CONSERVATION OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
Far Reaching Policy for the Good
of All the People.
Republican Party Uncovering Vast
Wealth and Making Home Own
ing Easier Each Year.

An extremely important feature of
the constructive Republican policy is
the national movement for the conser-
walton of the natural resources of the
country This measure has been orig
mated 10y the present Republican adj
ADMINISTRATION and, like the homestead
law. the national irrigation act and
other measures for the benefit of the
whole people, it's influence is destined
to he far reaching and productive of
great good to the home builders Of the
country.
The National Conservation Commits
sion as it exists to-day is an outgrowth
of the Inland Waterways Commission
this Commission was appointed by
President Roosevelt in March, 1907. In
his letter creating the Waterways Com
mission the President uses this Ian
guagc: 'That the Inland Waterways
Commission shall consider the relations
of the streams to the use of all the
permanent natural resources and their
conservation for the making and main
fcnance of prosperous homes"
r3on.c Building for tho People.
The inquiries of the commission along
shc lines indicated led to the proposal
TO the President ON Oct. that he call
n conferences on the general subject of
the conservation of the national re-
sources of the nation. Among other
reasors mentioned for this movement
their letter to the President stated:
Hitherto our national policy has been
ore of almost unrestricted disposal of
natural resources, and this in more Law
-e-I,
III the worlds history; and this policy
of the federal government has been
shared by the constituent States. Three
Consequences have ensued: First, I'M
pre- edented consumption of natural re-
sources; second, exhaustion of these
resources to the extent that large
part of our available public lands have
passed into great estates or corporate
Interests. our forests are so far depict
I'd rs to multiply the cost of forest
products. and our supplies of coal and
iron ore are so far reduced as to en-
nance prices and third, unequalled OPP
pnituIity for private monopoly, to the
extent that both the federal and State
-sovcveiSnties have been compelled to
enact laws for the protection of the
people
We are of opinion that the time has
come for considering the policy of con-
serving these material resources on
which the permanent prosperity of our
country and the equal opportunity of
all cur people must depend; we are also
nf opinion that the policy of conserva-
zion has so marked an advance on that
policy adopted at the outset of our ma
fionai career as to demand the consid-
Grafton of both federal and State Spon-
-Sors for the welfare of the people,
In his address before the Lakes-to-

SKIN TROUBLES CURED.
First Had Itching Rash-Threatened
Later With Biood-Poison in Leg
Relied on Cuticura Remedies.

about twelve or fifteen years ago
I had a breaking-out, and 1t itched,
and stung so badly that ] could not
have any peace because of it. Three
doctors did not help me. Then used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent and
began to get better right away. They
cured me and 1 have not been bothered
with the itching since, to amount to
anything. About two years ago
had la grippe and pneumonia which
left me with a pain in my side. Treat
ment ran it into my leg, which then
swe1led and began to break out. The
doctor was afraid it would turn to
blood-poison. 1 used his medicine
but it did no good, then 1 used the
Cuticura Remedies three times and
cured the breaking-out on my leg ]. F.

en- she took frequent occasion to en-
phasize this view, and it bore good
fruit
The home life of Mrs Kern is ideal.
The modest frame house at 1922 North
Meridian street has sheltered one of
the happiest, chummiest families in
the city, There are three children in
the household, Miss Julia, young
woman of striking appearance, daugh-
ter of Mr.. Kern's first wife, and two
sons, John Worth Kern, Jr., aged
eight, and William Cooper Kern, five
years old. The Kern boys are 'just
kids of the old-fashioned sort They
are husky, full of life and play, and
prefer going barefooted to dressing up.
When w. J. Bryan was entertained
at the Kern home last February, Mrs.
Kern told the boys they were going to
have strawberries, and that they must
not display bad manners by saying
anything about them. They must ap-
pear wholly unconcerned at the sight
of strawberries so early in the season.
We'll. we1l,'' said Mr. Bryan, when
the dessert came, strawberries in
February. That is just fine"
The Kern boys looked at their
mother in great establishment; then at
stand. Afterward one of them slipped
up to his mother and said:
MY Bryan has awful bad manners.
He spoke about our having strawber
ries in February. Papa didn't. Papa
has better manners than Mr.. Bryan"
Mr.. Kern is a model father. He
takes great pride in his boys and is
like a big brother to them. They tell
him their troubles with a confidence
always that he will promptly straight
en- them out And he seldom fails to
find a way.
Mr. Kern has been twice married.
His eldest son, a volunteer in the
United States army, died in Cuba from
fever during the Spanfsh-American
war, in 1898.
The nominee himself is teetotaler.
He was member of the dinner party
at which yice-President Fairbanks

and club life, graduate of Mrs Sew

finishing course in Miss Gardeners

and tennis.
Like her father, she is of an exceed
ingly domestic turn and is perhaps

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM
New York World Says 1t Is Framed
in the Interests of PIutocracy.


(From the New York World.)
Mr. Mack must share the amaZement
of tile World over a pretended Demo-
cratic platform which. while reiterat-
ing Its abiding faith in the princi-
pies of Democracy as against plutocra-
cy," is framed in the interests of the
very plutocracy it processes to de-
nounce.
1t is a platforzf@ for the protection
of Wall street gamblers; for the pro-
lection of insurance criminals; for the
protection of traction thieves; for the
protection of Ryan-Harriman stock-job-
bers; for the protection of rich tax
dodgers; for the protection of preda-
tory corporations. 1t is a betrayal of
Democratic principles; it is betrayal
of the Democratic party; it is be
trayal of the Democratic masses.
Standing before the people on such
q platform, and on such platform
alone, no Democratic candidate could
be elected to office either in New York
or in any State north of Mason and
Dixon's line Fortunately for the
Rochester nominees, most of them
have public records which give the
lie to Murphy's corporation resolutions

Mr. Bryan says he would extirpate
trusts, root and branch If Mr.. Bry-
ans language is more than mere rhet-

erty, to divide it up and sell 1T In

am not in favor of his method of deal
ing with trusts, because 1 believe that
such large combinations legitimately
conducted greatly add to the prosperity
of the country--Hon- VIM H Taft, at

MRS. JOHN v. KERN
CHILDREN THE HOBBY OF WIFE
OF DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
Home Life 10 Ideal and Her Club
Work Is Devoted to Inducing
Women to Aid Little Ones in
Many Ways.

Indianapolis, Ind.-Mrs John w.
Kern, wife of the Democratic candi-
date for president, has a hobby
1t is not woman's clubs, although she
Is clubwoman; or fashionable din
All these are good enough in their
way, but not deserving of the allah
sorbing attention of the human mind
in the opinion of Mrs. Kern. Her
hobby is children
Mrs. Kern primarily is home wom-
an, a thoughtful wife and tender
mother. And after that she bends her
strongest influence and devotes the
most OF her extra time to the children
of her home city who are sick and
tired and curbed by scant surround
ings. She is often found at the Ell
eanor hospital for sick children. There
her sympathetic smile has lent en-
enlargement to hundreds of small suf-
ferers.
There is no one more prominent in
the free playground movement in In
dianapolis than Mrs. Kern. She is
the most enthusiastic patron of the
fresh air camps.
Mrs. Kern is thoroughly practical in
her ideas. Women's clubs, she de-
clares, can do far more good by as
sisting charities like the children s
hospital and the playground movement
than by discussing the whyfores and
whereforeS of Balzac. While she was
president of the local council of wom-

Mature gave him poise, judi
ciJl temperament, great force of
character and tenacity of pur-
pose" said the Senator. His
long life in the public service is
distinguishing for its marked
ability, its wisdom, its integrity,
its patriotism. He has taken ad-
vanced grounds on the great is
sues that are engaging the pro-
foundest thought of the people
of this great country.
Now from somewhat init
mate acquaintance with him for
the last twenty years L say that
he is progressive in principle and
he is equipped most wonderfully
in experience"
The Senator then reviewed MIR.
