good government Why should we
change it for an uncertainty
In this season of roorbacks, political
and otherwise, the report that Massa-
cbusetts shipyard is building five sub
marine boats for Japan does not create
the sensation that it might in more
stagnant times. People now merely ex-
press mild curiosity to know if it is
true.
Tom Watson writes that he is trying
to organize "a really Jeffersonian move
ment" in the South. Look ont for
great rattling of dry bones in that

The Hon. John w. Kern. the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Indi-
ana, takes serious exception to the cam
paign methods followed by the Eastern
Parker managers. Mr.. Kern seems to
think that political arguments suited
to the longitude of New York are who'll
" uneuited to the longitude Of Indiana
Nor does he care to have new tangled
Eastern ideas tried ont on the unterrified
and loyal Hoosier voter. On two points
Mr.. Kern is especially emphatic. He
gives fair warning that the ''safe and
sane" spellbinder invading Indiana had
better sing low on the "heroism' OF
Judge Parker's post nomination declar-
alton for the gold standard; and out
ragged ssvindicators of the Constitution"
had better play the soft pedal when at
tacking the s.lawless personality" of
President Roosevelt. Mr.. Kern says
that the great heart Of the Indiana
Democracy still beats true to free silver

Bryan, +" he reports. land every slur on
him cast by the Eastern Democratic
pres is bitterly resented throughout
this State. and does incalculable harm. :

puts this Republic upon lofty plain,
ana u well worth the perusal Of every
human being in the world who is cap
able Of reading and comprehending, for
It il not only splendid testimonial to
the efacieucy Of the Republican party,
but most lucid revelation of the aims
and aspirations of the American Nation.
Below are gwen few of the glowing
sentences from this able and luminous
document that are worth committing
10 memory:
No other administration in our his
tory, no other government in the world,
haS more consistently stood for the
hroadest spirit Of brotherhood in our
common humanity, or has held more
re6olute attitude Of protest against
every wrong that outraged the civiliza-
fion Of the world at home or abroad.
It has behaved towards all Nations,
stron9 or weak, with courtesy, dignity
md Justice, and it Is now on excellent
terma With them all.
Our foreign policy has been not only
odvantageous to the United States, but
hardly less advantageous to the world
q 1 whole. Peace and good will have
followed In its footsteps.
Il IL but ten years since the last at
tempt was made, by means OF lowering
the tariff, to prevent some people from
prospering too much. The attempt was
entirely successful.

system would be to insure the prostra-
don Of business. the closing Of factories
th6 imp0verishment of the farmer, the
ruin Of the capitalist and the starvation
of the wage-w0rker.
During the last five years more has
been done for the material and moral
we'll being Of the Filipinos than ever be-
fore since the island first came within
the ken Of civilized man.
We do not stand still. We press
steadily forward toward the goal of
moral and material we'll being for our
own people. OF just and fearless deal
Ing toward all other peoples. In the in
fterest not merely Of the coontry. but of
mankind. There il not policy, foreign
or domestic, which we are now carry
ing out which it would not be disastrous
to reverse or abandon.
We have striven both for civic right
eoumess and for national greatness; and
We have faith to believe that our hands
will be upheld by all who feel love of
country and trust in the uplifting of
mankind.
We hold ever before us the all-import-
ant end Of policy and administration
the reign Of peace at home aud through

only by doing justice.
