THE NAPPANEE NEWS Nappanee, Elkhabt County, Ind. A Paper For c lkt People. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTIOH: One copy!, one year 7 $ 1 50 One copy, eta: month e . SUy 75 One copy, three months ...... ...., <0 By Gordon N. Murray, The Nappanee Daily News will appear Friday afternoon. The Bourbon Advance will suspend publication Jan. 17th, is its announcement. Today’, a number of county offlcerselect take their offices, recently named in these columns. At their biennial love feast in Indianapolis'Tbursday the Republicans of this State indorsed Vice-president for the nomination for their presidential standard bearer. The resofiitions were introduced by Gov. |lanly and thfeir adoption unanimous. Editor Murray, of the Nappanee NE\ys, announces that be will begin a daily edition the (irst week in January. Brother Murray is an experienced newspaper man, and he will probably be able to make a daily paper a success in Nappanee if anybody could. But starting a daily paper in a town of less than 3,000 population seems like quite an undertaking.— V|£alkerton Independent. The undertaking is not so great when one set's the time of beginning and the time of letting go, see? The Re?. Tilman Hobson, evangelist, has a remarkable ‘record in his chosen profession. He has gathered men from the slums, saloon, theater, _jnines, mountains, plains, stores and offices and piloted them into the ministry and evangelistic work. The sumßeTßrets on his ministry of love. Men and women, his co-wofkers, are preaching the love of Jesus arqjjtyl the world. The story of his “Faith Fund” reads like a chapter from the “Acts of the Apostles.” He has unlimited faith in God. The death of ex-Judge John M. Vanfleet will sadden all who knew the worth of his character and abilities, and the measure of bis influence in this city for two score years. Mr; Vanfleet was unassuming, but an earnest and Intense defender of right and justice in the abstract, as well as a lawyer and judge. He was in the earlier life of the city one of its most active and progressive citizens but it was in his high instincts and his£fforts for "the highest welfare of his home city that he stood as a marked and honored citizen. Many mournerswill surround his bier, and many a tribute of respect and honor will be spoken in the home and in the mart. —Elkhart Review. The newest thing that has been 1 r •Horganfee'd to counteract the sentiment against the liquor business, and the saloon trade in particular, is “The Model License League” with headquarters at Louisville, Ky. The newly formed league wants to take the saloon business out of politics. ‘ Now this seems to he one of the most whoisome signs for the ultimate finish of that branch of the liquor business. Since the politicians are no longer afraid of the saloons—having taken the saloon’s measure for influence like the business men have done all over the country—the saloon is perfectly willing to retire from politics. It looks as if-the politics of the country will help the saloon business to let go—not of politics, but of the people. —- • Seven Years of Proof. “I have had seven years of-proof that Dr. King’s New Discovery is the best medicine to take for coughs and colds and for every diseased condition of throat, chest or lungs,” says W.

It seems that County Auditor Sweitzer has repented of bis alleged statement that tbo publication of the public expenditures is ODly a “graft” for the newspapers. He has caused to be published in the Goshen newspapers a certified copy of such expenditures as recommended bit the grand jury. The News clips the following from an item in the Wakarusa Tribune: “A Nappanee merchant said in our presence that be would rather have a SI,OOO on his books against people of Wakarusa and viciDity, than half that amount against home folks.’.’ Our contemporary ought to have explained what the Nappanee chant meant. If he was booming Wakarusa he ought to move there and , do business. If be meant that those people who trade at Wakarusa are more honest.than those who trade in Nappanee, he ought not to receive any of their patronage. If he meant that people who trade in W.a&arusa are more able to pay their bills than those who trade in Nappanee, he should have given his reasons for so believing. It is the business of a merchant to boom his own town, and it is the duty of a newspaper to use the same discretion. Gordon N. Murray, of the N*ppanee- Neyvs, is taking upon himself the burden of a daily paper. Business rivalry has probably induced him to assume this colossal burden. That is the bane of the newspaper business, One weekly paper in a town like Nappanee is an abundance. When anybody goes beyond that it means not only doing hard work for nothing but it. ’involves the sacrifice of past earnings. If tihe business element of Nappanee understands its real inter- 1 ests, steps will at once be taken to effect ad adjustment that will maintain one good weekly paper such as the News has always beenjinder Mr. Murray’s excellent management.— South Rend Times. The News is going slow on tbedaily business. We have only pledged a daily to the people for three weeks for a certain purpose. Beyond this r_ • there is no intention of going with the daily edition, unless a sufficient amount of business should be pledged to .support it at some future time. No business rivalry has induced us to rumthe daily, or in fact to make ajiy change in contemplate# business plans. There is nobody in the newspaper Held in this part of the State who is in better .position to give advice than Mr. Stoll of the Times. The News appreciates that fact, all right. One might be partly justified in a wholesale condemnation of watermelons, without tasting or seeing them, because they were selling in the market places at 5 and 10 cents. But where one applies his watermellon principle to novels that sell for 5 and 10 cents he simply exposes his gross ignorance of hooks in general and the puftirshibg'tTusinussin particular. We have heard both preacher and layman base their judgement of novels (fletioo) on the prices at which books sell r and we have wondered.what would become oT'the real critics of literature (books) if this was to be the. standard for their criticism. The public would then have recommended to them such hooks as 1 ‘The Story of Mary Mac Lane” by herself, and her other two of the same kind, and others.equallv “rotten” at $1.25 per, and have condemned to them the novels of Dickens, Barrie, Kipling, David Christie Murray, Sewell, and many of the more recent writers of Action, because their novels can be had for 5 and 10 cents in most any bookstore. No, it won’t do for a writer to apply hip “watermellon information” to novels. To become a critic of novels he must read sufficient o' any one author to discover something to criticise, otherwise the public discovers his ignorance of such” things and reaches the only logical conclusion that he is the parrot of others who are even more igndraot of novels than himself. Special Announcement Regarding the National Fpodand Drug taw. We are pleased to announce that Foley’s Honey, and Tar for doughs, colds and lung troubles is not affected by the National Pure Food and Drug law as it contains no opiates or other harmful drugs, and we recommend it as,a safe remedy for children and adults. ~J. S. Waiters.

IS THERE SUCH A FEELING? The feeling is groYving that education abpve thegrammargradesshould not be provided at public expense. All statistics of later days show that the great majority of pupils drop out of school at the end of the grammar grade. The educational system is fast stopping at that point so far as it applies to the majority. The question naturally arises why the public should be compelled to pay for education of the compafSTively few at a vastly increasing raje of expense. —Elkhart Review. It may be true that such a feeling is growing. But for that very reason it ought to be combated. It would seem to be wrong in theory, and wrong in practice if applied. That those few who receive the benefits of an education above the grammar grades may possibly, and often do. come from among those whose parents are unable financially to give their children better, ought to explode that theory at first thought. Among the greatest mep in peace and war—men for the day—that this country hs afforded are those who came up from theso-called common people; or better, people who could not in their humble walks of life afford anything better than the common public schools oftheir time. To reduce this opportunity one iota would be to destroy that ambition, without which, our citizenship would be much less than it now is. The expense of maintaining a public high school is in itself comparatively small. - . ■—, This expense is met largely bxlocal committees and becomes a matter of local pri'dein a particular citizenship. There ar&. perhaps only 5 percent of high school graduates who enter the colleges. This percent would be greatly reduced if the facilities of the public schools ended with the grammar grade. Because the largest percent of the pupils In the public schools only pass the grammar grade is no argument that the high school graduate is not needed; on the contrary, he or she is all the more necessary Itrour citizenship for the same reason. This is being recognized by educators in Indiana at least, for no person can obtain a license to teach in the public schools 6f the State unless agraduate of some commissioned high school —the exception being a college course, and that number is small who are +'_ - - not high school graduates: PROBATE COURT MATTERS.
