Imperially th- .lkr P-oplf. -who ku-w him lst, will Krow r minii-cent of Jinli;e Huilard, as ih news of his demise; spreads. No -.- tenlf d obituary i necessary to remitul them of th steppinij-.tone.s in his career, each of which he mounted, and tilled the plate with courage ami fidelity, Passing away at the ,w of 71. he was still a son of .St. Joseph county; horn in live township and spending hi.s ntir life n the county, no man perhaps knew the country or its people better. With the advanrars of college and 11 ni crsity training. Jude Hubbard's breadth of view, as he looked out upon life, wa.s no doubt greater than that of many of his neiKh.or.s, but never using it to their disrulvantaKc, but rather to help them along, it is hut natural that he should ever have ben highly respected, and blessed with numerous honors. His record as judge from ISO I to l'JOO, placed him among the leaders of the bench and bar of the state. As state senator, back in the. early 70s. ho had previously endeared himself to the people through his manner of public service. Hut he has gone the way that all of mankind mast k, over the river to the illimitable realm of the Great Unknown. His ivork is finished. Much of it, fundamental in the life of tho community, will live cm and on, basic to the various stages of social evolution, to the end of time, indiscernable, perhaps, but still alive.. Such is the glory of these sturdy pioneers. We are wont to forget them in the rush of events, save on special occasions, but the thoughtful never fails to reflect them, upon their great good and service. This community may well mourn the passing of such men as Judgo Lucius Hubbard; mourn his passing, firstly, of course, for the service he has rendered, and for his example of manhood, but furthermore, as an appeal to others, the living, to render themselves equally worthy. It is such a respect as this, and worthy example, that among other tilings, rob.s death of its sting and the grave of its victory.

1IACKS." Aside from restoring to William Randolph Hearst ma's plantation and steers, and firmly establishing tho rights of certain Wall street Interests in Mexico, through intervention, or otherwise restoring order, among th big problems that will have to be solved will bo to lind proper disposition to be made of the country's fiat money. It is estimated that there have been nearly two billion dollars of engraved paper issued since the revo

lution began. For the last few months.! printing money has been Mexico's I

leading industry. The notes are called "nillcmbiques.' That is tho way a Mexican pronounces "William Weeks." The gentleman bearing that name v;n once a paymaster in Cananea. He was accustomed to giving the improvident peons orders for small amount.s during the week, to title them over until payday. Those orders, bearing his signature and accepted, by local merchants as currency, were nicknamed "Hillcmbitjues" (pronounced "billem-beeks") ind the name has now come to apply to all revolutionary currency. It is the Mexican for "Greenbacks." Carranza started the paper money industry with an issue of fi.00 0,00 pesos. The constitutionalists were then united and Huerta was losing criuiiul. The bills, receivable for taxes-, were readily accepted, and were quoted as high as T. rr:-.ts gold, about three-fourths the usual alue of a silver peso. A little later Gen. Villa asked and obtained permission to issue l,Cu0.00 pesos at Chihuahua. His printing outU was a small hand press, operated by 1 printer's devil. The stock of paper Save out. and the last quarter million notes were printed on scraps of w rapping paper. The printer, having l'.nished a million notes, went right on printing money foi- himself, and then 'ent the press and die to his friends, .ho did likewise. Villa shot the printer, but the harm was dom After that, issue followed isue in lizzy succession in virions parts of Mexico. All the rebel leaders printed noney. Naturally, the notes sank ower and lower. When the Amerians were at Vera Cruz, constitutbuiilist money wa worth '22. cents a peso. "ow it takes nearly $100 to buy a ;quaro meal. It's a good lesion for Mexico, though 1 costly one. in the value of sound noniy. backed by ar:serve.

tically everything rise was handled from the main office." Here it is again tiie old reliably irresponsible, soulless, conscienceless, money-grabbing "main office." Court-martial, suspension of all constitution', murder of miners over in West Virginia, with the "main otlie"' in New York, or Philadelphia, i:ninoved s-.ivt- by the temporary suspension of probts. Murder of women and children in Colorado, with the "main oilice" over in Tarrytown. N. V., praising God that It is one of the eiect and proht percentages arising. The 'main office" in the case of the Hlocurn, the Titanic and the I'astland, and thJ "main oilice" gets away every time! And if such as i'eilersen won't serve as "goat," the "main office" will hire other "goats-." Th' Kastland turned turtle because the main otlice" believed in "the public bo damned!" save as to the public's willingness to shell out 2o or 30 cents per head. Get up any old scheme to pluck 'em for a quarter or a half, and it goes. It doesn't make much difference whether the risk is that they be drowned, burnt, smotb vd, or mangled, the "main ciflce" ces the risk, and never has to pay for 1. No indeed! The 'main oilice" may hear the cry "women and children first!" but it grabs the first sea, in the first lifeboat. If It happens to be so infernally foolish as to be caught participating in the ris. Do you ever see any representatives of the "main office" among tha victims of these awful disasters? You do not. The "main office hires "goats." Evidence in the Fastland enquiry shows that the lake excursion steamers make a practice of counting tickets, instead of individuals, in checking the number of passengers allowed under their certificates. In other words, a mother carrying three babes count as one, two half fares as one, etc. .Shylock getting his full pound again! Lives don't count in the game except the pay-as-you-enter kind. Deadheads and under-age who come free go to their death free, if their added weight, perchance, tips the vessel over. Fair enough isn't it? Profitable, anyhow.

Joir . -d in the sinking, while the lemonrole stands near by did .1 rushing business and a negre sold sandwiches beneath the scaffold. Hue of the negroes confessed to hi? erino killing a railroad porter and implicated the other. Then the trap waj sprung, the picnic ended and the thousands went quietly to their homes Now, that may not be exactly an id . 1 1 way to execute murderers, at least from a northern standpoint. Certain elements of it jar delicate sensibilities. And yet, to any one who observed that on the same day two negroes were lynched In Sawenee, Okla., and another in Trilby. Fla.. it may have occurred that perhaps Starkville, Miss., has solved the south's problem of dealing with negro criminals. Starksville made a picnic of its execution; but or .uaybe because of that very fact it executed the negroes legally. Whatever desire for crude mob vengeance existed was softened and satisfied. And after that experience, it will doubtless be long before that section of the south reverts to the old lynching method.

NOT NIMILAK CASKS. Sen. Lodge queries, anent Bryan's peace plan: When the (lag was fired on at Ft. .Sumter, should we have waited a year? Chances are that if the people of the United States could have then foreseen the horrors of the succeeding years, they would have been waiting yet. I Jut the cases are not analogous. The confederacy was not a recognized nation. Kight or wrong in principle, the firing on Ft. Sumter was an act of treason, punishable under the constitution of the United States. Wo are not necessarily defending Mr. Uryan's arbitration treaties. Hitter experience has proved that peace treaties are apt to become moth eaten unless cannon balls are freely used as a preventative. Hut we are for any kind of an understanding between nations that will stave off war until they have time to weigh cause and effect in the balance.

fiOOl) KIDDANCH. Pacific Mail Steamship Co. definitely fixes Nov. 1! as the date for its withdrawal from trade as an American concern. The reason is that, under the IaFollette law. It cannot have Chinese crews, which are cheaper than American crews and cannot understand orders in times of catastrophies like the sinking of the Titanic. Let the Pacific Steamship Co. withdraw, anil he hanged! If there are any other American passenger carrying concerns that eliminate American labor with Chinese, at the risk of American lives, let them also withdraw! Such concerns are tbo heathen for America. And now just a word for those dear, anxious, lovable and very good, patriotic standpatters who have been weeping over the threat of the liobt. Dollar Steamship company to abandon American registry, as a rebuke to the LiFollette seamen's law. They should dry their tears. Old man Dollar runs up the American flag because German gunboats were after him. and he did it with the specification that lie would wear that flag only during the war. When he gets through using our flag, you won't hear him threatening our laws. Mr. Dollar is strictly after the dollar. sriisTiTi ri: rou lynching. Starksville, which is in Mississippi, has found a substitute for lynching that is worthy of comment. Two negroes were hanged down there the other day, and tho circumstances of the execution have been made the ground for much criticism, which in a sense, at least, appears to us not justified. If capital punishment is to bo a deterrent, as its saviors contend, vvhy not push it to the limit, and let it deter. The Starksville case was made the excuse for a community holiday. Tho gallows was set up in a public place, in a sort of natural amphitheater. A great crowd assembled early in the morning and renu.ined all day. The local merchants had increased the size of the assemblage by clever advertising, and benefited accordingly. It happens that a hot campaign is in progress in Mississippi, and political candidates used the opportunity to address the throng from tho scaffold. At noon i.OOu picnickers ate their luncheon around tho gallows. Tho condemned negroes had been regaled with cake nnd watermelon sent them by white citizens. They marched to the scaffold, flanked by tho sheriff and his deputies and tuo colored ministers. There was prayer, in which the prisoners joined. Then a minister lined out the hymns. "The e is a Land of Pure Delight." and the one beginring "Net Jordan's stream nor death's cold Mood could frighten from the shore." and the whole CJowd

THOSi: STK.M)i:i TOU1USTS. The record of the American tourists stranded in Europe last year and brought home through tho help of Uncle Sam is not flattering. From first

1 to last, they seem to have imposed

on Uncle's good nature. To begin with, they raised Cain because tho government didn't instantly dispatch, a battle lleet to round them up and bring them homo when they were caught in the war zone without cash. And then, when the government opened its treasury" and paid their fare homo, about half ci them accepted the money as a gift, in spite of an explicit understanding that it was merely a loan. .Such, at least, Ls the logical gist of a report published by the state department of half a million dollars appropriated by congress and advanced to tourists, only about $260,000 had been repaid at the end of June. There is no disposition to press those who really desire to pay. Hut as for the others, the attorney general threatens to enter suit and publish their names if they persist in ignoring the obligation. And hero is hoping ihat the attorney general will have the sand to do it.

looks mi:an, wi: kix-kox. In the first place Great Britain's intimation that Uncle Sam ought to be .satisfied with his big balance of trade, notwithstanding what Great Fritaln is doing to his trade with neutrals, is a bit insulting. It is like saying to him, "Look at your sales never mind your delivery!" In the second place, it appears that Great Britain's exports of cotton goods and yarns to Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands have enormously increased, which ruakes Britain's awful yell against Uncle's cotton trade with those very countries look lik j a dirty tr lo trick.

PLAYING BOTH i:.M)S. Count Von Ileventlow characterizes Boumania's neutrality "malevolent," which shows what a hazardous undertaking it is to play both ends against tho middle. If Greece enters tho war on the side of tho allies, which appears to he down on the cards. Boumania. will find

j herself in a very precarious predica

ment, trying to keep neutral. Xort of "Heads I win. tails you lose," proposition for her.

I'd rather live single straight goods this to you Than marry the creature that some fool girls do A stuffed "Tailor Made." with a heart cold as lead; A weak clothes-pin man, with a shell peanut head! F. L. T. T IF inhabitants of Dunkirk are taking their vacations on the installment plan the same as we are. but not for tho same reason. Tho big German gun in Flanders drops a shell into Dunkirk every five minutes. After each explosion tho people emerge from their bomb proofs and transact business for four and a half minutes. After all, this plan has its advantages over a picnic on a rainy day. AIDS to matrimony are numerous if one has the ingenuity or good fortune to hit upon them. A girl in a Chicago street car thanked a young man for giving his seat, and he was so impressed by the unusual acknowledgment that he hunted her up and married her. Opportunities of this kind, girls, occur every day. THE situation In Europe seems to confirm the headline announcement of "Little Signs of Peace in Big War Zones." If they pxfst thev aro too small to he perceptible to the naked eye. Another of UHa's Quip-. - (Columbia City Post). Chas. Lamb, the paint salesman, has conceived a problem which has caused him some study and he has not been able as yet to solve it. Ho is asking accountants of this city to

come to his rescue and work out the problem for him. If certain articles were given to a person and he sold them, six for a ruckle, or twdve for a nickle what would his ra e of profit be? What do you say it would be? THE HE are signs that Europe is going dry. It was the sense of tho Muen-hener Medizinisohe Wochenschrift in session assembled that beer brewing ought to be given tip until the war is over and the birley used in bread making, and that if this cannot b? brought to pass, th? brewers output at least ought to o greatly minimized, on the theory that beer as a food merely represents a dietetic luxury. The significant thing about this theory is that it was made in Germany. A HEP. it 1 ex PUIXGS party advertises "Belgian hares for sale." and adds. "If you have any old guns or pistols about the house that are of no use to you. bring them to me; I'll buy them." Which is our idea of T.OO Fahrenheit in association. THE theory that in the . beginning civilization followed tho sock is enunciated by scientific authoritios, and in yievv of the modern tendency to pursue hosiery we can readily accept it. WE concur with our neighbor to the left in the unanimous character of the hyphen in distinguishing citizens of the United .States. If one is a born or naturalized American, ho is an American, and nothing else. The hyphen .nerely connects un his antece

dents, which wo care nothing about. ;

Till: riGIIT-AND-KUN POLICY. Tho Iiussian army is continually proving the philosophy of the old rhyme: ' He who fu-hts and runs away Will live to light another day." They run wnei; the running is good and tight when the fighting is good. I respect for Russian generalship, which was at a low ebb after the

Kusso-Japanese war, is fast reachin high water mark again.

It is highly gratifying to learn that the net increase of our foreign popuition in the last year has been less than 4S.f0O, the smallest number of immigrants in any year since 1SS9. The behavior of our foreign-born population since tho war began has not been such as to aiuke native Americans yearn for any immediate increase of alien raw material.

BALD BEARING; DONG WKARIXO If a manufacturer heard of a machine (hat would cut his cost of production 10 to 20 percent, he would investigate the proposition thoroughly. If, as an ofTice manager, you heard of a typewriter that would reduce the cost of producing correspondence, bills and all typewritten matter an equal amount, could you aiTord to stay in a rut and not investigate? Your typist can reduce the cost of production by an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter. This is not merely a theoretical claim, because we have proven it by records of specific cases where every key stroke was counted and recorded mechanically for a long period of time. One of the principal reasons for this showing is the fact thit the L. Q Smith & Bros, is the only typewriter with ball bearings at all the busiest working parts the typebar joints, the carriage and the"capital shift. You will saVe money by investigating. L. C.
