The women of the country are sending “petitions of protest’’ to congress, signed by tens of thousands of them, against the pending tariff bill. Never has there been such a hopeful sign of ultimate tariff reform as this. When the women fully understand how much they are affected by the tariff something is going to be done. The next general election is eighteen months away, but it should not be forgotten that the Democratic members of the late legislature tried to pass a bill which would, had L become a law. have made it Impossible to commit frauds through the instrumentality of illegal foreign votes like those charged In Lake county last November. The Democratic house did pass this bill but the Republican senate killed it. Governor Marshall approved it—he even was said by the Republicans to have been the author of it—the best citizens of the state wanted it enacted into law, but the Republican politicians had profited by the scandalous laxity of the law as it stands and would not allow it to be changed. A legislature ought to be elected in 1910 which will put this election reform bill in the statutes. CHURCH IS VERY PROSPEROUS Congregational Meeting of Presbyterian Church Held Last Evening.
