Assessor CHARLES E. POTTER. MR. JOHN WORTH KERN, OF INDIANA. The nomination by the democratic national convention of John Worth Kern, of Indiana, to be second man on the Bryan ticket, gives rise to some observations that interest the student of human nature because they are just what can always be expected. John W. Kern Is well known In Richmond; his friends have been many among both the democrats and republicans, but1, now that his distinctions have been recognized and he has been hon ored by his party, there are many who Bay with a grunt of surprise, "Pshaw; Kern isn't vice-presidential timber. Why, I've known him for years!" The general public is apt to believe but the "student" merely nods his head and reflects. . ' " Almost any man thinks that his next door neighbor doesn't amount to much. If this point is considered deeply, it will be found to hold good and when the democrats chose Kern, whom everyone knows is a man noted for his honesty, legal ability and steadfastness of purpose, the little 1m pressions are remembered and the ones that count forgotten. Not that Mr. Kern has a chance to be elected! Indiana knows that his qualities commend him to the place, but with Mr. Bryan on the ticket he has no chance , at all. One of Mr, Kern'a close friends wrote a note to the nominee saying, "No one can extend more hearty congratulations and with more sincere motives than I. But John, you are on the wrong ticket and you can't be elected.' That Is the view that the hundreds ,f republican friends of John W. Kern are taking of his nomination. It shows their loyalty to their friend but at the same time their patriotic scruples in refusing to vote for the presidential

nominee of the democrats. Mr. Kern is not a "little" man. He is fully up

to the standard of the remainder of the democratic presidential timber. THE OPEN AIR CHURCH. A highly commendable course is being pursued by the ministers of Richmond in the establishment and maintenance of the public open-air Sunday afternoon church services held weekly in one or another of the city parks. Indianapolis has come into line and is behind a similar movement for that city during the warm season. The success of the undertaking in Richmond Is attested by the large attendance. For the average laboring man, Sun day means a day of recreation and especially in the summer, when he is only too glad to exchange the stifling air of 6hop or office for the free and pure atmosphere of the out-of-doors. Inside the church it is warm; the natural temples of God offer a cooler re treat and it is in this bower that the Christian man is sought by the minis ters. It Is a helpful work. Each week, one of the clergymen of the city will devote Sunday afternoon to this work. It means a sacrifice, but it Is undertaken nobly and the public appreciates it. The services are not for "slums" or for any class in particular. Richmond is happily without "slums"; happily without classes, in fact. The Sunday afternoon sermon and its short accompani ment of devotional music is for all the people and the ministers are deserving of hearty approval. Harry Thaw is spending his time in jail reading European history. If Harry had only lived in those days, what a "pal" he would have made for King Henry the Eighth. Looks as if Roosevelt will get more out of this lion hunt story than he did out of the presidency. A reputation Is not always a dangerous thing. There were only three women sus pected of being Mrs. Gunness arrested last week. We all knew that story would be getting old sometime. No wonder the democrats chose Kern after the Gassaway Davis millionaire refused to loosen up. A poor man looks better on the ticket. To date, according to the newspa pers, Taft, Sherman, Bryan and Kern, have been "visibly affected" by certain news. Anymore, please. , Too bad that the Socialist-Labor nominee for the Presidency Is serving He might have polled some of Bryan's votes. The "temperance" near-beer drink ers are singing, "We don't know what there's in it, but it does the work." Denver declares it is tired. Small wonder, for a host must always approve the actions of the guests. Anyway, Gray and Johnson got to read a lot of nice things that were said about them out .in Denver. They have the "graft" fever up in New Castle. Better telegraph to San Francisco for an antidote. The nation appreciates Mr. Bryan's assurance that he will not be a candidate for re-election. We may now expect to hear of the Rettig and Johnson fire sale. I The Hobson "guff" is not so popular as the Hobson kiss. ALPENA STONE PLANT WILL COST MILLIONS Two Thousand Acres to Made Into Quarries. Be Alpena. Mich.. July 11. The United States corporation has awarded contracts for the machinery to convert its 2,000 acres of stone land north of Alpena, Michigan, into quarries. Im mense docks will be built to permit the loading of vessels transnortine the stone to Gary, Ind. The cost of the plant at Alpena will reach several million dollars. WILL COMMENCE WORK ON NEW BATTLESHIP The "Florida," 20,000 Tons, To Be Built at New York Navy Yard. Washington, July 11. Work on the new 20,000 ton battleship Florida, to be built at the New York Navy Yard probably will be begun about the middle of the summer. The plans will be similar to those of the two ships now building, the North Dakota and Qulncy, Mass.. and the Delaware, at Newport News, Va. The Florida will be slightly longer than either of these battleships and will be fitted as a flagship. While the board of construction has not decided definitely on the type of engines for the Florida she probably will be equipped with Parsons turbines. The North Dakota, building at Quincy, will have Curtis turbines, the Delaware.' under con struction at Newport News, will have reciprocating engines.

IMMIGRATION MS INCREASED CRIME

Mrs. John A. Logan Declares Unwholesome Foreign Population Is Injurious. FORMRELY HOMESEEKERS. EARLIER WANDERERS FROM THE OLD WORLD CAME TO AMERICA TO BUY FARMS AND SETTLE UPON THEIR OWN LAND. By Mrs. John A. Logan. Washington, June 11. The census proves that criminality has steadily increased in the United States since 1880 and that a large per cent, of this increase may be attributed to the astonishing increase in immigration. In the old days when the immigration to the United States was from the industrial and simple peasantry of the Old World, no such unfavorable conditions was the result of the multiplication of our population, probably because the majority of them were seeking lands upon which to establish homes for their families. They applied themselves assiduously to the cultivation of the soil, the abundant returns rewarding them for their faithfulness. They were satisfied, thrifty, and useful citizens of the New World. But with the development of the great resources of the country and the rapid multiplicity of railroads and other means of transportation, together with the frequent communication with the Old World, has brought In their train hordes of idle, vicious, revolutionary and shiftless people who do not come to the United States to make permanent homes, but to engage in the labor necessary to the carrying out of some great enterprise from which they derive high wages. On the completion of the work they return to the Old World to be revolutionists in their own lands as they have been in the United States. Many of them have not taken any advantage of the privileges that are extended to all men through the generosity of the government or the liberality of their employes, but have been dissatisfied, ripe for every conspiracy and active in the most lawful proceedings against capital and the government. To expect to reform these people is almost a hopeless task, and yet, a majority of the citizens of this Republic believe that in the future they will be brought to respect law and order and conform to the manners and customs of the Republic. While the country is making marvelous progress in its extension of civilization and Christianity, it has much yet to do to change the conditions of the ignorant and indigent. Perhaps one of the most effective measures to accomplish this would be to organize and carry out some plan by which the idle, vicious class could be induced to adopt agricultural employment. If the millionaires of the country would put as much money into a colonization scheme that would enable these people to establish homes on the land as they do for homes for the homeless, hospitals, asylums, poorhouses, and places that house paujiers and criminals, we should find that much more could be accomplished and these creatures could be saved for usefulness and good citizenship. In a way, the Salvation Army and some enterprising individuals have done much, but the necessity for money with which to carry this out has prevented this remedy from being adopted to as large an extent as it should be. The aggregating of great numbers of persons in the cities who speak foreign languages and expecting them to live together in peace and harmony is a great mistake. They are constantly misunderstanding rules and regulations of municipal, state, and United States authority. They become jealous of each other and are so addicted to dissipation that they are constantly engaging in conflicts that terminate in tragedies. Any attempt to force them to obey the laws is resented and consequently they bring upon themselves the severest penalties of the law. Revenge seizes them as being their only resort for securing what they deem their rights or being satisfied for the wrongs which they think have been inflicted upon them. Isolation from temptation, fresh air, healthful occupations, proper food, and a conservative government would do more for the ignorant emigrants and natives than anything else that could possibly be done. Little can ever be accomplished in the great cities where vice is always before them and where immorality and dissipation run riot in persons. It may be a long time before anything of this kind is done," but if we examine closely the cause of our greatness, we will find that it originated with the tillers of the soil.

USE NEW BALLAST

Illinois Central Finds Gravel And Sand Mixture Works To Good Advantage. IT WILL SAVE MILLIONS. Memphis, July 11 Millions of dollars will be saved annually in cost of operation by the Illinois Central by the method it has adopted for obtaining ballast of a highly superior quality from the bed of the Mississippi. By means of dredges especially constructed for the purpose the company is taking from the bed of the river at Memphis between l.lXiO and 1.500 cubic yards of gravel ballast every 24 hours. Thus far more than 200,Oi0 cubic yards of pebbles have been sucked from the depths of the river and transferred to approximately miles of Illinois Central track between Memphis and Vicksburg. With the river pebbles, which have been washed by the waters is mixed about "5 per cent of ordinary sand, the mixture producing the finest ballast yet discovered and is practically dustless. SEE NO HOPE IN NAMING OE BRYAN All Hearst Papers in Stinging Editorial Repudiate the Nebraskan. CONFIDENCE IS LOST. DEMOCRATS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY DO NOT CONSIDER BRYAN AND ' HIS PARTY AS THEY FORMERLY DID. New York, July 11 All the Hearst papers in New York, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco today print the following editorial repudiation of Mr. Bryan : "For the third time William J. Bryan has been nominated by the demo cratic party or rather by that frag ment of former efficiency which is called the democratic party. We have lost confidence in the democratic par ty, as millions of other democrats have done. We can not see in thia nomination any hope. "We are bound to add with regret. that we have lost confidence also in William J. Bryan, who, by well man ipulated bosslsm, has compelled this nomination. "It is a fact that people of the country have absolutely nothing to say in regard to the nomination or the platform of either of the two lead ing parties. The platform of the republican party is a compromise be tween Roosevelt and the trusts, from which campaign funds must be obtained. The platform adopted by the democratic party is nothing but a compromise between the absolute will of Bryan and that willingness on Bryan's part to dicker with his own principles recently made known to the public. No Reliance on Bryan. "No reliance can be placed on the democratic platform or on Bryan's declarations. The democratic platform declares for one set of principles at one election and for an entirely different set at the next election, while Bryan is apparently without permanent principle or sincere conviction, or even honest attitude. "A note is a promise to pay. It is valuable according to who makes it and who indorses it. A platform is a promise to perform and a platform made by the democratic party and indorsed by Mr. Bryan is not worth the paper it is written on. "The democratic party has become weathercock of what its inferior leaders imagine to be the expression of public opinion. "It reflects supinely the corporation instinct and servility of a Park er, and it Is ready at the next moment to reflect the half-baked, ill-matured opinions of some imaginary radical. "The people would accept today, as they have accepted in the past, the republicanism of Lincoln or the democracy of Jefferson. "But the republicanism of Taft, with its shifting, its compromises, its opportunism, is not, the republicanism of Lincoln. Not Democracy of Jefferson. "And the democracy of Bryan and Taggart and the others, with its changing principles, its shifting platform, and its chameleon candidates, is not the democracy of Jefferson, who wrote the declaration of independence, who lived by his principles and stood by them. "The democracy of Jefferson, the republicanism of Lincoln, would have represented the -needs of the nation today, for the democracy of Jefferson and the republicanism of Lincoln were identical in that they sought to serve the real interests of the people. "But in this modern republicanism so called, and in this modern, decayed democracy, is neither the spirit of Lincoln nor of Jefferson. In them there is no hope for the people, who demand a representative party breathing the spirit which animated Jefferson's democracy and Lincoln's republicanism." Th Swnrfco Of Lift.

THIS MAN HAS MANY JOBS TO LOOK AFTER

Elliott Woods, Superintendent Of Capitol Grounds, At tends to "Everything. A STORY ON "UNCLE JOE." WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT RELATES HOW THE REPUBLICAN WHEEL-HORSE CHANCED TO SETTLE IN DANVILLE, ILLS. By Ralph M. Whiteside. Washington, July 11. While all eyes and all thoughts were recently turned toward the conventions and th2 presidential campaign there was one man in Washington who was busy with other matters of import. He i3 Elliott Woods, superintendent of the capitol building and grounds. He is the busiest man in Washington during the summer. Mr. Woods has. on conservative estimate, thirteen jobs, and he holds four offices. When he Is about to begin his day's work he figures out the time he must allot to each of many duties. "Let's see." he ruminates, "where will we start this morning?" Then he counts over his ten fingers, assigning some bit of work to each one and starts over again. Mr. Wood is In charge of the completion of the House office building and the senate office building and he belongs to all the commissions of the last session of congress appointed to look after the construction of monuments and memorials. One of his commission duties embraces drawing up plans for the Lincoln memorial. He must also look after plans for the new buildings of justice, state, commerce and labor, and finishing the pediment of the west wing of the ccpitol. An underground railv ay is to be installed to operate betveen the capitol and the lawmakers' new offices. Woods must look after this. He has the deciding vote in what sort of a contrivance shall be installed so that members of the house, seated in their offices, can take a receiver off the hook and hear what is going on in the house. The grass on the capitol grounds must be kept well trimmed. Woods' employes must look after this, and somebody must look after the employes. All improvements in the capitol building also come under this busy man's jurisdiction. 4 Woods has plenty of energy After drinking a cup of coffee he never eats any breakfast he jumps into hi3 automobile, makes a dash for the capitol building, and stops at one of his offices. Hero he listens to all complaints and all requests, ana then rushes to his den in the white house. From there he goes to his office in the senate office building, then to the house office building and finally to the main office in the capitol building. The rest of the day is put in tryin to work and keep appointments at the same time as well as to attend meetings to discuss different branches of work being done under the supervis ion of his eagle eye. His automobile is a great time saver, for it enables him to rush to all part3 of the city. If he drove a horse Instead, he would kill the animal in a short time. Woods is not satisfied with the amount of work he has to do. As a relief, he rigged up a wireles3 telegraph apparatus on top of the hill and he generally spends a little time there every day. He sends jocose messages to battleships far out at sea and catches messages intended for other instruments than the one he is workingv After tiring of this, the underworked man sits down at a piano and composes a little music. Elliott Wood is six feet tall. He weighs as much as a man his height should weigh. He never becomes tired. Many stories have been told about how Uncle Joe Cannon, speaker of the house, began his career. One of the favorite yarns in Washington is the following: Joe Cannon boarded a train somewhere down east and traveled as far as his car fare lasted. When near Danville, 111., the conductor asked for more money. "Haven't a dime," replied Cannon. "Guess you'll have to get off then," replied the conductor. "Just as well get off here as anywhere else, I suppose," said Cannon. That's how he came to alight near the town of Danville. He went to a boarding house and, after a display of logic, managed to run up a fairly goodfcized bill. At -that time there was a fight on to decide the county seat. Danville won out and Joe decided to travel in that direction. He sought his boarding house keeper. "I owe you quite a bill, he said. "Don't know it any better than I do," replied the landlord. "Havent a cent," said Cannon. "You look it," was the unsympathetic reply. "Have some prospect over in Danville. I'll pay you when I make good." "All right." "Can't get to Danville, though. Haven't the fare. Lend me two dollars." "Good mpney after bad. said the landlord. "Well, your nerve deserves it. Here's five dollars. That's how Joe Cannon came to settle in Danville. The five dollar bill was the basis for his success, both financially and politically. Tariff revision, the biggest piece of work in the routine of government, is having its foundations laid this sum-

Feeding Human Stoves in Hot Weather Meat produces heat. It is all right in winter, but the more you eat now the more you will feel the hot weather. These are Mapl-Flake days. Here you get the maximum nourishment and the minimum heat.

A gTeat deal of food, as you know, goes toward producing heat. Fat foods are heating; lean meat is heating. But whole wheat is not. At least one meal a day, in this weather, should consist solely of Mapl-Flake and fruit. Don't expect other cereal foods to take the place of Mapl-Flake, for they cannot. Mapl-Flake is the one food that's all food, because it all digests. We spend 96 hours in preparing it four times as long as we need spend.

Mapl-Flake The Food with the Maple Flavor

We shall always have food fads that last for a little time. But wheat in this form is enduring. There will never be a better food prepared in a better way. Never a food more enticing, for we cook MaplFlake in pure maple syrup. Children will beg for it after they get it once. Please serve it to-morrow morning. Telephone your grocer now. You surely want to serve the food that children

like best, when it s the best food ior mer and the builders are going about J their work in a most careful manner. A number of meetings will be held in this city during July lor the purpose of obtaining expressions of opinion from business and commercial men as to what branches of the tariff need first attention. To make the plan more certain, representatives are sending out notices to their constituents so that, if special representation is necessary, they can have their experts in Washington when the meetings are Tieia. It Is thought that an extra session will be called immediately after March 4 next. The make-up of the committee will be about the same in next congress, consequently whatever is done during the summer will have an important bearing on float action. It is pretty generally conceded that, if the question could be dodged with safety to the republican party, the dodging would be done, but so many promises have been made and the demand for revision has become so general that the House is coming to accept the necessity for changing the schedules. NEW LADING BILL Approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission, Saturday. MUCH MORE SATISFACTORY Washington, July 11. A nw uniform bill of lading, designed as a substitute for the bills now ;n use, for the movement of miscellaneous freight and general merchandise was today approved and its adoption recommended to the common carriers of the country and the shipping public by the Interstate Commerce Commission. It provides two forms, printed on the face side in different colors, one for "straight" and one for "order" consignments. The "order" bill will possess a certain defjree of negotiability while the "straight" bill will be nonnegotiable. The "order" bill must be surrendered upon delivery of the property to the consignees. This plan is expected to meet largely the requirements of the banking concerns of the country which advance vast sums of money upon bills of lading. The changes have all been in th3 direction of greater simplicity in the interest of the shipping public. The bill is more or less a compromise. It Imposes important obligations which carriers have not here tofore assumed , but retains exemptions to which some shippers may object. May Be AKered If Necessary. The commission believes the bill is the best adjustment practicable of a long standing controversy which affects the business interests of the country. The commission expressly retains the right to exercise its corrective authority as to any provisions of the new bill, which under test of experience may be found proper. The commission does not undertake to prescribe the bill of lading because it is convinced such action would exceed Its authority. It is under stood, however, that . the new bill will be adopted by all the railroads in the official classification territory. The commission recommends that the new bill be adopted generally on September 1, next The bill is not Intended to take the place of bills now in use in connection with certain particular commodities, such as live stock and perhaps perishable property. The new bill is the outgrowth of complaints made in 1904 by numerous shippers and commercial organizations. Scsajr: For Peer's appetite trr twOrtrur. jxnrder Maculta mads ot Gold Medal Flour. Mm.
