“Think of the ignorance ana illiteracy of the past, all vanished now.” he said. "Once while out on a mineralogical trip I wandered into a courthouse in an Arizona village. ‘‘The case afoot concerned a letter. The prosecution wanted this letter admitted in evidence, but the defense wanted it barred out. Finally the Judge said reluctantly:

“Hand the pesky, thing up here, and I'll decide on it/ “So the letter was handed up to tihe Judge, and he put on his spectacles and looked at it sideways and crosswise, and a loud laugh went up from the spectators. ‘What'are they laughing at?” I asked the man next me. "Why, at the Jedge’s bluff, o’, course/ was the reply. “The old fool can’t r£ad readin’-writin’ let alone writin’-writin’/ ”

ECONOMY WILL BE CAMPAIGN FEATURE

Democrats Take Stand Against Extravagance in Outlining Their Campaign. VICTORY SEEMS ASSURED High Cost of Living and Fallacy of Tariff Commission to Be Discussed. (Staff Correspondence.) Indianapolis—" The economical and statesmanlike administration of Governor Marshall, as contrasted with Republican administrations, will be made a prominent feature of the Democratic campaign in Indiana. The tariff question, including the high cost of living and the fallacy of Senator Beveridge’s tariff commission, will be discussed from every stump.”

This is the declaration of the Democratic Campaign Committee, voiced by its chairman, Samuel M. Ralston, of Lebanon, following a meeting of the committee here at which candidates on the State ticket and the Democratic congressmen were guests.

"Organization” was the keynote of the meeting, and it was the opinion of every one present, that with the cooperation of every Democrat, success was assured for the party in November.

After the meeting Chairman Ralston made the following statement: "The meeting of the campaign committee was attended by the State candidates and the Democratic candidates for Congress. In addition to these gentlemen, Governor Thomas R. Marshall, Lieut.-Gov. Frank J. Hall and the National Committeeman, Thomas Taggart, attended the meeting. “The general plan of the campaign was discussed at length, proper notice being taken of the political conditions in the various congressional districts. It waß the opinion of those present that the economical and statesmanlike administration of Governor Marshall, as contrasted with Republican administrations, should be made prominent in the campaign. The tariff question, including the increased cost of living and the fallacy of Senator Beveridge’s tariff commission, will be discussed from every stump. Governor Urges Economy.

“Governor Marshall made an enthusiastic speech, urging that the Democratic party must stand lor economy and the right of the people to rale in government. He said the Democratic party must not be put in the attitude of championing any particular interest "Mr. Taggart urged the importance of organization and placed his cervices at the disposal of the committee and the candidates. He assured them that he was ready to co-operate with the Democratic organization and was ready to take upon himself any work to which he might be assigned.

"Both Governor Marshall and Mr. Taggart assured the meeting that the outlook for Democratic success was never brighter. "It was the unanimous opinion of every one attending the meeting that among the foreign speakers. Mr. Bryan, Senator Goar and Champ Clark should be asked to take in the Indiana campaign. "Several gentlemen gave it as their judgment that Mr. Roosevelt’s coming Into Indiana to whip in line the Republican leaders who are fighting Senator Beveridge would result in failure. It was the belief of the meeting that these opponents of Senator Beveridge are not in frame of mind to be bossed. "On the liquor question, there was no difference of opinion. The party will stand on Its platform on this question."

Kern Prepares for Fight. John W. Kern, Democratic nominee for United States Senator, has gone to Bay View, Mich., where he will rest until September and outline his campaign. He promises to come back in fighting trim and give the Republicans the battle of their lives.

“I’m going to take a good rest,” said Mr. Kern an the day of his departure, “and I’ll come back full of fight” The spirit of “fight” has invaded every part of the State, and never in its history have the Democrats been so united upon issues and so determined not to be defeated by overconfidence. State Chairman Jackson is urging Democrats everywhere to stand by their guns and keep busy until after the votes are counted. This is Governor Marshall’s view of the situation. He believes success is assured if the Democrats will be vigilant, “fight” is also the spirit of Champ Clark’s message to the Democrats of Indiana and all other States. “The fight for a Democratic House, which will prove the forerunner of a Democratic President, Is now on,” says Mr. Clark. “We ought to win. I believe we will win. "But we must fight if we would win. The Republicans are so split up that some folks seem to think that all we have to do is to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Such overconfidence may cost us dear. The sure way to win is to fight today, tomorrow and every day until the polls close on the first Tuesday after the first Monday In November. Tta true the Republicans are badly scared, but we should remember that sometimes men fight most viciously when scared worst, and so it mar he with tbesa** !. A/ I '' -V ‘ 1 ///- ■ /h/Z/v,

The fact that J. Frank Hanly, as Republican Governor of Indiana, spent almost as much money from Ms office expense fund In three months as Governor Marshall was able to spend in nine months is a matter of satisfaction not only to Govsrnor Marshall’s personal friends, bet also te the taxpayers who elected him. They believe that when Governor Marshall said be stood for economy, he meant iL

The office expense fund of the Governor is 51,000 yearly. It Is available on October lof each year. When Governor Marshall succeeded Hanly In January, 1909, Hanly had had the use of this money for throe months and had spent 1300.76. From that time until the succeeding October—nine months —Governor Marshall spent only 8471.04. New York Financial America, commenting upon an interview given by Governor Marshall to the New York World, says: >

"Governor Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, has expressed himself recently upon the political ills of the present, and has pointed out remedies for their correction, which should go far to strengthen Democracy’s status in the nation’s eyes and to win for the Indiana statesman deserved recognition and respect Speaking entirely from the point of view of one whose belief in the power and judgment of the people is unshakable, whose insistence upon the maintenance of the constitution in all its parts is almost a religion, and whose knowledge of ‘political machines’ is absolutely of the kindergarten variety, Governor Marshall holds that two things are essential to calm our troubled political waters today. Return to Indent Ideals.

"First, said he, we must return to the ancient Ideals of the republic aa to the powers and duties of public officials. And, elucidating this, he explains that they must be kept strictly within the specified limitations of their constitutional powers. We have no hesitation in stating that few thoughtful, sober-minded men will differ from Governor Marshall herein. Leas than two years ago, under distinguished precedent or rather under the leadership of a distinguished statesman. It was the fashion to flout and belittle the constitution, to refer to it as “old fashioned und out of date," and to demand new legislation to reach its various alleged shortcomings. The undertaking, however, proved abortive, although for a time there seemed a great danger of a diminishing respect for our organic written law. The sober, second sense of the American people saved the day, and Governor Marshall’s words are the more welcome because of this fact. To the converted radical as well as to the man of sane thought his admonition will carry equal weight. "His second canon of belief is equally forceful and acceptable. It is: The conscience of the people of this country must be awakened to the fact that there is no place this side of Tophet where a man can afford to be dishonest or where he can afford to let his individual greed stand in the way of the continuance of the republic. Reducing these two statesmanlike utterances to their real meaning, we learn from Governor Marshall that we ■hall continue te have unrest until we have public offieials who acknowledge allegiance to nothing but the constitution, and people who are not satisfied with any other kind. No true citizen can question the validity of these propositions, and, indeed, their acceptance by the people is becoming daily more convincing.

Why Did We Get It! "That the Payne-Aldrich tariff law could escape the criticism of the Governor in his dus£uasion of political ‘ills’ is not to be imagined, and his views on that measure are certainly incisive. The greatest admission of its weakness, he pointed out, was the President’s defense of the bill before the people. And Mr. Taft’s confession that ‘the bill was the best we could get, although not Just whst we wanted’ appealed to Governor' Marshall's sense of humor as something inexpressively ludlcroua. If it was not what we wanted, why did we get it, asks he; and who was it would not let us have the best there is and just what.we wanted instead of the best we could get? To the demoralized and sorely stricken Republicans responsible for this bill, we refer Governor Marshall’s Socratian riddles. ‘ While ‘pointing with pride’ in the coming campaign to their unenviable record, they will answer the Governor, doubtless. The Democrats should see that his queries are propounded at every Republican rally, and if they do, they will gain votes. “A tariff for revenue only is the one platform necessary to mark plainly the division between ‘privilege’ or aristocracy, and popular rights or democracy. On this alignment the Governor believes the political battles of ths future will be fought, all believing In the protective principle rallying to the Republicans, and all others going over to the Democrats. We have been doctoring symptoms too long; the time has coine to reach the source of our troubles, and that is special privilege, a tariff product While Governor Marshall can expound political doctrine*, thus constructively and convincingly Democracy's cause Is not lost”
