OED GRIIMES By Albert Gorton Greene

ALBERT GORTON GREENE, author and jurist, was born in Providence, R. 1, Feb. 10, 1802, and died in Cleveland, 0., Jan. 3, 1868. He was a lawyer by profession, but a scholar by natural choice, and took a deep interest in the intellectual developmént of his native state. The private’ library of Judge Greene, now in Brown university, contained 20,000 volumes. ““Old Grimes” is the best known of his poems. %

LD Grimes is dead, that good old man. ! ‘We ne’er shall see him more. @ He used to wear a long black " coat, ; ) All buttoned down before. His heart was open as the day, His feelings all were true, His hair was some inclined to gray; He wore it in a cue. . Whene’er he heard the voice of pain His breast with pity burned. The large round head upon his cane ~ From ivory was turned. - Kind words he ever had for all; He knew no base design. His eyes were dark and rather small; His nose was juiline. He lived at peace with all mankind; - In friendship he was true. His coat had pocket holes behind; His pantaloons were blue. . Unharmed, the sin which earth pollutes . He passed securely o'er— And never wore a pair of boots For thirty years or more. -

Mr. Weir was one of the strong men of our time, a man of sterling character and with splendid qualities of heart and mind. He was an ex cellent type of our American citizenship. sturdy, honest and patriotic. He always took an active part in the affairs of our community and was rea.dy to espouse the cause that he thought for the best interests of all concerned. A m¥ of strong prejudices and well grounded opinions, he, however, recognized the rights and opinions of those who differed with him In politics he was always a \Bepublicau first, but many times an independent when he measured man with man and policy with poliey. It was as a business maun that the people of Ligonier and vicinity knew him best. For over forty years he bad come tu coutact with our people aud everybody kuew him and trast-d him. His word was as good as his boud aud his iutegrit) was not 1u question He has doue wmuch for Ligonier; with his partuer. Bu-l W Cowley, he builded up avd organized a vast business, oue of the best and most enterprising iu this part of the state. He bas done much for the material wellfare of the city in the way of substantial improvements aud was always found as the advoeate of public enterprises Mr. Weir was one of the meu who helped to make {Jlguuicr what it is. We will all miss Johu Weir. ) v :*XW ® % ® e ‘We have not seen a better statement of the philosophy of a protective tariff as we have it than that made by the New York Journal of Commerce, thas: = Nothing could be more demoralizing than to be shielded agaiost skill. enterprise, ingenuity, superior me«thods and improved facilities, in short. to be protected agaiust competition, which is the spur to progress. If a bigh grade and qualrty of products cost more to make, they will also bring more in the market, aud the normal way of increasing profit upon them is to improve the methods of production and cheapen the cost. That does not mean lessening the compensatioun of either labor or capital, but increasing the efficiency of both. That is the great benefit of competition. It is the Spar to superior production in both quantity and quality which can not fail to be a beneii: to both capital and labor, for their return comes out of the values produced and not the figures of wages and price. The complex protective nystem has put the various industrial aud trade interests upon such an artificial basis that correct calculation and straight reasoning are made difficult. It appeals to self-interesc and selfish motives in a way to pervert moral sense and to distort mental action, and the sooner and more rapidly we ean be relieved of the demoralizing effect the better will it be for the health aud sauity of the nation. ‘

®xx ¥ ¥ ¥ Mr. Foulke saw something in The Indianapolis News about Mr. Roose velt which Mr. Foulke was convineced Mr. Roosevelt would not like. So instead of keeping it from the knowledge of Mr. Rooseveit, Mr. Foulke sent to him *‘a marked copy’ with a letter which suggested that Mr. Roosevelt should say something. The hint was hardly necessary. Mr. Roosevelt did say something. Indeed, he said several columns—and addressed the matter to Mr. Foulke with leave to print. That, too, was unnecessary. Mr. Foulke always prints what the President writes to him on public subjects. The publicity of the subject is less important, or less satisfactory, than the faet that Mr. Foulke is the bosom mediary and favored flush channel of the President’s views. * * =* 4 Everyone knows that had the corrections Mr. Roosevelt makes been sent to the editors or to the correspoudents of ‘the two papers they would have been published at once, but that wonld have made Foulke dispensible and if Foulke is not indispensible, Foulke is nothing, and Mr. Roosevelt’s lambasting of the journalism he dislikes, and his praise or patronization of the kind he likes and is under contract to persornify, woulh have been lost. The President’s last annual message will displace the ‘President’s diatribe, and Foulke will have to find another placard at his leisure to wear on his frontin the interest of his ambjtion to advertise ** Me and the President.” —Brooklyn Daily Eagle. -2 s axw The New Y@)rk World moralizes over the placing of 15.000 fourth-class postmasters in the classified list by pointing out a higher spoils system an illastration of which 1t says is the appointment to be made of Congressman Barton to Mr. Taft’s Cabinet so as to make way for Mr. Taft’s brother for the Senate. But others do not have to wait, says the World and continues thus: B ‘ . Mr. Roosevelt announced yesterday that John D. Prindle, editor of the Labor world, would be appointed appraiser of customs at Pittsburg. The Labor World was one of the first labor papers to repudiate Gompers and declare for Taft. Samuel B. Donnely, of New York, another labor leader who snp‘ponod Taft, has been made Public Printer, and Daniel J. Keefe, of Detroit. one of the vice presidents of the American Federation of Labor. who advocated Taft's election in spite of Guinpers, has been appointed Commissioner Geweral of Immigration. All these labor appointments were promised during the camp igun, itis said, and the World knows of no reason for doubting the common report. When the American Federation of Lsbor officially indorsed Mr Brvan, Mr Rooscvelt prostituted the patron age of the presideney to divide the organization Not one of thege labor leaders would have beeu appointed to office had Samuael Gompers not opssed Mr. Talt’s election. There is a fitgher spoils system of which Mr saa.e'elt is the master, which he maintains intact and which he manipu lates far more effectivelv than any of his predecessors manipulated the fourth class postmasters. Appareutly ilt is another of My Policies which Mr. Taft will inberit. ' ; : S % 2 * % 3 ; i - The Kansas City Star says that the most audacious contention yet made before the ways and means committee is that of steel and iron men who demand that the present duties on their produet be retained in the face of Mr- Carnegie’s statement that the industry no longer needs protection and of Mr, Schwab’s showing that 1t costs us but $l2 a ton to make rails where it costs the English $l9. The contention is made not by the steel trast, but by the Independent, which the Star charaterizes as allies and trust agents. The Star goes on to say: - ¥ ~ Even these witnesses were compelled to admit that American steel and ron produets are sold for less abroad than in the United States; yet they demand the retention of a duty of nmm on steel rﬂh-od propurtioaate duties on other articles. % ch simply means that iu spite ':é*‘é‘-?-‘ Eémgwi??%f% s o tm" &‘dm ?}1 at Baias ocn ic "*‘.-ihf@"’? snlisated to ontddnotns Sttortior ’Q !

But good old Grimes is now at rest, Nor fears misfortune's frown. He wore a double breasted vest— The stripes ran up and down. He modest merit sought to find b And pay it its dessert. & He had no malice in his mind, : No rufiles on his shirt. His neighbors he did not abuse—- ¥ Was sociable and gay. He wore large buckles on his shoes And changed them every day. % His knowledge, hid from public gaze, He did not bring to view p Nor malke a noise town meeting days, As many peopie do. : _ His worldly goods he never threw In trust to fortune's chances, But lived (as all his brothers do) In easy circumstances. ,Thus undisturbed by anxious cares His peaceful. moments ran, And everybody said he was A fine old gentleman. . 5

£ John Weir Dead : Death came to John Weir, the well known hardware man, at Chicago last Fridey night after a longand unequal struggle with what was pronounced a fatal malady six months ago, . Early in the year, Mr. Weir who had been failing in health for some time, went to Chicago where he consulted a noted specialist who told him that he was doomed that he had a disease that science had been unable to cope with and that time would be measured by a short space. The disease is known as pernicious enemia or the disappearance of the red corpuscles of the blood.

Mr, Weir received the word like a stoic, returned home to put his affairs in shape for the end that seemed so near. He seemed to improve in condition for several months and his friends had hopes that the doctor was mistaken and that his years of usefulness would be lengthened but these hopes were groundless. The disease was still eativg at his vitality and during the last two months the end has been drawing near with apparent strides. He clung to life however with that strong purpose that has always marked his being and it was with hope that he might get relief that he made his last trip to Chicago to consult with an eminent doctor. He made a splendid fight against frightful odds and lost.

John Weir was born in Lagrange in 1840. Here he spent his boyhood and gained a good practical education. His first business venture was at Lagrange where he went,into the drug business in 1861, continuing until 1864 when he came to Ligonier to start a hardware store. The new firm was Weir, Welch & Co. J. W, Welch, still a resident of Ligonier being one of the partners. Three years later Mr. Welch retired from the firm and until 1873 Mr. Weir was associated with his father in the business. At this time he assumed the responsibilities and until 1881 when B. W. Cowlejy purchased an interest was in full control. In the last twenty-eight years the firm of of Weir & Cowley bas gained a wide reputation for enterprise and stability. They have maintained one of the best and largeststores of its kind in this part of the state. They also successfully managed a large and growing lumber and coal business .John Weir was married in 1865 to Miss Aleinda J. Weleh. Two children - were boru to this anion, Fred E. Weir of this city and Henry W. Weir who was killed near Cleveland several years ago while in the performance of his duty &s a trainman on the Lake Shore. Mr Weir was a public spirited citizen. He took a marked interest in public affairs and was many times identified with the management of the local government. When the corporate government was changed Mr. Weir was chosen as the first mayor of the new city after a spirited but friendly contest with Hon. E. B. Gerber, the democratic candidate. He had much to do with the enactment of the leadlng ordinances that yet govern our city. He was several times a member of the school board and held other official positions with honor to himself and to the city. He was an honest public servant, a painstaking publie official and a’ conscientious citizen. The funeral was held at the M. E. church Tuesday and was largely attended.

Champ Clark Ch?mp Clark, unanimously chosen as minority leader of the house at the caucus of the Democratic Congressman, is one of the best known members of that body. : He was born in Anderson county. Kentucky March 7, 1850. He was graduated from Bethany College and subsequently from the Cincinati law School. Following his graduation he was president of Marshall College, West Virginia. Removing to Missouri, he was elected representative in congress from the Ninth districtin 1892, and bas held office continuously since, with the exception of one term. As a campaign speaker he has attained considerable eminence, and is aggressive, alert and shrewd. The minority will be under a leadership that will make it a recognized furce in the house. The selection of the caucus is one that is pleasing to the Democrats in general. Outside of party lines. it will be generally conceded that the best interests of the public are better safe, guarded by an active minority actog from patriotic motives and not.as mere obstructionists, than by one which is merely a nonentity through lack of intelligent activity, —Zanesville Signal. ,

Farmers’ Institutes There will be five farmers’ institutes in Noble county this season as follows: LaOtto, Tuesday, Jan. 19; Wolf Lake, Wednesday, Jan. 20; Cromwell, Thursday, Jan. 21; Cosperville, Friday, Jan. 22; Albion, Saturday, Jan. 23. J. B. Burris of ‘Cloverdale, Putnam County, will address all of these meetings and Miss Ethel E. Berry of Jewell City, Kansas, will addresg the institutes at Cremwell, Cosperville and Albion

. The assigned speakers are considered the best sent out by the director of farmers’ institutes. - Mr. Burris has been assigned furty-five different institutes and Miss Berry will address fifty-two institutes during the season. This speaks for their popularity. The idea of holding all of institutes during one week was suggested by the county chairmanin order to economize time and traveling expenses. At each of these institutes. liberal special premiums will be offered for exhibits. An effort will be made to interest the young people by having special exhibits for them. v Local ‘speakers will be assigned interesting subjects and several speakers of state-wide reputation will assist in making these meetings a success. The chairman is planning to hold preliminary nieetings at each of the points where institutes are to be held within the next'two weeks at which time complete arrangements will be made.

~ We respectfully solicit the co-op-eration of farmers, merchants and professional men and women in this grand work. ' : Yours Respectfully J. C. KIMMELL, Chairman. : How Soon We Are Forgotten! Thirty years ago Thomas J. Merrifield was among the foremost lawyers of NortL.ern Indiana. He was also quaite prominent. as a Democratic politician and at one time stood a fair chance of being made a member of the supreme court. He was the first mayor of Valparaiso. _His death occured at the home of his son, John Merrifield, in Detroit, Mich.. Nov. 21. Mr. Merrifield was 75 years old and was born in Yates county, New York; in 1833 He came tec Indiana in 1853, settled at- Mishawaka, Fort Wayne, and then moved to Goshen, where he was admitted to the bar in May, 1855, and two months later located in Valparaiso He represented Porter county in the state legislature in 1858. In Oetober 1866, he was elected mayor of Valparaiso, and served two consecutive terms. Mr. Merrifield left Valparaiso some 25 years ago, and was for a time a resident of Chicago, moving to Detroit several years ‘ago. He was a man of genial qualities and generous impulses. His literary attainments were of a high order. He was broad-guaged in his views, progressive in spirit, and throughly patriotic in purpose. Very few of the present generation know anything of this once conspicnous figure in the affairg of Indiana.

Judge Wrigley Issues Restraining : Injunction

At Columbia City last Thursday, Judge Wrigley granted an injunction restraining the board of county commisioners from taking action on the petition for a county local option election. The grounds upon which the injunction was sought were the unconstitutionality of the receuntly enacted county option law and the fact that no appropriation had yet been made by the city council to meet the expenses of the election asked for. The merits of these questions were not discussed. Attorney R. H. Minton of Indianapolis for the petitioners, cousenting without protest to all presentation of the merits of the case being postponed until February 4, 1909, when the new legislature will have had time to repeal the county local option law or to make whatever changes it may see fit. The petition filed by the anti-saloonists comprised 1,229 names of presumably legal voters of the county, being an excess of 251 over the required number to compel the calling of an election at the hands of county board of commissioners. The granting of the injuction until February 4 made it unlawfal for the commissioners to order the election within that time.

- Hot Blast Fire Box | se W R RGOk [ EATS A RA : '~' 5‘5 7LI é - Is the greatest improvement ever made in range construction. First---Because it saves fuel by burning gases that escape unburned from the ordinary fire box, and, _ Second---Because it; saves repair bills through its great durability. When heat is applied to soft coal, from 25 to 333 per. cent of the coal, (by weight) is driven off in the form of gases. From the ordinary fire-box these gases escape unburned. In the Acorn Hot Blast fire-box a current of intensely heated air is constantly supplied to burn the gases and their combustion can be plainly seen when the range is in operation. No further argument is needed to prove the value of this fire-box for fuel economy. - ~ Every one has trouble with fire-box linings burning out from one cause or another. The Acorn Hot Blast Fire-box is the -only perfectly ventilated box. A current of air passing from the ashpit back of the linings constantly carries off the surplus heat, [this heat is utalized for the hot blast which burns the gases.| This constant circulation of air back of thé linings makes them almost indestructable.
