Mr.. KERN TO THE RESCUE.
DECLARES THAT TAGGART is UN.
JUSTLY ACCUSED BY HIS EN-
EMiES, AND THEREFORE WILL
NOT RESIGN PLACE.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 7, (SpL)-
John w. Kern, Taggart's attorney in
the gambling cases, issued hot state
ment tonight replying to Governor
Hanly's attack.
He said that no man in public life
has been more unjustly assailed than
Taggart. He accused Hearst of being
inspired by the action of the state
convention in indorsing Bryan and ig-
noring him. Other newspapers, he
continued, have joined in the hue and
cry against Taggart, hoping to gain
partisan advantage because of his
position as National Chairman. He
said the state had stepped in to stop
gambling, knowing of the legitimate
efforts Taggart was making to termin-
ate the lease of the gamblers. Il
have given these facts, which are cor
roborated fully by the Court records
here, as the basis for my opinion that
the statements about Mr.. Taggart and
his business interests have been I'M
fair and outrageous.
when the real facts are known the
maligners and slanderers will be the
ones who will receive public censure.
In the meantime Mr.. Taggart will, of
course, remain Chairman of the Nat
ional Committee.

MUCH PRISON Irvine USED
WAYNE COUNTY TRYING IT
State of Indiana Making Considerable
Roadway In it's War Against the
Big Binder Trust-Prices Likely to
Be Cut Considerably.

Numerous Wayne county farmers
have this year purchased binder Irvine
manufactured by the State of Indiana
at the Michigan City prison, and have
found the Irvine of excellent quality
and very satisfactory.
The State is after the Irvine trust
and has placed the price lower than
the trust will sell it. However, only
a large quantity will be sold at time,
so it is necessary for several farmers
to get together in order to avail them
selves of the price. Dealers expect
that the trust will next year meet all
the prices of the prison and go that
institution some better, as labor does
not cut SO much figure in the manu-
facture of the article. 1t is the mach
inery that makes the Irvine and few
workmen are needed. If labor enter
ed into the cost very much, the prison
would have the trust beaten to a
standstill within a short time
AS it is, the trust will not get to
make the enormous profits in the
business, as several state penal insti-
buttons over the country will be max
ing twine next year.

HoOS|ER CROP FIGURES
BIG TASK FOR OFFICIALS
Every one Of the 1,o16 Townships
In Hoosierdom-Will be of Value to
the Farmer When Completed.

Ned Goodnow, field deputy for the
Indiana State Statistician, is just now
engaged upon a big job, the annual
crop reports from the township as
SCISSORS of the state having been re-
ceived at his Office. The work of
compiling these reports is something
"herce' to use Goodnow's expression,
but the work is progressing satisfac-
torily.
The are 1,016 townships in the min
ety-two counties of the state. Each
township assessor sends in report
upon which there are answers to thir
ty-six questions regarding the acreage
or wheat, corn, oats, hay, potatoes,
tomatoes and other products, timber
land, pasture and land regarder as
untillable. Other questions have ref
erence to the number of horses, cattle,
sheep. hogs and poultry, the wool clip.
the amount of butter and cheese made
last year and the number of dozens of
eggs sold. 1t is safe to estimate that
there is an average of four figures to
each of the thirty-six answers.
On the 1.016 reports, therefore,
there are 36,576 answers. Counting
four figures to the answer. it makes
total of $4,000 figures that must be
copied in order to make complete
record. This must be, done in dupli-
cate, making a grand total of 296,60S
figures that must be made by Good
now, on this one report. And the
compiling of the crop report, while it
is one of the most important of all
that are collected by the State Stats
tician, is only one of the many duties
of the office.
