WINDSOR REFUTES LODGE. It may allay the pangs in the stomach, which hunger produces, to be told that the tax on imported goods does not increase the cost of living. Senator Lodge, chairman of the special senate committee appointed to Investigate the subject, and report before the fall elections, finds that the tariff has nothing to do with what we eat, drink or wear. Such assurance may alleviate the ache which the unsatisfied demands of nature creates. Across the river frorp Detroit is the town of Windsor, Canada, where a suit pt clothes, on which there is no tariff, can be bought for $lO, the same suit costing in Detroit not less than $25. The following table contains a sample of the difference in the cost of living in the two towns, separated only by a stream of water half a mile wide, to-wit: Price in Price in Windsor Detroit Butter, best per lb.. .$ .28 $ .36 Beef, cheapest cut ... .06 .10 Porß. mess 13 .20 Bacon, breakfast 19 .24 Cheese, per lb 11 .16 Turkeys, dressed 20 .25 Plug tobacco, per lb.. 1.00 2.50 Stetson hats 3.00 5.00 A number of citizens have approved the suggestion made a few days ago through these columns by a Decatur business man that this is the time to take some steps in the matter of a sane Fourth for 1911. If it is necessary for the council to pass an ordinance to do this they should make the start at the next meeting. INTERVIEW KERN (Continued from page 1.) the effect ot me respective speeches on the respective communities. But, whichever way it may be, Colonel Roosevelt will receive a warm welcome in Indiana, and whatever he says it will be listened to with a respectful consideration. Our people, however, have away of reading and thinking for themselves and are becoming more and more set in that way.”
