Ilin action in seconded by a hundred thousand <>r more who favor the Californian Clyde j s a good fellow, but lie was evidently no! tut out for a foxy chairman and his reign will probably , be of short duration. . i Then' ought to be during the com-1 1 Ing year a reaction in the direction of the true American principle—which I is as little government as possible. , There could not be a greater reform than that which would result from a 1 d< t'-rmlned and successful attack cn I' the government payroll. <*ur federal) government is doing too mix h for the I people and the people and the states a:e doing too little for thenmelvcs.r And that is bad for the federal govern-1 meat, the states and the people.— In diana|>His N< ws. — If big business horde money be I cause of the revenue it has to pay to the governin' nt now. It's a liltl hard to understand Just bow or why the new law which makes a slight reduc lion would pull the money out. Thus* I who dodge taxes. work at it consist I c-ntly and ft is doubtful if they would I put it to work any quicker under the law propos'd by Mellon. It s the or I dinary people who need lower tas -s I more than it's the millionaire, surely a compromise bill can be worked out | which will produce the money n r.--tary for the needs of the nivt rn n :e i and without taking it a'l from tli I middle clast.

Rev. White does not ask you to join any church in partleu-

lar and does not believe tn embarrassing those who attend his meetings. t If for no other reason than to hear his entertaining discussion of texts from an unusual angle, go to hear him. Rev. .

After January 1 every egg offered for sale in the state of Connecticut. 1 bantam, Leghorn or Plymouth Rock, J brown or white, plain or speckled. I must have stamped on its surface the I exact date of its advent Into this hun- ' ;ry world. This is a rule adopted by 1 the state board of agriculture for purposes which a moment’s reflections makes obvious. That this Is a step forward no one who has eaten eggs in a county restaurant will deny. The Connecticut regulation throws light n up-to-date farming as compared with that of a few decades ago. The egg und poultry business, like the milk business, is being more and more < tosely organized and regulated. The haphazard methods of the old day would not be profitable, even though they were tolerated, or tolerated even though they were profitable. And the <gg business has indefinite possibilities of expansion, organization and developmt nt.. At present the average American eats 17 or IS dozen eggs a year, or about two-thirds of an egg a day. He <ou!d and should eat more if they were abundant and cheap . < nough. New York Herald. 1 Q The People’s Voice

WANTS NO “SNAP JUDGMENT" Decatur, Ind., Jan. 10. i'.’-l Editor Daily Democrat, Dear Sir:—ln your editorial column of today, you state that it was i a lucky thing for the strikers at Montpelier that no one was killed in i the • xpioslon that wrecked the hotel. , lf-»w do you mean, lucky? Have* those men been convicted by a court <tf Jury? Or are you just surmising that they are guilty? My understanding is that those men hat-i been placed under arrest c harged witii a crime, and a serious one t-xi. and if guilty should be severely ( punished. But your editorial would have |H<>plc believe that those men are guilty of a crime for which they have not been tried. » I do not believe that propaganda should be spread detrimental to either of the parties unless the tacts war- | -.ant such and that will probably come <>ut tn the trial. I have b -eii a subscriber to your I paper since locating here und com-1 m- nd you highly on your editorial I ; i |lcy, c xcept in this particular use.
