Conference Committee

The tariff revision bill is now
under consideration by the confer
ence committee. 1t is extremely
probable that when the bill is re
ported back from the committee It's
contents will be in substantial &C
cord with the wishes of Senator Aid
rich. This means that it will not
be in harmony with political party
platform pledges.
Be it said to the everlasting honor
of the following named Republican
Senators that they voted against the
reputation of their party's pledge
by voting against the adoption OF
the Aldrich abonination when il
was put upon its final passage be.
fore going to the conference commit
tee, Beverage, Bristow, Brown,
Burkett, Clapp, Crawford, Cum
Minis, Dolliver, La Toilette, Nelson.
After the vote had been taken,
Aldrich promptly arose from his
seat and attempted to read the SEN
ators above named out of the Re-
publican party on the assumption
that they are not regular" In
view of the fact that these gentle
men voted, SO far as they could to
prevent a reputation of their
party's pledge, it is piece of the
most brazen impudence for autocrat
Aldrich to presume to excommuni-
cate them.
Aldrich has openly admitted that
the two per cent corporation tax
proposition was sprung upon the
Senate merely as subterfuge for
the purpose of defeating the pro-
posed income tax measure, and that
it would be permitted to stand but
two years. The corporations conf
IDENTIFY expect that, if this PROPOSE
ton shall become a law the United
States Supreme Court will declare
the tax unconstitutional in less than
two years. The avowed object of
the corporation tax amendment to
the tariff bill having already been
accomplished, it need be no cause
for surprise if Aldrich should order
the conference committee to cut it
out, and thus save litigation con-
corning it.
Since the foregoing was in type,
it has been given out that the Presi-
dent has gently but firmly Informed
Mr.. Aldrich that the conference COM
mittee must so readjust rates as to
comply with the pledge of the Re-
publican party to the people, else
the bill will not receive his sigma
ture. If this report be true it will
be a severe knock out" for the
Aldrich contingent.

The House of Representatives
ought to pull itself together and
blot out the Aldrich tariff revision
bill. This would not be repudia-
tion of party pledges, but it would
prevent an already bad condition of
tariff affairs from becoming worse.

MAKE GOOD
PROPHETS

When the katydids were chirping
busily in Lake county trees the mid
die of last July. and the air was heavy
with the almost intolerable sultry heat.
there were those who laughed a scorn-
full laugh when trusting individuals
who have implicit faith in the signs

lieve shook their heads and predicted
an early frost.
Now the laugh IS on the other side
1t is the prognosticators who are do
ing the laughing. for the past few
nights. just six weeks from the time
the katydids were heard to chirp, there
have been frosts. In some places in
Lake county they have been heavy.
devastating frosts. as in the lowIands
of Gary for example, where it is said
the truck farmers are big losers. In
other sections, the frosts were light,
doing little damage. But the fact re-
mains that the katydids have made
good as weather prohpets.

THE VALUE OF TIMES
ADVERTISING.

To be able to sell thousand
tons of coal on one day is a record
that the Lion Store may well be
proud of. That feat was performed
yesterday and completely demon
strated the efficacy of judicious ad-
vertising in The Times.
It is record that The Times is
proud of.
The only means that the peo-
pie of Hammond had Of knowing
that they could buy any amount Of
coal at so cents a ton below the
market price was through the col
uInns of The Times.
The advertisement appeared one
day and the 1000 tons were com
pletely sold out the next. People
who did not read the advertise
ments will be the losers to the ex-
tent of $5 to $40 on the winters
supply.
It is understood that another
coal sale will be held in the near
future.
Now what have you to say about
Times advertising?

BUILDING
ACCEPTED
Final Payments Made on
Contract for 100000 Ad-
dition st. Margaret's Is
Now Most Complete In
stitution in County.

Ihe fnal payments have been made
on the contract for the construction
of the 100000 addition to st. Mar
garet's hospital IN Hammond. and last
Monday Brother Anslen Wolf of ST.
Louis. the architect Tin chief accented
the building from Contractor ]. H. Nc
Clay.
This is the final act in the construc-
tion of the much-needed addition TO
the hospital, and it may now be safe
ly said that Hammond has the largest
and most complete hospital in north
ern Indiana.
The cost of the new addition was
approximately $4,000, and 1t is a re-
markable fact that Contractor McClay
did not have one dollars worth of ex-
tras that were not ordered by the Sis
ters of st. Francis
The last payment was the sum of
Slo,S36.S4. which was made to Con
tractor McClay. After accounts were
all squared up Mr.. McCIay made a
handsome donation to the hospital.
Those who have had the building Of
the new hospital under their supervis-
ION are loud in their praise of McCIay's
work He has been painstaking and
careful all of the way through, and all
The relations between the contractor
and the Sisters of st. Francis have
been pleasant and free from dissention
The work on the new building was
found complete in every detail. and If
is doubtful if there is another building
in Hammond that is more carefully
constructed.
