- KERN AND HIS "EXALTATION."
John W. Kern, at a meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial asso
ciation, at Tom Taggarfs French Lick Hotel yesterday, said: "My plan of campaign will be carried forward according to my own Judgment, and at no stage of the contest will I permit It to be fashioned In any degree by the republican newspapers of In. diana, no matter how exalted tho source from which they draw their inspiration." Kern is candidate for United States senator again. When he-wa candidate before and beaten by Shively, he said: "Forty-five democratic member of the legislature openly gave me pledges of their support their constituents required it. Forty, two votes were all I needed. When I seemed sure of the nomina. tlon the brewers suddenly manifested a lively Interest In the situation. It was proposed that the demoorats, meeting In caucus, cast a secret ballot. I understood what that meant pledged members of the legislature could vote for the brewer's candidate, whoever he happened to be, and no one would know It. EIGHT MEN WERE PURCHASED, AND THE SECRET BALLOT WENT THROUGH. I RECEIVED THIRTY-SIX VOTES AND BENJAMIN F. SHIVELY, ATTORNEY FOR THE BREWERS, WAS NOMINATED. And yet there are forty-four men who will make affidavit today that they
gave me their support. I cannot prove bribery on anyone think I know the names of eight men who were bought up.''
The republican newspapers of Indiana, Mr. Kern, notify you that YOU, vnnpfiFLP w the "exalted" inspiration from which they draw their
inspiration. You charged that eight votes were BOUGHT for Shively. That's all we have to say.

BACK TO THE HOARY PAST. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad in the moving of its yards from South Chicago to Miller, and the rehabilitation of ita system, westward, shows conclusively that the old railroad, which has laid practically dormant for forty years in Lake county, has awakened t othe fact that the cities of the steel belt present a greater field for industrial activity in the way of railroad traffic than any other section west of the Ohio river. No more will we hear the acho of the engine bell of the B. & O. milk thinkling across Lake county. That time honored carrier of the lacteal product which has choochooed back and forth for fifty years between Suman, Bremen, Whiting and South Chicago, is to be shoved back into the hoary and cob-webbed past No more will the hlue-overaJled and bewhiskered natives flock to the station to see the train turn around. They will have to seek other diversions for first fliers are going to stop in Lake county and take the place of the institution which was old when Crown Point was a howling wilderness and the slow Erie railroad was a thing yet to he born. Who, of the old settlers, ywill not keep in his memory, recollections of the only B. & O. train that stopped in this great and glorious country? When it passed Edgemore it gave seven sonorous snorts and by the time it reached Sooth Chicago the crew was ready for bed. Native of Miller, who have marked the time of the day by the coming and going of the old milk train, will now have to buy alarm clocks and toe-ticklers. In a little while the music of the ding-dong bell sleepily reverberating over the sand dunes will be a thing of the past. After a half a hundred years, the B. & O. has woke up, and fast trains which will frighten away the cattle eating along the moss covered rails are now to stop in Gary, Hammond and East Chicago. Yes, the good old days are fast going.

GARY'S SANE FOURTH.
Like she does in everything else, Gary Is establishing a precedent among Indiana cities by providing for a sane Fourth. At first this sounds rather unusual as emanating from a city that has in the past had some Fourth of July celebrations in April, December or some other unseemly time of the pear. Gary has grown out of her old days and the pistol play that accenuited life in her south end a few years ago, has disappeared with the passing of the old order. Last year, and In 1908, Gary was a little too patriotic, for when the day was over several citizens were under the care of surgeons probing for bullets fcr bullets. But such is the case in any American city in July Fourth. This year it's going to be different. Stringent ordinances will throw a damper on the promlscous discharge of fire-arms and explosives. In its place money appropriated by the city council, together with the contribu
tions of business men will make the Independence Day anniversary one to f
be remembered. There will be all the noise of San Juan Hill without its dangers. When old Sol arises he will be saluted by cannon volleys and when he sets he will be accorded by the same honors. During the day there will be a parade and when the moon appears fireworks gaore will soar in the heavens and makes the reflections from the steel plant look like a coal oil lamp placed alongside a Wabash railway headlight.
PLAY BALL. Once more has the Indiana Harbor baseball team reorganized. This time on what appears to be a reasonably stable basis. Atfter all the bickering, and squabbling, Indiana Harbor fans may now draw a long breath, and settle down to the possibility of good ball. With all "past differences settled," it Is to be hoped that no more will crop np to mar the peace and harmony of the remainder of the season. The Indiana Harbor boys have had bickerings enough for one season. Starting the season under the ill omen of Internal disaffection, and external disappro
bation, it could not have been expected that the team would play up to its past record. The Indiana Harbor organization has earned the reputation of one of the best and gamest baseball aggregations, the Calumet region had ever boasted. The team was Bet apart from the majority of the balance of Its confreres, because It could be beaten fairly without whining. It could beat fairly, too, moreover, and did its share along this line. Having reorganized, and buried the hatchet, o far as Its own members are concerned, having acquired a number of new players who give excellent promise of god service, for the love of Jerucius Spots boys, fall to, and give ua some ball.

re You Getting What Is
Due You? Among Investment Securities Generally Recognized as Conservative, the 8 Stock of the American Telephone & Telegraph Comapny Stands at the Very Top V Why are certain securities on the Stock Exchange List regarded as conservative for investment purposes? Because they give the highest returns possible consistent with safety to the investor. In any investment there are two things to consider the rate of interest and the degree of safety. Generally speaking, the lower the rate of interest the higher the degree of safety, and vice versa. Beyond a certain point in returns, investing ends and speculating begins. Investing assures reasonable profit with minimum risk. Speculating promises larger profits but entails greater risk. If you cannot, afford to lose, you will do well to choose for investment those securities whose perfect combination of profit and safety entitle them to be classed as "conservative."
