Editor Wadsworth, of the LaPorte Argus, is developing some strength as a congressional possibility in the Thirteenth district. He is a growl g favorite with the democracy of the district. He would no doubt make a good race. The Chicago Inter Ocean, that great republican newspaper, has not suffered by the recent era of financial depression but has gone right along adding to its foundation stones—a large and substantial circulation—with a stride that under the circumstances is truly wonderful. At one time additions to the subscription list were coming at the rate of 800 to 1,100 per day for the daily issue, and as high as 1,500 per J day for the weekly Inter Ocean. The | result of this is to place it easily at the ;' head of the list of great Chicago news- ' papers. It is certainly a good, clean, I family newspaper of the highest order. It has been decided by the Epworth League of the South Bend district to hold a League rally at Lake Maxinkuckee June 19 to 22. The plan is to combine healthful recreation with league work.

An excellent program has been prepared for the occasion. Speakers of national reputation have been secured, the best musical talent in the district will furnish music. There will be reduced rates on railroads and hotels. People can arrange to go in clubs, furnishing their own tents and provisions at a very slight cost.

M Schroeder states, will not be rebuilt this spring. Th«> town donated the ground for the creamery when it was started with the understanding that it was to be in operation a specified length of time. This agreement, it is claimed by some <>f the citizens, will lie violated if the creamery is not rebuilt this spring, thus causing the ground to revert to the donors. The matter is being looked into.

Edito i Independent : : ’ correspondent from Tyner \ City ii mistaken about a school teacher ' ’ D t township not getting any good । from Wie newspapers, etc. The first words he says are, “we are sorry,” which is a lie to start with. He is only gla<i to have a chance to try to slander some one or else to play a joke. 1 did not believe the item had any reference to me until several readers of your paper were asking me about it. As I take several papers continually, by the •Wb yours with the rest, I don't see !tw point he wishes to make. But if it j iA joke yon have your foot into things : wtirse than I or any of the teachers, for Inp teacher evor said or intended any- ; tking p{ (ho kind, and he only drew a ■ opDelusiou from what the Bremen Euqairer, Plymouth Republican and Di m I I I ■press myself iu opposition to certain '; us literature some newspapers |ftrm»h their readers. I believe I said “*’ r d* tfi® newspapers were uni a to read and take in•cbool for pupils to read as sup MMntnry reading, and I say that yet. And I will give you three of my reasons; First. Two thirds of the newspapers contain sensational fiction which tires tbe imagination an I aud passions u( our youth causing more evil than A.our saloons. Second. Blood and j Umnder stories, crime in detail, and । prixe fighls and scandul, personal and political, in their minutest details. These are the principal reasons »hv I made the objection I did that called up so much comment fiorn the different ' local papers 1 did not attack local any more than other papers. 1 know aometimoa it is necessary to Lave and ; the rending masses require some of the । above kinds of ri a.ling, but discriminn;lion to avoid extremes is necessary. ;As no teacher iu Polk township ever | made sneh a statement as your corros- ! pendent would make believe was said I have no reply to make to your comment on said item or explanation, for your profession was not attacked in that light. I have l advocated the use of local papers first, and other papers afterward. I did not get offended at . you (or you only did what most people I would do, “strike back, if struck.” Hoping this will make matters right and sooth your wounded feelings, I am yours respectfully, J. M. SI’HROEDEB. —- —• Any one wishing to buy a new I Waverly bicycle, one of the best wheels on the market, will learn someuhiijj to his advantage by calling on he editor of the Independent.
