Landlord John Hassen is now spinning over the roads in his auto mobile which he purchased last Saturday of Mr. Laird at Hughes ville. It is a line Ford machine. Mr. A. C. Jenkons presented the Editor with some very choice let tuce and a lot of potatoes, which of a very line llavor and the largest we have seen this year. On Tuesday evening Laporte was awakened from its evening nap by a terrific noise in the neighborhood of Hotel Bernard. It sounded like all the reports of which a gasoline engine is capable, intermingled with cow bells, tin pans, and horse lid die. There was no "let up" for quite a while, all wondered wlvat it could be when someone spoke up in a decided tone "Oh ! shut the window its only John Hassen try ing to start his automobile!" All were retined to find it was only the Calthumpian Band serenading Frank Newhart and his bride who had been married that day. There are quite a number of boys to lie seen on our streets every evening, under sixteen years of age both smoking and chewing tabacco. It might be well to investigate where these boys get their tobacco. The law provides as follows: No person or persons shall, by purchase, gift or other means furnish tobacco in any form, to a person under the age of sixteen years. Any person violating the laws of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction shall lie sentenced to pay a fine, not exceeding SSIOO, or undergo confinement in the county jail for a period not exceeding .'SO days or both as the court, may de termine.

WE HAVE THEM AT 50c PER DOZEN. THE NEWS ITEM <s A TARIFF POLICYTHAT SUITSJMERICANS They Do Not Propose to Pull Down Their Fences. They Do Intend to Protect Ameri can Labor and Industry. And They Are Fairly Well Satified With Results Thus Far. We ask our readers tore id again with special attention our para graphs from an interview given by W. R. Hearst to an English news paper yesterday. The English are in a hopeful mood just now. l'hey hope that we will let them manage w hat we built. They hope that we will accept seriously Professor Wilson's pro gramme and make this a free trade country —which would bo very pleasant for free trade England. In a previous statement Mr. Hearst had pointed out the fact that the Americans propose to man age the American canal without English supervision. And in the statement quoted be low we make it quite clear that the people of this country remember the story of the fox that lost his tail—and advised the other foxes to cut their tails off, as it is much nicer not to have any tail. The United States finds the bushy tail of propection for industry and labor quite useful and comfortable, and does not propose to chop it off, simply because England is muti lated. We invite special attention to our readers again to some para graphs in Mr. Ilearst'slatest state ment—these paragraphs express clearly and in condensed forn the opinions of at least nine-tenths of the citizens of this country. And it is well to have the English learn, and hi ve politicians in thi , 'intry learn, that the Americans will not experiment with the free trade of England, a free trade forced upon Great Britain by the fact that her own territory was incapable of feeding her own population. Mr Hearst Bays: \ " Tliere are some abuses iu the tariff which need correction, but for my part I believe in a proper tariff for protection, and I believe that the growth of the unexampled prosperity of America has been largely stimulated by the principle of protection, in spite of certain j abuses in the system." 'Mr. Wilson says that, we have grow n to such a point of production that we overflow our own markets and that we must extend our mark ets and open up foreign markets to our produce. •'This is quite true; but one reason that we fill and overflow our own markets is because legiti mate protection has prevented the product of foreign manufacturers and foreign cheap labor from in vading our markets and yrowding our own manufacturer* and our own laborers out of business." "If we have had such splendidly prosperous business conditions at home, it would not be well or wise to alter too rapidly or too radically the system under which these splendidly prosperous business con ditions have developed. Further more, we cannot secure the mark ets of foreign nations merely by re ducing our own tariff wall. We must reduce the tariff wall of fore ign nations. "By demolishing our own tariff fence we may get out of our own pasture, but cannot get into the pasture of foreign nations until we have demolished their tariff fences. "If we sacrifice our protective policy we sacrifice our one oppor tunity to lower the tariff bars of foreign countries. It is only by reciprocity that the tariff bars 0/ 1 foreign countries can be lowered, i "If we maintain our protective 1 fence we can say to foreign count jries: 'We will lower our bars to I your products if you will lower | your bars to our products.' But if we have no tariff fences we can ! make no sueli beneficial bargain. I "Mr. Wilson also disapproves of 1 American business men, and con siders them 'ignorant' and 'provin cial.' lam almost disposed irri tably to contradict this' statement of Mr. Wilson. SI.OO PER YEAR C. S. DAUBERMAN, EDITOR "American business men are the greatest b siness men in the world and have made America the great est business nation in the world. They are accumulating in America tht; wealth of the world, and they are employing their wealth in a way which excites the admiration of the world. "Some of our business men, like Rockefeller, are endowing univer sities for the advancement of learn ing and supporting institutions of medical and surgical experiment for tlie benefit of our own people and of all mankind. "Others of our business men, like Carnegie, are endowing librar ies for the dissemination of univers al knowledge and maintaining ob servatories and other scientific establishments for the extension of scientific research and the develop ment of scientific pursuits. "Other again, like Morgan, are are assembling in America the art and library treasures of the world tor the development of our tastea and perceptions, and for the higher culture of our people in the refine ments and intellectual enjoyments of life. "Our business men have been able to do all this without Mr. \V ilson's guidance, and in spite of his poor opinion of them it is just possible that under the guidance of college professors these 'ignorant' and 'provincial' business men of our : might not have accomplished as much for themselves and their country as they did when left to their own resources. "Mr. Wilson's dogmatic and didy c declarations have all the l>( _iess of the j-edagogue who has theories on everything and ex perience in nothing. His is the customary attitude of the collage professor who knows everything, having read it in books, where it was written down by other college professors with equally infallible knowledge based on equally uni versal inexperience. "It is an interesting thing to see a college professor lecturing practi cal business men on the practical problems of business from the musty rooms of one of the colleges which the practical success of these busi ness men had enabled them to endow. "I do not wonder that English men are interested in this phase of American polities, but I think that the sound sense of American citi zens will prevent any foreign country being unduly benefitted at our expense by the hasty applica tion of the undigested theories of some of our well-meaning, but in experienced, statesmen." The above extracts from Mr. Hearst's statement to the news paper, following the statement of this country's determination to manage the canal that we built, expresses well the opinions of the majority of the citizens of this country. Candidates for office who cannot make themselves agree with this analysis of the situation will find® it difficult to make voters agree with them. This country proposes to protect the United States, its workers and its manufacturers—and that with out permitting the construction of tariffs for the benefit and protection of trusts. Those that would kill the tariff absolutely, in order, as they think, to cluck the trusts, simply play the part of the tame bear that smashed his master's head with a rock in order to kill the fly on his master's nose.-JVVw York Evening Journal, Sept• ljf -15 Years Old Boy Charged With Murder Sunbury, Pa., Sept.
