Phones—Office 4—House 117 r- . . 5 Church Going by the protestants has been on the wane for a consid- , erable time and during this time church allegiance has increased among those of the Catholic persua sion. It strikes us that some valua ble data could be compiled by a comparison of the procedure of these two great religious bodies. There is one point of difference that stands preeminent above all others: That is the different status of the pastor and the priest. The priest is prepared for his work by many years of hard study and close application to the intricacies of his profession; the pastor in many cases is under-trained for his work. The priest is the recognized leader of his , church, his word is law; the pastor must please the congregation and i be careful not to offend, the will of the most influential members is law. The priest generally spends his life time at one charge and be- < comes intimate with its needs, and J knows the best method of administering to them; the pastor has prob- I ably two years and if his course is 1 not approved, he, either by his own request or bv the action of his flock, ; is sent to some new pasture. This ' is not so much a criticism as it is a statement of bald facts. Give this > article a little thought, there is food 1 for reflection. 1 ... ■ ■■ ■ .. I 111 1 1 A Number of our merchants are opposing, and with some reason, the i removal of the hitch racks from the ‘ streets. The sanitary aspect of the < matter cannot be refuted, unless as some suggest, the streets be con- ] creted in the immediate vicinity of the racks. But even this is only a fl make-shift solution ItHvouldbea 1 hard matter to keep the concrete v floor clean if the remainder of the street was flooded with a sea of mud. Again, if the hitch racks are moved to the millyard, how long will it be before that place is in a b similar condition to the present site of the racks? If our streets were paved, the hitch racks might re- b main where they are without any £ objection being possible from any source. Street paving is going to be a necessity in the near future and while we may squirm and kick, t we’ve got to come to it within the ( next few years. j • t Taken as a whole, the roads are > better this spring than usual, and with a little grading and the addi- f tion of gravel to the low spots will be as good as the average dirt road. 5 The time is not far distant when s « practical provision Will be made by , the government for the making of permanently good highway. We t would hate to venture an opinion ‘ on the material that will be used, t but it is very reasonable to surmise that the road question, as important * as it is, will receive national legisla- > non. Such action as has been taken , by the state has proved farcial. i The recent automobile tax is doing us very little good. The path that , this tax money follows between the automobile owner and the road is ] apparently a devious and expensive j route as the small percentage of revenue derived by the counties < conclusively shows. The Warsaw Overall factory is to be enlarged by adding a second < story 44 x 132 feet. New machines will be added and additional employes secured. ‘ If a certain Syra cuse man had been able to subdue his selfish interests, we might now have a branch of This same overall * factory. The same company of men who purchased the foundry building, later selling it to the Gilderman Manufacturing &. Foundry Co., were making preparations to buy another Syracuse building and were in communication with W. S. i Felkner. manager of the Warsaw 1 Overall factory, with a view towards his locating a branch here. Before negotiations were completed, how- i ever, this certain Syracuse man offered a slightly larger amount for ! the building and our hopes of an overall factory went glimmering

Churubusco, Kendallville, and several other towns have secured lecturers on the subject of good roads and the farmers ars showing interest in the talks. It would be fine if Syracuse could procure a speaker on this subject. At this time of year the good roads matter is a pertinent subject and one that might bear fruit if broached to the people of this vicinity. The mayor of Columbia City has compelled the traveling solicitors for magazines to take out a license before they can operate in his city. A very good idea and one that might be well used in Syracuse. Rosenthal, president of SearsRoebuck &. Co., according to the Chicago Tribune, will pay tax on a yearly income of $1,500,000.
