WHY DIDN'T BRYAN FIND OUT? LAST FALL THE EDITOR OF the Ardmore (Okla.) Democrat, a democrat himself and democratic editors were never known to He, gave W. J. Bryan, candidate for president of the United States, ten typewritten pages containing Haskell's odiferous record. y All the charges made by Mr. Hearst and continuing to be made by him, were in that document. In his letter to President Roosevelt, Bryan replied that he was ignorant of any charges ever having been made against his treasurer of the democrtic national commitee, Haskell. If a republican editor had said that he had given Bryan that document it would have been difficult to believe, but an editor of Bryan's own faith gave it to him and SWEARS IN AN AFFIDAVIT THAT HE GAVE IT TO HIM. ' Do you think that Bryan is telling he truth or is he telling something Vtat rsn't true? ' j;NYOU CAr FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF! The Monnett charges against Haskell had been made clear in the Oklahoma campaign. His career in New York was not a secret; some of it was ' coat record. He was a discredited operator in Wall street. , if Bryan didn't know these things, WHY DIDN'T HE? Are the voters of this country to place their trust in a man who doesn't know what kind of advisers he has? Isn't a presidential candidate, especially such a pure-motived one as Bryan, supposed" to know his Intimate advisers and counsellors? By what test did Haskell qualify himself in the estimation of Bryan "himself? Are the voters, of this country to have confidence in a presidential candidate who doesn't know that his right-hand man is a touter of financial schemes? . We reiterate, if Bryan didn't know what kind of a man Haskell was, WHY DIDN'T HE KNOW? If you wanted a man to work for you and look after a financial proposition that meant everything to you, WOULDN'T YOU DO A LITTLE INVESTIGATING? We ask the laboring men of this region to remember that this man Haskell, as governor, vetoed the child labor law in Oklahoma. Why didn't Mr. Bryan know that? Everybody else In Oklahoma knew it. Has Bryan any right to ask the vote of organized labor when he MUST HAVE KNOWN that his man Friday, his Haskell, vetoed the child labor law. If he would tolerate, Haskell wouldn't he tolerate any other enemy of organized labor? DO YOU THINK THAT BRYAN DIDN'T KNOW? And w.e suppose that Bryan doesn't know what "Gum Shoe" Stone, Pat McCarren, Roger Sulivan, Charles Murphey and Tom Taggart, et al, are. OH NO! . WHO'S A RAILROAD ATTORNEY?

IT IS A PET CRY OF THE democratic papers in this state whenever they haven't anything else to whine over, that it is a sin against the people to send to congress any lawyer who has ever worked for a railroad corporation. John W. Kern is now an attorney for the Big Four and these same papers urge his being sent where he can have much influence in the United States. The other day Kern lost a pocket book containing passes, among them being an annual from the Big Four. Inasmuch as

Mr. Kern, nor any one else supposed to Tiding on any passes, it will be interesting to learn how he will explain the evident oversight. Possibly

Mr. Kern may find time to answer the charges that he is counsel and LOBBYIST FOR TEN BIG CORPORATIONS IN INDIANA. Kern will perhaps be a little guarded henceforth in his vitriolic attacks on corporate wealth. He ought to put a padlock on his pocket so as not to lose any more passes. ANOTHER BLOW FOR GOMPERS.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 19C8, by Edwin A. Nye. THE WINNINGS OF FRUGALITY. Stephen Rossga to Marclanna Rossga, consideration si, love and affection, property 422 West Superior street. Behind the foregoing real estate transfer, printed in a Chicago newspaper, is a fine story of frugality. Before he died Stephen Rossga deeded the flat building which he owned to his wife. The children, who are of the right sort, indorsed the father's transfer. One of them said: "Mother worked hard to help father earn the property, to raise the children and send us to school, and she de serves it as long as she lives." This is the story: Twenty-five years ago Rossga and wife came to Chicago from the old country. They wanted to bring up their children ten were born to them and earn a home in a free land. Rossga began working on a railroad at $1.75 per day, but did not get steady work. Never In his life did the man make over $75 per month. But the couple saved money. Inside of five jears' time they bought a lot which cost $1,100, making a payment down. In another five years they had paid for the lot and were able to start the building. It required thirteen years to pay for the flat, a three story brick building, with six suits of four rooms each, costing $7,000. But when the building was completed the thrifty people had a home of their own, and the rentals brought in an income enabling them to pay out. And that was fortunate, for shortly after the Rossgas moved into their property the husband was badly Injured in the leg and was unable to work until he died. A commonplace story of sordid de tails? It is not commonplace, because it is made beautiful by courage and faithfulness and sacrifice. Mind you, every foundation stone, every stick of timber, every brick, every hod of mortar, stands for the frugal living and the weary toil and devotion of these struggling foreigners. Why retell the homely tale? Because this generation needs the lesson. Most Americans with a family of ten children and the wages of a day laborer would scoff at the prospect of owning a $10,000 building, even at the end of twenty -five years. But It can be, has been, done. THIS BATE I! JITSTORY.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS The fellow who doesn't expect to Pay until judgment day la apt to so into Debt beyond His means. It isn't the first time Mr. Bryan, that you have made an issue out of Mr. Roosevelt's policies, but we are all hoping it will be the last.

"We certify to all the great electorate that when their votes la November shall have chosen Jamea S. Sherman to bo vlee president of the United States, the seaate will be sure ot a presiding officer la character and competency worthy of the best traditions of that great deliberate body, and that which God forbid the sad contingency were to come which should for a fourth time call a vice president from New York to the executive office, the interests of the whole country would be safe la good, hands, and the great office of the presidency would suffer no decadence from the high standard of disunity and honor and competency . of which we are ao Justly proud."

Some of the conferes individually expressed the opinion that the passage of the Cox bill took the option issue out of the campaign. Morocco, Ind., Sept 29.
