John W. Kern of Indiana Bryan's Running Mate One of Democracy's Most Valiant

ChamjM©ns--A Man ofHigh Ideals and Sterling Worth.

Excellent Campaigner —A Stump Speaker

Second to None In the Hoosier State.

By G E O K ; > : ; H. PICARD.

JOHN WORTH KEEN, the man who has been chosen by the \ Denver convention to be the run­ning mate of William J. Bryan,

Is known as one of the most valiant Champions of Democracy in the Hoo­sier State. It is true that in the ma­jority of the political contests in which he has figured he has been on the los­ing side, but that has not had the ef­fect of Lessening his popularity or relegating him into the obscurity which is the usual fate of the oft de­feated candidate for political honors.

It is admitted by all of those who are at all conversant with the political (' situation in Indiana that Mr. Kern is far and away the most popular Demo­crat in the state. This fact has been made apparent on numerous occasions. He has been twice honored by his par­ty with the nomination for governor and has also been the Democratic can­didate for United States senator.

I t is not by his political associates alone that Mr. Kern is held in high repute. Men of all political creeds have learned to like him and to ap­preciate his sterling worth. Although ever since his entry into political life he has been accounted an extreme par­l y man, he has never permitted him­self even during the heat of a political campaign to indulge in personalities

Kern's polhicnl Ideal, and he made ; point of training hN I-UM er son in tL. same faith. Om^i.ie of In-, iiimieiliati home circle young Kt-rn revived Httlt sympathy in his political predilection^ for Howard county was overwhelming ly Republican, and a follower nf anj other party was in a hopeless minority, Thus it was that the young lawyer traveled a rather hard political road in his early days.

A Man of Nerve. This preponderance of Republican

sentiment in his immediate vicinity, however, did not discourage him. He realized that he was fortunate in hav­ing established a reputation for ability and unriurhniL'ss in a community which was so opposed to him in political views, and he accepted the situation and devoted himself to the task of building up his business. It was not long until he had arrived at a legal eminence which seemed to him suffi­cient to warrant n flight Into the polit­ical Held. With this end in view he came out as a candidate for the legis­lature and at once entered on a vigor­ous campaign. Although the circum­stances of the case did not seem to jus­tify the experiment and all his friends were opposed to the venture, he ac­tually came within a few votes of se­curing the elC( lion. l ie carried the

JOHN W. KERN.

or descended to the abuse of any of his political antagonists. He is es­teemed throughout the state as a man ' of high ideals and pure motives.

In UJOO Mr. Kern received the nom- ;

lnati'in for governor, but he went down to defeat with Mr. Bryan. Again in 1904 he was given another opportu- i nity, but the sorry political fortune of * the previous campaign was repeated, i Although he was regarded as one of ' Mr. Bryan's stanchest friends, he was [ the first Indiana man of any especial ' prominence to come out for Judge Al- I ton B. Parker, whom he supported loy- ' ally without in any way endangering j his friendship for the man from Ne- \ braska. Thus It is that he is today one j of Mr. Bryan's closest friends and ad- I mirers. I

Mr. Kern is a native son of the ' Hoosier State, bora in Howard county, near Kokomo, in 1849. He is of south­ern extraction, his father having emi­grated from Virginia in 183G and be­coming one of the pioneers of Howard countj', where he practiced medicine f for several years. When John was five years of age his parents decided to remove to Iowra, and the family re­mained in that state until the lad was filteen. Soon after the Kerns had returned to their old home their son entered the State Norma! school and after a short period of preparation be­came a district school teacher in How­ard county. After he had succeeded In saving a little money he entered the University of Michigan as a ment­o r of the freshman class. . His means were not sufficient to ad­mit of regular attendance at the uni­versity, and he was obliged to take several long intermissions in order to earn the money necessary to complete his course. But he was resolute in .the determination to obtain an educa­tion, and he permitted no hardship to turn him from his purpose. When he was graduated he carried off all the honors to which he was eligible, and his record was most gratifying of any member of the class.

Successful at an Early Age. At a very early age Kern had de­

cided to enter the legal profession, and when he returned home from college •he set about the achievement of his -heart's desire without delay. As soon as he was admitted to the bar he hung out bis shingle in Kokomo and begar business on his own hook. From th< very first day he was a pronounced success in obtaining business, and bis luck in bringing his cases to a favor able conclusion soon became prover blah In an Incredibly short time he es tablished a business second to none ii the prosperous county town, and his prospects were exceedingly bright.

He came by his political creed very naturally. His father was a so called Democrat of the old school, having irn Wbed his political ideas in the atmos phere of Monticello, near which he was I j g r a ^ Thomas Jefferson was the eldei

city in which he lived, but could not secure the country districts. I t was actually a great triumph for the young Democratic lawyer, and it added im­mensely to his reputation as a man of nerve without iu any way detracting from his character.

In 1878 Kern was elected city attor­ney of Kokomo, and when his term expired he was accorded a re-election. While serving in this capacity he made an excellent record. During his two terms law and order were dominant, and it became a current saying in Ko-korno that there was no necessity to bolt the door as long as Kern, was, on the watch.

In the state election of 1S84 Mr. Kern was elected reporter of the supreme court on the Democratic tick­et. In this responsible position he proved most efficient and conscientious and won many powerful friends. At the close of his term he settled in In­dianapolis and soon became closely identified with the business interests and policies of that growing capital. He was elected to the state senate in 1892 and did admirable service in the legislature. From 1897 to 1901 Mr. Kern was city attorney of Indianapolis under Mayor Tom Taggart, the nation­al chairman of the Democratic party. He took a very prominent part in the great political battle of 189G and was identified with the fortunes of Mr. Bryan in the state of Indiana.

Redhot Campaigner. The gubernatorial campaign of 1904,

into which Mr. Kern was practically drafted by party demands, left him in an Impaired physical condition, and he was obliged to relinquish his business activities for some time and go away from home to recuperate. He con­ducted a whirlwind campaign that year, making a great number of speeches and traveling over a greater part of the state. He is regarded as a redhot campaigner and is an orator of force and eloquence. He was the friend of Hendricks and Voorhees and served with those gre*>t political lights In many well fought battles.

Mr. Kern is above the middle height, of slight build and active nervous temperament. An able constitutional lawyer, he arraigns the present Re­publican administration severely for usurpation of power and the state ad­ministration for its enactment of the so called "ripper" bill, which he claims was used for partisan purposes by the Republican governor. Mr. Kern is dark haired and has a crop of flowing whiskers and is a most impressive per-ionality generally.

Family Socially Prominent. The Kern family is prominent so­

cially "in "Indianapolis. Mrs. Kern is a brilliant woman, endowed with a live­ly wit, and the Kern, home is the cen­ter of a refined circle composed of the most Intellectual people of the notably Intellectual capital.of Indiana.

I t is no «:eeret that theTiern boom has been the particularly pet hobby of the Democratic chairman, Tom Tag­gart, who announced to his friends on the eve of IIIK departure for Denver that he should never return unless John Kern were given the nomination for the vife presidency. It has long been known iu Indiana political circles that Taggart has always considered bis friend to be first class presidential timber, and he saw no especial reason why he should not be given first place on the ticket if the Nebraska man failed to make good. Taggart's deter­mination to promote the advancement of his friend wa« the cause of much merriment at Denver, although those who are personally acquainted with the nominee are of the opinion that Kern is big enough to justify the chairman's admiration.

When His Aim Was Poor. A story illustrative -of Kern's dispo­

sition to grow restive under disap­pointment comes from Indianapolis. When he was a member of the state legislature he Introduced a bill which was defeated. It was a matter in which he felt a great personal interest, and when the vote was counted against it he rose in his place, accused the speaker in no undecided terms of kill­ing his bill, and, hurling a bulky type­written copy of the measure at the head of the presiding officer, shouted, "If you wTon't pass It, eat it!" For­tunately for everybody the irate legis­lator's aim was defective and the pon­derous missile went wide of the mark. The speaker saw the humor of the sit­uation and was disposed to make a joke of i t So it happened that the hasty legislator did not suffer from the consequences of his indiscretion. It is altogether to his credit that a short time for reflection convinced him that he had been an offender and he lost no time in making the proper apology.

The friendship between Taggart and Kern is really something out of the or­dinary- At the St. Louis convention the latter might have been considered seriously as a vice presidential candi­date but for his determination to put no obstacle In the way of Taggart's candidacy for the national chairman­ship. When the party leaders went to Kern and almost importuned him to permit them to use his name in con­nection with the vice presidency he de­clared that he would not be mentioned for the place because he wanted In­diana's share of the glory to go to Tag­gart, who was a man that deserved all he could get. He even went to New York to urge Judge Parker to stand for Taggart for the chairmanship. He obtained a proxy from a western mem­ber of the committee, and he it was who placed Taggart in nomination at the meeting in New York at which his friend was made chairman.

A Free Silver Champion. Perhaps the most telling charge

which will be made against Kern in the coming campaign is his more or less sudden conversion from an ardent advocate of gold coinage into a cham­pion of free silver at 10 to 1. It will be remembered that at the outset he was a gald advocate, speaking at a public meeting in Indianapolis in 189G against what he then termed the "free silver craze." The leaders of the gold movement remembered Kern's "deser­tion," as they were pleased to term it, and when he ran for governor they withheld from him many of the votes which he might otherwise have con­trolled.

But in spite of his somewhat mixed political tendencies Mr. Kern is cer­tain to find many warm friends in In­diana among the members of all par­ties. Personally he is liked by al­most everybody.

Schoolboys' Weather Observations. An Interesting methA: of instructing

boys in that part of nature study per­taining to the atmosphere has been de­vised by John Held, the headmaster of the Itockleford Council school at Yeo­vil, in England. Each day of the school week several boys are sent to the corporation gus works to copy the records of barometer movements and rainfall there kept, one or two less ex­perienced lads accompanying them. Meanwhile other boys note the direc­tion of the wind and record the tem­perature from readings of thermom­eters hung in the open on the north and south sides of the school. The teacher of the class then enters the particulars on a sheet and encourages the scholars to make deductions from the collected data. The boys copy the results, and every Friday they write an account of their observations in the form of "general remarks" on the week's weather.

Cobra's Fatal Bite. One of the deadliest snakes in India

Is the cobra, which claims hundreds of victims every year. An English offi­cial once saw one bite a fowl, and, be­ing curious to learn how long the ven­om took to act. he timed it with his watch. The moment the cock was touched it screamed, but at once ran off to its mates and began picking as if nothing were wrong. In thirty sec­onds the comb and wattles changed from red to black. In two minutes It began to stagger and fell down in con­vulsions, struggling violently until it died, three minutes and a half after It had been bitten. On plucking the fowl a wound not bigger than a pin prick was found at the extreme end of the wing. Round this spot the color was very dark, but the rest of the bird's body, excepting comb and wattles, was of a natural color.

The Bribe* That Failed. Among Father Dempsey's steady

boarders was a fellow named Delaney, He was drunk as often as he could get that way. Father Dempsey tried all manner of means to {,-vt Delaney to quit drinking. At last he said to him:

"Di-laney, my man. if you'll stop drinking for six months I'll give you a check at the end of that time fur SoO."

"Indeed, if 1 stopped f >r six months I could write you a <-he -l< for SlOn." answered Delaney, aiul Father Demp­sey in telling of it lit'-r added:

"And iuueed he could, too, for he's a No. 1 mechanic."—St. Louis Post-Dis­patch.

The man who saves when he has little is called stingy. l ie that saves when he has much is said to be ju­dicious.—Chicago llecord-Herald.

It was reported of the Hon. John Sharpe that he had but two fads where other schemers and speculators and owners of railroad lines had a dozen. One of his fads was the P. and G. rall-

1 road, in which he owned a controlling l Interest. He knew every foot of its I roadbed and kept himself posted on ail ' details.

Kis other fad was that his daughter Edith, having finished her school days, should interest herself in the P. a^id G. even as he had. If she had been cut out for an old maid or a business wo­man she might have obeyed orders lit­erally, but as it was she had to assume an interest she did not feel.

The Hon. John lived in Chicago, and his pet line was farther west. When tired of making money and fighting other lines on the; Stock Exchange or by some sly coup, i he would order the general superintendent or other official Into Chicago to report details and plan improvements.

If it wasn't the general superintend­ent, then it was one off a division or a civil engineer and, bridge builder. He had them at his house that his daugh­ter might hear and secure experience, and wThen they had departed he would go over the matter again with her to make sure that shfe understood.

When the civil ^ngineer engaged in building the bridge over Centiped creek was called if he and Mis's Edith met. The Hon. iJohn was in high feather that day. ' He had secured a mail contract over!a rival line and had been told that t^ie bridge could be built for $25,000 leis than the estimated expense. He stretched his courtesy to invite the engineer to dinner and to ask Miss Edith to play the piano after­ward.

Then two or three things happened that he didn't take cognizance of, al­though he was rated a keen and ob­servant man.

From that night Miss Edith began to take more interest in railroad matters, especially in the department of bridge building, and Mr. Havens, the engineer, sent in reports that seemed to necessi­tate his visiting Chicago much oftener than before.

As punctually as the clock the Hon-John Sharpe took a trip over his line in his own private car every three months. Miss Edith had accompanied him twice before her sudden great in­terest had come to the surface, and her enthusiasm over the third ap­proaching trip so pleased him that he patted her golden hair and feelingly observed:

"You are your own father's daughter, after all. You will come back better posted on the railroad business than any other girl in America."

"It must take a very brainy man to construct such a bridge as I have heard you and Mr. Havens talking about," she demurely suggested.

"It does, my dear—a very, brainy man." "And one pretty certain to rise in the

world'/" " U r n - y-e-s." The Hon, Johu had risen in the

world, and he took care to let the world know it. But he was rather opposed to any oue else rising, especially any­body employed on the I*, and G. road.

"Yes, Mr. Havens may rise in his profession," he reluctantly admitted, "but you must remember the social gulf now existing between Us. I or you and I are the owners of the P. and G. road. Mr. Havens is an em­ployee."

T en days previous to the start on the third trip the Hon. John discovered something that threw him into a fer­vid flutter. It was not that his daugh­ter in her enthusiasm to learn more about railroad bridge building was writ­ing to the engineer for further informa­tion about the cantalever principle or that he in reply was telling about the tensile strength of steel and the strain put upon it under certain conditions.

It was that a feeder to his line was about to pass into other hands unless he could secure enough proxies to pre­vent this at the election fo be held in Denver. He took off his coat and started in, and he came home one night with beaming face to say to the daughter:

"My dear girl, always remember that the first principle of railroading is to get possession of the road."

"But if you can't get enough of the stock?" she asked.

"Then get the proxies. Buy, borrow or beg, but get them. It is with prox­ies that I shall get control of the M. and W. I need only a thousand more votes, and they are in Denver waiting for me."

The Hon. John was rubbing bis hands when his car left Chicago. He enjoyed coups, and he was on his way to make one. He felt just a little sym­pathy for the already routed enemy. Defeat would come with a dull thud, whereas he rather preferred something of a battle first.

"Proxies, my dear," he said to his daughter as he took a bundle of them from his pocket and thumbed them over—"proxies are the powder and ball to desolate the ranks of the enemy. Blessed be proxies:"

At Santa Fe business detained him half a day. He had scarcely left the car when Mr. Havens made his ap­pearance and was received with a smile and a blush.

The talk between him and Miss Edith began about the bridge over the Centiped, but gradually came down to less scientific and more interesting things.

He referred to a hint she had given him In her last letter and assured her that he had acted on it, and he solic- :

Ited her permission to ask her father a certain momentous question before the , day had expired. That afternoon when ! the train had pulled out Miss Edith ! fluttered around for a bit and then I timidly asked:

"Father, what will happen if you fail j to get that thousand proxies you are j counting on?"

"Why—why, I'd be knocked into a | cocked hat. daughter. But I can't fail. I know just where they are. I shall receive a wire at the next stop. I am glad to se_e ypu, so_ interested in the

matter. Proxies are tne powder and ball, and I'm sure of the proxies."

Half an hour later the Hon. John was stamping up and down the car and roaring at the top of his voice. He had received the expected wire and had been informed that the party on whom he depended had sold the stock at a sharp advance. This was the biggest setback he had received m five years. It meant a staggering blow to the P. and G. While ke stamped and roared his daughter kept very quiet.

When he had got through smashing the English language he sat down hard and wiped his forehead and looked at the young lady with despairing eyes.

"Father, I don't think we are beaten yet," she said in reply. !

"But we are, daughter. Those prox­ies are certainly in the hands of that infernal M. and W. gang, and they have got me tight To think that I left it in the hands of Ohilvers to betray me! Why, I deserve to be sent to an idiot asylum!"

"But the game may not be lost after all. You know you have been trying to make a railroad woman of me for a year past."

"But tbn£ miserable Coil vers sold out his stock on me!" shouted the father as he brought his fist down with a great bang.

"Yes. dear, but that's a part of the railroad business. If Chilvers sold his stock some one bought it, and some one has the right to vote it in the meeting tomorrow."

"But the M. and W. gang have got it, of course!"

"Perhaps. It's a part of the railroad business to find out. You didn't want me to stop at grades, sidetracks, switchbacks and bridge building, did you? My dear father, remember that the first principle of railroading is to get'possession of the road, the next to keep track of stock and proxies."

"Girl, you know something," he said after a long look into her face. '

"Well, suppose the M. and W. gang didn't get that stock?"

He gasped for breath and turned pale,

"Suppose that a gentleman interested In our road got It?"

The Hon. John sat with his mouth open.

"Suppose that a gentleman, a real nice gentleman, a gentleman interested in—in—you, got the stock with the idea of helping us out?"

"By thunder, but I'd break his ribs hugging him!- Out with it, girl! Don't keep your old dad on the hooks this way."

"Well, then, Mr. Havens is in the Pullman ahead. He had to ccme up to Senta Fe to hurry the last of the bridge stuff down. As he knew how much you wanted control of that feed­er and as he knewr how interested I was In the railroad business he—he"—

But .the lion. John had sent the porter for Mr. Havens, and Edith skip­ped away to her stateroom. An hour later there was a knock on her door.

"Say, young lady, you think you're smart, don't you?" said the father as she appeared.

"I'm your daughter, you know." "Urn—y-e-s! Well, I've told Havens

that that bridge over the Centiped has got to be finished before there Is any further nonsense. After that he will be superintendent of the P. aud G., and If you learn any more about the rail­road business it will be from him. You are a little too apt for me."

THE HALL OF FAME.

A Persian Romance. A Persian plaque in the South Ken­

sington museum, London, bears by means of clever relief and brilliant color a romantic tale, part legend and part history. Nobody knows the pro­portion of each.

At all events it is declared to be an incident in the life of Baharam V. of the Sassanian dynasty. Baharam, ac­cording to legend aud plaque, was a wonderful archer. During one of his hunting expeditions, on which his fa­vorite wife had accompanied hltn, he shot a sleeping antelope with such pre­cision as to graze the animal's ear. The antelope awoke and, believing him­self annoyed by a fly, put his hind hoof to his ear to strike off the fly. A second arrow sent by the royal hand fixed the antelope's hoof to his horn.

The king's wife merely said, "Prac­tice makes* perfect," which touched the pride of her royal spouse.

Indeed, as the penalty for her plain speaking she was sent out into the mountains to perish, but instead found shelter in a village. Here she lodged in an upper room ascended' by twenty steps and, having bought a calf, car­ried it up and down every day. The king, passing by four years later, was amazed at seeing a young woman car­rying a cow up a flight of twenty steps. The lady again took occasion to remark, 'Tructice makes perfect." whereupon she unveiled, was recogniz­ed and restored to favor.

Enough to Keep Him Wait ing. "I hate to have my husband find a

horseshoe." "Why?" "He always brings it home, nails it

up and then waits around for luck to strike him."

"Well?" J'And there never was such a man

for finding horseshoes." -r- Cleveland Plain Dealer.
