The little island empire is giving the world a good many surprises. If Thomas Taggart thinks he has suppressed Bryanism in Indiana he will wake up some of these stormy mornings to find himself badly mistaken. If the Czar declares war against China it is to be hoped, for the honor of the Bussian name, that he will make it more of the real thing than he Is waging against Japan. The battle over the division of the property of the Northern Securities Company, begun in the federal courts in St. Paul, is one of the greatest fights by prominent corporation lawyers ever waged in the country. News comes from the far East telling of the threatening attitude of General Ma.on the Manchurian frontier, fully confirming Bussian information regarding the unfriendly attitude of China, in spite of the official declarations cf neutrality. The Mormon church, having been driven into a corner by the publicity of the Smoot case, is compelled to do something to make a showing. The bead of the church has issued a manifesto prohibiting the practice of polygamy. This is the second time In the t history of the Mormon church that it has done the same thing. This second bluff will not deceive anybody. The trial, conviction and sentence cf United States Senator John B. Burton, of Kansas, disprove the assertion, so often made, that rascals in high circles escape punishment. Burton is not only fined heavily, but must also go to jail where he belongs. His expulsion from the senate ought not to be delayed if he doesn't have the decency to resign before action is taken. South Bend Times. Democrats in every section of country are clamoring for a short national platform. The Whigs in 1848 nominated and elected General Zachary Taylor without a platform. But the TVbigs pointed to General Taylor and their previous record as a guarantee of a good administration. - Democrats have no man to whom they can point with particular pride and their record must be forgotten before they have any chance cf success. Although Japan has a war on her hands that U drawing heavily on her treasury, she has ordered two new battleships in England, which will probably be the most powerful afioaj;.

Mr. Cleveland favors a short platform. How would this do: "We repudiate everything to which we pointed with pride in 1696 and 1900."

The idea of making a man a presidential candidate simply because he has never done or said anything for the party is a new one, but up to date, this is all that has been offered in favor of the nomination of Judge Parker, and the evidence seems to be all in. King Christian of Denmark, who has just celebrated his eighty-sixth birthday, is the oldest monarch in Europe, ne is also the father-in-law to more royal houses than any other living monarch. No other ruler is so healthy, so prosperous, so loved or so happy. It seems that the condition of the democratic party is such that no man in it. who has a record is available as a candidate for president. It is no wonder that the young men and many older members of the rank and file of the party are disgusted and beginning to look elsewhere for a political home. Ex-Congressman C. G, Conn has purchased Governor Durbin's interest in the Elkhart Power Company, organized by Walter Brown, and which was intended to absorb two local hydraulic companies in which Conn held stock. Mr. Conti is now in control of the entire project, and he proposes to invest $1,000.000 in an electric plant. The question that some democratic politicians are now discussing is whether Judge Parker was benefited or damaged by Grover Cleveland's recent declaration in his (Parker's) favor. Some say good has been accomplished by it, while others contend that Judge Parker's chances have been dßoiaged to the extent of 25 per cent. WhenBritish exports InCanada rose from $43,000,000 in 1901 to $49,000,000 in 1902 the increase was hailed with joy as a triumph of the preferential policy; yet last year' in the face of a hostile preference. America exports to Canada increased more than three times as much as British exports gained in the year in question That the courage of the handful of fndianians who declare themselves in favor of William Randolph Hearst's candidacy for the presidential nomin ation mav not wane, weaken and disappear entirely, S. S. Carvalhoof New York, has been sent to Indianapolis for the avowed purpose of preparing for the establishment of a Hearst newspapei in that city. Men go to the Klondike for gold; they endure privations in the wilds of the West; they range the plains of the Southwest and exile themselves from civilization all for the sake of the almighty dollar. The man who plocls away at his trade or profession, making allving for his family, and in vesting his surplus where he will get the largest and quickest returns, is themaa who has the game of life sized up to a nicety. . The record of the republican party is made up to date, and it cannot be changed by attempts to distort or misrepresent it. It is history, and it forms by far the most brilliant page in the history of the country. It embodies all the progress the country has made during the last half century, from an isolated nation, almost without recognition beyond . its own borders, to a world power, whose influence for civilization and progress is felt throughout the world, and from a place away down In the list of manufacturing and commercial countries to the very front rank. It ;is said that the Elkhart bank trials, vhich have occupied the attention of the United States District Court for several weeks past, will cost the government about $9,000. This would be too large a sum to waste, but it is not wasted in investigating a case of alleged national bank wrecking. National banks are essentially government institutions, and by assuming control of them the government virtually invites public confidence. Thus it becomes, in a sense, resp6nsible for their management, and owes it to itself and the, public to make a thorough Investigation of every bank failure with a view of locating the responsibility. Failure to do this would impair public confidence

in'the national jbankQsystem, and in performing the duty the que&tion of cip:n:2 tould not bo ccncidcrcd. Indianapolis Journal. ..

Congressmen are angry with the postofflce department but they still patronize It by franking their mail.

Judge Parker recalls two democratic national campaigns where talk fal!ed, and be turns a deaf ear to appeals o say something. Russia expects to have 500,000 soldiers in Manchuria by September. It will presently be unnecessary for the Japs to aim in order to hit Russians.' non. Warren G. Sayre, of Wabash, delivered an address at a republican meeting at South Bend Friday night which is pronounced one of the best short speeches ever heard in that city. Two West Virginia women fought a duel with pistols on a public street. Women shouldlbe allowed to vote in West Virginia: they have proved that they possess all tVie qualifications of Southern politicians. If the democrats are able to put up as lively a fight against the republican party after presidential nominations are made, as they are putting up against each other now, the campaign will be interesting. The utmost harmony prevailed in the New York republican state convention. A strong ticket was nominated. President Roosevelt was strongly indorsed and the state delegation to the national convention was pledged for him. The Peru Evening Journal says prominent anti Hearst people have decided to establish a new democratic morning paper in Peru to be put in operation before the first of June. It will be sold at six cents a week and will advocate the nomination of Judge Parker. Congressman Hemenway says that congress will adjourn about May 1. His position as chairman of the appropriation committee gives his opinion especial weight. Senator Beverldge, who belongs to the senate steering committee, predicts adjournment April 25. According to the New York Sun Judge Parker is "extremely abstemious" and he "takes a whisky highball with his meals." No wonder he hasn't time to talk; trying to reconcile the prohibitionists and the southern democrats that way is a big enough job for any man. A report to St. Petersburg from General Kouropatkin says Russian sharpshooters drowned or shot to death fifty' Japanese scouts on the Yalu River, and that the mikado's flag has been lowered at Wiju. A report from Tokio says it is believed fighting has commenced. Agricultural products form the lar gest group of exports from the United States, amounting to $873,000,000 in 1903, or 63 per cent, of the total, while manufacturers amount to $407,000,000, or 29 per. cent, of the total. In 1880 agricultural products formed 83 percent, and manufactures but 12-1-2 per cent, of the total exports of domestic products. . Congressman James E. Watson, of this state, is slated as the temporary chairman of the coming state convention of the republicans, and it is said he is preparing a high sounding keynote speech for the occasion that will send a thrill of enthusiasm into every republican heart in all Hoosierdom. Watson is an eloquent and vigorous speaker and will make his best effort at this time. We have repeatedly stated in these colurrns that the habit of courts of appeal of entertaining exceptions has gone to such an extent with us that In New York State alone less than 3 per cent, of the murderers tried are punished, the remainder going free on technical points. We have indeed In this country come too of ten to regard law not as a substantial thing to protect society, but a code for sharp practice. f The gubernatorial campaign has reached the acute stage, where the ri val forces are watching each other like hawks and where the slightest evidence of a gain ma?s by one candidate sets the friends of the other three scurrying to and fro to learn what's up and to bring about something that will make' an equally strong showing-for their favorites. It is decidedly the band-wagon stage of the contest, and the undecided reoublican is given four different lines of truncnt to coaYince him that there Is but one real-for-curt band v?aon.

The Sacred Concert. The Sacred Concert at the German Evangelical church Wednesday evening was the finest musical entertainment ever presented in this city. It is seldom that a city of the size of Plymouth secures the very best

talent in a musical line, but Max Killian, W. Preston MacHenry and Mrs. Adolph Mohn are simply wonders in their specialties. Mr. Killian's wonderful performance on the pipe organ excited the surprise and admiration of the audience, and those present began to understand why and how the old masters produced music that thrilled immense audiences hundreds of years ago. The music that is in an organ needs a master hand and mind to bring it out and produce the tones that thrill the soul. Mrs. Adolph Mohn's presentation of German music has seldom been excelled in the largest cities of the world and Mr. MacHenry's solos will never be forgotten. The musicians of Plymouth who assisted in the concert seemed inspired by the occasion and covered themselves with glory. The concert was not so long as to become monotonous or tiresome and the German church here is certainly to be congratulated on giving the citizens of Plymouth a great musical treat. The church was almost filled by the lovers of music but every inch of available space ought to have been taken. War and "Sympathy." More or less talk is heard about the sympathies of various nations being with either Japan or Russia in their conflict. It has been said the "sympathy" of the people of the United States is with Japan. France is supposed tobe on the side of Russia, and England cn that of Japan. Sympathy is a word wrongly applied in such a case. There is nothing beautiful about this war. The conflict is one of the most mercenary and sordid in history. There is not a single element of greatness or patriotism in it. Russia wants to steal Manchuria from China, and later to gobble up China if she can. Japan wants to steal Korea and to gain the ascendancy over Cnina. It is selfish, and if it were a battle between individuals instead of nations, they would both be arrested as thieves. England is in sympathy with Japan because she hates Russia and has landgrabbing schemes of her own. France is for Russia because she hates England and because of political reasons. But why there should be any "sympathy" in this , country one way or the other is difficult to understand. Such wars are a drawback to civilization. The conflicts in which this country has been engaged have been wars of principle, acd even they were bad enough. Indianapolis Star. No Change of Conference Lines, The North Indiana M. E. Conference In session at Muncie last week voted against a change of the boundary lines, as proposed by the Northwest Indiana Conference, which seeks to move the dividing line eastward in order that it may acquire a number of desirable charges now io tho North Indiana Conference. Rev.S P. Colvin, of the Northwest Conference spoke for, and Rev. Dr. TV. D. Parr against the proposition. "Northwest people have been wanting the territory so bad they have forgotten to say their prayers," is tne closing remark credited to Dr. Parr. Dr. Colvin threatened to carry the proposition to the general conference. A Remarkable Ree ord. One of the best records for regular attendance at school Is that of Elvie Freese, the fifteen year old daughter of Mr. E. S. Freese of West township. She has attended the same school, the Twin Lake school' ever since she has been of school age, and during her nine years of school life has not been absent nor tardy. Considering the distance she has to go to scheol, one and one fourth miles, and going through all kinds of inclement weather it is truly a remarkable record, and its equal can not be found in the county and perhaps not In the whole state. Miss' Freese is a member of the West township graduating class this spring. Walter Brown's Motto. Some months ago the women of St. John's Episcopal church at Elkhart, of which Walter Brown is a member, issued a collection of "favorite quotations, undeV the title,. "Scraps of Thought." Within th3 last few days some one has discovered that Brown was a contributor, and this is the significant quotation credited to him by the compilers; Hemember that not failure, but low aim, is crime." South Bend i$ Fourth. According to a late bulletin from the census department South Bend is the fourth city in size ia Indiana, Indianapolis, Evansvllle and Fort Wayne outranking it. At the last census Terre Haute was ahead of South Bend. The estimate is as follows: Indianapolis .... 191,033 Evansvllle 61482 Fort Wayne. 43,031 South Bend...........'. 40327 Terre Haute ....... 38,011

Council Meeting. A regular session of the city council was held Monday evening. The city treasurer was ordered to pay Hatch and Son for the paving of Center and Sophia streets, but was ordered to retain one -bond until the work on both streets is entirely completed. Several water rent bills reported inpaid by the city treasurer were referred to the committee on water works and the committee was ordered to make a settlement with them. The finance report showed $2305.91 in bands of city treasurer. Bills amounting to $729.73 were allowed leaving a balance of $1576.18 on hands. The bill of Norman Miller for $17.60 was rejected by the council. Crosswalk between the U. B. church and the Webster school building was complained of and the. matter was referred to the committee on sewers and drains and to the street concmisstoner with orders to remedy. The special committee on the John S. Bender vacation "was ordered to meet at 4 o'clock p. m. Tuesday to view the vacation and report to the council. W. C. Miller a id WTm. Rentschler were authorized to put down a cement sidewalk extending to the curb on Michigan street In front of their places Of business.

Will Cumback Still Active, Former Lieutenant Governor Will Cumback. of Greensburg, is one of the survivors of the first republican state oonvemion. In fact, his record dates back to the very beginning vt the party. In 1854 Mr. Cumback with John D. DeFrees, H. C. Newcomb, William Wallace, Dr. Collins and some others, a dozen in all, arranged for the convention in 1854 of the People's party. Mr. Defrees was appointed to prepare the ca'l. Mr. Cumback attended that convention, as well as the first republican state convention two years later. It was in 1856, when he was but twenty-five years of age, that he was elected to congress. He headed the electoral ticket in 1860 as elector at large, and cast the first electoral vote the state gave to the republican party. He was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1868 and canvassed the whole state. - Mr. Cumback has taken a part in every campaign of the party, has spoken In almost every town in the state and has tendered his services to State Chairman Goodrich for this campaign, ne is in perfect health and vigor and has all the enthusiasm for the republican party that characterized him in his youth. Last campaign he organized in his county the Fremont and Lincoln voters and there were almost 500 of them. West Township Commencement. Toe Sixteenth Annual commencement of the West township schools will be held at the Pretty Lake church, Saturday evening April 16. There are nineteen members in the class, every applicant at the examination having made the required grada for graduating. A speaker from the Rochester Normal school will be present to deliver tne annual address. County Sunday School Convention. The Annual Convention of the Marshall county Sunday School Association will be beld in the U. B. church, Bremen Indiana on Wednesday and Thursday, May 4. 5, 1904. The State superintendent, Rev, E. W. Hal penny, will be with us. A very large attendance is hoped for. Rev. M. Crews. Pres. ' Grace Erwin, Secy. Half the ills that man is heir to come from indigestion.

Do. Do, the shortest word in the English language, and the easiest to pronounce, tells the story of the conquest called civilizationToo much can not be said of this little word, for of it is made up the chain called history. It is the link connecting thought with its tangible

realization; the alchemist who in the past, crystalizing the fancies of the imagination, has enriched the world with the accumulated wealth of ages. An -idea is a great thing in itseir but it Is practically barren until carried out.. It is the doing which makes the difference between the practical people and the theorists. The latter are full of ideas, good ideas, which if the former do not have they borrow, and with which they do something. Learn to do. It is a habit easily acquired, to which one readily becomes accustomed and which means getting practical results. Fortunately, unlike many good habits, it can be acquired at any age. The centenarian, by doing, may become a force and escape back from nonenity into life; age is less a matter of years than will and habits. The world is looking for the people who do they are the only people the world has any use for or who are of any use to the world. Do, do it, and do it now, is as holy a commandment as has ever been given; all past progress Is reflected therein and all future promise. Ideas, purposes and expectations are, at the most, but uncoined bullion, they can be realized upon only after passing through the mint of human energy. Coin them and put them to use, make them effective, available assets by doing.

Any thing that is thrown arounl our habitation, dirty water or every description, slops of every kind, dirt swept from the floors, the contents of a wood box, refuse of a wood yard, or that which lies under the floors of an old wood house, or summer kitchen, or near the back door yard, from year to year; that of the ben house or piggery, the excrements from chambers and privies, feather beds and .woolen blankets, long in use, without renovating, musty rooms all emit a filth. It has been demonstrated beyond a. a doubt, that the modern civilized privy, and the barn yard, with their filth, polluting the air around a dwelling, alid leeching their poison through the strata of earth to the adjoining well, together with the effluvia arising from decaying matter and slops thrown from the back kitchen door, and that from ill ventilated rooms, within, are the sources of 99 out of 100 of all the cases of typhoid fever, and nine-tenths of all coughs and colds, sore throats and fevers of all kinds, and becomes a fruitful soil in which the germs of contagious diseases grow aad flourish.
