THE DANGER SIGNAL, You can't fool the sun all the time —not even that republican organ of sweetness and light, the New York Sun. ‘'lf the prevalence In all parts of the country." says that paper, "of purely local causes regularly defeating republican candidates for con-1 gress, for county and town offices and delivering republican strongholds to the democratic party has no particular significance, we confess that we are unable to conceive of any political danger signal that would be worthy of serious attention.” Commenting on the above, the New Orleans State says that the New York paper "1b not so foolish as to shut its eyes to the fact that the Roches ter revolt and other recent republican defeats, show the voters are manifesting their dissatisfaction with republican policies and practices, hence it is absurd to attribute the party disasters to local causes when the whole country is in a ferment of tariff agitation because of the monopoly prices the people have to pay for everything they eat and wear.” And this ferment of tariff agitation has really only just begun. It will not end until the tariff question is settled and settled right. In spite of the fact that Wade H. Ellis was given a leave of absence from his duties as official trust-buster of the Taft administration in order that he could give all of his time to “saving Ohio,” it apepars that the republicans of that state have engaged in a throat-slitting contest which bids fair to finish them after the fas .- ion of their Indiana brethren.

BACK FROM GARY Herman Yager and Charles Niblick Attend Annual K .of C. Convention. RICHMOND NEXT TIME Pleased With Gary—City of Wonderful Growth — Visit Steel Plant. Herman Yager and Charles Niblick returned Wednesday night from Gary, where they represented the local I Knights of Columbus order at the annual state convention Tuesday and Wednesday. They report a splendid covention, about one hundred delegates from the various councils over the state, besides a large number of other members, being in attendance. The convention next year will be held at Richmond May 10th. Besides the pleasure and interest resulting from the convention, the Decatur men derived much pleasure from a visit to this hustling city, which is said to have had the most rapid growth of any city in the world. They brought with them some views demonstrating this without a doubt. One shows the mayor, with others, in 1906, laying out the town in what was then a park-like clearing, with not a house in view. A picture of the spot in 1907 shows the place taking on the appearance of a town, with a number of beautiiul dwellings and tents, with the streets partially opened and improved. A picture of 1910 shows a most up-to-date city of 20,000 inhabitants, with the beautiful and commodius dwellings and business houses, and miles and miles of paved streets, cements sidewalks and many large buildings, in- ' eluding fine hotels that would do justice to a large city of the east. The ; Decatur men paid a visit to the large ; steel plant and were shown over this . ' wonderful structure, watching it in operation. , —: O , We advertise to send our 5-ton steel frame Pltiess scale on approval. Misunderstanding a letter from a dealer who only wanted a price we will soon have ? scale at Decatur, which will be sold at a reduction to save storage or reshipping. The first reasonable offer will be taken. Address Jones of Binghamton, K St., Binghamton. N. Y. 103t4
