Uttermeyer Explains
Reason For His Faith.

Samuel H. Untermeyer, the noted
corporation lawyer of New York. says
that he is going to vote for Bryan for
President-and the reasons which he
gives for his faith in the Nebraskan
and the cause of Democracy are well
worth the widespread publicity which
they are receiving in the columns of
the Democratic press.
Il am a corporation lawyer" says
Mr.. Untermeyer, but above all l am
a citizen. AS corporation lawyer
know something of the abuses of cor
porate management and the necessity
for far greater control than now ex-
lists. On the two great issues of tariff
reform and more effective corporation
control now before the people, it seems
absurd to expect the people will get
as fair treatment, or that it will be as
easy to inaugurate the drastic reforms
that are needed, under the guidance
of the Republican party, which is dom
mated by the interests that are to be
affected, as under the Democratic par
ty, which has no such affiliations.
"Amind the deafening clamor of the
footing of horns and the shrieking of
whistles about the punishment of
wealthy offenders against the laws,
very little has been done, and only
few of the least perniclous abuses
have been abated. The real work is
still to be done to bring the powerful
corporate and other law breakers with
in the law.
Even that which has been accom-
plished has. been done by the presi-
dent almost single handed, and against
the protests of his most powerful party
associates. He has had nothing but
abuse from powerful interests that are
now supporting Taft. His encourage
ment has come from Democrats, and
none has been broader or more patri-
otto than Mr.. Bryan. 1t is fair to judge
party, as a man, by the company it
keeps. Where are the law-defying
corporations in this fight? Has any
body any doubt?"

Who Is John W. Kerno

James 8. Sherman becoming president
of the United States without shudder-
ing, whereas if John w. Kern should
be called upon to step into the highest
office he would grace it.
who is John w. Kern?" asks the
faithless nabob who cast off his faith
full wife, the woman who had bravely
shared his days of poverty and had
struggled with him to build up his
fortunes, as man throws away a
lemon after he has squeezed all the
good out of it. Such impertinence de-
serves no answer, were it not for the
sake of calling attention to the brazen
effrontery of men of Corey's stamp
who had, through the medium of pro-
tected monopoly, grown to be the
greatest menace that confronts this
nation today. Anarchy can be stamp
ed out by force, but the insidious evil
imposed upon this long suffering peo-
pie by men which President Roose-
welt designates very forcibly as mall
efactors of great wealth. is even more
to be dreaded than anarchy.
''Who is John w. Kern?" Why. a
plain, honest American citizen of the
highest type, an unpretentious, clean
living man, yet of scholarly attain
nents and commanding intellect. Had
that purse-proud Pittsburg millionaire
read John W. Kern's mastery reply
to the apology of James S. Sherman,
he would have no need to ask, "Who
is John w. Kern?"

BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY
AT DAVIDSON'S Store

The Fall Opening display at the
stoae of the Davidson Company yes
iterday and last night was a pro-
nounced success. The attendance was
large, especially in the evening. and
the handsome store was a scene of
great beauty with it's wealth of sty.
fish goods and tasty and artistic dec
orations. The display of fashionable
goodi was particularly attractive and
pleasing to the ladies. and the mil
linery department was the centre of
attraction to them by reason of the
superb showing of handsomely trim:
med hats and beautiful display of all
the pretty goods that go to make
woman S hat beautiful.
Last night for several hours an or
chestra discoursed sweet music and
the crowds of visitors and brilliant
display of goods in the brightly illum-
mated building made the scene one of
peculiar beauty and brilliancy.

Sullens on the Warpath.

Fred Sullens, the usually congenial
and companionable cuss who cuts copy
for the Jackson News, has lost his tenn
per, and all because a Crystal Springs
man wrote him a postal card which
read like this:
Monday afternoon everyone was
waiting for the Daily News to ascer-
tain the result of the election in the
Seventh District, but to their disgust
not a line appeared. Evidently Farm
err Dickson must have been resting in
peace. Is the Daily News a metropol.

Imagine, if you can, how an editor
feels when his pride is wounded
when he has the consciousness of
having made a good newspaper, and
when it seems that nobody appreci-
ates his efforts.
we've Deen there, and we know.
For this reason, and for others, We
can appreciate the sentiment con-
tanned in these chaste charges from
Sullens' pen:
why, you lop-eared, long-legged
loonie, you pale piece of punk cheese,
why in thunderation don't you wake
up and get in the game?
why in the name of all that's holy
did you wait for Mondays paper to

who is John w. Kern?" asks Will
liam E. Copey, the multimillionaire
steel magnate who gained notoriety
by marrying Mabelle Gilman, the act
ress.
In the first place, John w. Kern is
an old foggy. He has such old-fash1
Toned notions that he despises a man
who would divorce his wife and the
mother of his children in order to graf
1fy an insane passion for an actress
John W. Kern is one of those back
numbers who places honor above dol
lars. He would not sell his soul for
gold even though the devil offered him
all the yellow metal there is in the
bowels of the earth. He has remained
a comparatively poor man all his life
rather than enter combine to rob the
people and drive competitors out of
business. He never, so far as we have
been able to learn. either founded a
public library or endowed a college.
Having lived an upright, wholesome,
God-fearing life all his days. he has
never felt the necessity of apologizing
to his maker or offering penance in
the form of lucre for his sins"
William E. Corey is about as sharp
a contrast to John w. Kern as could
be found within the possible exception
of James S.. Sherman, the other candi-
date for vice-president. No man who
holds dear the honor of this country

Artificial Teeth.

1t is certain that the ancients had a
knowledge Of dentistry, but it Is diff
ficult to determine when or by whom
the use of artificial teeth was intro
duced. Herodotus says that the Egyp-
tians had dentists for the teeth" In
the British Auseum there are various
dental instruments which had been
found in the ruins Of Pompeii. and
Galen in the second century describes
the method Of extracting teeth by
means Of forceps. Belzoni says that
artificial teeth were In use in antiquity,
since he found some specimens in the
catacombs.
Modern dentistry admits that the
first to teach how to make artificial
teeth was the Arabian Albucasis. and
In his work "Al Tarif'' are drawings
of instruments used for this purpose.
The earliest known allusion to artif-
cial teeth is by Martialis IN the first
century:
You use without a blush false teeth and
hair,
But. Laelia, your squirt is past repair.

home on pretext to go fishing,
Charles Mogontholer, 10 years old, yes

a boy IS years old and tied with rope
and a dog chain to a tree in a swamp
near jamaica He was left there a
prey to mosquitoes, and with little

The little fellow gnawed through the
rope binding his breast. He also sue
ceeded in loosening the dog chain, and
was wandering aimlessly through the
swamp when found by his father. The
boys body was red and swollen from
mosquito bites. His condition was SO
dangerous that a physician was called.
The police began a seemingly fruit
less search for the youthful criminal.
A strange explanation of the theft and
torture inflicted upon the child was Of
fered by Mrs. Morgontholer. She said
that small boy had asserted he would

a weak-fish from him. The descrip-

petite For Dinner.
Before accepting an invitation it is
as we'll to be sure it Is given in good
faith. After an afternoon service held
many years ago in a certain village in
Scotland the preacher a stranger, who
had oficiated, accompanied one of the
elders of the congregation home and
was introduced to his wife. The good
man having asked the clergyman to
stay to dinner, the latter, after little
pressing. consented.
The good lady hurried off to prepare
for the unexpected guest, and. seeing.
as she thought. her husband washing,
as was the custom in those days, at
the family sink, she seized the family
Bible, approached stealthily from be.
hind and brought down the ponderous
tome upon his bald pate, exclaiming:
TAX ye that for bringing hungry
preachers here to dinner every time
they come to the parish"
As soon as the assaulted one could
get the suds out Of his eyes he looked
about him and, after thinking the mat.
ter out concluded that the old lady
had made slight mistake. She, too
came to the same conclusion when, on
returning tq-the parlor. she beheld her
husband patiently waiting for his rev.

BUDDHIST Missions
Envoy From Religion of India
Goes to Europe for
Conversions.
PRINCIPLES OF THE FAITH.

London June 2O.-"Accept Buddhism
and you will have solved the problem
which confronts all Europe today"
declares Macgregor. the monk, apostle
of Buddhism. who has come to Eng
land as chief missionary in move
ment seeking to convert Europe to the
faith of India.
"If Buddha reigned in Europe there
would be no more war, no more greed
and religion would play a paramount
part in the daily life instead of being
relegated to a subordinate position as
it is now. Kindness, compassion
and charity are the three things which
Buddhists strive to show.
Unlike Christian missionaries, we
are not seeking to gain converts by
appealing to their reason. Buddhism
is not a class religion, for Buddha
himself tried to break down caste in
India. Our central belief is self eff
facement From it comes the desire
for truth and right living"
Macgregor is Scotchman who went
to India many years ago, became q
monk and rose to high rank as holy
man. He expresses great confidence
that Europe eventually will embrace
Buddhism.
