THE RADICAL MAN. The rascal map is of very little good to any cause. You will find him in religion, politics aud in many walks of life: but scarcely, if ever, in successful business. He discredits all opinions unless they coincide with his own views. He is apt to become abusive if any of his ideas are questioned. And he lives in a continual turmoil with his acquaintances. Quite frequently you will find the Radical Man endowed with a nose long and pliable. seemingly made so that it may wander in and out of private affairs. The Radical Man usually lives his life void*, of ..warm friendships accorded to the Sensible Man of whom we shall speak next week. A Joker that was undoubtedly unintentionally, was discovered in the new fish and game law by Representative Esch ba ugh. lhe clause referred to provides that it shall be the duty of the fish commissioner to stake out certain shallow places in the lakes where fish are bedding and to provide a heavy penalty for trespassing or fishing in the tracts laid out. It was pointed out that should game wardens be unfriendly to the local cement company they could stake out the marl land of the factory and put them out of business. An amendment was prepared which provides that nothing in the bill should be construed to interfere with digging of marl or other minerals used Jn manufacturing. Ihe bill was roughly drafted at a meeting of the WaWasee Protective Association held last August, by the late Daniel Zook. We are pretty certain that Mr. Zook had no ulterior intent as the bill was written in the presence of the Associa-; tion and in the presence of members who are Syracuse citizens and who would not countenance any proceeding of that kind. Undoubtedly the intention of the writers were for the good of fish legislation only.

The Milford Mail’s ungainly' wielding of a club to compel the ! S. &. M. Ry. to connect with their hamlet is getting farcical. The editor evidently belongs to the oldfashioned school that advocates violence andiiot arbitration. This matter might have been settled long ago if the parties most concerned would have met and discussed the project in a reasonable manner. The citizens of Syracuse should remember that this neighboring village is attacking a vital institution of our town and not individuals. The Journal has held off from this subject thinking that it was only a flash in the pan, but when it shows signs of doing an irreparable injury to our business men and consequently to our town, we must state the facts. A line between Milford and the lake would cause the lake traffic to almost entirely skirt our little city; and in addition we have something better in view. The Mail editor directs our attention to the benefits to Syracuse from the extension of the S. &M. We confess we cannot see it Numerous obstacles were laid in

the company’s way when the right-of-way for this road was being secured, by the identical people in Milford who are now so anxious to see it extended. We hate to accuse the people of the neighboring town of selfish motives, but that is the way it sizes up. The citizens of Syracuse can be relied upon to back their institutions with financial, physical and moral support against any interference from foreign sources., We Need something to occupy the attention and engross the interest of our young men. Who can deny it? The means is at hand that with a litde elaboration will stimulate the interest of z the rising generation in something worth the effort. The old school house is standing without a reason for existence, when it could be readily transformed into a gymnasium and a place of recreation. We understand that a little more room would be of use in the present schoolroom Why not move the library into the old school house and in addition equipit with athletic contrivances and conveniences? We would be pleased to print your ideas on this subject. Let us have them. The Chief backing that the Milford contingent had in trying to secure the extension of the S. & M. Ry. to their town, appears to have fallen away. The Elkhart commissioners wanted the gravel contained in Deeter bank and were apparently countenancing the extension. But, ass told in the article we print on another page from the News-Times, an effort will be made to compel the B. & 0.. and S. & M. to connectltheir lines here, iiothing.being said relative to the proposed extension. The Question has risen* as to whether a man who did not register would be eligible to sign the local option petition. The local option law says that “No person shall be entitled to sign such petition except that he be a bona fide legal voter in the territory jn which such elections is sought to be held.” And be is not a legal voter unless he be regis tered. The Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette, with its accustomed unreliability, announces that Fred Hoopingarner has been recommended for the postmastership here. The fact of the matter is that no recomendation have been made and when they are, B. F. Hoopingarner’s name will be the one that goes before the president. W e Read in a number of our exchanges, accounts of Farmer’s Institutes held in surrounding towns. Institutes prove of great practical value to the farmer and one wonders why the agriculturists adjacent to Syracuse are not doing something in this line.

Thf Goshen Democrat copied one of our editorials and credited it to Editor Bloom of the Middlebury Independent. Such is life. A. J. Forblng, of the Milford Mail, is a candidate for the postmastership of that place. He is a good man and we wish him success. —Buy a Miller safe of Rothenberger and save your valuable papers. —Fodder for sale. S. P. Redding Phone 302. 3t-pd

38 YEARS AGO. Excerpts From The Files Os The Syracuse Enterprise Os Feb. 18, 1875. A little daughter of Mr. Ellison Archer residing near Cromwell, was burned so severely a few days since as to cause her death in a few hours. The children were alone and when found, the.child was lying in the yard with her clothing nearly burned off. We have had some splendid sleighing the past few days. We learn that Mrs. Sylvester Webster of Warsaw, died on Wednesday of last week. It is reported that the roads are so badly drifted in places that it is difficult to travel them with a team. We received a call bn Monday morning from Mr. Gross of Middlebury and Perry Wilden of this place. We learn that the residence of Mr. French, Bone Prarie, this county, was destroyed by fire a few days since. NEW PARIS ITEMS. N.B. Metzler and J. Zigler will rebuild their wagon shops next summer.

Allen Leo. son of Howard A. and Cecil L. Watkins, was born August I, 1912 and died Feb. 11,1913. aged six months and ten days. Os such Jesus said: "‘Suffer the children to come unto me for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Thus there has closed a brief mortal career only to enter untrammeled by sin into immortality and life eternal. For little Allen, the few brief weeks of life were filled with suffering, and while he will be missed from the home and the fond embrace of parents and friends, we count our loss as his eternal gain. His departure leaves to mourn father, mother, two grandfathers, one grandmother, two aunts and three uncles. Mrs. Harris and children of Elkhart are visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Watts. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. William Ray, Wednesday of last week. Syracuse will meet the Cromwell basket ball team Friday afternoon, at 3:45, in the old school house. This will be an interesting game, better see it. A petition has been filed by John J. Riddle and others praying for a public highway from the Wawasee Inn to Ogden Island, a distane of about thret quarter’s of a mile. Feel From Balcony. The two year old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Ed McFall fell from the balcony where they live in the second story of the Chas. Weade residence Wednesday morning. The child was playing and accidentally tumbled over the railing- It is pretty badly bruised around the head. It is not thought that the skull was fractured but it is impossible to tell immeadiately how serious the injuries were. Attempted Murder. Chas. Walton hit his wife in the head three times with an axe, at their home in Mentone, and committed suicide. The lady will probably recover. Jealously was attributed as the cause. Election Last Os March. The ’“weF’’ petition has the necessary number of signers ami wpl be presented to the Board of Commissioners at their next meeting held the first Monday in March. The law states that the election must be hejd not less than 20 days nor more than *0 days from this meeting and this would bring the elation between the 23rd of March and the 2nd of April

Benton Harbor People. (Note: A. H. Blanchard, who was taking the baths at Benton Harbor last week, furnishes the following information.) It is likely the old neighbors, relitives and friends of the familys who formerly lived at this place now at Benton Harbor will be glad to know how they are and what they are doing. Mr. Jess Blough who at one time operated the dray line here now with his brother, Charles, owns and runs what is known as the American Laundry Co. They now employ 20 girls and 5 men and during the summer season when the bath houses and summer resorts are running full blast they employ 35 people and run night and day. One bath house having given them 1,000 and another as high as 1,200 towls in a day. At present they are turning out over S4OO worth of laundry per week which increases as the season advances to S9OO per week. Their machinery is operated by electricity which is all of the most modern type. One of their new ironing machines cost $l,lOO. The plant is valued at $9,000 and not for sale at that. It is a sight to see the clothes come in and go out the sorting, making a record of each piece and etc. In the work of delivering, our old friend Sam Uurue or Happy Sam as he is known there, is employed. He uses a wagon and often does not get in from his route until after dark. Another man helps him in his work and uses a new Auburn automible delivery, in making deliveries in and around St. Joseph. Hundreds of packages are brought over from there each week. Friends of Mrs. Blough will be pleased to know that she now weighs 145 pounds and that her health is much better than when she was living here. Milo MeJoy and wife are also employed by the Blough Bros, in the laundry. Milo is now head washer and his wife runs one of the ironing machines. They live within a stones throw of the laundry and are nicely located in a large, new brick flat buildidg. They have 6 rooms heated by steam, hot and cold water, toilet and bathroom, electric lights, hardwood floors and the best of fixtures throughout. I had the pleasure of visiting and eating Sunday dinner with them. Mrs. Unrue also helps in the laundry part of the time. The supplies for the laundry such as starch, bluing, soap qqd etc are bought in very large quantities, as much as S3OO worth of soap is received at one time. A. H. Blanchard.

A lady of Syracuse has left her home, husband and several children and went to a neighboridg city to reside. We are not aware of the exact cause of her departure. Woman Robs Grocery Store. Connersville. —J. W. Maher’s grocery store was robbed by a strange woman after she had chloroformed Mrs. Maher, who was alone and in charge. The woman ordered a small quantity of sugar. Her head and face were wrapped and she complained of a severe toothache. Mrs. Maher was getting the sugar, when the stranger drew a handkerchief from her jacket and waved it about Mrs. Maher. The latter at ORC? detected the smell of chloroform, and spoke of IL W th® woman said the smell was from mWlcine she was using for her toothache. She changed her order to a larger amount of sugar, but before Mrs. Maher could AU It she was overcome and sank to the floor. Before she recovered the stranger had rifled the gash drawer of |2O and escaped. I .
