THEY HAVE TACKLED THE REAL THING The Republican party has the biggest proposition on its hands right now it has had since it first came into existence. The revision of the tariff Is a bigger job than licking Spain, sealing - the 'presldfency or building the Panama canas. The whole organisation Is going to be .shaken up before the new tariff bill is in shape to get through the senate and house. The democratic party tried its hand at revising the tariff downward and succeeded in revising itself out of power. The trouble with the job is, about every congressman and every senator differs with every other congressman and every other senator as to what articles should be put on the free list, what ones should have the tariff reduced and what ones should have the tariff increased upon them. Take hides for Instance: You will find democrats who are in favor of free hides and democrats who want hides protected; you can find republicans who want hides protected and republicans who want hides on the free list: Each man is influenced by his constituency. The man who sells a hide or two a year is against taking the tariff off, and the man who has no hides to sell, but has to buy boots or shoes, wants thetariff re- i moved. The same thing is true to a 1 greater or less extent of every other article included in the entire list of articles which enter into the schedule. 1 Not only are thousands of individuals ' interested in the framing of the new i rates, but manufacturers in all parts < of the country are also Interested, some of them demanding free raw materials and protection on the finished products, and others demanding 1 a prohibitive tariff on all articles manufactured by them. And the representatives of the people, who have to determine these matters have their eyes and ears open all the time trying to figure out what the effect is go- ' Ing to be on their political future. ! and the political future usually re- ' ceives more consideration than the 1 justice of the tariff rate to be agreed upon. When the democrats revised ’ the tariff the bill was so out of the way in Cleveland’s estimation that 1 he would not give it his approval by < signing the bill, but permtted if to ' become a law without his signature. The bill was not satisfactory and the democratic party went down and out and has been out ever since. Will the' republican party pass through a similar experience? —Columbia City Pest HAND IT TO MR. BERT NEW If Governor Marshall has been delaying the appointment of Mr. Burt New as legal adviser to the executive office on account of rumors that Mr. New’s selection for the place was the result of a deal which involved Mr. NeW.’s retirement from the contest for reporter of the supreme court, it would seefn that he need hesitate no longer. There has never been any question whatever as to Mr. New’s fitness for the place or as to his party loyalty. On the contrary, he shares the good will and respect of leaders in both parties and the legal profession generally. • The only objection ever made to his appointment was ,a charge offered by Republican politicians who sought to discredit the selection as they would undoubtedly have sought to discredit any selection Governor Marshall might make, on the pretense that Mr. New’s abandonment of his contest was the condition upon which the Republican senate consented to the bill creating the office to which Mr. New is to be appointed. Those who made these assertions have signally failed to prove them, though offered every opportunity to do so, and will not even assume responsibility for them. They are therefore utterly dis-

Th. Star is that it should have given publicity to them. If Governor Marshall has given any weight to them, the best answer he could l make to them would be to appoint Mr. New without delay—an appointment which we think would meet with general satisfaction and approval—lndianapolis Star. County local option has now broken out in Michigan and on April 5, twenty-seven counties will vote. The state officials are calling for advance payment in taxes all of which indicates that they are troubled with the shorts and need the money. They are not broke, of course, only another little stringency. While the candidates for postmaster at Bluffton are getting into the limelight, the postmaster at Ridgeville resigned because the office did not pay enough for the time and energy needed for the disposal of the business. Thus it will always be. At Hartford City another newspaper has sprung into existence, its mission at present being to fight the battles of the Anti-saloon league in the local option campaign that is waging there. Besides, every new venture of this sort think they have the world by the heels* and this illusion usually lasts until they waken up. So it will be in Hartford City. At Springfield, Hl., a man pricked his hand with a pin March 19, and on the 22nd died of blood poisoning from the wound. There is always danger in the germs that are lurking in the' jeairth and air. Even the slightest abrasion may give them fatal lodgment in the blood. Cleaning . with warm water and disinfection with alcohol or other antiseptic is a safe precaution. It is wen, tod, that a wound should bleed, for this Is nature’s method of washing it—South Bend Times. —————w The raise in advertising rates by the Curtis publications sets a new mark for magazine advertsing prices. The new rate is as follows: Ladies’ Home journal, $7 per line, $5,000 per inside page; inside cover pages, $5,500 and $7,000 for the back cover. Saturday Evening Post, $5 per line, $2,000 per inside page; Inside cover, $3,200 and back cover, $3,600. Circulation, Journal, 1,300,000; Post, 1,200,000. It is given out that President Taft will surely veto a tariff bill that does not meet the demands of the country and fails to redeem -the pledges made by him and his party last fall. If there be wisdom in the two houses of congress, the leaders will govern themselves accordingly. Tariff revision in fact, not in name only, is demanded. Nothing short of that will be accepted without a protest that is certain to prove troublesome to the authors of the apprehended wrong.— South Bend Times. % Every American home Will rejoice that the abductors of Willie Whltla have been apprehended and that they stand a good show of paying the penalty of the law for what is considered the worst crime in the calendar. It is to be hoped that the notorious Janies H. Boyle and his female accomplice will nevey again have the opportunity of plucking the flower of a home and holding ltjfo£ the pay,-, ment of a money ransom. The citizenship of the entire countryls calling for the severest punishment that can be meted out to this calibre of home destroyers and criminals. The chances are that Mlles Furnas of Winchester, wno will be a candidate |for the Republican nomination tor congress In, the Eighth district, will have oppostion when the race is called, for it is expected that Senator Nathan B. Hawkins of Portland will again enter the race. Hawkins was the Republican nominee in the Eighth district during the last campaign, but was defeated by Congressman Adaiq. The Republicans of the Eighth, according to the word which comes to Indianapolis, are already set-

,1 ting up their pin. for | deter.l mined battle in the next campaign. The district promises to be in better shape than it has ► been before—Telegraphic Dls- ' patch. i There are a foW things you see In I print that you have to take with a • grain of salt, and one of them is the expected race of Senator Hawkins for congress. Uncle Nate may be a little i dull, but he knows to a certainty when > he has had enough, and the boys who are looking for a good thing during the heat of campaign, do not expect • to find Unde Nate on the firing line. a ==■ ■' l When the appointment of a member , of the board of tax Commissioners ’ came up to the governor he placated twenty odd applicants and gave the plum to one that was not a candidate for the place. This Indicates that the governor is likely to make a few appointments of his own—just to see how it goes. i .mix'll It Is reported from Washington that the progressive Republican ele- , ment in the United States senate has agreed upon Senator Cummins of i lowa as its leader. If the report Is well founded, it Is cause for congratulation. Senator Cummins is a strong man, well balanced, thoroughly informed, earnest in seeking a reformation of the tariff, an able organizer and resourceful fighter. Unlike Senator LaFollette, he is thoroughly sincere, and not In the least d demagogue. He Is progressive in alms, but conservative in methods. More aggressive than his predecessor, he seems likely, from his force of char|a,cter, to excel even ex-Senator Allison as an Influential member of the senate. Having the respect and confidence of his colleagues, hewill be an effective reformer.—South Bend Times. The press is filled these days with a fiery denunciation of the present tariff congress far their proposal to increase the tariff duty on hosiery twenty per cent, and the baaJrf of their kick is that tfae increase of thfc duty on hosiery means the increase in price hosiery, all ofj which bears down upon the brow of the poor, who are the largest buyers ofhosiery. How does all this denunciation sound when compared with the beautiful theory of protection that the foreigner pays the tariff, and that the more protection the cheaper any known article becomes. Some of these newspapers who are championing the rights of the poor should be consistent to mentioning a few of these defects at other and perhaps more graver moments. "The special interests puts up the money for the Republican . campaigns, and the trust like all other trusts, wants a little more of the gravy. Why should they not have it? ? . i » % George Wilson is home from the Hope hospital, Fort Wayne, where he spent a month taking treatment. He is looking much better and Is contlnuing to improve.—Bluftton News. ■ The time is almost at hanor the cleaning and beautify of lawns, and as Decptur homes all look the best* there will be much of this work done this spring. Last summer was a harfi one x>n grass, aud it may take arf unusual lot of coaxing to get a fresh start again.' j A Washington dispatch announces the re-appointment of Postmaster Charles Bell at Ossian. President Taft sent Mr. Bell’s name to the senate Monday. The appointment of Mr. Bell had been expected for several months and there was not the least doubt felt in the matter, as he wa| the only really active aspirant for the appointment.—-Bluffton News. o ■ — — .
