$184,000,000. In January, 101.1, the last January of the Payne lull, they amounted to $ 16.1,000,000. But in January, lOKl, the government collected duties amounting to $27,000,000; while in January of this year, the government collected only $15,000,000. Imports for February of this year showed an increase over February, 1913, of $49,000,000, but a decrease of revenue of $8,000,000. And the treasury deticit gives promise of amounting to $100,000,000 this year, t'ould any intelligent child fail to draw from these simple figures the conclusion that the rates of the Underwood l>il| are too low? In Air. Humphrey's estimation, no one but a Democrat coi Id fail to make the proper deduction, fail to read the lesson 1 taught by' tli»se Uguriw. cuinpitoif too. by Democratic officials. Mr. Humphrey has made a comparative calculation which shows that under the Payne law the government would have collected during the last eleven months $105,000,000 more revenue from customs duties than it has under the Underwood bill. With that additional revenues, which has been a Democratic present to Euro pean manufacturers as is shown by the fact that prices to American consumers have been in no way decreased —it would not be necessary to impose tho direct tax which the Democrats have been imposing and which the. purpose to increas . Instead of admitting their serious mistake and trying to correct it, the Democrats are determined to impose still further direct taxes and then to create a tariff board ami pass an “anti dumping clause” with the hope of blinding the voters to the

actual facts.

and Sheriff .John R. Ammond. declares that the trouble at Del Rio started following the shooting of a soldier of the Twently-fourth infantry by a member of the Texas Rangers It adds that a lar^e number of negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth infantry surrounded the rangers' house, firing volleys of shots, but without causing any deaths. The telegram urged that steps be taken at once to prevent

bloodshed.

Immediately npon the receipt of the telegram the secretary of war telegraphed General Funston to make an Investigation and to take precautions to obviate possibility of further trouble. Secretary Baker declared that a full report of tho Incident should he sent to him without delay. Indications that the Carranza an thorities In Mexico are at last permit ttng the railroads to be used tn supplying the American forces south of the border were given In a dispatch received at the war department, declaring that large quantities of fond supplies and gasoline delivered at Casas Grandes, the principal base of (he Mexican expedition, had been distributed there and stating that the problem of supplying troops had been simplified. Secretary Raker himself refused to say whether the railroad was being used, but the shipment referred to could not be at its destination so quickly except by rail.

CENTENNIAL NEWS LETTER. The Franklin county pageant, which is to be given at Urnokville, in the tirst week in June, is being written by Professor Charlton Andrews of Columbia University, New York. The Kokomo Dispatch has issued an Indiana Centennial edition of ten thousand copies. The Bloomington WorldCourier is preparing n similar edition. The Vincennes school tioard has selected names for the local public schools which will be used instead of numbers, among them being George Rogers Clark, William Henry Harrison, Teeumseh, Francis Vigo, Lincoln and James Whit-

comb Riley. Good!

Here is the right ring from the Montieello Journal: "Nothing short of a great calamity of some kind or the end of the world could stop White county's Centennial celebration from bring the biggest and grandest affair that was ever pulled off in the county.” Henl Hoosier spirit there! The Indiana Historical Commission proposes to issue a public statement soon, dividing the counties of the state, into ,nr (juiek or the Dead, on the basis of Centennial preparations now under, way. County chairmen will please take notice. A few will have to hurry to get ;

out from under.

The Woman's Club of Haleru held an Indiana open meeting, April 4, on the ! U)2nd anniversary of the founding of that historic town. Most appropriate) decorations and the colhrctiou of a splendid exhibit of historic relics fea tured the evening. An address was do livered by Director W. C. Woodward of the Historical Commission. Month Bend and Nitre Dame University, led by County Chnlrmnn F. A. Miller ami President John Cavanaugh, respectively, made the northern meet ing of the Historical Commission most enjoyable and profitable. The Ht. Joseph Valley, both historically and soenieally, offers rare jmssildlities for the pageant which is being prepared for presentation on the hanks of the beautiful Ht. Joseph river. At Ht. Mary-of-the Wood College, Miss Gertrude Schultz, member of the senior class, has just completed an artistic dramatization of "Alice of Uhl Vincennes.'' The play will lie presented by the seniors of the college and the graduating claes of the academy during commencement week, which will lie “Indiana week" at Ht. Mary-of-the Woods. The final essays of the class

of 1916 of the academy or high school are all on Indiana subjects. “Get to thinking! Lay plans! Clean upl Plant flowers!” is the quadruple slogan of the Huntinghurg committee which is engaging to see that the town presents a spic and span appearance «t the time of the Dubois county celebration in September. Holland, in the same county, is preparing to beautify its school grounds with flowers and shrubs ami to erect a Centennial brick arch over the entrance, each citizen to contribute a brick. Carry the news to Golduh! The following editorial paragraph from the Ft. Waym Hentlnel is to be rommendid moat heartily: "The exten sive celebration this year of Indiana's Centennial as a state is, after all, going to mean very much more than a mere transitory spectacle that shall entertain its thousands for the moment. It is going to tell a wondrous story and impress upon the minds of nil a grasp of the history of the state that will endure so long as they shall live. It is highly gratifying to note that those in charge of the work are going about it with this purpose in view. There is to lie nothing of the street fair, nothing of the cheap carnival, and nothing i*f tire tawdry a iron t the undertaking. Instead, we are to have the story of Indiana's start, growth and achievement presented in such form as to make every lloosier still prouder of his state and infinite ly better acquainted with its history.”
