'London, Sept. 14.—In a signed
statement in the London Daily Express, William Randolph Hearst, the
American Democratic publisher,
pays tribute to President Taft's
leadership in the Panama canal
question and says that other presidential nominees do not dare take a
conflicting view. Mr. Hearst also
terms Woodraw Wilson a "theorist"
and rejects his free trade views and
resents hiB criticism , of American
business men. These Hearst warmly
defends as the most and patriotic
business men.in the world.   •
"The dogmatic and didactic" declaration of Governor Wilson irritates
Mr. Hearst, who declares that the
American people will never permit
the abandonment of the protection
policy.   His statement follows s
I do not think there* is any great
difference of opinion entertained by
tjhe three leading candidates in re->
gard to this canal question.. I think
I can say that the American people
are practically a unit in support of
" President Taft's attitude on this
question. **•
The newspapers which took a position in   opposition   to   President
^Taft and in support of foreign claims
J and home   corporations have been
whipped into   line   with   President
Taft's attitude by the force of popular opinion.
I do not think that either Mr. WU
son or Mr. Roosevelt would jeopardize his election by taking a position
in opposition to President Taft's attitude.
I do not .approve of Mr. Wilson's
policy of a tariff for«revenue only,
nor do I think that he improves his
position when he declares in support
of gradual reduction of the tariff.- A
gradual reduction of the tariff means
a continual reduction of the tarifi
and the continual disturbance of, the
tariff means continual disturbance of
business.
It would be much better for the
Democrats to adopt a very definite
f tariff program, and then, if elected,
carry out exactly that tariff program,
and thereafter allow business to pro-
, ceed in confidence and security and
with a thorough  knowlege   of   established conditions.
There are some abuses in the tariff
" which need correction, but for my
partf-believe-in a proper tariff for
protection, and I believe -that the
growth of the unexampled'prosperity
of America has been largely f timnlat-
ed by the principle of protection in
spite of certain abuses in tho system.
By demolishing our own tariff
fence we may get out of our own
pasture, but we cannot get into the
'] -pasture of foreign nations until we
** have demolished their tariff fences.
If we sacrifice our protective poli-
' cy we sacrifice our one opportunity
to lower the tariff bars of foreign
countries. It is only by reciprocity
that the tariff bars of foreign countries can be lowered. >
If we maintain our protective fence
we can say to foreign countries: "We
will lower our bars to. your products
if you will lower your bars to our
products." But if we hav** no tariff
fences, we can make no such beneficial bargain.        ^_
Mr. Wilson must not be like tbe^
dog in Aesop's fables who let go the
bone that he actually had in order to
grasp at the reflection in tbe water.
If we sacrifice any advantage that
we actually have we most be sure
that we are going to get a corre;
spending advantage in return^and if
we ehould sacrifice injudiciously our
Let me but live from year to' year.
With forward face and unrelnctant
soul,
Not hastening   to,   nor turning

Not mourning for the  things   that

In the dim past, nor holding back

And haopy heart, that pays its toll.
To Youth' and Age,   and travels on

So let the way wind up the -hill or

Still seeking what I sought when
but a boy,
New friendship, high adventure  and

-FAREWELL SURPRISE

Tendered G. H. Phelps and Wife
Tuesday Evening.
Many of our readers are already
aware that "Tip" Oalkins will in the
near future resume active management of /he Oalkins House, which
for the past two years has been
leased to George H. Phelps, formerly of Greenville. That the business
men and the people.of Olare in general are sorry to have this worthy
couple go,lwas further evidenced^ by
the events o£ last Tuesday evening.
More than forty friends gathered at
Masonic Hall, and about 8:30 p. m.
marched to the hotel* in a body, taking the host and hostess by complete
surprise. The doughty landlord was
not to. be outdone, and promptly
cleared a space in the dining-room
where progressive/pedro and flinch
were enjoyed for some time. In behalf of the company J. F. Tatman
presbnted Mr. Phelps with an ele-
gantfgold-mounted umbrella, while
Mrs. Phelps received a beautiful
neck chain. - Coffee and cake made
their appearance, as if by magic,
paying been stealthily prepared by
the host and his wife.
The evening was one of keen
-joyment for all concerned,   and can
nothelp but cement more closely the
ties which bind us together as a social community.

BANKING DEPARTMENT
of
 . ^rr-
Garet Allen Bauder
Admits 'Mistake Was   Made In
Closing Bank. ,
About five months elapsed between-
tbe original closing- qf tbe state bank
in February last and the tentative
suggestion from tbe office of the
banking department that E. Bert
Jenney might be .reinstated jlb the
president of that institution. Director Aaron Ze*.n'er, secretary of
the board, stated that on July thirds
deputyeommissioner A. E. Manning
came to Dowagiac and advised him
tbat the state banking department
had. absolutely nothing against E.
Burt Jenney and that the .commissioner E. H. Doyle would consent to
his restoration as president of the
back. At a later date commissioner
Doyle advised director Aaron Zelner
in bis office at Lansing that he would
approve the election of Mr. Jenney
to the presidency of the bank or any
other office to which the board might
elect him. He further acknowleged
his mistake in closing the bank in
February/last.
The board of directors unanimously elected E. Burt Jenney to the presidency of the bank, so that the bank
has now the same officers in their
respective places as it had previous
to the closing of the institution last
February. ~
A Dowagiac Daily News representative was informed by state, banking
commissioner Doyle over the phone
Tuesday that the official date of Mr.
Jenney's restoration was early in
this month and that Jenney held ""his
office with the consent and approval
of the commissioner.
The people of Dowagiac and vicinity have more confidence in the
Dowagiac State Bank and E. Burt
Jenney than before the investigation
by the Commissioner took place.
ThexOoinmissioner has taken the
manly course in acknowledging his
mistake and the public generally, will
respect him the more for so doing.
Mr. Jenney is to be congratulated
for the hard battle he has fought and
the victory he has won. He has
en-fproved to the world he is right and
stands higher than ever among the
bankers of the state as his integrity
and financial solidity cannot now be
questioned. ** •
X
protective policy, we should find our
markets open to the products pf all
the nations of the world and their
markets still closed to the products
of our own nation. -»
Mr. Wilson also disapproves of
American businss men and considers*
them "ignorant" and "provincial.'"
American business men are the
greatest business men in the world
and have made America the greatest
business nation in the world. They
are accumulating in America the
wealth of the world, and they are
employing their wealth in a way
which excites the admiration of the
world.
Some, like Rockefeller, are endow-
Wb are informed that along the
path of the hail belt in the northern'
part of this county a curious phenomenon is to be seen. The fierce
storm ot wind and hail literally beat
the fields nf corn and beans into "the
ground^ One would biive supposed
there could be no possible chance for
these crops to grow again and
amount to anything; yet we are informed that where stock was kept
out,-both corn and beans grew again
and, if frost holds off, quite fair
crops may be realized. The loss of
nearly all crops was a serious blow
to these farmers and certainly all
will hope that Providence may deal
kindly with them in the end.
ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
Son ot ^Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bauder
of this city, was born at Queenaburg,
Canada, Sept. 17,1871, and died at
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 7,1912, lacking.a few days of being 41 years old.
In the spring of 1884 tbe family
moved to this city wbere be grew-up
and engaged in various kinds of
work. Later he went to Detroit and
engaged in the laundry business.
After a time he went to Cleveland
and^was employed as motorman on
the street railways, at which oocu-.
pation he continued until~his death.
The.end was sudden and/entirely unexpected.. During'the day on Friday
he seemed in the best of health but
in the evening_ complained of not
feeling well and soon became unconscious. Removed to a hospital, he
continued to sink and died at 3:20
the next'morning.   '
Tbe burial was held at Middles-
bury,. Ohio, but owing to a failure to
receive telegram, the parents and
some other relatives were unable to
attend. Beside the 'wife and two
sons, he leaves an aged father and
mother, five sisters and four brothers. -

For The
ness men, like Carnegie, are endowing libraries j and others again, like
Morgan, are assembling in America
the art and library treasures of the
world for the development of our
tastes and perceptions.
Our business men have been able
to do all this without Mr. Wilson's
guidance, and in (-spite of hiB poor
opinion of them. Nit is.just possible
that'under the guidance of college
professors these ' "ignorant" and
."provincial" business men of ours
might not have —accomplished as
much for themselves and their country as they did when left to their
own resources.
Mr. Wilson's dogmatic and didactic
declarations have all the poBitiveness

Archbishop Ireland was the principal speaker at the recent national
ronvnvion of the Total Abstinence
Union of America. No man fci the
United States speaks with mora representative force for his Catholic
brothers and sisters than does Archbishop Ireland. In his' address at
the recent Oatholic Union Convention he referred to the duty of every
American citizen to'support the government of our country and its constitution and further said: ' "The saloon is our, greatest .enemy. It
blights our national growth'. One of
tbe, greatest of'our country's ills is
our liquor tainted elections with the
great brewers vand saloons wielding
political influence. Many of the political evils of the day-are traceable to
tbe,saloon and any remedy to be effective must strike dkectly at the
root of these evils." The South Bend
Tribune, in its reports of Archbishop
Ireland's address, said tbat he was
frequently forced to stop on account
of tha hearty applause which greeted
his remarks. The great majority of
the home loving people bf America,
Catholics and Protestants, are glad
to accept the leadership of such a
man as Archbishop Ireland in' his
great fight against the saloons.

i'
Teachers And Pupils To Be Admitted Free Thursday Sept, 26th.
Theidea'of having a special ^School-
Day" at the Bi-Oo. Fair was inaugurated last year, and met with such
hearty approval from all concerned,
tbat it has been decided to continue
this feature of tha fair*; The officials'
wiBh to announce,. therefore tbat
Thursday, gept. 26th, 1912, will be
know" us "School Day," an'd that
no ai;miadIon,fee will be charged the
teachers .and pupils, provided they
appear together, and present themselves in a body at tlie gate,v so that
officers mvy know they are entitled
to enter free. -
In order to secure this privilege
teachers are to see that their schools
gather outside the gates at 10:30
standard time. As there will be
many schools present! please have
a suitable banner around which your
school can rally. The banner should,
show what school it is. When all are
ready, the schools will form in Hue
and march to.the grand stand, after
which all will be at liberty to enjoy
themselves as they please. At one
o'clock, any schools that have not
already entered, or those that have
dinner outside the grounds will
gather outside the gate to be admitted as before. ,
Be on time so as not .to miss the
free admission, as only teachers and
children are so admitted who appear
as a school.       < \
We are glad to announce that
School Commissioner Aldrich v of
Olare Co., and School Comm'r Cameron ,of Isabella Co., again approve
of tjhis plan, and it is hoped both of-
these officials can be present on tbat
day. They suggest that the several
school bqards giye this day as a
holiday. Much can be learned at the
Fair, which should be of advantage
especially to the country pupils.
Plan to attend without fail.

LOCAL MERCHANTS

* —————————
For years the people have been demanding a parcel Jpost, the demand
arising very largely, doubtless, from
the outrageous extortion of the ax-
press companies; but however much
tbey might petition and demand,
there were too strong influences at
work in congress to permit „any
such legislation. Senator Thomas O.
Piatt of New York, president of the
United States Express Co., would not
be expected to labor very hard for
the passage of such a bill, and he had
too many allies. And then, too, one-
of the strongest hindrances to toe enactment of any law of tbis kind has-
been the active'opposition* of many
of the retail dealers. The reason
assigned for this opposition has been
that it would.enable the big catalogue
bouses in the large cities to undersell them and practically *uin their
business. On tbe other hand, it is
claimed by those who have given
much attention to the matter, that
the great bulk of the shipment .from
these houses is by freight and that »
parcels post, so far from being an
injury to the country merchant,
wonld be a positive benefit. At any
rate it has been felt thatf we are fax-
behind several countries of the old
world in the facilities afforded the
people for the. transportation of
of merchandise and other . commodities at a moderate price.
It is pointed out that-the average
load of rural carriers is veryflmall as
compared with that which he***could
readily carry, and that the increase
in revenue due to the establishment
of the parcels post, would go quite a*
way toward defraying the expenses
this branch of the postal system. To
give the county merchants an advantage in rates over the catalogue
houses farther away, a "zone" system
was adopted! giving the "advantage
to short distances on all packages
weighing over four ounces. '——'
The plan divides tbe country into
eight zones running from 50 up. Regardless of distance the fiat rate is
one cent per ounce if the parcel
weighs not more than four ounces.
Above four ounces, rates are by tbe
pound, and vary with distance, thus:

Late Berries.
A rather remarkable thing can be
seen in the garden of Wm. Ross in
tbis city. He has some red raspberry plants that I ave made ah ex-

doubtless to the extra amount of
