the best line of popular priced SOUND HEALTHY TALK Rights andWrougs of Organized Labor and Organized Capital. There is a downright pleasure in reading the speech made by Mr. E. E. Clark, of Cedar Rapids, la., to the Twentieth Century Club at Boston, He enunciated no novel doctrine, promulgated no new and undiscovered principle of right, and half a century ago his statements would have been dismissed as axiomatic. But a mighty revolution has been working, since then and there is such a tendency to merge the individual right thut it is endangered from the forces of both capital and labor. Mr. Clark represents labor on the anthracits coal strike commission, and his address has an added importance in consequence. He said: The Individual striker may strike with his fellows or remain at work. No striker has the right to use violence or intimidation' against the man who elects to work. No striker has the right to destroy or injure the property of his former employer. "If organized labor cannot work out its salvation without reporting to unlawful acts its existence cannot be defended, No employer has a right to blacklist any man who wants to work and labor has legitimately kept within his privileges, no matter how obnoxious to organized labor or any of its membership." There is a whole economic gospel in these propositions. When they are accepted cap ital and labor will be working shoulder to shoulder. A Delightful Pedro Party.

Law to Regulate Marriage. A bill has been introduced in the Indiana legislature calculated to benefit society and the race in general. Its provisions are that person afflicted with tuburculcsis or other contagious diseases, or who are convicts, or paupers maintained at the expense of the state, shall be prohibited from marrying. This bill embodies views presented by Hon. Charles H. Reeve, of Plymouth many years ago. It is a matter that should be dealt with in a sensible and scientific manner. Two or three states now have laws along this line. For a good, hearty, nounshing winter breakfast, to fit one for work or play, eat Mrs. Austin's Pancakes. 000,000,000 in 1850, was $20,000,000,000 in 1902. .We had 9,021 miles of railroad in 1850,and nave 201,839 miles now.

Since the Chronicle suspended the papers of Northern Indiana are inclined to roast the proprietors, but some of the articles are very temperate and practical. Among these is the following from the Rochester Republican: "After an existence of about eighty publication days the Plymouth Daily Chronicle announces that after its is sue of Febuary 28th the daily publication will be discontinued, and the undiYided attention of the projectors is to be given to the Weekly Chronicle to make it easily the official paper of every, town in Marshall county." This move, is not surprising and to ' our mind is the beginning of the end of the third paper In Plymouth. There was no need of a second republican paper in Plymouth and the passing of this shadow is enly another evidence of the fool hardiness of a number of political malcontents in an effort to breakdown the old established paper, Mr. Hendricks, of the Tribune, has been and is giving the people of Marshall county a live, progressive paper and it would have been in better keeping with the eternal fitness of things had the republicans of Plymouth and Marshall county used the same amount of energv in sustaining, encouraging and assisting the Tribune as they have in endeavoring to break it down, and all because the boss politicians could not lead the editor around by the nose. Tlie Tribune man has probably made mistakes, he is human, therefore not infallable, but it would have been the better part of wisdom had the republicans of Marshall county buried their differences.. There is no more need three papers in Plymouth than there is need of three tails on a dog, and a project started in a revengeful spirit can not meet other than ultimate defeat. The third paper racket has beet tried to a finish in better towns than Plymouth and we are not surprised to see the Chronicle facing its Waterloo." The South Bend Times, Valparaiso Messenger, Elkhart Truth nnd many other papers have articles along the same line and some of them are very sarcastic. House Kills Marriage BilL The house has killed Senator Lindley's bill to prevent the marriage of consumptiyes, convicts, jail birds and paupers who are dependent on the state. It was passed by the senate last week but it received scant courtesy with the house judlcicary committee, which recommended It for indefinite postponement. Licdley spent four years trying to get a law of this kind. Murder the Safest Crime. The state's attorney of Cook county . says murders have become so common In Chicago that public conscience has become dulled, that such crimes are regarded as of little more importance than fist fights. There are now pending' in the Chicago courts 56 cases of murder, and such crimes are of daily occurrence. The jury Is inclined to say, when a man is tried for murder, "It is his first ofTence; we might as well let him go." V Great spring tonic. Drives out all Impurities. Makes the blood rich.
