THE TARIFF AND THE CONSUMER. There are two sides to every question. It has been said that the intricacies of the tariff question are so deep and its ramifications so broad that they can be only approximately fathomed, even under the most skillful system of investigation, by men qualified for such work, and who can devote their entire time to it. How then can the man who does not understand the questions involved with propriety, speak of the tariff. John Kirby Jr., president of the National Association of Manufacturers in discussing it says: Nevertheless, the consumer, who is not a producer, is inclined to favor the lower duties as being more advantageous. But, in considering this most important subject, we should not lose sight of the fact that the greatest ears of prosperity which this country has enjoyed have been under a high
protective system, and yet, it does not follow that the policy of high protec firm i-annr, K A i - , . .. .

IIP AND DOWN IN INDIANA
ANARCHISTS BUSY IN EUROPE. There may be big news In England at the end of this month. Scotland Yard is exceptionally anxious concerning the Czar's visit to England, as the authorities have received warning from various Continental sources that among the foreign anarchists who have taken refuge in England during the last twelve montJis there are about a dozen of the most desperate type. It has been ascertained that several meetings of this particular group, have been held recently in one of the larger provincial towns, and that on these occasions speeches of a most violent character have been made. The Czar was invariably the subject of the open threats which the speakers indulged in, and sufficient was said to account easily for the uneasiness existing among the high officials of the police department. If possible, therefore, the precautions taken to safeguard the Czar will be more elaborate than ever has been the case previously on the occasion of a foreign ruler's visit to England. The people of this country who will never forget the dastardly assassination of the beloved McKinley by a creature of this type, will be more than ordinarily interested in the proceedings.

ciation. OPPORTUNITY.
Is America still the land of Oppor
tunity?
Freddie Geis of Des Moines, aged
seventeen, capitalist and promoter,
says it is.
lie started eight years ago selling newspapers and has Just bought a home for his people, paying therefor
$3,000 in cash.
Freddie's father deserted his family,
leaving a sick wife, an old grand
mother and two children to the cold
mercies of the world.
That was why Freddie started out
at 5 o'clock that first cold morning.
eight years ago, to sell newspapers,
nis cash capital consisting of 4 cents
It is rather hard on a young lad to be hustled out of bed at that hour winter
and summer.
For a long time Freddie's stock in
trade was contained in a canvas bag
After awhile he pre-empted a street corner. He had to fight to "hold down his claim," of course. It was a ques
tion of the survival of the fittest.
Freddie is Irish and won out.
Now he has a regular stand with
newspapers from all over the country,
besides the magazines.
Young Geis is enterprising, and along
with his persistence he employs tact
and politeness.
He is always alert to catch the at
tention of his customers and knows by
name thousands of people. When he
cries "Paper, lady?" his hand invaria
bly goes to his cap.
One of the big forces behind Freddie
is the stanch old Irish grandmother,
lhe mother is not strong, but the
grandmother is a forceful character,
The young man loves his mother, but
he banks on the grandmother, and they
do some great team work.
It is said when the deed to the .home
was turned over to the little family the real estate agent carried away $3,000 In copper and silver coins a whole satchel full of savings. Grand
ma has some doubts about banks. Opportunity?
Why, Freddie Geis saw her standing on the streets, peering around the cor
ners, actually flirting with him and
waiting to be caught. And when he got hold of her it was the half nelson.
This little Irish lad, a captain of industry at seventeen, puts to shame the loutish young fellow who sleeps till 9
o'clock in the morning and goes about saying, "There Is no chance for a young man nowadays." Freddie Gels opened his eyes and saw Opportunity. He made his chance.

While punishing her grandchild, Florence Stevens, Mrs. Mary Ann Hosier of Kokomo, 69 years old, fell over dead. She had meant to tie the child in the kitchen and keep her from the street, but the exertion proved too great for her strength. Death was due to heart trouble. MERCHANTS COMPLAIN.

GLAD NEWS FOR EAST CHICAGO
East Chicago was more than happy when the news came from the east
mat tne Kepuonc s troubles were at an end and that the wage scale had been satisfactorily settled. East Chicago is looking forward with keen anticipation to her share of the unexampled prosperity which is beginning to take hold of the door clapper and knock violently. There doesn't seem to
do a single city in the region which Is not now on the qui vive for prosperity. The eloquent and vociferious clamor for good times has brought results. It
was time ror it, too.
MICHIGAN CITY is another town where the suits worn by women bathers has caused a great deal of excitement and consternation The bloomers described by the papers there as having been worn by a buxom damsel of 22 summers, were such as to cause her arrest on a charge of public indecency. Michigan City "do have her troubles" indeed
A NUMBER OF exchanges are printing queer little items headed "Chesterton Loses Big Plant," referring to, the American Locomotive Works which is locating at Gary. As Chesterton was never considered for a mo ment by the officials of the company, it is extremely difficult to see how the village ever stood in any danger of losing the plant.
A TWO POUND catfish drowned a 200 pound man at a Michigan lake the other night. This is about the worst fish story we have heard yet this season and Editor Zimmerman of the Valpariaso Messenger will have to scratch his clever pate to beat it. THE TIMES crusade against the sale of explosives finds a response at Crown Point. The Star there says: "Three Hammond boys have succumbed since the 4th from blood poison caused by blank cartridge pistols, and next year the sale of those weapons should be stopped entirely; and if not the officials will not be doing their duty to mankind." -
ABOUT THE most popular message that is going over the telephone these days is this. "I wish you would see that I get the TIMES after this by carrier and pleasa-start It tonight."

Oh, These Troubles.
If you must tell your tale of grief
to mortal ears. O friend, be brief! We
all have cares and woes to burn, and
find some more where'er we turn, and
as we paddled down the years we had
our share of scalding tears. This we
discovered long ago: The more we
talked about our woe, the less we knew
of Joy and peace; and folks would call for the police, when they beheld us on their trail, or heard us letting out a
wall. And so at last, with queenly
grace, we ceased to haunt the walling
piace, we ariea our tears and wore a
grin that reached from either ear to
chin and when we had a grief or care
we smashed the blame thing with a
chair, and went around and told the
boys long stories of our humble Joys,
and chortled all the day of bliss and pretty soon we noticed this: Folks
greeted us with faces gay, and threw no cabbages our way. Don't bind your sorrows in a sheaf, and pack around a load of grief; the wise man tells how
good he feels, throws up his hat, kicks
up his heels! WALT MASON.
