ALMOST READY FOR TAFT The work of the special session of Congress on the tariff bill is almost over. The last thing of importance wjll in all probability be the wood pulp and paper schedules .in the Senate. Then will come the conference between the House and the Senate. The House bill, while far from meeting the desires of the public in all things, at least has the merit of being twice as low on most things as the measures formulated by the redoubtable Aldrich in the Senate. Nineteen twentieths of the schedules of the House are a substantial reduction. " To show the difference between the two bills it is safe to say that the $4.00 schedule of the Senate on paper and the $2.00 schedule of the House represent the average difference between the two bills of Congress on the tariff. It is generally - believed that Taft will use his influence in the conference .'between the House and Senate committees, and .as a conference compromise can not be changed that' will be the last word with the exception of what the President can do.' . There are many things which will enter into Taft's decision and any bill that he will sign will, in all probability, not be altogether satisfactory to himself or the people. It is probably true that Taft will sign a bill which comes somewhere near being revision downward and will refuse to sign the bill if it carries all the schedules as proposed by the Senate. ( The thing which all of us in the Middle West hope is that Taft will not be moved by any other considerations than' those which he has displayed in the past. There is every reason to believe that Taft will do the best he can

without regard for anything else. He

has never played for popularity and

the spectacular has never been in

his line. He will go at this in a thorough and judicial manner and

accomplish the very best he can for

the country.

Taft's recent activity in cutting

down the expenses of the government is wise in more ways than one. It is

not only a great relief to see the

water squeezed out of appropriations but when the senators who are insisting that the government needs a higher tariff in order to meet the expenses of running the , government; come along to use the appropriations

as a club over Taft they will find that

he has made away with that weapon. -It is safe to say that the fault with the next tariff bill If the schedules are exorbitant will have to fall where it belongs, at the door of Congress. Never in the history of the administration since the inauguration has there been any attempt on the part of Taft to : tamper ' with legislation in Congress. The administrative department has kept its hands completely off the tariff measure. And this leaves Taft's hands free to accomplish more as an executive than he could if be had followed the methods of dictating to Congress on every schedule. - Whatever action Taft takes will be

Just and with a careful weighing of all the circumstances. The real business of the tariff is about to begin

FLAG DAY

Ten years ago if anyone had mentioned Flag Day, hardly a man would have known what was being talked shout. For It was only ten years ago that the American Flag Association commenced its campaign for the respect which should be shown to the flag. . Today, Congress and the legislatures of many of ; the - states 'have fxsssa suitable legislation for the pro

taction of the flag. And today on the

132nd anniversary of the origin of the

ensign there is more respect paid to

the flag at home and abroad than at any other time. Laws now protect the flag from being defaced by advertisements. The flag is now being recognized as a thing worthy of respect. Not long ago the-news dispatches brought the story of a sailor who deserted in some port in South America. He found his way to a local combination theater and dance hall and in the course of the show there being some little bad feeling at the time between the local government and the United States an indignity was offered to the American flag. Then the sailor, although a deserter, started to clean out the establishment. Which shows the way they feel about it in the navy. ' One of the principal uses of our navy is to build up the reputation for the American flag so that it may be a real protection to our citizens abroad. Other countries are more, respectful to the flag because it means to them the tangible sign of the protection of their Interests an Indignity offered to the flag as an insult to the nation. - The 1 building up of this idea is worth more to the country in bo far as the protection of American interests goes, than all the fireworks which are shot off on the Fourth of July, as well as being a truer patriotism.

What Advertisers Think The Connersville News says of Wayne county newspaperdom: The long established newspaper. The Dublin Register, has ceased to exist. Albert Burr, the publisher, has conducted the Register for thirty-four years past. Not long ago there were four weekly papers In western Wayne county, one being at Milton. Now there are but two the Cambridge City Tribune and the Hagerstown Exponent. Richmond's two leading daily papers practically cover the field. There is also a morning paper, bnt it has not made much progress though the field is large. Merchants, generally, who are the main support to all local newspapers, are learning that it brings better results and costs less to patronize a few well managed papers than to scatter their patronage among a larger number of papers that have but a precarious existence and that the public does not demand.

RUSHVILLE ON THE TRAIL So Rushville is following in the footsteps of Richmond in forming a Booster's Club. It Is understood that the Toung Men's Business Club of this city has been taken as a model. It is a step in advance for the smaller towns of Indiana to wake up to the fact that if they do not want to become sleepy villages they will have to bestir themselves. All over the country no matter what the size of the town there is a movement going on to branch out after trade and to inculcate a spirit of doing things. In this particular Instance 1t should be a matter of congratulation to Richmond that the reputation of the Richmond Young Men's Business Club has had enough effect to be taken as a model by surrounding towns. Richmond Is the largest town in the Sixth Congressional district and should be the leader in movements and enterprises. Every time that she does things her actions are carefully scrutinized. There is a growing belief all over the district that Richmond is doing things. Such a reputation Is worth acquiring. It is not enough for Richmond to have a mere numerical supremacy it is by taking the lead and the initiative that she can , best make herself effective in all branches of trade and business.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near

The Insurrection. From the New York Times. With entire and well justified confidence the hosts of protection have for a generation relied on the skill, the valor and the hardihood of their commanders and their legionaries in the senate and the house. The opposition of tLo democrats to high protective duties h?s been for the most As a matter of party policy, the democrats had to stand for something not in the republican creed. Rarely has a . voice been lifted in disinterested advocacy of the interests of the consumer. Now. there appears to be several such voices. . If Dolllver, Bever-

idge. Cummins. Borah and the other

republican "insurgents" do not represent the consumer, we fail to see what client or interest they do represent. Certainly they do not speak for the republican party or Its policies. Senator Aldrich is the official spokeman and representative of that interest. The insurgents are waging their warfare on ttm Aldrich schedules not as politicians, not for party, but manifestly because they have heard and felt the demand of the people. The pledges of the republican party and of the republican candidate were accepted In the west as having been given in good faith. The insurgents are simply demanding that those pledges shall be kept.

Commission Government. From the Kansas. City Times. Commission government has amply justified its adoption in Leavenworth in Wichita, in Des Moines and in evyer northern city where it has been tried. It has practically won the cities of the 'south because of its wondtrful popularity In Galveston, Hous

ton and in every city where it has been adopted. In every place where

the people have voted to place their municipalities under commission gov

ernment they have been more than pleased with the results. Kansas City,

Kans., therefore has a splendid opportunity to study the character of the opponents of the proposition to

adopt commission government in that city. For the plan , has worked a

hardship nowhere except upon the

franchise grabbers, the gamblers, the lawless element of society and the public plunderers who have been able to manipulate the old system to their own profit at the expense of the people. Heroes of the Coast. From the New York Tribune. The fine performance yesterday morning at' Fire Island should and doubtless will more strongly incline those who are well informed and appreciative to sympathize with Mr. Hlllia, the assistant secretary of the treasury, in his plea for more generous or perhaps we should say, more just treatment of the members of the life saving service or of their dependents. The work of these hardy watchers of our coast Is not often performed before the public eye. Most of it is done In gloomy and remote solitudes, and mention of it appears in print only when It reaches some tragic or all but tragic climax. When there is a gallant rescue of lives from a stranded ship, words of praise are freely given to the life savers! But . it should not be forgotten that for every such achievement there are many long nights of patient and vigilant watchfulness and of incessant tramping along the beach in storm and darkness.

TWINKLES

A Conservative. "Your great trouble," said the sagacious person, "Is that you don't apply scientific principles to agriculture." "P'raps," answered Farmer Corntossel. "What, in your opinion, causes so many crop failures?" "I dunno for sure. But I've a suspicion it's tryin to follow the advice of everybody that comes along and says he knows all about it."

V Lack of Judgment. "So Cayuse Charley met his fate at the hands of a posse?" "Yep," answered . Three-fingered Sam. "What was the trouble?" . "His immejit difficulty was a lack of judgment as to speed. He helped himself to a horse, but didn't, pick one that was fast enough to keep ahead of the party that went after him." Subjective Joy. The egoist will not repine, For self-esteem is never sad. His disposition is wondrous fine, Although his judgment may be bad.

Recognition. "How do you recognize an infant industry?" "Like most infants," answered Senator Sorghum, "it is recognized by the amount of noise it makes when it wants to be noticed."

"Patience is a good thing, son," said Uncle Eben, "penrided you don't knock off work an go to sleep while you's practicin it."

Comet Near Earth Is Likely To Bring Quakes and Storms

Copyright. 1WJ. by American Press Association. COUNTRY GIRL IN TIE CITY. "To stay at-home is beet." You may quote the homely old adage in vain to the girl whose ambitions dreams lure her away from the coontry place or the village to the city. And often the girl who stays at home envies the girl who goes away. Distance lends enchantment to the view. The .dream of city life Is like a glittering pageant in the shifting kaleidoscope of the girl's aspirations. She sees only the bright lights. More and more the city swallows up the pure womanhood and manhood of the country. Already more than half of the people of the United States live in cities, and the proportion grows larger yearly. This is how It Is: The girl of town or country grows tired of teaching district school or clerking in the village store or staying on the farm. She goes to the city to

realize her dream of life. ' At the first she Is delighted enamored of the glare and glitter. Here, she thinks. Is the substance of things hoped for. the evidence of things seen In her visions. Then comes disillusion. ' ' The awful loneliness of the crowd comes upon ber. The sordid surroundings of ber cheap boarding house, the comparison of ber frumpy dresses with the tailored suits of well dressed women these things lead to heartaches and wretchedness. ' 8be Is a stranger in a strange land. Poor lassie! If she is made of strong moral fiber she will come through it all and save her womanhood and self respect, but she will also grow a little callous of heart and mind. In opposing her selfishness to the sordid selfishness of her world some of the bloom .of lnnocency is likely to disappear. If there is a weakness somewhere In ber moral armor her very virtues of . innocence and trustfulness may lead to her undoing. To stay at home is best. To be sure, it is quiet down on the farm or In the village, but the monotony ii as nothing to the aching loneliness that comes in the midst of strange crowds. And there are a fullness of happy comradeship and S friendliness of contact among the home folks that are never to be found elsewhere.

Besides, should the country girl be

able to win ber way In the city and save her soul, what has she gained over the home life? Experience; that is alL . To stay at home Is best

New York, June 14. All the freaks of nature which people have been remarking lately are due, according to Edwin F. Naulty to the comet which he and Dr. Brook of Hobart college announced to the world three weeks ago. This behavior threatens to become worse until such time as the comet shall pass the earth and its light reaches us by recession instead of deflection as now. That means that June will continue to be as little like Its old self as were the earlier months of the year. By July the transit ought to be made and let the weather swing back to normal. Meanwhile, says Mr. Naulty. watch out for more marine disasters. The two that furnished startling news last week are only the beginning- of s series. Ship compasses have gone wrong from this evil influence. Mr. Naulty says, and mariners find guides that have always been their main reliance running to all sorts of errors. Since Wednesday last, while the morning skies have warned people to carry umbrellas, and fog and mists have often justified the warning, the local barometers have held steadily fair. The fault has not been with the barometers, but with the comet which has so suffused the atmosphere as to make people think It cloudy when the overhead appearance was due merely to shafts of comet light. The doubt that beset the masses

of late and kept winter clothing and camphor balls apart beyond their period of habitual conjunction has also

been due. to same baleful influence. In swimming around the Arctic regions it has driven polar air southward, causing periods of abnormal cold. As these air pulsations slow down heat returns. That process may be expected to continue In manifestations of streaked weather until the comet shall pass by. Earth tremors in the Middle West and In Europe and forest fires will come along for the same period as they have been doing of late. Mr. Naulty says tfhat In respect to this continent the danger sone may be covered by a foot rule on an ordinary map, one end at Galveston and' the other at St Johns. N. B. A tor

nado reported Friday at Dallas, which killed eleven and Injured many and which blew a Mexican A Orient train off the track, shows what the comet has already done in the South; it has destroyed by fire timber stretches in New Brunswick, where there has been no rain In more than a month. So far the comet head has kept out of sight. There is a chance that on Thursday, next, when the body of the moon will thrust itself , between the sun and the earth at nightfall, the sky may be so suddenly darkened as to reveal the head of the comet in the northwest. Should that not then occur the head will probably apepar in natural course In July. ", It will then have proceeded far beyond the earth and from then on It will trouble other epheres than this. After passing the earth the light It will throw back this

way will give It the appearance of having three tails Instead of two as at present.
