MR. VOTER WITH A WIFE AND CHILDREN
Would you rather live in a state ruled by the brewery trust and Tom-Taggart, or would YOU rather live in a state where the PEOPLE rule? If you want the brewers to have everything they can get their hands on, vote for Marshall. If you believe the PEOPLE have a right to have their say, vote for Watson. It is up to you!
RICH PAPA AND HIS DAUGHTER.
SINCE THEY HAVE TAKEN to abducting rich men's daughters ' in automobiles there's more trouble for the old man. It is necessary now to
keep a car to get after the heartless robbers.
The truth is life is nothing but a chore to the rich man. A man becomes wealthy, and if he has daughters, he has many cares. He cannot enjoy himself. Daughter is a precious asset She is sure to be courted
and if it isn't by the right party, of course, papa gets the blame. Somebody swoops down on her and carries her off, if not one waywhy in another.'
Perhaps she remembers poor papa and perhaps Ehe doesn't. She van
ishes and telephones a few hours later that she is ..Mrs. So-and-So-" Oh,
my daughter and oh my ducats. Especially my " ducats. , Poor rich ! ' MR. TAFT IS MAKING LOTS OF FRIENDS.
A "CONVERTED" CONVICT. Behold, I show you a mysteryl The other day a man stood in a Chicago station 'with a smile on his lace and folding in his hand a ticket to Michigan City, Ind. He was an escaped convict voluntarily going back to prison. The man said it was thchappiest day of his life! You do not understand how a man
who was going back to the hard labor, the coarse fare and the degradation of
the penitentiary could be perfectly happy. Nor do I. That is the mystery.
This is the man's story: A few months ago he bad escaped
from the Indiana prison, fleeing to the west. In a western city he attended a
street meeting of the Salvation Army and was "converted." He immediately started back to Indiana, stopping in Chicago for a day. A number of Chicago Salvationists went with him to his train.
A dispatch to the Chicago papers next
day confirmed the story. The convict promptly reported to the warden and was put to work.
Understand the mystery? No. It is because we know very little
about that strange spiritual alchemy
that transmutes the baser elements of
a man into the pure gold. The meaning of the word converted is plain
enough "turned around" but one can
scarcely realize how a man may be reversed in motive and in purpose so that he comes o love the things he once
hated and to hate the things he once loved. We only know the results of
the radical process.
And we can understand how, with
his new viewpoint of life, he could be
happy. Although his only prospect
was that of the dismal years stretching
Into the forbidding future, yet from
that appalling programme he could ex
tract a pleasure.
Why?
Because In the turning upside down
of his nature this convict somehow had
come to realize the significance of real freedom that It is spiritual freedom.
Penitentiary barriers might hold his
body in slavish bonds, but his soul
would be free and happy.
And because he was glad .to pay to
the last full measure, the debt he owed the state his conscience would be void
of offense and there would come to Mm
the peace that passeth all understanding.
OF COURSE IT IS ALL VERY well for Bryan to declare that he is
glad Taft is getting oat among the people. Those who know anything, know better than that.
Instead of being delighted over Mr. Taft's trip, Mr. Bryan would really
be better pleased if Mr. Taft stayed at home.
One of the plans of the democratic campaign was to create prejudice
against Mr. Taft.
It has been "hoped that the voters, particularly the voters of organized
labor, could be persuaded that he was a bad sort of a fellow, a Mephistophoies
or a visionary being of that ilk. Mr. Bryan wanted for his own exclusive
right of traveling around the country.
Now as the hundreds of steel workers at Indiana Harbor on Wednes
day, found out it is exceedingly difficult to get the impression that Mr.
Taft is a bad man and dangerous foe of labor by looking into the frank
Taft countenance.
He is not an orator. The democrats who are used to wind-jamming
can make all out of that, which they can. Mr. Taft never claimed to be an orator.
Nevertheless his personality certainly establishes relations of friend
ship with any audience he addresses.
In the smiling visage . of Mr. Taft there is nothing suggesting slip periness or of playing a part or of being possessed by the spirit of humbug
Mr. Taft's political journeying Is on his own motion. Unlike Mr. Bryan
he will not do his own cause anyharm. ANOTHER PUNCTURE IN THE BRYAN GAS BAG.
AMONG THE REPUBLICAN SPEAKERS who have done much to punc
ture the Bryan gas bag, is Governor Charles Hughes.
Mr. Hughes is the man who is beloved by the people of New York. He
Is the man who does things. It is interesting to note what Mr. Hughes says
of Mr. Bryan. An excerpt from one of his speeches reads: "Hermetically corked up on the old issues of free silver, imperialism and government ownership of railways, Mr. Bryan is scrutinizing the record of republican administration during the past twelve years with a microscope to find some peg on which to hang an atttack- It would not be althogether surprising if a party which had done so much In this period to advance the glory and economic progress of the country had made a casual error here and there. These twelve years have witnessed the war with Spain, which gave freedom to Cuba and Porto Rico and brought the Philippines under American authority. They have witnessed the emergence of the country from depression and financial uncertainty upon the firm ground of the gold standard, enacted into law by a republican congress. They have witnessed the erection of a navy which is carrying our flag with honor around the world. They have witnessed the extension of the strong hand over the railways and the great corporations in behalf of equality of treatment for all citizens. In sum and substance, these twelve years have witnessed for the average man a degree of prosperity and comfort never before equaled under any flag in any country since the world began." THE BREWERY PARTY LOSES THE FIRST BATTLE.
GOOD WORK IS BEING DONE at Indianapolis.
The baffled brewers and their friend, T. Taggart, have lost the first
battle between law and order and the impudent brewing combine, com
posed of the Hon. Albert Lieber. the Hon. Crawford Fairbanks and the Hon
Steve Fleming.
The minority report on the county option bill lost out by a small margin. ,The brewers have been telling what they would do with the bilj when
they democrats got a crack at it. They didn't, that's all. Now for the big fight!

THIS IS MY B8TH BIRTHDAY. A Heaton Robertson.
Abram Heaton Robertson, who has
been nominated by the democrats for
governor of Connecticut, was born in
New Haven, Sept. 25, 1850. His fath
er was a former mayor of that city.
The younger Robertson received his
education at Yale and at the Columbia University Law School, graduating
from the last-named institution in
1874. Soon after beginning the practice of law In his native cltv Mr. Rob
ertson was elected to the Connecticut
general assembly and continued
member of that body for several years.
Later he served several years as cor
poration counsel of the city.' He is regarded as a high authority -on corporation law and also on the subject
of civil service as applied to munici
pal government. His nomination for
governor of Connecticut is not an en
tirely new honor for him, as he was a candidate for the same office on the democratic ticket four years ago and
was defeated.
