CONCERNING TARIFF SCHEDULES It is too much to hope that everyone will be satisfied with the tariff schedules when revised. But the hearings that are going on now In committee, for the gathering of evidence, are full of portent for the future. According to a press dispatch of a ' week ago it was reported that the Gaar, Scott & Company of this town had stated to the committee taking testimony that "their business had never been greater and their profits bad never been less," than at the present time and that the situation was due to the tariff on certain articles which were necessary to their manufacturing. Another manufacturer In. this town engaged in almost the same line is reported to have said that the "tariff, unless materially lowered would force many concerns in Richmond to the wall." If these statements be true and (there Is small reason to doubt the truth of them) it can easily be seen that the tariff is a matter which vitally affects the welfare of the town and almost all the citizens in one way or other. The controversy which is going on between Carnegie and Schwab, who might be thought to know something about the steel industry, is amusing. Mr. Carnegie has advocated in a magazine article1 the removal of a high tariff on most things which are not luxuries including steel and ore. Mr. Schwab maintains that a high tariff should be kept on steel and concomitant things. So there you are. At the same hearing also appeared Mr. TauBig, a professor at Harvard, who is an authoritative writer on the tariff. The gist of his writing on the protective system is that it is a. good thing to protect a new industry until the unnatural conditions, which had hindered its growth had been removed. The only reasons which are valid he contends, for' a protective tariff, are reasons which are temporary and which can be removed la the course of time by encouraging the new industry by the tariff. He has therefore advocated that the raw materials be reduced and his advice has been given attention by the committee. Surely U. S. steel can stand a small reduction! The tariff must be reduced and reduced so as to give a chance to the whole American public to profit by It and not alone a great corporation. This is a matter which should receive the attention of experts and should not be tampered with ' according to the wishes of those who have the largest lobby. There is no doubt that real tariff revision will be accomplished unless it happens that congress is stronger than Taft's veto in the matter of sham revision. It Is a very vital subject to. the people of this town and it will behove the congressman-elect from this district to keep a stiff upper lip when the real fighting begins. THE END OF A R EVERY. The death of Donald G. Mitchell did not cause a panic on the stock market, nor a ruption of the world's business. "Ik Marvel' was not in the main current of life, and its rush and roar passed by him in his sheltered bay of Edgewood. But none the less it will bring a moment or two of sadness to thoee whose hearts have been gladdened by his limpid prose and his quiet dreams, that the hand that wrote "The Reveries of a Bachelor' and "Dream Life, is cold in death. The life of the fifties was the calm before the terrible storm of the war of the Rebellion. It was a day of repose of manner and manners and a day when people took time to live .The survivors of that happy Golden Age have of late years been called gentlemen of the old school. It was an age of lavender and old lace, a day of rose geraniums, a day when nose gays were still variegated and done up in lace paper. It was still possible to see men In stocks, plum colored coats and cream colored trousers 'and varnished boots. It was a day of thoughtful and cheerful action and life. It was in those days lhat Ik Marvel first became popular and a "best sell

er," and living in Edgewood thereafter, it is doubtful if he ever really got out of that charming period. If be did he concealed the fact from his readers. It has remained for him to give us from time to time all that was best of the time with a repose of manner, fine Ideals and delicate sentiment which was never sentimental. The world owes him a debt of gratitude similar to the one it owes those who planted old rose gardens which bloom on forever. The Master of the Garden may pass on, but the odor of the roses is with us still. In this day of hurry and rush, of money grabbing and quick lunches, it may be that we scorn the days before the war. But few people can read "The Reveries of a Bachelor" without wondering if our modern hysteria is to be compared with the dream days. At any rate a tired and perplexed public will continue to find the reveries of Donald Mitchell, written from his garden in Edgewood. a pleasing balm for fevered brains.

BREWERS DENY THEY ABE FOR B. F. SHIVELEY (Continued From Page One.) vote with the body of democrats to repeal it. Office Seekers Many. The hungry horde of office seekers and job hunters in Marion county have at last put on their ifghtlng harness and propose to land some of the jobs that Governor Marshall will have to hand out or know the reason why. Ever since the election office seekers have sprung up all over the state. Marion county has furnished its share there being one or more applicants for nearly every job that the governor will have at his disposal. The enormous number of applicants in Marion county caused some of the outside counties to complain. Democrats out in the state charged that Marion county was trying to hog everything in the trough and crowd out everybody else so it could monopolize the whole business. They charged that Marion county always does this very . thing and said it was about time to put a crimp in Marion county and show i where it belongs. This complaint became so general and so Joud that the Marion county democrats have taken up the challenge. They say they are entitled to all they can get. Marlon County Demands. "Marion county is not asking too much," said one man here. "These outside counties must remember that Marion county is a congressional district of itself and that it is entitled to as much patronage as any other district. They must remember also that Marion county gave Marshall a plurality of nearly" 5,000, which was one-third of all the plurality he received in the entire state. They must remember that Marion county which gave Hanly a plurality of 12,000 for governor turned around and gave Marshall 5,000. Therefore, Marion county is entitled to all it will get Marlon county has no candidates for any of the positions in the legislature, although it has eleven democratls members. It is understood that Joe Reiley, secretary of the democratic state committee, is to be appointed state oil inspector, and some of the outside counties are pointing to this as a Marion county appointment. The fact is that Reiley does not live in BREWERS GAL, TWO Marlon county at all. His home is at North Vernon and he votes there, as he has always done. In fact, Indianapolis and Marion county is not asking for much, and we ought to have what we want." Several Want Jobs. And they are going to try to get what they want, too. Marion county has two or three candidates for state tax commissioner; two for railroad commissioner; one for fish and game commissioner; three for custodian of the state house; two for engineer of the state house and about thirteen million others for all the other jobs. There is not a place within the gift of the governor tVt Marlon county is not after. But the local statesmen say every other district in the state is also In the field with a full line of candidates for the Jobs, and they cannot understand why MarIon county should not get in the game along with the rest USED STOVE POKER ON MOTHER; INSANE Connersville Young Man to Be Placed in Easthaven. Connersville. Ind., Dec. 17 A commission composed of Drs. Hamilton and Dillman and 'Squire Gates pronounced Daniel Hassett, the East Connersville young man who Thursday assaulted his mother with a stove poker, insane, and application for his admission to the Easthaven asylum will be made.

GE T BEHIND ME SA TAN VI Would'st Have None of the Filthy American Lucre, ' ' Says Boni When He Withdraws Demand for $60,000 Yearly.

Paris, Dec. 17. The last day of the hearing of the suit brought by Count Boni De Castellane against his former wife, the Princess De Sagan, nee Gould, in which he petitions the Court to award the custody of his three children to his mother, the Marquise De Castellane, brought out the fact that the Count had decided upon a sudden change of front in that he withdrew his demand that the Court allow him a yearly income of $60,000 for the maintenance of the children. M. Bonnet, speaking for the Count, OUT OF TOWN SHOPPERS, READ! Eldorado, O., Dec. 17. Passenger traffic is very heavy now, from here to Richmond.

Tenth United States Infantry was camping at Glen Miller park with his regiment last October, he did not anticipate the trip to Alaska, which he now has undertaken. He has been summoned to Fairbanks, Alaska to testify in a case in which an attempt to bribe is charged. Prom Indianapolis he goes to Seattle, Wash., where he will sail for Valdez, 1,800 miles away. It will be necessary for him to travel 400 miles over the trails by dog sled, wrapped in Alaskan winter clothing, both in getting to and from the point where Vachon is to be tried. At the present time the district through which he must pass is ice and snow bound. Lieut. Morris said he would not be able to return to Ft. Benjaraln Harrison before the middle of March or the first of April. It wilj cost 16 government approximately $1,000 to transport Lieut. . Morris to and from Fairbanks for the purpose of testifying at the trial. SOCIETIES PRESENT , HOWELLS' PLAYLET Quaker Students Appear Friday Night, "The Sleeping Car" by William Dean Howell s, a farce in one act and three scenes, will be given at the annual fall public of the Ionian and Phoenix literary societies at Earlham, Friday evening. The scene of the playlet is a sleeping car on the Boston and Albany railroad and for the action depends on a good woman who is not accustomed to the sleeping car berth and her aunt & comfortable person who is equal to any situation. The playlet was given at Earlham several years ago and proved very popular. TOT PLAYED "PIGGY"; KILLEDJY BROTHER Little Catherine Crawled on Floor When Shot Was Fired. Selins Grove, Pa., Dec. 17. Two-year-old Catherine Breus was killed by her five-year-old brother Harold. The children decided to have a pig killing. Harold took a loaded rifle he had often seen his father use to fell porkers, and little Catharine played "piggy," crawling about the room on hands and knees. Robert Burns, writing only fourteen days before his death, implored his friend Cunningham to use his influence with the commSMlonera of excise In order to get his salary raised from 35 a year to 50. "otherwise If I die not of disease I must perish with hunger." The Generat "Demand of the Well-informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative whjch physicians could sanction fer family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its' excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and fer sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents par bottle.

read to the Court a letter from his client filled with indignant protests that he should have been charged with initiating the proceedings to obtain money. The Count's tardy renunciation is considered a clever move to enlist sympathy in his favor. Nevertheless the public is greatly astonished that the Count should go to such an extreme in order possibly to win a victory over his former wife. The Princess De Sagan continues to be sanguine of a favorable decision.
