TELEPHONE No. 27. OFFICE --Bissell Building, corner Laporte and Center Streets. Entered at the Postoffice at Plymouth, Indiana as second-class matter. Plymouth, Ind., May, 23, 1907. It is worth more than the mere statement that the Congregational clergyman who married Corey and Gilman has seen the error of his ways, returned the wedding fee and written a letter of repentance to his church, acknowledging his violation of the Christian conception of a marriage by marrying a divorced person. So ends the episode as to the clergyman. But it marks a departure that ought to have all the emphasis possible. For one thing it should be said that there is such a thing as righteous divorce, and a law of divorce properly administered is a great protection to public morals and to private innocence. The Corey example of it was an affront to both, and that any Christian minister should have been persuaded to lend his sanction to marriage with knowledge of what the divorce had been was a scandal that is scantly atoned for by the contrition that follows. The point of insistence is that the sanction of the church should not be given to a marriage such as this was. Every element that led up to it was shameful and every social standard was insulted.--- Indianapolis News When the question of vr.ting "gold" into the Republican state platform in 1896 arose, Mr. Fairbanks was present at the meeting of the committee on resolutions. The question, was debated with a good deal of acrimony on both sides, and Mr. Fair banks, who was then senator, declar ed unreservedly in favor of the straight enunciation of the party an the ;old basis. lie was told that it would lose the Republican party fifty thousand votes in Indiana. I would rather go down to defeat on a gold platform than to carry the state by fifty thousand votes on a silver ox bi metal ;dank," said the senator, and his position won the day. Yet there art some who say Mr. Fairbanks is not outspoken of his opinions in politics. He merely shows the wisdom of discreet silence on topics that are not directly or remotely issues, and speak plainly on those that declare the principles of his parts- He has made more Republican platforms for Indi'anians, and platforms that became in essentials if not in entirety the platforms of the national party, than any man in the state. And he has had a hand in the direct work of shaping all the platforms of the national party in whirh M rTCin1v anrl T rTvinlv R- ... j .............. I .... ' puoiicans .were mtimatei concerned. He is never uncertain of position, opinion, or expression when necessity arises, nor when propriety dictates utterance. Elkhart Review, j jß Editorial Meet. Hon. James P. Goodrich is making the rounds of the state calling the editors of Republican papers to banquets and good times generally, presumably in the interest of Vice President Fairbanks, when he knows full well it would be suicidal for any man to attempt to secure a place on the "state delegation, who was not a full fledged Fairbanks man. The real fact of the matter is that Goodrich is holding these meetings in his own behalf, to feel of the public pulse for bis own standing as a candidate for governor next year. The South Bend Times in speaking of the meting in that city noted the absence of W. G. Hendricks of this paper and wondered why this was. It is easily explained as Mr. Goodrich well knew after th- bulldozing tactics employed in the chairmanship matter in this county last year that Mr. Hendricks would be anything but a Goodrich man and that was the only kind he wanted present. If Mr. Goodrich would make as many blunders over the matter of his election as governor as he did as state chairman last year, this state .would go ten thousand Democratic. , The National Cemeteries. John Giller has furnished us with a recent copy of the National Tribune published at Washington, in which is printed a list of he National Cemeteries and the number of interments in each at the close of the last fiscal year. There are eighty-three cer"trie5 the one at Arlington, Va., beinjar the largest, in which 20,370 soldi w buried. The number of interments in these cemeteries is as folloiws: known, 201,282; unknown, 152,103. Total, .353,385. This number comprises those that were buried during and since the civil war. The largest number lof unknown buried are in the cemetery at Fredericksburg, Va., 12,802, and at Vicksburg, Miss., 12,769. It is presumed that the graves of all this vast number that died during and since the war of the rebellion will be strewn with flowers on the coming Decoration day. Washington Kelly informs us that in portions of the south public subscriptions are being taken up to purchase flowers for the occasion. For Auld Lang Syne. The McDonald, Thompson and Dickson families' will have their annual reunion, Sunday, June second, this5 year, at the residence of James L. Mosher, one mile south of Hibbard. Hacks will be run from the trains to Mr. Mosher's residence. This is an earlier date than the reunion was held on last year which was dated to commemorate the arrival of the principal families at that place 71 years ago.

"That Was Business." Judge Landis is shocked and dis

gusted that the "good, clean looking men" who were prominent members of the seating trust should have made a specialty of straw or dummy bids in conducting their illegal business. When seats were needed for a school, the trust first decided which of the firms composing it should have the contract. That firm put in a bid at a figure which would give it an excessive profit. Several of the other firms put in higher bids. The object was to sweeten the dose for the school officials to make them believe that there was active competi tion and thai the lowest bid, high though it seemed, was not really un reasonable. It seemed to Judge Landis that any man with self-respect would rather dig in a ditch at a dollar and a half a day than attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the members of a country school board by means of an elaborate system of bogus bids. The methods he criticised are indeed disrepuutable. They do not differ in principle from those of the ordinary confidence operator. The "intent to deceive is manifest. But the men who employed those methods did so unhesitatingly and cheerfully and probably were surprised and pained when Judge Landis said they would h.ivc been more respectably employed sir ditch digging. One of the witnesses for the government in. one of the Chicago v.'hisky trials a rectifier who had turned s .e's evidence admitted on the stand that a number of affidavits he had made as rectifier were false. He admitted that he had perjured himself again and again. But when the counsel for the defense, asked him ho-.v he expected the jury to believe the evidence of a man who confessed that he had repeatedly sworn falsely, the witness was ready with an explanation. He disposed of the little matter of false swearing to affidavits with tK; remark, "That was business." So the men who organized and ran tne seating trust were and probably still are of the opiniom that their system of dummy bids "was business.' It lulled the suspicions of schoo1 boards. It helped to make trad-;. It produced profits, and it would not do to question too closely the morality of anything which did that. Indeed. n?n who will in deliberate defiance of law organize a trust could nn be expected to boggle at a trifle sch as straw bids, which have been in common use for many years, though they are not so ancient as straw balU c.r straw bonds. Probably Judge Landis does not know to what a degree the argument "That was business" is an opiate .fo: the conscience of the business man It reconciles him to strange and d? vious courses especially if his lawyer shall say that they probably cm be followed with safety. Chica Tribune. A Building That Forever Stands. The house built on the sand falls when the mighty storm beats upon it The house built on the rode will withstand storm after storm, but it, too, must at last yield to the destructive hand of time. Yet we may buile a building that can defy storms anc tempests and may even laugh at the power of time. This building is character. Emerson says: "Character is more than intellect. A great soul will bt strong to live as well as to think. Goodness outshines1 genius as the sun makes the electric light cast a shad ow." Wealth is not character, but is, or the other .hand, very often the cause of a ruined one. Learning is not character. Largeness of mind, love of truth and honesty, delicacy of man, tact and energy, may all be lacking in a person who' is well educated. Reputation is not character You may be held in very high esteem by the world, still your character be worthless. Character, therefore, is not what a man has in the way of wealth, learn ing or fame. It is what the man really is.. In other words, it is the image which he cut upon our life. Now, there are some things which are essential to the building of a gen uine character. One of thee is indus try. Idleness is the author of all mis chief. In the race of life, industry always wina. Another element in the building of character is cheerfulness. It is a fine art to be able to get comfort and sweetness out of all circumstances and he who has formed the habit of looking at the bright, happv side o things has a great advantage over the person who! is always finding thr dark side. Purity and truth are still other ele ment in this building of character. Everything that corrupts the heart should be avoided. Pure thoughts re fine the countenance, and there is nothing which the world admires so much as truth, for it at once shows that strength of character in which all are willing to confide. Selected Biblical Repartee. Justice Jeremiah Black of Pennsylvania, in reviewing a case thit came up from the coiurt of his old friend Judge Moses Hampton, remarked "Surely Moses must have been wondering in the wilderness" when he made his decision," and sent the case I ack to the lower court. Judge Hampton on its second trial remarked that although he would have to submit to higher authority, he still thought he was right,' in spite of the "lamentations of Jeremiah." Ice Trust is Punished. Four Kansas City ice companies were fined an aggregate of $32,500 and one concern was ousted from the State for violating the Missouri antitrust law by Jucge W. A. Powell in the Circuit Cocrt at Independence, Mo., Wednesday. Similar cases against four other companies were dismissed.

MAIL TRANSFER BUSINESS.

Rapid Juggling of Pouches Often Necessaiy by Frequency of Trains. The bussiest-izziest person in town, so he thinks, is the man that transfers Uncle Sam's mail from the depots to the postoffice and back, and from the many trains that carry mail. To the man on the street there frequently comies the mental question: "Why does that mail wagon run so furi ously?" and he answers the question for himself by concluding that the man is a plunger arid that the break neck speed is simply to his liking. But there the stranger is mistaken. The man is not whizzing along merely to enjoy the ride he has barely time, and not a second to spare, to make a train with a lot oi transfer pouches. The railroads centering in this city make the mail transfer business a large and responsible work. There are some twenty-eight trains each day that receive and discharge mail. A number of these trains arrive and depart at a difference in scedule time of . only a few minutes, and the mail man must be at each to receive and deliver his consignments. For instance: No. 25 on the Pennsy is due at 5:07 a. m. and No. 18 is due at 5:10 a. m. No. 25 carries a transfer pouch for the Lake Erie and Western, for the Vandalia and for Plymouth and South Bend She gives 100 to 125 pounds of mail, some mornings 500 pounds. No. 18, from Chicago, paper train, gives all the way from 1500 to 2500 pounds, which is transferred to the Lake Erie and Vandalia gaing south. This has to be done in 15 minutes' time. Besides this, there is a trip to the postoffice with six pouches, which has to be made first, and after getting bacl there is from 7 to 9 minutes to make the Lake Erie and Vandalia. The next train is the Vandalia north at 8:40, which throws two pouches and a tie sack. The next is 9:07 east on the Penna. one pouch. At J:50 east on the Penna.pouch and two tie sacks. Off from that the mail carrier gets a pouch and two tie sacks for the L. E. south at 10:47 and two tie sacks for the Vandalia south at 11:30. At 10:26, from the Penna.a Plymoaiht pouch and tie sack, and a pouch and four tie sacks for the L E., and tie sacks for the Vandalia south (papers). At 10:47 south on the Lake Erie are put the transfers from 9:50 and 10:26, and a Plymouth pouch and about seven tie sacks. The L. E. north at 11:30 gives four pouches and four tie sacks. The Vandalia south at 11:30 gives one pouch and a flying trip is made to the L. E. far the mail thrown off at 11:30. The Vandalia north at 11:50 gives two pouches, one for Plymouth and one for No. 23 west on the Penna This finishes the forenoon. On No. 22, going east at 1:17 is sent out a pouch aud three tie sacks, and get pouch and tie sack No. 23 west at 1:38, get a pouch and tie sack and put on three pouches and five tic sacks. No. 39, at 1:51 west returns pouches and sacks from Nos 22 and 23 and a pouch and sack for Plymouth. At 4:45 north on the Lake Erie, one pouch for the postoffice and a transfer pouch for No. 8 on the Penna. Take mail to the office and get the mail for Nos. 8, 19 and Vandalia south, all due within four minutes of each other. No. 19 west, due at 5:50 get a pouch and a tie sack; No. 8, east at 5:54, get two pouches and two tie sacks. From the south-bound at 5:50, we get a pouch for Plymouth; from No. 19, two pouches, one for Plymouth and one for Vandalia north at 6:38, and four extra sacks. Bring this mail to the office and get one pouch for the Van at 0:38 and transfer stuff taken from Nos. 8 and 19. All the night trains receive and give mail, but Nos. 6, 24 and 11 arc handled by Daniel Brown the night man at the station. The above resume of a day's work has necessarily employed many figures and a good deal that reads like repetition, and to the average reader it may not be any more exciting than to read a page of a dictionary, but it represents a system employed in Uncle Sam's management of its great mail business. The work requires exactness. A single pouch sent on a wrong train will be followed within a week by a letter calling for an explanation, and a fine is imposed. Will Ormund has the contract for the transfer of mail and Ed Giller manages and docs the work. It is attended with constant responsibility, but Ed has proven his capability for handling it. ' Handed Them a Lemon. The editor sat in his office, whence all but him had fled, ana he wished that every last dead-beat was in his grave stone-dead. His mind then wandered far away to the time when he should die, and his royal editorial soul should go scooting to the sky, when he'd roam the fields of paradise and sail o'er jasper seas, and all things glorious would combine his every sense to please. He thought how then he'd look across the great gulf, dark and dreary, that'll yawn between his happy soul and those who swindled here, and when for water they would call, and in agony they'd caper, he'd shout tol them; "Just quench your thirst with the due that's on your paper." Ex. Four Men Sentenced to Die. The Supreme court of Missouri has affirmed the death sentences imposed by the Circuit Court on George Ryan, Harry Vaughan and Edward Rayrnond who broke out of the Penitentiary Nov. 24, 1905 and killed Guard John Clay in resisting recapture. The three are now sentenced to be hanged on June 27. The Supreme Court also sentenced John King of St. Louis to hang on that date for having killed his sweetheart

CHERRY PECTORAL UNDER NEW LAW. Net One "Bad" Drug Store. ' There is one small grain of comfort to be found in the complication of inspection results in the State since the new pure food and general sanitation law went into effect; none of the duig stores that have been inspected were found to be in the lowest class as far as sanitary aspects were concerned denominated bad. H. E. Barnard, chemist of the State Board of Health, and State Food and Drug Commissioner, has made a compilation of the 1,005 inspections made by the food and drug inspectors. In this number 165 were of drug stores, of which sven were classed "excellent," ninety-one were classed "good," sixty "fair," seven "poor" and none "bad." The greater number of the inspections made showed conditions that were "fair". This includes inspections made of dairies, groceriss, meat markets and slaughter houses, hotels and restaurants, bakeries and confectioneries. Above this average line of lair are the good and excellent classifications, and below it are .he poor and the bad classifications. Of the twenty-nine dairies, four were txcellent,eight were good, seventy, fair, five poor and only two bad. Of the 357 groceries, fifteen were excellent, 120 were good, 181 were fair, thirty-one were poor and ten were bad. Only three of the 220 meat markets and slaughter houses were classed1 as excellent. Fifty-eight were classed good, 134 fair, ff'"n poor and ten actually bad. Even the hotels did not come up as the commissioner desired, only six being in the excellent class. Forty-five wero in the good class, fifty-six fair, twenty-eight poor and four bad. Bakeries and confectioneries v.erc examined to the number of ninetyfive. Of this number two were excellent, thirty-eight good, fqrty-oine fair, twelve poor and two badi. "It will be noticed that only few places are in a really excellent condition," said H. E. Barnard, food and drug commissioner. "By that we mean absolutely clean, well ventilated and lighted and entirely sanitary in every respect. Rather more than a third of the inspection revealed good conditions; nearly half were only fair, that is, the floors, walls and ceilings were not clean, the stores were not propertly ventilated and lighted or in some way conditions were present that might easily be remedied, and yet, because of carelessness or neglect on the part of the proprietor, were allowed to remain in a condition which can only be considered at the best as fair. About 10 per cent of the places were in poor condition and 3 per cent in bad condition and .were condemned. "Wherever conditions were found to be poor or bad, , proprietors were notified by the inspectors to put their places in proper shape at once. Five buildings devoted ot the slaughtering of animals were condemned and ordered destroyed as being entirely unsuitable for the production of food. News. Blame 'Equality for Married Woe. Loindon, May' 21. The remark b Magistrate Fordham during the hearing of a case in the North London Police court to the effect that a woman ought to allow her husband to revise her visiting list, has led tol i burning controversy, rushing into which, another magistrate, indorsing Fordham, says: . "In almost every case of domestic trouble in my court the cause may be found in 'the husband's submission to his wife. This is a perversion of the natural order of things. Many years' experience has taught me that the oJd Testament order is the safest for human happiness. The wife must be the subject of her husband, even when the husband is unworthy of respect or veneration. She must yield to him in all points. Otherwise there will be trouble sooner or later. It is a fashion to talk about mutual regard and 'absolute equality,' bii; jr. rartl.works in practice. If a woman is not prepared to honor and obey her husband, she ought not to have mimed him." A prominent London clergyman concurs mainly in this view, but advocates mutual uiderstanding concerning men whom the wife is entitled to receive. A lady in charge of the headquarters of the suffragettes emphatically dissented from the magistrate's opinion. She upheld absolute equality between wife and husband. She said: "The only arrangement is the mu -ual one. The marriage service, with its 'love, honofr, and obey,' is an anachronism. The wife is entitled to as much liberty as is the husband." It is noteworthy that the expressers of opinions on the subject are reluctant to divulge their names.

Pleas' of guilty cost thirteen corporations and FredcrickA. Holbrook fines aggregating $42,750 Monday, when Federal Judge Kcnesaw M. Landis handed down his final decision! in the case . of the school and church furniture combination, charged with conspiring to restrain trade in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The court preceded) the sentence with a scathing denuciation of the combine, and declared that the law n this subject was inadequate. Referring to the methods of making "straw" bids, Judge Landis used the words "cotntemptible" and "nasty," and asserted that any self-respecting man would rather dig ditches at $1.50 a day than engage in the less dignified occupation of mulcing the trustees of little churches and schools. Frederick A. Holbrook, promoter of the combination, was given the maximum fine of $3,000 on each of the two indictments, as was also the American seating company and the A. H. Andrews Company, the largest concerns associated in the combination, directed by Holbrook as president of the Prudential club. In the cases of the eleven remaining defendants Judge Landis exercised clemency because of his belief in the pleas of "near-bankruptcy" advanced by them. These were lined sums ranging from $2,250 down to $500. The case of the E. II. Stafford Company, which has disclaimed all connection with the combination in a demurrer, will be taken up later.

Council Proceedings. The city council met in special session, Friday evening. The subject of the Mutual franchise was broughgt up. The mayor stated for council, that much time had been spent by that body over said franchise, and that as several clauses were under discussion, it could not be decided until next meeting. The company was asked about what number of subscribers they woud estimate having within a year. Mr. Lauer replied for the company that they expected to have about 400 city and 250 farmer subscribers, within that time. He stated that at their public meetings there had been two or three hundred farmers who expressed a willingness to take phones at once. He also declared for the company, that . rural lines woiuld be built as fast as they were requested. The question of having poles in the city, painted, was; also discussed. Probably, the franchise will be decided at the next council meeting. A remonstrance against the Thayer street sewer was presented', signed by C4 per cent, of residents, but CO per cent, of property owners failed to remonstrate, and so the sewer will be constructed from Nursery ten Dixon street.

Today about 300 warehousemen, county officers and business agents of the union met at the capitol. A resolution condemning the immigration movement and calling on the coming general assembly to make any appropriation to further -the movement of the Georgia Immigration Society was introduced by Colonel W.

Peek of Rockdale county, and passed by a unanimous vote The union opposes immigration on the ground that undesirable citizens will.be brought into the state; that they will crowd the native Georgians out of the factories, and that the ad mission of so many. will increase the production of cotton and lower the price. Resolutions were also passed asking senators and states, Congress and Senate to do all in their power to restrain the tide of immigration to the United States High School Instructors. R. A.

3i Will Revise Latin Bible, In a dispatch from Rome the correspondent of the London Times says he learns the pope has issued the decree intrusting the entire revision of the Vulgate to the Benedictine Order. This is the most important decision yet announced, the correspondent continues as an outcome of the Biblical Commission appointed toward the end of the pontificate of Leo XIII. In an editorial article the Times says it is difficult to overestimate the importance of this step. "No book," the paper declares, "has exercised a wider and more - powerful influence in molding the faith, morals, thought and traditions of the literature oi the European world than the Latin version of the Scriptures, which we know as the Vulgate. For 1,500 years it has been setting its press upon the lives and the whole mental heritage of countless millions of men." The paper adds the step is a bold one, but it will be hailed with satisfaction by many within as well as without the Church of Roane. Just a Loafer.
