Entered at the postoffice at Plymouth, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. , Plymouth, Ind., February 11, 1904. President Roosevelt is so fond of children that he will be glad to bave Oklahoma and tbe Indian Territory come in as twins. Everybody except a few senators Is satisfied with the fifty years ol talk on the isthmian canal and ready to say: "Let us dig." By licensing the carrying of conceal ed weapons Kentucky has struck a an ingenious plan of requiring each citizen to bear his full share of the burdens of government. Out of 700,000 voters ir, Texas it is believed that only 550,000 will make good their right tu vote by paying 91.75 poll tax. Isn't prosperity doing business down there? The best use. to which the republicans can put a patronage huckster is to Induce him to abuse the party, which he is sure to do the moment he fails to get the offices he demands. Mr. Watterson is not only opposed to the candidacy of Mr. Hearst for President, but carries his vindictiveness so far that he will not even refer to him as an esteemed contemporary." ; In the report of extra cold weather in St. Louis, the other day, the dispatch stated that all workmen at tbe exposition grounds stopped (working with the exception of the Japanese. That Is the fort of spirit that Russia has to look out for. The South is enjoying unwonted prosperity at present in the shape of lue constantly Increasing price of cotton. The staple production of that portion of the country has gone up 17 cents in the scale lately and those who bave cotton to sell are right in tbe swim; Really the south is not caring for a change of administration just now. m The lion. Arthur Poe Gorman will see U. it that there is a plank in tbe next democratic national platform de teaoding popular election of senators. lie has been busily engaged lately in taking tbe job of nam lüg a colleague for himself off the hands even of tbe Maryland democratic legislative caucus, bis candidate for the seat being -the most prominent corporation attorney in the state. In discussing tbe war cloud In tbe Orient every one, almost, f peaks of little Japan. But she is not little. In area she is much bigger than the United Kingdom of Great Britian, and she has a population half as great as that of the big United States of America. For these reasons Russia is temporizing. She knows tbe magnitude of the job before her if the clash of arms comes. The Imports of the United States for 1903 aggregated in value a billion dollars, being $26,000,000 above the highest mark previously reached. Tbe exports amounted to $1,484.668,127, nearly twenty- millions greater than the total for any preceeding year. Our internal trade reached thirty billions. It is this condition of alTairs that democratic leadership vould have us tum for another chase after the markets of the world lfke that of 1893-4-5, which, it will be rexaembered, had its finish in the soupbouse. Senator Hanna's condition of health seems to be quite precarious. He bas not been a well man for several years and his burden of official and business cares, together with the strain of the last campaign In Ohio has brought him ddwn to an enfeebled state, which alarms bis friends. It is said that bis physicians decided that his , only chance of recovery from the effects of recent attacks of the grip is a "change of climate and absolute rest for several months. It is feared that Senator Hanna will not b3 in condition to take part, in the coming presidential campaign either as head of the national committee or on the stump-owing to hi3 falling health.

Though still indefinite, reciprocity has moved along far enough to land In the democratic camp.

Colombia seems determined to.addpt the Spanish plan of saving its national integrity by figbtiDg. Woody Dell Reed says boodling Is not an issue in Missouri, and that is the sort of governor be would make. The Cincinnati Enquirer furnishes a certificate of character for the Hon. William Randolph Hearst. Now will some one furnish a similar certificate for the said Enquirer? Someone claims to have discovered a method of bleaching black babies to snowy whiteness. If this scheme proves to be successful, what will the Solid South do for a paramount issue? The Memphis Commercial-Appeal says, in speaking of President McKinley, that he was the best friend the South had in the republican party." Tbe trouble with the South Is that it never recognizes its best friends until after they are dead. There is grave danger that tbe selfconstituted reorganizes of the democratic party may go to all tbe trouble of selecting delegates to the St. Louis convention only to have them swept off on the crest of a rhetorical wave by some perfervid declaimer of the cross-of-gold, crown-of-thorn schoolof statesmanship. New York republicans are fully in line for Roosevelt and will instruct for him in the state convention. It is likely the delegates at large to tbe national convention will be Gov. Odell, Senators Piatt and Depew, and exGuv. Black. The latter will probabiy be designated to present Roosevelt's name to the convention. It is not what Mr. Bryan says or does that worries the sort of democratic leadership that wants worst of all to win, but the consciousness that he represents the sentiment of a section of the party large enough to insure democratic defeat if it is disappointed in the candidate nominated and tbe platform framed at St. Louis. Democratic State Chairman O'Brien announced Thursday that tte democrats had filed a third suit contesting the constitutionality of the apportionment act of 1903. This suit was tiled in Ripley county. When asked the lobject of bringing further suits when the two circuit judges had already decided in favor of the democratic contention and tbe cases were now en route to tbe Supreme Court, be explaiined by saying that in Ripley county the apportionment could be attacked on slightly different grounds, and the democrats purposed to overlook no chance for knocking out the act. The South Bend Times iatfmates that in the e? ent of non. C. W. Fairbanks acceptijg the nomination for vice-president with Roosevelt, Chas. W. Miller, Attorney General might be an aspirant for Senator Fairbanks' seat. Mr. Miller is an able lawyer, a most estimable gentleman and certain ly well qualified for the position. Mr. Miller bas a host of friends in Mar shall county, and the 13th Congressional district can be depended upon for Charley Miller for anything be wants. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. Louis Ludlow, tbe Washington cor respondent of the Indianapolis Star says: Senator Beveridge 's first choice for the vice-presidential nomination is Senator Fairbanks. If Mr. Fairbanks concludes not to run Senator Beveridge's next choice is Governor Durbin. Mr. Beveridge does not desire to be placed in the attitude of championing bis senior colleague for something tbe latter does not want, but if Mr. Fairbanks really bas a desire to o on the national ticket, as now seems certain. he will find no more loyal and entbu slastic supporter than Senator Bever idge. ,'. There are signs that all of the Re publican members of Congress will pull together to advance Mr. Fair bank's interests in this direction. Ilarry S. New, Indiana's member of the national committee, thinks Sen ator Fairbanks would be unwilling to accept the vice-presidential nomination if It came to him with any semblance of solicitation on the part of his friends. Mr. I?ew says: "I believe that if the nomination for the vice-presidency

came to Senator Fairbanks without any semblance of solicitation on the part of his friends be would accept it. "The people of Indiana would like to see Fairbanks on the ticket and believe his name would add strength to it." 2Xr. Sew is in Indianapolis to meet other members of tbe subcommittee of the Republican national committee regarding the plans for the convention. Sound TalK on Lynching. A recent Issue of tbe Charleston News and Courier contains a well-considered and fearlessly written article

on the question of lynchings. What it says is applicable to lawlessness and to lynchings everywhere, North as well as South, and not regarding tbe question whether the lawlessness or tbe lynchings are few or many in number. Insisting that tbe mob must be suppressed, or that a confes sion of failure of American civilization must be made, the News and Courier says: It Is unlawful now to put a man to death in tbe state without due process of law, and whether the person Is killed by an Individual or by a number of individuals tbe crime is murder and ought to be punished as murder. That is tbe plain truth, plainly stated. It Is a truth applicable to temporizings with the law and appli cable to tbe conduct of too many sen timental juries and hair-splittiDg courts. The mob and civilization can not continue to exist In one and the same community, for the mob is but the active expression . of anarchy. Neither can civilization exist where any one class attempts to dictate what shall or what shall not be done, or where courts and juries fail to rise to the demands of strict and impartial justice. The sign given by the News and Courier is most wholesome, but South Carolina and every community must learn the lesson of punishment of murderers in the individual as well as murderers in the .mob. When an unarmed man can be shot down on tbe streets of the capital of a state, as Gonzales was shot down, and when the slayer can go acquit, as Tillman went acquit, there will always be found some sort of excuses for muls, while the last excuse for the mob will vanish when Justice sits blindfold in the tribunals, and is swayed neither by passion nor by position. And that is applicable to Illinois as well as to South Carolina, to Massachusetts as well as to Louisiana. In fact, it is applicable in every state. A Backward Step. Kentucky is even taking a more backward step in the matter of negro education than its sister southern state of Mississippi by the passage of a law by ber legislature actually pro hibiting tbe education of tbe negro. It is said the effect of uis law will close one of tbe famous colored insti tutions of learning in the country, Berea college, endowed by northern philanthropists for the purpose of elevating the negro race through the means of higher education. Miss Helen Gould is a contributor toward this endowment fund to tbe extent of $5,000. Kentucky is one of the states of the union in greatest need of educational and civilizing influences, for in no other does so much ignorance dwell among. the masses, nor in any other is so much lawlessness extant. Ken tucky goes away back in the procession by this last act of ber legislature in depriving her people of educational privileges. Gov. Beckham is said to be tbe leader of this sentiment to deprive the negro of an opportunity to get an education in Kentucky, as Gov. Vardaman is In Mississippi, and tbe two may be classed with tbe mossbacks who would block the wheels of progress ar.i keep the south traveling along in the same old rut it was in before the war. South' Bend Tribune. Coldest in Ten Years. The meteorological report of the weather bureau for last month shows that the mean temperature fur January was 22, which was lower than tbe mean temperature of any January sjnoe 1893, when there was a mean of 18, The mean for the last thirtythree Janu&rfes was 28. The highest temperature last month was 50, cn the 20 tii ; the lowest was 7 below zero, on tbe 27tb; tbe greatest daily average was so degrees, on tbe 19th and the least daily range was 5 degrees, on the 21st. The total precipitation for the month was 3.87 inches greater than for any other January since 1898, when the total precipitation Was 4.93 Inches. The average precipitation for the last thirty-three Januaries was 2.86 inches. The number of clear days during last month was 11; partly cloudy days 7, and cloudy days, 13.. A Debt Paying Prty. In ten years of Republican ad minis tratlon the state debt of Indiana has been reduced from $7,43C;615 to $1, 6S8.615. It Is expected that the debt will be wiped out In two years. It pays to keep the republican party in power. Noblesyille Ledjer.

The Model Republic

Pursuing an even tenor, at peace with itself and all the world, making no great stir in the struggle of nations for supremacy, sandwiched' In among striving monarchies of tbe eastern hemisphere, Is Switzerland, known as the model republic. It aspires lo no greatness, seeks no conquest, has no rivalries and gets along 'fith as little friction, do doubt, as any other country on the globe. It is made up of a hardy, industrious, intelligent, peace-loving people and in many respects is a pattern for all other republics to copyfrom. Switzerland in the first place has a good political system, It Is never rent by political disturbances. Though it changes a president every year there are no yearly political campaigns to stir the land from center to circumference. The government is in the hands of a federal council and this body chooses a president and vicepresident. The former has few executive powers, and is simply a presiding officer for the federal council. The vice-president is purely an honorary officer and ail he bas to do is to wait bis turn to step into the presidency when th3 year rolls round. In this way tbe country is spared the bickerings and backbitings and face-s'appiojjs and nose-knockings common to the United States every four years. Why would it not be weil for this strenuous republic of the United States to imitate Switzerland at least in one respect, make the president ineligible to a second term, and improve upon tbe Swiss republic in another respect by extending tbe term of a president to six years, as according to our system we must now have a political tempest all over the land every few years. It would be much better did it come but every half dozen years and then have a new man at the helm every time. Either that, or let us follow the example of Mexico and fix it so that when we get a good man for president keep him there for life. In France a he is elected every seven years all is said and done, though, there may be defects in the United States political system, whers 's the republic or any other nation on the globe that has made such rapid progress in the march of civilization within the little more than a century of years our country has been in existence? South Bend Tribune. Terms of County and Judicial Officers Cannot Be Extended by Legislature. Addison C. Harris, of Indianapolis at the request of James. P, Goodrich, chairman of tbe republican state commute, bas prepared an opinion on the constitutionality of tbe law passed by tbe legislature of 1903 extending the terms of certain county and judicial offices so that tbe terms of all such of fices shall begin upon the same day and uniformity thereby be secured. Mr. Harris holds tbe law to be un constitutional, and suggests that iu all counties the nominations be made as usual this year. The law affects different offices in diffei ent counties. In Marshall county it gives the county treasurer Wni. O'Keefe an ex tension of one year. County Clerk Jones and Auditor Singrey who are serving their first terms may not be effected by this opinion of Mr. Harris. County officers will be nominated this year the same as if no law lentbening the terms of offices had been passed. Then a friendly suit will be instituted, and the case will be carried tp the supreme court for a final decision at the earliest possible moment. Peanuts Cause Death. It is supposed that peanuts were the cause in an Indirect way, of the death of little Muriel Tank, the adop ted child of Wm. Tank of Walkerton who died Thursday morning. Tuesday while f;he was eating peanuts one caught in her wlnd-pipe which caused considerable coughing. Wednesday morning it was necessary to call a physician. Tbe exact location of the peanut could not be found so it was Impossible to perform an operatioa. All day Wednesday her breathing was heavy. Thursday morning she asked to get up she was helped up and walk ed over to her mother and died very peacefully in her mother's arms. Physicians think heart failure was the direct cause of ber death brought on by the peanut in tbe wind-pipe caus ing a poisoning of the. blood. The funeral took place Saturday afternoon at 1:30. Prosperity is Prevalent, O, yes; there is still a little prosper ity on tap in the country even if the pessimists can't see it and howl about the way we are plunging into eternal ruin with our republican president and republican laws. The head of a local firm told us the other day that his firm did $3,600 more business this year than last and that last year was $3,500 ahead of the year before. When things in a business way, look like this most men are willing to 'stand pat" and let well enough alone." Cannelton Enquirer. Mrs. C..H. Jennings, Boston "Our babies (twins), were sickly.
