Chinese Eggs Compete With Product of American Hen.

. Since, under-the democratic tariff law, Chinese are shipping eggs into this country to compete with the American farmer, great interest has been .manifested in the activity among Chinese egg shippers. The egg business in China has taken on such activity under the democratic tariff law that United States consuls are making reports on it to the U. S. Albert W. Pontius, consul at Nanking, reports that a big egg factory at Nanking is about to be completed. He says that Chinese eggs are either sb\d in open market or collected by interior agents and delivered to the factory or to the exporter. The important egg producing district of China, he reports comprises the Yellow River and the Yangtze River Provinces and that the season of greatest production is from February to May. He says there is a local desiccated egg factory at Nanking which purchases eggs much below the market price. He says this factory paid from 8 to 10 cents a dozen last October. For local shipping, Mr. Pontius reports that eggs are packed In bamboo crates with , sawdust or stftßW.r He say®' thfey arecannedat Nanking and Hankow by a foreign corporation and shipped to Europe. He says he Is Informed that all grades of eggs and all kinds of fowls are used for this purpose. Refrigeration service, he Says, can be obtained from China to the tJ. S. 'SJhe Hankow factory mentioned above tofteps in operation through the year by handling game, poultry, feathers, beans and skins. The American consul reports that i workmen In these egg factories receive about ten cents a day, thus malting it clear how the Chinese are able to ship eggs to America and compete with American farmers.

ROOSEVELT INDORSES HINMAN FOR GOVERNOR

Calls On All Coo<| Citizens to Support Republican to Overthrow Barnes and Murphy. - ; 'v Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 2—The candidacy of fomrer - Senator Harvey D. Hinman, of Binghamton for the gubernatorial nomination at the republican primaries was indorsed tonight by-Theodore Roosevelt. In a formal statement Col. Roosevelt calls upon “aH good citizens, no matter what their party affiliations,” to join in support od a state ticket, “the success of which would mean the overthrow of both Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy.” In hiis statement he sak* “In this campaign I have a duty to the progressives of the nation and a duty also to the state of New York. In .national polities, in .so far as I am able, I shall endeavor to strive for the success of the principles embodied , in the progressive national platform. Therefore, I shall oppose the policies of the presentadministration, which I regard as deeply injurious alike to the honor and the interest of the American people. - v “But in this state the prime need is a good citizens movement, a union movement, to save the state from the bipartisan control of Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy, precisely like the good citizens movement last yearr "when by union the city of New York was saved from the domination of Mr. Murphy. I hope, with all my heart that all independent citizens, whether progress sives, republicans or democrats in their national affiliation, will stand shoulder to Shoulder for clean, nonpartisan government in the state at large this fall.”

Traction Company Wants Blanket Franchise In White.

Montfoello Journal. Auditor Fisher ha-9 given notice of the petition of the £afayette & Northwestern Railroad Company for a franchise through White county, which is to be heard at the next meeting of the board of commissioners. From the reading of their petition it appears that make the game bluff in White county that they did in Tippecanoe and Jasper by asking for an indefinite right of way through Round Grove, Princeton and West Point townships. ' At the hearing in one of the other counties it developed that the company had not yet acquired the right to issue bonds. .Now they have applied to the public service commission for this authority and give notice that their petition will come up for hearng before that body on July 30th. There is quite a rivalry between this company and the Indiana Northwestern Traction Company, and very likely both will he represented at the hearing in this county August 4th.

Errors in Records Show Incompetence or Wilful Changes.

Indianapolis, Ind., July 22.—The democratic state-, auditor’s report for 1912, at page 30, shows the total 'net general fund expenditures for that year to have been $2,995,’229.76. The items of expenditure going to make up Yhis net sum amount to $4, 327,466.07. The report Is in error in the sum of $1,332,236.31. . The democratic state auditor’s report for 1913, at page 30, shows the total net general fund expenditures for that year to have been $3,909,709.43. The items of expenditure going to make up .this net sum amount to $4,966,168.37. The report is In error in the sum of $1,056,458.94. Were these glaring mistakes the work of incompetent officials or were they made with the intention to deceive the taxpayers of Indiana? No one knows better than jgie democratic officials themselves and It is now clearly up to them to produce a convincing explanation regarding these serious errors in these public records.

TO REPEAL TARIFF REQUIRES REPUBLICANS

That Is, They Must Be Elected This Fall to Support President to Be Chosen In 1916. Indianapolis, Ind., "July 21.—Did you know that the election of a republican president in 1916 would not he sufficient to guarantee the repeal of the democratic tariff bill which has been the means of decommercial conditions of the country? Unless a big majority of the senate seats that become vacant this year are fined with republicans at the election this fall, it will be Impossible to put into effect a protective tariff law before the end of the next national administration or before March 4, 1921. A democratic majority in the upper house of congress, even if the next house is overwhelmingly republican and a republican president is elected in 1916, would be able to prevent the repeal of the present democratic tariff bill for six years. Senators are elected for six years and that is why such great importance is attached to the 1914 senatorial eontests in a pumbpr of states. The terms of the following republican senators expire next March: Perkins, of California; of Connecticut; Brady, of Idaho. Sherman, ors Illinois; Cummins, of Iowa; Bristow, of Kansas; Oallinger, of New Hampshire; Root, of New York; Cronna, of North Dakota* Burton, of Ohio; Penrose, of Pennsylvania; Crawford, of South Dakota; Smoot,*of Utah; Dillingham, of Vermont; Jones, of Washington, and Stephenson, of Wisconsin. The national republican leaders expect to impress on the minds of the manufacturers, workingmen, and farmers of these states who are now feeling the disastrous effects of the democratic tariff bill the great Importance of this phase of the present political situation. The election of a republican unless a big majority of the senators to be chosen this year are republicans the country will have no relief from the present business depression for six long years.
