Every commodity that enters into the construction of a modest dwelling house ought to be duty free, so far as the tariff is concerned. There was a time when a protective duty on glass was justifiable. But that time has passed. Window glass no longer needs special protection. Former infants have become giants. Lumber surely ought to be duty free. Ths; lumber industry needs forestry much more than it needs a protective duty. The more home owners this country has the stronger the nation becomes. Every encouragement should be given to wage workers to obtain homes of their own. —South Bend Times. Senator Burkett of Nebraska, a Republican, during the tariff debate last week, as told in a Washington dispatch “repeated the statement frequently made before that the interests of the consumers of the countrj' had been ignored in the preparation of the bill, and it was about time for them to be shown at least the same consideration that had been given to the manufacturers and corporations.” Thereupon Senator Aldrich, general Republican boss and chairman of the committee that had the tariff bill in charge, declared that most of the people who had been heard by .the committee “urged increases in duties,” and he “regarded this as reflecting the general sentiment of the country.” This statement is both bold and impudent. The people heard by Aldrich were the men and corporations who, under the tariff law, are allowed to tax all others for their own private benefit and of course they wanted duties increased.

of consumers were heard, but according to Aldrich land he will pass his bill) the "general sentiment of the country” is not created by them but by the protected industries, the trusts and other benefitted corporations. The men who control the Republican party do not care anything about the real general sentiment of the country. HOT SALOON LAW SUIT (Continued from page 1.) dismiss the appeal and after an interesting argument for several hours the court took the matter under advisement and will make a decision later. Mr. Leonard argued forcibly the fact that the auditor in making his transcript had failed to file a copy of the remonstrance with this case. o RULED AGAINST SALOONS Contention About Time Option Law Became Effective. Washington, Ind., May 22. —In the circuit court late this afternoon Judge Houghton held that four local saloons will be compelled to close their doors tonight. The first case decided was that of Joseph I. Gordon, who had filed a suit to test the constitutionality of the local option law. Then came the cases of Matthew Belcher, William Schneider and Harry Sherron, who had been granted licenses in the time between the passage of the law by the legislature and the publication of the act by the governor’s proclamation. Their contention was that they were entitled to operate their places without hindrance until their licenses expire. In these the court held that the word "passage" meant that the bill was transformed from a bill to a law upon its receiving the signature of the governor, and that it was not necessary to await the publication. - ■ o The seniors have practiced every day this week from one to six.

Washington, May 22. —Members of congress who are returning from Indiana bring interesting impressions of the views of Indiana people on the great tariff revision game that is nowholding the boards in the United States senate. Representative Edmund H. Hinshaw, a Republican congressman from Nebraska, has just returned from Henry county, Indiana, w-here he was called by the death of his mother. Ho spent some time at Gj-ensboro and’ New Castle. “Senator Beveridge is winning a great deal of credit for himself in that part of Indiana by the fight he is making for lower tariff duties,” said Mr. Hinshaw. “I find that the people of Indiana are not favorably inclined toward Senator Aldrich’s idea of tariff revision.” Representative W. O. Barnard, who has returned to Washington after spending several weeks in the Sixth district, says that he heand a ■great deal of favorable comment on Senator Beveridge’s course in the senate. "The people generally are with him” said Judge Barnard. “He will have no opposition for a re-nom-ination to the senate and if the Republicans carry the legislature he will succeed himself.” o ■■■ ■ ■ WILL RESUME MONDAY MORNING The Waring Glove company, which has been closed for a week on account of the lack of material, will resume operation next Monday morning and the employes are requested to take notice. o NOTICE.

AT THE OLD STAND It Was Not J. Q. Neptune Who Sold Dentistry Business SOME TIME AGO He is Still in Business Above the Racket Store Dr. J. Q. Neptune, who for twentythree years has practiced dentistry in Decatur, wishes to inform his friends and patrons that he is still at the old stand above the Steele and Weaver racket store, where he will be glad to greet them. The impression has gotten out among some people that Mr. Neptune has sold his business, when in fact it is his brother, C. E. Neptune, who has retired from the dentistry business in Decatur and Quincy is still here and expects to remain here. J. Q. Neptune has been continuously in business here since he started and during these years he has established a wide acquaintanceship over the county. In face of this fact, however, there are many people who by seeing the names of he and his brother, do not know them apart and consequently there are some people who think it was J. Q. w-ho recently disposed of his business. This is not true as he is still in business. o THE ROOT JUICE SENSATION GROWING.
