Plymouth, Indiana, Nov. 24, 1910. TOM TAGGART TO FORCE ISSUE IN LEGISLATURE SAYING THAT PLEDGES TO BE FULFILLED 'Boss" of Indiana Democracy De clares for Graduated Liquor Licenses and Members of Assembly Will Act. Indianapolis, Nov. 18. Tom Tag gart is still the big man of the Indiana 'democracy ,the former national chairman being the central figure at the meeting of democrats in this city yesterday the politicians having as sembled here to be present at a ban quet gi.'en as part of the celebration over the victory scored at the polls Nov. 8. Taggart still in power and with him taking a firm stand for the fulfillment of all platform pedges the repeal of the county option law by the state legislature is now practically a certainty. Following Taggart '& idea the general assembly will pro- ' bably declare in favor of graduated liquor licenses. Taggart 's idea is that liquor lie enses in the larger cities should be of the state. He will resist an at tempt to reduce license fees, and wil defend the remonstrance laws now in existence. Plums Not Distributed. It has been said that no distribtion of "plums" has been made by the leaders and that every state officer must take care, of his own staff. -However, the officials-elect have compared that Dale Crittenberger of Anderson will be secretary of the senate. Adam Wise, of Plymouth has an nounced himself as a candidate for speaker of the house and there is much talk as to the manv other can didates. W .W. Spencer of Indian apolis is said to be making . vigor ous campaign. William O'Brien .elected auditor of state said that John E. Ketd pre sent deputy has consented to remain in office. Mr. Reed was Mr. O'Brien's opponent for the office of auditor, on the republican ticket. Procter May be Leader. Senator Rooert E. Proctor of E'Uhart is in line for the democratic floor leadership of the senate. He was in town last night circulating among the rest of the democrats. He said he wa not a candidate for anything, but that some of the demoorali had asked him to take the honor. Senator Stotsenburg of New Albany, is also a candidate for the leadership. Taggart Keeps Out. Thomas Taggart says he is not going to take any hand in the selection of appointees in any of the state offices. He says he will not recommend nor indorse anyone for any position. No onb has any idea of what a job it is for these newly elected officers to make these selections, he said I know. But I am not going to take I konw. But I am not going to take any hand in it thisyear . I am sure that the new officials will choose wise ly and well and that they will get good men for the places." Send in Too Mach. A drawer full of dollar bills in the office of the secretary of state attest the elbging of the old-time custom of paying that sum for a county officer's commission. Newly elected county officers numbering nearly 700 are receiving commissions from the secretary of state as fast as the clerks can write them. But the fee is only sixty cents now. Hence several hundred officers will get a refunder of forty cents at the cost of much extra trouble in the state office Pay Interest Only Yearly. Interest on deposits in postal savings banks will be paid only once a year. The board of trustees, which is composed of Postmaster General Hitchcock, Attorney General Wickersham and Secretary MacVeagh, have decided upon that interpretation of the law. Interest will be computed only from the first day cf the month, following the date of deposit will not be payable until the first twelve months have elapsed.

WALKS HU SOUTH BEND TO PLIOUTH
YOUNG MAN MEMBER OF PEDESTRAIN CLUB SETS LOCAL RECORD FOR HIKE Makes Twenty-Five Miles Over Mich igan Road in 5.50 Actual Walking Time Challanges All Comers "Easy as falling 'off a log," said J. C. Hiss, aged 24, when he arrived in Plymouth at 1 :.0 o'clock Sun day afternoon, after walking the twenty-five miles overland, from South Bend to this city. Hiss followed the Michigan road, and remarked that had it not been for the strong head wind, and muddy spots the walk would have been a most enjoyable ramble. Hiss is a member of a pedestrian organization, at the Bend, which lielieves that walking contains a panacea for all ills, and that great health, happiness, joy, and riches, are to be obtained directly, or indirectly by "Hoofing it", freely A crowd -of young people have been engaging in long walks ,from South Bend, the hike to Mishawaka and back being considered tame. Yester day, three young ladies walked to Niles Mich., and back. A lth the drill from South Bend ,however, Hiss holds the temporary long distance record for the city of South Bend which now challanges all comers. Hiss said that the Plymouth hike, was only a beginner, that it' could not stand lonsr as a record. The young man left South Bend ,at 7:00 o'clock Sunday morning, stopped 40 minutes at Lakeville for breakfast took plenty of time - and reached here at 1 :30 P. M., making the twenty-five miles ,in five hours and fifty minutes actual walking time. "Any one who thinks that they can cut any time off that hike ,is welcome to trv', concluded Mr. Hiss, as he hoarded the 8:33 Vandalia train, north, bound for South Bend, and home Monday morning. Hiss y a nephew of Charles Hiss, who resides west of this city ,and is known by a number of the young people of 1 ly mouth. BRUCE JOSEPH IN KANSAS. Writes Interesting Descriptive Letter Showing That Some Things Are Not Lovely There. H. B. Joseph is traveling through Kansas selling the Malleable stee range which he is of course, able to prove best cook stove ever invent ed. Writing from Salina, one of the fine town in central Kansas, he tell:; a friend of the wonderful products . f that wonderful state, including not only its crops and its grasshoppers, but its celebrated people from John Brown down to Carrie Nation; and ; incidentally describes some of its i railroads as not the best in the world. The letter is too long for publication, but H. B. Joseph says the Missouri Pacific belongs to a family in Wall street ,that buys princes, dukes, cats, dogs and many . other foreign products in the open market. He says the Madison branch of this road cannot be describe by any adjectives in the English language. This branch is 108 miles long and requires nine hours for trains to make the run. At one of the stations on this road an evangelist hung up the sign "Where do you expect to spend eternity. ' ' A way f arer appended this answer "On the Missouri Pacific. He says it is reported that a train on this road-once actually caught up with a cow and killed her, but it was on down grade. "While everything else in every civilized country in the werld has progressed, the road-bed and equipment of this Madison branch is worse and more antiqueted than the equipment of the poorest road a half century ago. But there people get when traveling on this road, it is the feeling of being a pioneer and getting a glimpse of pioneer days, that cannot be obtained anywhere else. There is always something of interest in the worst predicament in which one can be placed if one is able to find it, and Mr. Joseph can always find it especially if it appeal ti the humorous or ridiculous side oi humfin nature. WATCHES HEALTH OFFICERS Dr. J. N. Hurty, of State Health Board. Gets Two Sets of Reports Then Compares Date. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the silte Board of Health had adapted a plan to determine whether the county health commissioners are performing their duties. -During the last month he wrote to physicians, school superintendents and township trustees in counties where it was suspected that the health commissioner was negligent, asking for reports on all deaths, contagious diseases and epidemics. Later; wher. the health commissioner's monthly report indicated that there was "nothing doing," Dr. Hurty was armed with facts sufficient to constitute a 'case' against the physician. Dr. Hurty challenged the truthfulness of two reports during the last month and threatened buster proceedings for the non-performance of duty and a suit against the commissioner's boncis I men for the same reason.

GO. IS SHORT ES CONTRACTOR SAYS THAT DEAL IS ON TO FURNISH SOUTH BEND LINE WITH MONEY Work Has Temporarily Stopped On Account of Lack cf Funds Promoters Are Still Optimistic. O. A. Wilkins of Wyatt, who has the contract for furnishing ties and crossing plank, for the South Bend Logansport Interurban line, was in Plymouth for a few hours today, and spoke to a reporter for the Tribune concerning the tardy interurban line, which has this city for its goal, from South Bend. Mr. Williams is in close touch with the affairs of the interurban company, and said that operations have ceased on account of a lack of funds. " A deal is now on however", said Mr. Wilkins, whereby the promoters expect to acquire the necessary finances to continue, and completed the road. There are still a few acquisition of the badly needed funds. One of these is the disagreement over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad crossing at Lapaz. The railroad company has been holding up the interurban line, in refusing to deal for the crossing. However, in the opinion of Mr. Wilkins this problem, with the others will be surmounted, when the all necessary money is realized. Wilkins was a former resident of this city, being engaged with C. L. Morris, in the lumber business.' He left here two years ago, and established a mill at Wyatt. ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING DATES BACK TO 1607 WHEN COLONISTS LANDED IN ARMERICA. After Close of Revolution Marked Tendency Deveoped to Make Day Regular Institution ' The origin of TJianksgiving Day dates back into early history, where we learn that the earliest Thanksgiving service was held by the Church of England men the Pouham colonists who August 9, 1G37 0. S.), landed upon Monhegan, near the Keiinebec and under the shadow of a high cross listened to a . semon by Chaplain Seymour, "giving good thanks for our happy meetings and safe arrival into the country." vNext we pass to Plymouth where in 1021 ,the autumn after the arrival a notable Thanksgiving was held. The brief accounts present a joyous picture. As we learn from Winlow the harvest being gathered, the governor "sent four r-irn out fowling, that so we might after a sjeeial manner, rejoice together." in 102J there is no mention of Thanksgiving but in 1623 a day wjis kept not, however, in the autumn as a harvest festival, but in July, upon the arrival of same provisions. After this nothing more is heard of Thanksgiving at Plymouth for nealy half a century. Distant religious societies, however hay have kept occasional Thanksgiving as the people at Barnstable observed Thanksgiving on December 22, 1030, and December 11, 1039. In the Massachusetts colony the first Thanksgiving was held at Boston July 8, 1030, it being a special . evasion having no reference to harv.ts. In 1G37 there was a Thanksgiving for victory over the Pequots, and in 1628 for the arrival of ships and or the harvest. The Thanksgivir Days from 1634 to 1084 numbered about twenty-one ,or less than one in every two years. From this period until 'the Revolution a Thanksgiving of some kind occurred nearly every other year, and even twice in the same year, as in 1742. Some of these days were appointed by the royal governors while again they were ordered by the king or queen or by the home board of trade. After the close of the Revolution a tendency to make Thanksgiving Day a regular institution in New York was at once npparent and Gov. John Jay in 1795 issued a proclamation for the 11th o November. At an early period also the mayors of New York were accustomed to appoint a day of thanksgiving in accordance with the recommendations of the council ,and that of December 10, 1799, appears to have been the first so ordered. Yet the observance of the day until Governor Clinton's time was more or less broken. The festival was kept however, by Episcopalians acordicng to the provisions of the Prayer Book, other religious bo.iies at the same time following their own preferences. At the east end of Ixng Island there was no little murmuring because the day did not coincide with the local custom. It appears the leople of South Hamilton observed Thanksgiving on the Thursday after the cattle were driven home from the common pastures at Montauk point, the day of the return of the cattle being fixed annually with due solemnity, at the town meeting. Hence there was a collision and the herdmens were divide striving as the herdmens of Abram's cattle strove with those of Lot. Here was the beginning o fthemovement which led to the first p-esidential proclamation nationalizing Thanksgiving Day.
