BOURBON MINISTER SAYS "GIVE THE CHURCH TIME TO ACHIEVE." Rev. John F. Bailey Pastor of M. E. Church at East Town Writes Concerning Attack To the Plymouth Tribune: I note in the Tribune of November 4 an article with the caption: "Where Do They Get Their Booze?" which seems to be a brief of the sermon preach eil bv Rev. Warein. I feel that some of the statements found therein should not go unchallenged. 1 am somewhat surprised that a man who lias been raised1 to such a responsible position as Governor, should make, statements so palpably at variance with the facts as those quoted by my Brother Minister. 1 am somewhat surprised that the article which purports to be a report, and for whose unquoted language your paper assumes responsibility, this language should appear. "Among the many things which he said two or three points are worth hearing again." When the Governor trsed that sentence beginning, "Why when the average man joins the church" he may have been telling all that ho received. But I am loathe to believe that even the one church to which the Governor belongs has such a narrow sphere of usefulness I am sure that the great Presbyterian church should never be scandalized in such a shameful, and shall I say, ignorant way? When the Christian church produces such sterling character as the Governor's pastor attributes to him during his contest for his present honors. , surely it does (more than allow him to help pay the preacher. I just now reflect that it may elevate some men much to help support the Gospel. Pessimism lis the announcement of a narrow vision (bounded by ignorance. Every calamity howler is himself the only calamity connected with his howling. The arraignment of the church is so palpably untrue that there is no danger that any one who knows much about the work of the church will be misled by it. But -when it is saidof it by a minister that"It is so near right that it hurts to have it said," I feel Tiome one should object. It loes not hurt much to have it said by Mr. Marshal, hut it is serious . when sanctioned by a preacher. If I felt it true I would

t WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1st, at 8 o'clock, I assume control and ownership of the business which was for forty-three years under the name of W. ALLMAN'S BIG STORE, and is located on East side of Michigan street, next door to Soice's Hardware store, Plymouth. Hereafter this two-floor store will be occupied by THE BOSTON STORE, Bert Allman, Manager, which firm we shall endeavor to make favorably known to every man, woman and child in Plymouth and surrounding country. The policy of tbe house will be: Absolute INTEGRITYSATISFACTIONACCOMMODATION; with the purpose of winning and holding the confidence of every individual that enters its doors.

Under no circumstances will the house sanction any word or

Whenever mistakes happen as happen they must the house will consider it a privilege to correct them with promptitude and courtesy. The spirit of Accommodation will rule, and in the treatment of patrons and visitors this spirit will be developed to the fullest possible extent. " y These are a few of the principles the foundation stones upon which this new business will stand. But greatest of all is that unequaled principle that unshakable rock True Integrity, upon which everlasting foundation this business will be fixed so firmly that it will become a part of the rock itself. We shall make a number of sharp reductions in prices of such goods as must be sold a work which will begin this morning and continue until the desired result that of putting stock into the best possible conditionis accomplished. We may add that no formal opening is possible at present. This important event will occur next spring, due notice of which will be published. We therefore extend to all in and around Plymouth a most cordial invitation to count this store as their own; to be free to feel perfectly, at home; to depend upon it; tc criticise it to its manager, by which criticism we expect continually to iinprove it and make it more and more as you, the public, would like it.

BERT ALLMAN, Proprietor. P. S Store will be Closed all day, Tuesday, November 30th, for Inventory, and will

never announce its truth to a congregation to which I had given more than a year of my time. I wouIVl: have made things better than that or I would have left the city at the end of my first year. I am sure that "Every young pastor who has rich blood in his veins" should be careful not to lose his bead and rush into the lime light whenever a megophone is -soun'ded on the street. We think it -was very unbecoming even the Governor to make such an arraignment when the church had builded the platform from which he was haranguing. It is little becoming a son to spit in the face of the mother that bore him. It is little becoming a minister to berate the church that has brought lirm from a life of sin to the exalted position of leadership. Had not so many preachers with more zeal than knowleilufe fallen into the habit of following with sanction the unwarranted statements of those who 'would destroy us, the Church would have been much stronger than she now is. If prominent laymen and young preachers would quit their "knocking" and get busy doing something then we would accomplish more. Church weakness as well as business calamities too often comes from advertising unduly and often untruly the weaknesses instead of making busy doing something. "Knockers anhls enhunitv howlers are among

S the most grevious of our enemies. T believe in the Church. She has done more than all other organizations for the uplift of men. She hns not yet, done enough, rive her time and she -will achieve in spite of the inner foibles. Respectfully , Rev. Ino. F. Bailev Pastor M. E. Church Bourbon Death of Horace Whitlock. Horace B.

TWO THEORIES CONCERNING TYPHOID FEVER

J. S. Martin City Health Officer of Plymouth Explains Accepted Reasons for Development that Disease. PREVENTION IS THE WEAPON EITHER WAY Prevalence of the Disease in Autumn is Explained Cannot be Caught Direct From an Afflicted Person. There have been many opinions advanceJJ as to the origin of the specific poison of typhoid fever and how the typhoid bacillus enters the human system, all of which are plausible and of great interest to the medical fraternity, but for the information of health officers ami the people, two distinct views have been universally accepted ymd entertained, both of which have been abundantly proven to be correct and all that is sufficient for our instruction and consideration. One of these views is, that the poison is specific in its nature, and derived only from some pre-existing case of the disease; the other, that, while usually produced in a person suffering from the fever, it may also be generated anew by the decomposition of sewage and animal filth. Fortunately, the practical issues of both theories are the same, namely, that the great preventive measure is the prompt removal of fecal matters, both animal and hitman, from barnyards and privy uits alike. It is accepted on all ha mlts by the high est authoiittes, both medical and sanitary, at the present day, that the typhoid poison is reproduced in the system during the fever, and that its exclusive" outlet is the intestinal discharges. There is no evidence at. all, that it is conveyed! by the breath, the perspiration, or the urinary secretions, hence there is no danger of taking the disease by simply breathing the air when in a room Where a typhoid patient lies, but the infection is ever present in the feces. These uave not, at " e mbmen t of their passage, their full viruJence, but requires for its full devcloment, a certain period of time, under certain conditions. These conditions that intensify the poison, are a concentration of the infested discharge, seclusion from the open air, warmth, liquifiaction and fermentation. Thi increase by fermentation of fecal matter explains ae autumnal prevalance of tvhopid fever. J. S. Martin, City Health Officer Charged With Assault. Dr. Thurston Selfridge of Bu : Oak, was arraigned in Seybol l's justice court Thursday afternoon charged with assault and battery upon the person of Frank Fairbanks a,t Burr Oak on the night of November 2n 1.

WRITES FROM DAKOTA.

Harold North Receives Many Surprises in the Wheat District Near Ellendale, The following communication from Harold, the sixteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. North of this city, who has been spending the past few months at Ellendale, and Merricotirt, Xorth Dakota, will be interesting to the many friends of the young man in Plymouth : Editor Tribune Plymouth, Ind' It seems a long time since I left Plymouth, and I have neglected to write to many of my friends. While in Merricourt I received papers etc., from friends back home, for which- I -wish to extend my heartfelt thanks. Since my advent into Dakota I have had quite a number of inforesting experiences, many of which have been great surprises to me, and believe me, all of which liavc been highly instruc tive to a lad raised in Plymouth. For nearly three months, I lived with a gang of twenty of the "hardest customers" one would' wish to meet. They were men of the rawest type, whose habits are all bad, consisting mostly of drinking gambling, etc. The longer I lived with these fellows the more I desired to get away, but mv life with them was not without its remuneration. It was quite an experience to be near them and hear their views on life. Out of the whole bunch there was not one but what believed there was some higher power than man, and they thought that this power might as well be named God as any other name. That is all the farther they go. They don't let their mind rest on what is after death. They don't care. If they do think of it they say they got the blues and go get a drink. They have no amhition and seem to be living a too easy life to turn away. All they think of is to earn a lit tie money so they can have a good time in some large city. Their good time though, looks awful slim to me. I have become used to land being 'divided off in quarter sections and now lfiO acres looks very small. I helped cut and thresh fortyone thousand bushels of grain. I have helped handle over fourteen hundred dollars worth of grain a day. I have helped run a ; gasoline engine that broke 2." or 30 acres of land a day and pulled 10 plows, which 'is a small gamg plow here. I certainly have; had some new experiences. I also have, seen as high as seven threshing outfits threshing within a short range of each other. I have seen one elevator in the small town of Merricourt dump wagon loads of grain all day just as fast as the machinery could work. Out of the little town of Merricourt over one half million bushels of grain was 'shipped, aside from that many of the farms have their own elevator in which they stored their grain, and besides' this, thousands erf bushels of grain were loaded into cars bv ' the farmers at the railroal dump and this is not OF

counted in the one half million bushels. That certainly was a wonderful sight to me. The roads out here are fine, better than any pavement, they are smooth and hard. Because'of the traffic of the numerous heavy grain wagons, some of the main roads are worn so deep that they have to be abandoned. New roads are made by a wagon driving a few times over the prairie. I can easily see bow tbe immense droves of buffalo could leave behind them a road as smooth as the fl.Tor. As my mind ceases to give forth more experiences I must close, Your friend, Harold North.

INDIANA CORN. Quality and Quantity are Both Good. Careful and Sure Methods. Indiana and her sinter states in the Ohio valley have saved the day in this year's corn circles according to the government crop report issued Monday. An even forty bushels to the acre is credited to the old H,osiei commonwealth, and this is away above any other state except Ohio which creeps dangerously close with 30.r bushels average. In quality of yiehl Indiana too wins high laurels. The estimated condition of corn November 1 in the state is !U. Two states record 92 South Dakota and Minnesota neither of which are great corn states. But one other state reaches a quality mark over 00 an'd that is another state not noted for its corn, Georgia. When the grand average for the United States is 84, and the average yield onliy 25.4 bushels, it can be seen how far Indiana has fyone in lifting the total average for the country. " About the next important feature of the report for Indiana farmers to notice is that this year's corn crop is second only to that off 100G, when a new record for this country was set. The yiehl then was. '2,927,000,000 bushels? This; year is estimated at 2.7 f,7. 000.000 bushels almost 99000000 bushels over the final report of last year. Of this ninetynine million increase Indiana alone has contributed 'sixty millions over last year's crop. Surely this is enough to turn the head of the most modest Hoosier farmer. Part of this wonderful record set by Indiana has been due to greatly increased acreage, but not altogether, for the careful and sure methods of the Indiana farmer must receive a large share of the credit. The figures for Indiana this year and last are: 1909, 190,520,000 bushels.: 190S, 137.S35.000 'bushels. The yield per acre jumped from .10.3 bushels to even 40 bushels. Married in Clerk's Office. Wesley Bradley 45, and Alma Reed 25. of Hibbard, were united in marriage in the office of the county clerk, by Justice V. P. Kirk, Thursday morning.

TEST IS ON.

Big Water Rights Case May be Settled as Resuit. Engineers interested in the big water rights case, which has been On trial for five weeks, in the South Bend superior court, are making a special survey of the St. Joseph river between the South Bend and Mishawaka dams under, the supervision of Judge VanFleet for the purpose of determining some points now at issinei in the case. This important matter was decided at yesterday's session of the court. An engineer for each side is in the survey and Jmjge VanFleet will act as referee of all disputes that may arise. It is planned to lower the water two feet at the South Bend dam for the tests to determine what effect this will have on the races at the Mishawaka dam. While the survey and measurements are being made the various- manufacturing concerns will leave the water as nearly as possible at a natural state. This water test will be completed by Monday and may settle the case.,Jf it does not the trial may take two weeks more. RAILROADS & COMMERCE. In 20 Years United States Has Built More Railroads Than England and France. Our railroad trackage main track and sidings is. 350,000 miles in length and this would giHJle the equator fourteen times. In twenty years we have. built more railroad mileage than Great Britain and France Combined in fifty years. Two-fifths of the world's entire railroad trackage is laid down in Uncle Sam's territory. We have more than five times the allotment of railroad mileage in Europe for each ten) thousand inhabitants, the figures heing: Twenty-seven miles in the United States; five miles in Europe. Moreover our railroad capitalization a mile of railroad is less than one-fourth of that of Great Britain on the same basis. We are moving freight at the rate of a billion gross tons a year and to do this we employ nearly two million an!J a half freight cars, and nearly fifty thousand locomotives. We import about 19 million gross tons of merchandise yearly, and export - about fifty-two million gross tons. Our foreign trade shows a return of $3,000,000,000, and our domestic trade one of $21,000,000,000 annually. One-half of the world's ocean commerce moves along north Atlantic routes, and for the greater part of it our foreign trading is responsible. At this its volume is" a Sdrop in the bucket as against the . great trunk-line tonnage in this country. Autombatic Butler.
