The Great Northern Indiana Fair is next. Every loyal citizen of Adams county and we are all nothing if not loyal—should begin to arrange affairs of state for at least two days at the fair. It is going to be greater, grander and better this year than ever before, and Adams county should show their appreciation of the efforts of the association by their attendance. Sumner a Washington corresponddent who seems to have inherited the shoes of Walter Wellman, as the mouthpiece of the administration, announces that President Taft will discuss the tariff question quite extensively in his tour of the country in the fall. In the published itinerary, Indiana was not on the map. And it may be well that it is not. If Taft were to come to Indiana and undertake to uphold the tariff bill that was “too iniquitous - ’ for Beveridge to swallow, inquisitive Hoosiers might be inclined to bombard him with questions that might be embarrassing.—Columbia City Post Governor Marshall has gone to northern Michigan for a well-earned vacation. As Governor Harmon of Ohio is also booked for a sojourn in that region the political writers think that, perhaps, these two eminent Democrats will meet and discuss the

next presidential campaign. This, of course, is mere hot weather gossip. It is a fact, however, that both Governor Marshall and Governor Harmon are widely talked of in connection with the next nomination for the presidency. Ohio Democrats have already launched something in the shape of a boom for their leader. Indiana Democrats are ready to get in behind Governor Marshall with enthusiasm when the time comes. But it is nearly three years before the national convention will meet and there is no need for haste. Governor Marshall would make an admirable candidate and the people of the country have their eyes on him. He is a big man now and he will grow bigger. The indications are that he will be made the national leader in 1912 and if that comes about he will be elected. Readers of this paper will remember that the Democrat has more than once predicted that President Taft, as soon as the tariff bill should be finished and adopted by both houses, would claim for the work a downward revision. The new bill signed last Thursday is an incomparable juggle, finally agreed on by a conference committee packed in the most unblushing manner with members who were committed against a reduction of rates, as dictated by the trusts. And now Mr. Taft is delighted at the outcome. He claims for himself a triumph for the fulfillment of his promises last year. An ugly fact, however, is staring him in the sac Mr. Aldrich, Mr. Cannon and all the other high protectionists in the country are chuckling over the real victory which they have won in saving the Dingley law from harm. As against small concessions upon unimportant duties, heavy advances have been made upon articles in which the mighty trusts are interested. The revision has been juggled, 80,000,000 consumers are buncoed afresh and a gigantic farce is consummated. The Republican insurgents must swallow their medicine.
