Plynonth, Ind., February 20. 1902. Cuba has the chance to enter the United States and territory, and hat is one of the biggest concessions on earth. The anniversary of Lincoln's birth was celebrated m all the large cities north and south and orators in all sections eulogized the great war president. i It is well enough to make hay while the sun shines: but, adds the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Tost if there were no rainy weaMier there would beno hav to make. Prof. Pearson has resigned his chair at Northwestern university, and his resignation has been accepted. This U as i; ought to be, except that he should have resigned tlrst and done his talking later. After a long struggle the oleomsrgerine bill has passed both houses cf congiess and will be stamped and taxed before it is sold; but before it was passed, it was amended so that the cheap butter which is collected and wojked over, which is kuown as process butter, shall be stamped as such by those who change its apparent quality. The Iowa senate committee on consititutional amendments and suffrage have recommended the equal-suffrage ancendment for pass?e, and the bill will come before the senate in a few days. The women suffragists will make a strong light to secure the passige of the amendment by this legislature, and to expect to have several lobbyists in DesMoines. Congressman Brick did not vote for the oleomargerine bill although Hon. Aaron Jones, of South Bend, spent two weeks at Washington in behalf of the bill. Crumpacker, Ovrestreet and Steele voted for the bill; Griffith, Miers, Robinson. Watson and Zenor against. Five Indiana congressmen, cf whom one was the Thiiteenth district representative, failed to vote on either side of thatquestion. The hope of getting something for nothing is a favorite delusion of many people who have small savings to invest and is the basic principle of the hordes of "investment'' and 'cooperative" schemes that spring up in good times when wage-earners are able to lay by a little of their hardearned income. Some one is always left to hold the bag in such concerns, and it is not the promoters or their agents but their credulous dupes. There are plenty cf safe ways to invest surplus earnings but good things do net have to be pushed on people. It is believed by the republican leaders that the democratic opposition to the Philippine bill is wearying of its fruitless fight in the senate, and getting ready to let the bill come to a vote. A good many democratic senators are impatient to get at bills on the calendar which they will not be allowed to consider until the , Philippine bill is disposed of. They are greatly disappointed that so little attention is paid to the issue they have raised, and the newspapers throughout the country generally are ignor ing the fine wrath with which they denounce the adminstratian policy on the f.oor of the senate. It takes them some time to learn that the Philippine question as a campaign issue is dead, but they are gradually coming to their senses, PEOPLE THE SOURCE OF POWER. Senator Cullom in a letter defining the source of power in political parties says. 4,The republican party is the source cf all the power possessed by its central committee or its chairman. Both the committee and its chairman are created to unify the energies of the paity, not to disperse or pervert them. Their duty to candidates Is limited to their election, not to dictating their nomination to the rank and rile of the party. Successful party action can result only from concord in all its parts. This cannot be when the chairman of its committee, abuses the party trust committed to his care. "The whole of the party is greater than any of its parts. The party committees, the subcommittees, the chairman, and all the machinery of organization are a part only of the party. They are the instruments devised to carry elections, to give expression to thewillöfa majority in nominating candidates , or in announcing party principles. So republican will claim that these instruments ought to be used to control that majority. Their use is for all the party, not for individuals or factions of the party.

The Indiana n-edical board, acting with the health boards of Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio, is engaged in the details of a plan for reciprocal relations, not only with the boards named, but with all the other state boards in the country. It is proposed to formulate the f etails of legislation that will make all state medical laws harmonious; that will require from the physicians of one state observance of the same rules that is required in another; that will permit accredited physicians to practice in any state under a license they may have received from another state. The reciprocity plan originated at a meeting of tne medical boards of Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana held in Chicago January 17.

The assassination of King Humbert was planned in Iew York and the police now have the names of the men who conspired with Bresci. Just four months before the crime was committed Malatesta who was then hiding in this country, planned the assassination at a secret meeting of Italian anarchists in. New York City. At the close of the meetingBresci volunteered his services and was loudly applauded. Malatesta promised to return to Eu rope to watch the situation and send word when the time wa. ripe for the blow. Both Bresci and Malateska kept their word, and King Humbert died the death that was planned for him in New York. The lower house of congress has unanimously adopted a resolution pro posing an amendment to the constitu tion of the United States for the elec tion of United States senators by a direct popular vote. Tnis is the fourth time the house has adopted a similar resolution. A majority of senators always appose the amnd ment, and it gets no further. The senators seem afraid to trust the people. Senators who rely on money to elect them think it is cheaper to buy a legislature than a majority of all the voters. The organization of flour millers of the United States under one general head has been effected. Twenty thousand milling concerns are included in tne organization, representing a capital of $700,000,000. The central headquarters will be located in Chicago or Minneapolis and there will prob ably be branches in New York, St. Louis, Cincinnati, New Orleans, San Francisco and at other points. A definite understanding has been reached bv the river and harbor com mittee that the river and harbor bill, now approaching completion, shall be kept down to about $60,000,000 the amount carried by the measure framed and defeated last year. The committee is working daily, out the decisions on specific items are all tentative and open to revision. Joseph Chamberlain the British colonial secretary gives no hopes to Boers. He defends his policy, and declares that the war must be carried on to the end. Truth and Honesty in Politics. Abraham Lincoln stood for the best things in the politics of his time. He did so because convictions were higher than ambitious designs. He believed that the republican party should stand for the best ideas, and that only the best men should be called to public position by it. No man had so much faith in the American people as Abraham Lincoln. For that reason he never played the demagogue to them. He never appealed to class prejudice. He never tried to array labor against capital or the poor against the rich. Be went to them with all the truth as he saw it, and the people never failed him in the greatest crises of the Nation. Today republicans in whose hearts there is a particle of tne spirit of Abraham Lincoln, whether in the Terre Haute Haute meeting or elsewhere, demand that the republican standard be carried aloft by men of patriotism, brains and positive integrity. If the party is imbued with the spirit of Lincoln, Indiana will continue as certainly a republican state as Iowa. It can only be lost to republicanism by ignoring the life and teachings of Abraham Lincoln. Indianapolis Journal. Back in the White House. President Roosevelt returned to the white house Friday forenoon in a very happy frame of mind after Ave anxious days at the Ixidside of his boy, who has been critically ill with pneumonia at Groton,Mass. The journey back to the seat of government was made much more leisurely than the hasty dash into New England last Sunday, when the president's anxiety to reach his son outran the fastest special train, The trip toGroton was made in fourteen hours, but the return journey took eighteen hours and the president had a chance to make three short rear car speeches to the crowds at Worcester, Woonsocket and Providence. In each he assured the waitiug hundreds that Ted" was all right, and out of the woods, and in each case the crowd seemed as joyous as the president and cheered vociferously.

REAL HEROES AT SANTIAGO

They Were the Bluejacket, and the Of ficers Who Prepared Them. Rear Admiral Sampson, having reached the age limit, is today retired from active service in the navy, full of honors but broken in health. His physical condition is due in a great measure to the bitter controversy tha has been waged for the past three years over the question as to who was responsible for the victory of Santiago. The sympathy of the American people goes out to him in his illness. So bitter was this controversy that the work of the American navy was lost sight of by the partisans who promoted it and kept alive for three years the tires of jealousy. .Now that all of the principal acton's in this great war drama have retired from the stage, the Ameri an people can take a calm, dispassionate view of the situation and place the honor for this great victory where it justly belongs. It was the American navy that won the victory of Santiago and virtually put an end to the Spanish war by wiping out the Spanish navy. The real heroes of Santiago there was not one hero, but a legion of them were the men who fought the American ships. Drill, discipline and the spirit of American seamen that has carried the stars and stripes to the front in a thousand bloody sea fights added Santiago to our long list of naval victories. It was tte men who had confi dence in their officers, officeas who had confidence in their men, commanders who knew their ships and captains who knew how to right them, engineers who knew the capacity of their engines and gunners who had been trained to hit what they fired at. Cervera was a gallant commander and his men fought well, but Cervera 's fleet was riddled with shot, burned and sunk so quickly that the battle was the wonder of the naval world. The Spanish fleet lacked what the American fleet had drill, discipline, confidence in its officers and the splendid personnel of men from captain to coal passer. To the men of our fleet belongs the glory of the victory. To the officers who drilled the men and won their confidence belongs the glory of producing and educating men and officers who can be relied upon to carry our flag to victory when foes assail us, To Admiral Sampson belongs the specific glory of organizing the forces which won at Santiago. Albany Times. Raw Deal for Fulton County. Under the above caption the Rochester Republican publishes the special from South Bend to Indianapolis announcing that the district committee had met at South Bend and fixed the date of congressional convention, and comments as follows; G. F. Barcus, Fulton county's chairman was not informed of the star chamber meeting. Congressional nominating conventions are usually held in June and the delegates thereto chosen a month previous. This scheming is under the direction of Brick who fears the development of a certain competitor for congrassional honors. Fulton county Republicans demand fair play and dot no wish to participate in any matter that is calculated to deceive the honest voter. " Thirteenth's Early Convention. The early date of the Thirteenth district congressional convention, February 26 (delegates to be chosen February 24), is regarded as shutting out any possibility of successful opposition to Congressman Brick's renomination for a third term. The announcement of a date so early fairly took the people's breath away. If there be any of the reported opposi tion it will hardly have time to organize in the two weeks left. Indian apolis News. Big Frolic Ends Badly. Logansport schools indulged in a snow and sleighing carnival in which over 200 turnouts took part. The schools were dismissed ana the chil dren were given rides in immense bobsleds drawn by two, four or six horses, especially rigged up for the occasion. During the parade, while turning a corner, one of these sleds, containing 159 children from the est schools upset. Miss Anna Swadener, the teacher in charge, was painfully injured, and Curtis Espy, a ten-year-old boy, suffered a broken leg. In the crush a score or more other children were severely bruised, but none seriously hurt. Another Reminder. Prince Henry of Germany will land in the United States on Washington's birthday. This will be another reminder that Prince Henrv's ancestor, Frederick the Great, presented a sword to Washington from the oldest general in Euiope to the greatest in either hemisphere.

I feel better this evening and expect to get a good night 's rest. The Lord's Prayer. Undoubtedly, of all set prayers, the Lord's Prayer is the one most often repeated. The church has prayed it for nineteen hundred years. The palsied tongue of age and the lisp of childhood's voice have joined in saying the words which the Lord, the the Shepherd of all, has given us. What a prayer it is! So brief, jet as long as eternity, So simple, yet so profouud that the most learned .have adopted it as the expression of their souls. Like the ten commandents or the Golden Rule, it involves all things of Christian life or worship. The few short sentences contain the whole wisdom of life. They tell us of all divine gifts and of our human duty. But there is a grave danger fn the frequent repetition of the prayer, in that we may lose its meaning and find ourselves engaged in a mechanical repetition of words. Since every new stage of life as we advance from childhood to old age, brings us into new relations with our Lord, and since his love and power is revealed to us in new forms, the words "Our Father," "daily bread," 4 'tresspasses" and our "temptation," should come to us with newer and fuller meaning. Selected. Elopes With His Stepmother. John Yount, a well-to-do farmer residing six miles southeast of WTarsaw, is experiencing troubles of a domestic character entirely out of the ordinary. Mr. Yount is past 70 years of age and is mavried to his fifth wife, a goodiooking young lady of 24 years. Winter and Spring were joined in wedlocktwo or three years ago, and it seems everything about the Yount home got along swimmingly until William, 18 years old, and the son ot Mr. Yount by a former marriage, appeared on the sceno a few days ago. The warm attachment of the young man for 1 is young stepmother was evidently reciprocal, for on Tuesday last Yount, junior, eloped with his father's wife, taking along with them $4o0, which the old man avers belonged to him, but which was deposited in Warsaw in the wife's naraa. It is said the eloping couple was last seen driving west of Warsaw, and it Is now thought that the "young folks" are in the vicinity of Winamac, where Mrs. Yount has relatives. The young man has a bad reputation and was accused with stealing $2"0 a few months ago. Warsaw Times. Rich Young Men Apprentices. A young grandson of General Grant is working in the shops of the Wcstinghouse electrical works in Pittsburg with a view of gaining practical knowledge of electrical mechanics. This is becoming quite a fad among the sons of millionaires or distinguished men. The idea is a good one and is generally commended, for tne young man who is not above work in the shops, where his hands and face are covered witli dirt and grime, is generally worth good money in positions of trust and responsibility. Besides the information they can gain by begin ning at the bottom is valuable to them when in after years they engage in the business for themselves. No young man should be above work and it does a man good to see young men engaged in honorable employment dressed according to the work they are called upon to do. Columbia City Post. -
