Brother Endley, of the Walkerton Independent, may be trusted to look after the tramp nuisance question and South Bend papers should not meddle with questions that others have preempted.—Michigan City Dispatch.

MORE TARIFF. Editor Independent: I wish to say in response to my farmer friend’s tariff article which appeared in your last issue, that I am not a member of any political, farmer’s or labor organization, and therefore feel that I am not prejudiced. I don’t see where we are benefitted by putting a protective tariff on articles that we manufacture and produce largely in excess of what we consume. It cannot help to sell them. Toillustrate: Suppose the merchants of your town had clothing in excess of the demand, would they mark it up to get a market? I think not. Where the shoe is too small the foot is pinched. If the supply was too limited for the demand, they could mark their goods up and to their benefit, and at the dis. advantage of the purchaser. A protective is a high tariff, really intended to keep those goods out that we have not enough of, and if they are kept out the government gets no revenue, and the prioe thus advanced to more than sixty millions of consumers, the wealthy class getting the benefit, thus making the rich man richer and the poor man poorer. And as the rich man does not buy any more than he needs, and the ^oor man having to pay too much for those protected articles have less with which to buy other articles, thus limiting his purchasing power. How can they assist in building up a home market? Any system which extorts from the farmer his means forces him to underconsume, and underconsumption causes overproduction, causing prices to fluctuate and which benefits none but the speculator. My idea of a tariff is a mild, well regulated one, so that the goods we are in need of can be received from any country, and the government receive it. I believe the demand for our products, the money being kept in the right channel, is sufficient encouragement to the American people. In regard to keeping our money at home. Statistics regarding our exportations and importations show that we export more than we import, and which is in our favor. But the money might just as well be iu some other country as to be locked up in the rich man’s safe. I fail to understand how a farmer can be benefitted by a tariff which causes him to pay more for what he has to buy when it dosen’t help to build up a home market, and by causing the consumer to buy less of our products on account < f having to pay more for foreign goods. Mr. Blaine said it would not open a market for a bushel of our wheat nor a pound of our pork, two of America’s greatest products. Now as I remarked iu the onset, I am not prejudiced, and anxiously await the wiping out of the foregoing, by the versatile pen of my Farmer Friend. J. W. Lanning. The mistakes of Moses don’t bother the News half as much as its own mis takes and those that others find. —Nappanee News. And yet the News’ mistakes are few and’ but pigmies iu comparison. One by one the elderly people of the county are dropping out of the ranks here on earth, to enter upon the mysteries of the land washed by the waters of the mystic sea of death. And, with one of old, the question arises: “If a man die, shall he live ag. ?”—Albion New Era. Sakes! You just come up here and express any such doubts, if you dare. It don’t make any difference what “one of old” said. To-day—Tuesday—we find the following in the Chicago Herald: Springfield, 111., March 2.—A delegation of citizens from Pratt Countycalled on Governor Fif to-day and presented a petition asking for a pardon or commutation of sentence for Calvin Holden and Albert Dunham, sentenced to be banged on Friday for the murder of Hailey Russell. Mrs. Eliza Holden and her son Edwin have since the trial confessed that they killed Russell, and that Calvin Holden and Dunham were entirely innocent. The petition is backed up by a letter from Judge Vail, who tried the case, in which lie states that he considers the men innocent. The governor has taken the matter un der advisement. Let us suppose, for instance, that Mrs. Eliza Holden and her son Edwin bad not made the above astounding confession, and that on Friday of this week, Calvin Holden and Albert Dunham, who are now known to be innocent men, should Lave been hanged simply because twelve men—ignorant - men, of course, for that’s the class of I men out of which juries are usually ’ manufactured—conceived the idea that it would immortalize them to pronounce the death penalty! Does it J strike you with horror? Honor bright! Think of it, if you please. Then suppose that Governor Fifer, in whom rests the : 1 e pardoning power, was of :• that peculiar make-up that he would -i conceive the idea that there must be 3 some mistake about the confession, and y that the men were really guilty, and therefore would net interfere? The death penalty should be abolished. •

TEEGARDEN. It hustles our agent to get down in tim e for the 8 o’clock local in the morning. Our saloon at this place is still open on Sunday and late Sunday evening. John Forsyth, our boss carpenter, has six barns and houses to complete by July 1. Two of our citizens fell out, last Saturday.

W illie Place drives a four year old Ab colt that is hard to pass by. Just give him a whirl and get fooled once for fun, if you don’t think so. As Haivey Mull accompanied by his sister, Nora, wire returning home from church last Sunday night his horse became angry at another passing by and began to back up, dashing the buggy into the ditch then throwing itself, smashing the shafts and damaging the buggy other ways to some extent; Luckily t o one was hurt.

Will Zentz has taken unto himself a wife. He realized that it was not gjod for man to be alone, especially during such a cold snap as we’have been having fora few days.

Vt e wish the happy couple a prosperous journey through life. “May olive boughs around their board, To them the gift of Heaven be! ” Mr. and Mrs. David Shaffer, parents of A.

All their children, grandchildren and other relatives will have a happy reunion with the old couple to-day. May they yet see many happy days before they ate summoned away from this mundane sphere. Our bachelor friend, Cyrus Shaffer, B. & 0. agent at this place, has at last left the state of bachelordom, and entered the state of matrimony. He was married at 9 a. m. to-day to Miss Clara Miller, of Plymouth. The ceremony took pl ace at the house of the bride’s brother-in-law Mr. Gee. Shaal, of this place. The R ev . Brown said the words that made the two one. May their honeymoon never wane, but continue through life’s journey. The happy ।

couple left this morning to attend the golden wedding of the bridegroom’s father and mother. The old couple were married on the 4th day of March, 1842, the day of the inauguiation of "Old Tippecanoe,” grandfather of “our Ben,” who now occupies the presidential chair. We hope that Cyrus Shafer and his wife may enjoy a golden wedding fifty years fram to-day, which wilj be March 4, 1941. George P.
