KERN RAPS THE PRESIDENT.
Calls Him Flagrant Violator of Civil Service
Principles.
"The people of America will, iu
my judgment, demand the right to
choose their servants free from of
ficial influence and effort of a Pres
ident who goes almost to the point
of violence in insisting that he be
allowed to name his own successor."
John W. Kern, the Democratic
Vice Presidential candidate, betore
a crowd that filled the big Acade
my of Music at Kalamazoo, Mich.,
thus assailed President Roosevelt
for his participation iu the national
campaign. He compared the Pres
ident's activity with that shown by
President Arthur in 1882 to bring
about the nomination of Chief Jus
tice Folger for Governor of New
York, which activity, he declared,
was rebuked by the voters of that
State in a most decisive manner.
Tne President, he said, from being
a "pioneer in the civil service move
ment," has degenerated into one of
the most flagrant violators of its
principles.
"Any attempt on the part of one
occupying high official station to
dictate a course of action to be pur
sued by the voters, either in con
vention or at the polls, is hateful to
all self-respecting American free
men, even if such attempt is cov
ertly and adroitly made," said
Kern, "but when such attempt is
made boldly and audaciously as a
matter of claimed right on the part
of the official, it is so offensive to
the spirit of our institutions as to
be regarded as intolerable by the
great American electorate.

THE SHAME AND THE REMEDY.
Justice Elkin of the Supreme
court of Pennsylvania is also involv
ed in the Standard Oil scandal.
He, too, appealed to the Standard
Oil company for help in an emer
gency. Congressman Cassell, the
enterprising contractor for furnish
ing steel furniture and space at
fabulous prices was in the shadow
of defeat and W. W. Greist, who
is now a candidate to succeed Cas
sell, was in political trouble and
Elkin interceded for them at the
vital point. Elkin was the fittest
man in the State to perform this
service, renrose could nave ac
complished the result, no doubt,
for the Standard Oil company al
ways wants legislative protection.
But it had plenty of lrieuds iu the
Senate and Penrose was all right
anyway.
Justice Elkin was practically as
sured of a seat on the Supreme
court bench. With the machinery
for fraud in Philadelphia and Pitts
burg in perfect working order he
couldn't have been beaten if half
the honest Republicans of the State
had voted against him. Nobody
had a clearer understanding of the
political conditions than John D.
Archbold. He was as dependable
in that branch of the Standard's
service as Mr. Rogers was in the
Wall street department. The Stand
ard was in as constant need of ju
dicial service as in legislative ac
tion. Therefore Elkin was the man
to appeal to Mr. Archbold in behalf
of Cassell and Greist. Hence his
letter four days before the election,
for the needed help.
But John P. Elkin is no worse
than the other leaders of the Re
publican party of Pennsylvania.
Quay and Penrose and Sibley were
alike active with Elkin iu the work
of perverting the government of
the State to the base service of the
Standard Oil company and ninety
per cent, of the Republican Con
gressmen tor the State are similar
ly involved. It is a shame that the
judicial ermine should be thus
dragged through the filth of cor
rupt politics. But it is equally rep
rehensible that the State Legisla
ture, aud so far as the Pennsylvania
influence goes, the Congress of the
United States, should be so smirch
ed. But the facts are indisputable.
The shame is proved and the reme
dy is in defeating the party.
Watchman,

ing have been reported lately. Dur
ing the fair there are always many
