Entered at the Postofhce at Plymouth, Indiana as second-class matter. Plymouth, Ind., March 21, 1907. Two Ditch Laws. The late legislature passed two ditch laws, supplanting the old law of which so much complaint has been made. One of these was the Kelley law, the other Parks Tyndall bill, each being supplementary to the other. The Parks Tyndall law takes up the whole subject of construction and repair of ditches. It places ditch repair in the hands of the township trustee, after the surveyor has made the allotments tor the cleaning. While the law provides for the placing of permanent markers to establish allotments, this feature of tru law will be impossible of enforcement, as in some cases this would require the placing of- markers a foot apart for a mile at a time. The law limits the expenditures on this account to ten dollars a mile. The trustee is required to serve notice on the people along the ditch that he will be present on a certain day to view the ditch, but he must view at least one mile at a time, and not "make trips every time a few feet have been cleaned. The trustee may if he wishes t wait until the entire ditch has been completed before receiving it. If any of the allotments are not done by the time he views the ditch he may sell these allotments and the expense from that time falls on the man who has failed to do his duty. The surveyor's costs are limited' to four dollars a day and the allotments must not cost over $10 a mile. Lawyers are limited in the fees they may charge for drawing up petitions in ditch cas es, and the ditch commissioner is limited to the amount of monev he may receive. The Kelley law repeals section ten of the ditch law of 1903, the section providing for the repair of ditches. Under section ten of the law of 190." the land owners did not have an op portunity to do their own work or repairs and the cleaning of the ditch was left in the control of the surveyor and was extremely expensive. , Nebraska Land Thieves. A year or so ago Bartlett Richards and three associates, all offi cials of the Nebraska Land and Feeding Company, were found gmlty at Omaha of illegally fenc iner cfovernment lands. Their "spade ranch" had 400,000 acres under fence, half of which was government land, from which settlers were excluded. Despite the fact that their ofTense was peculiarly flagrant and that the government was doing its best to put an end to such abuses, they were let off with finees of $300 and imprisonment sentences of six hours. They spent the six hours in the custody of the Unit rl States marshal at the Omaha Club. It took just long enough for President Roosevelt to make cer tain of all the facts before the United States marshal and the united Mates district attorney were removed from office and new officials with a better under standing of their duties appointed. Then new indictments were found. Monday these same four men were sentenced, two of them to $1,500 fines and a year in jail and the other two to $500 fines and eight months in jail. Nebraska has suffered worse than any other state from land thefts of this kind, the estimate being that 2,700,000 acres have been illegally inclosed. Suits over inclosures covering half that area have already been brought. Apparently the convicted men will have plenty of company from among their business associates and competitors before their terms expire. Distributing Rockefeller's Cash. Frequent distribution has been recently made of Mr. Rockefeller's fortune. The disposers there of who are so lavishly giving away his millions say they are in a position to know what they are talking about including, as they do, members of young Air. Rockefeller's Bible class, intimate friends of men who are acquainted with Mr. Rockefeller, and reliable gentlemen who have had a revelation in a normal and satisfactory way. The wealth thus distributed ranges from $30,000,000 to $500,000,000, and enriches and gladdens many regions. Without questioning the good faith of the men who are disposing of Mr. Rockefeller's estate, it might be suggested that perhaps it would facilitate and strengthen matters if Mr. Rockefeller could be induced to express an opinion on the promises. A personal statement from the gentleman, who possibly is ignorant of all that is being, or going to be, accomplished in his name and with his money, would carry with it an air of conviction that in fleeting moments of doubt and depression is now lacking. It may be that, despite these renewed assurances of close friends and trusted advisers, Mr. Rockefeller has not fully made up. his mind as to the precise nature of his future benefactions, and is still undecided, notwithstanding the great help he gets from perusal of the daily papers.

About $113,000,000 United States bonds mature July 1 and tnere is mucn speculation as xo whether they will be paid off with funds now, in the treasury or whether the government funds now on deposit with bank, (about $150,000,000) will be thus used, or whether the payment will be made in part each way. One other method is also suggesteci: 10 reiuna an or pan oi these maturing bonus into two per cent bonds. Whde there is be required to build the 1 anama canal.

Mrs. Russell Sage has triven $10. 000,000 to endow a foundation to be known as the Sage Foundation, the object of which is "the improvemen of social and living conditions in the United States." Among the means to that end are mentioned research work, publication, education, the es Itahlishment and maintenance of char i uies. agencies and insitutions, and also the aid of any such agencies and institutions already established. Th scheme seems rather indefinite, but we have no doubt that it will work out into something practical and use fui. It is certainly well to "investi gate and study the causes of adverse I social conditions" for after such study it may be easier to "suggest I . ... posed to do what is now being done effectively by other agencies or indi viduals, but rather "to take up the I larger and more difficult problem? land take them up so far as possible in such manner as to secure coopcra tion and aid in the solution." In a word it seems fair to say that any means calculated to attain the desired end will be permissable Charities may be maintained, or char ities may be established with the idea i that they shall maintain themselves 1 New institutions may be started, or I old ones may be helped. There are so many ways in which it is possibl to improve "social and living condiI tions in the United States" that i; was, of course, necessary to allow I f?reat latitude in the administration of this great enterprise. Much depends on the character and wisdorr of the men charged with this duty of administration. There are many problems which win fail within the scope of this new plan for social betterment. Though the problems may not be solvedt something may be done to help conditions. Of course, the gift is a noble one. We are sure that much good will come of it. Indianapolis News.

The constitutional convention of Oklahoma has quarreled bitterly over the proposal to make State prohibi tion a provision of the Constitution and, curiously enough, the Indian delegates are said to have favored the action. Fifty or sixty such dele gates are members of the convention nearly all of them well educated, in tedigent men. The white delegates from Oklahoma were willing enough to provide for prohibition in the part of the new State now known as In dian Territory, but the Indians, while willing enough to have it there, were determined that there should be no discrimination and forced the com promise which provides that State wide prohibition shall be submitted to the peopie as a separate issue.

With the adjournment of the State Legislature new laws containing emergency clauses are now in enect, and ignorance of the law is no dz fense for violation. It is now unlawful for parents wil fully to abandon their children or re fuse to provide for them. The new law provides that the .judge of the court in such cases may order the wages of the parent applied to the support of the child. Under the provisions of the new pure food law it is now a punishable offense to have in one s possession . adulterated food, drugs, meats, milk, butter or cream, wild game or fish, or to sell such articles from unsani tary places of business. Unsanitary s)aughter houses are absolutely prohibited. A maximum fine of $100 is provided for the conviction of any and all persons interfering with the work of the food inspectors. The penalty for violations of the pure food law itself is a fine of from $10 to $30 for the first offense, $25 to $100 for the second offense and $100 and imprisonment for the third offense. Under the Hanna bill, which took effect upon its passage, whoever feloniously steals the property of another, of less than $25 value, is fruilty of petit larceny! and may be sent to theh penitentiary for a term of from one to eight years, sent to jail for a term not to exceed one year or fined in a sum not to exceed $500, and disfranchised for a period to be determined by the court. The penalty for petit larceny under this law is heavier than under the old law. Upon a second conviction the prisoner shall be punished for grand larceny. The Färber bill, which is also tn force, makes the man who deserts his wife for any cause other thaa im moral conduct, leaving her without support, liable to be sent to prison for a period of from one to three years and disfranchised, fined in a sum of not less than $10 nor more than $100, or sent to jail for a period of one year. The Watson bill, now in effect, strengthens the law relating to cm elty to animals. Under this bill who ever overdrives, overworks, tortures or deprives of proper food any animal, or causes such to be done, is subject toa ,fine not to exceed $200, To this may be added a sentence of sixty days in jail. The law however, does not apply to the dehorning of cattle, the docking of lambs' tails or the dipping, of horses. The Ganiard "blind tiger" law is already being heard from in various parts of the State and is working ma terial hardship upon drugists and gro cers who have been engaging in the illicit sale of liquor. Qualified Insanity "Experts When Charles Reade, half a cen tury ago, wrote "Hard Cash" he con vinced a good many people that the physician who makes a specialty of insanity is likely, sooner or later, to become a little "touched himself. "Hard Caah" was written before the day of the professional insanity "expert," but Reade's inferences and deductions apply a directly to that individual as to the superintendent of the private asylum depicted in "Har. Cash." We can not read the testi mony of one ot the high-priced adepts today without acquiring the idea that here is a man who is at least a monomaniac, if he is not generally irresponsible. The hair splitting, the involved statements, the didactic manner and the pompous dignity of the average "expert" combine to give htm the air of a "crank" a man who cherishes one idea and subordinates all others to it. He is the victim of egomania ranging from adolescent to senile. To put such men in the position of passing upon men's lives or liberty is preposterous. Chicago Chronicle.

THE STORE THAT ALWAYS

SUED FOR DIVORCE. Loyalty of Mrs. Walter Brown, Wife of Elkhart Wrecker, Brings Mistreatment Spurned in her very efforts to stand by -her convicted husband and to console him. in his hour of sorrow and disgrace, Mrs. Bertha Brown, the beautiful wife of Walter Brown, the Elkhart bank wrecker, filed suit for divorce in the Superior Court here Tuesday. Denied a new trial, deserted by most of the men he had formerly counted among his friends, shunned by many of his former acquaintances and downhearted and sick, Brawn, soon after his conviction on the bank wrecking charge, found himself with one faithful friend. That friend was his wife. Her heart bleeding for her suffering husband, Mrs. Brown left her home in Indiana and moved to Leavenworth, Kas., among strangers that she mig'ht be nearer him. She rented a modest house there and announced thr.t her husband's plight would be made as light as she could make it. The faithful wife's reward for the sacrifices she made for her husband was, according to information from Leavenworth. mistreatment from him. It was said Jhere that Brown soured on everything and everybody soon after entering the prison and that he grew peevish and irritable. While he lived in Elkhart Brown was prominent in politics as well as in business, and he looked to his former political associates to secure a pardon for him on account of the ill-health that overtook him soon after his admission to prison, but for the most part these politicians refused to take a part in his behalf. Finding that many of those upon whom he had depended had deserted him, Brown fell into the habit of railing about the ingratitude of his former associates, and his health was so bad for some time that he was forced to go to the prison hospital frequently. And through all of . these trial? Mrs. Brown stood by him. The beginning of the end of the woman's sacrifices for Brown came one day, it is understood, when Brown chided her because, as he charged she had not? done all she could toward petting him pardoned The scene that followed the scolding so touched the heart of the warden of the prison that he afterward upbraided Brown for the treatment he had accorded his wife and told the prisoner that the repetition of such an offense would mean that he would be forbidden the privilege of seeing Mrs. Brown any more. Not long after the wife had taken up her abode at Leavenworth she found that her presence there was not the boon to her suffering husband which she had believed it would be and she returned to Indiana. She has been- a resident of Indianapolis ever since coming to Indiana. At present she is living at the Collonade on North Meridian street. Indianapolis Star.

Death of Mrs. David How. Mrs. Mary E. How died at the home of , her daughter Mrs. Harley A. Logan in this city, Wednesday evening, March 13, 1907, aged 65 years and 5 months. Deceased was born in Ohio her maJden name was Cummins. She came to this state and in 18C3 was united in marriage with David How, the deputy sheriff of Marshall county, and afterwards sheriff for four years. Mr. How died eight years ago and she resided on their fine farm southwest of this city until failing health compelled her to make her home with her daughters. Her death came after a long and very painful illness of cancer. For three weeks previous to her death she could take no nourishment. Mrs. How was one of Marshall county's excellent women and she rreared a good family. She was an ear nest' Christian and had been for many years a member of the Presbyterian church. She leaves three daughters, Mrs. Fred Corse and Mrs. H. A. Logan of Plymouth and Mrs. Joseph Black of German township, and one son, Dr. J. T. How of Lakeville, besides several grandchildren and other relatives.

Interment at the How cemetery. The Automobile Law. The new automobile law which requires drivers of cars to reduce the speed to six miles per hour when passing vehicles drawn by horses or other farm animals may be a little severe on some of the scorchers. But it should be. There are some fool who , persist in running automobile on the highways at a forty-mile speed regardless of the rights of persons driving teams and that the law has been made severe is the fault ot these cranks.
