At last, after many years, all intelligent men are beginning to see clearly who the sacred Dingley tariff works for. It is not only the “handmaiden,” but is the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker and the rest of it for the trust. The building permits issued in July of this year in the pricipal cities of the country show a falling off of ,10,000,000 when compared with July, 1906. In all pasts of the country there has been a decided check in the building of homes. The lumber trust, backed up by the tariff, has about killed the goose in its haste to get the golden egg. With six for sure democratic candidates for the nomination for governor, and three more about ready to say the word, the next democratic state convention ought to prove a lively and enthusiastic affair. There are a good many republicans out for the nomination also, but not so many as can be found in the democratic camp. The general impression is that something is going to happen in Indiana next year.—Columbia City Post. The Kansas City Star calls attention to the faci that the report of Commissioner of Corporations Herbert

Knox Smith on Standard Oil prices, domestic and foreign, is not complete. The Star explains: “High prices are attributed solely to the Standard's ! monopolistic power, and the monopoly is attributed to preferential railroad I rates and other favors exacted by the corporation. But Mr. Smith shows •hat Standard Oil demands about twenty-seven per cent more for its products in this country than it gets for the same products in Europe. Russian competition, in Europe, keeps down European prices. But Russia is , estopped from competing in the United States by a tariff that gives Standard Oil about 150 per cent “protection:” But for the tariff Standard Oil would be compelled to make substantially the same prices at home as abroad. But this is a fact that a republican commissioner of corporations can hardly be expected to put into his report. Nevertheless a report without it is not complete. More than that, it is misleading and to a considerable extent ineffective.” The increasing activity of woman suffragists in this country and England is amusing in view of the attitude of the majority of women both here and abroad on the question. In an article by Miss Carolina E. S'jephen that appeared in The Living Age early this year, a point was emphasized that is often overlooked. It is for women to decide whether they want the ballot, and until a clear majority of them declare unmistakably for it, it would be both unwise and unjust to impose upon them against their will the grave political responsibility which intelligent voting implies. At present the evidence is that they do not wish to assume this responsibility. A few years ago in Massachusetts the state leigslature asked the women to vote on the suffrage question and less than four per cent voted affirmatively. At the present stage of the question it would seem that the woman suffragists have first to convince the women that they want to vote. This accomplished the men will begin to take the question seriously. But not before. —South Bend Times.

Decatur Champs were in fettle form Sunday and took a double header from the Quakers. The first was a twelve inning battle, which Decatur won 5-3. It was due to the masterly pitching of Mr. Engle who let them down with only six hits in twelve innings. Engle is one of the greatest southpaw's who ever twirled in this section of the country. The second game was easilywon 6-2, with the big Ossian wonder on the slab letting the Quakers down with four hits. As usual he kept them guessing at all times. Both Decatur pitchers were given good support by the marvelous fielding of Behringer and Cullen. When the games were over the large crowd went home with their heads bowed down in sorrow. While the little band of Decaturites headed by Mose Krohn, left the field in glee. Once more the Decatur Champs are tied for first. They are beyond doubt the best road team who ever traveled. Begging all the fans to assist in our race for the flag, we are still for you. Humpty Pierce.

SATURDAY GAME We lost the first of the aeries in a

pitcher s battle. The game was lost by a little reckless base running. Laxon pitched great ball, but the team failed to hit behind him when hits were needed. So the Decatur Champs went down in a hard fought victory. Decatur. AB R H PO A E Behringer, 2b.. 2 0 11 p 0 Pierce, rs .... 4 0 1 2 0 0 Cullen, 3b .... 4 0 11 2 0 Weber, lb ... 3 0 0 71 1 Burns.

TIMES ARE GOOD New York World Collects Opinions EAST FLURRY NOT DANGEROUS No Panic Likely to Result —All Classes Report that no Clouds are in Sight in Business World. New York. Aug. 25. —Are conditions such throughout the country that hard times are coming? The World through its correspondents has asked this question of merchants, bankers, manufacturers, capitalists and farmers in every section of the United States. The answers given today show a wide divergence of opinion as to the present situation. In the financial centers of the east a contraction in business is generally conceded. That it will lead to hard times is not believed. General manufacturing, however, even in the east is reported to be enjoying high prosperity, the textile industry being especially favored. In the west the reports show that commerce is still going on at high pressure. Counting on fairly good crops the fear of hard times is generally scouted. In the northwest prosperity is relied on to continue. The south also reports conditions looking to a continuance of good times. Here and there a warning is sounded and by a few the prediction is made :iiat hard times are coming. In nearly all sections a reasonable conservatism is urged and the remark frequently is made that the “pace has I been too fast”
