The Meade Globe is running a
small advertisement for drygoods
firm in Hutchinson. We had tie
same ad to place in The News, but
we are of the opinion it is not goo d
for town to advertise for a con-
Germ not even in the county. We
have always fought against the mail
order business and shall continue to
do SO as long as the home people,
or majority of the business men,
patronize the county paper. But
we are not criticising the Globe for
its action, really. You glance over
its pages and you will note very little
ad space taken by the Meade mer-
chants. To read the papers Of
Meade you would infer that the
town was only post-village, with
only whistling post and perhaps

postoffice and few little stores in
the town. a newspaper has to live
somehow and if the proper support
is not given in the town where it is
located, it must move or take such
patronage as comes to it from the
outside. The habit of sending away
from home has become almost fixed
with the people and the houses of
the eastern towns are recognizing
this fact and wish for the habit to
become permanent, and in order to
help matters some, are endeavoring
to get space in the country papers
where they may make known their
wares They will succeed when the
conditions are such as exist at

navs many of the city streets, repre-

That the paving men believe there
will he a lapse of time between now
and the time when the bonds are ac-
tually issued, is certified to by the
fact some have. brought their families
with them.
The specifications have been handed
in calling for the style of the differ

chosen. and the calling for bids and
issuing of bonds is practically all the

interest in the South. particularly the
Gulf States. than 1t ever has before. the
prospect OF the Panama Canal being
opened and closer railroad communici :
ton between the Illinois city and the

caso men look to their interests. as
was shown by the visit OF the commit

The migration to the South OF many
Illinois farmers has also given rise to
interest In that section and the people
there are anxious to learn more about
the attraction.

after his visit here, about what he will
have seen.

LUMBER RATES
WILL BE CUT
Changes in New Tariff
HIDES ON The FREE LIST
Democrats VIII Follow a Tariff for
Revenue.
II 4 Unaer.tood That Policy of Dem
ser.ts win BE to Critici.e Re-
publican Bill and oyer
Amendments.

Washington, March 8.-A cut of one
half in the duties on lumber and man
ufactures Of lumber is likely to be one
OF the changes provided by the new
tariff bill, which Is being printed prep
aratory to its final revision by the Re-
publican members of the House Ways
and Means Committee.
Another change that has been made
opcording to information from reliable
sources. is that hides have been placed
on the free list. There has been much
contention over the duties Of these two
articles, and while none of the members
Of the committee will verify the cor
rectness Of the reports. they are gen.
orally accepted by those who have been
following the work of the committee.
During the, hearings oh~the lumber
schedule the testimony was OF such q
character as to lead to the impression
that lumber would be put on the free
list. Such action was known to have
much support, II being claimed that
the forests Of the country could only
be conserved by admitting foreign lum-
Der to this country free Of duty.
Lumbermen have been working en-
ergetica1ly to prevent the placing of
lumber on the free list. They contend
that the rates Of duty should be in
creased. in order that the American in
dustry may compete with Canada.
The EFFORT to obtain free hides Is
made as often as there Is q revision
Of the tarin. 1t Is particularly advo-
Gated by the New England shoe and
leather manufacturers and is strongly
opposed by the cattle men of the West.
While nothing can be learned regard
ing the action OF the tariff reform
trainers in regard to the duties on
leather manufacturers II Is said they
have been materially reduced.
An opinion prevails that the plan is
to have the hide and leather schedule
ffxed in conference after the questions
have been thoroughly threshed out on
the moor of the House. in the Senate
Finance Committee and on the floor of
the Senate
Champ Clark. the minority leader of
the House, and the ranking Democrat
on the Ways and Means Committee.
ppent considerable time today with Rep
resentative Underwood of Alabama. of
the committee. in looking over the tar
ifr hearings and laying out the plan to
be followed by the minority in its fight
on the floor OF the House, While Mr..
Clark will make no definite statement.
until the tariff bill is submitted to the
minority members by the Republican
subcommittee, II Is understood that
the policy Of the Democrats will be to
crificfse the Republican bill and offer
amendments to 1t. They will follow a
tariff for revenue rather than q free
trade policy.
