Herald, a Republican paper with some independence, set forth some pretty strong

views about the new tariff bill as it would stand when finished. Here are a few samples: Is not honest or equitable: “It will not be an honest or equitable revision downward. It will not be such an adjustment of the tariff as the country was led to believe by Republican promises that congress would make.” It will not curb the trusts: “It will not be legislation that will curb the power of iniquitous trusts to oppress the people. It will not be a law that will conserve the principle of protection, but one that will surely ten dto destroy faith in that principle.” It favors the selfish interests: “It will be an enactment that, as a whole, will clearly subordinate public interests to selfish interests.’* Republican patriotism gone: “Infinitely better no legislation at all than bad legislation. There should be enough lofty patriotism and stalwart Republicanism left in Washington to force the right sort of revision —revision downward —if it takes all summer. But apparently there is not” And so no. It is all interesting, but it is exactly what the Democrats told the people in the last campaign would happen if they again allowed “the friends” of the tariff to revise it There will be no reform of the tariff until the Democrats reform it on a revenue basis. Miss Sadie Calderwood, of Dayton, Ohio, who has been visiting her parents near Berne, went to Fort Wayne this morning.

NO GAS FOR SIX WEEKS (Continued from page 1.) company came here to put on the finishing touches and execute the uti. Thursday afternoon water was started in the tank and early Friday morning it was detected that the liquid was escaping from a large number of leak hole, evidencing the inferiority of workmanship. The company was notified of the defective condition of the tank and they ordered the tank torn completely down and rebuilt from base to top, which task has been begun. Consequently at least six weeks more time will be required to complete the receptacle and this will mean the expenditure of $2,000 additional,which will not only confiscate the profits of the Kerr-Murray company, but will render an actual loss to them. The tank in question is fifty-seven feet in diameter, and has . caparity of 109,000 cubic feet. A large force of workmen will begin Monday the work of razing the iron structure. o— WORRIED OVER GAS QUESTION And the Fact that Decatur Will Soon Have the Use of this Luxury. I Andy McGaldrick, who has been working with the Indiana Lighting > company’s pipe liners betwen Kingsland and Decatur, returned to Bluffton last night and reported that the ( line was completed into Decatur yesterday and connection made with the big storage and supply tank in that ] city, said the Bluffton News of last , evening. The city of Decatur will be ( supplied with gas within two weeks ( or so. The men who have been work- , ing on the pipe line gang say that the , pipe is unloaded at Kingsland for the j extension of the line to Bluffton, but ( the company has issued no orders yet ( to lay this pipe. The common report among the men is that the company intends to make another effort to get an amicable agreement with the Bluff- j ton city council for entering this city with artificial gas lines, and interest- { ing developments may result. It was currently reported this morning that t a special session of the city council f would be held tonight to take up the ( matter, but when Mayor Hamilton was j interviewed he stated emphatically that there will be no special session { called. He said that there was no necessity of a special session as the , council had been meeting regularly } and the company was aware of meet- j ing nights, and that If the matter c comes up again it will be at a regular , meeting. Arthur Glass, who has been working on the Kingsland-Decatur line, came to Bluffton this morning f with his team and is helping load the ten inch pipe being exacavated south of Bluffton. It is being loaded onto j cars here for shipment 3Sr. Glass said < that the gang was split at Decatur f part coming here and part being sent to lay a line between Frankfort and Lafayette. t

TIME TO EXPLAIN (Continued from page 1.) Its should understand, too, that the house of representatives whose members are fresh from the people, had no band in framing many of the more important provisions of the bill. The new maximum and minimum provision, the corporation tax, the customs court and the authorization for the president to employ experts under the administration provision were never before the house for consideration ,and there will be opportunity to vote on them as separate propositions when the conference report is adopted. It is a thoroughly ugly mess. President Taft is coming out of the affair with a good deal of credit He has probably done the best he could. Weeks ago it was pointed out that with the bulwarks of protection not in conference there was not a broad field for him to operate in. By virtually tre&tening to veto the bill he has wrung a few rather unimportant concessions from the Aldrich-Hale-Cannon crowd. Whether he could have gone farther without defeating the bill will always be a question. Unquestionably he felt that he demanded all he could possibly get. His demands were along the line of the concessions on which the ten Republican progressive senators insisted when the bill was tn committee of the whole senate, and most of them, while not at all satisfied with the bill as a whole, are disposed to vote for the conference report. Their program is to support the report and at the session which will open next December enter on a campaign for a real tariff commission which shall, before there is another revision, study all the great schedules.

Frank, of Sturgis, had recently taken unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Mabel King of Sturgis, and that they had been out here visiting with him and other relatives. Mr. Frank will be seventy years of age if he lives until next February, and he shows every sign that he will. —Willshire Herald. Policeman Fisher nabbed a well known young man last evening while he was in the act of hopping a freight train and promptly arrested him. The officers will posotively not stand for any of this kind of work and in making the arrests do it for the good of the boys, for such practices as jumping on and off moving trains trains is a very dangerous one, and often results in the loss of a leg or arm or even the boy’s life.
