Asking the Ex-Judge Em-
barrassIng Questions

The Daily Standard, which seems to
have some inside information, wants the
voters to ask eX-Jndge Younger his part
in certain little affairs that distinguish a
Bull Mooser from a Standstill, or where
at-he-is-at i'll the pilgrimage toward Salt
River. Hear it:
'Since the Republican State Conven-
ton at Columbus, and since the Bull
Moose meeting here, a great many voters
would like to know where c. S. Younger
stands. Is he Bull Mooser or is he a
Republican? Come across, Mr.. Younger,
and show your Colors. You know when
a man tries to carry water on both
shoulders lie is apt to spill the whole
thing.
1t is said by some people that Mr.
Younger secured the nomination for
Probate Judge on the Republican ticket
last May, but since that date there has
been a change of heart. Now Mr.. Not-
er, If you want to know the truth about
this matter you might ask Mr.. Younger
what he was doing at the Republican
State convention, and ask him if he is
personally acquainted with anyone that
labored about all night with the dele
gates to the State Convention, trying to
get them to nominate Walter Brown as
the Bull Moose candidate for Governor of
the State of Ohio. Now, Mr.. Voter, if
{ S Younger will not tell you the truth
about this matter, you might go to the
delegates themselves and get the abso
lutte truth.

THE STANDARD
OIL COMPANY
Favored by Republican Supreme
Court Judge, Now a
Candidate.

A review of the fight that former
Attorney General Frank S. Monnett,
a Democrat, made against the Stand.
ard oil trust discloses another reason
why the supreme court Of Ohio
should be further cleansed.
When Mr.. Monnett left office he
had several suits Of custer pending
against subsidiary companies of the
Standard oil company.
The United States supreme court
found them all guilty, after four years
OF trial, while the state supreme
court, under Attorney General Sheets
his successor, promptly dismissed
them all as ill-founded and refused to
make the defendant companies ans
wer the interrogatories attached to
the petitions, and threw out all the
petitions, depositions and evidence,
at the expense Of the state.
Judge Spear, the present candi-
date for the short term on the SUI
preme bench, was then on the bench
and voted with the rest of the Repub
licans to dismiss these trust suits
upon the motion OF Attorney General
Sheets.

court justices

HOW TIM PAID HIS
OFFICE EXPENSES
Attorney General Collected $65,17s.1o
His Predecessor Failed to Get.

When "Tim" Hogan entered the at
to7ney generals Office to assume his
duties, he found left over stack of
unfinished work that would have dis
couraged many men and caused them
to think of resigning. But it did not
have that effect on Hogan, who be-
came acquainted with work very early
in life and through long years of as
sociation has always liked it.
Tim didn't waste any time, but i'm
mediately set to work with a great
deal more vigor and energy than had
been seen around the state house for
many year He and his assistants
dug into delinquent tax claims against
big corporations that had been to
peaceful slumber for years in pigeon
holes. There were hundreds of these
claims amounting to thousands OF
dollars.
Acting on the theory that if the in
dividual could pay, corporations
should, Mr.. Hogan vigorously pur-
sued these concerns, with the result
that since he took Office he has col
lected $65, 1910 in fees and penalties
that his predecessors should have
garnered in. He realized sufficient on
these claims to more than pay the en-
tire inside operating expenses of the
attorney generals Office for the year
1912, which aggregated $63,8O0. HIS
total delinquent tax collection since
his incumbency reached the enormous
amount of $165,674.74.

reau Bulletin now at hand.
Note is made of 6, ,36l 502 farms of all
kinds inthe United States. OF 3,94S, ,722
of them l 1927 ,439 are mortgaged, an in
crease in 1910 of nearly Is per cent over

OF the remaining ZAP, $50 farms the
Bureau discreetly makes no report on the
subject of mortgages. OF these So, l04
are operated by managers and 1854, 676
are occupied by tenauts.
The Bureau has something to say alb out
mortgages not being necessarily an indi-
cation of hardship and about greater in
creases i'll the value of farm lands than in
the aggregate of debt, but it does not and
it cannot explain or excuse the appalling
growth of tenantry.
No matter what the Bureaucrats at
Washington may say, these figures taken
all together, show where the blight of
privilege, plutocracy, jingoism and ex-
travagance has fallen. We have agricul-

EMERSON IS
EXONERATED

That the act OF Russell o. Emerson,
the railway detective, who shot and kill
ed Bob Boughman, formerly of Munciet
at Upton, when the latter refused to
submit to arrest, was justihable, is the
statement made BY Coroner Reagen, OF
Upton county in his verdict recently
returned. Emerson is being held by
Upton officials on charge OF mrrder
lie was employed as brakeman on the
l.. l.. & w. railroad at the time of the
shooting.
In his report the coroner says he
found on the person of Baughman fifteen
fused dynamite caps used TO explode
nitro-glycerine, a fashlight and an
electric battery for a llashlight used to
make sparks TO ignit fuses to explode
nitro-glycerine when experts are crack
ing safe, two large and sharp razors,
two skeleton keys and twenty-five car
tridges,
In conclusion the coroner states
Baughman was a dangerous man and a
desperate character. And the fact that
Emerson knew and was acquainted with
the dangerous and desperate character of
said Baughman. and being commanded
by Officer McCulloch to help get said
Baughman, /, the coroner OF Upton,
Ind, believe the act OF said Emerson
was justifable and heaatily recommend
his release and freedom, -Muncie (lnd.

RAILROAD LABOR LEADER
Asks His Fellows to Vote for Wilson
and Marshall.

Fred L. Fetch, Indiana's railroad
labor leader, is advising railroad en-
ployes to stop, read, and think If
they do this, he says, they will cast
their ballots for Wilson and Marshall,
who, he asserts, are the best COVER
nors New Jersey and Indiana have
ever had, and the greatest progress
sives of modern times.
1.-THE labor organizations are on the
threshold of the greatest catastrophy
in this country" said Mr.. Feick. "a
large majority of our people are dis
satisfied; discomfort is seen every
where, all because our government
under Republican rule has been run
for the benefit of the few. The labor

emily vote for Wilson and Marshall,
because they have fulfilled every
promise made to the people while
governors of their states, and labor
in general Of New Jersey and Indiana
has unanimously endorsed the rec.
ords of these two great leaders.
Compare the records of Wilson
and Marshall as governors of their
states as against the records Of
Roosevelt's seven years as president,
and the four years of his chief lieu
tenant, Taft, as president. Can it be
possible that the railroad employees
have forgotten the attitude assumed
by the various railroad organizations

man who issued the famous injunc-
ton against the railroad employees in
1893, which was, in my opinion, the
greatest blow labor organizations of
this country have ever received?
Railroad men were thrown in jails,
their families deprived of the neces-
stiles of life, all because the railroad
engineers of a railroad organization
dared to stand up for what they be-
lieved principles of righteousness and
protection to their fellowmen.

Young Emerson was subsequently ex-
onerated by the grand jury at Upton
for the shooting OF Baughman, whose
life seemed dedicated to crime. His
death removed a hardened and danger
Gus character and the action of the coro-
ner and grand jury at Upton in finding
Mr.. Emerson guiltless of the charge
placed against him is to be commended.
Evidently without any intention of more
than winging Baughman, a genuine pub
lie service was rendered when the bullet
he fired found vital spot.

minated in the great Homestead strike

1893 was we'll under way when Cleve-
land came into office.
Under the same tariff law in 1893
there were more than $4,000 failures
in the United States, involving losses
amounting to $34600o.0o0.
On the other hand, after the Demo
cratic revisioG had gone into effect In
1894 the number OF failures fell to
1900. and the amount involved fell
to S173, 100000. or less than half. In

IT'S YOUR CAMPAIGN;
IT NEEDS YOUR HELP

If the Democratic campaign fund
were being drawn from multimillion.
nire contributors anxious to purchase
legislative favors at the expense of
the people there would be no need to
appeal to the voters at large for the
means to finance the campaign. The
sinews Of war in contest between
the victims and the bene6ciaries of
tariff eXtortlon and trust monopoly,
however, must be furnished in the
main by persons of comparatively
small means, and the contributors to
the Democratic campaign fund must
make up by strength of mum bers what
they individually lack in length of
purse
The recent statement Of the chair
man Of the Democratic general finance
committee showed that 17,116 individ-
uals have contributed in the aggregate
about 100000, and that about $750,000
more is needed for the legitimate ex-
penses Of the campaign. That would
be a small sum to a candidate who
could pass around the hat among four
trust magnates and get it back with
$450000, but it is large sum to the
OF Woodrow Wilson's cam
didacy, and everybody should chip in
according to his means without wait
Ing to see what his neighbor is going
to do about it.
