The tendency of the times toward csntraliza-

every interest in which men are engaged pre-
sents sometimes very ridiculous if not alarming
features. evidenced from the following edi-
torial in the News
IAN esteemed contemporary makes an un-
warranted attack upon a proposed cooperative
association unless it knows of something
specifically rotten in the one in question
Nothing Is successful in England
than similar concerns, and they are
equally successful in Eastern cities of this coun-
try-Washineton City, for instance. AS to
reputable Manufacturers and dealers not selling
TO private customers at wholesale prices, there
is at least one concern here that for years has
done that very thing. and daily advertises it.
There Ia no reason why people shouldn't COM

Here is a journal which. receiving its greatest
patronage from that portion OF the community

A Straw from Rush County.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal.
Speaking of 'sstraws." won't this about Offset
the one reported in Mondays Journal, in Judge
Gresham's favora Harrison 141. Gresham 2.
the almost unanimous feeling here is that Gen.
Harrison is not only the very strongest pos
sible presidential candidate for Indiana, but for
the whole country as well. And there is very
evident and expressed feeling of disgust at the
stand taken by Judge Greshanas friends in his
interest a candidate. Indeed. there is a sim
cere belief that his nomination would render ali
hopes of success next November ridiculous.
The expression most frequently heard when
Gresham Is mentioned is, ''let at least have 8

Whether this belief that Gresham ''mug-

Close Up the Cigar Shops on Sundays.
To the Editor OF the IndianapoIs Journal

To the Editor of the Indianapolis JournaE
While the movement in favor of closing the
barber shops Sunday has met with such
strong support it might be well to call public
attention to the cigar and tobacco business.
There is not IS much reason for cigar stores to
keep open Sunday as there Is for barber shops
and some other lines OF business. The saloon
must stay closed on Sundays for obvious moral
and social reasons. Factories stores, etc., are
closed because law and public sentiment de-
mand a cessation of business Sunday. The
is all the stronger for closing cigar stores
on Sunday. The Supreme Court decided that
cigars are not necessity. The idea that a man
who bad acquired appetite for tobacco should
be privileged TO violate the general Sunday OBJ
servance while the ordinary necessities cannot
be puschased on Sunday shows its own absurd
ity The cigar stores should close on Sunday
Every smoker conveniently supply himself
the day before Such step would commend
itself to Sunday observers. and any feeling that
one class of citizens allowed by the law
more time to do business than another class
without reason, would be removed. / belong 10
the class who smoke, try to observe Sunday
and believe this can be consistently done.

A gentleman who has just returned

asked why he had not brought home
from Egypt. among his other curios, a
mummy. He said there was great
deal of fraud in the mummy business.

like to get them as well preserved and
misunderstanding as possible, and as
those found are generally In more or
