T P-rTF J A TARIFF COMMISSION o ; DOES NOT MEAN TARIFF REFORM jfe Th® rank dishonesty of the Bffvef-’ idge campaign has not at any time been in doubt, but it becomes plainer, every day. As the Beveridge crowd is in the saddle and will (it is said) give direction to the republican campaign this year, the public should understand how the plan is to talk “tariff commission.’’ The hope of the Beveridgeites is that the republican voters of all factions can be hoodwinked by that cry into forgetting what particular theory they hold as to the tariff. By shouting “tariff commission’’ instead of tariff reform the standpatters are notified that they art not threatened, while it is expected that the people will be deceived into believing that through a “commission” all- the evils of a tariff are to be corrected; ■' If a commission is created it win be a “protection” commission, will be controlled by the trusts and will “study” the tariff question for a few years and in the end will probably not find out—or ht least will not Report—the facts that the people have known and complained about for a long time. In the meantime the qfdinary citizen will be fleeced of his last penny by the protected trusts and monopolies. Genuine reform of , the tariff will neter come through either of the republican factions. If the people want relief they can get it By voting the democratic ticket—and they can get it in no other way. UNPLEASANT THINGS ARE BOUND TO BE DISCLOSED 1 < The investigations now in progress at Washington were forced upon the republicans by public opinion, but, . nothing will come at them. The investigating committees were orgari- ’ ised expressly to decide as the repub- , llcan bosses want them to decide. ( But, however that may be, the Indian- ■> spoils News thinks that some unpleasant things are bound to be disclosed in spite of the best laid plans and that the republicans must stand the odium. It says “Doubtless the most embarassing features of the Investigations now in progress at Washington is the fact that whatever ills may be discovered the republicans can blame only themselves. The democrats had no part in the Ballenger-Pinchot Imbroglio. The high cost of living cannot be laid' to injudicious democratic legislation. The republicans have been in < full control of the government for fifteen years. The maximum and mini- , mum clause of the tariff law i. no * ?i fault of the democrats. In a word the | . republican party is now wrestling with its own sins of omission and commission—which is commendable discipline peculiarly appropriate to the lenten season. “The results ot‘ these Investigations ■ are presumably to be made public by the committees which have them in charge. Theoretically the country will know, when the work Is com.j pleted, just what the trouble, and consequently the remedy it will be nec- "' essary to apply for relief. But those who have watched congressional investigations heretofore do not feel entire confidence of receiving any great flood of light. ♦ ♦ • All in all, the reM publicans in investigating their own fe record find themselves in an extremely Wk uncomfortable position. The difficultly of bringing in convincing reports .Would seem almost unsurmountable to anybody except such investigators .WhOybave had long and successful practice—many of them—in not finding out what they do not want to M — If any person believes that the republican bosses in the senate will allow a fair investigation of the effect bgfc of the tariff upon the high cost of rating, that person is too innocent toi be abroad without an able-bodied guar-’ dian. Any one who would expect Al-

fdrlch and” the other republican leaders in the senate to take any chance ’ whatever on toe creation of a com- ’ mlttee that would honestly try to find out and tell th® truth about toe : Payne-Aldrich-Cannon-Taft tariff law „ stands ready to buy a gold brick nnd K repeat toe transaction within four hours. The senate committee to i Investigate the cause of high prices ’ ih b* *®e' *as organized to apqult the tariff and place the blupe tamera and the houger jWivesjjßfto® TttiMy.* in -d|ter wor&b’ > th® republican bosses are playing horse wlth the people and expect them to like it. Every to harmohize the fighting factions of his party he starts a new conflagration. But then |L is pretty hard for a member of cme crowd to convince the other crowd that he has no sinister purpose. \ A. Kansas min . got a divorce from his wife because after forty-five years Os wrestling before the Lord—and in -hbr presence—in her behalf she would not kneel in prayer With him. Perhaps*if he had done a litle wrestling with her as . well as with, toe Dord .it .might have helped. There is a tradftlon that a certain pieus Oltizen of Indianapolis who had a rebellious -wife of this sort calmly took his fist to her op one occasion and forced her to. her knees. Thereafter he had no further trouble at family prayers. The Star dbes not rebottirnend this method, figt only points it out as a plan that has been tried with success and that had■ the merit of not breaking up toe family.—Muncie Star. The suggestion that a joint debate between Senator Beveridge and James E.. Watson on the merits of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill be arranged In this state is timely. The The senator fought the bill hard and voted against it; Watson says it is the best thing in the tariff line that the country'has ever had. Both men are brilliant speakers and the joint debate is the thing. By all means arrange the Schedule.—Columbia City Post / A well-informed writer on Indiana politics—especially the republican end of it—after saying -that the republican state convention will indorse Beveridge as chief fiddler in the campaign and Taft as a painful incident then refers in this wise to the Hon. Jim Watson: “Ex-Congressman Watson asserts that ne proposes to make speeches throughout the campaign in which he will stand by the president and defend the Payne-Aldrich bill. He is said to regard that as , a true test of republicanism under the present circumstances. His attitude is regarded by many of Senator Beveridge’s followers as a subterfuge by which he ‘may stir up trouble within the party.” In other words, according, to the view iff the Beveridge contingent, itta going easd <ff"high crimes and misdemeanors" iff toss coming -campaign'for any republican to do as much ds “cheep”s unless he cheeps for the’Hffn. Albert Jeremiah. •< .. The republicans seem to be considerably sobered by the largely lncreased democratic majority revealed a few. flays ago in the.. Sixth congressional district of Missouri, where an election was held to choose a successor to the late Representative De Armond. In 1908 the democratic plurality was 2,l6o—the present democratic plurality is 3,761. The Payne tariff and toe present high prices were made toe main issue in the contest, the dispatches says, so that this is the first test of popular feeling on the subject, and the result is causing some deep thought. If the democratic vote should rise in proportion throughout 1 the country next November, it might easily mean a democratic house of representatives, and some of the republican papers are plainly warning their party of the danger., THE EXTRAVAGANCE OF OUR GOVERNMENT If a democratic senator had made toe assertion that toe administration costing toe people |BOO,too much every year, repubpapers all over the country Mve called him a liar and a .suffis* ■ V r -

I- demagogue to boot; but coming from e Senator Aldrich, th® most/powerful i- and influential republican in the sen--1 ate, the statement has failed to elice it a word from 99 per cent of toe r republican papers of the nation. 1 Tbey hav® not attempted to deny |t and they have not had to® courage to a urge the ; senator - attd his cob s leagues to ffhdeaVbr to bring about - tile toting? Jtot only does Benator » Aldricif hold that the country is heT Ing held up to the extent mentioned, tout the duplication f of work In the different departments I is coating the country 3100,000,000 , a year. These are statements, of a r man who 1® practically at the head ( of the administration—a man who has more to do'with the shaping of ; th. polldw ot Pr.tld.nt T.tt th.» any other half dosen men at Washington. It is not of record that Aldrich ever opposed; any of the appropriations for any of toe departments or that he ever endeavored to head off the extravagances of which he now complains;. for that reason his statements about the extravagance in vogue are the more remarkable, and it is not strange that they startled his associates and dumbfounded his ••• • - republican colleagues. The charge of extravagance is the strongest that has ever been made anff men ta all walks of life In all parts of the country are marveling at it. With such a condition it Is indeed’time for the voters to make a change. The republican P*rty h“ increased the office bedding class in every department of the service to such an extent in excess of tbe actual-needs that the burden, upon the people is entirely too great. Any thoughtful man can see that this Is . toe case by studying conditions in his .own immediate county or district, and it is time for something to be done to .UmlnM.l the evils which exist and put the departments back on a conservative business basis.—Columbia City Post. ■BWBsaamßseaams Taking, his text from gossip that is disrupting a philanthropic organization in that city, Rev. Percival H. Barker of Chicago, on Sunday, delivered a scotching araignment of the evil® that now flow from an unbridled tongue. He suggested toe organisation of a tongue guard society, with the motto, “I will*"speak no evil.” Such a society would not come amiss in any city.—South Bend Times. • W. H. Meyers and wife are planning to move from fair old Indiana, where they have lived so many, years and about November Ist they expect to land in California, where aejo weathey and the summer thunder storms are unknown. They have had this in view for some time and toe following letter from W, F. Bolinger, who went to that country eighteen months ago, has caused them to make up their mind definitely. Mr., Meyers will try to dispose of his property here this summer but if he does not, they are going anyway. The letter toy»: Redlands, Cal., Feb. 22, 1910.. I . . 71 W. Poineer Ave. Dear Brother and Sister: , . First iiter being here about eighteen months we still like the place and are well satisfied with toe change. Would not move back to Indiana for a good deal. Too cold in winter and ’ too many electrical, storms in summief. 'We pre not stack on either of them. To be sure this place has some drawbacks, too, along with its many good points. Some of its bad features are these, yi*.l We are apt to haye a few very hot days during the sum- ■ mer and sometimes gets a little, too 1 cold in the winter to suit the- oranges. . This winter has been the coldest since , the weather bureau has been located here to take and keep the report of the temperature, etc. And it was es- * tablished twelve years ago. Old- > times say it was the coldest in thirty ■ years. It froze some oranges and t hurt a few young trees. Not near all of the oranges were frozen but some ’ are. The like may not happen again ’ In ten years or more. > The coldest it got was eight below t freezing (not zero as with you.) We t thought that very cold. But the great-1 r er part of the year the climate is very fine. At least it suits us very well. The soil in the most part is good > and the water is fine. To be sure the price of land is very high when compared with eastern land, but when compared with the good fruit land in the west it is not so bad. Some of the' apple and cherry land Is as high 5 as the orange land is held here. Land • is selling here from 3900 to >2,600 per . acre, according to_location and im-] . provements. Land has advanced quite a bit in the past;ff®Ar. 1 ' -nm I. « 1 up near here that I think will be n 4 ...

I think I would want to, stay here in Redlands for a few yearp at least . ; , I will mall you a booklet on this Valley. Read, an dtf any question arises, just ask all and I will try to find an answer for you. The climate is cooler than here. It is at toetoot of the mountains. A beautiful valley and rich soil.

The apple and cherry ‘ orchards now there are good producers and have some very .fine apples in spite of the care they take <ff them; The owners do pot take the proper care of their trees. You will notice by the pictures In the booklet that they let them carry too much finilt. No tree can produce the finest fruit and carry such loads. They do not prove or thin enough. A Rood orchard -properly tilled and cared for would be a money maker. I wish I had about ten acres, or even five, I would try to grow finer fruit than they da If they saw how the Washington people care for anjOTchgrow much niffer fruit. I suspect toe booklet is colored up a Itttle. You know- hoW rtffl estate men; do. Ha, ba. But there is a great deal of truth In my humble opinion land will continue to go-up around in southern California. Too many wealthy men have invested here to ever let tend values go down. There are a great many very wealthy men around here and I have nothing to speak of about the place you spoke of in Fresno district It may be o. k. California has a lot of good places. % ; Trees come into bearing sooner here than in Indiana. As I said before if 6 oould do so I would have, a small pMce of that land and plant cherries -and apples. Ido not want to urge you tOiffo so but I think it would be a good move for you to come here and get hold of a piece of that land. You could get it attended to for you and you could live here iff Redlands if you so desired. I toff* you would find California more actable to you than any of the other places you mentioned. f Think of California and then come and see it before you buy elsewhere. 4 do not blame yffu for selling out and going to a milder climate. I received a* letter from Shorty today. He said It was still snowing and was pretty cold yet Weather is fine here, Hate my spuds planted and a great deal of. my garden is up. Peach trees are coming in bloom now. Expect somej ripe strawberies in March.
