John w. KERN ADDRESSED
VIRGINIANS


The Hon. John Worth Kern,
Democratic candidate for the
Vice Presidency, made several no.
table addresses in Virginia last
week, and wherever he appeared

sions. His addresses were appeals
for broad patriotic citizenship, the
kind that America knew before
the law made it possible for fewer
than 100 men to become the real
rulers of this country under Re-
publicanism.
Mr.. Kern spoke to a large as
semblage in Roanoke last Thurs
day night, and he was given tan
enthusiastic reception. He spoken
formally and addressed his hearers
as MEN and women of Virginia."
and said he would be less than
man if he was not deeply moved
at the splendid, true Virginia well
come given him. He felt warm
place in his bosom for the magnifi-
cent Commonwealth Of Virginia.
So far as he knew, all his ances.
tral line wee Virginians. He was
brought up by bis father when
boy to look upon this State as the
brightest star in the armament OF
great States. HE father 50 loved
Virginia that he came back and
spent. the last 80 years of his
life here, and he now slept in Viz
GINA. He would be but a degen-
crate son of noble sire If he
failed in any way with love of the
old Commonwealth. He had spok-
en- three times thatdaY, and be was
taking care of himself for the
closing battle of the campaign, sc
that when the great victory was
won in November it could not be
said that be had not done his full
part. His remarks would neces-
sarily be very brief
He had come into Virginia, as
be went into Alabama and North
Carolina, not that there was any
doubt as to how the States would

matchlsss leader, William Jennings
B;yan, that the grand old Demo
cracy of the South might know
that their services were appreciat

who did not agree with him farm

not fight, and were ell moving to
one end. He was Democrat, II
believer ID the great principles
enunciated by Thomas jefferson,
which were of greater Importance
now than at any time.
He came with cheering new.
from the battle ground. He well
believed that the election In No
7ember would return the DemOcra
tic party to power, and Indiana
would once more be found in the
Democratic column. In the north
land there was great movement
among the people from ocean to
ocean-those who were alarmed at
the party in power, its encroach-
ment on the rights of the people.
He was rore proud than he haG

Bryan, showing that his third

UnintentionaI Sabbath Breaking,

In the early days of New England Il
was the custom to keep the Sabbath
from shutdown Saturday night until
the same hour on Sunday That this
practice was attended by pitfalls is
shown by an incident told in 1.-The Pa.
pers of the Connecticut Valley Histor.
teal Society"
There lived In Ryefeld thrifty
dame, an enterprising, driving woman
and notable housewife. The good wo-
man was not willing to lose Sunday
evenings out of her catalogue of house
work, but she was pious withal and
strictly kept the day to the sunset
limit AS soon as the sun was fairly
below the horizon she would begin her
washing and get her clothes ready for
drying bright and early on Monday
morning.
One cloudy Sunday she. supposing
the day was ended. changed her Sun
day gown. rolled up her sleeves and
went to work. AS she was scrubbing
away in the kitchen. her face toward
the west window. the clouds suddenly
broke, and the great round sun shone
in full on the poor Sabbath breaker at
work. She gave one cry of amazement
and horror and fed the kitchen.
After that sinful day she never be-
gan her work on Sunday evening.

War Department Knocks Out the
Proposition of Judson to Buy
Dredge for Local Points.
HARB0R MONEY MUST REMAIN
War Department. Holds That the Money
Appropriated for the Maintain
ence of Harbors Can Not Be
Used for This Purpose.

The moneys appropriated for the
Kenosha harbor and other harbors
along the west shore of Lake Michi-
gan can not be used for the purchase
of sea going dredge, as the war de-
| partment has handed down a decision
that in keeping with the rulings of
the department the money Happropri-
ated for the maintenance Of the har.
| bors along the lake shore can not be
diverted into fund for the purchase
of dredge. The decision of the de.
partment came as a great surprise to
men who have taken an interest in
the plans of Major Judson and it is
a distinct victory for the men who
violently oppose the purchase of the
dredge. Every city in this district
which has harbor, had through its
Common Council given to Major judi
son the right to take the money in the
harbor funds in the different cities
for the purchase of a dredge. The
plan met with the m ost violent oppo-
sition in Racine and Kenosha and the
Kenosha City Council was the last
one in this district to give its con-
sent to the plan of the engineer in
charge of the district
Mayor Judson in his report to the
war department made a strong recon-
mendation in regard to the purchase
| of the dredge and this recommended
ton was the proposition that brought
out the ruling of the department.
The port of Keuosha was to sscontri-
butte some SIS, 900 toward the purchase
of the dredge and this money which
is now in the Kenosha fundawi1l be
held to pay for such improvements as
may be demandedlin theSharbor dur
;ng the coming year. 1t was planned
to have the dredge used to keep the
Kenosha and Racine harbors clear
from sand brought in1by the north
east winds. 1t is now Thought that
the money on hard will be""used to
make such changes ins'sthe outer
breakwaters atsthe twoscities as will
be necessary to do away with the
filling up of hejharbor.
It is understood tharJsMajor Judson
will not give up the fight for the
building of the dredge lbut if it is
built a special appropriation will
have to be secured from Congress
and it must be expressly statedsthat it
is to be used for. the construction of
the dredge.
The opposition to the building of
the dredge in the district will prob
ably make it a hard matter to have
such an priation passed by Con-
gress. Men interested in the Keno
sha harbor were decidedly luke warm
in their support of the dredge PROPOSE
ton and the action of the war depart
ment in turning down the plan of
Major Judson will meet with little
complaint in Kenosha.
