Harris has again become the owner of the New s-Mirror, J.C. Shuler retiring". Brother Harris is warmly welcomed to his old place in the journalistic ranks. An editor ought not to array the poor against the rich, the unfortunate against the successful, nor class against class. He ought not to be a pessimist, but rather an optimist, not an iconoclast but an architect, not a preacher of discontent but an evangel of good cheer and hope. The t remendous strides maae by the United States during the past three or four years are yet but dimly realized by the American people and the onward march is unchecked. First came acknowledged supremacy in war, then in finance, and again in manufacturing. Within a short time we have seen evidences of the nation's supremacy in trade and now come the Germans, whose educational system has been the admiration of the world, and appoint commissioners to investigate our public schools with a view to adopting the methods in vogue in this country and that were original with our pedagogues. Surely the wrld do move. The famous Hope diamond that arrived from London Thursday is a cushion-shaped stone a little larger than an ordinary hickory nut and weighs 44 carats. It is a perfect sapphire blue without aflaw and has all the brilliancy of the finest white stone. The importer who brought it to this country refused 83:0,000 for it before the ship landed, the offer being made by a jeweler who chaitered a tug U meet the vessel for that purpose. The gem received its name from Henry T. JIIopc, 'a banker, who owned it at the time of his death recently and the nineteen English heirs to whom it descended sold it to the present American owner through chancery court process. It is the largest blue diamond everdiscovered. What is a farm? The census department holds .that a "farm" is all the land under one management used for raising crops and pasturing live stock, with thev.wood lots, swamps, meadows etc., connected therewith the house in which'the farmer resides, a,nd ail other buildings used by him in connection with his farming operations. The term "farm products," as used'in the census means all crops raised, of whatsoeverCkind, and all animals produced, whether sold or slaughtered on the farm, together with the products thereof; it includes ereals, live stock , fruits, vegetables, poultry, eggs, milk, butter, cheese, honey, or anything that is raised, or made from what is raised, on the farm and that has a salable or usable value. By deducting from the total value of all the farm products the value of such products as are fed or consumed on the farm producing them the "gross farm income" is obtained; and by deducting from the. gross income the' expenditures for taxes, interest, insurance, feed, repairs and maintenance, clothing, purchased food, and family necessities the "net farm income" is found. The value of the land, buildings, permanent improvements, machinery, implements, vehicles, animals for work and breeding, and household and stable furniture constitutes the "investment." The percentage which the "net income," is cf tho "investment" is the rate of profit to the farmer over the cost of living and operating the farm, now many farmers know definitely 'where they are at"? A new note has come into the Thanksgiving rejoicings in this first year of the twentieth century and it was Ltie dominant tone of the day throughout the land. As expressed by the Chicago Evening News, which is certainly not a republican journal, it is as follows: But the citizen who takes sober thcught of the situation tomorrow may well doubt) whether any of the achievements of material ambition is so important to himself or to his country as is the present manifest promise that principle and honesty and fair dealing are to be more than ever the determining factors in American statesmanship. The national administration passed from the hands of McKinley just after he had outlined a policy based on a peculiarly high conception of government. The manifold duties he laid down have passed without disturbance to a successor who holds the same high views and has the courage and resolution to follow them. Sur;ly in the promise of future greatness thus held out before them the American people have reaarn to feel the glow of thanksgiving. ;:i5

The brilliant entrance of the Indianapolis Sentinel into the ranks of picturesque journalism, with handmade heads and complicated column arrangements, is distinctly the feature of the year in Hoosier newspaper circles. A delightful feature of its first issue in the new form is the pervasive Indiana color and atmosphere given by its selection of miscellaneous matter. The Indianapolis make-up artists have been conservative for so long that the Sentinel's change brings a considerable shock, but the effect is pleasing nevertheless.

Metsker says it is none of his business if Daniel "wants to burn his toes by trying to start a daily paper in Plymouth." The queer little man's assumption of indifference does not comport well with his conduct and threats. He has threatened to reduce his price to six cents per week and to cut the rates for legal -advertising most ridiculously the day Dan's daily appears; he has admitted that the newpaper will work- a loss to him and claims he has roped in two foreign corporations to bear that loss; he has declared that he will endeavor to injure the interests of the democrat party and he has conducted himself like a whipped and scared pup ever since Dan's fateful announcement appeared. Metsker has made it very much his business and he has only just begun. PROFESSIONAL AMENITIES. The Indiana Weekly, a periodical published at Indianapolis of date of 23d inst, contains a double column portrait of "Clay W. Metsker, of Plymouth, editor and publisher of the Independent (daily)." It is further stated under his picture, undoubtedly written by himself, as nobody else in this section of the state was in possession of the knowledge, . that "He is one of the most active, popular and influential democrats of Northern Indiana. His name is frequently mentioned as a candidate for the democratic congressional nomination in the Thirteenth district." It takes something like a quart of gall, a whole lot of cheek and about $10 in money to get a puff like that! Plvmouth Democrat. NO GLIMMER OF SENSE IN THEIR PROPOSITION. Several republican papers, the Review among them, are advocating either a reduction of the tariff or its removal upon trust products as a means of destroying these combinations. That same policy was advocated by the democratic party during the last national campaign, and was opposed, strenuously, vigorously," by these same papers. - Their change of heart, however, is not remarkable, nor is it important enough to discuss. A speckled hen is usually a good clucker. Granting, for the sake of the argument, that trusts could be abolished by revising the tariff, what good could be accomplished by such a policy? Take the glass industry as an exam ple. There are perhaps a hundred j thousand employes engaged in the manufacture of glass products, who would be thrown out of employment if a sufficient reduction were made to break up the trust, because that com bination is legally organized as a single corporation and its different factories would have to be closed before the corporation could go into liquidation and have its property divided. Suppose this same policy of smashing trusts were - pursued in the steel and iron industry, in sugar refining and other large trust corporations? The result would be the enforced idleness of a million or more of working people, ä number sufficient to girdle the country with tramps and beggars. But that would not be the worst feature of this trust abolishing lolly. Fully one-half our trust products are not protected by a high tariff. We would then have a million of houseless, homeless working people and another million or so still in the employ of trusts like the Standard Oil company, our transportation companies, some of our mining enterprises, gas trusts, electric trusts and similar combinations. The products of cheap foreign labor would also flood our markets, because there would be no tariff to exclude them and this now prosperous country would become an industrial cemetery with idle mills and factories as tomb stones to mark the graves of our commercial hopes. By all means revise the tariff to kill trusts. We have a lot of nincompoop editors who deserves starvation. If congress is sensible it will go about tariff revision in a careful manner. Few people know the cost of production in this country as compared with that of other countries. That knowledge is essential and should be investigated by experts. It would be madness to admit foreign products to be sold here at a less price than we can produv them because their sale would compel the idleness of American working people. - The tariff needs revision but not to break up trusts nor to destroy our manufacturing interests. Let the revision be made by experts and according to the demands of industrial conditions. Also let trusts be abolished or regulated as may be necessary by laws enacter'. for that express purpose. Klkhart Truth (dem.)

What Metsker, with his six-cent paper and his two-penny legal advertising, hopes to do to Dan is a plenty; what Dan will actually do to Metsker when the war opens will astonish that arrogant and insolent little fellow. And yet Dan need not do much but give the calf rope and let it do its own hanging.

Reports from Washington indicate a strong probability that the disclosures of irregularity in the navy department made in the Schley inquiry and the powerful suspicion of favoritism and conspiracy that has been strengthened by those disclosures will be probed by a congressional investigation. This is as it should be and congress should not stop without going through the war department in the . same manner. The conditions in both those departments are scandalous if not corrupt and bureaucracy prevails to a disreputable extent. This is not a political matter and partisan lines should be swept aside in conducing the inquiry. The Independent says it has always served the democratic party faithfully because it believes in democratic principles and has never asked for the legal advertising as a reward for its fidelity. Here are two unadulterated lies. The Independent always posed as an independent paper and made emphatic claims of its freedom from political influence up to the time its present editor concluded to become a candidate for "state representative." Its influence has on several occasions been offered to the republicans for a price and within sixty days a suggestion has been made by its present publisher to change the name of the weekly Independent to the Republican and run it as a republican paper, the daily edition to be neutral in politics, the purpose being to hoodwink the subscribers to the old Republican and in that way get a better business than the wabbly Independent now enjoys. So much for its fidelity to political principles. As to the legal advertising, every county officer during the past six years, every democratic lawyer and many clients know that Metsker has asked and begged for that class of business and failing to get it he has tried cajolery and even threats without success. And the absurd creature has not the wit to know that the rich revenues from that source have dwindled away and that is really what is the matter with Daniel now. The Independent is as stingy with truth as it is with news, neither of which graces its columns to any great extent so far as they are printed in Plymouth. ABOUT THAT FACTORY. The day-late Independent cherishes in its well-filled armory of disreputable weapons one particular lie that it is fond of using to excuse the scoops we hand it almost daily. The lie is that it was in possession of the facts under a promise not to print and that we violated confidence in publishing those facts. It follows this up with a weak rehash of our statement in the particular case. Its latest use of this lie was in reference to the failure of the piano people to take the Novelty plant and it tries to make it appear that the Plymouth Business Men's association has been concealing from the public matters in which the people are all interested. m Our information was given us by a person who was authorized to do so and it was imparted for the express purpose of placing it before the people as a matter of right to the n. The Business Men's association is not dealing in secrets but is playing entirely fair with the people in whose interest it is organized and .whose confidence it must retain if it is to meet with with any sort of success in its earnest efforts to buld up the business of the city. X paper that has no more sense than to attack the good faith of the merchants and professional men whose patronage it seeks will assuredly not be selected as a safe medium of communication with the people when facts are to be made public. Decision On a Novel Point The case of the State of Indiana on the relation of J. W. Maxey, truant officer, vs Joseph Pippenger, a resident of North township, was tried before Justice of the Peace Molter today. The defendant's son, Adelbert, is in his fourteenth year and the father refused to keep him in school. School age, as defined in the statute, is from the seventh to the fourteenth year, both inclusive, and the contention of the state, represented by Attorney L. M. Lauer, was that this includes the whole period from the beginning' of the seventh year to the end of the fourteenth, in which view the court concurred and rendered judgment against Mr. Pippenger. The case will oe appealed and may ultimately reach the supreme court, as both parties are determined and each is confident he is right. Poor things, unheard of, unused, they died upon the field of dishonor. We refer to substitutes for genuine Rocky Mountain Tea, made by Madison Medicine Co. 35c, J. W. Iless.

m CLEM STUDEBAKER. The death of Clem Studebaker removes a man who from the humblest beginnings attained a position of world-wide honor and importance among the captains of industry. He was the son of a poor country blacksmith and commenced his own career as a country schoolmaster at South Bend half a century ago. In 1851, being then twenty years of age, he took employment as blacksmith in a factory and received fifty cents a day and his board. One year later his ambition led him to embark in business for himself, which he did in company with his brother, Henry. They opened a blacksmith shop, and between them they had to start on a complete set of tools and a little cash less than a hundred dollars in value all together. Out of this grew the largest vehicle manufacturing establishment in the world. In those days all blacksmith shops made wagons and theStudebaker boys made good wagons. In ten years every farmer within reach of South Bend knew .of the uniform excellence and honesty of the output of the little blacksmith and wagon shop at South Bend and the industry was expanding in proportion to the growth of the community. By thrift, economy, enterprise and hard business sense the Studebakers were able to enlarge their plant from time to time. They took in other brothers and confined their business o the building of wagons. When the war broke out they had their affairs so well in hand that thev felt safe in taking a contract to furnish one hundred army wugons to the government, and that was regarded asanundertak-" ing that might ruin them. By the close of the war they had satisfactorily filled many government orders and had become one of the leading industrial concerns of the state. Clem Studebaker was'always at the head of the institution. His genius made it. When the firm incorporated in 1868 he was made president and that position he held continuously until his death and always: regarded as the most honorable distinction of all that were conferred upon him during the past thirty years. He was president in fact as well as in tit le and he never ceased to labor for the institution that bore his name. Mr. Studebaker was a broad man a highminded one. He realized the duties of Christian citizenship and strove to perform them. He made the highest moral 'and civic virtues his own and exemplified them in all the relations of life. The possession of wealth and influence and the attainment of high position in the world-of business and politics never detracted from the genial affability that made him always approachable- in the true American spirit. South Bend will miss the splendid personality of Clem Studebaker; Indiana will miss hie counsels and his influence, and the nation has lost one of the men that contributed much to make it great. His marvelous career from the anvil to so great an eminence among men is an illustration of the possibilities that lie before every American youth, however humble may be his origin.

The Studebaker Obsequies. The time, for the funeral of Clem Studebaker was set for Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock at Tippecanoe Place. The services were private and there was no music. The officiating ministers were Rev. Dr. J. G. Campbell, present pastor of St. Paul's Methodist church, and Rev. Dr. E. A. Schell, of Chicago. Rev. W. E. McLennen, of Evanston, and Rev. S. W. Goss, of Crawfordsville, all former pastors of Mr. Studebaker, also took part in the solemn ceremonies. The Studebaker employees were invited to view the remains from 8 to 10 o'clock Saturday morning; the general public from 10 to 12 o'clock. The family requested that no flowers be sent. The honorary pallbearers consisted of twenty-four leading and representative men of South Bend and the active pallbearers were six nephews of the deceased. A very large number of persons from out of town were present, including the governor. Dire Warning to Obtain From Slander. A gentleman over at Pierceton, having just cause for wrath, cards the papers of that town as follows: This notice is to the public, that there has been a few smart boys in Pierceton continually calling me those slanderous names which was published in the year 1899 Sept. the 21st day. The slandering names are "Ring tail squealer the cow tail pealer." Gentlemen as I do not intend to use such lmguage up on my fellow men neither do I care to have it used up on me. This is from date. Harry Stillwell, Elzie Atchison and Jane Rice's boy as I do not know his first name those boys I will briefly say if they can not obtain from slandering me will be arrested to the full extent of the law. If I have harmed any one or done anything to cause such slander please leave it to be known to me. Here is my full name so that there will be no mistake. Reaneous Steele.
