For President WILLIAM H. TAFT
He Sm mm stroma; as he la gentle. His reputation fa simply apotlena. la n the agitation of a heated campaign foe the greatest office In the world, no one has ventured to Intimate a doubt of the absolute honesty of this man who has been before the country tor quarter sf a century. Nor can any one" successfully dispute the simple proposition that In the whole history of the United States no one was ever named for the presidency who wan so fitted by nature, by training aad by experience for the duties, dignities and responsibilities of that unique office CHARLES HOPKINS. In "The Independent."
For U-President JAMBS S. SHERMAN
We certify to all the great electorate that when their votes la November shall bare chosen James S. Sherman to be vice president of the United State, the senate will be aore of a presiding officer In 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 n fourth time call a vice president from New York to the executive office, the Interests of the whole country would be safe In good hands, end the great office of the, presidency would suffer no decadence from tbe high standard of dignity and honor and competency of which we are so justly proud."

Ruler And Consort Who Has Brought Crisis On Balkans
SEND MR. CRUMPACKER BACK TO WASHINGTON.
WHEN YOU HAVE A GOOD man, keep him. This is axiomatic in business, it should be so in politics. If you have a iood man in congress keep him there. The reason is not merely that he should be rewarded, but what is of far more importance, that his constituency may benefit by his experience.. Only by seniority in congress is a man's standing assured. His influence there comes from length of service. New men have little influence. Committee appointments bring congressmen influence; THEY GO TO TRIED MEN. A new man cannot begin where his predecessor left off. The Calumet region is now jn a critical period of its history. It needs Mr. Orumpacker back in congress badly. Be Mr. Darroch his democratic opponent ever so ambitious and zealous, he would have to be in congress years before he could do anything for the Calumet region. All he could do for this region would be to speak for it. That wouldn't get it anything. It is committee work only which will get anything for the Calumet region. Now, why should Hon. Edgar D. Crumpacker, the representative in congress from this district, be returned to congress. He is one of the hardest woiiers and one of the ablest men in the 'irationai 'legislature'.-" He1 attends every session of the house and takes part in the discussion and consideration of every important measure coming before that body. Since he has been a member of congress he has never left his post of duty, even to attend his own nominating conventions.
Among his colleagues at Washington he occupies a commanding po
sition. He has the distinction of having more important committee assign
ments than any other member of the house. He is chairman of the com
mittee on the census, which, since the establishment of the Permanent Census bureau, is one of the important and busy committees of congress. He is ranking member of the committee on insular affairs, which has to do with all legislation concerning the insular possessions of the country. He is also a member of the ways and means committee, which is composed wholly of the leaders in congress. It is doubtful if the people of the Tenth district cf Indiana realize the prominent position their representative occupies in the councils of the nation. This is perhaps due somewhat to the modest and retiring disposition of Mr. Crumpacker. He is not a glory seeker, and is too busily engaged in the interests of his constituents to advertise his work. He has been prominently identified with every important piece of legislation that has been enacted by congress during the last ten years. The I Porto Rican tariff measure and the Philippine government act are perhaps the greatest items of constructive legislation that has been enacted since the civil war, and no man in congress had more to do with shaping these measures than Mr. Crumpacker. His work in connection with that legislation alone has gained for him a place in the history of the country for
all time. Hi3 integrity and ability have won the respect and admiration of his colleagues, both democratic and ' republican. His advice is sought on all questions of legislation, not only by members of congress, but by the administrative officers of the government. President Roosevelt time and again has called him into consultation and sought his judgment on proposed legislation, and no man is in closer touch with the policies of the administration , than the representative from the Tenth district. Judge Taft and Mr. Crumpacker are close personal friends. The former while - chairman of the Philippine commission and secretary of war had occasion to learn of the ability of Mr. Crumpacker and the value of his services of the insular affairs committee. Mr. Taft is a great admirer of Judge Crumpacker, and it is predicted by those who claim to know that when Mr. Taft becomes president, the Tenth district congressman will be the leader of Indiana in national politics. In labor legislation Mr. Crumpacker has always worked and voted for measures calculated to promote the interests of labor. A3 chairman of the census committee he reported and secured the passage of a law requiring the director of the census to gather statistics with the idea of ascertaining the condition of women and children in the industries, so that proper corrective legislation might be enacted where needed. He aided in shaping and passing the child labor law- for the District of Columbia. He took a prominent part in perfecting the employers' liability act and the law making the government liability to employes for injuries incurred while engaged in
government work. He assisted in framing the law providing for an investigation of mine disasters with a view of legislation for the better protection of men engaged in mines. He has voted for every item of legisla
tion in which labor was interested that has come before the house since he
has been a member. Some years ago he appeared before the secretary nf
the navy with a delegation of mechanics from the navy yards at Washington and made a personal appeal for an increase of wages for those employes. TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO THE IRON MOULDERS' UNION OF WASHINGTON PASSED RESOLUTIONS ENDORSING JUDGE CRUMPACKER'S RECORD ON LABOR LEGISLATION IN CONGRESS AND COMMENDING HIM TO ALL LABOR UNIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. This endorsement came unsolicited. Mr. Crumpacker was actively identified with the preparation and passage of the immigration and naturalization law, the meat inspection law, the pure food law. the railroad rate law, the anti-rebate law and the currency law, and the campaign contribution law. In the last session of congress he prepared and had charge of and secured the passage of a campaign publicity bill through the house, which failed to pass the senate at the last session only because of the determined opposition of the democratic senators. A reference to the congressional record shows that Mr. Crumpacker has
taken a more active part in the legislation of the country than any other
member of congress from Indiana. He has been conspicuous in the consideration of every important public measure that has been before congress during the last ten years, and the record discloses that he has been
right on every proposition. In relation to- his record on legislation in behalf of his own district we can also ppint with pride. Since he has been in congress he has been constantly working for legislation tending to the development of northwestern Indiana. Through his efforts in congress the harbor at Michigan City has been made one of the finest lake harbors in the country. During his term of office he has secured appropriations from the government for that harbor to the extent of nearly a quarter of a million dollars. During the last few years he hat been unceasingly at work in behalf of harbors In Lake county, and recently secured a favorable report from the war department in relation to Indiana Harbor. The government is now pledged to take charge of and improve that harbor, and it will mean vastly more to the Calumet region than the people now appreciate. Mr. Crumpacker has now pending in congress a resolution providing for the survey of the Grand Calumet river from South Chicago to its In
diana mouth, with a view of making an inland harbor of the entire Calumet river. This project will give northwestern Indiana the greatest harbor facilities in the world. During Mr. Crumpacker's service in congress he has secured appropriations for public buildings at Hammond and Michigan City, and now has bills pending for Laporte and Valparaiso. He secured a substantial appropriation for the enlargement of the federal building at Lafayette. He succeeded in hving the annual appropriations of the government to the Purdue university increased from $20,000 to $80,000. On this initiation
and through his efforts the Soldiers' Home at Lafayette is saving over
$8,000 a year in its accounts with the government.
In pension legislation he has taken an active part. He has supported every measure introduced for the benefit of the old soldiers. He has a bill now pending increasing the pensions of soldiers who are unable to prove their disabilities are due to their army service. During the last two
years he has aided in securing the allowance of over fifteen thousand pen sion applications, and has secured the passage through congress of nu
merous private pension bills for unfortunate veterans who could not make
the necessary proof in the department. No veteran ever writes him that
he does not get a prompt reply, and the best assistance that Mr. Crum
packer can give.
During the last eight years Mr. Crumpacker has been instrumental in
securing the establishment of practically complete rural delivery service
in the Tenth district, giving to every farmer the advantages of urban rest dence as far as mailing facilities is concerned.
Surely, if faithful and efficient service is any argument for continuing a person in office, no people ever had so good a reason for any act, as the
people of the Tenth district have retaining Mr.. Crumpacker in congress
When a constituent calls upon him to render a public duty, MR. CRUM
PACKER NEVER INQUIRES HIS POLITICS. He serves all the people
and all sections of his district to the best of his ability. He has been in congress long enough to have become one of the leaders in that body, and this part of Indiana cannot be properly represented in the future except by a man who is a leader. MR. CRUMPACKER HAS EARNED THE GRATITUDE AND EARNEST SUPPORT OF ALL THE PEOPLE OF
THIS PART OF INDIANA, REGARDLESS OF POLITICS.
WE FEEL THAT despite the efforts of Mr. Gompers and other democrats who seek to influence the laboring man to vote for Mr. Bryan that he
will feel inclined to vote for his bread and butter.
YOUR HUSBAND. MADAM. Says a writer who has traveled mueji: 'The American husband Is the be3t husband in the world." Which is true, as every one who is well informed 'knows. There are exceptions, of course. But, all in all, your husband is a type of
the best husband extant. As hreadwinner, protector, generous in motive and stanch in character, the American husband is to his wife and family "as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land." Is he fully appreciated? Advice to husbands is common enough. And tbe plaint of Unappreciated wives" is exploited by manx writers. What of 'unappreciated husbands?
Some wives are so wholly swallowed
op by their own grievances they ran
find no sympathy lor a husband. They
sigh over their ""humdrum lot.
Dear Mrs. .: I am not unmindful of your traits
as mother and housekeeper. But
If your husband is honest, industri
ous, clean minded, if he does his best, you have THE GREATEST GIFT THE GODS CAN GIVE.
The good husband gives himself
without stint and freely. When the family bills are paid he has little to spend for himself. If the wife and
kids are grateful and kind he does cot
mind the labor or the sacrifice!
But When be has done his utmost, if lie
goes without appreciation, if there is ingratltndeif, worse than all. there
Is tbe reproachful bint that he might
have done better then God pity that
husband!
Tour man, my dear woman, has the
same soul stuff in him that is In yon
He may be nigger, stronger physically, hut his feelings are just as keen as
yours.
Now
He finds it an easy task to do and
dare for those he loves as you 4o.
But if he misses their appreciation like you he misses all that life "holds
for him.
Madam
If you have in your husband a pure
and manly spirit who makes himself a
shield against "tbe slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune, bend your soul
in thankfulness to God and your hus
band
THE MAN WHO coc Elders a bet an argument is stretching his reasoning

man Nicholas Longworth denied emphatically that he had been ordered to leave the stump. He said: "I had arranged to leave the Sherman party at Evansville a week ago to go to Pittsburg, where I have an engagement of long standing to speak at the sesquicentennlal celebration there. There is no truth in this rumor that I am to quit the stump. On the contrary, I expect to appear frequently from time to time until the close of the campaign."
