Tariff revision looms up more and more surely as the issue of the coming Congress. The Tar iff League, presumably of the United States, but which has its headquarters in Chicago, has come out with a vicious attack on the possible nomination of Secretary Taft because he is credited with being a free trad er. Free trade Republicans are about as common as albino Afri cans, and Secretary Taft is noth ing of the sort. But he is a tar tariff - iff tariff revisionist confessedly so, and he stands for the Philippine tar tariff - iff tariff bill which was defeated in the last Congress, not because it could not have passed the Senate, but because there did not happen to be a majority of its friends on the Senate committee that pig eonholed it. Secretary Taft will have a good many more serious things to answer for than free trade proclivities when his polit ical account is cast up, for in all probability a majority of the A- merican people are heartily with him on the subject of tariff re reform. - form. reform. The recent convention of the Manufacturers' Association had a show of hands on this same tariff proposition and it was found that 55 per cent of the manufac turers were heartily in favor of tariff revision and only 20 per cent were flat against it. The remainder were wavering and had qualified answers. Thus it would appear that in spite of Speaker Cannon's distaste for the subject the rank and file of the party will insist on its dis cussion when the next Congress meets and if the "leaders'' in sist on delay, the best that they will be able to do in all probabil ity will be to secure the appoint ment of an 1 'unprejudiced com mission" that is to say as badly prejudiced a commission as they can secure to go all over the schedules and spend several months in accumulating data for longwinded debates on the floor of Congress. It is not generally known, but the government is regularly a party to fostering the tipping evil and this practice has now been extended. When govern ment officials travel, they are al lowed to charge in a certain a- mount for tips in their traveling accounts. Heretofore the dis bursing officers of the depart ments have allowed them to tip the Pullman porters and conduc tors and hotel porters. But now there has been a regular allow allowance - ance allowance added for the waiter on the dining cars., This officially a- mounts to "40 cents per day. Some statistically-minded indi individual - vidual individual connected with the Inter Interstate - state Interstate Commerce Commission has figured out that there are ' 725 employees of the government traveling on the railroads every day. If these tip the waiters 40 cents a day it will amount to $290 day and this figures out $102,- 850 a year. It has been officially assumed heretofore that the em ployees of the government went down into their pockets for tips of this sort. But it is an erron eous supposition. Tips are dis bursed and other small expendi tures made by officials when traveling that they know will not be allowed by the auditing offi cers, but these always get into the expense account as "station ery" or "messenger-service'' or something else that will be passed and that does not require a vou cher. But possibly it is just as well to have this regular sort of tip legalized. Some comment has been caused by the announcement of the ap appointment - pointment appointment of Lloyd Griscom, for former - mer former minister to Japan, to be Ain-

Jay county has a plea pleasant - sant pleasant cottage built there, with two old couples occupying it. The Home is on beautiful grounds, laid out by Nature, with caves, pits, hills and beautiful rivulets, walks and steps. We asked an old couple from this city, who have been in the Home about a year, how they liked the Home and if they were happy here. They replied they had plenty to eat and wear, a good hospital, if sick, where they would get good nursing, and felt very thankful for such a home 6f pleasure in their old days. Thanks to a grateful nation and the beautiful state of Indiana for the kindness to our old comrades in their de clining years.

Mr. Griscom is one of the young men of the diplomatic service and the young youngest - est youngest that has ever held the rank of resident ambassador. He is orly 35 and was formerly secre secretary - tary secretary of legation at Constantinople and afterward minister to Tur Turkey. - key. Turkey. He is a thoroughly capable young fellow in spite of having a father who is very rich and nev never - er never having had to make his own way in the world. It would seem that the only difficulty about his appointment as ambassador is that it does not leave much else for him to be in the diplomatic corps. It is said that the great finan cial interests in New York are looking forward with hope not unmingled with anxiety to the President's next -speech -which, will be delivered in Indianapolis on Decoration Day. It is antici pated that he will in this speech make a clear statement of his maturer , policy during the re remaining - maining remaining momentous months of his administration. It is thought that he will definitely state his policy toward the strong anti anti-corporation - corporation anti-corporation sentiment in the country. It is surmised that he will define more clearly than he has done heretofore in his mes messages - sages messages to Congress the differences between himself and other lead ing Republicans on the question affecting legislation bearing on public utilities. He may outline his position with regard to the valuation of railroad property and this outline may emphasize a difference in degree"though not in kind between him and Senator LaFollette on this important question. It is said that Secre Secretary - tary Secretary Taft will soon take a swing around the circle with a portfolio of speeches and it is predicted there will not be any lack of har harmony - mony harmony between his views and those which the President is ex expected - pected expected to express at Indianapolis. This will be equivalent to laun ching the candidacy of Secretary Taft with the formal, I might say official, approval of the Ad Administration - ministration Administration and it will doubtless add greatly to his popularity with the many, who, if they cannot have Roosevelt for a third term, will transfer their faith to the man he recommends. The Brownsville investigation is dragging wearily along. There is no doubt that the Senate com mittee, and especially Senator Foraker, is very tired of it. It has failed entirely to answer his purpose. Indeed, from the evi dence now being given, itisprob able the investigation will result in his complete discomfiture. The venerable Senator Pettus of Al . abama, who is a member of the ; Brownsville investigation com j mittee, was at the White House last week, and when accosted by the newspaper men on leaving the executive mansion, is said to have produced considerable con-

All is Lovely in Ohio Politics. BY LEO. A while back it seemed as if i storm was about to bursfupon us It was somewhat uncertain as to the relative strength of the Taf t and Foraker forces in the state, and no one could tell just how the senior senator would conduct himself in case the adherents of Taf t would prove more numerous than his own. The senator is well known as a sturdy fighter, and it was feared he would fight desperately, even against the in inevitable. - evitable. inevitable. Air that feeling has passed a a-way. - way. a-way. The storm failed to break upon us, the air is serene, the clouds are scattered, and in Ohio Republican politics all -is lovely once more. "Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of Taft; And all the clouds that lowr'd upon our party In the deep bosom of the ocean buried." All this is due mainly to two things, to-wit : The preponderat preponderating - ing preponderating popularity of Secretary Taft, and the keen sight of Senator Foraker. There was no doubt in our mind as to the strength of the Taft movement, but it seemed in danger of obstinate opposition from the machine. Fortunately Senator Foraker was quick to perceive the great desire of Ohio Republicans to make Taft the candidate for the chief magis magistracy - tracy magistracy next year, and he was wise enough to restrain himself in face of an overwhelming public sen sentiment. - timent. sentiment. One speech at Canton sufficed. How stand matters now? There has been no formal bargaining, no compromise of any kind ; but there is a tacit understanding that Taft is to be endorsed for the presidency, that Governor Harris is to be continued in the governorship, and that Foraker is to have a chance to fight for his political life next year. Is it not lovely? "Peace hath her vir virtues. - tues. virtues. " We have a peace victory in Ohio just now. Next year war will be again. The great senior senator of Ohio will have the fight of his life,, a fight for his toga. So many have come to believe that the senator senatorial - ial senatorial toga should be given to some other aspirant that" Foraker, though possibly the ablest man in the Senate of the United States, should be retired to private life to enjoy his millions in peace, be because, - cause, because, forsooth, he is out of har harmony - mony harmony with the trend of politics in Ohio, as well as in the country at large. The plea is that some younger man representing things as they are should be .sent to the Senate to co-operate heartily with the forthcoming Taft administra administration. - tion. administration. Senator Foraker could not co-operate with an administra tion like the present one, there fore the interest of the party would be enhanced by sending to the Senate a man in complete sympathy with the trend of things. That is a common sense view ; but will Senator Foraker see it in that light? He may not, but we think that his keen vision will not fail him. He is a great fight er, 't is true, but his penetrating sight will forbid him fighting for " what the people of Ohio will want to bestow on some one else. If some younger man v wilt en ter the list against Foraker nex vear the senator can not consist ent object,, for he himself, a
