Editor TIMEs;-Wul You kindly per-
init me. through the columns of your
paper 20 give my side of the matter
relative TO my action and my conuec-
tion with the affairs Of the Stewart Ma
chine Manufacturing company of Ham
mond
Ia this connection desire to say
that ! Was nor present ia court during
the hearins fer the application Of re-
cetver and know nothing of the evi-
dence given 70 the court on the appli
cation for a receiver and on which the
court acted. ! also desire TO say that
am not now, nor have I ever been
either an officer or "a stock holder or
IN any way financially interested in
tire company.
It is true that in the regular course
a. business. with the best approved Sc
curity the institution which / repre-
sent loaned to the Stewart Machine
Manufacturing Company the sum Of
two thousand dollars $4,000. but that
same instead of being diabursed by my
self was used and paid out by and
through Mr. M s. stewart president
OF the company, / had no interest or
control over the money borrowed after
the loan was made The distribution
4 Of the money being no concern Of mine,
/ nor of the institution which l repre-
sent ! gave it no more attention tina n
i would have given any other borro y
money.
The purpose stated by the borrowers
or this money was that this money was
i TO be used for the payment of old labor
| claims and material bills contracted
/ by the former management of the com
/ par
! 7 believe that at that time MIR A. II
Taper was president and Joseph Weis
was secretary and treasurer. / also be-
lieve that they together with Mr.. 0tto
Knoerzer and J. J. Ruff was among its
board Of directors I fail to see " hy
this should in any way enter into the
application for a receiver, or be tht
subject for a receiver.
These Bills for which this loan va.
made. having been contracted some
time before the loan was made by th'
institution which ! represent, and j
seems TO be general knowledge tha'
the liabilities Of this company Is muci
less today than 1t was at the time tina
4 these bulls We're contracted.

POOR CAMPAIGNING METHODS

As this paper has so often pointed
out President Taft has been poorly
advised by those who stand close 20
him and another example Of the fact
is the way in which Secretary HiHes
his right hand adviser is fooltshly
spending money to boost his cause
and vet at the same time literally
contributing thousands upon thous-
ands Of dollars to q magazine which
is fighting him tooth and toe nail
AS the South Chicago Calumet points
out:
President Taft's MANAGEMENT for
the last month has spent thousands
OF dollars for page advertisements IS
the Saturday Evening post. This i
the leading progressive journal in the
United states and has probably done
more to create sentiment adverse n
the president than any other single

GARY AND TIE BALKANS.

Who would have believed it ave
years ago?
I When the Balkan war alarms
sounded a great change came over the
foreign 1aborers at the aGry steel
mills. They at once laid down their
picks and shoyels and the humble la
borer Of yesterday became the trained
soldier Of today
They showed traces Of their preyi-
Gus military training by Their excel
lent marching in Broadway, They
showed their patriotism by enlisting
at once for one Seryian regiment
had 913 men enrolled in two day S
time And the Bosnia, herzegovina,
Montenegro. Greek, Macedonia, Bull
garia aud Lika sons formed them
selves into as many battalions bring
ing the total Gary reservisds up to
2792 fighting men with a thousand
more willing TO go if necessary
more men than there are in the whole
Indiana National guard
Should hostilities ensue there is
every reason to believe that Gary viii
throw a whloe brigade Of reservists
into the field And who ever thought
that the sand dunes and scrub oaks OF
six years ago would be sending three
regiments Of fighting men back to
participate in q European war?

stroying picture Of candidates Of am

get the truth Of the matter2 I am
credibly informed that the telephone
company operating the line in Lowell
order their men to tear from their
telephone poles, the pictures and post
ers nailed thereon, because the tacks
or nails used to fasten them were
dangerous 20 their linemen, sometimes

John, the Indian, sat on the
edge of Uncle Sans little wharf
at McNeils island and gazed out
over the water.
Eight years me an him's been
here" the old trusty sah, "an'
he's been just that way from the
first. He's good Injun, one of
the best--a good worker when
there's work to do, friendly when
spoken to, but NOT exactly what
you might call a talker. Most
Injins is that way.
What's he here for? Killed
his klootch and got 20 years for
1t. No, he don't never talk about
it. And l don't never ask him
any questions. But l know how
1t happened:
"In a manner of speakin', it
wasn't him killed the klootch.
Whisky done it. They got drunk
an he beat her to death. Sober,
he's as fine Teller as you ever
see-white, red, yellow or black.
"Oh, John!" he called; you
goin' over to Steilacoom for the
mail? If y'are, here's gentle
man that's goin' back"
The Indian swung his short,
powerful body round, grunted and
turned back to renew his scrutiny
of the water and the distant
short line.
"Niost of my lfe," the old man
went on, 1--WE lived among In
juns. / amt been what you might
call an angel, but they's one thing
1 can say, and it's that / never
give Ticker to a Injun. / amt got
that on my conscience, anyhow.
I've seen what 1t does to 'em.
II was up in Killcat-that's be-
yond Juneau-more'n 20 years
ago, and l learned then that lick
er and Injuns is a bad mixture.
There was three fellers come into
Killcat and opened saloons. And
when tn Fourth of July come
round the Injuns, being patriotic,
felt they had to celebrate.
when they got pretty we'll
lickered up and noisy, the saloon
keepers got scarf and shut off the
supply. You never want to do
that with Injuns. Don't give 'em
none, or let 'em drink till they're
dead drunk or their moneys
gone. But shut 'em off when
they've got money to spend and
anxious to. spend it, and--well,
you listen to what I'm sayin'!
