FOOLING THE FARMER— Well, the plan seems to be to tell the farmer that we'll enrich him at once by raising the tariff on his products. and we have fooled him so easily that way on numerous previous occasions that we are now quite confident of triumphantly sweeping the farm belt next year. — Ohio State Journal. Unfortunately for agriculture, that quip stands not for a joke but for a I grim truth of many past election periods. It is an axiom of all sports never ( to change a winning game, and ways to change a losing game. So in the great national sport of skinning agriculture to support manufacturers and transportation in the style to which they are accustomed, it is neither, surprising nor out of line with established tactics to play the old effective methods fop all they a* ■ worth-once more. So far as agriculture is concerned, there is happily a very plain determination to change a losing game. The agriculturist knows that rabbits come out of the tariff hat, all right, but he has learned, at long last, that for him the hat is empty. Offering him that empty hat, with u i sympathetic face concealing an inner grin, is not going to work with the i farmer this time.—Des Moines Register. I The sheriff's trade still seems to be offering as many chances for action in these so-called peaceful times as it did in the piping time of Jesse James, the Dalton brothers and Texas Jack Omohumdro. In Meridian, Miss., a sheriff fights a mob to prevent the burning at the stake of two negroes. Twenty-five miles south of Tulsa, Okla., a sheriff's posse closes in on a spectacular bandit, who had kidnaped a town marshal and roped him to a tree with a pistol belt. In Joliet, 111., Sheriff Markgraff toys with steering wheel of his car while bandits press the muzzle of a pistol into his sides. The sheriff nods his head to his deputies, ordering them to fire at the bandits so close to him. Life today is soft, over-civil-ized. without chance for adventure or I heroism? Look again. l —Peru JournalChronicle. A Decatur citizen complains that but little attention is being paid to the ordinances regulating traffic and that violations are increasing. While his estimate that “not more than twenty-five per cent” pay any attention to the statutes and that there are five hundred violations a week, may be exaggerated, there is no doubt that something should be done to curb reckless driving and thats what it is when you run the lights or stop signs, travel through the city at excessive speed, open the muffler, make“l'-turn* or ignore the light regulations. Read the article by “Hard Boiled” and tell us what you think about it. Either the ordinances should 'lie enforced or repealed. The city of Detroit pays $15,000 a day to keep its streets clean and $4,600 a day to collect its garbage. Thats a lot of dirt and garbage. Thik rapidly growing) also spends $30,00'7, a day for new sewers, $15,000 a day] for fire protection, $6,000 a day to' maintain its parks, $62,000 a day for schools, $25,000 a day for police and . $14,000 a day for its hospitals. These figures almost stagger one but on the

other hand the city valuation In- ’ creates at the rate of $640,000 a day and receives $125,000 from its public utilities each day. In 1900 Its population was 255.704 and now Is claimed • to be 1,600,000. The automobile in- [ dustry did 11. • Two bandits stole a trunk belonging to the Halt Jewelry company ami containing $30,000 worth of jewelry [ from the traction station at Fort I Wayne Sunday morning, took it to ’ Lima where they removed the most ; valuable contents and escaped. The • trunks were In charge of Marvin Lasson, a salesman for the company and were evidently stolen shortly after they had been removed from the Pennsylvania station. Well, any way, these fellows were no petty filling station thieves They were smooth to work with gloves on while handling the trunk for police say that

not a single finger print can be found. 1 Trickery lit elections never pays in the end. The voters are entitled to .'express their desires through the bai,'lot and because of any slight excuse should certainly not be denied that . right. The purpose should always be to sectire the free expression of the people and any thing which prevents | that should not and will not be tolerated. The details in the Berne elec1 tion are not so important as the fact ' that it was a scheme to win the elcc- | tion without a contest which is always a dangerous precedent to estab'- ' lish. At least it seems there should have been some information furnished prior to the election day. At the annual dinner of Post X, cf the T. P. A. at the Decatur. Country club, last evening. John S. Peterson, who has served nine years as seen- , tary and who has been largely i sponsible for the increase in member-i! ship, was unanimously endorsed for/ la state director of that organization, j' Mr. Peterson is well qualified, hav-L ing attended the state and national ' meetings for years and is versed in the laws and regulations of the order.
