Promptly Declares That the Charge
Us Absolutely False.
Tipten, Ind, Oct 2S.-'T am reliably
Informed and make this specific
charge that 100000 of money, large
~ contributed by trusts and combines,
was brought into Indiana last Sunday
and passed through the hands OF
Fred Sims, secretary of state"
John w. Kern, the Democratic vice
presidential candidate, made the above
declaration before a good sized au-
dience here.
81 thiak that every thoughtful and
patriotic citizen will see the necessity
for the publication of campaign con-
tributions before election" said Mr..
Kern. THE people would be much
better advised as to how they should
vote If they knew the extent to which
unlawful monopolies and combines
were contributing money for campaign
purposes, and IL they also knew which
party was the recipient of these con
tributions.
Every sensible man knows that
when contribution Is made to a cam
paign fund by one of these lawless
And plundering combinations it ex
poets to have value received in the
form of special favors."
Mr.. Kern reviewed the action of the
respective conventions of the leading
parties with reference to publicity OF
oapaign contributions and continued
Takes Rap at Republicans.
y do not wonder that the Republic
an party this year is declining to give
the names of the men and corpora
tions that are supplying the sinews o.

the names of these donors Bryan
would carry the state by 1000 Sucf
publication would disclose the fac
that every unlawful combination II
America has poured out money unlaw
fally absorbed from the peoples earn
ings into the Republican treasury fol
the purpose of debauching the ballot.
| Referring to the alleged s1O0,Oo'
contribution recently brought into this
| state Mr.. Kern continued:
| "Mr. Sims is a most estimable gen
tleman and warm personal friend o
mine, but am compelled to say tha
1t is a sad spectacle to see public

COMPETING FRUIT GROWERS.
Washington Expects to Excel Califor-
 mia at the Seattle Exposition.

Competition between the fruit grow 'ers of California and Washington for
 Supremacy in the exhibit at the Alaska
 Yukon-Pacif1c exposition in Seattle next year promises to be lively. G. D.. Dickson of Ellensburg, Wash, chair Eman of the exposition committee on Horticulture, announces he has advices |that the growers in the Golden State |wilf T.ccrk together in an effort to cap lure first honors. In this connection |The Spokesman Review of Spokane, Hays editorially:
 "The fruit growers of California, if Ehey undertake to carry off the chief |honors, will make no half-hearted eff fort. They are jealous of the reputa- tion of their State and will work earn estly and unitedly. That they can make highly creditable display is undeniable, The very excellence of their exhibit will afford all the more reason for Washington to be congratu- lated when 1t makes better one,
 Irrespective rivalry In this matter should stimulate the fruit growers of Washington to special eaort. While California is a competitor not to be ignored, there are reasons for believ- ing 1t can be put second to Washing ton in the variety, size and quality of its, fruit"

MELONS FOR THE MILLION.
Clos Angeles Times.)

There will be great melon-cut in Imperial County soon. The railroads and the life insurance companies are all niggardly in the "melon-cuts" they are handing out this year. It is I'm perial Valley to the rescue. This new county on the flag of California will furnish a slice of melon for all the people of the country. Ten thousand acres of antaloupes-think of that! It is poor acre melon patch that will not fill car with the DIg fruit. Ten thousand cars of juicy cantaloupes from the submarine territory of Cali fornia will supply many breakfast ta- bles with a slice for each member of the family, the cook and the hired man.
 The East will please get ready. All ye over the divide have but to open your mouths like young bluebirds in the nest and California will fill them. That is what the Loro said to Israel ages ago-"Open your mouths wide and I will fill them." He says the same thing to the new Israel, his chosen people, "us Americans" Here is the new Land of Promise, where every promise is fulnhed. It Is not only flowing with milk and honey" but rolling in its wealth. of oranges and big melons.
 The people in Imperial Valley have the land and the sun and the water. They have put in the seed and nature has done the rest. The crop will soon be ready to harvest and the East will furnish the mouths to consume this luscious crop. Now. ye energetic far mers below sea level, be wise as well as industrious.

CANALS USEFULNESS.
Engineer Stevens Could Not See 1t
 From a Railroad Standpoint.

Mr. John F. Stevens has dispelled
 part of the mystery surrounding his
 abandonment of the Panama Canal enterprise last year. He has made it clear that his heart was never in the
 work. To him it was simply an en- gineering exercise, interesting from it's difficulty, but of no practical value. All the huge cost in money and labor, the heart-breaking toll, the sickness and death, were thrown away. Instead of finding inspiration in the thought that he was linking his name with splen- did achievement he was weighed down by the belief that he was identifying himself with gigantic failure. No wonder he turned tail and ran
 The only tolerably important Ameri- can business MT. Stevens can see for the canal is the trade between the east coast of the United States and the west coast of South America, and that he thinKs would not amount to much because there are few South Americans between the Andes and the Pacific, and those mostly of primi- tive sort. Saying nothing of the rapid development and the assured future of Chile and Peru (tne canal is built for the future as well as Sor the pres ent), MT. Stevens ignures the one prime reason for the existence of the enterprise as an American government undertaking. As railroad man it is perhaps natural that he should. The driving force that has pushed forward over all obstacles for thirty years until an Isthmian Canal is now actually on the way toward completion has been the desire of tl,c people of the Pacific Coast of the United States to free their industries from the domina- tion of the transcontinehral railroads. The object of the enterprise has been primarily domestic; foreign trade has been only incidental. The three Pa cific States of California, Oregon and Washington are as large as the Ger man Empire and the United Kingdom combined; they have nearly three and a half million people already, and they can easily support huuured millions. With Alaska and British Columbia the Pacific Northwest has a million and a quarter square miles. That is where the trade is coming from that will tax the capacity of the canal-a trade in large part still to be developed, but which will spring into life at it's first free opportunity. The trade of the west coast of the United States, re- marks MT. Stevens, airaly, as one dis missing trifle, i've have already" Yes, "we," the railroads, have it, as far as i've" have permitted it to exist but i've" shall not have 1t all on our own terms after the Canal is finished. -S. D. Moffett.

line all over the East and tell the people what you can do for them in the way of melon-cuts for the Presi- dentlal year 1908. By the way, send a carload or two to Chicago in June and to Denver in July. Let there be free trade in melons at both conven- tions.

train to Jump for their lives.
Two farm families living near the
track were the only people, besides
the railroad crews. to hear the thud
as the trains came together. Two
steel cars on the southbound train
were not SO badly damaged. but the
