If you can keep up with the changes in the tariff rates these days you are a legislative sprinter. The house passed the bill and now the senate committee, reports and the amendments arc numerous and each day we got a different report. Guess we just have to take it anyway.

That the Decatur Industrial Association means business and will leave no stone unturned to secure the location hero of the Yeomen home und sciiool is conclusively proven if there Is any doubt In your mind, by the fact that two Ikxtitnr representatives, Mr. Quinn and Mr. Drown, have teen sent to Des Moines, to confer with the directors and to personally extend an invitation to them to come here August 23rd, to see, to hear and to locate here. They will bring back valuable information, we do not doubt, and the move shows the proper progressive and en ergetlc spirit which must be shown it we land this great opportunity. Within a few days a real campaign will be started iiere to culminate on the 23rd of August when we are to entertain the officials and directors of the Yeoman lodge. As it grows we hope every citizen of this county will become interested. It is not to be a day of carnivals or fire crackers, but a sober and happy occasion when we demoustrnte to our distinguished visitors, the bigness and broadness of the vision of our people, show them the splendid and productive fields and

• orchards and woods of this locality ! and impress them with the advantages of locating here. Got your coats off I and get In the game. We want you all i to help. With two great strikes on, others I threatened and the outlook for a dark and dreary several months to come, . it is going to be a difficult matter for republican orators to go into the campaign and toll the people that everything is fine mid dandy and normalcy a , success. Just now It is being predicted from Washington that the railroad ■ strike may reach such proportions that the railroad strike that the entire country may be sewed up tight one of these days. While efforts have been made to reduce wages, prices on farm products, the tariff bill now in passage is evidence that the big fellows desire greater profits and less competition. The coming campaign will be interesting. One of these days this city will have to put in a new sewerage system, a good one, large enough to take care of the heavy rains and downpours such as we had last evening. Don’t gasp or throw up your hands for not to have the very best sewerage is foolish for any city. In half the Basements in Decatur last evening there was water. That is an estimate but if anything probably too low. At this ! office we fought for two hours to save four thousand dollars worth of paper stored in the stock rooms. At the city building on Monroe street there was two feet of water and the loss .yesterday would have paid the assessment for the new improvement for several Decatur citizens. We believe the matter ought to have the serious jeonsideration of the city council and Mayor DeVoss and that plans along this line should be discussed with the view of building a real sewer that will ; prevent these accidents. = What would you think if you Were : invited to a home and then crowded I back into an obsure corner while the | members of your host's family took

; all the best seats? That Is practically , what some of our town people do every f Wednesday and Saturday night. On I band concert nights a number of town people make it u practice to drive their cars down town early and park ' them in the most desirable spots, : compelling our visitors to find places . on sidestrects, and in out-of-the way ’ places. The same practice prevails • on Saturday night, although with less ■ show of reason, for it is certainly dlf--1 flcult to see why a person who lives ■ only two or three block from the cen--1 ter of town—unless he or she is an ini valid or a cripple—should find It necessary to drive his car down town 1 and park it on a busy thoroughfare, it not only increases the inconvenfence to people from outside, but it .-.’so adds to the congestion ami makes : the possibility of accident that much I greater. Town residents have no business filling up the parking places with their cars. Leave them at home on busy nights and walk down town. It’ll do your lazy old bones good.— South Whitley Hornet. RATIONING OF COAL MAY BE RESUMED SOON (Continued from page one) Seme modifications may be suggested. but it is not believed either 1 side will dare to make a flat rejec tion of the presdient’s plea for arbi--1 tration of the dispute. At present the two warring sac- , tions seem to bo sparring for time. Both sides are seeking information on some phases of Harding's proposal. Operators are not very enthusiastic about submitting the dispute to a national coal commission in accordance wth their belief that wage scales should bo framed upon the basis of district or sectional agreements. It is believed that the operators will wait until after the United Mine Workers give their decision Saturday and if it is favorable the operators will do likewise. The operators previously had stated they were willing to put their case in the hands of the government. There is every indication that gen-
