" ' The Only Republican Paper In the County Plymouth, Ind., December 4 1902. Indiana's retiring attorney general has suggested in hisreport that prosecuting attorneys should be paid a salary instead of fees, and. the proposition is so sound that the. legislature should give it earnest consideration 4 . -t.tr'- . The coogfessional eulogy of members who have died during, recess, is a somewhat ti resume and r perfunctory proceedings, but it is to be preferred to the congressional - funeral; which is merely a pretext for anxtensite congressional drunk. As desirable as is cheaper postage to the commercial world, undoubtedly the country at large would prefer to pay 2 cents for sealed letter transportation indefinitely if in doing so free rural delivery could be adequately exte deu and properly conducted. President Koosevelt's message to congressHOfges legislation for regulation of trusts, warns against radical tariff changes as menace to prosperity, urges appointment of expert commision, and indorses reciprocity plan of securing reduction of duties. The message is generally praised by republican leaders. The Belgian newspapers are publishing stories of horrible atrocites by the Turks in Macedonia. ' Children are "reported to havebeen Ijoril to pieces in the presence of their parents, men have been roasted aliye and others tortured with red hot melds placed on their heads. Maiy rxasanjs are said to have teen starved io eatb. "; The annals of ocean adventures have seldom furnished a more interesting story than that of the capture of an American steamer by -jceberga in the orth Pacific and her helpless drifting to within t.00 miles of the north pole. As this is nearer the pole than any other ship has ever got perhaps future experiments had Setter be made, by drifting with the ice. It muse be plain to even the casual obseiver that the tide Of immigration which is how sweeping into Canada from this country and that aquirement.of large tracts ofjland there- by. citizens of the U qi ted, States ; simply, tends to hasten that inevitable day when this great continent, from the ice-bound wilderness of the 'north to the waters of the soutaern seas will know but one flag and' one 'political religion. Terre Haute Tribune' 1 ' The Democrats of McLean county, Illinois, of which Bloomington, is -the county seat, had a great celebration last Mondav, Dec. 1. The occasion was the inaugration . of a democratic sheriff, the first elected since 1848. Since then the county has elected republican sheriffs with monotonous regularity until this year. A party that gets an opportunity to celebrate only once in fifty years cannot bg' amed for utilizing it. The commissioner of Indian affairs, in his annual report, says the government has abandoned the bid plan of issuing rations to Indians and has compelleJ them to toii?far itbeir Hying. It has been generally believed that the noble red man could never be made to work, but the commissioner says the experiment has been a decided success. The Indian is not cast out to care for himself, but is shown bow to work, and does very well, now that he has discovered, that he cannot be fed In idleness. i tOne point brought. out prominently in Secretary Hitchcock's report will earn him the gratitude of western set tlers and intending, smlere.- This te his protest against the fencing in of the public lands by big cattle "combines, and against wha$ .are .railed "hoborr filings-that is to say, thp n lands by 'rrVrislSrhd 'do filing upon not intend tu settle permanently on themn hut presently tp, ty&fo ttoenjk over to some capitalist or company, that bai'grÜbSUkedM 'ttiem .nd' paid them forthclrtlnlfel'-0

Most of the" democratic' papers com

mend the president's message. The theDäV.TjpeSusays;: .-There is notftfng- vreärisdme ifi'thV second annual message of President Roosevelt. It is written in arjBtyle to please those who like directness and frankness. Its meaning is easily understood," its purpose readily comprehended. The state debt of Indiana is now only t2,8887,615.12. By maintaining the present levy for state purposes, this debt can soon be wiped out. The credit of the state is all that could be desired. It is a. good idea1, however, to wipe out the debt, while the country is in ihe enjoyment, of general prosperity, - The Indiana district judgeship matter is still undetermined, and today no one Is able to say who will be the successful 1 candidate . for the "place. The friends of the different men mentioned have been zealous in their presentation of the names of the candidates, but no intimation . has come from the white house or the attorney, general as to who is to be appointed.' Leon O. Bailey, former law partner Uf Juhn W. Kern at Indianapolis, and an enthusiastic Bryanite in 1896, announces himself a firm believer in the doctrines espoused by Grover Cleveland. He says all democrats who take a disinterested and impartial view of the political situation must concede that Grover preaches the true doctriue and that he is a safe man to lead the nartv. Next! Congressman Litteltield, of Maine, is said to be busily engaged in fram-' ing an anti-trust bill. Unlike some others, Littlefieid is honest and sincere in wanting to do something effective by way of curbing the trusts, A bill framed by him would satisfy the country, and there is some likelihood of his handiwork getting the approval of the individuals controlling legislation by the present congress. The fact is recalled that Senator Charles Y. Fairbanks might today be president of the United States had he consented to accept the vice presidential nomination in 1900, which be could have had by simply saying yes. But he expected to be a presidential candidate in 1904, and he didn't care to be" "politically shelved" by being made vice president. .Fate sometimes asserts itself quite unexpectedly. President Roosevelt emphatically declares that great corporations must be regulated but he savs we must be careful in our legislation not to stop the great enterprises which have legitimately reduced the cost of production: He belives that monopoles and unjust discriminations can be reached by the power of congress to regulate foreign and domestic commerce, a position that will be supported by the best thinkers of the country. . Congressman . Hepburn, .. of Iowa, hasa very simple method for taking the' fang out of vicious trusts. His proposition is to tax the watered stock of all corporations that are organized on the grasping trust plan. .The Iowa man's scheme is somewhat similar to the one suggested several months ago by Senator Morgan, of Alabama. Merged Tnto one, these propositions might. form the basis for an -entirely effective and efficacious anti-trust law. South Bend Times. , " . Indians Are Hard to Tame. Major Pratt, , the United States army officer who is in charge of the Carlisle Indian school, admits that many of bis graduates who return to tribal life fall into Indian ways again. Therefore he is doing all be can to prevent the educated Indians from going back to the reservations. . He tells of an incident he saw at a Western Indian agency. A squaw enteredtrader's stSre, wrapped in a blanket, pointed at a straw Jiat and asked:- ''How muchee?' s . "Fifty cents," said the merchant. ' "How muchee?" she asked again, pointing at another article; The . price was quoteg, ana was ioiwwea. oy. ar other 'ijuery of "How muchee?" --Then she suddenly gazedblandly at the merchant and asked, mildly: Do you not regard suc'prices as extortionate for articles of such palpably and unmistakably inferior quality? I Do you not really believe that a' eauction in your charges wouia materTOiiy ennance iyour pecuniary prontg, a( (frelj as be ethically .proper? I beg 4 nsideT;myVsUggesUon. " in- , Life Term for a Bridegroom. f Charles Terry, a bridegooom of less than twenty-four hours, was Monday fe'ntehcecLlnvthe Floyd Circuip Court to serve a life term in the penitentiary at Michigan City for killing Tobias Baker last May; Sunday he was married .in his cell in the county jail to May Spires. . ' ' ' Terry shot and killed Baker in a quarrel over the affections of Nora McGinnis. He bad discarded Miss Spires for the McGinnis woman, but the latter abandoned him after he was placed in jail. Terry was indicted for murder in the first degree, but agreed to plead guilty to murder in the second degree and take a life sentence.

. " The Ptaion Piay. T ; Under the auspices of the Marshall County Teachers' association, . . which was in annual session in this city; last Friday and Saturday, a representation by moving pictures upon canvas of the. famous "Passion Play," was given at the Washington school building. This miracle-play is acted every ten years by the people of Oberammergau, a village in Bavaria, near Munich, and represents the different scenes in the passion of Christ. It has attracted world-wide reputation, not only because of its exceedingly sacred nature, but also because of the faith f ul portrayals of the characters and the remarkable likeiiess of the actors, both by nature and disposition, to the sacred characters they personify. Attempts have been made "to produce the play In this country; but they have been failures. With the people of Oberammergau, however, the Passion Play is conducted as a religious service, aud not with a yiew of pecuniary profit, The reproduction of this play upon canvas by Prof, and Mrs; Bowden gave a vivid pic .ure of what the original must be. The moving pictures gave views of scenery and notable cities with their public buildings enroute. finally arriving at the little Bavarian village where the lecturer described the habits of the., people who with such unequaled aptitude have for so manv years performed this remarkable religious play. The characters for the various parts had, the lecturer said, grown into their parts from years of thought and practice. The spirit of the play had become a part of their lives. It was the ambition of every gin to be a Madonna, and the highest ideal of the boy was to be a Christus. So it was, that the dramatis persohae, as presented on canvas, correspond closely with one's conception of thosa characters. Thus, the man w ho represented John was so closely akin to the Ideal that one would recognize in him the 'beloved disciple:" while the high priest, Judas, the holy mother, and all the array of characters could be recognized by their close resemblance. ' The occasion was a rare event for Plymouth, and for its production the people are indebted to the county teacners' association, through Its officers. This association has set the initial for what should be a popular lecture and entertainment course. The auditoriums of the two school buildin? are wll adapted for such purposes, and the generosity and public spirit of the. school board in providing for the unequaled entertainment of Friday night could only be surpassed by a further extension of the privilege ol these auditoriums, from time to time, for entertainments of a kindred nature. The Mozart club deserves especial mention for its fine rendition of selections in harmony with the spirit of tne entertainment.

The Ignored Element. The feature in the discussion and action of the county and city superintendents of schools that will impress many who read the reports of their recent meetings is the largeness of the demands they make' upon the - taxpayer and the absence of any regard for the interests of that important element in the body politic. Possibly if more of those who call for larger expenditures werein a position where they couid realize the situation from the viewpoint of the thousands to whom the tax on a small home Or farm a burden, they would-be less emphatic in their demands based upon the assumption that it is right to take one man's savings to provide advantages for others. The outsider ana the taxpayer have cause to inquire whether it would not be better that some restriction be placed upon the privileges of higher education at the expense tof the state and whether those who are to be directly benefited shall not be required to contribute to the support of such Institutions. Jt is not forgotten that many, and perhaps most of . the students , in the state's institutions are young .people of limited means' but the .man who toils wonders if students, who have money to pay fares 'over the state' to baseball and football 'contests cannot just as well pay for tuitfcni ;';f; Another normal school' mä1 be needed, but it was declared about the meetings last week that those Whb are most zealous hope to have the operating of lt:: s The Journal does not make'thls' bhargep itlmpiy repeiti nuaii r as ucaiu auuub tue mccungs. If another sccl Is others than localities "Interested and people who entertalh1 the' single' 'Idea of ob-' talnlng what the believe tOj be neces-, sary regardless or vthe burden it imposes, should ascertaIhHhefact. A lobby of the superintendents such as has been provided for men already in the pay of the public for services should not have weight. To determine if such a school is' necessary a legislative committee or a commissicn independent of those who have shown a professional interest In It should make the investigation. Such an enterprise Involves a large expenditure at the outset and a large annual appropriation. Indianapolis Journal. Sale Bills printed at the Tribune.

o President Butler ol Columbia colleg.ev recently delivered an 'address on the .subjcct.of the American college in which he . deplored-, the ; fact that while a.vast amount of money, was being expended in building up American educational institutions at the present time, the cause of general; education was not receiving much benefit thereby,' as only the rich could afford to send their children to these schools. They were becoming principally club houses for the rich. . This is all too true. The young man or the young woman of intelligence, who are eager to get an education for what an education is worth to them are really blocked out of our big colleges, if they should happen to be in circumstances that prevents them from paying the exorbitant tuition fees exacted by most' of the institutions of learning of the' present time.J How much more consistent it would be as a direct' help 'to those who are anxious toper; f real educations if our philanthropic' college builders vvould use .some, of their surplus wealth in founding scholarships, or making provision for tse pi or and capable students to procure a good education. As in the case of building fine churches without' much religion in them, so is it the tendencv of modern times to build colleges without much education in thera. A few millions pent in sending worthy young people without means to a good university for the purpose of obtaining a thorough .education will be put to better u:e than in constructing massive buildings where only the rich can afford to attand; where the curriculum consists, largely or sports and fads that do no real service in the way of Improving the mind or morals of the young. The American college, like he American church is drifting toward the gilded club house more and more as the wealth of the American people increases. Soutn Bend Trib

une. The Exodus to Canada. A correspondent, writing of the American exodus to Canada of which .ve have heard so much lately, discusses the question whether the American will become a good Britisher when he ittaches himself to Baitish soil. He mentions thecase of five avrivals n Winnipeg from the States who were questioned on this, point after they had bought their tickets for the northwest Four of them were not troubing their heads about citizenship and vould as soon stay by the British flag is anv other. . But it turned out upon investigation that everv one of these was born a m British subject, and to them getting back under the British flag was like going home. The fifth had this to say: "Well I'm an American and I'll see them further first before I take an oath Uf allegiance. I won't do it." This may serverto give us an inkling of what this exodus to Canada really is. Maybe, after all, it is only one American to four adopted Americans who were born Britons and who probably subscribe to the sentiment of one of the Winnipeg party "once a British subject always a British subject." Bad Spelling and Public Schools. In connection with the methods and results of present, day teaching it is a matter of common remark among elderly persons how few good spellers there are. In former times, before public schools attempted to teach a little of every thing, good spelling was regarded asa accessary part of common school education, and was taught systematically and thoroughly. Now it Is either taught by some new-fangled method that does not produce good results or it is neglected in favor of some modern fad. The result is that there are more good spellers among the "graduates" of the country and town6chools of forty or fifty years ago than , there are among those of the elaborately organized and expensively conducted high schools of today. It would be interesting to know if there has been a similar decadence in knowledge of other common -branches - Avoid Pretty Wörnern" In administering a charge to a class of young ministers recently Bev W.
