GOOD WORDS FOR BROWN.

Sanford W. Laid, who was formerly
a member of the firm of Moore. Brown,
Miller Il Laid, but now located at
Jackson, and the general counsel for
the Michigan United Railway, speaking
of his former associate while in the
city few days ago, said:
81 am glad to see that Fred Brown
has come out as a candidate for pros
ecuting attorney. | was associated
with him for some time in business,
and can say that he is an exceptionally
hard worker, most careful, painstak-
ing, thorough and conscientious lawyer
If elected prosecuting attorney he will
be absolutely impartial in the perform
ance of his duties. No warrant will be
issued or refused without careful,
painstaking examination into the mer-
its of the complaint. Unnecessary eX-
penses will be avoid, and all violations
of law will be ably and fearlessly prose
cuted.
"Mr. Brown was member of firm
having in charge large law business
for number of years, and 10y eXper-
fence and training is well qualified to
exercise mature judgement on all mat
tiers requiring his attention as prose
cutting attorney, and with his exper-
ence will make one of the most able
and efficient prosecutors who has ever
held this office.

CLEAN MEN.

Des Moines Capital: The American
people can congratulate themselves
the presidential campaign now begin
ing will be a clean one so far as the
candidates are concerned. There will
be nothing like the Cleveland Blaine
campaign of 1884. Judge Taft is an ex-
emplary man personally. His private
life is clean and above reproach. The
same can be said of Col. William J.
Bryan. Colonel Bryan's personality is
his strong card. His home life is ideal.
No republican will say ought against
him as man. We do not believe any
reputable democrat or democratic
newspaper will undertake to criticise
or attack the life or character of Judge
Taft. These facts demonstrate that
American political life is going for
ward, not backward.

THE WEST is SANE.

The radicalism of the west that some
of the eastern newspaper men have
been writing about in their papers,
since their attendance at the Denver
convention is nine-tenths myth. There
is no such radicalism in the west as
they describe. The west is not any more
radical than the east. There are few
states in which certain politicians have
talked radicalism, mostly in efforts to
create personal followings, but thewest
as whole is just as sane as ever it was
and it is not talking socialism. The
eastern newspaper men have simply
mistaken the west. They are apt to do
that. The views of men who pass

"You may rely on the sincere and
earnest support of the New York Stats
Zeituning. Herman Ridder."
This telegram, sent by the New York
editor from some Kansas town, the
name Of which could not be deciphered,
was received by W. J. Bryan at Fair
view farm, and. although Mr.. Bryan
made no comment, his pleasure was
evident in the bouyant tone in which
he read the statement.
1t was Mr.. Ridder who, before the
Denver convention, called there with
the announced intention of asking Mr..
Bryan to withdraw from the field on the
ground that, in Mr.. Riders opinion,
Mr.. Bryan could not win in November.
Lincoln democrats declare that Mr..
Ridder did not press this point, how
ever, upon visiting Fairview. He de-
parted from Lincoln in happy frame
of mind with Mr.. Bryan's 80. X on his
free wood pulp plank.

WHAT 1T STANDS FOR.

No more fitting summing up of the
many good qualities of the democratic
platform and for what it stands can be
given than the concluding words of the
platform itself, for it shows that the
democratic party stands for democracy;
that the republican party has drawn to
itself all that is aristocratic and pluto
cratic. The great minds who framed
this notable document as a fitting close
to their labors said: The democratic
party is the champion of equal rights
and opportunities to all; the republican
party is the party of privilege monopoly.
The democratic party listens to the
voice of the whole people and guages
progress by the prosperity and ad-
vaneement of the average man; the re-
publican party is subservient to the
comparatively few who are beneficial
ries of governmental favoritism. We
invite the cooperation of all, regard
less of previous political utilization or
past differences, who desire to preserve
government of the people, by the
people and for the people, and who
favor such an administration of the
government as will insure, as far as
human wisdom can, that each citizen
shall draw from society reward COM
mensurate with his contribution to the
welfare of society.

FOOL SPEECHES.

"Bryan will sweep the country!" yell
the democratic organs.
"Taft will go in by landslidev yell
the republican organs.
How do they know? They don't know.
tt should disgust every intelligent
reader.
There is at present no reliable data
upon which to forecast results. Maybe
the democrats will lose four southern
states. Maybe Taft will lose six or
more northern states. There very GER
tainly are ominous mutterings north
and south, east and west, involving
both parties. No mortal can guess
how it will end, whether as landslide
for Taft, q close election, or possibly q
landslide for Bryan.

JOHN W. KERN'S CAREER.
Has Held Many Positions of Trust
in His Native Stdte-A Self
Made Man.

John W. Kern was born Dec. 20, 1849,
at the village of Alta, Howard county,
Ind. His father, DR.. Jacob W. Kern,
was virginian by birth, who removed
to Shelby county, Ind, in 1886, and
lived there until 1S48, when he moved
into the northern part of the state.
John Kern's mother was Nancy Liggett
and she and DR.. Kern we're married in
Warren county, Iowa. From the time
he went to Iowa until he was Is years
old he did not see railroad train. The
family moved back to Howard county
in 1864. In the early COS, while still in
Iowa, Mrs. Kern died.
Two children were left, John and his
sister, who is now Mrs. Isaac Engel, of
Daleville, Va. John was educated in
the district schools and he continued
his education by attending the Indiana
Normal school of Kokomo, Ind, riding
horseback ten miles each way every day.
Later he taught school near Alto. He
earned money to enter Ann Arbor, grad
uating from the law department Of
Michigan University in 1862 He i'm
mediately began practicing in Kokomo,
Ind. He was drafted" when he was q
years old to make the race for the legis-
lature in the republican county of How
ard, but was defeated. He was chosen
city attorney of Kokomo for six terms
over Republican aspirants. In 1884 he
was elected reporter of the supreme
court. Since then Indianapolis has been
his home, where he has practiced law.
He has worked in every campaign,
served the county in the legislature and
was the leader OF his party in the State
senate. He was city attorney under
the last two administrations of Mayor
Thomas Taggart from October, 1901.
In 1900 he was nominated for governor,
but was defeated. Before the st. Louis
convention four years ago, Mr.. Kern's
name was prominently mentioned among
the vice presidential possibilities. Mr..

cured the nomination of Gov. Cummins
for vice president at Chicago, as they
could and should have done, we would
have believed their sugared words
about wanting party harmony in Iowa.
And if Col. Hepburn's managers here
last Saturday had reelected the sena-
torial committeeman, as they did both
the congressional and judicial commit
teemen, l might have believed the
Colonel's velvety words in praise Of
Gov. Cummins. But the attitude of the
standpat leaders is false to the interest
of the state and the party. They secret
ly lead bolt to destroy those who do
not please them, while at the same time
they give them false praise. They fool
the progressives into voting for them
selves, while at the same time they
knife every progressive they can reach.
This is the spirit that governed the
standpat delegation from Iowa to the
national convention, and the spirit that
has governed the leaders of the stand
pat faction in Iowa, who at the behest
of the corporations are engaged in "des-
troying' Gov. Cummins at any cost.
If they now think that Gov. Cummins
is destroyed" or that the progressive
cause in Iowa is dead because of the re-
cent defeat at the primary and the
famous action of the delegatian at
Chicago, they are mighty deceived.
A mighty repulse does not destroy a
movement for the things that are right.

Alex Miller was displeased with the
picture of Andrew Jackson, which
was hung in the Iowa head quarters at
Denver. He says it didn't look bit
like Old Hickory, and he would never
have hung it up there. When did Alex
get to be an art critic? What does he
know about how Andrew Jackson
looked? To read Alexis writings one
would imagine that he had at one time
enjoyed speaking acquaintance with
Noah and knew more about art than
Michael Angelo. Manson Democrat:
