THE TARIFF'S CUCKOO VOICE: — The voice of the cuckoo clock re curs with the passing hours in the senate. It is monitory rather than informative, and tejls the tale of 2,000 per cent instead of calling the hours. This cuckoo clock, according to t|ie management of the tariff bill cost 04 cents in Germany and sold for $22 in this country. No allowance is made for freight and insurance, for middlemen’s charges or for variation of the exchange rate, but no matter: the spread between the buying and selling figures shows that the buyers of gold bricks are still willing to spend their money. Evidently this $22 cuckoo clock was as much a badge of unaccustomed prosperity as the $lB silk shirt was two or three years ago. i What the plain people, who do nut buy >l)4 cent cuckoo clocks for $22. would like to know is how one of those 1,000 per cent tariff imposts, which are mentioned every now and again in the tariff debate, is going to bring the price down to a figure that would make them feel that they were getting their money’s worth in case they were so foolish to buy a German cuckoo clock. Furthermore, they want to know how those profiteering dealers managed to get away #lth that two-thousand-and-odd per cent when there were-American clocks on the market, just as good, and probably better, that were selling at much lower prices. The tariff opponents are asking such questions as these and others equally embarrassing in the senate and are not receiving answers that make the situation any clearer to the electorate. The debate is amusing enough—especially for the Democratic senators —but its progress in any discernible direction is not evident; nor is it any more understandable why the tariff men started it or what they expect to demonstrate by it. So puzzling is the situation that the mystified taxpayers would be quite justified in exclaiming with Wordsworth: O Cuckoo! shall 1 call thee bird. Or but a wandering voice? —lndianapolis News The people of this community and particularly those who are making an

effort to eecure the location here of the proposed ten million dollar home and school for Yeomen children, deeply appreciate the action taken by the homesteads of the cities of Marion, Kokomo and Huntington, follow ing the two homesteads of Fort Wayne. They are favorable to De catur as the site and they are willing to unite that the home may come to old Indiana—best state in all the Union, centrally located, populated by free hearted, kindly people, good seasonable weuther, splendid environments and believed by thousands as just the proper place. It is the sincere hope and belief that fifty Indiana lodges will take similar action. surel/ a convincing and helpful argument. Mr. R. E. Parker of Fort Wayne and Mr., S. E. Brown of this city are urging the campaign and if we succeed we will owe these men our sincerest gratitude.

The state police officer proved his sterling worth yesterday by arresting one of the city assistants for driving a truck belonging to the electric department, without a chauffer’s license and a driver for the telephone com pany for driving a small truck without a mirror. Terrible offenses if iny—but the big boy has to make •ome kind of a showing or lose his brown suit and his star. Another case of a job without any thing to do it the expense of ghe tax payers. The National Retail Dry Goods as lociation is opposed to the proposed tariff because its rates are highei and have not been constructed in a ‘scientific, non-partisan, non political nanner,” and because "it will dam tge the farmer, the cotton grower, be producer of metals, the exporting manufacturer and others.” Tht clothing men. the shoe manufacur ar and dealer, the people in general ire against the proposed law.

Isn't that putting it on a little thick and would it be better if the men sent to such places be made to live plain and work hard that they may not care to return? A million thanks for the showers this morning and perhaps estimated in the later day financial language we should say "a billion thanks.” If the rain is general it is worth much to this part of the country for the farms were really beginning to suffer (or rain.

It 18 thought that the wreck was cauaed by spreading rails. Four coaches on the rear of the train were turned over and another derailed. Four persons were seriously injured and several others received injuries of a less. serious nature. The four cirs which turned over included three Pullman cars and the diner. The wreck occured ten miles from Leadville, Colorado, near the foot of the Tennessee Pass. The injured were given medical attention by the Chief Surgeon of the railroad line who arrived on.the scene a short time after the accident, and those who were most seriously injured were removed to Salida while the others continued on their journey. Mr. Sellemeyer said he had a physician dress his finger but did not know his face was injured until the doctor called his attention to it. After he had his injuries dressed, he rescued his camera from the wreck and snapped a number of excellent pictures of the wreck. Outside of the wreck, Mr. Sellemeyer enjoyed the trip very much. •

Swimming suits can be cut as low in the back and as high below as the wearer’s consience and a public gaze permit. There will be no one to measure the length of skirts. Hut in order that the public gaze might not lost its effectiveness, a gi gantlc platform was built in the center of White river and a revolving searchlight established on it.
