Entered at the postofflce at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. A dozen men are rapidly putting the ' packing plant into shape to operate, Mr. Chatlin personally supervising the work. It is thought that two weeks will be sufficient time for the repair work, and the big concern will then be reopened. We have come back. The Decatur Motor Car company is working exactly fifty-four men now, and are growing with each week. An addition is being planned which will furnish space enough that twelve cars a week can be turned out. It is no longer a question of how many can be sold, but how many can be made. And now comes the news from Washington that President Taft will! not sign any of the tariff bills, but in- 1 stead will quickly put his veto thereto. This means perhaps the death of the wool bill, the farmers' free list. ■ and all other schedules. He hides behind a statement that he favors a tariff coommission. He will have a ■ difficult time explaining that position to the voter next year, and he will likewise find it difficult to say why he didn't reduce the tariff when he had a chance. There can be no doubt as to how the people feel Recently the Chicago Tribune conducted a campaign to find the sentiment. Out of four thousand letters sent out to editors of every political faith over the country, over 2,800 favored a reduction at once in the tariff. So man is big enough to oppose the people and just now they want tariff revision, and they want it quicker than a tariff ( board could be organized. When the president was working for his Canad-j ian reciprocity bill he kept silent, although the people believed he would stand for the farmers' bill. If he doesn't he will have to explain it better than it has even been done before to pacify them. Miss Emma Kinney was a visitor in Robinson park. Fort Wayne, today. Mrs. C. C.
