LET’S HEAR FROM SENATOR BEVERIDGE We are glad to know that the insurgent leaders do not propose to allow the regulars to “get away" with their defense of the iniquitous tariff law under which we are now living. The insurgents are bound to tell the people the truth about this business. They owe it to both the people and themselves to do this. We doubt whether there is much chance of fooling the people. But nevertheless few men know, or can know, anything about the details of the bill. Extended as has been the discussions these have hardly been touched. The bill itself, should, of course, be analyzed with the utmost care. We are told, for instance, that the duties have been lowered on the great bulk of what we consume. But we are favored with no particulars. As a matter of fact, many of these articles are not directly consumed by the people at all, being used largely by great industries, industries which have not lowered their prices. In other cases the reductions have been purely nominal, as in the case of the cut in the steel rail duty. It is as effective as it ever was in keeping up the price of rails. On the other hand the duty on steel used in building has been greatly increased, that is if the steel beams are ‘ punched.” as they always are. The bill, as we all know, is full of jokers, some of them were exposed while the bill was under discussion. But there are, no doubt, many others. Duties which seem to have been lowered have actually been raised by a change in classification. We have had some information in regard to the woolen and cotton schedules, and also as to the effect of thus taxing the clothing of the people, and the material of which it is made. Something is known of the nature of the “deal" through which this arrangement was carried out. We have heard of the power of Whitman, and the work of North in connection with the Dingley tariff. But there is much yet to be made plain, not only concerning the bill itself, but in regard to the corrupt methods which are always employed in getting through this sort of legislation. As we say the insurgents cannot afford to keep silent while the president, Senator Aldrich and Mr. Cannon and the congressional committee are telling the people, that it is “the best ever.’’ Such a judgment in favor of the bill is a judgment against the men who very properly voted against it. The people accepted their view and so far have sustained them. They are with the insurgents in their fight for popular government. But

whether they are to stay with them | 1 or not will largely depend on whether | or not the insurgents still continue to serve the people bravely and hon- • estly. They could perform no great- ( er service than telling the truth about I this tariff bill. We do not doubt that i they will do it. They are not respon--1 sible tor it. They warned the party 1 as to what was certain to happen, they 1 pointed out the evil features of the bill with great clearness and they urg- '• cd the leaders to pay some attention 2 to the party pledge and to the interests of the people. They were laugh- ■ ed at. The other men had the power and they used it. It is they and not the insurgents who honestly tried to save the party from a great mistake, who are to blame. But the truth must come out. The bill will be one of P the great issues, possibly the para- ’ mount issue in the campaign.—lndiA anapulib News. An Irishman being asked why St. Patrick’s day came to be celebrated on March 17th, replied with ready Cel- ’ tic wit: “There was a dispute as to 1 St. Patricks birthday. Some said it was March Bth and some that it was ' March 9th; so they compromised by adding them together.” That seems ’ to be the principle on which conference committees in legislative bodies usually compromise their differences on appropriation bills. —South Beni Times. -- Mr. R. G. Tucker who was slated and could have had the republican nomination for secretary of state for the asking, has declined the same, his , newspaper work making it impossible for him to accept such an honor. He is the Indiana representative of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and is among the . brightest of the many bright newspa- , per boys of the state capital. While the duties of such a place may keep him from shining as a member of the office-holding class, yet as a newspaf per writer seven teams of oxen could I never hold him down, and while his position now is an envy to the average newspaper representative, yet some day you will hear of Bob Tucker still t further advanced in the profession, ! and for which he will be drawing long 3 money—and he will be earning it, too. i in-1.-Ju.""v SUCCUMBS TO BRIGHT’S DISEASE a from page 1.) ?

An interesting contes' was that in which each guest was given pencil and paper and allowed twenty minutes in which to form words from the letters in “eighteen.” Charles Fritzinger made thirty words from the letters during that time, and as this was the greatest number he was awarded the prize, a bunch of carnations. A very tempting luncheon, consisting of sandwiches, cake, tutti-fruiti and coffee, was served, the hostess being assisted by Mesdames Martin Merhenke and J. C. Magley. Partners for luncheon were found by matching parts of Easter postcards. Miss Annice was the recipient of many beautiful presents as well as a countless number of good wishes.
