IS MR. GOMPERS DELIVERING THE VOTE?
SAY, MR. BUSINESS MAN Suppose you needed a man to run YOUR business for YOU would you hire Bryan, who is a trimmer, a failure, an excusemaker and a dodger on every public question, or would you hire Taft, whose steadfast principles are not subject to CHANGE OVER NIGHT and of whose acts or utterances no apolgy or explanation has ever been required? Which would YOU hire?
WE DO NOT HEAR SO MUCH of Mr. Gompers as we did a few weeks
ago. Why?
For the simple reason that a great light has been revealed to him- His
promise to deliver the labor , vote to Mr. tiryan nas canea lorm sucn a cyclone of protest from the laboring man that Mr. Gompers stands stunned
and discredited.
He has found that the bread-winners of his country are no fools. They,
too, have profited by the experience of the 1892-1896 panic. He doesn't propose to exchange the eight years of prosperity, for Mr. Gompers' pleasure and Mr. Bryan's gratification.
It is our boast that the American workman is the most intelligent in the
world. He knows, a3 well as other citizens do, that politics is the most nar
rowly selfish of all the professions. He knows that he is always exploited and coddled by men of the Bryan type at election times. He has learned to weigh
and judge for himself. He has suffered in hard times; he has enjoyed pros perity in good times. He is not going to barter high wages and regular em
ployment for Mr. Gompers' sake or because the skyrocketing Bryan tries to
mislead him into voting for him. ,
If the workingman of Lake county decides to vote for Bryan, it won't be
because Mr. Gompers has promised to deliver his vote to Bryan.
Rather will he weigh carefully FOR HIMSELF which party has been
his friend.
And we are inclined to think that friend is not the man who has made himself a rich man by using his mouth to become a perpetual candidate for
the presidency. A STICKY SAMPLE OF DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY.
SAVED A MAN! In Kansas City a man was arrested for stealing from the register of a telephone box. The thief! But wait A newspaper man saw a good Btory behind the arrest He questioned the prisoner and went out to the home or hut on the outskirts of the city. He learned this: The -wife of the prisoner was ill. There were three children and a dead baby. Because the man had to stay at home to nurse the wife he lost his place in the packing plant Then the
baby died. There was no money for
funeral. And the sick wife cried
because her baby was to be buried as a pauper. She begged to have "a lltt !:-
white coffin."
Put yourself In the man's place. He tried to borrow; he tried to i a
credit at the undertaker's in vai.t Then in desperation he broke into t'ic telephone box and was caught
The newspaper man, an archangel in
breeches, told the story in his newspaper, ne put some heart' into the story. The effect?
The police judge refused to hold the
man when the telephone manager said he would not prosecute. An undertaker said he would furnish the coffin and
wait for his pay. Neighbors made the
family comfortable. A job was found
for the man, who said through his
tears, "I'll show the people I'm an honest man."
And they buried the dead baby In a
little white coffin, borne to the ceme
tery in a white hearse. And there were carriages in the procession.
Fine!
The heart of humanity Is wondrous
kind if you but know how to touch it
The sympathies of men and women are incomparably noble in response when once they are stirred. But the finest thing in all this Kansas City story is
that
Society saved a man!
Suppose suppose in the hour of his
desperation and temptation the world
had turned its back upon this father? He would have gone to the penitentiary with hatred in his heart to become a hardened criminal. The sick wife might haTe died. The baby would have been buried in the potter's field. The three children would have been
turned adrift
At heart the man was not a thief.
He jumped at the chance to show him
self a man. He was saved in the nick
of time saved where many are lost be
cause our society is keyed to punishment instead of salvation.
DEMOCttATlu UALAMj.T-iiuwL.ii;KB Ajtcu malting a great ado over
what they call the Roosevelt panic and with the usual inconsistency of dem
ocrats have stumbled into a funny hole.
Bryan, the pereptual presidential candidate of the democratic party, is
running around the country like a chicken with his head cut off, shouting
himself hoarse that he Is the beir to the Roosevelt policies. "Make me sue
cessor to Roosevelt," he cries in stentorian term3 and I'll carry out his policies. Bryan says that he and Roosevelt are alike as two peas. He asks
the republicans to vote for him because he believes as Roosevelt does.
Then his followers denounce the republican administration as being the cause of hard times. Bryan is anxious to succeed Roosevelt's administra
tion. Was there ever such clap-trap?
Doesn't it prove to your satisfaction that it is anything and everything
with Bryan the long distance candidate. Yes, Mr. Bryan is a great straddler.
By 1912 he will be able to run for the presidency blindfolded and with
one hand tied behind him. 9 THE BREWERS AND THEIR DEBAUCH OF LEGISLATORS.

THE BREWERS ARE IN THE saddle at Indianapolis debauching legis lators.
In order to obstruct the passage of the county option bill the brewery
combine, which is supporting Marshall for governor of Indiana and Instruct
ing its henchmen to knife Watson, is going to fearful lengths. t
Word comes from Indianapolis from reliable sources that the brewery
combine in its desperation has hired rounders to keep certain members of
the legislature in a state of intoxication and supplying the funds for these
debauches.
The gigantic insolence of the millionaire brewery combine in trying to
control the state of Indiana by putting Marshall in the chief executive's chair
is unparalleled in politics in this or any other state.
Are the voters of Indiana going to permit the brewers to run this state? Are the voters of Indiana going to permit the brewers TO DEBAUCH DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS SO THAT THE COUNTY OPTION BILL WILL BE DEFEATED and enable Messrs. Lieber.

THE SILLY DEMOCRATS FORGET that Bryan wa3 greeted by monster crowds in his previous campaigns, and they are kicking up their heels because he is doing it again. Everybody goes to a circus.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS
For President WILLIAM H. TAFT
" He la aa strong aa he ia gentle. His reputation ia simply spotless. In nil the agitation of a heated campaign for the greateat office in the world, no oae haa ventured to intimate a doubt of the ahaolnte honesty of thia man who haa been before the country for a quarter of a century. Nor can any one inc. ceasfully dispute the simple proportion that in the whole history of the Vnited Statea no one was ever named for the presidency who waa so fitted by nature, by training; and by experience for the dutiea, digaitlea and responsibilities of that unique office CHARLES HOPKINS, in "The Independent."
For V-Prcsident JAMES S. SHERMAN
"We certify to all the great electorate that when their votes In November ahall have chosen Jamea S Sherman to be vice president of the Vnited Statea, the aenate will be sure of a presiding officer in character and competency worthy of the best traditions of that great deliberate body, and that which God forbid the and contingency were to come which should for a fourth time coll a vice president from Sew York to the executive office, the interests of the whole country would be safe in good hands, and the great office of the presidency would suffer no decadence from the high standard of dignity and honor and competency of which we are so justly proud."

The Newton County Enterprise, In a strong editorial, scores the narrow atti
tude of the democrats of Benton county, who seem to be unable to see over their
own limited horizon and recognise and approve of the splendid work of Con-
ressman Edgar Dean Crumpacker in aiding in the development of the harbor
facilities of the Calumet region.
It Is hardly conceivable in this day, when the sentiment for deep waterways
is sweeping ever the country with irresistible force, that a group of democrats ia
an Indiana county like Benton should actually go on record against harbor Improvements. By way of apology for Benton county, it might be said that the adherents of the democratic party there are by no means a majority of the population.
The following editorial Is one of the strongest endorsements of Mr. Crum-
packer's work in congress that has recently been madei
HARBOR IMPROVE3IENT. "In the early days of spring the democrats of Benton county met In county
convention, and in addition to other business transacted, heard and adopted a
report of a committee xn resolutions. M. Duffy, who is either from Benton
county or Newton, It makes but little difference which, acted as chairman of the
ommittee, and after "deploring" and setting out the usual tale of woe, devotes
paragraph to Judge Crumpacker, alleging that he introduced and tried to se-
ure the passage through congress of a resolution' providing for a Harbor bn
the shores of Lake Michigan for the use of the United States Steel corporation.
The allegation is not true, but the mere matter of an untruth would not in any
measure deter the committee from making the allegation.
"But suppose it was true? Is not the building of the new steel city on the
shores of Lake Michigan a matter of prime Importance to every voter in the tenth district? Is not the expenditure of 175,000,000 and the employment of thousands of skilled laborers a matter of moment to the people of this district.
irrespective of party or occupation? In fact, the building of Gary will add im
measurably to the value of all property In northwestern Indiana, help the people of Indiana pay their taxes and add thousands of homes to our population. This being true, we ask if It Is a crime to provide a harbor for shipping to enter
the district to carry away the product of the factory, the workshop and the
field? The farmers of Newton county and also Benton are interested, yes.
vitally interested in cheap transportation to the eastern markets of the products of the farm. Every penny taken off the freight rate means that much more for
the farmer for his corn and oats. A harbor at Indiana Harbor or Gary, connecting with the freight carrying boats of the great lakes with the Chicago, Indiana & Southen railroad, would be of vast benefit to the farmers of Beaton
and Newton counties, and therefore Judge Crumpacker Is not only justified in
supporting harbor improvements but it. is his imperative duty to do so. " His opponent. Judge Darroch, dare not go before the people of this district openly opposed to the mighty industries adding millions of dollars to the values of the district and state, whose development Is of such great importance to the whole
people. It Is therefore a matter of moment and every voter has a right to know if Judge Darroch Is in harmony with the spirit of the resolution adopted
by the democracy of Benton county, which is outspoken, if the resolution means anything, in opposition to the development of our harbors and water
ways. It can be stated positively that Judge Crumpacker is in line with the
policy of the general government to develop water transportation wherever it
can be successfully done, with a view of establishing competition with rail transportation and avoiding congestion and delay in busy seasons of tfie year. Lake Michigan is the only lake water front there is In Indiana and when Judge Crumpacker was first elected to congress Michigan City had the only harbor
in the state. He secured appropriations for improvements at that place, so that harbor is now in excellent condition.
"Since then two other harbors have been constructed one by the people
at Indiana Harbor and the other by the Steel company at Gary. Neither one of
these harbors eost the government a dollar. The people of Indiana Harbor have spent probably a half million dollars in dredging and other harbor improve
ments, ine citizens at inaiana iiarDor oeueve mat tne government ougnt to take up the work there and complete the improvement. Railroads are putting
In bascule bridges to accommodate boats that enter that harbor, and the engineer of the war department In charge of that department of he lake has investigated the situation at Indiana Harbor and has made a very favorable report to the secretary of war, which will doubtless be submitted to congress at the next session. The Steel company at Gary has never asked the government
to aid in the construction of its harbor. It will spend probably a million and a half of dfillars In the construction of the harbor. It did have a survey made of the harbor and surroundings with a view of determining whether it would be expedient to construct a breakwater out in the lake. If the government does not see fit to construct the breakwater the Seel company will ask permission to- do it at its own expense. In the recent session of congress Judge Crumpacker introduced a resolution requiring the secretary of 'war to make a
complete survey of the Grand Calumet river from its Indiana mouth In the northeastern corner of Lake county around to its Illinois mouth at the South
Chicago harbor, with a view of promoting water transportation in a systematic
manner in northwestern Indiana. His idea was that the Grand Calumet river
should be opened up and made a ship canal from northwestern Indiana around
to the South Chicago harbor, and the two harbors that have already been con
structed on the lake should be cut back to the Calumet river. It will not cost a great deal of money to so improve the Calumet river, and it will then afford
docking privileges and water transportation to innumerable industries. The resolution was not acted upon at the last session of congress, but will be con
sidered at the next session. The steel company is in no wise interested in this
improvement. It has Its harbor and its iron plant already established on the
lake. The river improvement cannot in any sense benefit that industry. The
democrats in Benton county denounced Judge Crumpacker for undertaking to
secure the appropriation of millions of dollars for the benefit of the steel trust and the Standard Oil company. The Standard Oil company at Whiting has no
harbor and does not want one. Its land does not touch the Calumet river and It could not possibly be benefited by any improvement to that river. It
has no boats on the lake that require a harbor at Whiting. It consumes no coal. It uses oil as fuel and It conducts its oil to Whiting in pipe lines
and carries it away in tank cars, so that the Standard Oil is in no way interested
in lake transportation.
"Northwestern Indiana is already a great industrial center and is destined
to become perhaps the greatest seat of manufacturing in the United States. In comparatively few years we look for a city of a quarter of a million population
there, with numerous factories of one kind or another. "The C, I. & S. railroad, which is of so much benefit to Newton and Benton counties is one of the direct results of the Improvements at Indiana Harbor. With the establishment of first class harbor facilities on Lake Michigan the farmers throughout the tenth district will be in direct communication with a point where there is competition between railroad and water transportation and they will be able to get the best rates possible. It will be unnecessary to send their products into Chicago and pay a high rate for switching charges and other incidental expenses. "Judge Crumpacker would be recreant In his duty; he would be unfit to represent the people of this district if he did not do all in his power to promote the development of industries and commerce in the only lake front in the state. A candidate for congress who would not favor the development of industries and commerce along the lake would not receive many votes from any party in any of the counties north of the Kankakee river and he ought not to. As a matter of fact, he would not be entitled to the vote of any thinking man from any county in any part of the district.."
