Entered at the Postoffice at Plymouth, In s Kcond-cUH natter. Plymouth, Indiana, Nov. 11, 1909 WAS A JOLT TO LIQUOR SEEN BY REV. SHUMAKER IN THE INDIANA ELECTIONS. Deplores Results in Evansville and Terre Haute, But Rejoices Over Fort Wayne. Indianapolis, Nov. 4 Rev. K. S. Shuniaker, superintendent ot the Indiana Anti-Saloon league, had something to sav todav in regard to the results of the municipal elections in Indiana. The elections, as a -whole, furnished a good Ideal iA satisfaction to the anti-saloon league. Analyzing the election returns Mr. Shuniaker said : "The results of Tuesday's elections in many parts of the state are very gratifying to friends of good government.' The victory in Fort Wayne over the 'forces led by Steve Fleming is one of no small consequence. I think every one recognizes that the brewers got a black eye here in Indianapolis. Personally Mr. Gauss is a fine man, but voters were afraid to trust him because of backing .given him by thtä brewers. Never in the history of Indianapolis have the citizens of the capital city elected a better set of councilmen and the election ot" Mr. Collins as police juklge is a distinct recognition oi one whose fitness for the place is all that could be desired. "In Marion and Kokomo th results were very gratifying. "Of course we deplore the defeat of Mayor Nolan in Evansville and the fact that tire brewers won a signal victory in Terre Haute. "Without designing to criticize the Citizens Independent league of Terre Haute, I believe that the results there show that eTrrrts set forth to secure the nomination of decent candidates in the prrrraries are usuaMy productive of more satisfactory results. The citizens' independent league worked heroically against great odds and ad credit is due ""the members Of the league for the strong campaign -wliich they made, but had the energies o the law abiding citizens in Terre Haute been aroused before the primaries were held, as they were afterward, one- of the old parties undoubtedly 'would have secured the nomination of a clean candidate who would have been elected." Prosperity Has Arrived. Prosperity has arrived, according to a statement just issued by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. During September the business fof the country and the movement of railway freight cars reached proportions which excelled those of the same month last year. These improved" conditions are most pronounced in the coal and iron trades. The movement of lumber also was somewhat heavier. From Virginia an'd the Carolinas the shipment of lumber increased 5G per cent over September of last year. There iw&s a considerable slump in the receipts of grain and flour at thefour leadng seaports, amd the receipts of grain at fifteen of the principal interior markets likewise vere below the aggregate for Septem'Wr, .1008. A similar condition is Uncovered! in the shipment of packing house products from Chicago, the chief slump being in canned meats, which sh'ow a relative loss over the corresponding figures of 190S of approximately 45 per cent. The report shows that the September total of cars handled was 2,993,003, or almost 10 per cent in excess öf the corresponding month in last year. The Joys of Home. Now the nights are growing longer, and the frost is in the air and it is nice to hug the fireside in your trusty rocking chair with the good wife there beside you, feeding cookies to the cat, while the eMergetic children play the dickens with your hat. Oh, it is nice to look aroundyou, anfd feel that you're a king, that your coming home at evening makes your joyous subjects sing. So you read some twenty chapters of oM Gibbon's dooe on man bliss is in vour humble little man bliss is in your Imrrtblt little homie. There is really nothing better in thci way of human bliss, than to toxljdle home at evening, and get a welcome kiss.and to know the kids who greet you at the peagreen garden gate have, been waiting, broken hearted that you were two minutes late. There is nothing much more soothiry?, than a. loving woman's smile, when she sees your bowlegs climbing o'er the bargain counter stile. If you 'don t appreciate it then the rats are in your dome, for the greatest king a living is the monarch of the home.

SCHOOL LAND FUNDS JUGGLED

NO MORE INDESCRIMINATE APPORTIONMENT OF INTEREST. Law is Money Shall be Used Only for Benefit of Congressional Township. Indianapolis, Nov. 9. Ther is to be no more indiscriminate apportioning of interest derived from money obtained from the sale of congressional 'school lands, according to Robert J. Aley. state superintendent of public instruction, who is counting largely on the operations of rhe new public accounting law to assist him in enforcing the law covering this question. That the system of apportionment is rather loose and not according to iaw in a very large per cent of die counties has been disclosed lo the state superintendent by die anual reports from the couney superintendents of schools, .vhich are now being received. The congressional school funds are derived from the sale of lands originally set apart by Tigress for public school purposes. In each congressional township of 3' square miles, one section, a mile square, was designated a school section, andi by an act of congress, all revenues derived in any way from the land in the future shall be reserved foi common school purposes. The same act of congress requires that the revenues shall be apportioned for only that part of territory bounded by the six-mile lines of the congressional township in which it is situated. Failed to Observe Act. Up to 18!5, the county auditors failed to observe the act of congress and the revenues derived from the lands were placed in the general school fund and apportioned irrespective of the congressional township boundary lines. At that time a law was enacted by the legislature requiring that the auditor in each county establish a sqarate account for all congressional funds in which his county shared, and to retain these funds intact, apportioning them according to the congressional provision. Subsequent cases decided by the supreme court have upheld he statute, but the auditors have :f late years, lapsed into the former method of disbursing the -evenucs generally throughout their respective counties, some of them because they -were unacquainted with the law and were merely following the , methods adopted by a predecssor, and some of them, it is believed, because they found, it easier not to meet the requirements of the iaw. The question came up in a recent meeting of the auditors of the state, when it was disclosed that an undesirable condition existed concerning this question, and an effort was nfade to have he officials set right on the matter. Some, when they returned home and began to examine heir records, discovered that the accounts had either been badly handled, or had' been destroyed presenting difficult questions in the matter of establishing proper accounts as required by the act of 18C5. The auditor of Clay county found that all records of the sale of congressional township lands had been destroyed by fire in the fifties and that lie had on means of ascertaining wliat momvs rightfully belonged to the congressional townships in his county. He made an examination in this city, but failed to find any data by which he could make1 a correct apportionment, since the congressional revenues had long since been merged in the common school fund. In such a case, ami it is not yet known how miry similar ones exist, it will be necessary to establ fh in arbrrarv :-rportionment as far as can be made from which to make the .'.parate accounts. From Other Source; The conn ion school fniifl deirved from ne state 'um fro.n other entrees applied ge teraily o the count v is appo'V'oned to tin civil 'nships on the basi f the scho,)! enumerati i, hence :ut of the fund the cities larc better than the country, square mile for square mile. Since the auditors have thrown the congres sional revenue into this fund and haves apportioned it on the same basis, the cities and towns have benefited from the distribution at the expense of the country schools in a great many instances. For instance, a congressional township situated wholly within a county, lies outside the limits of a city. Under the law the revenues derived from the square nuile of school land within tlic township must be apportioned to that congressional township on- . Under the common practice the city shares equally with the congressional township territorychild for child in the apportion ment. 'Much complaint has been re ceived from a number of the cities aril towns of the stae con cerning the requirement of the ?tate superintendent that the law be followed, since in a number of instances it will mean the trans fer of comfortable funds from the city to country schools.

PARALLEL DISCOVERIES.

Discoverers Cook and Peary Not the First to Wrangle Some Simultaneous Discoveries There are numerous parallels for simultaneous discovery of great scientific principles. Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace were practically coincidental in their announcement of tiic theory of evolution, but it was Darwin that reaped the highest rewards of the world's honors. Fulton's name has been celebrfitcd as the inventor of the steamboat, but the discovery was made simultaneously with that of John . tevens. of Xew York, who really antedated Fulton, and steamed the Phoenix which was completed' the same year that witnessed the building of the historic Clermont by sea o the Delaware. If Fulton and Livinstone had lot had a monopolyof the Hudson for steamboats under the law of Xew York, it is more than probable that Stevens and the Phoenix would be honored instead of the Clermont and Fulton anil it would now be a HudsonSteven s celt bra t io n. Samuel F. H. Morse is honored as the discoverer of the electric telegraph, but a German. Steinhcilr hail made revolutionary progress in the same direction and demonstrated that the earth may be used as part of a telegraph cicurit. Morse's system however, was adopted by the Germans themselves and Steinheil's discoveries went for naught. The simultaneous announcement of the double discovery of the noth pole seems to complete a remarkably interesting series of historical and scientific parallels. Our National Finance.

ALCOHOL FOE TO WELFARE

CONGRESS HEARS REPORT AND ADOPTS PLAN TO TEMPERANCE Public School Teachers Urged to Discuss Subject Before Youth of Nations. Washington, Xov. 9. Alcohol and alcoholism are two of the real and substantial enemies of moral, artistic and commercial progress of the human race, according to the rejKrt of the United States delegates to the Twelfth International Congress on Alcoholism, made public by the State Department. The delegates were appointed by Secretary Knox as one of his first official acts. 1 he congress was held last July in London, and twenty-five governments were represented, the delegates of each concurring in the general finding that alcohol not only was unnecessary to human life and comfort, but was inimical to both. Three departments of the United States government were represented by delegates, the tate. Xavy and Treasury. Twelve representatives went abroad, and all of them signed the report made public today, the finding of which is to condemn the drining habit as dangerous to public health and morals and subversive of national, moral, commercial anU miliStarv greatness. Urge Rigid Restrictions. According to the report, the interest shown in the congress was greater than ever known before. Recause of the information evolved at the congress the delegates accepted the invitation of the Oueen of Hollond to hold their next meeting two years hence, at the Hague in conjunction with the conference of the committee that is woring hard for international peace. While the Congress urged the necessity of imposing the most rigorous restrictions on the sale of traffic in alcoholic liquors, it regarded as equally important the need of educating the younger generation to a true nowledge of vha alcohol is and what its effects upon the humane svstcm are. The delegates believe that the numerous recent discoveries as to the harmfulness of dninenness, should he set before children that they may see the danger of the practice. The American delegates sum up this phase of their report by saying: "Increased teaching as to its character ami influence should be provided, to conserve iudustrial efficiency in the commercial competition of nations, as well as to promote two of the chief objections of government, the onblic health and morals' The United States mailt a good showing in its exhibits. Germany also was to fore with a particularly fine collection of colored chartc showing the effect of alcohol on the bodv, the family and upon society. Especially effective it is sai I, were the stereonticon slides of the Xational Temper ance League of Great Rntan. Judges Present Records. Judge Y. F. Pollard of St. Louis, Mo., who presides at the Second District Police Court in that city, declared that of the cases passed upon by him fully 8.1 per. cent of those convicted could charge their depreciation to the r-e ot alcohol. Lieut. Col. Mc Hardy of Edinburgh, Scotland coincidc1) with Judge Poljard as to the percentage of crimes occurring in former Scotch capital. Pollard won the support of the delegates from twtinty-threc counties for the adoption of his plan to suspend sentence in the case of everv first offender 'who is brought into court charged with drunenncss. This involves such' first offenders sgining a pledge io abstain for one year. The nowlcdgc that one drin mav mean a prison sentense, Pol lard argued, cpt many a man straight until he had .come to collect himself. The penalty for failure to eep faith with the court was not settled, several of the delegates arguing in favor of various degreed of punishment. The principle, however, was regarded as admirable, and 400 delegates urged its adoption by the various governments of the world. Gen. O. O. Howard Dead. General Oliver O. Howard, last of the Union commanders of the Civil War, died at his home in Burlington, Yt., Tuesday light. Valvular lietart disease Was given as the cause of the noted s ier's death. He was.
