CHICAGO. October 8-Mnfteen thousand
ohool children starving In Chicago
among the causes lack of employment of
parents and the constant Increase tn the
oust of living without a corresponding In-
crease In wages.
This Is the startling announcement
made In the dally newapapera of Chicago
and which lyte brought gloom and con-
sternation to the managers of the repub-
lican National committee In this city.
They have been preaching prosperity and
the "full dinner pail" through the con-
tinuance of the republican party In power
and the maintenance of a high tariff. The
republican newspapers of Chicago without
exception have given this republican
claim the he direct. In publishing with
big headlines the report of the special
committee appointed to investigate the
conditions in public schools tiiey show
"that thousands f children are suffering
from .hunger and actually dying from
starvation in the great industrial and
"mrn lal city of Chicago.

FROM HI'NGKR
Tb Inter Ocean begins the horrible
story telling of the starving of the little
ns In ill' midst of "republican prosper-
ity with the following:
Five tJiousmid children often go to
ultool breakfast less. Folly Ip.OOO school
children of Chicago are underfed and
bnbituiiUy hungr Mm hers g to bed In
order t l:it t heir chl Mren may have food
In t .e morning Half -clad and . Tying
children ha been found on the streets
biggin:; dead fowls and rotten fruit to
CHt
These are some of the statements In
the report on indl'-nl children ttled with
the school management committee of the
iMtard o i atloii.
The Tribune t repulilican I says:
Many wnge earning mothers have In-
comes of net more than M cents a day.
Summarizing the causes which produce
the conditions oi hunger the same paper
cites "lack of employment" and the "eon-
ninnt increase in t tie cost of living with-
out a corresponding increase in wages"
as the chief reasons for the horrors.
Among numerous Instances the Tribune
cites the following:
In Armour school district Father out
of work mother sick; not a scrap of food
In the house . 11 ve children three half
naked and one garbed only In undershirt
crying for bread. For three days they
had lived on tea no bread milk or sugar.
fn Jonner school district One mother
supports a family of foui children on
a week sewing punts. "
In lMununoiid school district Family of
seven. No lood in the house. Father out
of wor k. W ent to lake to commit suicide
but changed his mind and committed mis-
demeanor In order to be locked up and
get prison meal.
In Southwestern dtstriet --Family of ..x
f ootid hungry almost crazed hv lack f
food Had I Ived five day:; on bread and
water and last loaf had been eaten for
breakfast
These are only a few of the nianv
which the Tribune cites out ot the thou-
sands reported
Uuring the present republican pani
hungry Midren have not even been pro-
Med with fiee soup houses.
RANK DKPOSIT AHUI MKNT.
Kvery day there Is a new concrete ar-
gument In favor of guaranteeing hank
deposits. The latest Is the case of Wil-
liam G. Corn well of J S. Uacho & Co..
"Wall street Nw York who made a
tnn speech at the bankers' convention
in Heiivei against the propsed guarantee
tf deposit or t Those who heard M:
Cornweil at lener would have been con-
verted to the guarantee Idea if thoy had
known that Mr Cornweli's experience ;is
a banker a Horded one of the strongest
reasons why depositors who pi.t their
money in banks should be protected.
W. G. Cornwell was the president of ;ho
City National tiank of Huf falo. N. Y
which failed on June 'jx isn because.
Cornwcll t xtended too much credit to the
directors of his bank.
Those bankers who have never failed
and who arc standing against this guar-
antee of bank deposits are also oppos Mi
to postal savings banks. They are mak-
ing a mistake for the people will havo
one or the other and the guarantee of
deports leaves to private Initiative tho
dev-'lnpment of the banklnir business and
keeps the money at home. The pontal
savings bank would destroy private initia-
tive and would take all the money to the
big centers.
KERNS SPKECH HEARS KHUIT.
The Kalamazoo spench of John W.
Kern democratic candidate for the vice
presidem y. In Which he arraigned Mr.
Koosevell for nullifying the civil pervl e
laws has apparently borne fruit. It ap-
pears that the president feeling the stlu
of Mr. Kern s scuihing criticism of tho
abose of civil service laws by Federal
f fire holders has decided to wit h draw
from the two republican headquarters
gfivi-r tn non t clerks who bold t heir ot f b o
by virtue of the civil service laws and
have obtained leave of absence from
"Washington to do. campaign work. This
debauchery of the civil service has never
before been attempt' l in a political cam-
paign and shows the extent to whl.-li
the malingers of Mr Taft h campaign
will go -
In his Kalamazoo speech. Mr. Kern in
tniphaslr.Ing this point said:
'"N'over before have Federal office hold-
ers gone forth ho inspired of h common

DENIAL FROM LA FOIABTTE.
Sume daya ago . preaa ra porta from
South Dakota quoted W. T. Le Follette.
a brother of Senator La Follette as aay-
tnc that the eenator wat at heart for
Bryan aad should really be a democrat.
In connection with this matter further
preaa reports quote Sir. La Follette aa
aaying:
"I hare made no euch statement in
Wlaconaln or elsewhere. I have been
campaigning- In South Dakota and have
referred to the La Follette planks re-
jected by the Chicago republican con-
vention which were recommended by
President Roosevelt In his special raes-
aage last February. I have said these
planks can be found In the democratic
platform and moat of J.hem have been
advocated by Mr. Bryan for a dozen
years while Mr. Roosevelt was talking
protective tariff and expansion. I have
not been In Wisconsin since July 26. and
certainly did not meet Charles Bryan
there at that time or last week."
CRANK AFTER BROTHER CHARLIE
When Senator W. Murrny Crane of
Massachusetts was placed In charge of
the practical end of the republican Na-
tional campaign he hastened to Cincin-
nati to confer with Judge Taft and also
"Brother Charlie." who is said to have
put up 760.0Ot) of his own finances to
finance the nomination of the rep;ihlican
candidute for the presidency. Now t h
story Is that 8enator Crune was mti li
more anxious to see "Brother Charlie"
than Judge Taft. and that his visit re-
lated to the financial needs of the cniiv
paten.
"Brother Charlie has been Informebd
that he will have to contribute much
more liberally than he did to yeeure for
him the republican nomination.
SHOPMEN FOR BRYAN.
John H. Converse of the Baldwin Loco-
motive works in Philadelphia well known
as a republican states In an Interview
that he has made a personal canvass of
the men In his shois and finds them al-
most to a man for Bryan.
"I was surprised." lie said "for- I had
supposed many of our men were repub-
licans. While I knew some were friendly
to lirvtan. 1 had not expected sui h a gen-
eral sentiment in his favor. It opened my
eyes to find that republicans as well as
democrats were Kolng to vote for him."
Mr. converse added that If the feellnx
among working men at large was what
lie found In their shops it whs difficult
tu see how Taft could be elected.

CHICAGO October 8. -The republican
congressional comn.it tee. which baa been
dominated by law defying trusts for
years does not mind a little thing like
violating a Federal statute. The com-
mittee has gone ahead this year a.s lit
former years sending out campaign lit-
erature In violation of the franking priv-
ilege An instdnre haa Just been dis-
closed wherein the frank of Congress-
man William It McKinley of Illinois
chairman of the republican congressional
campaign "innuttee was used In send-
ing to voters unfrankable material.
The speech of t 'ongressman Edward L.
Taylor of Ohio on "The Colored Vote" is
being sent broadcast under a congres-
sional frank This is all right since that
particular speech Is frankalno matter but
in the enxtlopv containing the appeal
f'.r the colored vote " are the following
pamphlets which are not entitled to go

Kvery Instance of this violation of the
franking privilege saves the republican
party 4 cents.

made arrangements to have Senator Iaa-
dor Kuyner of Maryland accompany Mr.
iir an on his second speech making tour
through New York during the latter part
of ilils month and deliver several ad-
dresses. .Senator Kayner haa notified the
committee of IJs acceptance of the dates.

speak in Maryland this week. The re-
ports from Maryland which were at first
regarded as doubtful are now entirely
satisfactory to the democrats. Senator
Kayner declares that the democrats are
united and working together for the suc-
cess of the ticket which he believes is
assured.
As a speaker Senator Kayner Is one of
the most forceful and eloquent In the

who neently sent out appeals for cam-
paign funds to officials of those corpora-

now sending out appeals to the people of
Illinois. His card Index however Is in
liiid shape and includes many democrats.
So ii happened that in using the names
which it contains Mr. I'pham sent his
appeal to the Shelbyvllle Democrat anion;
otheis. Mr. Isaac Storm editor of that
paper is a democrat and he has explained
to Mr. I'pham that he is too busy assist-
ing In the election of Bryan and Kern
to contribute to'slio republican campaign
luiul. ami has advised that gentleman to
bac his stationery and postage.
11 was only licsi week that the car!

not like to see their president taking

private opinion that what efrect the con-

t- the oi.enlng of the third day's seaBlon
uf the trans-Mississippi congTesa today

cursion about the harbor. The delegates

i oast defense work the government Ie do-
ing about this city an.l were given an
opportunity to inspect the numerous
posts where the big guns are located.
The eommUee on resolutions which be-
gan Its deliberations yesterday has
adopted for presentation to the congress
a strong plea for Federal aid for the

pui before the rommluee t .- the Hawaiian

only the I'acUic. but the committee
widened lis scope to lake In the Atlantic
as well. The resolution declares the
present condition of the merchant marine
to be dangerous to the military and com-
mercial -strength of the (country and
pledges the members of the trans-Mls-msslppl
o 'tigress tg work for the passage
of a measure in the National congress
liberally providing- fwr the expansion of
the count! y's mailtlme trade.
It Is believed that the delegates will
look with favor upon this resolution and
that its adoption will immediately follow
its presentations of the congress.

gress for the ensuing year as elected
