Harrison—who was at least the equal of Mr. Roosevelt in statecraft —said once that “we hold no commission from Gxl to police the entire world. ” Commenting on this the Baltimore Herald, a newspaper, which is politically independent, says: “It is altogether possible that some present-day statesman may consider this remark as a confession of the weakness and cowardice which President Roosevelt G so fond of condemning, and others may view it as only an interesting relioof the ignominious days before our nation got out of its swaddling clothes and became a world power. It does not harmonize very well with the up-to-date policy involved in the caution to neighboring republics that they must behave themselves in order to avoid interference and castigation with the big stick.”

UM [Zfck wCO I wt JOHN W. KEtW. John Worth Kern, "n nominee for governor, has been prominent in the political and business life of Indiana for many years, and hardly now needs any introduction to the people of this county. He is a native of Indiana, is proud of her past and her strides toward future pre-eminence, and when elected governor will lend the impetus of progressive zeal and honest state pride to the effort to bring greater development of her resources and make her conspicuous among her sister states. Mr. Kern began the practice of law in Howard county when nineteen years of age. and. surrounded by Republicans and often urged to cast his fortunes with the majority, he held fast to his Democratic principles and has always voted with that party. For ‘welve years he was city attorney of Kokomo, but when elected reporter of I'-e supreme court in 1884 he removed td Indianapolis, where he has since .-sided In 1892 he was elected a state senator and was at once recognized as the leader of his party in that I body From 1897 to 1901 he held the : Important position of city attorney un- 1 der Mayor Taggart, a position that enabled him to demonstrate a profound , knowledge ot the law and one whick did much to bring his talents into pub- i lie notice. In 1900 he was the nominee of his party for governor and made a brilliant canvass of the state. Mr. I Kern Is a Ouent talker, earnest In man- | ner. bold in expression and zealous in every . or» that he undertakes.

A MEAN LIE. The most contemptible of all lies is one that is but a half truth, for. while seeming to deal fairly, its whole purpose is to mislead and deceive. Here is a sample of a mean He which the Republicans are sending to a subsidised press over the state: "The new tax law added to the revenues of the state nearly $1 500.000 annually: for the two years immediately succeeding its enactment the total increase in revenue, to be exact, was 52.830.9~5. and yet during these two years the $8,000,000 state debt was decreased not a single cent. During the th'rd rear of the operations of the new tax iaw. iietorcnuic fiscal officers paid one-fourth of the increase in revenue. or {140,000. on ’he state debt. The -.ext year they paid 5570.000, and in JatT’ary of the following year S4 n 0.0n0.” Tn the Corecoin? extract, which is a pa"t of the matter sent out bv the Republican state central committee, it is admitted that the Democratic state administration be?an to pay off the state debt in the third year of the new tax law operation. The reason why no money was paid on the debt earlier was because all the large railroad corporations. the Pennsylvania. Big Four and several others, refused to pav taxes under the new and increased assessments. and enjoined county officers in every county in the state from collecting the taxes. The litigation thus inaugurated was in the courts three years, and when the railroads were finallv beaten at all points the taxes were paid. The corporations were encouraged to make the flrht against the law by the onen den”rciation of the measure by the Republicans at the Fort Wayne convention ard by the spee-h of Chairman Fairbanks. In which he declared the law to be "odious.” B-- this gttittude of Mr. Fairbanks, th-n a recognised candidate for the United States senatorship, and the open denunciation of the law by his party, the state was compelled to pay interest on a large part of the debt for three ve”T when but for such encouragement the corporations would Ir l ve paid their taxes and the payment of the state debt would have been begun at once. Senator Fairbanks Is clinging to one office while running for another, and James A. Hemenway Is a candidate both for congress and the United States senate. Graft has become such a fixture In the Republican party that even its leaders grab at the future while holding desperately to the present’s emoluments. The Civil Service Commission declared that it will prosecute any person soliciting campaign contributions from government employes. A statement like this always emanates from the commission just before the Republics ns begin to levy contributions, and It is always followed by the same result—contri but lons.
