Second Days Campaign.

Fort Wayne. Ind. Oct. 27.--The sec ond day of the campaign of John W. Kern by special trolley car through Indiana ended tonight with a big meeting In Decatur.
 Leaving Indianapolis at 1880 o'clock this morning, stops were made at Tlpton, Kokomo, Logansport, Wabash and Huntington. From Decatur the party. which included. besides the vice presidential candidate. Senator T. F. Gore, of Oklahoma. Congressman Jo- seph T. Robinson, of Arkansas; Rev. Samuel ". Small, of Atlanta, Ga. and other speakers. proceeded to Fort Wayne, but no meeting was held here.
 In every city through which he passed today, MT. Kern was besieged by scores of old-tlme friends, who grasped his hand. He was introduced to his audience as Honest John" Kern Your Old Neighbor" or other terms ifi- dicating long acquaintance and friend ship.
 In his Decatur speech, Mir. Kern said there was three methods by which the Republican party leaders hoped to win. The first methods. he said, was by the uso of money. which was being "pouredinto the treasury out of the treasuries of every Illegal monopoly in the land and out of the treasury of every protected corporation. The sec- ond method, he said. was coercion; and the third threats of panic.
 T am not afraid of their money" he continued. because votes which arc going to win this election for Bryan. are votes which all the money in the world cannot buy.
 q am not afraid of coercion. be- cause the men of America have become to know that they are sovereigne, and that no power on earth has right to coerce them.
 May God give you men of Indiana" he continued. "a new baptism of patri- otlc power that you may go to the polls on Tuesday and strike a blow for the liberty for which your fathers fought"
 One of the largest crowds that greet ed the candidate was assembled at Lo- gansport The townspeople had been stirred up politically earlier in the day by A visit of Senator A J. Beveridge, and a hundred of farmers had driven to town for the double biu" The srowd cheered heartily when Mir. Kern declared that wherever he had been during the campaign, he found that "the masses of the people have love and admiration for that great champion of the peoples rights. William Jennings Bryan"
 We are going to win this time." he said because our opponents are divided: and they are not divided be- cause Dem ocracy Is united; but because We are everlastIngly right on the is- sues of the campaign"

the freedom of the press in these
words, Congress shall pass no
law abridging the freedom of
the press"
This, Mr.. Atkinson asserts,
demonstrates that the great men
who framed the constitution rec
ognized the necessity of having
the press remain free and took
it out of the power of congress
to curtail its liberty,
Congress, itself, has done little
in violation of the desires of the
men who established this COVER
ment, but numerous postmasters
general and their assistants have
endeavored to usurp power great
er than that possessed by con-
gress. They have trampled UNI
derioot the rights of publishers
and violated the constitution of
the United States in their high
handed efforts to be dictatorial.
To this, Mr.. Atkinson objects
and he calls on the press of the
United States 10 combine and re-
sist the entertainments on it's
freedom by the arbitrary minions
of the postoffice department.

The Custer County Republican
hits the nail square on the head
when it suggests the name of w,
A. George for one of the delegates
to the National Republican con-
vention to be held at Chicago.
This congressional district is en-
titled to two delegates, and there
is no one we would rather see go
as one of them than w. A. George.
Mr.. George has all the qualiiica-
tions necessary, is loyal republi-
can, and there is no other man in
the district who could represent
us at the convention better than
him. Lets see that he is sent.

Preparing for a Fierce Fight.

A Washington correspondent
sees preparations being made for
a bitter internecine struggle
and tells about it as follows:
while the attention of the
general public is taken up with
the talk of possible war with
Japan and everyone is following
the progress of the battleship
squadron round the Horn, a
mighty army is being quietly
marshaled here in Washington
and preparations for a bitter
internecine struggle are being
pushed vigorously.
And it will be fierce fight, end
ing only when the agressors are
victorious. This is the fight
which the advocates of prohibi-
tion are planning to make before
congress for the enactment of
laws which will shut out the
Demon Rum" from the District
of Columbia. If anyone thinks
that the matter is purely local
issue they will find themselves
very much mistaken. For the
hosts of temperance, believing
that the time has come when
they can force such measure
through congress, and realizing
what an impetus would be giver
their cause by thus committing
the federal government, are de-
termined to make every shot
count and will leave no stone un-
turned in razing the bulwarks of
the liquor interests. Washing
tonians will have very little
voice in the fight which is tc
leave the city wet or dry
for the outcome will very largely
depend upon the pressure exerted
on the individual members from
their home districts and states.
No quarter will be given, none
asked; 1t will be fight to the
finish"

Many Farmers
Were Victimized
1t is Alleged Smooth Salesman for
a Stock Food Company
Done Them" Plenty.

Sometime during the fall
months a salesman visited the
farmers in the south part of the
county and secured a number of
orders for stock food and medi-
cines, and the purchasers of the
concoctions claim that they were
promised stock food and medi-
cines for their stock for five
years at an annual cost of 5000.
1t has developed, however,
that in signing the articles OF
agreement the farmers signed
notes for 10000 which are now
in the hands of bankers, who are
innocent purchasers, and the
chances are none Of the farmers
who signed up will escape pay
ing their notes-and they hadn't
ought to escape after having beer
warned by their home paper,
times without number, not to
sign their names to any kind of a
paper when presented by a
stranger.
One case has been tried, thai
of Andrew Horsman, and a YER
dict rendered against him. The
face of. the note, interest an6
costs in the suit amount to
$13S. 40. Perhaps he will wake
up-neXt time he takes medicine
by the year.

The Aldrich Bill.

The objections to the Aldrich
bill which leading bankers in
Chicago and elsewhere in the
west have so forcefully and earn
estly advanced serve to emphasize
the complexity of our currency
problem and the wide differences
of expert opinion that prevail
with regard to the exact form
which the lmperatively needed
financial panic-prevention legis-
lation ought to take in order to
meet the conditions, not merely
of New York, but of the country
at large.
1t is undeniable that the Aid
rich bill appeared to conform to
the few principles that were indi-
dated in the currency paragraph
of the presidents last mess age. 1t
was framed with the idea Of sim
plicity prominently in view, and
in hope of avoiding controversy
and friction. But closer study Of
its provisions has led bankers
and newspapers of absolute good
faith and impartiality to express
grave doubts as to its efficacy
and utility. Even in New York
it has been freely criticized by
those who are independent of
Wall street. These various criti-
cisms are directed against the
proposed tax on the emergency
notes, as we'll as against the
$3.50, 100000 limit and the char
acter of the securities suggested
as their basis.
If a comparatively simple and
conservative bill arouses so much
opposition, what, it may be ask
ed, will happen in the event of {
comprehensive currency measure
being offered by the house com
mittee?
But the existence of such pro
nounced differences Of opinion
or OF interest, can surprise NJ
legislator who has intelligent,
studied the situation, and certain
ly affords no excuse for inactioi
or Sinking. No greater dut,
rests on the present congress
than that of removing the dan
ger of another stringency ant
another panic, The difficultie
that exist must be overcome, tn
, divergences harmonized, as ia
: as possible. They will not dis
appear of themselves, and Their
is no other body that can grappl
with them. The people expec
/ action here and now, and the
will demand that congress will
take up the question with
determination to reach a reason
r ably satisfactory settlement of il

There has been considerable
favorable press comment on the
suggestion that three-fourths of
the members of a jury should
be entitled to BRING in verdict
and on civil cases where ten of
the twelve men are of the same
mind their decision should be ac-
cepted. Jurists and attorneys
recognize that justice is frequent
ly baked by the obStinacy OF one
man. The idea is in harmony
with the national life-and con.
stitutional. The majority should
rule on juries as much as in poll
tics or in public affairs or a
boss race. The present system
requiring a unanimous verdict
causes expense and delay and
caters to minority control.
