BLUFF OF The n. Y. TINES
Wants Proof that Letter ST
Spurious
JOHN ". KERN DENOUNCES LETTER
Democratic Nominee For Vice Presi-
dentBrands its Use by g. @. r.
Campaign Manager as Infa-
nous. Paper Backs Down.

Macon, Ga.-John w. Kern, the DEM
ocratic vice-presidential candidate,
telegraphed his reply to q request
from the New York Times, for proof
of the spurious nature of the let
ter attributed to the authorship OF
the late Grover Cleveland, as charg.
ed by Mr.. Kern in a speech at Bir-
mingham. The letter IN question pur-
ported to show that Mr.. Cleveland
favored the candidacy of the repub-
lican presidential nominee, and Mr..
Kern branded it's use as campaign
document by Mr.. Tafts campaign
managers as an attempt to place a
stigma upon the memory of the ex-
president
He further declared that although
proven to be fabrication, the news
papers responsible for it's circulation
either have failed to right the alleged
wrong, or have so placed the re-
traction as to attract no attention.
The Times declared in a long tele-
gra that reached Mr.. Kern at Bir-
ingham that the evidence against the
genuineness of the. letter was fiimsy
and called upon the vice-presidential
candidate to produces any proof he
might have to bear out the charge
made in his speech
Mr.. Kern's reply follows:
When the executor of Grover
Cleveland's will, after due examina-
tion declared that the letter in ques-
ton avs spurious, it was but confir-
matory of the opinion held and ex-
pressed by the surviving members of
President Cleveland's cabinet, his
most intimate friends, xnd as I UNI.

Every intelligent and fair minded
man familiar with Mr.. Cleveland's
character, his language and manners
of expression, must have been sat
isfed, on a casual reading of the
letter in question of It's spurious ma
ture. The maner in which the letter
was packed about the New York
newspaper offices before it came to
you, ought to have aroused suspicion
as to the Cleveland letter.
The direct evidence of Hastings

of those best qualified to testify, and

but he editor of the Times, that the
letter was never written by Grover
Cleveland.
The Times owes to the American
public the duty of rignting this grea,

The New York Times, which orig
nally published the Cleveland arti-
cles, also printed conspicuously in
the two first columns of it's first
page, Mr.. Hastings denial of it's au-
thenticity, together with his previous
certifications of its genuineness, and
now printing daily large number
OF quotations from other newspapers
calling for the production of Mr..

AN OLD SETTLER.
Lumber Journal Tells of o. A. Myers
Early Experiences in Grays Har-
Dor Country.

o. A. Myers, of Aberdeen, Wash
ington, is entitled to position and
rank in the class of old settlers. He
has been a resident of Washington
for twenty-seven years. He laid out
what is now the city of Aberdeen, it's
first name being Wishkah. He was in
charge of building the first sawmill
erected by the North Western Lum-
Der Company, Hoquiam. Their first
mill was only eighty feet in length.
It's timbers were of redwood brought
from California. Mr.. Myers built the
third saw mill in Chehalis county,
which was erected at MontesanO in
1884. The name of the plant was the
Wishkah Lumber Company. Mr..
Myers is now interested in the Myers
Lumber company, which was named
for him, and is located at South
Prairie. He is a native of Michigan.
He was away from that state for
forty-six years before visiting there.
Mr.. Myers is hale, yOung-loOking
man, with the promise of many years
before him.--West Coast Lumber

GOLD BRICKS.
Farmers Are Separated From Theil
Money by Smooth Advertising
Agents.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An only CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes a bid for his land.
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell
the land at the price named if the
owner will agree to pay for advertis-
ing at the rate of SO cents an acre.
The "agent" promises orally that the
advertising money will not be pay
able until the land is sold, but this
stipulation is not contained in a con-
tract that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy of
an ad and not over courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty-five
agriculturists were caught with this
bait in Brown county and that one of
them gave up 1920. Others declare
hotly that they will not pay but they
will make fight in the courts.

What Labor Received.

After two days deep consultation
the leaders of the republican party,
in response to the demands of labor
all of which, by the way, are ad-
vocated by Roosevelt-the following
meaningless string Of words was
evolved, which are presumed to be
sufficiently vague to enable republi-
can spellbinders to argue any way
on the question, either from circum-
ference to center, or from center to
circumference:
The republican party will uphold
at all times the authority and integri-
ty of the courts, state and federal,
and will ever insist that their powers
to enforce their processes and to pro-
tect life, liberty and property shall be
preserved inviolate. We believe,
however, that the rules of procedure
in the federal courts with respect to
the issuance of the writ of injunction
should provide that a writ of in
junction or temporary restraining Or
der should not be issued without no.
tice, except where irreparable injury
would result from delay, in which
case speedy hearing thereafter
should be granted.

PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.
Will Now Be Taken Care of by Con-
gress-Commission to Be Appoint
ed Immediately.

Farmers will be interested in bill
introduced in congress by Represen-
tative Courier to provide for the
creation of a national highway COM
mission, and for the construction,
improvement and maintenance of
public highways.
BY decisions of the supreme court
of the United States it is held that the
national government has power to
construct, maintain or improve roads
in the various states used in inter-
state commerce, and all roads lead
ing to or connecting Herewith. 1t is
therefore practicable under this bill
for the proposed highways commits
sion to aid in the construction or i'm
provement of any road in any part of
the country, since all roads connect
with, or lead into, some other road
used in interstate commerce.
Section 10 of the bill provides that
the act shall include within it's pro-
visions any and all public highways
within the territory of the United
States which, in the Judgment of the
commission hereinafter created and
constituted, might be constructed,
improved or maintained to promote
interstate commerce and trade and
the postal service of the United
States.

What Labor Asked for.

''The republican party has been
the staunch defender of property and
property rights, yet holds and de-
clares that personal rights and hu-
man liberty must of necessity be en-
titled to the first and highest consid-
Grafton. Recognizing the new condi-
tions arising from our marvellous in
dustrial development, our people and
our nation realize the fact that the
wheels of industry and commerce of
our time require that new law and
new concepts of law must be enacted
to conform to modern industry and
commerce and advance freedom in
line Herewith.
1--WE, therefore, pledge the repub-
lican party to the enactment of law
by congress, guaranteeing to the
wage Garner, agriculturists and hor-
ticulturists of our country the right
of organized effort to the end that
such associations or it's members
shall not be regarded as illegal COM
binations in restraint of trade.
eve pledge ourselves to the enact
ment of law to prohibit the is
suance of injunctionS in cases arising
out of labor disputes, when such in
functions would not apply if no labor
disputes existed; and, that in no case
shall an injunction be issued when
there exists remedy by the ordinary
process of law; and which act shall
provide that in the procedure for the
punishment of contempt of court, the
party cited for contempt shall, when
such contempt was not committed in
the actual presence of the court, be
entitled to trial by jury.
I'VE pledge the republican party
to the enactment of an act extending
the existing eight hour day to all
government employees and to all
workers, whether employed or sub
tOuIIdCLOIo uOluS WOlh loI VI oH DC-

as far as the federal jurisdiction eX-
tends, for general employers liza

of life of employees.
