TARIFF THE LEADING ISSUE There seems to be little doubt that i the tariff question will have a leading place in the Democratic platform. All reports, whether they come from Lincoln or Denver agree as to that. The [ issue will certainly be an important one in the campaign. The Republican convention without, of course, intending to do so, gave the question an importance which perhaps it would not have had. except for the remarkable plank of the Republican platform. The people, including practically all the Republican manufacturers outside of trust circles that are dependent on the trusts for their raw maerial, understand perfectly well that the tariff revisers and the standpatters ' are now together in favor of a revision that shall revise upward. For the convention declared in favor of a readjustment of duties in such away as to equalize the cost of production at home with the cost of production abroad, and also so as to insure "a reasonable profit to American industries.” There is probably not a protected industry in the country that thinks it has “a reasonable profit,” even under the present tariff. The only way, therefore, to give it a reasonable profit is still further to raise duties. As in such cases as this the (statements ot the heads of great industries are always taken ar gospel truth, we suppose that what they say will be controlling with a Republican congress. Since his nomination Mr. Taft has, in at least one public utterance, reaffirmed this declaration of the platform on which he stands. We think it is one of the most remarkable utterances ever made by a

Nebraska has furnished to our National Congress some of the brightest minds that liava ever adornc-d that great national legislature. Men of push and fire, men of great oratorical and intellectual resources, men who have done much to shape the destinies of the great western section of our country. Among these modern statesmen of that versatile, American type, is Hon. W. E. Andrews, of Hastings, Nebraska. Hon. Andrews was formerly Vice President of Hastings College, and established an excellent record as a promulgator of public education before he became a member of Congress. Speaking of Peruna, he says; ~~— ■'"' f ‘ 7 cheerfully recommend the preparation, Peruna, as a healthful tonic and a successful remedy for catarrh in its various forms.”—Hon. W. E. Andrews.

Hon. Thomas Cale, who was elected to Congress from Alaska, is well known , M a Ilia Pacific slope, where he -has resided. His Washington address is 1312 Ninth street, N. W., Washington, D.C. Congressman Calc writes of Pernna: “I can cheerfully recommend Peruna ks a very efficient remedy for coughs and colds.” Some people prefer to take tablets rather than to take medicine in a fluid form. Such people can obtain Pernna tablets, which represent the medicinal ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet is equivalent to one average dose of Peruna.

Republican convention. The only ar- : gument of late years advanced In support of the protective policy is that conditions in this country are such that we cannot compete on equal term s with foreigners, it has never ’ been argued that we could not successfully compete if conditions were i equal. Bnt now that is the claim. We are asked, to make conditions equal, to confess that a profit cannot be made when they are equal, and then to tax ourselves to insure “a reasonable profit” after we have compensated the manufacturer for every I disadvantage from which he suffers. We are to return to him the excess lof wages which he is supposed to payover those paid abroad, and thus to ■ give him as cheap labor as is enjoyed .by any manufacturer in the world, to give him the benefit of a cost of production as low as that which exists anywhere, and then, after having started him fair in the race, we are to go down into our pockets and give him a bonus over and above ail this, in order that he may make “a reasonable'profit!” In the old days it was said that we could not compete with 'foreigners because conditions were.unequal. Now it is said that we connot compete with them even when conditions are absolutely equal. Being unable to do so, we must increase taxes In or4er to help out the manufacturers still further. Such is latter-day Republicanism. Such is the answer to the insistent demand, even among Republicans, for honest and thorough tariff reform. We regret that we-are unable to congratulate the tariff reformers of ♦he Republican party on the result of their work. But really they seem to have .been badly beaten. It is to be remembered, too, that this platform was (prepared at Washington, that it was and is, approved by President Roose|velt, and that it was adopted by a convention that was (servilely submissive to him. So i represents, not 'simply Republicanism, but the so(called progressive Republicanism. The i “reactionaries” had nothing to do with [making the platform. That work was done, and done wholly, by the champions of the president’s policies. The platform thus points directly to the familiar form of revision—namely a revision upward. We are inclined to . think that this astonishing plank is

Hou. C. Slemp, Congressman from Virginia, whose home address is Big Stone Gap, Va., writes: “I can cheerfully say that I have used your valuable remedy, Peruna, with beneficial results, and can unhesitatingly recommend your remedy to my friends as an invigorating tonic and an effective and permanent cure for catarrh.” Mr. Boss Craig, Fork Vale, Tenn., had catarrh of the head for two years and had abandoned all hope of being cured, but to his surprise Peruna cured him sound and well.

the weakest one in the whole platform. There is not a protected trust in the land that will object to it.-r-Indianap-olis News, Rep. The Hon. Samuel Ralston, of Lebanon, who was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, is indulging the gift of prophecy. Mr. Ralston was in Indianapolis Sunday and staked his reputation as a prognosticator on Thomas R. Marshall. "The Democrats,” said he, “have not had as good a show to carry the state since 1892 as they have at present. We have learned a great lesson, which is that there is nothing to be gained by fighting each other. Old animosities have been buried and the graves of factional hatred have been covered with green sod. We are pulling together as never before since 1892. The people are tired of the fake pretenses of the Republican party, of ireforms promised, but not accomplished and this year there is going to be a house cleaning.”—Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. HAVE THIRTY DAYS FOR MOTION Attorneys for Herman Miller Are at . Work on Showing. Attorneys Erwin and Underwood are working on the written showing to be made in support of a motion for a new trial for Herman Miller. They have thirty days .in which to file their reasons. If the motion is denied Miller will be taken to Michigan City to begin his sentence. In speaking of .he case yesterday former Congressman Robinson, who assisted Prosecuting Attorney Thomas, said: ‘Tn addition to LaDuke’s statement, which was confirmed throughout by more than a hundred witnesses, the case was convincing and clear, even without the confession. If any one had a doubt as to the absolutely impregnable nature of the state's evidence, it was due to the complicated circumstances many of which coupled with other circumstances, and the witnesses to these being used on days widely apart, the connection could not be made by those who had not closely followed the whole case. In my experience in a dozen murder cases, I never knew one so convincingly proven. This was shown by the early and unanimous conclusion arrived at by a jury composed of our best citizens. The orderly and logical manner of the introduction of the evidence by Prosecutor Thomas carried argument along with it, and it was not difficult for the jury to s a e clearly the defendant’s guilt. The defense was all that it could be, but it could not prevail against the strength of the state’s case. Sheriff Grice and his deputies and the prosecutors did their duty well and can look to the jury’s verdict for their satisfaction.” —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. o Whea at Hoaglaad, call at the Midget’s Restaurant for Lunch or Meals o .

COURT HOUSE NEWS Mrs. Jim Hahn Files Sensational Complaint for Divorce ASKS FOR ALIMONY A Marriage License —Board of Review Closed Their Session A marriage license was Issued to (Jess N. Johnson aged twenty-three a farmer, to Leota L. Nelson, aged eighteen, daughter of Charles Nelson of this city. Peterson and Moran filed a new divojee case this afternoon, entitled Lena Hahn vs. James R. Hahn. The parries were married February 10, 1906, and lived together until last May. An incident of last year is related when defendant cursed and beat his wife, whipping her so bad that she had to remain in bed two weeks. He has frequently struck and beaten his wife and otherwise abused her, has failed to provide for her, has frequently been arrested. She asks for the custody of their only child, Clarissa Margarit, that the court require the defendant to provide for the support of herself and her child and for SSOO alimony. • — At ten o’clock this morning the county board of review formally closed their session, though adjournment was not taken until this afternoon, to permit any one so desiring to appear befor the board during the term, which the law requires to continue in session thirty days. The board spent an hour this morning at the Coppock automobile plant, where they went over the assessments for that concern. The board included J. H. Stone of this city, Peter J. Bryan, of Jefferson township. County Auditor Lewton, Treasurer J. F. Lachot and County Assessor George Gentis, the latter serving as president of the board by virtue of his office. But few changes were made in the assessments. Judge James T. Merryman is at Winchester today hearing an important damage case which may require several days. He;, expects to leave : soon for a fishing vacation that will rest him up in proper shape before the September term of court. The wholesale horse stealing epidemic continues in this part of Indiana and at a most alarming rate. Sheriff Meyer received cards from three different places, each offering a reward of twenty-five dollars ft>r the return of the outfit. A bay mare and buggy were stolen at Huntington, a black mare and buggy at Hartford City and a brown mare from a pasture lot near Fort Wayne. o — ELZEY’S CHOLERA BALM.
