Plymouth, Ind., October 31 1901. Sol Ilathaway, of the Indianapolis Independent, thinks the real question about- the famous dinner at the White House is whether chicken or 'possum was served.

The agricultural crops of America this year are as a whole smaller than for years. That's providence. The value of those crops is the highest for years, in spite of increased foreign competition. That's republicanism. A few, a very few, moth-eaten back numbers of the democratic press are still keeping up the old cry of six years ago that there is no prosperity. There is not, in most cases, Tvith them,

but there are some men whom rivers

of gold would not make prosperous.

Gratifying as was the performance

of the compauy at the theaterMonday

night it was not more so than was the civil behavior of the gallery gods.

Respectable people who desire to take

advantage of the better bookings dur

ing the season have feared since the obnoxious demonstration at "Human

Hearts" that the hoodlum outrages would make it impossible, but there is reason to hope that the city authorities will co-operate with the management of the opera house to preserve

order and maintain

A humorous item headed "Union Suits" and credited totheGreencastle Democrat is enjoying quite a vogue in Indiana papers just now. The fact that it appeared in the Chicago Tribune nore than a week before it was printed in Greencastle casts a shade of doubt upon its originality with the Democrat. There are seeral editors in Indiana, one even in Plymouth, that habitually violate the moral law bv stealing good matter from other papers and printing it as their own. Plagiarism is the resort of the intellectual bankrupt. True and to be twice read are these words of John B. Stoll in the South Bend Times: "It is not often that a writer boasts of the wounds he struck by the vigorous use of his pointed pen. He regrets, rather, that there should have been occasion, or necessity, for using his pen for such purposes. Cause for satisfaction, for gratification, is found in realizing that the pen has been successfully employed to brace up, to build up, to cheer, to gladden, to brighten, to enoble, to stimulate, and to exalt human character. "

The Plymouth Tribune charges most of the bad luck of that town to the bicycle trust. Goshen Democrat. AVe fail to recall having made any such charge, neither do we admit that Plymouth has had any extraordinary bad luck. On the contrary, this year has been one of the most prosperous we have ever had and Plymouth is one of the best towns of its size in the state. That we are anxious for the

city to continue its progression does

not argue that it has beengoingback

ward. The exchange editor of the Democrat is apparently a hasty

reader.

Almost everybody understands per

fectlv that when President Itoosevelt

invited President Booker T. Wash

ington to partake of the hospitality of the White House he was paying a tri

bute to brains, not to color, and that he had no intention of signifying by

the act that he was favorable to in

discriminate social familiarity with

negroes any more than with whites. President Roosevelt would not think,

for example, of inviting to his table the self -styled "first citizens" of Louis

iana who went "nigger-baiting" last Sunday and mastered an unknown number, but he has white guests at his house almost daily.

ness, and the time, effort and expense incurred in mastering any other occupation will make a first class and successful farmer of almost any man.

The anarchist assassin ot President McKinley has paid the penalty of his horrid crime Solemnly and according to the established forms of law he was indicted, tried, convicted and executed, his miserable life protected meanwhile by the laws he held in contempt.- There is no sort of palliation for his crime, except in the minds of criminals like himself, whose lives are not in unison with those about chem and who breath discontent and plan murder while the world exults In the plenitude of material and political blessings. It would be charity to regard him as insane, but the evidence overwhelmingly rebuts that presumption. He is accursed by men. Let oblivion be his lot. Let him be no more remembered forever ueyond the absolute requirements of history and science. He was a loathsome, damcable thing and it were best that all memory of him should die.

The Possibilities of Soil Productivity.

The subject of intensive agricult

ure, the securing of largest returns within reason from a given area, never received mere attention than now from the practical farmer, the scientist and

the student of world-wide economics.

The exiled Russian Prince Kropotkin,

"citizen of the world, " long a close

student, with advanced socialistic

ideas, has delivered some thought-arresting statements along this line, in his recent lectures in this country.

He places special stress upon the

possibility of wringing from the soil,

and that without necessarily im

povenshing it, very much greater crops than now known. If the soil of

the United Kingdom were given a de

gree of cultivation common to what may be found on some of the best farms in England and in France, he says the number of home-fed people in the United Kingdom could be 80,000,000 instead of 17,000,000 as now He adds the significant word that Europe will not continue to indefinitely buy food from us which, with proper enterprise, they can well produce from their own soil, and that we must accordingly look for a better home market for farm produce. Whether a half veiled threat or a prophecy, the truth is, American agriculture will continue to hold the supremacy it has attained. Nowhere is the subject of soil physics better understood than in the United States, and nowhere is applied science doing more for the great army of farmers who are making steady advance in securing an increased average production per acre of the great staples. If England's wheat area yields a crop of 35 bushels per acre, or nearly threefold our own, it is not because we lack the opportunity to greatly develop home production along intensive lines. This will come with the incentive of agricultural education, not to speak of the impetus of our yearly expanding world's markets. Our' American agriculturist crop competitions have shown the practical possibility of growing 1000 bushels per acre of potatoes, 235 of corn, 135 of oats, 90 of wheat, or several times the usual yield. And that it pays to produce double the usual yield has been established by thousands of successful farmers. Orange Judd Farmer.

not show much sign of remorse. " It is

also alleged that Grant Webb went to

the house and, after dressing in the

clothing of his dead brother, took the

The remains of Charles Webb were

taken to his late home today and at 3 o'clock this afternoon funeral ser

vices were conducted there by the

First M. E. Church. The music was

urnished by the Commercial. College

Glee club and the pallbearers were also

rom that school, the deceased being

student of the institution. The

burial was in the city cemetery.

When Webb was questioned yester

day afternoon he made known several disclosures which were startling, he stating that Louis Jaquith and a man

now serving sentence in Michigan had cracked many safes in this city.

It was learned today that the coal

stove owned by the Webbs had given

the family trouble before. While re-

ling on Sycamore street Miss Webb

slept one night with Pauline Meyer

and both were overcome with coal gas

from the stove now used.

The condition of Mrs. Webb at 3:15

to recovery, she having rested quietly during the day. South Bend Tribune

Pain Over One Eye.

Severe neuralgic pain in the temples or over the eyes is due to eye trouble. In the majority of cases the pain is confined to one eye only. A hard, throbbing headache over the eye brow and extending toward the temple is always caused by strain upon the eyes. Only a slight defect in the. muscular adjustment disturbs the harmony and throws an unaqual strain upon them. If you are subject to this kind of headache we can cure you permanently.
