerly worked here. It Is also given out that the first suspicion as to his guilt was iroused when it was discovered that i gasoline can which he knew of had jeen stolen and was left in the car. Further details may be given the pubic within a few days. The Democratic speech to bp made onigfat at the court house by Ex-Con-tressman James Robison, the most icpular politician in the. Twelfth dlsrict, will be very interesting. Robinion is a speaker of ability and able o interest any audience. Everybody ittend and hear a fair discussion of he pending campaign.
