Money to Move the Crops.
The time is fast approaching for the moving of crops in the
west and these seasons invariably occasion a great stringency in
money in the west. The Secretary of the Treasury is making great
efforts to reduce this stringency to a minimum and has taken steps
to place large sums of money at the disposal of the banks in the
western states such as Chicago. Indianapolis and other cities, and
these cities are to be distributing centres for large scopes of country
where the banks of the larger towns will be centres for smaller
sections of country. The plan of the secretary seems feasible.
While this will help very much to relieve the situation, at the same
time ‘the precaution is taken to amply secure the government in
this bi transaction.

} Tariff Debate Goes On.
he tariff measure is still absorbing the attention of the Senate.
The Senate is almost equally divided on the bill that is before that
body. Recently one of Alabama’s senators, a supporter of the
measure, died, so that with the loss of this supporter and the de-
fection on the Democratic side on some of the schedules, makes
the fight more keen and divides the upper branch of Congress that
those who honestly believe in the reduction of the tariff realize that
the margin is uncomfortably narrow and not any too certain for
real tariff reform.
; But regardless of what Congress may finally do, the nation is
ready and anxious to have a new tariff law enacted. “A full dinner
pail”’ gnd ‘‘a high tariff’’ slogan no longer appeal to the masses for
they have all lived under the high protective system and they are
still in the ditches.
Tammany vs. Sulzer.
Tammany is a great, a powerful and an ancient political organ-
jzation with a history. To belong to Tammany is to hold member-
ship in an organization that has power behind it. The history of
Tammany has not been a history of unselfishness. Tammany first
and the state second seems to be the guiding principle. Her mem-
bers must take orders and exectite the same, Wm. Sulzer was a
Tammany man. He was elected governor and on his election he
attempted to free himself from Tammany domination.
This has resulted in a contest between Tammany with Murphy
at the head, and Sulzer, governor of New York. The public admired
the stand Sulzer had taken, his fight for independence and his spirit
of defiance toward Tammany, but when a man fights an organiza-
tion that is tainted, he ought to be free from the organization’s
taint, and it looks as if Sulzer was not quite as he claims to be, and
that is the unfortunate part. He is against Tammany because
Tammany is so wicked and it looks as if Sulzer was wicked himself.
A large portion of the people who looked to New York during
the campaign for the nomination, and prior to the election for gov- |
ernor of that state, were somewhat amazed when William Sulzer
should be regarded as the foremost democrat in the Empire state.
Will he come through the test clean, or will he be discredited by
everybody.
: Mars on a Rampage.
' The Mexican situation has been critical for some time. The
government of Mexico has been unstable, consequently unsatisfac-
tory to foreign nations and unsafe to the people at home.
A ruler whose pathway to his position is clouded, and whose
acts towards his predecessor are not above suspicion. It is because
of these things that the government declined to recognize the
Huerta government, and at the same time has been dissatisfied with
ambassador Wilson, as a consequence his resignation was demanded
and ex-Governor John Lind, of Minnesota has gone to Mexico as the
personal representative of the President. Much depends upon the
report of Mr. Lind in shaping the future course of our government.
bd
Huerta is reported to have spoken strongly and bitterly against the |
United States, and the attitude of Mexico and the people toward
representative Lind was regarded as bitter.
Thus far representative Lind has not been molested and per-
haps Huerta has cooled off somewhat. There is an element in this
country that would like nothing better than war, but there is a sane
element here that believes war can be averted. It must not be for-
gotten, however, that millions of American dollars have been inves-
ted in Mexico, and those who invested their money are entitled to
the protection of their lives as well as their possesions in all parts
the civilized world. The nation must make good in protecting her
citizens and their rights wherever they may be.
With all the disturbances and unstable government in Mexico,
with all the hatred toward the United States, it is believed that the
cooler heads of both countries will be able to bring order out of
chaos and security out of danger.
MR. FARMER, you are expected to be in the parade on Farmers’
Day.

BRIDGE INSPECTORS.
Curtis K Bruner, Edward B. Sech-
ler and Edward Jones, who had been
appointed by the court to inspect the
bridge recently erected over North
Fork Creek, in Lincoln township, near
the residence of John Queer, yester-
day filed a report in which they find
that the span has been constructed
according to the plans and specifica-
tions on which the contract was
awarded. County Bridge Superin-
tendent Albert E. Reiman has filed a
report in which he concurs with the
finding of the inspectors.

A SLIP OF THE TONGUE
Aunt Mandy had obviously no in-
tention of perverting the truth, but
testimony had been so evidently
colored by the exeitement of the oc-
casion that at its conclusion the judge
requested the court stenographer to
read the transcript, so that the wit-
ness might correct her statements.
The gtenographer began:
‘What is your name?’
‘‘ Amanda Johnson.”’
‘What is your age?’’
“Fifty-eight.”
‘‘For de land’s sakes, jedge!’’ broke
in the excited Amahda. ‘‘Did Ah say
Ah was firty-eight yeahs old? Ah
mus’ have been plumb flustrated—
An shorely mus.” Why, dat aint my
aige, jedge—dat’s mah bus’ measure !”’

transformation, change the angle of
her Grecian band and make sure that
her skirt fitted like the peeling of a

the family pet ensonced upon the

Misfit Labels.
“Teconomizing sometimes produces
ludicrous results,” a woman said.
“When we moved last October we
used travelers’ tags to label the
kitchen supplies, and when we went
traveling in May we tried to save
money by using those same tags
which, as luck would have it, hap-
pened to get fastened on wrong side
up, and when we got down to the pier
all our luggage was labeled ‘Sugar,’
‘Flour,’ ‘Prunes,’ ‘Bread,’ and ‘Roast
Pork,’ instead of Laura, Margaret, and
Pauline Smith, and although we finally
got straightened out, you really can-
not blame the crew for slyly poking
fun at us all the way over.”
