This talk that promotors of the proposed Lafayette-Chicago electric line will now switch off through Wolcott because Remington refused to vote a subsidy, is the veriest kind of rot. If the road is ever built 'it will pass through Remington and Fountain Park and Rensselaer. No other route is practicable but this one, and it is silly to talk about revenge of this kind.

The Democrat acknowledges receipt of a copy of “The Legend of Grape Island and Other Poems” by VVill W. Pfrimmer, the “Kankakee Poet,” whose home is in Kentland. This is Mr. Pfrimmer’s latest book of poems and is deserving of a place in the best libraries. The Legend of Grape Island is particularly interesting anjshould be of especial interest to people of this section as the scene of the story is an island in the Kankakee river, in this county, where many of our readers have fished and bunted.

We wish to apologize for the beastly print on the The Democrat the past two issues. Some time ago we were persuaded by a smooth talking salesman, against our better judgment, to buy some of the ink sold by his house; it was so much better than what we were using an 4 the price was only a trifle higher than what we had been paying another house. Last week we opened a can of this “better” and Hbigher prioed ink, and it is tbV worst mess we ever had in the shop. The second can will never be opened by us and the whole mess will be shipped back next week, a keg of the former kind used having been ordered and will be on hand ready for use for our next issue. It is generally a good rule to not forsake old and tried friends, and we guess this applies to printing inks, judging from our-present experience.

HE WAS AT FIRST CRITICISED

Clergyman Who Played Cards and Smoked with Young Men—Criticisms Later Withdrawn. Columbus, Ind., Nov. 13. Many people in Columbus are shocked at the news of the sudden death of Rev. Chas. Trask Lewis, at his "home in Foultuey, Vt. Four years ago he was rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church here, and it is said on many sides that his work among the young men of Columbus brought him closer to them than any other local minister ever got. Shortly after coming here Lewis organized what was known as the Young Men's club. The minister decided that he would cheat the poolrooms and saloons of some of their young clients, so after he was elected president of the club he permitted the members to play cards and smoke as much as they liked. Many of the church members had considerable criticism to offer when they heard that Lewis was sitting in card games and smoking cigars with as good grace as any one. When they found how close he was getting to the young men of the jrity they withdrew their criticisms. \ t

Guthrie on the chargt of incompetency, this growing out of the alleged mismanagemeut of the Art department, has largely cooled dow* and there is no reason to suppose that the impeachment proceedings against the mayor will be carried farther. It Is certain that nothing new will b« done until the regular meeting of the council the first Monday night in December, and by that time, It Is the trouble will all have blown over. “Casey at the Bat” Again.

The appointment of John E. Casey to be chief of the fire department, even at the last minute, saved the day sos Guthrie and his administration. The public, manufacturers, merchants and citizens of all political and religious faiths demanded the return of Casey to the head of the fire department. Mayor Guthrie reappointed Casey on th« advice of friends who .told him that In their opinion nothiny could save his impeachment by the'eity council and nothing could prevent his being burled beneath an avalanche of indignation, but the appointment of the man h« had once deposed. Mayor Guthrie finally said he would leave the whole matter to a meeting of the city’s business men.

Hysteria Was Mach Deplored. Representative manufacturers and merchants attended the meeting. Those assembled there first deplored the hot headedness that caused the circulation of petitions against the mayor and the blowing of factory whistles and pleaded with the public to act in a dignified manner and for the council to do nothing rashly. * But while the business men’s meeting was being held in the Commercial club, Mayor Guthrie called a meeting of the council In his own of; flee and offered a complete surrender on the'flre department matter.

Mayor . Down on Saloons. It Is said on good authority that Mayor Guthrie's reasons for not appointing Casey sooner were not altogether political, but grew out of the fact that Casey has l>een a saloonkeeper, and every effort of Mayor Guthrie since assuming office has lieen directed against the liquor traffic. Soon after being relieved as head of the fire department; Casey, with Charles E. Gontner, bought a saloon.
