-J - THE
TARIFF.
The tariff bill now before the Senate
can't stand the light of publicity that
is being turned upon it by the Democrats.
It is about th? worst that has
ever been proposed. and even its
friends are ashamed of it It may be
passed by an ill-advised party, but it
wOl not be long before it is repudiated
by the people.

The Republican machine of Pennsylvania
was thrown all out of gear by
the primary' election in the Keystone
State last week Cifford Pinchot. an
independent progressive candidate for
Governor, won over Alter, the "regular"
candidate, by a majority of lb.000,
when by all calculations of the
bosses Alter should have several hundred
thousand majority. The Old
Guard Republicans are simply stunned
by the result, following so soon after
the defeat of Senator New in Indiana,
and thev are unnitcrino

Now for Lodge, in Massachusetts!
IN A TIGHT PIJVCE.
The personal and political opponents
of Attorney-General Harry M. Daugh-,
crty have gotten that gentleman into a j
pretty tight place Senator Caraway (
charged that Mr. Haugherty had been
seriously mixed up in the very questionable
proceedings by which Charles
T. Morse, a notorious New York financial
crook, had been delivered from
the penitentiary. This was before Mr.
Daugherty was made Attorney-General,
artd perhaps was not worse than things
that other lawyers not over-scrupulous
do for big fees Unfortunately for the
Afforney-General, however, he recently
ri?de denial of certain facts in conn-sction
with the Morse affair that are
row substantiated by written documents,
and he is not only in a hole him''
but he has put some eminent gen
*men who defer.Jed him in a most unr'er-sant
predicament
This is an embarrassment to Pres'e-t

| "Within the past week or two the cement
combine put up prices twenty #ents a
barrel, though everybody knew that the
old price o? S2.6I was plenty high
enough. The reason given by the man- ,
ufacturers for the increase is that the '
coal strike has caused an advance in
cost of making crment.
Concrete roads are admitted to be
among the best of the permanent types
of hard roads. The demand for cement,
of course, is enormous, and the
combination that controls the industry
sees a chance to make its high j
price, still higher and jumps its quotations
to unreasonable and extortion- j
ute rates which road builders will not
ho lustifled in meeting They will b?

of the greediness of the cement man- ;

H?AND THEN THE HAIL CAME."
You have heard this many a time; a
neighbor or a friend describing a crop

telling of the monev in hi? hanHe
"?and then the hail came."
Of course we could go on the old
way?taking a chance; having our fling
wigi the weather, winning or losing and
worrying all the time. Just so folks
used to gamble with fire, but what propcrty
owner today would consider leavign
his property uninsured?
We will take this chance for you at
i very small cost.
