TELEPHONE No. 27. OFFICE--- Bissell Building, corner Laporte and Center Streets. Entered at the Postoffice at Plymouth, Indiana as second-class matter. Plymouth, Ind., September 30, 08 THE COUNTY UNIT Nathan Heckert a young man residing in an outlying township of this county, which has been decreed dry by virtue of a township remonstrance, went to Plymouth, Friday afternoon and became intoxicated in the saloons that are kept open by the wishes of the voters in a single ward in that city. On his way home Friday night Heckert lay down on the tract to sleep off the influence of the liquor he had drank in the saloons of Plymouth and without the warning of an instant his earthly career was ended and his body was ground in pieces and strewn along the railroad by a passing train. All the outlying townships of the county and in fact Center township outside of Plymouth has decreed the saloons must quit business, yet what is to hinder a dozen young men from those va rious communities going to the saloons in the wet ward of Plymouth becoming intoxicated and meeting the same fate as befell young Heckert? The people residing within a couple miles of the saloons of the one wet ward in Plymouth are daily liable to face the results of such sickening tragedies and most patiently bear the burden of their disrupting influences, yet under the principle of ward and township control they have no voice or vote in the .matter at all. Because that principle, through the saloon and brewery interests of Indiana, was incorporated in the state Democratic platform a bright and intelligent man as Thomas R. Marshall attempts to tell the temperance people of this state that young Nathan Heckert's friends should not have a right or voice in saying whether the crime and death breading institution of the saloon should exist or be prohibited in their own midst. This is so illogically wrong and inconsistent that common sense and sane reasoning removes it entirely from the field of partisan politics and places it on the higher plane of a simple duty to humanity to demand the county unit local option law. The self respect of every fair-minded temperance advocate irregardless of his political affiliations, will surely force him to rebuke this unfair proposition of maintaining a hell hole in one ward or township to the deadly detriment of the entire surrounding community and at the same time denying that community the right or privilege of voting on the important question. ----Argos Reflector. J ji ji The First Vote. It is isaid in Indiana this year over 0,000 young men -mil cas their first presidential ballot. This means a good deal iLe election While these ballot .vill not al be additional maiv , " them wil go to swell the number of voters liie enort of erooci citizens should be directed to the leader ship of these young men in the estimation which they place upon the use of the franchise. Too much have a great voters who ought to appreciate the value of the ballot as a means of expressing their intelligent convictions upon matters of public import ance come to believe that the ballot is little more than a means of accomplishing some desired personal end. In local matters men vote very often for a fellow who they think can help them in politics or in business or in their employment. In state matters they are apt to cast their ballots for the faction or the party which they think will accomplish those things most closely related to their r-ersonal success or prosperity or prejudice. The misuse of the naturalization has begotten in the minds of a great many foreigners the idea that the ballot is a means of the acquirement of personal liberty in moral conduct as well as a political weapon against their enemies This has naturally resulted in the misunderstanding of the right of franchise, its jdignity audits purpose, by the foreign element and their descendants. In everv campaign it should be the dirt every good citizen 3iing man who is his first ballot to' him the value of a badge of Ameri1. Elkhart Review who kr ready ba can citi W-.i peak at Bremen. Chas.

AUGUST HEALTH

IS IMPROVED DEATH RATE AND SICK RATE ARE BOTH LOWER THAN IN 1907 STILL ROOM FOR Health conditions were better in Indiana in August last than hey were the corresponding nonth last year. This will De shown by the bulletin ot tue otate Coard ot Health for August which will be issued in a snort time, in advance ot tne puDiicaion of the bulletin, Dr. J. N. liurty, secretary ot the Mate liuard, issued the following statement giving a summary of disease and death in the State in vugust. "Diarrhea was reported as the most prevalent disease; typhoid lever was second, cholera infantum third, cholera morbus fourth and dysentery fifth. All these dis eases were caused by food poisoning, in the hot weather fer mentation and putrefaction are verv active. Milk becomes pois onous in a few hours unless it is collected in a clean way and kept cold. Salads and cold meats kept in refrigerators and spring nouses undergo rapid lermenta tion and putrefaction, and pois ons are produced which cause di arrhea, cholera infantum, cholera morbus etc. 0 Per Cent. Decrease in Typhoid "Typhoid fever, second in area of prevalence, was seventh in July. The typhoid deaths in Au gust numbered 81, in July ot. This is an increase of almost 40 per cent.

Cancer and ty phoid lever, a lew vears ago, caused about the same number ol deaths, but now typhoid has fall en behind about onehalf. Cin cer is increasing slowly, ami ty phoid fever is decreasing. Children Need More Care. 'Hie 4U5 deaths. from diarrheal diseases under five years of age constitute a comment upon our intelligence, because they were all caused by feeding poisoned food to children. We sincereh hope-that people will listen to tlu i r i i teachings oi nvtriene. anu see to it that sterile and non-poisonoti foodls. are used. This is simply a matter of intelligence and care. "Smallpox existed onlv to slight degree during the month, only 43 cases reported from seven counties, with no deaths. In th corresponding month last year G: cases in eighteen counties, with no deaths. Death Rate Was 12.5. i' r.'.! t aoA - . l 173 males and 47 females. these violent deaths 8 were mur Jers, 32 s'uicides and the remain Jer accidents. Of the murders C were males and 2 females.

"As compared with the corres ponding month last year there u in improvement.

RECENT PURGING

CLEANS POLITICS ELIMINATION OF CORRUP TION LIKE DUPONTS AND FORAKERS MEANS PURIFICATION PROCESS IS ON. There is a bright side to the ugly development of politics. The Foraker, Haskell and Du Font cases are not so much evidences of bad politics as they are eviden ces of good politics. Almost every comment on these recent happenings and revelations that have come to attention have been either defense or at tack. Both of these sides of the proposition are ugly and hopeless. The bright side of the proposition is this: That, where in former years it was possible for Foraker and Du Font to loss the political game, now, it is impossible. It all tenuis to" show that the game of politics is in a state of purifi cation ; and, while we give so much attention to the evils and the gloom, let's take a look occasionally at the bright side. To dwell upon the disagreeable is dangerous to ourselves and those with whom we come in contact. One of the greatest thinkers in Indiana, and a man recognized in a broader field as lecturer and writer, W. II. Sander' . said that the great evil of ioi'ay is within, by the people, agiinst the citadel of 'their own faith. In o:I.er words, he meant that, uirU we are purifying politics, and making the government better, it will be well to remember that ail is not bad. It will be well to remember that the expulsion of questionable characters from the machinery that makes government ,is a purifying process. It should be kept in mind that there never was a time when politics were as pure as today, because there never was a time when we had so good a chance to get rid ol what is bad. This does not mean, however, that we should forget vigilance in such matters. We ought to seek out and exclude the odious elements; but we should not do this for the love of muck-raking. We should do it for the love of betterment. And we should remember that, while we have found so much that is bad, there is yet a great deal left that is good; and that this good is only the better because .it has been separated from the bad. Independence at the ballot box has made this possible. The people have demanded the purifying. and they are getting it. They, should keep it up in township. town, city, county, state and nation. And. while it is being done, let us remember that the purpose is for good, and that, even at its worst, the government we have, our own Uncle Sam, is the best in the -world. Let our thoughts. our action-?, tir independence in voting, be laracterized bv this sentiment : That it is not that we believe our government is so bad as a whole, but that we would make it better. Hughes on Bank Deposits. In Jtis speech at Indianapolis Tuesday Governor Hughes recognized one point in connection with guarantee of bank deposits which has been dwelt upon m these columns. This is that any such fund would either have to be withdrawn from investment and locked up where it would be in stantly available for depositors of failed bankis, or either it would have to be invested in some form of securities which must be sold for cash in The money market for what they Will brine, like all other securities whatever, in a time of stress. Taking New York as an illustration, Mr. Hughes shown that Mr. Bryan's bank deposit law would have been withdrawn some thing like $14,000,000 from circulation,thus decreasing th banking power of the state and the banking facilities of the pco pie by that amount, whereas it would have been needed in the re cent bank failures on Manhattan Island by only the negligible sum of $ 1.1 .000.

ANTI-LIQUOR CRUSADE RESULT OF MORALSHELPED BY CORPORATIONS

(From the Indianapolis ' Star. )- The movement on foot for temperance in drink is going forward in the social world with no less rapidity than i's the movement-for prohibition of the liquor traffic in the field of political activity. The liquor traffic in America got its first black eye two or three decades ago when the railroads and large industrial corporations began to discriminate against the man who drinks too freely. While not in the least asserting the right to control the peisonal-hab its of their employes, the man agers of the great industrial corporations and transportation com pames awakened to the fact that frequent drinking was not only a prolific cause of costly accidents but also" led to a general ineffic iency. Year by year, as commercial and industrial-life grew more strenuous louder came the call for men who were at all times in tlic fullest possession of all their faculties. Even the old traditions that a traveling salesman could sell more goods if he -drank freely with his customers and that a newspaper man could do better work with a few drinks under his belt, faded away before the more brilliant achievements of sober men who kept themselves at all times well in hand. In this awakening of the business world lay the beginning of the political and social movement that is putting so many saloons out of business today. We AmerCAMPAIGN IN H00SIER STATE TAFT SPECIAL WILL MAKE INDIANA TOUR SHERMAN ALSO V I L L SPEAK AT VARIOUS POINTS IN STATE. It was announced at Republic can state headquarters Monday that W. H. Taft will make a tour of Indiana in a" special train. 'The state committee has not yet learned the time when he will make his swing through the state. The list of places where he will speak will be arranged soon by Will H. Hays, chairman of the speakers' bureau. If President Roosevelt decides to cnlcr the campaign actively lu will speak in Indiana. The s, täte committee has this assurance. It is expected that he will deliver several (speeches during the last part of the campaign. The state committee has lveTn informed from national headquarters that Senator Beveridge is in great demand. In recognition of the sacrifice Indiana makes in giving Senator Beveridge to the national campaign the national committee assigned Governor Hughes, James S. Sherman, candidate for Vice President, and Seth Low, ex-mayor of New York, to speak in Indiana. AH arrangements , have been completed for the yisit of Mr. Sherman. Mr. Hays has announced that the first big Sherman meeting in this state will be at Muncie next Monday afternoon, when Mr. Sherman will be the speaker at tli2 Eighth District rally. Congressman Samuel W. McCali of the Eighth Massachusetts District will alsovpeak at the lug rally . It is planned to have representatives from the entire Eighth Indiana District in attendance at the meeting, and it is expected the gathering will be one of the largest of the campaign. Monday night Mr. Sherman will address another meeting at Elkhart and at the same meeting Addison C. Harris of Indianapolis will speak. A number of other men of national repute will upeak in Indiana during the present week. James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior, will speak at 'Richmond on Oct. 1, at Peru on Oct. 2 and at Hammond, Ind., on Oct. 3. Following an interview Monday morning between Mr. Hays and Governor Hanly, announ remen t was made that the Governor will assume an active part in the campaign from now on until election. The interview took place in the Governor's office and lasted for over an hour. "I am at your service," governor Hanly told Mr. Hays, "and I will go wherever you send inc. The party Ikus kept the faith and I will go into the campaign." No announcement has been made yet as to the dates of Governor Hanly 's speeches, but a schedule will be arranged in the near future. Mr. Hays announced that the Governor will "go into the campaign with his coat off." Fans are Displeased. The last game of bail on the local diamond for this year was played Sunday between the Clippers and Hammond Colts, resulting in victory for the locals by the score of f to 5. Burwell pitched for Plymouth, and the. game was close and interesting. One of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds of the season was in attendance. Many of the local fais complained that Umpire Huffman of Culver, rendered the yisiting team many raw decisions. This facUwtis lamented by almost all pre&nt who desir a square deal to all.

ins have an inborn desire to i?fJrovc . the morals and the condition of our neighbors,and -when we made the discovery in our daily business life that drinking was "bad business" for the other fellow we were quite ready to demand laws and feign remonstrances that would make it difficult for him to get liquor. The grvat majority of people who have signed remonstrances during the last dozen years have no thought of cutting off their own supplies, but believe it would be better to make it more difficult for the youth and the habitual i

drunkard to get liquor, iiut in the end they have made the drinking habit unpopular not only in the "dry" wards, and townships, but all over the land. In Indianapolis, in Chicago, in New York, no lest than in the smaller communities, the saloons, the hotels and the clubs find their bar receipts "shot to pieces." The individual drinker can not explain it. He has taken no particular vow of abstention. Indeed he has not "thought much about it. When asked about it lie may recall that he has had fewer in vitations to drink that formerly, and, by the same token, he has extended fewer invitations to oihers. Most men that sdrink rr.relv do so because they really want a drink, but merely to be a gHd fellow; and the fad for good fellowship ' seems to be rapidly waning.. , f WILL IMPROVE FT. HARRISON MAJOR GEORGE PENROSE ASKS UNCLE SAM FOR 4 NEW BUILDINGSCAMP CONTINUES ANOTHER WEEK. Maj. George H. Penrose, chief quartermaster on Brig. Gen. W. H. Carter's staff, has recommended to the government that four new buildings be erected at the camp of instruction, Ft. Benjamin Harrisonr-as soon as is possible. Although, the. maneuver season will continue for another week, Maj. Pen rose-has about whipped his plans for breaking camp into final shape. He has been at work on the proposition for some time and in .considering the matter of storing property, the need of the new structures became obvious. According to the present plans four and possibly .five large warehouses will be erected within the next month. During this maneuver season an increased amount of equipment -was used and the quartermaster hat no place for its protection. His idea is to put up the modern warehouses in different parts of the reservation where loading and unloading would be most convenient. The ninety immense incinerators, where refuse is burned in keeping a perfect sanitary condition, were first established at the camp this year. They cost about $10,000 and will alone require an enormous amount of floor space ill a storage. The fifteen miles of water service that was a great pleasure to the soldiers this season will alko receive attention. The pipe will all be taken up, disjointed and stored away. The hundreds of tents that have been used by the 1..100 regulars during the maneuvers will also I; placed in shelter after being inspected and checked. In addition the quartermaster will have hundreds of minor things to care for and in his opinion thf new buildings are absolutely necessary. Maj. Penrose will have an immense task on hand in breaking camp and will he compelled to remain in his office at least a month after all the oilier officers leave the camp of instructions. Fooling Days are Past. The day for fooling the people has become a part of the past. The great mass of voters today do their own reading anid thinking and by keeping themselves informed on the causes and effects of governmental policies have placed themselves in position to decide intelligently upon their bourse of action. They have taken politics to their homes and analyzed ami digested it. They have studied the '.elation of pubHe policies to their personal wel-i fare and happiness and they have learned that there is something in the right of suffrage besideh keeping certain individuals' or sets of individuals in office. The spoils ol ixditics have lost their lustre with the average voter. He is now lcsU interested in what the officeholder is going to get out of office than in what the officeholder is going to do in office.

THE LEMON BOX

John Aidelman says his black girl has not had a new hat since Luaster bundav. He was ashamed to take the money but needed it. Louis Wickey was seen on the streets of Plymouth Monday attired in a heavy fur overcoat, and a pair of felt boots. Louis always was warm hearted. The fact that Metsker advocated the granting of the electric light contract to Snoeberger, was of itself evidence enough of crookedness, in the game. In the list of marriage licenses published in the Chicago News Thursday evening, occur the names of Herschel M. Tebay and Pearl Holem of Plymouth. Maybe they vtTc married but Mr. Tebay states most emphatically that such is not the case. The one-horse power gasoline engine used to turn the press at the Democrat broke down Mon day evening and the force had to run off the papers by hand. Ray mond L. overworked himself and fainted from exhaus'tion. The old pre'ss is pretty hard running. A farmer driving on a road near Hamlet .Monday, noticed a two-seated carriage approaching containing what appeared to be two Indian squaws. Two others wrapped in blankets were run ning beside the carriage on the road side: The farmer thought of an uprising. The outfit was found to be Messrs. Wm. Van gilder, I3d. Lacher; Jesse Mc Xeelv and Harry Bennett of Plv mouth, who were out on a fishing trij). They got chillv, and arraved themselves as stated above. The most amusing part of the in cident as -Ated " were the complimentarv term-? in which the quartet was addressing itself to the weather man, but that1 is not published. Two of Plymouth's young men one a business man ami the other a pencil pusher on the leading ncwsjÄiper of Plymouth, had a thrilling anVl exciting experience while in Lapaz on Sunday. The young men hied themselves to the little village in North township Sunday with the intention of spending the day at a picnic. Late :n the evening the young men decided to take a buggy ride with two of Lapaz's most charming voting ladies. As they were driving east from Lapaz their horse became frightened at some unseen object and made a lunge to one side. The result was that all four occupants of the rig were piled in a ditch at the side of the road. Xo one was seriusly injured although one of the ladies, so the boys say, sustained a slight njury. The boys returned to this city about midnight saying with the great poet, "How have the mightv fallen." A report gained wide circulation inthis city Friday evening to the .effect that George ("Runt") Bergman, the diminutive tailor of this city, had taken unto himself a bride. The fair one was reported being a popular young lady of Warsaw, who is employed as bookkeeper in a hardware store at that place. How the report was started seemi-s a mystery ,al though when the couple were comereq by a representative of this newspaper Friday evening they would neither confirm nor deny the report. At any rate the friends of Mr. Bergman cone lud ed that he had become a disciple of Hymen. Accordingly, when George and the young lady were at the Pennsylvania depot awaiting the arrival of the east-bound train 33, they were greeted with a shower of rice and old shoes. Today George wears a long watermelon smile and lie has his friends guessing. However, as yet, he has showed no symptoms of asking us to take a cigar with him. J. K. Marshall, the village cutup threw a boomerang Saturday which almost put that distinguished joker "on the lvitmmer." Tluirwday a gang of telephone linemen were employed on the roof of the building which Marshall's Dazaar occupies, stringing wires. The men were working near a chimney. Gene thought he would have a little, fun, "and so built a smudge fire in his stove. To his great amusement the men were dispersed, and were forced tc quit. Saturday morning they were again seen on the roof. Mr. Marshall once more stuffed hüs stove with excelsior, old rubbers etc. etc, and touched off-the charge. In two minutes Marshall's Uazaar resembled a small marsh fire. The room was filled completely with foul smelling smoke an'd vapors.' Gene doffed his vest and entered the battle. Seven buckets of water extin-guil-ihcd the fire and in a half hour more the smoke was driven from the röom. Explanations The linemen had plugged up Gene's chimney. a Somewhat of a sentsation was created in this city Monday afternoon by the attempts, all of which proved vain, of a young couple, handsome and wealthy, to become man and wife. "We care not for gold," quoth the youth,

MISS L. E "our only desire is to beccme as one, that the world permit our two yearning hearts to throb in unison." Mrs. Clauda Whitesell, the fair deputy-clerk, threw up her pretty hands and exclaimed "I can do nothing for you.. Badly as 1 hate to be the instrument of keeping two young souls apart, 1 must do my duty, I cannot grant you a marriage license." And thus in despair stood the young couple, blessed with youth, beauty and riches, all to no avail, they did not possess the requirements needed to secure the horrible- marriage license, they were poorer than the poorest swineherder. Fred II. Myers the business-like treasurer of Marshall county explained the affair. The couple had come all the way from New Yo'k City. Four times, at four different places had they attempted to secure a marriage license, that they might become man and wife . Four times they failed. And why did they fail? Simple enough, for two reasons. Firstly the girl was too young and had no relative to vouch for her, and secondly she admitted she was not a resident. Fie upon her nride. "She would not be classed as a Marshall county farmer," and so was gently but firmly refused her marryinjr permit, Frexl H. Myers (the same mentioned above) gleaned by personal interview the- fact that the couple was from NewYork. "He was a factory inspector, and 'she" wasi an actress, 'if you please. Papa and mamma had objected to their marriagfe and they had eloped.' Mr. Myers said that the vounp lady, was the most beautiful specimen ofwo man-hood lie had ever seen. Upon the advise of that county officer the young couple with determined faces, set out for good old St. Joe (Mich.) where they were attired a marriatre license could be secured with ease.
