The snow drifts have put the traction lines out of business, the steam ears are hours late and there is a general stagnation of business. We are wondering how the Herald will connect the trouble with the Wilson administration. There ought to be some way. It seems to be such a satisfaction. “Some optimistic souls are predicting." the Fort Wayne Sentinel says “that the income tax law will soon be amended to meet objections that have been made to it and remove occasion for complaint. Despite the advance made in human progress, some few tilings still remain impossible. Doctoring up any sort of tax law so that it will please everybody is one of them.

The Republican newspapers have evidently decided to make a concerted effort to break down the Progressive party aud to exaggerate everything that comes to pass that in any way reflects upon the Democratic admini.,tration. They will engage in calami y howling every time the price of a doxen eggs drops or the price of a pound of butter decreases charging it directly to the Democratic free trade tariff law which lets in eggs and butter and other things from Canada. South America countries free. It was the contentions of the Democrats that t'ue reduction of the tariff would help tue sonsumers ot the United States, and it is to be expected that the necessaries of life will be reduced in prk--Somewhat, or that some of them at least will be r»'duced in price. But only those things will be reduced in price which were protected by the tariff. In the matter of meats, flour and other commodities which have always been sold in the markets of tlie world, the new tariff will have no bearing, for the reason that the price of them will tse controlled by the laws of supply and demand. But the calamity howling chorus of Republicans papers and statesmen who would rather see hard times than prosperty in this country for the sole reason that they could thereby once more get back bjto power, will be earned on with the warblers working over time, and nothing will be left untouched that they can find any excuse for harping about, uad the bull moowera will Ih> given bumpings at enury turn. —Columbia City Post.

RAILROAD DOPE Fort Wayne Says no Other Town Has Chance for New T. & O. C. Shops. OTHERS WANT THEM But the Matter is Said to be Controlled by New York Central Lines. The Journal Gazette says: The fact that the T. A O. C. has started survey of a route which will give it facilities for a direct route into Chicago from Pittsburg, is the reason for consideable excitement on tile part of business organizations for securing a promise of tlie company to establish shops and division points in their towns. Important among the candidates for the divisional activities is Decatur, ind.. which presents the fact that twelve years ago a survey of this same road terminated there and at the time the proposition was to establish shops and division facilities there and reach Chicago and Erie Railroad company. However, since that survey, the ownership of the road In question has changed hands and the New York Cenral system practically controls the T. A O. C. This will wake it impossible for Decatur to share in the race for the division shops and consequent economic loss to run trains over the Erie system when another New York Central line made the same point out ~»t Fort Wayne. The additional cost of mileage necessary in building the line to Fort Wayne would be more han repaid when it is understood that •here would be no actual outlay of funds in the payment ot trackage charges to the Nickel Plate, as there' would be if the line was sent through 1 on the Erie. Twelve years ago, when the survey . was terminated at Decatur, the ex-I tension looked like a sure go, but ! financial difficulties precluded the ' building of the extension, which w»* proposed from St. Mary's Ohio to De-' atur and nothing was done in the i nater until eighteen months ago when i he proposition was gain revived by he officials of the company and j brought to the attention of the Fort! Wayne Commercial Club. Here the! natter was considered and it was de i termined that Fort Wayne would do anything in reason to secure the di .isional shops and business, but no □reposition was advanced until the ailroad began operations. St Marys is proclaiming loudly that their little city is the correct point or the division but should the division tetween Columbus and Chicago. Fort Wayne is just half way between the wo points where divisions an- now “stabiished and the faculties Fort Wayne can offer exceed anything the -mailer towns can advance, besides offering conditions for housing the workmen, several hundred of whom would be necessary. Decatur would •io much to secure the division, as • ould St. Marya, on account of the scarcity of Jobs in the winter, and also because the employment of several hundred men in the shop and yard work the year around would boost a small town considerably. Fort Wayne, however, is the logical and (elected point of the division and if 1 the road is ever constructed the division will he made here and the trains j will transfer to the Nickel Plate at ; thia point. - TO LOCATE IN DETROIT. D. .M Reid lias purchased a hom< in Detroit. Mich, .and will move his family from Fort Wayne in the near future. Mr. Reed has a real estate i cßke in Detroit and la making a fine success of his business. Mrs. Reed was formerly Miss Bertha Fulleti kamp of thia city. — '0 Democrat Wants Ads Pay.

ARE YOU A GIRL? Young girls should also carry accounts here. There are a lot of things for which you will need money In the future —more money than you are likely to have unless you start to lay it by now. You may show a talent for music. Many a singer has been lost to the world, because the money to cultivate her voice was missmg. You may show a talent for instrumental music and want a firstclass piano, or other musical instruments. It's foolish to buy | such things on installments. It's much better to put by SI.OO or $2.00 a week, than it is to spend it. It's a great satisfaction to economize on installments, but it's mighty burdensome to pay out money that way. And you can pick up bargains when you can pay cash. Why don't you just try starting a NATIONAL Savings Account with us? It earns you 3 per cent, and two times a year we compound it for you. You will be surprised how it will grow. Other girls are doing it. Everything for which you spend trifling sums of money will wear out and you will have nothing to show for it. But money itself does not wear out.
