The subsidy election is for a five thousand dollar subsidy in Washing-1 ton township and three thousand in I Monros township. It is not for a cent more. A vote for the Fort Wayne 4 Springfield right-of-way subsidy is a rote tor progress, and a vote for progress is a vote to make Decatur larger, and every foot of land in Adams county more valuable. Let's be up and doing. I The Fairbanks tariff proposal, which has just been adopted by the Indiana Republicans, will probably be incorporated in the Republican national platform. It is a shameless bid for the I active support of the trusts in the campaign—for the money and the votes they control. At the same time it is an insolent affrort to the common sense of the people. What the present tariff needs is not aervision “by its friends” —it needs to be reformed by its enemies. In no other way can the business of the country be benefited or the burdens of the every day man be decreased. The South Bend Tribune publishes the statement that James E. Watson "left congress” because of the low salary attached to the position. If this Is true, why didn't he leave congress several years ago? The truth is. Jim Watson left congress because the slump in his vote from 7,000 majority in 1904 to a plurality of about 1.000 in 1906 was a mighty plain hint for ' good and sufficient reasons, that he was not wanted in congress any longer. Add there are hundreds and ev-1 en thousands of republicans in the Birth district who are not afraid to tell why he was not wanted in congress.—lndianapolis Independent. Steve B. Fleming, of Fort Wayne, has been nominated for joint state senator from the counties of Adams and Allen. There was no opposition to his nomination in either county, though several aspirants had entered the race before Mr. Fleming had declared himself a ' candidate. Their withdrawal was a high compliment to Mr. Fleming, and demonstrates what a strong hold he has on the people of that part of the state. His father, the late Wm. Fleming, was for many years a power in Indiana politics. He was elected state treasurer in 1878, and prior to that time held a number of important and lucrative county offices. The younger Fleming inherited much of his father's political sagacity and prestige.— South Bend Times.

The Three Cars Under Construction Are Nearly Completed On account the non-arrival of several miniature parts of the three Coppock Motor Cars that have been under construction for some time, the delegation that was to pay a visit' to the factory today for the purpose t>f Investigating the merits of the great cars, have postponed their visit until next week While not altogether complete the three cars that have already been sold are nearly finished and wiii be delivered to their owners in the near future. Two of these cars are on axles and the other is ready for the axles. The cars under construction consist of a commercial car which is sold to Merkle Bros.. Cincinnati, commercial car (for suburban auto I and garage company. Cincinnati, and an omnibus car which has been sold to Dr. Dinsmore, who has charge of the Hunter Mineral Hotel located five I miles west of Attica. Indiana.

BARS OUT AN UNDERWRITER. Auditor Billhetmer Rules Against a New York Concern. John C. Billheimer, auditor of state. I will not grant a license to the United States Lloyds to transact business in ■ Indiana. His decision is based on an j opinion which he has just received 'from the attorney-general, who holds I that the state auditor has no author- . jty to issue licenses to such insurance I concerns. The United States Lloyds with headquarters in New York City, is merely a number of individual underwriters. who, together, transact an Insurance business, the liability of each underwriter being a specified portion of a given loss. There are 100 of these underwriters in New York, who. taken collectively, are known as the United States Lloyds, i There is no particular objection to the j United States Lloyds, it is stated, but the difficulty in admitting the | concern to the state would be that . it would lay down the bars for the admission of other concerns of the kind, and there are a number of them in the United States. o DON’T FORGET TO VOTE FOR THE SUBSIDY. Help the Decatur and Berne Commercial clubs in their efforts to improve the condition in general. The ' extra tax is so small that nobody can afford to vote against it ae the same . is to be paid in two years of four installments of 37V4c per thousand. a WANTED—A girl at the Anderson and Baker restaurant.
