CANADIAN FARMERS HAVE THE BEST OF IT Abraham Lincoln once said that all of the people could not be fooled all the time. Os course this is true, but it is really remarkable how many people have been fooled so long by the word ’‘protection'’ as used in our politics. One of the stock arguments of Republican orators and newspapers has been that ‘‘protection’’ benefitted the farmers. American farmers, however, are not helped but are harmed by the Republican system of tariffs. On this subject the Columbia City Post says: “The fact that Canadian farmers are getting as much for their wheat and pork as American farmers is not the only thing in their favor. The great advantages they have over the American farmer is in buying of farm machinery, implements and tools, to say nothing of clothing and household necessities and building material, all of which are sold in that country for a third less than in this country. This fact can be proven by making a trip to any part of Canada and making a few investments. Especially is the difference in the cost of clothing marked. It simply goes to show that the protective tariff idea is maintained in this country for the benefit of favored few can Herive from jit. Wbjile the people are the losers every time they make a purchase.” The senate tariff bill “joker” is a big one. It applies not only to one or two items, but to the “whole shooting match.” After fixing the various schedules which have been discussed for the public eye and ear, the bill provides that “the general tariff of the United States shall be the rates established in the senate bill plus 25 per cent” Thus the $1.50 per

thousand feet «n lumber becomes actually For a real artistic ■ joke, Aldrich can beat even Mara Twain. —South Bend Times. — i The school book trust knows that the present governor of Indiana cannot be fooled even a part of the time. When this concern sent its agents into the state to change the books now in use and substitute its own publications, it felt practically certain of success. But it had not taken Governor Marshall into consideration. The governor was there for the people from the first to the last, and the book trust suffered a complete rout. By his good work, in which he was aided by State Superintendent Aley, several hundred thousand dollars have been saved to the school parents of the state. Senator Benjamin F. Shively of Indiana, who has the distinction of being the only Democrat in the senate from the section north of Mason and Dixon’s line and east of the Mississippi river, has already demonstrated the fact that he will be a strong member of that body and a commanding figure on the Democratic side. Although illness has prevented him from regular attendance upon the sessions of the senate, he has made two notable speeches upon the tariff bill which are worthy of care-, ful consideration. He demonstrated that the established rates in the tariff bill over which the controversy waged will not be the ultimate duties paid upon Imports, but that the real tariff will be the rates ostensibly imposed for retaliatory purposes. He , showed that when the Dingley bill < was enacted the rates were inten- 1 tionally made high in order to afford 1 an opportunity to make reductions through the reciprocity treaties which 2

were contemplated and provided for in the measure. Each one of these treaties was in turn rejected by the senate whose ratification was necessary before they could become effective, and thus the extraordinaryily high duties which the bill imposed were allowed to continue. He maintained that the maximum clause of the Aldrich measure makes necessary the addition of twenty-five per cent, to the regular rates and therefore will make duties already too high, absolutely prohibitive. This is a phase of the tariff situation which has not heretofore been elaborated, and one of the reasons is that few of the advocates of the measure really understand just what it will do.

AN UGLY CHARGE But the Friends of Bob Gregory Believe Him Not Guilty HE GAVE BOND Case Will Come up at Fort Wayne Some Time Later

Fort Wayne, Indiana, July 28. — ((Special to the Daily Democrat) — Bob Gregory was arrested in Decatur yesterday evening and brought to this city, where he was charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. The fellow claiming that he was defrauded is a young man by the name of Marker of this city, but the nature of the fraud perpetrated is not known. Bond was immediately furnished by Mr. Gregory, and the case will be heard some time later, upon jts merits. The exact truth about the trouble between Messrs. Marker and Gregory is not known, but it is said to be connected with the disposal of some personal and other property at Clear Lake, L where Mr. Gregory has been located for the past several years. The friends of Mr. Gregory are loath to believe him guilty of anything inteni tionally wrong, and they are of the i opinion that when the time comes , he will be able to justify himself in the transaction that has led to his arrest. He was cn the eve ot leaving 1 for Idaho, where he intended to pari ticipate in the government land draw- > ing, and will likely go there in a few I days. ■ —o — If people with symptoms of kidney or bladder trouble could realize their danger they would without loss of time commence taking Foley’s Kidney Pills.

For months Decatur citizens have seen in these columns enthusitstic praise of Doan’s Kidney Pills by Decatur residents. Would these prominent people recommend a remedy that had not proven reliable? Would they confirm their statements J after years had elapsed if personal ' experience had not shown the remI edy to be worthy of endorsement? No i stronger proof of merit can be had • than cures that have stood the test iof time. The following statement • should carry conviction to the mind Jof every Decatur reader. I John Oswalt, Elm Street, Decatur, Ind., says: “During the Civil War ! I was injured and ever since I have been bothered by dull, heavy pains i across the small of my back. When i I used Doan's Kidney Pills procured ■ from the Holthouse Drug Co., I did not expect they would cure me, but I must say that they have benefitted > me a great deal. I made this fact f known through a public statement in August, 1902, and at this time I can confirm what I then said. I have f since heard of other persons who have . been entirely cured of kidney troui ble by this splendid remedy.” i For sale by all dealers. Price 50 . cents.

EXAMINATION OF THE WATER Water from Maple Grove Park Has Been Sent to the State Chemist. Drs. D. D. Clark and J. M. Miller with Frank McConnell went to Maple Grove park this morning and secured a gallon of the water from the spring there, and this will be sent to the state chemist at Indianapolis for examination. There has been some talk about the water not being pure and in order to protect the health ot those who go there and to set at rest any rumors of this kind, this examination will be made. The water was sent out today and a reply from the state chemist will likely be received within the next week. It is not seriously thought that anything of a detrimental nature will be found in the water. o SUMMER HAIR DRESSING The disagreeable and repulsive odors that come from the hair In summer are caused by danruff.

FACT AND FAffi [AS TO Cream Separator DISCS In view of some would-be competitors’ recent unscrupulous ic"l tising a little plain talk about DISCS is in order. Every separator wise person knows that DE LAVAL DISCS'] olutionized cream separator construction—increased capacity. -I duced speed and power required and increased efficiency. The man who tells you that DISCS would not increase the liming efficiency—capacity and thoroughness—of any ••hollow k' | is either a fool or a knave. The man who tells you that it costs less to build a DISC “hollow bowl" separator simply lies and tries to fake you. I The man who pictures to you a great heaping dishpan hill DISCS simply tries to fake you if he intimates that the DISCS j DE LA\ AL bowl are cleaned iu that way. , The man who pictures to you a lot of DISCS strung along a Pj fence simply tries to fake you if he intimates that tbe DISCS .

The man who would have you believe that the up-to-da« | LAVAL bowl is not the easiest, quickest and most thoroughly able—and hence the most sanitary—of any separator made st 1 tries to false you. It is a fact that some imitating DISC and BLADE separators | hard and difficult to clean, as are also the muzzle-loading f !1 ‘ | rel like TUBULAR shaped bowl kind, but the DISCS of a bowl are readily cleaned—as a singlepiece—by a special’ pa‘X j tected DISC transfer and washer, andthe whole machine is abso a sanitary throughout. It is a fact that the DE LAVAL Company is suing infritp L| some of its numerous patents covering different forms o f “J construction, but the man who tells you that such separator* J like or as good as the DE LAVAL simply lies to serve some > purpose of his own.
