ration. When the work of mnking It began, the senator whs rather disposed to doubt the wisdom of the undertaking, for he well said that auy tariff made under the conditions then prevailing would be obsolete In six months. The conditions when the law was signed by the President were much the same as they were when the famous prediction was made. There was the same uncertainty; the world was even more disturbed; this was still a creditor nation; there was a shortage of “normalcy" everywhere. Indeed,’ it was said even after the tariff bill was passed that one of the arguments in Its favor would be that It would be only ‘“temporary,’’ an argument that seems to fit in very well with the senator's prediction that the new tariff would be obsolete within six months. But we may have a succession of new tariffs before even the six months have passed. For any lowering- or raising of duties, and power has been granted to the President either to raise or lower, would make a new tariff, one conceivably very different

from that which our Junior senator is •very day praising. The tariff which elicits his admiration today might, us a result of a presidential action, go into tho discard in six weeks. So temporariness is written all over the statute. The process of becoming obsolete may prove to he a slow and gradual, but a very persistent and steady one. It is Impossible to say or know wiiat may happen. Perhaps It is beyond tho power of the senator tc he very helpful in this matter. But It is wltliln the power of the President —as far ns congress could give him tho power —to change every duty in the tariff law over night. That he will not do so. and has no thought of doing so does not change or affect the principle. Any considerable changes would mean a new tariff, ami be a fulfill ment of the senator’s prediction of obsoleteness. All of which makes the business of defending the statute somewhat difficult. The task is indeed not wholly free from embarass ment. —Indianapolis News. Beveridge insists that the farmer is in better condition now than he was two years ago, a statement requiring so much nerve that it's surprising even from the senator. The farmer can judge fur himself about the truth of the statement. Two years ago he was getting $2.14 for wheat and today the price is about 88 cents, corn was $1.21 and now 63 cents, hay was $22.00 and now $ll.OO, hogs $14.71 and now $8.77 while about every thing else has dropped in proportion except what the fanner has to buy. The shrinkage in land values during the past two years shows the difference in the condition of the farmer and he along with most people has long ago come to the conclusion that normalcy is a good thing to shun if the past two years is a sample of it John W. Bosse, who retired as postmaster of Decatur Saturday evening, is deserving of the stamp of approval for his splendid and conscientious services during the eight years he has served the public. He has been faithful to his job and has left nothing undone which he felt would give better service. During his eight years as postmaster he was absent from the office but two or three days for vacation purposes though permitted to take two weeks each year. He has made good in every way and his reports to the government have been accurate and efficient. Mr. Bosse deserves commendation. Mr. Fritzinger, who succeeds him, is a capable business man who will no doubt strive to continue the splendid service now- given. Republicans argue that most of the tax money is spent at home but just the saint- more money is being sent to Indianapolis from this county than is used to operate the government of this county. That’s stepping some. The amount drawn from this county by the state is just about double what it was three or four years ago. What the people want to know is what becomes of the money sent there. A report on the expenditures of the highway commission and some of the other boards would be most interesting just at this time. The election" - comes four weeks from tomorrow and it’s up to you to help put over John Tyndall for conrress. We need just such a man to
