f From the editorial sanctum of the Denver Post comes this gospel truth: The curse of a free country has been known ever since men tried to have free counrries. It is the human tendency to view everything from the standpoint of popularity instead of merit. j It comes from Logansport that a new trial has been demanded for a man just convicted of a crime on the ground that while the taking of testimony was in progress a circus came to town and its parade on the streets and its performance under the tents so distracted the jury that they gave little heed to testimony and were so eager to get to the show that the case was hastily and improperly considered greatly to the prejudice of the defendant. Another farm-bred boy, one from Wisconsin, has proved Chicago a city of great opportunities, Harrison B. Riley, who now is the president of a corporation which holds a

' practical monopoly on the title records ;of Chicago real estate. It is an’other case of .from $3.50 a week office boy to $25,006 a year executive” and the maxim of his success he says is "Keep still and plug along.” It took 25 years to do it; Mr. Riley came from a Wisconsin farm in 1882. a healthy wpecimen of youth with the typical officeboys' irrepressible love of pranks and paperwads but with his ' eye on business fill the time and not on the clock. Since then he took a night 1 course in law and is considered such an expert in real estate law that he passes on the guarantees his company gives to ti les. He has been vice-presi-dent for some time but “kept still and plugged along” and was given the presidency left vacant by the death of E. G. Keith. This goes to show what i the farmer boy can do, if he will

thoroughly apply himself. George F. Edmunds, of Vermont, once a Republican leader in the United States senate, professes the belief that President Roosevelt cannot be persuaded or bullied in:o accepting a third tenn nomination, and ( says that if he should be so foolish, he would be defeated. Mr. Edmunds sees danger in the third-term proposition. He says: “By and by the man who might go up for a third term might take a majority of the voters of the country with him. and it would then require a revolution to get rid of him or else, like some of cur southern republics, we would have to take him as president for life, just as Diaz is in Mexico the supreme ruler. Diaz is the absolute master of the situation in Mexico, and has been for years and years. Now my belief is that President Roose- ’ velt cannot be forced into setting a precedent of going beyond two terms. When General Grant, as deservedly popular and as belived as he was. was put forward by his misguided friends for a third term, he had so many real

friends that they would not let him consent to be renominated for the very reason that I have here suggested. If Grant had been nominated I have not the slightest doubt he would have been badly defeated because the sensible and thinking patriotic people of this country do no*, wish, under any circumstances which can be reasonably expected to happen, to have a continuous run of more than two presidential terms." Mr. Edmunds may be right in thinking that Mr. Roosevelt will not take — if he can get it —a third-term nomination. Very few persons will bet on it, however. But if he should be nominated Mr. Edmunds is right in believing that he could not be elected. Two terms were enough for other presidents and two are surely enough for the Hon. T. Roosevelt.

Frank O'Brien, of Clover Leaf. Has a Name Sake. When it comes to being Johhny on the spot, Frank O'Brien, the passenger agent for the Clover Leaf, is the candy boy. Frank's latest bid for fame came Tuesday morning when he was a passenger aboard No. 3, due here at 11:05, and when he officiated at the christening of a Russian Jew baby. The baby is now proudly wearing the name of Frank O'Brien Clover Leaf Czarovietchsky and in addiI tion to this proud name, has the JisItinction of being born aboard a passenger train while the same was tearing through the country at full spead. Frank's connection with the case was in this wise: He was sitting in ■he smoker with the conductor while the carload of emigrants were on the rear of the train. Suddenly into the midst of the crowd in the smoker 1 rushed a brakeman with flushed face [ and eyes popping from his head. He, quickly made the conductor acquaint'ed with the fact that there was a passenger on board who had not purchased a ticket in the regular way and the conductor, being a man of family, made haste to inquire after the safety of the little hobo. The mother had been cared for by other women in the party and after the infant had been dressed in some im- : provised clothing and all were found to be getting along well, the christening was decided upon. The name of jthe passenger agent was first suggested and with the name of the road makes a handle for the infant not more terrible than its Christian name. —Bluffton Banner.

“MOTHER” TRISH IS DEAD. A Leader of the W. C. T. U. in State and Well Known. Mrs. Julia Trish. more generally known among our people as "Mother” Trish —and it was her wish that she should be so known —passed to the other world shortly after 10 o’clock on Thursday night as peacefully as a child just going to sleep. Hardly a soul in Warsaw- among the middle and older generation, but knows "Mother" Trish. and they are mourning the loss of a most estimable woman who has done ines imahle good for mankind, and was beloved by her many acquaintances here and elsewhere Mrs. Trish was one of the active members of the W. C. T. U. since 1873 and was known as one of the “original crusaders.” She was state delegate to the National W. C. . U. conventions held at Portland, Me., and Denver, Colo. She was also state superintendent of the foreign work of the W. C. T. U. for a number of years, and since her work in the temperance cause covering a period of more than thirty-four years she had made hundreds of lectures in towns and cities in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, and her voice was always lifted vigorously igainst the rum traffic. She was the •resident of the society known as the Girls of Sever, •y,” and also president f the corporation having for its ob•e. the building of a home for old lies.—Warsaw Indianian.

SOME DOPE FOR THE FANS. Players Coming Monday—Season Will Soon be on. Manager Behringer received a telephone message from Bluffton last evening from a ball player by the name of Saint Clare, a first baseman, but he was'informed to wend his weary wa >’ elsewhere as he could not be used. Manager Behringer says no dead ones for him. Some discussion among the fans has been had the past few days concerning Underbeck, some saying he would not be here, and others saying he would. All doubt concerning this great outfielder was dispelled this morning when a letter was received from “Lindy” asking when to report. The directors held a session last evening to arrange a few matters preparatory to opening the season. The players signed by Manager Behringer have all been ordered to report next Monday and transportation was sent them today. Manager Behringer, of Decatur, says he will give Decatur a team that will make them 11 take notice. Some fast men are being signed.—Ft. Wayne News.

Marshal f Green has received her picture and a I request to be on the lookout for her. Her abductors are supposed to be Ellen and Bob Calloway, traveling show people or street fakirs.

MANY PENSIONS EACH DAY. The Bureau Grinds Them out at Rate i of 1,500 Each Day. A dispatch from Washington says that more than 93.000 pensions have been passed upon by the pension bureau under the McCumber service pension act. So far there have been 330,000 applications filed and the bureau is grinding them out at the rate of 1.500 a day. It is estimated that the clerical work Involved in disposing of the applications already filed will require at least six months. Pension bureau officials believe 50.000 more applications will be filed within the coming year. The pensions date from the day the application is received, so the soldiers who gets his pension application in last will not suffer from clerical delays. His money will be permitted i to accumulate and the pay back to the 1 filing date will be included in his first remittance from the government. Jesse Wilson, of Rensselaer. Ind., assistant secretary of the interior. In charge of the pension bureau, says: “Ninety-nine per cent of the soldiers who have applied for pensions under the McCumber act were already on the pension rolls. In other words, out of the grand total only 3,300 soldiers were not drawing pensions under some old pension law before the McCumber bill was passed. This showing was a great surprise to us, as our best informed experts believed that at least 40,000 old soldiers not on the rolls would apply and all our estimates to congress in connection with the expense of the administration of the act were based on this estimate.” In Old Home of a Hermit—sll7 000 in Gold and Erie Stock. Cleveland, Ohio, May 17.—Erie railroad bonds and gold certificates amounting to $117,000 were found today in a box taken from a walled in fireplace in an old house which was being torn down. For half a century the building was occupied by George Moran, a hermit, who died recently at the age of ninety-one. The bonds were placed in the hands of federal judge Taylor to be held for five years. If no heirs appear io that time, the fortune goes to B. W. Hollingsworth, the contractor, who found it. oNOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
