Hides, for the first time since the enactment of the Dingey tariff, are to be taxed. There are to be extraordinarily high taxes on wool, which is now on the free list. These wool duties will not omy impose a heavy burden on the people —including the farmers, in whose interest they are supposed to be levied, though few of them are wool grow-

The Guest Room

WHILE hospitality should he the keynote to your guest room yet its treatment should be as impersonal as possible in order to suit it for the frequent change of guest. Convenience in arrangement is one of the first considerations in the bedroom, particularly in reference to light. Place the bureau in a good light for the day time and have the artificial light near. A small reading lamp near the bed gives a note of comfort.

JVe shall be pleased at all times to help you plan suitable decorations for your home.

• era—but will discriminate, almost certainly disastrously, against the carded wool industry. The hide duties will in no way benefit the farmer, but rather the reverse, since they will ’ necessitate the impression of compensatory duties on boots and shoes. The attempt is to satisfy all classes i without dissatisfying any an imposl sible task. This proposed tariff is 1 an interesting response to the de- ( mand for lower taxes. Congress is i proposing to lower taxes by raising I them, it is a dangerous experiment, * even from the merely political point 1 of view, as should be realized by all who are old enough to remember what the Payne-Aldrich tariff did to the republican party in 1912. Just now there is much talk about collecting the debts due to this government and to the American people from abroad, debts which, if paid at all, must be argely paid in goods. Yet we are proposing to impose extraordinarily high, and in some cases prohibitive taxes on the medium in which our debts must be paid. We are told almost every day that prosperity is just around the corner, and indeed that its advance guard has already reached us. The gospel of optimism is being very strenously preached. Yet all of this recovery has been under the moderate Underwood tariff, for the repeal of which there has been no demand worth considering. Such as there is has been wholly manufactured by our

tariff mukerz. High taxez certainly will not hasten prosperity's •omewhgt lugging steps. Nothing would ton tribute so much to it as to allow the people, so far as possible, to keep their own money in their own pockets. But that is not the Fordney Idea. —Indianapolis News. The miners have been ordered to strike on April Ist. Five hundred thousand union workers will lay down their picks and shovels, but. it is thought that a calamity can be averted in view of the fact that most of the big industries and the railroads have laid in a supply of coal for an emergency like this. Then again we may be enjoying real spring weather by that time and will not be thinking of the coal pile. I I I Hl J. H. Mellett. former mayor of An derson, has announced that he is a candidate for the democratic nomination for congress in his district. Ad ams county also has some excellent congressional timber, and if these men want to get into the race their intention of being a candidate must be filed by April Ist. The track is clear. The members of the city council Mayor DeVoss and those connected with the running of municipal affairs are exerting an honest effort to give Decatur a real business administra tion and we know progress is being made. Support these officials it what they try to do for the city. Both republicans and democrat! arc satisfied with the results of thf congressiortil election in Maine, sc, there is no use arguing about major ities or the political trend. Under a suspension of the rules the bonus will be taken up in congress tomorrow but that does not mean that the question will be settled Look at the peace treaty progress.

THE COAL MINERS’ STRIKE We are all hoping that there may be no strike on April Ist; however, as gas is practically the sole reliance for fuel with which to cook the daily food, we some time ago decided that we could not take chances of there possibly being a two or three months' coal strike and the consequent exhausting of our supplies of gas-making materials; therefore we have bought ample quantities, we believe, of gas coal, steam coal and coke, which is now stored on our yards to make reasonably sure of no chance of your gas supply being cut off. All this, means added expense to us in storing, teaming and handling these materials, but is a part of our SERVICE.
