TO: flEWAIIl THE COUTEST TO LAUD A TOGA That $10,000 Job as a Corporation Attorney, Which Taggart Offered to Him, Is Not to Be Accepted. BREWERS HAVE IT IN FOR THE CANDIDATE eMassssssssss Still Sore Over' the Charges He Made Against Them Be fore He Became the Demo cratic Nominee. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, July 18. John W. Kern Is not coins to accept that fat Job with a corporation at a salary Tar lously stated at from $10,000 to $15, 000 a year, which, so the story goes, Tom Tan sit got for him and offered to him. Kern prefers to remain In the race for United States senator. and It Is (Wen oat that ha will stay until the finish la the hope that he may be able to win out. As was stated fa these dispatches several days ago, there was a report to the effect that Taggart and the brewers, whom he represents In politics, wanted to get Kern out of the race. They do not Ilka Kern politically for a good many reasons, the main reason being that Kara charged that ha was defeated for senator two years ago by the brew ers, who, ha says, used their Influ ence to take eight democratic mem bers of the legislature away from him after they had promised to rote for him. Ther Toted for and nominated and elected Senator Shlveljr. and er erybody In Indiana Mnowa that ever since then Kern has been shooting it Into the brewers for carrying out what ha has designated as a beautiful doable cross. Aroused the Brewers. This charge has aroused the brew ers. They dldnt want Kern nomln.ated for senator this year, either, and Taggart himself went Into the race for the nomination as a candidate In the hope that Kern could be defeat ed. Taggart did not do very well in the state contention. He managed to get the 183 rotes of Marlon county and 40 rotes outside of Marlon coun ty out of a total of 1,745 rotes in the convention. His showing was so poor that ha finally withdrew, along with the rest of the candidates and left the road clear for the nomination of Kern. How next to get rid of Kern was the Question, and It is said that Tag gart and the brewers set about to hatch up a plan. Finally Taggart landed an engagement for Kern as attor ney tor a Urge corporation, the nature or name of which is not known, and It Is said now that the salary attached to It was $15,000 a year. This, it is said, was offered to Kern, as was stated several days ago, but Kern did not encourage the Idea. Talka With Governor. Several days ago Kern had a long conference with Governor Marshall at the letter's office, and while neither man will tell what passed between them It is believed to be certain that they discussed the proposition which Taggart had made to get Kern out of the race. If they did discuss this mat ter it is a cinch that the governor adYtsed Kern to turn down the offer and MBS FHebbLyclhRPk!; Hudson, Ohio.

remain in the race for senator.;' Kern! was nominated by Governor Marshall.

The rery fact that the democratic state convention decided to nominate a candidate for senator made Kern's nomination 'possible, and this plan was proposed and fought through by Governor Marshall. It waatbe governor's plan. If the convention bad refused to accept this plan and had left It to the democratic legislative caucus next winter to name the sena tor It is more than likely that Taggart would have been the democratic candidate, for he will surely control the democratic side of the legislature next winter. Therefore, It would be only natural for the governor to feel that since he had nominated Kern and dragged him Into the race It Is up to him to keep him in the race and to elect him if possible. For Kern to withdraw from the fight at this time would be a di rect slap at the governor and a play Into the hands of Taggart and the brewers. And it is said now that as result of the conference with the governor Kern will not withdraw. May Do Him Good. Some of the Kern followers have been saying that the agitation to get Kern to withdraw from the race would do him more good than harm, because it was apparent that the effort was traceable to the brewers and that this would draw to Kern many temperance republicans, who would feel that they ought to vote to elect him because the brewers do not want him. This, however, seems to be a far-fetched theory. The temperance republicans will remember that Kern can only be elected senator in case the legislature is controlled by the democrats. The repub lican members will not vote for Kern or any other democrat. Any democratic legislature that would elect Kern senator, would also repeal the county local option law, because the democratic state platform this year declares emphatically for Its repeal. Under these circumstances, any re publican that rotes to elect Kern will also rote to repeal the local option law, and It is not believed that the roters who roted the saloons out of a county under the county option law will be willing to undo what they did in that direction, merely because some of the democrats want them to. Such a result would be playing square ly into the hands of the brewers and the Hcuor element There seems to be a little doubt that the temperance question is going to become one of the leading, if not the leading, issue in the Indiana state campaign, whether anyone wants It or not; Things are shaping around in that direction. It is pointed out that the issue has been squarely raised by the democratic platform declaration In favor of repealing the county option law. and that the issue must be met by the temperance people. This being the case, the. rery fact that since the county option law went into effect more than three-fourths of Indiana has been roted dry makes it look like a certainty that the people will not rote to elect a democratic legislature which would be bound by its platform to re peal the law and throw the state open to the saloons and the brewers once more. Some of. the leading republi cans of the state, while expressing the wish that the temperance question be kept out of politics, are nevertheless saying that it is in and that it must be met and settled. Are After Roosevelt. There is still a hope that Theodore Roosevelt may be induced to make more than one speech in Indiana this fall. Republican State Chairman Lee will go to Oyster Bay soon to lay the matter before the Colonel. It will be suggested to him that he ought to speak at several points in the state, and that a special train would be pro vided for him which would enable him to reach a great many places where he could speak from the rear platform of his car. There seems to be little chance, however, that this will be done because the demand for speeches by Roosevelt has far overreached his ability to make them, and he will probably insist that he ought to go into as many states as possible. It is understood, slso that his Indiana speech will not be a radical insurgent speech. As was pointed out before in these dispatches, there is much re publican campaign material, for his speech without saying much about the tariff. It is the belief, therefore. that he will come to Indiana as a harmonlzer rather than as an insurgent orator. A strong effort is being made, too, to induce. Senator Beveridge to put the soft pedal on his tariff speeches, but the senator believes he is right and that the people of the state are with him. and it is not believed that he will back-up an inch from the advanced position which he has taken on the question. , It is said that James E. Watson will devote most of his time during the campaign to making speeches in a general campaign throughout the country, under the auspices of the re publican congressional committee, and that his Indiana speeches will probab ly be confined to the Tenth and Sixth districts, although he may also speak in the Fifth, Eighth and Eleventh dis tricts. He has been invited by the candidates on the state ticket to make a number of speeches. What Landle Thinks. Charles B. Landls. former congress man from the Ninth district, was in the city a day or two ago. and said that he believed the republicans would carry that district this year and elect E. E. Neal, congressman. He has made a thorough investigation of con ditlons in the district and believes the party Is in good shape. He will make campaign speeches in Indiana, and it is said also that his brother Fred Landls. former congressman from the Eleventh district, also will take the stump. Fred Landis is one of the best campaign speakers in Indiana. Warren Bigler. of Wabash, former state auditor, and one of the leading repuDiicans or tbe Eleventh district, says that all of tbe old factional troubles in that district have been wiped out and that the republicans are almost certain to carry the district and elect John L. Thompson con gressman over Congressman Rauch. Mr. Bigler says the Eleventh is in the

THE PIONEER UNIONIST. ssaeassBSBSssssssa Rough Read Traveled by the Founders of the Labor Movement. Oh. how ' many there were, whose names are forgotten, who suffered untold agoniea to lay the foundation of the labor movement.' of whose real mission they had but the vaguest conception! These pioneers of progress pared the way for us and deserve far more at our hands than we hare in our power to do for them. We must at best res: cue their nameless memory from the darkness of oblivion, and this we undertake to do with tbe liveliest sense of obligation for the service they rendered and tbe sacrifices they made in the early and trying stages of the struggle to improve the condition and advance the welfare of their fellow tollers. The writer has met and known some of these untitled agitators of tbe earlier days, whose hearts were set on organizing their trade, 'or at least their branch of it. and who bad tbe courage to undertake tbe task aad accept all tbe bitter consequences It Imposed. The union men of today have little or no conception of what the pioneer unionists had to contend with when they first started forth on their mission of organization. The organizer of the present time has te face difficulties enough, it is true; but, as a rule, the road has at least been broken for his approaching footsteps tbe union has already been organized, and a commit tee meets him at tbe station and es corts him te the hotel. ' Far different was it with, the pioneer who left home "without scrip in his purse," whose chief stock consisted in his ability to "screw his courage to the sticking point" and whom privation and hardship only consecrated more completely to his self appointed martyrdom. Starting out, more than likely, after having been discharged for organizing a local union of bis craft or for serving on a committee or interceding for a fellow or "talking back" to the boss or any other of the numerous acts which mark tbe conduct of the manly worker, distinguishing him from his weak and fawning brother and bringing upon him tbe reprobation of his master starting out to organize his fellow workers, that they might fare better than fell to his lot. he faced the world without a friend to bid bim welcome or cheer him onward. Haring no money for railroad fare, be must beat his wsy. But such a slight lnconrenience does not deter him an instant. Reaching his destination, be brushes up as well ss his scanty toilet will allow and then proceeds with due caution to look up "the boys." careful to elude tbe vigilance of the boss, who has no earthly use for a worthless labor agitator. We shall not attempt to follow our pioneer through all his tortuous windings, nor have we space to more ttian hint at tbe story of his cruel persecution and pathetic end. Our pioneer leavlug home in many an instance never suw wife and child again. Repulsed by the very men he was hungering to serve, penniless, deserted, neglected and alone, he became "the poor wanderer of a stormy day" and ended his career a nameless outcast. Whatever his frailties and faults, they were virtues all. for they marked the generous heart, tbe sympathetic soul who loves his brother snd ac cepts for himself the bitter portion of suffering and shame that he may serve his fellow man. Tbe labor movement is his monument, and. though his name is not inscribed upon It, bis soul is In it and with it marches on forever. Eugene V. Debs. Death Toll of Factories. The coming report of tbe federal commission on immigration, which has been investigating factory conditions In America, will make one of tbe greatest sensations of years, said Congressman William S. Bennet of New York In an address before tbe labor meeting held at Atlantic City under the auspices of tbe department of church and labor of the Presbyterian assembly. "The coming report of the Immigration commission will startle tbe world with its figures on tbe killing in American factories and especially nmong workers in factories which are unorganized and unable to force protective measures by employers." declared Congressman Bennet. who spoke on' "Tbe Conservation of National Life." Following his" address Congressman Bennet said he did not know whether the report would be made public before the elections next falL Lithographers Win Fight. , Tbe Boston Lithographers union bas received notification' that on Jan. 1 ot next year the elghtfbour workday will be established, attsil tbe shops of tbe members of " tbe national employers' association. That includes all the big plants hereabouts.' 'The men struck for the eight hour day in August. 1908. tjbe strike continuity until May.. 1907. A CLEAR COMPLEXION Cannot be had with cosmetics. They don't go deep enough. A clear skin, without blotches or pimples can be had only with -pure blood. Certainly a prescription that cures even the worst cases of blood disease, clears up eczema and scrofula and cures Inflammatory rheumatism and catarrh, will produce a rosy complexion. ' Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound has for forty years been known as the most powerful of all alteratives or blood purifiers. There has never been a case ot blood-poison (even syphilis) or skin disease that it could not cure. Thousands of women take it regularly to keep their blood healthy and their complexion clear. It Is purely vegetable and harmless. It was orglnally the prescription of Dr. A. B. Simpson, who was one of the most celebrated .physicians of the middle west.

- Patron izo the Label. The union label gives yon a chance to rote every day. Don't neglect It. If union members will not utilize their purchasing power to their own advantage they are responsible to themselves for all bad conditions of labor. Tbe worker who chooses to employ nonunion help by purchasing nonunion label goods is supporting tbe enemy and deserves no sympathy, no matter bow miserable his condition may be. . WHAT LABOK NEEDS. Chicago Minister Pleads For Bettor Conditions For Tailors. Frofessor George Bur man Foster vt tbe University of Chicago in tbe course of a recent sermon ut tbe Third Unitarian church. Chicago, made a plea for ' better surroundiugs for the laboring man. He said: "On every hand you bear the demand for social reform, and regular;; you hear the reply: 'First make tbe individual better. If men were better, brarer. more Industrious, these conditions would soon be better.' But the question remains: How are we to get this new and better man? What can be done about It? "Let tbe wage be such that the laborer can have a home of light and joy and sunshine In a decent locality. Let the laboring men's' women not have to go to factory and day's work outside, but hare time and strength to be women, mothers, wives and make cheerful homes. In this way we can help them to achieve an Inner life. . "Above all. we muy help tbe laborer to assume a different attitude ten his .work. So long as his work Is alien to him, so long as he works only for tbe sake of the wage. Just so long Is be a wage slave, and we cannot expect a slave to love bis slavery or to have joy in his work. Then, too, while labor organizations must be preserved and protected, they must add a new function, that of lending joy and nobility and skill to labor. "Thus do men become new men. It Is true that good men can grow In tbe worst surroundings. But that is God's business. Our business is to make tbe surroundings as healthy as possible. It does little good to talk to men about God and yet leave them in their wretched lot How can these men believe in God's wisdom and goodness In a world of ma in monism, heartless ness and cruel struggle for existence "In these United States we claim to hare tbe most living Christianity in the world, and yet five or six men. most of them zealous church members, kings In the kingdom of mammon, control the entire material wealth of the country." SWEATSHOP EVILS. Striking Exhibit of the Products of Child Labor. Evils of tbe sweatshop, of child labor and of tenement house "factories" are portrayed in an exhibit which was recently placed in the Church of the Messiah. Park avenue and Thirtyfourth street.

According to members of tbe Con earners' league in charge of tbe display, the cose of tbe twelve rosebud is only one. of many in which work done by women aad children for next to nothing is sold to tbe consumer at a handsome profit.

Preble County Tobacco Grow ers Have Business Ses- ... sion in Eaton. UNION PLANS ARE OUTLINED (Palladium. Special) Eaton, O., July IS. A rousing meeting of Preble county tobacco growers was held Saturday afternoon In the Eaton opera house and representa tives were present from the seven un ions that have already been organized in the county. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, the hall was full. The Eaton band furnished the music for the meeting. National" Organizer C. O. Drayton of Dayton, was present and made a strong talk of the benefits ot the union, and outlined plans and methods of procedure in accomplishing the result for which the organisation is being formed. . National President G W. Eck of Germantown, National Secretary Phillip Spencer of Miamisburg, and Chester Gaber of New Lebanon, also made lively talks. - ";y ' The object is to unionize 70 per cent of the growers in the county and pool the crop raised. They belive that buyers have dictated the price long enough, and from now on if the crop is sold it will be at a price deemed fair by the growers. ' No price has . yet been set by the union, but at a meeting to be held in Dayton during the coming - October this will probably be done. At this time all the unions in the Miami Val ley will be represented and officers to govern the association will, be chosen. Among these officers will be an execu tive committee, whose work it will be to secure buyers. The committee will handle the entire crop raised by each union and will dispose of it direct to wholesalers, thus eliminating , the middle man." By the time of the Oc tober meeting it is expected that there will be forty well organized unions in the valley. Twelve cents per pound is the price being talked by growers. A Kud Intruder.
