Entered at the poatofXic* In Decatur, as second else* mail. The democratic members of the ways and means committee have presented a tariff bill prepared in consultation with t|je president. It goes a long way toward brjpging the relief which the democratic party has promised the people. If it is not exactly what each one desires it will be remembered that a tariff bill is a composite opinion of many persons, not the opinion of one alone. The bill, however, in the total reduction made , as well as in detail will commend it-] self to a large majority of those who desire tariff reform. It seems probable that the senate will pass the bill substantially in the form in which it passes the house; thus a united partywill speak immediately and emphatically for the relief of an overburdened people. Surely the day of jubilee is near at hand. —The Commoner. Republican papers which cling to the old idea that they must rap a democratic official whenever they speak of him, and that in so doing they build up their own fort, have been intimating that Congressman Adair will bolt the democratic caucus and vote with the republicans in the tariff bill as completed by that body, does not suit him in every particular. No one who know s Mr. Adair will believe such stories. While he of course has his own opinions as to what the tariff bill should be and will fight as hard as he can at the proper time and place for the changes which he believes will best carry out the party pledges, and

be the best under all the circumstances, for every one concerned, the ; thought of bolting woud be the farthest from his mind. To use his own words written in a recent letter: . “However, my own judgment may be wrong in several particulars, but un- ( der no consideration would I bolt th« caucus. I believe in the majority rul- ! ing and when our party in caucus decides wfcat our tariff bill is to be, I , shall accept that decision as being i the action of our and give thg 1 bill my hearty and enthusiastic sup-! 1 port." -1 —— . - ,

There are hats--and Imperial Hats. Some Difference! you’ll notice it in the style. I There is a limit to style and a limit to qua ity. The Imperial Hats “go the limit” You can “spot” a Imperial instantly by its style. The man who wears it bought it for that reason- and for the quality that is in it. 1..All the late novelties in exclusive Imperial styles. THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

In the stud season of 1913, the magnificently bred trotting stallions, Glideheart (52468) and Delaral by Greatheart and Delacyheart J 2:12%, will stand for season of 1913 at sls to insure standing foal, at my barn in Monroe, Ind. Glideheart is a handsome rich bay < stallion, 16-2 hands high and, weighs 1225 pounds; foaled 1906, half brother to Auto 2.04%; Wilksheart, 2:06%; Greatestline, 2:06%: Octo, 2:06%; .

Glideheart is a sure foal getter and he gets the right kind. He is only 6 years old and has two colts that are very fast and his coHs have never been beaten ■ in the show ring. They have the size and quality and disposition and all of his get are first class. And Pelarnl (50152) is the best horse that has ever been in this part of the country.

If you have a good mare don’t breed her to some horse because some one says he is a good horse or says he is standard bred or has a mark. Make them show you and if you don't know, investigate' before it is too late and don’t breed , to a horse that hasn’t shown you what he is. A horse that isn’t full blooded isn't fit to breed to. Their colts may look just as good while cuckling the mare but they won’t grow out and you can’t get the price when you wan't to sell. Some men will say his horse has a mark of so and so. That may be true and yet he never sired a colt that had any speed. The horse that gets the individual is the kind to breed to and Glideheart gets both speed and show colts and Delaral hasn't got any old enough to show speed but he also gets the size and quality. These horses are Standard and Registered under Rule 1, American Trotting as- ! sociation.

For further ipformation see Jim W. Andrews, the owner of Glideheart, Delaral and Nancy Moe, Monroe, Ind. I am prepared to take care pf you If you have a draft mare and want to get a general purpose horse. Breed to one of these horses or a mare th-'* is tiard to get in foal as I use a preg nator and all of the latent equipments and if you hart a re -stered mare I will get your bolt registered free of charge. j. w ANDREWS, 91t3 Monroe, Ind. —o— — OTTO HAUBOLD VISITS HERE.
