er federal officeholder, is chairman.
Associated with him as treasurer is
trust magnate. One of the assistant
treasurers is an official of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road, which is under Indictment
through Theodore Roosevelt's admin
istration. Another subtreasurer is a
Dupont, of Delaware, who is at the
head of a trust also under Indictment.
Where is your relief coming from?
Is it coming from the Republican
party?
President Roosevelt favored an in
come tax on inheritances. Does the
Republican party's platform declare
for these things? No, if you want re-
lief, vote for that honest man, William
Jennings Bryan. (Applause.)
''He was the choice of the people for
president despite the attacks upon
him by the greatest editors of the
country, despite the cartoonists, who
ridiculed him, and despite the sneers
of the trust magnates. How was Mr..
Taft nominated? The machinery of
the federal government was used to
nominate him. Every principle of
civil service was violated. But / will
not discuss the civil service, for I
believe the chief apostle, At
torney General Bonaparte, lives
in Maryland. Uaughter) If Theo-
dore Roosevelt could not curb the
trusts, what can Mr. Taft as president
do?"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Kern's
speech, Hon. J. F. C. Talbot addressed
the audience. He went for his oppon-
ent on the Republican ticket, Mr.. Gar
rett, and declared him to be an enemy
of labor, organized and unorganized
He charged Mr.. Garrett with opposing
the 8-hour law and said that his
wealth, social ties, business relations
and his own personal inclination kept
him out of touch with the man who
earns his bread by the sweat of his
brow-except when votes were wanted.
Mr.. Talbot declared himself heart
lily in favor of the Lincoln Highway
from Washington to Gettysburg by
way of Westminster, and assured his
audience he would do everything in
his power to secure the passage of
Congressman Lafean's bill.
Mr.. Talbot discussed the tariff and
it's burdensome effect upon the farm
ing community. If any class of our
people, deserve exemption from unwise
taxation it is the tiller of the soil, and
Iyet the farmer suffers more from
tariff iniquity than those of any other
occupation. To prove that this is the
case, Mr.. Talbot cited the following
instances, showing the home price of
goods manufactured in this country
and the foreign price for the same ar
ticles: ..-

Drudgery Depopulates Farms.

The romance Of the farm vanishes
before its story Of toll and hardship.
What drove Anna Byer from the farm
has driven thousands Of her sisters
and more thousands of her brothers
to the cities. 1t is almost within the
century the farmer-father has learned
that if he would keep the children on
the farm with him, or have them fol-
low his occupation, the farm must be
made attractive. The drudgery must
be divided and assigned with the dis
cretion applied in business pursuits.
There must be relaxation and recrea-
ton. Some effort must be made at
entertainment and the scheme which
declares that the farm is place OF
unending toll. The assertion that this
can't be done is met by another that
it has been and is now being done.

Each member of the church ought to

In few years our voices will be as

then be diligent while opportunity is

Mr.. Talbot showed himself to be
thoroughly familiar with tariff mat
ters, and although he arrived late and
was compelled to speak after so dis
tinguished an orator as the vice presi-
Dental candidate, he had no difficulty
in securing the attention of his audi
ence and holding it to the last.
The First Regiment Band enlivened
the occasion with numerous national
airs.
Mr.. Kern spent Saturday night in
Westminster and left at 10 o'clock Sun
day morning for Gettysburg, accom-
panied by Insurance Commissioner
B. F. Grouse, several Democratic poll
ticians from Baltimore, an Associated
Press reporter, and two Indiana
friends of Mr. Kern. Two automo-
biles carried the party On the return
trip brief stop was made at the home
of ex-State Senator T. Herbert Shriv-
er where refreshments were served.
Mr.. Shriver and Mr. Kern had met at
Denver, where the former went as
delegate to the Democratic national
convention.
After leaving Mr.. Grouse at West
minister, the trip was continued to
Cn0 country nome OF the balumOfo
leader, John Mahon, near Pikesville,
where supper was had and an hour
or more spent in pleasant conversa-
ton. 1t was nearly II O'Clock when
the party reached Baltimore.
In recounting the days event and
his Impressions of the battlefield,
which he visited for the first time, Mr..
Kern said:
"It was the longest automobile
Journey which have ever taken and
also one of the most pleasant, Your
Maryland hospitality is simply un-
surpassed. lc3
"A fellow cannot go to Gettysburg
and visit that scene of heroism dis
played by both sides without feeling
new inspirations and new admira-
ton for American valor and patriot
ism. When General Hancock was a
candidate for President of the United
States l made a study of the Gettys-
burg battle, and I thought 1 had
pretty accurate idea of it, but find
that many of my ideas were errone-
GUS. It was the greatest conflict in
modern times, and doubt If it will
ever be equafed."
Mr.. Kern declared himself in favor
OF the Lincoln highway, and hoped
