dealing with the many public ques-
tions that have demanded prompt and
earnest consideration during his term

product of Republican legislation, and
we regret the Republican mismanage-
ment that has once more in time of
profound peace, and with every ma
tural reason for prosperity, plunged
the nation into the evils of financial
stringency and industrial depression.
We condemn the act of selling inter
est-bearing bonds in a time of peace
and for depositing most of the pro-
ceeds in the banks of New York that
were largely responsible for the finan-
cial troubles.
I'VE favor the amendment of the
law regulating the payment of en-
plOyes of manufacturing and mining
companies so as TO provide for a
weekly payment of wages due. in
stead of payments each two weeks.
Bryan the Leader.
Democracy enters upon the presi-
Dental campaign with a leader al
ready chosen. Called to command when
but a young man, combatted in two
successive campaigns by the unTea-
sOning assaults of his adversaries and
debauched suffrage corrupted by
contributions made by predatory
wealth. this great leader by force of
his splendid intellect, his noble man
hood, his matchIess eloquence, his
purity of life, has not only become
easily the greatest private citizen of
the republic. but an absolute moral
force in the world In hOnoring him,
the Democracy of Indiana hOnors
itself The Democracy of the United
States with one accord delivers its
banner TO Nebraska's gifted son, Hon.
William Jennings Bryan.
The condition of our country and
the remedies to be applied will require
that there should be placed at the
head of our government a man whose
sympathies are with the masses, and
the promptings of whose heart beat is
responsive to the good Of the people.
and whose honor. integrity or capacity
cannot be questioned. The man of the
hour is Americas foremost citizen,
w. ]. Bryan, and we hereby endorse
him for the presidency of the United
States. and instruct our delegates to
the national convention to cast the
vote of Indiana for his nomination.
Kern for Vice President.
The Indiana Democracy, having
justitiable faith in the high character
the proved ability, the distinguished
party service and the aggressive pa
rriotism of our beloved fellew citizen,
John W. Kern. do hereby commend
him to the Democracy of the nation

The diplomatic circle is still speculat-

the German government. One sugges-
ton is that Ambassador Tower desires
to remain i'm Berlin for some time,
and that his influence with the en-
peror has been exerted to dissuade the
authorities at Washington from re-
lieving him. But this meets with little
credence here. The official files con-
tain no resignation by Ambassador
Tower. Last fall President Roosevelt
received a letter from him confirma-
tory of news dispatch explaining that
Mr.. Towers children had reached an
age when they should matriculate at
some of the American universities, and
he wished TO be near them. There was
nothing in the nature of a formal re-

that the president has endeavored to
induce Mr.. Tower to reconsider his de-
cision.

Commission Useless.

M Williams says:
The presidents preparation for tariff
revision by consideration at the hands of

A STATESMAN WITH A CON-
SCIENCE"

Description Of the Republican Pres
idential Candidate by Senator
Borah of Idaho
(F'rom Senator Borah's Boston
Speech
Now, II seems to be conceded BY
friend and fee that few men have been
nominated for the presidency whose
experience. whose training and whose
sound and wholesome fashion of grasp
ing and dealing with public questions
were equal to those of William II.
Taft.
He Is not a crusader. he Ii a states
man with conscience. He has won his
present position through a cheerful, un-
hesitating and undertaking devotion to
on the open field of action. through an
intelligent conception OF the strength
and worth OF our great government
with its checks and balances; and the
strength and capacity of our citizen
ship with its loyalty and its patriotism.
''No man ever had a deeper regard
for the fundamental principles and pre-
tpts upon which tuis government Is
founded. and no one ever had iirmer
conviction that the constitution is n
sufficient chart by which to measure all
rights and obligations and to gauge all
the demands and all the aspirations
and restrain and control all the reck-
lessness of this indomitable race OF
ours. Trained in the law. eleven years
on the bench. he explored well the
sources of Jurisprudence and carried
away from his work an everlasting de
votion TO order and Justice.
Under all circumstances and under
all emergencies. he has proved himself
a brave. clean minded, self-poised and
courageous statesman. No man can put
his finger upon little or cowardly
act. an Incompetent or questionable
piece OF public service-no stain upon
his private life. no shadow upon
his public career. And standing now In
the full fierce light which beats upon a
throne. with eager eyes scrutinizing
every act OF long and arduous public
career, no doubt arises as to his expe-
rience and ability. no challenge comes
to his fine sense OF duty or HIS patriot

SAYS WEALTH Is DISTRIBUTED
Chief Statistician Of Census Bureau
Writes on "The Assets of the
United States"

The nations wealth is not In the
hands of few. according to L G.
Powers, chief statistician of the census
bureau at Washington.
Writing on The Assets of the United
States in the September number OF
the American Journal OF Sociology. is
sued recently from che University OF
Chicago press, Mr., Powers has the fol-
lowing TO say OF the concentration OF
wealth in America:
IF we start with the value OF farms
and other homes which are known TO
be owned by men of small possessions.
the savings bank deposits and other
known possessions OF those OF moderate
means. and then add the lowest popular
estimates of the possessions OF our
millionaires we have an aggregate far
In excess of the census appraisal OF
national wealth. and the conclusion
under such circumstances Is Irresistible
either that the census estimates are
ridiculously small or the popular est-
mates of the wealth OF our millionairss
are greatly exaggerated.
The writer does not find any evil
dence that would justify either the
statement that our national wealth 10
grossly underststed or that our million
aires own so large a share OF that wealth
as to leave the great majority without
property"

TAFT's INJUNcTIoNs.

I ask that every responsible
and fair-minded labor leader, ev-
cry responsible and fair-minded
member of labor organization,
read these (Taft's) injunctions
for himself If he will do so, In
stead of condemning them he will
heartily approve of them and will
recognize this further astonish-
ing fact that the principles laid
down by Judge Taft in these very
injunctions, which laboring peo-
themselves the very principles
which are. now embodied in the
laws or practices of every respon-
sible labor organization. The
principles which he therein %
wisely and fearlessly laid down
serve as a charter of liberty for
all OF us, for wage workers. for
employers. or the general public:
for they rest on the principles Of
fair dealing for all. OF even-hand-
ed Justice for all. They mark
the Judge who rendered them as
standing for the rights OF the
whole people; as far as daylight
is from darkness, so far is such a
Judge from the time-server. the
trucker TO the mob. or the cring-
Ing tool of great, corrupt and cor
rupting corporations President
