The old idea of the country, editor was that be was a sort of public mendicant, eking out a precarious existence through the good-natured tolerance of the community. If there was ever justification fortbat kind of a conception of the local newspaper business it has long since passed away. It is doubtful if any single business or profession in Indiana could bare mustered a gathering of more representative, intelligent, prosperous-looking business men than assembled at. Indianapolis recently on the occasion of the annual convention of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association. The country newspaper nut only stands on its own bottom as a commercial enterprise in tbese days, rendering to the community in which it is published vastly greater service than it ever expects to be paid for, but tbe editors and publishers of these papers exercise a greater influence upon tbe life and tbe tendene'es of the state than any other body of men of similar size engaged in a .single line of endeavor in Indiana. The man who belittles the influence of the conscientiously coodieted newspaper in these times is engaged in employment about as intelligent as that of trying to snub a cyclone. A story comes from Hamilton, O., which, if true, is about the most coldblooded affair that has fallen under our notice. It is stated that a man by the name of John Moore, a deputy marshal of Oxford, O., secured the services of Sheriff Davis of Greensburg, Ind., and pursued Mr. and Mrs. Frank Deilks to Mt. Carmel, Ind., where they were found housed in a log cabin in the woods, protecting themselves and their children from the extreme cold. These so-called officers, without; warrant, arrested Deilk and bis wife on a charge of forfeiting a bond in Ohio, where they were charged with petit larcency for stealing coal to keep them warm. The deputy marshal from Oxford and the sheriff from Greensburg loaded Deilk and his wife and four of their children in a wagon, leaving two children in the cabin, the oldest one a boy dangerously sick and no one to care for him except a younger brother. These officers say their wagon was not large enough to hold all their children, and so they left the sick boy and his little brother in a lonely cabin in tbe woods. Such cruel conduct as this deserves punishment and it is not unlikely that the grand jury will pay its respects to the deputy marshal from Ohio and bis valiant aid from Greensburg. Cruelty to dumb brutes even is punishable at law. Indianapolis Sentinel. , True Republicanism is character ized by a spirit of tolerance. But for tbe exercise of this spirit the Republl can party would have wrecked long ago by reason of the clashing of di vergent individual opinions and Individ jal ambitions. This spirit of tolerance should find its best expression in the columns of the republican press, and that best expression is not editorial abuse of republicans whose ambitions or whose opinions do not happen to have the approval of tbe paper indulging in censure. . .The ... . , means are provided whereby, in due season, party doctrines are enunciated and party candidates selected. Meanwhile the individual republican has a right to his own views- and his own aspirations. Tbe right to champion individual opinions on tbe part of the patty newspaper is unquestioned, the right to deny the same privelege . to others does not exist, and tbe effort to exercise it Is uniepublican. "When conventions have spoken there is tim enough for heresy trials. Republicans have before them a object lesson in the present state of the democratic party ol the results of intolerant and abusive Internal dissensions, largely led by factional newspapers It Is well to remember that the time always comes when a party needs the support of all its elements, and the policy of proscription does not create that unity in a political organization which 13 crrcntioi to ssccccs.

It seems to be thoroughly understood now that there will be no opposition to the nomination of President Roosevelt on the republican ticket as his own successor in the executive office, and also that Seaator Fairbanks, of this state, will be the nominee for vice-president on the same ticket. Ha certainly can have this honor if he will but say the word that he will accept it. South Bend Tribune.

The senate of the United States should not be satisfied with technical acquittal of auy member of that body of the charge of bribery, but should conduct a thorough investigation of the facts at issue on its own account, concluding with the vindication or the expulsion of the member accused. Tbe people are behind the president In his sincere desire to purge the public service of every "grafter," and they will be bebind congress in a determination to rid Itself of any official who has prostituted a public trust for private gain. Democratic newspapers which have been preaching unreasoning social discontent, which have been railing against tne existing order six or seven days a week for several years, and which by it all have, disseminated more communism than patriotism during tbe past decade, need not hold up their hands in holy horror over the candidacy of William R. Hearst for the democratic presidential nomination. Hearstism is the natural flower and fruitage of the perpetual propaganda of discontent n6t a pretty product, but a perfectly legitimate, one. He represents tbe ultimate goal of the democratic drift of the past decade, whether bis nomination comes now or is postponed for four or eight years. A Faithful and Efficient State Senator. The Hon. John W. Parks, of Plymouth, who served as joint senator from the district composed of the counties of Kosciusko and Marshall, during the two last sessions of the Indiana legislature is a candidate for renonii nation. Mr. Parks was one of tbe ablest, most influential as well as one' of the most conscientious and hard working senators in the legislature. His renomination and re-election would be a worthily bestowed compliment and would be a guarantee that no senatorial district in the state would be more creditably represented In the two next sessions of the Indiana general assembly. Senator Parks is tbe embodiment of honor and stands for all that is good, pure, noble and elevating. It would be a commendable, magnanimous act upon tbe part of Kosciusko county to concede to Senator Parks a renomination. Columbia City Daily Commercial. Our Share of Trade. The year 1903 reached high water mark in the volume and value of the commerce of the world. An old adage declares that "It is a wise man who holds his dish right side up when it rains porridge," says the New York Sun. The merchants and manufacturers of this country may rest assured that the comi ng years will show an ever - increasing rain of orders falling into somebody's order books, and it is for them to see that their order books are where some of the orders can be caught. A certain amount of foreign trade will come to us in any event by reason of the world's needs. But no merchant and no manufacturer can today hope to get any valuable share of tbe world's commerce by sitting in his office in an expectant attitude. Today, we may only wish more foreign trade. Before many days we shall assuredly need it, if we are to maintain our national prosperity. Permanent and profitable foreign trade is not to be commanded on short notice. The field requires a careful preparation, and it behooves our people to make diligent preparation for the days that are in the future. ; Our myriads of wheels will not be turned by the orders that come to us unsought. Indianapolis Star. Statement From City, Board of Health. Considering the fact that there is a misconception concerning the.' prevalence of small pox in Plymouth by the people In general and outside the city in particular. We, the city board of health concluded to publish the exact facts in the case: We have now under quarrantine five families and two of them will soon be ready to dismiss. In tbe main tbey are not sick at all, not one in six requiring a dose of medicine. There is not a particle of danger to contagion by any one doing any and all kinds of legitimate business In the city. Tbe schools are running in all the rooms and churches and Sunday schools open every Sunday and no danger for contagion in either. City Board Of helaltii. C. A.

An Interview With a Prominent South Bend .''.--.. , , Politician. - Mr. John W. Talbot, a member of South Bend's leading firm of criminal lawyers and a democratic campaigner of prominence has been in Plymouth in connection with court business. A reporter of tbe Tribune had the following chat with him: "What are tbe political prospects in your county Mr. Talbot"?" "If we are given a democratic candidate we will win this coming fall. " "How do your people feel about the

silver question?" Just as they do about tbe gold, radium and platinum questions. They feel there is no silver question. Tbe only question is, are we and should we be governed by men or money? Its clink of the dollar aerainst the music of the sledge. We are going at them with the "slogan of Tom nendricks, turn the rascals out." Who nie your people for?" Our people are divided, the republican politicians' are for Roosevelt. Even Congressman Brick is for Roose velt. The men who refused to vote for Bryan and who for eight years have been giving us advice, don't knew what they are for. All they can do is abuse democracy aud take whatever the bartender gives them. Democrats generally up there are for Hearst. I can't speak for labor, but recently a member of the Central Labor Union told me that his people were for Hearst. Hearst has the democracy of St. Joseph County with him. A not inconsiderable source of his strength is the fact that some men, and among them newspaper men who are not republicans and who are not democrats call him names and go frantic because he costs them circulation. Hearst stands for progress, he is for virtue and morality, a successfuljbusiness man, a sober, clear and able citizen, practically charitable ana politically strong. Hearst is a platform and candidate, a winner." By the way tats not talk any more politics. You bave the finest lot of people in Plymouth that live on this earth and that is true of all of them Party lines do not differentiate be tween good and bad citizenship. Your city Is steadily improving and yi.ur people know how to shake hands. Have a cigar?" The Boy s Lament. They cut pa's trousers down for me I don't get nothing new; I have to wear his old coat out; his old suspenders too! His bat and shoes don't fit me yet. but I s'spuse they will some day. And then they'll come to me instead of being thrown away.' My si iter Grace is twenty-two and she evi sJng and play! And what she wears is always new not stuff that is throw 'd away. She puts on style, I tell you what! She dresses out of sight! She's got a beau that comes to see her most every other night. I never get new things to wear; I'm just a boy you see. And aay old thing is good enough for me. Most everything tbat I've -got on one day belonged to pa. When cister's through with her fine things she hands 'era up to ma. Ex. Special Meeting. The city council together with the county and city boards of health held a special meeting in tbe city hall Saturday evening for the purpose of formulating measures to stamp out small pox in this city and county. Mayor Knott was authorized to appoint a special policeman to see that a perfect quarrantine is maintained. Joseph Glass was appointed. The mayor was .authorized to purchase vaccine points fcr all who cannot afford to pay for them. Heroic measures cannot be taken to soon. If a strict quarantine had been maintained and proper precautions taken last fall there would be no smallpox in Plymouth now. A Good Confession. A bright young lawyer In a south ern Indiana city defended a negro in the police court.' The charge was chicken stealing. A fair defense was offered and things, looked promising for the accused until the lawyer placed him on the stand. , Are you the defendant . in . this case?" said the judge, is the negro mounted, the', steps of the witness stand. ,"No, sir," replied the negro. . with an amazed look on bis face and pointing to his counsel.. I'm the one that stole the chickens; there's the defendant.". Mrs.Pcter Richards Surprise d. Mrs. Peter Richard, who, with her husband resides on the coner of Miner and William street l.i this city, was 60 years old today. She was born in Green township, has resided in Marshall county all her life and is the mother of ten children, all married, and she has 26 grand-children, ner children and their families completely surprised her today by coming home, giying her a big dinner and having an old fashioned familyjreunlon. It was a joyous occasion and a complete surprise to Mrs. Richard who had made no preparations for a birthday celebration.

Exposing A Fraud. "Our readers may remember," says the Hickory Ridge Missouri an, In its latest issue. -"that we called attention several weeks ago to a remarkable ear of corn brought to this office by. Uncle Hod Arkwiight, of his own raising, and measuring over eighteen inches in length. We said it was the biggest thing in tbe corn line ever turned out in this country, and offered to bet a double barreled shotgun on it. Feed got a' little scarce at our house the other day, and we had to fall back on that ear of corn. There is nothing better in tbe world for nutriment than parched corn, and we figured tbat there was enough on that one ear to make two square meals, anyhow. We sneaked it home, took it out in the kitchen, and shelled it. There was something that looked suspicious about the cob, and we examined it. Right in the middle was a joint. We pulled at each end, and the blamed cob came apart. It was two cobs, held together by a small

hickory stick, whittled to fit, and run ning pretty near the whole length of each cob. Uncle Hod bad picked out two long ears that matched all right, and bad trimmed an end off each and spliced them. .Ve consider that he plaved a darL? mean trick on us. We had bragged on that ear of corn and showed it to more than 500 people. Every exchange we've got had something to say about it, and one of the St. Louis papers said it was either the biggest ear of corn or the biggest lieever grown in Missouri. It done more to advertise IUcirory Ridge than anything that ever happened here, except when Tbornt Vennaman shot Ab YatUes for poisoning his dog. in 1887. Uncle Hod ArKwright thought he was playing a gcod oke on us. He has had his fun out of it, we reckon, but it's mighty dog-goned mean fun. It's made us the laughing stock of tbe whole country, and if we don't get even with him some day our name ain't Andrew Jackson Kipp." A Novel Purchase. A prominent lady of our town made a record breaking purchase a few days ago. Entering a well known store she offered to buy a package of breakfast food ifthe proprietor would give her one of the Maltese cats that were around the store. He agreed and also furriished a box to put the cat in, and very accomodatingly put the cat and breakfast food in the sleigh for her. Arriving home she found that poor kittie had been dead for several days and she threatens to take it back on the grounds that the goods were not as represented, County Commissioners Meet. Tbe county om missioners met in regular session yesterday. After tjie regular business was transacted a meeting of the township trustees was called to distuss tbe small pox question. At present there are cases of small pox in three townships, West, Center and Union. The commissioners instructed the trustees, in case thore are any persons in their township who cannot afford to pay for vaccination to have them vaccinated and the bill will be allowed at tne next meeting of commissioners. . A Question of Flour. Every family uses more or less flour but a large number are not getting the full value of their . money in return iu both quality and quantity of bread they make from the flour they use. Now Piilsbury's Best Flour will make more bread than a great many other flours and much better bread too. You will get from four fx seven more loaves from a sack of Piilsbury's Best Flour than from a sack of ord.'nary flour. It is and has been for yeirs the standard of all spring wheat flowers. If you are not using Piilsbury's Best Flour try a sack and you will be convinced that these statements are facts. Bread made from Piilsbury's Best Flour retains its moisture and does not dry out. A test will prove it. - 18t8 Card of Thanks.
