Servian methods of dealing with political opponents recall the anecdote of the historic character, who, on his deathbed, was exhorted by his conlessor to forgive bis enemies. I have none," was the comfortable reply; "they are all dead." The job of selecting a democratic candidate for the presidency continues to absorb the attention of numerous well-meaning journalists and their labors illustrate the truth of the political maxim that the easiest men to nominate are the hardest to elect. Democratic papers are making considerable ado over the fact that under the administration of Mayor Golden Bule JoDes twenty democrats have been removed from employment at one fell sweep and twenty republicans appointed to take' their places. Tbe Golden Rule Mayor of Toledo is simply reforming the service of that city. Quite a number of newspapers are disposed to inquire whether the fifteenth amendment was not a mistake. There is no harm in the discussijn, but it is purely academic since, to all intents and purposes, tbe amendment no longer is recognized in the south and is scarcely more deferred to in the north. It is a condition and not a theory that confronts us. An increase in wages aggregating a million and a half dollars a year has been granted to the building trades of Chicago for the coming year. This affects only organized labor, but indi rectly an equal aggregate increase will without doubt accrue to unorganized workers during tbe same period, since tbe basis of competition will thus J e materially changed. The Governor of Kansas has an nounced that he will call a special ses sion of the legislature to consider the flood situation, providing a quorum of each house will agree to come and serve free of cost to tbe state. Enough members of both houses have so agreed to make it practically certain that an extra session will be called. The gratuitous service of the legislature as a contribution will not be excessive. In delivering tbe diplomas to the gradiating class at Wtct Point the .secretary of war said: "Before you leave the army, young men. according to all precedents in our history, you will be engaged in another war. It is bound to come, and will come." The secretary spoke from history, which shows that we have bad a war about every twenty-five years. What will cause it, from what quarter it will come, or who our antagonist will be are matters for conjecture. The discussion of who would and who would not accept the nomination for vice president js not particularly important. It is not unlikely that the masses of tbe republican party may do as they did in 1900, when they made op their mind on one man as a running matfir for McKinley and would not take no for an answer. And the event has shown that they made no mistake in forcing forward the best timber in tbe party. The office U altogether too important to be passed about to any medicare man that may express a willingness to accept It. Indianapolis Journal. "I never knew a man who was hurt by newspaper publications except men who should have been hurt"' was the just comment made by Chief Judge Fitzsimmons, of the New York city court, In an Interview with reference to the absurd libel law recently put upon :he statute books of Pennsylvania. "I believe," added Judge Fl tzsimmons, "that one reason why our nation has risen is tbat our public men have been subject to criticism. Such watchful criticism tends to make public servants careful, and where they do their duty thoroughly they should acquit themselves satisfactorily." It is not surprising to hear that there is considerable feeling among the intelligent classes in Servia in favor of the abolition of the monarchy and the creation of a' republic. Tbe idea of government by the people Is spreading more rapidly than appears on tbe surface. All the changes in form of governments in recent times have been from monarchies to repub-' lies. This is true in Mexico,' Brazil Cuba, Hawaii and France. There will be some more changes of this kind, but there will never be another monarchy established in a republic. The establishment of a republic in Servia would probably be impossible at present because Russia and Austria would not permit it,' but the timemay come ufcen the sentiment will be so strong ttzt they cannot prevent it.

The death of General McOook takes

another distinguished name from the list of survivors of the civil war. Hewas of the iamous family of "Fight ing McCooks,' 'and bis military services were conspicuously brilliant. It is generally believed that the So cialists will be the third party in next year's presidential contest, though tbe prohibitionists-seem to think that they will be able to hold that position. It is not improbable tbat at least six presidential tickets will be in tbe field next year. Tbe new constitution of Servia is said to create virtually a republic with a king at the head. All citizens of legal age who pay taxes may vote for members of tbe congress, and this body chooses a king. The next step will be to discard the hereditary feature aad elect the executive bead of the government for a limited term. A good idea occasionally comes out of Russia. The St. Petersburg City Council has offered unusual inducements to property owners to encourage the building of houses of merit, architecturally speaking. .Temporary exemption will be granted from taxation to persons who construct artistic homes, and gold medals will be awarded to architects for efforts that earn such distinction. This is a commendable attitude, and If it were practiced in American cities we might look forward more hopefully to arr improvemei t in our domestic architecture. Rev. W. II. Layton, pastor of the Central Methodist church at Kansas City, Kansas, says the condition of the flood stricken districts are infinitely worse than the outside world has been led to believe from press reports. He says, 4Only a few people have gone back to their homes. Practically every house in Armourdale, a city that once had 16,000 hard-working people, is ruined. Houses are collapsing every day. It is safe to estimate that at least 200 people were drowned. More than 1,000 small houses were washed down the river and more than 3,000 were moved from their foundations." . ANNUAL JUNE MEETING Crowds at Church Confejcncc BreAs All Previous Records. The. annual June meeting of the Church of God at Antioch was held Saturday and Sunday. The meeting has been an annual affair as far back as many people can remember and each yeajr notes a growing interest in this conference. Tbe meeting always lasts from two to three days during which time tbe best orators of the denomination arc listened to by packed houses. The beautiful groves surrounding Antioch church are filled with ideal spots for the good old-fashioned basket dinner, which is as much a part of tbe meeting as any other feature. Keyer before in years has the meeting been so well attended as it was Sunday. Tbe weather was perfect and it is conservatively estimated tbat between 3;500 aqd 4,000 persons attended the meeting. The meeting was presided over by A. H. Zilmer, president of the Indiana Conference of the Churches of God. The meeting began on Saturday at 10 o'clock a. m. Elders J. S. Hatch, of Scircleville; Wince, of Pierceton, ,and W. H. Wilson, of Chicago were the principal speakers. All of these men preached powerful sermons. - The Sunday morning sermon by Rev. A. H. Zilmer on the design of the gospel was one of Mr. Zilmer's best efforts. The closing service was conducted by Elder J. F. Wagoner, of Rochester. Subject, "The Second Coming of Christ." Christ is coming again. This was shown by 33 statements from scripture dealing directly with this subject. Christ's coming will be literal and personal. He will come to immortalize and reward his saints, whether asleep or awake, to assume tbe reins of government and to consummate God's plan of the ages. " Fortune Awaits Him. Albert Link, Jr. , is sought for very much just now. He has been left a fortune by relatives in the old country and tbe estate cannot be settled up until he is found or proof of his death obtained. He is a son of Albert Link, who lives west of Michigan City and near tbe lake. He is now about 26 years old. When a boy 14 years old he quarreled with bis father and disappeared. He was never afterwards seen or heard of and he has never written to his folks since that time. Whit It Heins." Mr. Gompers announces with a flourish that "the union principle cannot and will not be arbitrated." : Which means that when a union gets ready to boycott and blacklist nonunion men in any industry it will not submit the question to the jc.dgment of disinterested men, but rwill fight it out with bludgeons. - ; : There will have to be legislation on this sort of savagery some time and it is desirable to have the issue well understood. Chicago Chronicle.

: Good Editorial Addresses. . ; - Addresses prepared for editorial associations are generally special pleas, and seldom have much interest to those outside the profession. However, of the topics discussed by the Northern Indiana Editorial Association at Kendallville two were of notable interest and value to the public generally. The first was "The Passing of the Party Organ," by Hon. Ed A." Jernegan of the Mishawaka Enterprise. It dealt with the question of the newspaper as a party organ in the days that are past, recalling the subservience of the paper to the behest of the party and its bosses, and noting the change of temper and policy of the past few years. He traced the reasons why the newspaper as a public institution bad passed from party domination to be the mouthpiece of public opinion and the expression of public sentiment. His words were truthful, and his characterization of the improvement wrought in newspapeis and the consequent result upon the party and the public was significant and suggestive. Tbe second address to which we refer was that of Hon. John B. Stoll of the South Bend Times, entitled "Immature Thoujbts the Bane of Our Times," which was characterized by Senator Beverldge as "not only wisdom, but as true statesmanship." Mr. Stoll declared in the outset tbat many of the evils of the present were the direct result of the immature thought and its unwise expression in the press. He plead with the newspaper men to giye to the topics which they dlscusö careful add considerate examination and wise and discriminating thought, and to avoid tbe tendency, which marked a great deal of tbe newspaper wcuk in great cities, to rush into print in criticism or in laudation of . incident, policy and movement, nis worQs were wise and patriotic, and should be made the guiding star of the conscientious conductor of the newspaper. These two addresses were more specifically general in their application than any of the others, and are referred to because of more general value and interest. Elkhart Review.

Crowding the Young Mind. At a recent meeting of the homeopat bist phvsicianS at Indianapolis recently a paper was read on mental and nervous diseases, in which the author, Dr. II. Ii. Coons, of Lebanon, touched upon the danger that was being inflicted in schools by reason of the mental strain to both teacher and pupil over the cramming process, or the growing tendencv to put more studies upon tbe pupil than he could conveniently stand, or the teacher manage. ... The paper called forth a lively discussion in which nearly all the physicians present deprecated the prevailing custom in the common schools as well as in the colleges to overtax tbe mind with too many studies. It was universally acknowledged that most of tbe nervous complaints of today originated in this very way. That teachers broke down with worry and scholars collapsed in tbe effort to keep up with their classes. The discussion culminated in the appointment of a committee to investigate this matter in a thoroughly practical as well as scientific way and report at the next meeting. A New Ruling. It has been customary when the judges of our courts are disqualified In any manner to call in another judge to try the case and they have always received 15 per day for the time they put in. For this vouchers were made out which tbe county treasurer paid, and turned them in on his settlement with the slate as so much cash, as tbe state always pays all salaries of judges ot the courts. At the June settlement Treasurer Lightner turned in $45 in vouchers for extra judges in the superior court at Hammond, which were refused by tbe state treasurer on the grounds tbat there was no law for it Crown Point Star. FiUl Accidtnt it Arges. " Loren Vance, aged 20 years, was Instantly killed in Shafer's saw mill at Argos, Saturday afternoon. He was taking lumber away from the ss which in some way hurled a sliver from the log striking him In the forebead and crushing his skull. Deceased was the son of Ellas Vance, was a steady industrious young man and his sudden death cast a gloom over the entire community of that vicinity. Our Naticr.il Flag Day. The thinking American, the loyal American of mature years, needs no flag day, but the display of the national coiors for especial veneration on one day is nevertheless helpful to the older and salutary to the rising generation. It inspires the youth of the country with deeper love for the flag and what it stands for, and it reminds the older citizens of what they and their fathers did to uphold the institutions of the republic. To young and old it is a reminder of their duty to the government. Let us keep "Flag day" in memory of the glorious past, in thankfulness for the happy present, and in hope of a future grander thin either past or present. Fort Wayne Journal.

PLYMOUTH SCHOOLS

Twenty-Eighth Annual Commencement Exercises Equal to the Best Ever Given in This City. Commencement is over again. The class of 1903 have completed their work in the Plymouth schools and the "world is now all before them." Six brave, streng, young men and eight cultured, reflaed, well educated young ladies are now prepared for the battle of life and everybody in Plymouth hopes that success will crown their efforts in the world's great school and that when they are ready for the Great Commencement, they shall be as fully prepared for it as they were for their work Monday evening, and that not only the world shall say well done, but their work shall have been such that they will be welcomed Id the great high school of the 'Unseen World." All the paraphernalia and accessories of the Plymouth schools have often been described an 1 we shall emit a description of the settings of tbe stage, the decorations and the other beautiful and pleasing accessories and give a very short review of the exercises. The graduates Monday evening were JL'ontus' Cecil Snyder, Frank Watson Lineberry, James C. Sephens, Frank Samuel Southwortb, Daniel Z. Senour, Rose Belle Lauer, Ada Louemma Haag, PansieHope ness. Ruby Jeanette Gay, Elizabeth Wagner Gibson, Maude Estelle Koontz, Agnes Margaret Thomson, Eva Bae Baker, Raymond Oscar Schlosser. The grand march, by Elbel's orchestra was given at 7:45," Rev. W. W. Lineberry invoked the divine blessing in well chosen words; the high school anthem was rendered, and Frank W. Lineberry stepped forward as the first orator of the class of 1903. His subject was Successful Reforms, and his handling of it would have done credit to any college professor. He has an excellent voice and he knows how to speak so that without any roaring an audience of thousand of persons can bear what he says. He showed that the world could not have reached its present state of perfection without the successful reformers, who were often called cranks when they were doing their hardest work, but he admitted that the world might have been better if sjme of those who reformed in the wrong direction had met with less success. Unsuccessful Reforms was Miss Jean nette Gay's subject,, and It was well handled. Tbe men and women who in the face of all opposition have stood for the right with undaunted faith and courage giviog their lives if necessary for what they believed to be truth, bave been vindicated by future generations and their work has left an impress on the world greater than those who were most successful in their day and generation. Daniel Z. Senöur's subject was The Modern Man. Manhood is a growth, and for thousands of years little by little the race has been growing, increasing in knowledge. Tbe first inventions of mankind, the first few year's of man 's: existence on earth no doubt showed as great proportionate development as the wonderful developments of these wonderful twentieth century years. What now seem to us as almost nothing -were wonders when they were first produced and revolutionized the methods of their past, just as steam, electricity, modam science and the inventions of tbe present have revolutionized the meth ods of fifty years ago. The world has grown, is growing and will continue to grow. The modern man not only asks questions, but be demands that the answers given shall be proven. Agnes M. Thomson presented tbe subject of Child tabor. Her arralngment of those who blighted the life of the child and crushed all the. finer instincts, of human nature by excessive labor and deprivation called for better laws and better enforcement of the laws we have on that subject. Frank S. Southworth discussed Municipal Ownership and made a very strong, logical and convincing argument in favor of municipal ownership ot all the great auxiliaries for tbe development of cities, states and nations. He offered this as the solution of the great questions of monopolies and trusts. His address contained many thoughts worthy of the consideration of the wisest men. Woman in Industry, was the subject of the address by Miss Maud E. Koontz. She believe! that the true women of tbe present was in advance of tbe woman of the past and was as good as the woman of any generation. Woman should be man's equal; educa tion and a knowledge of the world's work will make her better; and the more places sha can fill, the more she asserts her independence and her rights, the more helpful she will be to man and the world. She declared that almost every man who had made his mark in the world had been aided by woman, and without her help would have fallen far short of accomplishing what he did. America and Japau was discussed by Miss Elizebeth W. Gibson. She com pared the two countries,, showed the conditions in Japan a few years ago r.3 compared with the present, showed

that America's success' had aroused

Japan to action, that the people of that country bad thrown off their lethargy and were exhibiting an ener gy and a desire fcr knowledge and ed ucation, a development of resources and a faculty for invention and advancement in all lines that is making them the America of Europe. The Renaissance was discussed by Miss Pansie II. Hess. This reival of education and art in the fifteenth cen tury was shown as the world's turning point, a new birth, a transition from darkness Into light, which changed the world's moral atmosphere and was the dawn of the present era of advancement and intelligence, tbe foundation jf all tbat Is now purest, best and best calculated to improve mankind. Her subject was well handled . Montus C. Snyder discussed tbe Evils of War. He contended that war had done more to retard the progress of mankind and keep the world in darkness than any other agency, It destroyed and deteriorated the best men of the world, retarded education and the development of all the best lines of thought and Improvement; was barbaric in Its tendencies and should never be entered into except to preserve tbe liberties and dearest rights of mankind. Miss Rose Belle Lauer 's subject was The Theater. It was a plea for the drama The theater should be the evolution of the soul, the agency which would make all men and women better. The drama is instinctively demanded by everybody. It is a picture of human life and if society will make the theater what it should be it will become one of the world's most potent agencies for making people better Mohammed, was Raymond O. Schlosser's subject, and his presentation of the character of Mohammed showed a thorough study of the life of this wonderful man and that the religion which he taught was far in advance of the idolatry and heathenish practices ot tbe Arabs and tbe people of other oriental countries previous to the time of. thi man who taught that "There is one God and Mohammed is His prophet." Miss Ada L. Haag argued in favor of Higher Education for Girls. She showed that education must benefit everyone. Knowledge is power knowledge of the right kind always makes everyone better and better prepared for the duties of life. The higher education of girls will make tbem better daughters, wives and mothers, better agencies in all that uplifts mankind and makes the world better. Absolution was the subject of the address by James C. Stephens. Right will make might, will make the ideal government of nations as well as the ideal ffovernment of home. Men should stand for the right regardless of consequences. The address was replete with deep thought and lofty sentiment and was well received by the audience. The closing oration, Thought Tower, was one of the best of all. It was delivered by Miss Eva B. Baker and showed a thorough study of tbe powers of tbe mind and the action and effect of mind on mind. Thought power rules the world. Thoughts have long been communicated by vocal sounds or written characters, but just as Marconi's wireless telegraphy shows that all sounds are registered in vibrations of the atmosphere, it is probable that all thought of 'kindred minds may yet be communicated from mind to mind without regard to distance. If this Is a positive accomplishment fifty years hence it will not be more wonderful than vhat has been accomplished In the past fifty years. - .The orations were all excellent and were delivered without any hesitancy and in a manner that , made them all effective. In this respect' the class of 1903 excelled any other large class that has graduated from the Plymouth schools. It is certainly a fine class, a class of which Superintendent Chase may well feel proud in closing thirty-four years of work at the bead of the Plymouth schools. He can point to the work of the past three years and especially to the work of tne past year, as among the best of his life. Prof. Redd presented the class and Dr. Borton, president of the school board, presented the diplomas in a few well-chosen words. The old class song was sung and the awardal of honors was made by Superintendent Chase, who stated tbat in a competitive examination, Miss Ruby Jeanette Gay had been designated for honorable mention and tbe honors awarded to Mr. Montus C. Snyder. In a brief, but characteristic and effective speech, Superintendent Chase thanked the audience for their attention and evident interest in the exercises of the evening and expressed his heartfelt thanks for the attendance of so many of the alumni from all parts of the country. The chorus song and quartet, "Serenade," were given, the valedictory was spoken by Mr. Snyder, Superintendent Chase said goodnight and the event of the fjveuing had passed into history. There was promptness and executive ability manifested during the entire evening, there were no lonsry tire

some speeches or foolishness to mar the effect of the exercises at the close. The music was excellent, both vocal and instrumental and there was not too much of it. Taken all in all it was the ideal commencement of the Plymouth schools.

Alumni Reunicn. The seventh annual reunion of the Plymouth High School alumni was held in the Washington school auditorium Tuesday evening. A splendid banquet was enjoyed by all and there was an interesting musical, literary and social program. The introduction was by tbe president, Ronald M, Thomson. This was followed by Hiller's May Song and other . fine selections. Among the singers and accompanists were Mesdames Ethel Bell, Edna Corbabley; Maude Houghton, Anna Porter, Misses Gail North, Geneva McCrory, Mary Hoham and Messrs. K. F. Brooke, Daniel Senour and Otto J. Stahl. Toasts were responded to by Gideon W. Blain, Frank Thomas and Daniel Senour. A paper read by Miss Emma Holem of the class of '98 was replete with reminiscences of school days and was amusing interesting and instructive. Ernest Bortoa sent a letter of regrets and a letter was also read from James M. Confer, who is now with Uncle ' Sam's navy somewhere in Egypt. Near the close of the exercises Prof. Chase was presented with a loving cup as a slight token of the esteem in which he is held by those who were his pupils during so many years. George II. Thayer made the presentation speech in well chosen language and the reply of Prof. Chase showed that he was deeply affected and fully appreciated the confidence and esteem of his pupils. Mark Hanna's Ancestors. The old residents of Lisbon, Ohio, remember Mark nanna as a leader in the .con tests that took place in his youthful days, and perhaps he might tell us that the taaining was of value to him in more recent struggles. He was brawny and bold, they say, aud a very 'stubborn boy. In biographies they call it tenacious of purpose, determined to have his way. a habit he has never corrected. The Ilannas were conspicuous and influential in the affairs of Columbian County. The local historian tells us that they wert descended from Patrick Hannay which ought to give the senator a claim on the Irish vote and in 1764 Thomas Ilanna sailed lrom England with Benjamin Franklin, enticed by that philosopher's description and predictions of the colonies- About a year after his arrival Thomas Hanna died, leaving two sons, Robert and Thomas. The former married and removed to Virginia, assisting John Lynch to lay out the town of Lynchburg and in 1801, with bis wife and nine children, in a Cones toga wagon, be came west to this county and established a tavern where two of the highways cross He became interested in politics, was elected township trustee, while his son Benjamin was clerk and treasurer of the county. Rats in North Township. Jobn Silvius, Harrison Gillan, John Snyder, Lew Trowbridgs, Mich Carothers, Jim Gillian and Pendleton Sbafer.were playing at Gil Carother's barn last Sunday, and tbey soon discovered that there were some big rats around tbe barn. The boy spirit of investigation was aroused and tbey proceeded to take up a part of the barn floor and remove loose planks wherever they could do so. With the aid of Mr. Carother's dog tbey succeeded in killing 108 rats in less than two hours, and they did not think it was a good day for rats when they went there. IN PLYMOUTH. Every Claim is Backed by Local Testimony. If the reader wants stronger proof than tbe following statement and experience of a resident of Plymouth, what can it be? Samuel Riggens, section foreman on the Pittsburg R. R., living in the last house on Miner street, says: "When 1 first noticed kidney complaint some - years ago the attacks were mild, but as time passed they became of longer duration and were more acute until about a year ago when they forced me to stop work and go to bed for three weeks. I knew from the action of the kidney secretions which were highly colored and contained sediment and from their frequency particularly at night that took my kidneys was to be attributed the whole cause of the disturbance. That combined .with severe pain across the loins which prevented me from stooping or doing anything with an average degree of ease, . led me to consult a doctor, ne told me I was verging on Bright's disease. Things ran along like this for tho last few months until I sent Mrs. Rfggins to J. E. Garwood's drug store for Doan's Kidney Pills. The treatment positively stopped too frequent action of the kidney 'secretions and tided me over the last attack of backache." For sale by all dealers. Prices 50 cents.

Edward H. Soke. A telegram was received in this city Tuesday afternoon announcing the death of Edward II. Soice. He died In Quincy, 111., of pneumonia Tuesday, June 16, aged 41 years, 7 months and 3 days. Undertaker Leonard went to Quincy for the remains and they arrived here at 3:05 this morning.

Soice Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. More Than Education Needed. It is a wonder that some astute negro in the south does not turn on those who claim that, only years of education and mental enlightenment will ever work the full emancipation of the negro, and point with scorn to the records of tbe white man in politics and public life. It is surprising that some shrewd, politically ambitious negro does not point to St. Louis and Philadelphia and New York, and enforce the folly of the argument by showing that the higher the claim to education the more public morals are violated, the more public trust is abused, the mjre puMic funds are misappropriated. The lessons which this shrewd nesrro might enforce to the discomfiture of his white critics might well be that education alone does not lit men for the duties of citizenship, but that it must be supplemented by a development of all the attributes of humanity conscience, skill, wisdom and recognition of all the rights that lie inherent in man's relation to man. ne might will tell his white brother that education little more than the ballot, unless balanced by other qualities, will not lift the negro into the place that all citizens or this republic should occupy.
