The ghost of the tariff situation with
Germany has come back to haunt the
stand patters. On July Of this yeat
the modus vivendi with Germany will
expire. and if no other scheme can be
Matched up to keep it off the new Ger
man tariff law will go into effect. That
law discriminates so heavily against
American products in retaliation for
our high tariff law that experts believe
1t will practically wipe out our export
trade to Germany This is bad enough.
but greater danger lies in the pos
si5ility that England aud other Euro
pean countries may follow Germany's
example. If we should yield to Ger
many and give her a concession In the
line of special low rates on her prod
uets entering our ports. there is no
doubt that other countries will demand
similar favors on threat of raising q
maximum tariff wall against us. The
administration is greatly puzzled as to
what to do, and no wonder.
While the strong tariff reduction
sentiment within this country has had
no effect In driving the stand patter~
from their stubborn and unreaqonahl,
position. it seems quite within the
range of the probable that foreigners
may accomplish that which our own
tariff reformers find so difficult At all
events. the tariff barons" will find ii
hard to resist the appeals of Americans
who have beef and wheat to sell and
at the same time wage tariff wa,
against all Europe. If Americans are
wise. they will take steps to reduce the
high tariff and avoid a tariff war that
might destroy for a time our foreign
markets.

Affected by Hot Weather,


The unreasonable hot weather lately
appears to have excited the cerebrum
cerebellum and medulla oblongata Of
Uncle Shelby NJ. CuIom of Illinois
who looks like Abraham Lincoln on
the outside-to remarkable degree
Usually Uncle Shelby Is mild as a
sucking dove. but recently he has de
ciared that Mr.. Hartman deserves to
be hanged! That's most remarkable
statement to be made by such ven
cradle statesman as the senior and per.
petual senator from Illinois. If his col
league. Senator III. j. Hopkins. who
wears ttianesque hair and has red.
hot temper, should say a thing like
that, nobody would wonder. Or should
Billie Mason express such luyid
opinion 1t would be taken as matte,
of course. But for Uncle Shelby to do
SO Is startling proposition. 1t will be
remembered that when Robespierre
was quite young man he resigned
1udgeship rather than pass the death
sentence on a convicted murderer. vet
he lived to be so callous as to order
scores of the finest heads i'm France 70
be chopped off before breakfast every
morning. Uncle Shelby must certainly
be listening once more to the fascnat
ing h'lzzing of the presidential bee
There Is no telling what n man suffer
ing from the presidential fever will do
lie has just begun his full fifth term
IN 1he senate and If he lives has at
least six years more in which TO ex
plot his opinions. and it may be that
he made this fling at Hartman in or.
der to bring the multitude f1ockinp "a |
MS presidential banner. 1t must make |
the cold chills creep up and down the |
spinal columns of Hartman ct id genus |
omne to read such extreme talk from |
the Nestor Of Illinois Republicans In
the meantime If Uncle Shelby is n |
presidential candidate he would do we'll /

A Bloody Feud.

The fact that President Roosevelt
turned down both Senators Foraker
and Dick and appointed Hon. Theodore
IL. Burton's protege as United States
judge for the southern district of Ohio
proves two things. both very interest

dictionaries with every weapon at his

In America today are Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt and Colo.
mel William Jennings Bryan.
Tney have both been running for pres
1dent ever since they learned that there
Is such an office known among men.
Roosevelt has reached the goal. and
The chances are that Bryan will keep
on running till he reaches it. The 9th

nounces that he will remain active II

1s too modest. There is I'nc3e .Tcy
Cannon, for instance, who is sel en-;
one and who IL running for president
just as fast as lie can Should Uncle
Joe be nominated ana elected he would
be seventy-seven when his first term
expired. So Bryan has set his final
exit from political activity at least
eight years too early judged by the
Cannon standard and some twenty
years too soon judged by the standard
of Senator Pettus of Alabama.
Colonel Roosevelt has as yet fixed
no limit to his political activities
Were ! to express my own opinion IT
would be chat death is the only limit
to the political activities of either Colo
mel Bryan or Colonel Roosevelt. They
both love the game, and they will new
er swear off-never
While Colonel Roosevelt has not fix
ed the time to retire from politics,
Judge Theodore E. Burton of Ohio,
who now appears TO he cheek by jew1
with him and who is putting in all his
spare time boosting Mr. Secretary
Taft has stated in public speech
lately that "Mr. Roosevelt might be
looked to as a national leader in 1917
1916 or 1920"-that is, according TO
Brother Burton, after Taft has had his
day In the White House. President
Roosevelt may be nominated and elect
ed again-all of which is long range
shooting surely. AS the French say.

Brandon Bank St0Ckh olders'
Meeting.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the Brandon Bank was he Id
In the bank building on Wednesday,
January 2, 1907. The old officers and
directors were reelected and all were
we'll pleased with the fine showing
made by the bank in its last year. 8
business.
An annual dividend of 10 per cent.
was declared, payable to the stock
holders Immediately. Net profits Of
the bank during the year amounted to
q little more than 50 per cent. Of the
capital stock. There IL probably no
other bank in the state which made
quite 30 fine showing as this.
The bank was organized six years
ago and the stockholders have re-
ceived annual dividends of 10 per cent,
and in addition to this, the stock
which was originally sold at 500 per
share is now worth $500 per share and
none for sale at that price. This is =
very fine showing for the bank, and Is
pr obably the best in the state.
