MR. BRYAN COULD NOT REVISE THE TARIFF ALONE.
earttoHeart
r Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE
Copyright 1308, br Ed win A. Nye,
MR. BRYAN'S ATTITUDE ON THE tariff is attracting some attention
thps davs and what he says in regard to it, is of course, a matter of In
terest to those who will support him and to those, as well, who oppose his
views. Much that Mr. Bryan said in his recent speech on the tariff is true,
much of it is rambling. There are plenty of good republicans who are con
vinced that the inequalities of the present tariff schedule need urgent re
vision. We fail to see, however, where the election of Mr. Bryan would
advance the cause of tariff revision. After March 4, no matter if a re
publican or a democrat be elected president and the house of representa
tives be controlled by either party, the senate will be republican for four
years. It will be impossible of course to pass a tariff bill when the house
nT1fi spnatfl are at loersrerheads politically. Mr. Taft's answer to Mr. Bryan
on this subject is direct as is the republican platform. He will, if elected,
next March call congress in extra session and when it assembles he will
submit a message urging a revision of the tariff along lines advocated by
him two years ago, but he will advocate its revision along protectionist lines.
He will not stand for a levy that is higher than is needed to equalize labor
cost at home and abroad. He will give the American manufacturer a
chance to continue in business and give employment to the workingmen.
Thus the only hope of revision is in the election of Mr. Taft and a repub
lican house of representatives. We hope that Mr. Bryan will convince the
voters that tariff revision is needed, for when he does he makes a strong
argument for the election of Taft It Is only by the election of Mr. Taft
that the tariff can be revised. Mr. Bryan couldn't revise it for four years,
for the republican senate would deadlock him and bind him fast, even
though he had the house behind him- The beginning of tariff revision is
in fact being taken now in the work of the special senate commission of
investigation. You can't reform the tariff on the stump. Diatribes won't
reform it. It is the business interest of the country who will settle the
tariff question on economic lines, not the heroics of Mr. Bryan.
OVER-CONFIDENCE A DANGEROUS ENEMY.
THRE IS A GENERAL TONE OF satisfaction evinced in the repub
lican press at the results of the Vermont election and it is not without
cause. Let it not breed an atmosphere of dangerous over-confidence. The
Vermont vote is cited as a political pendulum which has in the past two
decades shown which way the national elections have swung. All signs
fail in dry weather, however, and if the republicans think it sufficient to
lay black on their oars because Vermont has returned a republican ma
jority, a sad day of reckoning is apt to be drawing near. Little Vermont
is a very small part of a very large country. It is foolish to say that the
democrats ever had any hope of carrying it or pulling down the majority
below twenty thousand. The central west and far west, where Mr. Bryan
will do the major portion of his work, will not be heard from until Novem
ber 4. It is in these portions of the country where the battles will be
fought. It is here where the republicans must gird on their armor and ex
haust every resource in their possession to carry the states, they need to
carry to land Mr. Taft in the White House with a house of representa
tives behind him. The republicans in every precinct, ward, township, city,
county and state will have to strain every nerve to win. The times are
propitious for the election of the republican presidential candidate, but the
enemy is watchful and has its fires lighted on a thousand hills. Over-
confidence has been the bane of governments in the past. Do not let his
tory repeat itself.
HOW TO DO BIG THINGS.
Ever stop and watch the erection of
a modern steel building?
How slowly it Is assembled!
There is a shrill whistle from the
foreman. The engineer of the dinky
little engine pulls a lever. A big der
rick swings out over the sidewalk. A
chain dangles down from the derrick.
Two men put the chain around a steel
beam. . One of them stands on the
beam, holding to the chain by his
bands. Again the whistle. Again the
engineer pulls the lever. The steel
beam danzles in midair. The man
rides it It goes up
Up, tip, up to the fourteenth story.
Again the whistle. The beam is low
ered a little. The rider guides it
Then men at either end grasp it The
piece of steel Is gently forced Into Its
place. The men make It fast with
bolts.
The chain is loosed. The whistle
tlows. The derrick and chain are low
ered again, and the process is repeated.
Day after day, hour after hour, the
work goes on. The whistle blows, the
little engine feels the clutch that calls
for higher speed and more power, and
slowly, but sorely, the steel beams are
hoisted to their places.
The building is going together the
only way it can be put together piece
by piece, a little at a time.
First there was a plan.
An architect made the plan. In the
beginning the plan was in his mind.
He made a rough draft Then his
assistants worked out every feature
elaborately in blue prints. The build
ing must follow the plan.
So is every great task performed.
But mind von
Not only the COMPUTED work Is
seen in advance, but the PROCESS by
which the work is completed; not only
fthe WHOLE is seen, but the PARTS
If thejtmilder could see nothing but
(Che completed building he would be ap
palled at the prospect. But he sees it
pis a combination of details. He can
do this big thing only by doing many
tittle things, and be can do them.
Here is where most men fall down.
Most men see a task loom large and
aire afraid. The wise man. sees it as It
as a large task made up of many little
tasks and Is brave to try it
Dare to do big things.
Big things are little things aggre
gated. -

"SnCKUP" RETURNS BOOTY.
Dr. Edward C. Davidson ol Lafay

year ago of $60 and a $500 watch by
William J. Hyde and a confederate,
yesterday was given a check for $225
by a man giving the name of C. E.
Channell of Gloversvllle, N. ' Y., who
said he was Hyde's friend and wanted
to settle his accounts.
CENTENARY A SUCCESS.
The third day of the Brookville cen
tenary was attended by more than
9,000 persons, a third of whom came
from surrounding towns. The county
fair exhibit of farm products, the big
feature of the celebration, was viewed
by thousands. Most of the spectators
came by appointment to meet out-of-town
friends.
WANTED TO ATTEND CONVENTION.
"Everybody wants a ticket every
body wants to hear Hearst,' said R.
M. Isherwood, secretary of the inde
pendence party, yesterday. "We have
issued hundreds of tickets from these
headquarters today. The meeting to
morrow night will be one of the big
gest that has ever been held in a the
ater in Indianapolis."
ROMANCE IS ENDED.
The climax of a romance of years
ago came when Frank F. Rose of
Bloomington, Texas, one of the wealth
iest ranchmen of that state, arrived
In Princeton and immediately married
Mrs. Llllie Schnautz of Haubstadt, this
county. The two were sweethearts in
their youth, but drifted apart, and each
married and lived happily until bereft
of their companions by death.
PROVIDE FAIR TRAINS.
The Lake Erie & Western, the Big
Four, the C, H. & D. and Monon and
the Louisville division of the Pennsyl
vania plan to run extra trains to In
dianapolis state fair week, which will
depart in the evening at a later hour
than the present schedule.
ALLOT SPACE AT GROUNDS.
Members of the state board of ag
riculture, who at this season of the
year are given the title of department
superintendents, will begin today the
task of allotting space to exhibitors
at the state fair grounds.
MACHINE ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
The Parkhurst stamp vending ma
chine which was placed In the main
corridor of the Federal building at In
dianapolis this week has attracted
much attention. It will be given a
thirty day test and if it is satisfac
tory may be adopted by the United
States government.
BUILT FIRST AUTO.
Kokomo today celebrated the fif
teenth annual of the building of the
first gasoline automobile constructed
in America, a product of the brain and
skill of Elwood Haynes of this city.
Despite the heavy layer of dust cov
ering the country roads there was a
representative attendance ol automo- I Louisville S3
bile enthusiasts from nearby cities, al- Indianapolis 81
though the roads were responsible for
the diminished attendance at the event.
TOO FAT TAKES POISON.
Because she was too fat and be
lieved she was a burden to herself and
to her relatives, Mrs. Mabel Zust of
Kokomo, 54 years old, and weighing
more than 300 pounds, took her life
by swallowing laudanum. The coro
ner announced a verdict of suicide.
PRAY FOR RAIN.
If this week closes without rain fall
ing in the country, prayers for relief
from the drought will be offered in
Richmond next Sunday in many of the
churches in the country districts and
also in some of the city organizations.
BLOODY GARTER TELLS TALE.
The disappearance of Miss Ella

girl had been slain and thrown into

"METS" GIVE UP FIGHT.
New York, Sept. 3. Members of the
"Mets," one of the strongest bookmak
ing organizations the turf world has
known, have given up the fight against
the authorities in this city. Not only
do but few visit the track of an aft
ernoon, but even these go merely In
the capacity of spectators, so far as
can be learned.
This is taken as significant of the
feeling of the turf world in general
toward the situation. Even the horse
men now realize that their days of
grace are but few. The track author
ities barred some members of the
Metropolitan organization when the
meeting opened Saturday, but these
have made no effort to enter the track
again and evidently have no wish to do
so.

NEW FOOTBALL DOPE.
STILL THE GIANTS CLIMB.
Two kicks at the cardinals for one
admission made the cub fans feel pret
ty god yesterday, but a slant at the
score board, showing the same kind of
clean-up for the giants, offset much
of the Joy. The statistics compiled at
the West Side park represented a shut
out victory for Overall, 5 to 0 and an
8 to 2 pushover for Jack Pflester.
McCloskey's cardinals were a little
worse than usual. They were so bad
that Johnny Lush walked out of the
first game and refused to pitch any
more. "Bugs" Raymond did the same
thing in the second spasm. The way
the St Louis fielders fumbled, muffed
and loafed in going after base hits
was enough to make any pitcher want
to quit, and this pair deliberately
walked out of the box, without any
word from the manager.
