ftbe tribune.

Established October 10, 1901. Oülj Republican Newspaper in the County. HENDRICKS & GILLESPIE, OFrlCE Bisell Buildlne. Corner LFort and Center Streets. Telephone No. 27. Entered at the postoffice at Plymouth, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. Plymouth, Indiana, June 8, 1905. Machen, "Prince of Grafters," has pleaded guilty. His long bluff thus ends in ignominous failure. It is reported that Tofco sent out a lot of tramp boats to draw the fire of Rojestvensky. Togo probably remembers the demoralizing effect of those Doger Bank fishing smacks. President Roosevlt, although discouraged by Russia's attitude, continues his efforts to bring peace in the far East, and is aided by Germany, Austria and Italy. Bishop Potter is now permitting himself to be named as one of the backers of a New York beer garden. Evidently the good bishop feels pretty sure of his rlock. After the orncials of the Goldneld (Nevada) bank left for parts unknown it was found that they had left $21 silver dollars in the tank vault. Another case of gross carelessness in high places. It is inexplicable how men who have been losing money as fast as Commissioner Garfield finds that the Beef Trust officials have, can afford to spend the summer in Europe even if there is a grand jury session in Chicago. Russia has realized that delays are dangerous. Had Russia removed her troops from Manchuria Oct. 8, 1903, the date she had promised to leave that country the Czar would not now be humiliated and at the head of a government which seems tottering to fall. If labor unions ever learn not to trust their affairs in the hands of men whose salary depends on the trouble thev can make, the unions will be more respected. Now the most sue cessful "leader' is the one who can foment the most disturbances and call the most strikes. President Roosevelt has appointed Edward C. O'Brien Minister to Par aguay and Uraguay and J. Martin Miller Consul General to Aire la Chappelle. It does look as if someone in the investigation division of the ap pointment department was lax in his duty. . In departing to his farm for th summer Vice President Fairbanks re marked: "I like farming, and hav gone through it from top to bottom It is the life, after all, that makes th blood flow and gives a real charm to life. One gets nearer nature when h is engaged in cultivating the soil and harvesting its products." That view is widely held," and makes the United States the greatest agricultural nation on earth. The Chicago police claim to have discovered evidence that the labor unions have been paying professiona thugs $15 apiece for every "scab" that was slugged. If that claim is true it is the manifest duty of the police to secure the indictment of every officer of every union that participated in such lawlessnes and public censure will rest on the poiice, almost equally with that which rvsts on the unions until they have performed this imperative duty. After pondering the matter careful ly a contemporary reaches .the con elusion that before the Chicago city government can operate a traction system it will be necessary for Chi cago to have a city government. This is a view of the case which has lately gained ground rapidly even among those who voted for municipal ownership at the last election. The dodging of brickbats is an exercise which tends to clarify personal the ories of government. If the Republican majorities m Congress hive the nerve to follow their leader, pass a railway rate bill, extend the anti-rebate law, readjust those tariff schedules which require change, along protection lines, ratify the Dominican treaty and deal fairly but firmly with Venezuela the Dem ocrats will be without a single issue in the next campaign and the demor alization of the party begun with the first nomination of Bryan, will be so complete that Republicans can have their own way, as long as they contin ue to give the people ' a square deal. The people of Ohio, aroused to jealousy over the prominence VicePresident Fairbanks, of Indiana, has attained through the presentation of a $500 inkstand to him by the government, have drawn attention to one of that state's popular public servants by presenting Senator Charles Dick with a $200 Panama hat. The head piece did not cost quite as much as the gold mounted ink well, but it will be seen and commented upon more as the. senator flits from place to place in Ohio and in other states : . .He is known as wearing the most expensive hat of any man in America. Railroad rate legislation, tariff readjustment, a national deficient, Santo Domingo ?nd Venezula. From present indications the next Congress will have ample to keep it busy.

The Tennessee judge who fined a prominent citizen $20 for snoimg in church did right, and it is to be regretted that few judges have so much courage. What right has one leading citizen to disturb the slumbers of other god men?

Board of Review. The County Board of Review met on last Monday, June 5, to equalize assessments for taxation so far as their attention is called to inequalities. The Board consists of the county auditor, county treasurer, and county assessor, by right of office, and two taxpayers appointed by the judge of the circuit court. Judge Bernetha has named as these two appointive members, Wiliam C. Gordan of Tippecanoe township and Henry J. Shirk of North township. The Board is in session 30 days. Athletics at Portland Fair. Portland, Ore., June 6. The long programme of athletic games and championship contests to be held at the Lewis and Clark exposition was inaugurated today with the holding of the individual gymnastic championships. From now until the close of the fair in October there will be a constant succession of notable athletic events. They will cover practically the entire field of sport, including boxing, relay races, fencing, swimming, criket, fly casting, golf, football, basketball, lacrosse, wrestling and a special programme of Indian athletic sports.

Big Concrete Bridge. What is said will be the largest concrete bridge in the world is now under construction by the National Bridge Company of Indianapolis, spanning the Wabash river at Peru. Work on the construction began last week and it is to be completed, under the company's contract with the county commissioners, by the first of next November. The bridge is to be 700 feet long, with seven spans, varying from 75 to 100 feet each. The roadway is to be thirty feet in width, and will be about thirty feet above the water. The contract price of the structure is $36,000, which will make the bridge, not only the largest but the cheapest concrete bridge for its size in the world. The company underbid another proposing to construct a steel bridge with wooden floor. The bridge into the construction of which will be put thirtytwo car loads of cement, is designed on the National Bridge company's patents, with reenforced concrete arches. Japan, the New World Power. Nation-building is supposed to be a slow process. Yet within the memory of men living Japan has developed from an unknown people into a world power. Only a few decades ago the Japanese were considered little more than baibarians. Today : their h military prowess and national spirit are causing the " powers of Europe not only amazement but anxiety. It is never to be forgotten that a great war is the test of national efficiency. Not only does it bring to the touchstone the courage, discipline and endurance of the army and navy, the intelligence and skill of the officers and the leadership of the generals and admirals; it also tries severely the public spirit, determination and selfsacrifice of the civil poulation, and it puts to the proof the foresight and statesmanship of the nation's public men, their power to foresee all contingencies and their capacity to make full preparation for them. It is no longer to be denied that a great world power has arisen in the Orient and that this new condition is regarded by the European nations as a very serious matter. Even England, which is Japan's special ally in the present war, is far from being at ease over future possibilities. Japan has criven Russia nearly out of Manchurii and will soon fully accomplish the work. Why should not Japan's next step be the driving of the Germans out of Shantung? If this can be done, it would be in order to arouse the whole of China and India and drive all Europeans out of Asia. sUnder such leadership and follow ing as the Japanese have exhibited in the war with the Russians it could probably be done.

Japan's Great Naval Triumph. It is an annihilating blow that Japan has struck at its powerful adversary in the East. The Russian armada is no more. With the subtle strategy characteristic of its leaders, Japan deliberately chose the battle

ground for its greatest sea fight and waited for the enemy, knowing that he must attack there or falter in a direct offensive movement. Good generalship chooses the fighting ground and forces its acceptance. Japan has done this with the highest degree of success. Russia's naval programme was immensely hazardous, if not a forlorn hope, but it was carried to an issue with a courage that commands respect, and under immense difficulties. A chance of victory existed. Russia took it and lost, as the naval experts expected, but Japan's possible defeat was held by the czar's advisers to be worth the trial. From the accounts received, it does not appear that the Japanese fleet was at any time distressed or seriously damaged. It attacked from the start, aHed by a great superiority in torpedo boats, and fiercely hammered the Russian fleet out of existence. Unions and Their Leaders. Now comes Franklin MacVeagh, who might be expected to know better, and repeats that tiresome and platitudinous humbug about labor unions being discredited and placed in a bad light by unworthy leaders. Who chooses the leaders? Where des the responsibility lie? If the leaders are discrediting the unions why do not the unions depose them? Let Mr. MacVeagh and those who share his views look about them and they will see that unions which do not riot and break the law choose leaders who do not advocate rioting and law-breaking. There are such unions plenty of them and their existence constitutes complete disproof of the twaddle which seeks to make innocent and confiding cherubs out of rioting ruffians. Ruffians choose ruffians to lead them. It is a mater of natural selection. No man who goes out to stone nonunion teamsters and'to fight the police is an amiable and deluded victim of wicked and designing leaders. Such a man is a rioter because he likes to riot, and when it comes to choo?ing a leader he and his fellow rioters naturally select the most radical, blatant and seditious man they can find. Such leaders do not lead anyone astray. It is precisely because they are in harmony with their constituents that they maintain their ascendency. Does anyone believe that Shea, if he were eligible, could be elected to the leadership of the typographical union or the locomotive engineers or the machinists, and does 'inyone believe that, if he were thus elected, he could induce the printers or the engineers or the machinists to go out into the streets and riot for two months at a time? Chicago Chronicle. Japan Eclipses Naval Annals. Now that most of the facts have come out, naval men and government officials, from President Roosevelt down, are more than ever amazed at the results attained by the Japanese. The most of Nippon are now the naval leaders of the world. The experts of all countries at their feet. Incidentally the American navy is at fault and liable to severe criticism because it has not sent men to the far East to study the action on the sea and to profit thereby. Some other nations have been forehanded in this and have gained a distinct advantage over the United States. Perhaps the most astounding fact involved in the war is this: Since the outbreak of hostilities the Japan ese have neither built nor bought war ships, yet their fighting line is new stronger than it was at the beginning of the war. In other words, they have taken from the enemy more in tonnage, in guns, in actual value, than they have lost from all causes during the war. And menawhile they have annihilated the naval power of their enemy. ' Such an achievement as this eclipses everything known to naval annals. Bonaparte in the Cabinet. Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore, who has been appointed Secretary of the Navy to succeed Paul Morton, is slated for Attorney General. It was authoritatively announced Thursday afternoon that he will succeed Mr. Moody, who will retire one year from the 1st of next July, according to his present intention. Then Mr. Bonaparte will become Attorney General and the President will have to select a new Secretary of the Navy. . The President's purpose in installing the Maryland reformer as temporary chief of the navy is to have him in his official family during the year that must intervene before he can assume the position which he desires him to fill. The Prsident believes that he will need the advice and guidance of a friend and councellor who is in such complete harmony with his own views of public question as Mr. Bonaparte. Indiana Getting Better. Governor Hanly believes Indiana is growing better all the time and his observation leads him to the conviction thii there is a constantly growing regard for law and law enforcement throughout the Hoosier domain. When interviewed by Fort Wayne newspaper men, while in that city, thj governor expressed the opinion that Indiana will continue under the spell of reform and the enforcement of the laws.

BLOOD CELLS. IX HEALTH. IN DISEASE.

Man is a millionaire many times over in the possession of blood cells. Woman is not quite so rich, for scientists have proven that the normal number ol red blood cells in adult men is five million; in women four and a half million, to the square millimeter. The normal cell is not absolutely round in health, but, in disease, becomes extremely irregular in shape. Every one can be in perfect health and possess the millions of rich red blood corpuscles if they only know how to go about it. Dr. R. V. Pierce, consulting physician to the Irrvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., advises every man and woman to prepare for a long life by observing nature's laws. In the first place, if your digestion is faulty, and the food you eat is not taken up by the blood and assimilated properly, you need a tonic and digestive corrector, something that will increase the red blood corpuscles; he believes in going about this in nature's own way. Years ago, in his active practice, he found that an alterative extract of certain herbs and roots, put up without the use of alcohol, would put the liver, lungs and heart into fuller and more complete action. This medicine he called Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery. By assimilating the food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, in. stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per. son's blood takes on a rich red color and the corpuscles are more nearly round. Nervousness is only the cry of the starved nerves for food, and when the nerves are fed on rich red blood the person loses those irritable feelings, sleeps well at night and feels refreshed in the morning. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

The board of County Commission ers met in regular session Monday June 5, all members being present. Whereas the Board at a regular session ordered plans for a 50 foot bridge in Green township on the site of an old bridge at the mill dam, and said board now finds that such length without spans for approaches is insufficient and has secured plans for a bridge' with a 50 foot center span and a 28 foot span on each end for approaches, and said plans are now adopted and approved and a con tract ordered to be let. Ihe allowances made at the previous meeting were audited and found correct. Liquor licenses were granted to J. D. Thayer t" Lapaz, George Kruyer Fred Shoemaker, and John Flosenzier of Plymouth, Francis Lemert of Teegarden, and Franklin Walter of Bremen. A remonstrance was filed against J. D. Thayer bearing suffic ient names but as it was not filed three days before the meeting of the Commissioners it was not legal.

AFTER THE PASS HOLDERS. Governor Hanly Gives Order That Causes Consternation. As the first step in carrying out what the state administration thinks to be the law with reference to the acceptance of passes by public officials the railroad commission has entered on the records an order requiring all railroad companies in the state to furnish the commission with lists showing all free transportation outstanding June 1 of this year together with the names of those receiving transportation, says an Indianapolis dispatch. This demand on interrogatory as it is called has been sent to all railroad companies. An answer is expected by the commission within 30 days after the demand is received by the companies. By July. 1 therefore the commission expects to. have on file as a matter of record lists containing among others the .names of public officials who "had passes June 1. These lists are then to be made a basis for investigations and prosecutions if necessary to enforce what the commission believes to be the law. State officials have for several days been apprised in an unofficial way of the possible action of the commission so as to have an opportunity to "get from under" if they so chose and although this is not a matter any of them will discuss yet it is understood that many took the hint and hastened to send in passes. Governor Hanly and the railroad commission declare that under the new railroad law no state officer, county officer or township trustee can hold a pass on any railroad in Indiana. Stats Can't-Spend Its Money. There are five mysterious funds in the state treasury that have been there for years. The "unclaimed estate" fund is about 25 years old and amounts to over $50,000. Not a single claimant has ever appeared for any part of this fund. There is one item of $5730 credited anonymously to the common school fund. It has been turned over from one treasurer to another since before the civil war, and nobody knows even what county it came from. There is a "swamp land fund" of $6.626 that has been on hand for more than 40 years, $300 credited to the "surplus revenue fund and $467 credited to the "old sinking fund." Practically nothing is known of the origin of these funds, amounting to $S0,000, and the state can not spend the money because no legal provision has been made for diverting it back to the general fund.
