Burglars in Plymouth. burglars entered the homes of Christian Fisher, Dr. Knott and II. Humrichouser, three of the most prominent citizens of Plymouth, Friday night.

They got a suit of clothes, a pair of shoes and a watch at Mr. Fisher's; got Harry Knott's watch, 10 cents in cash and a pen-knife at Dr. Knott's; and what money Mr. Humrichouser had in his pants pockets. They left no clue whatever and unless they are identified bv some of the stolen goods, it is not probable that they will be caught. A Ray ol Light in Russia. The Czar of Russia has adopted one reform that will do much to lessen the tendency to secret plotting in that land. He has granted whit England secured long ago, the right of open trial Hereafter men and women suspected of plotting against the government will not be secretly tried by a court that is bound by its 7cry constitution to convict, but will be tried openly, with some hope of justice. This step is due to the war with Japan, and will be one of the reforms that come to Russia through that conflict. It is not the only ray of light that will be let into the dark places of Russian methods of government. Divorces are Numerous. One divorce to seven marriages is the approximate ratio for Indiana during the last year, as shown by figures compiled in the office of State Statistician B. F. Johnson.

Strikers DisliXe Soldiers. Next to the independent workman, the strikers hate the state authorities who protect him In his rights. The "right to work" is vested only in a labor union, and so the strike-breaker, ' with the policeman or militiaman who prevents him from being murdered, becomes at once a deadly enemy. There can be no mistaking the significance of this animosity. In it the labor union stands revealed not only as the foe of public order, but of the sovereignity of the state itself. Organized labor, when logically car ried out, means state socialism, that has long been recognized. Indianapolis Sentinel. The Man That Does Things. We met an old style democrat on the side walk in Laporte Monday and he was free to say that if he lived to vote next fall be should cast his ballot for Theodore Roosevelt for president. He would do this because Roosevelt is a man that is doing something. As for Parker he Knew scarcely a syllable. He seemed to have no policy and no one knew what he would do were le successful at the election. It was not so with Roosevelt. He knew all about that man what he stands for. Laporte Republican.

IlllSlIlliIlt Reünenct Fhont-18. 3E tbo adjusters are the sympathiziog U CELEBRATING AN ANNIVERSARY Democratic State Platform Objects to Honoring Mother cf Lincoln. In the Democratic state platform the governor is arraigned for "taking the Soldiers' Orphans' Home Band to Jeffersonville on one of his Jaunts and trying to saddle the expense of entertaining it on the State Reformatory." It requires a knowledge of the circumstances to understand the motive for this particular "plank." The "jaunt" in Question was a pilgrimage by Governor Durbin and other state officials to the grave of the mother of Abraham Lincoln, upon the occasion of the dedication of a monument to her memory in the little cemetery near the Indiana cabin in which the great emancipator spent his boyhood. A philanthropic citizen of Illinois had erected a shaft at the grave of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, and no public provision having been made for recognizing its dedication. Governor Durbin and other state officials journeyed to Gentryville at private expense. The governor deemed it appropriate that a band composed of the sons of Indiana soldiers who helped to uphold the hands of Abraham Lincoln should accompany the party, and he contributed out of his own pocket one hundred dollars to meet the expense of their trip. At Jeffersonville there was a wait between trains, and at the governor's direction these wards of the state were given a meal or two at the state institution located at that place, the state being saved at the same time a meal or two Ibey would otherwise have eaten at Knightstown. The then superintended of the Indiana Reformatory later rendered to the governor personally a bill for the entertainment of this band, which the governor personally paid. And this incident becomes a Democratic state issue in a platform celebrating the fortieth annlverysary of another Democratic state platform wherein the son of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, in the midst of a struggle for tne preservation of the Union, was denounced for the adoption o measures essential to the maintenance of the national authority. Prominent Democrat Bolts. W. S. Armstrong, former mayor and postmaster of Kokomo, has created a sensation in political circles there by deserting the Democratic party and pronouncing for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. For more than forty years Mr. Armstrong has been the recognized leader of Howard county Democracy. He will take the stump for the Republican ticket. Scores of other Democrats there will vote the Republican ticket this fall. In a public statement Mr. Armstrong said: "Parker is tied to Wall street and the trusts and is against the masses. No true Demcrat can vote for such a man." Mr. Hanly and Labor. "Investigation is quite sufficient to prove the truth of the assertion that Mr. Hanly, private and publicly, has always been an earnest friend of labor, and there is not an iota of evidence to the contrary, notwithstanding the industrious efforts of selfperpetuating Democratic politicians masquerading as labor leaders who have resorted to all manner of questionable schemes to discredit Mr. Hanly's candidacy in the estimation of organized workingmen." Lafayette Courier. Won't Stand for Parker. D. A. Wood of Kokomo is the second prominent Democrat of Howard county to come out for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Mr. Wood df lares that he will vote the Republican ticket from top to bottom this fall. He has stumped the state for the Democrats In every campaign In the last twenty years. The turning down of Bryan at th SL Louis convention by the corporate Interests behind Parker's candidacy are responsiblo for his defection. "Drift of Politics" in Clncla sat! Comnwcial-Triburuj.
