FARMER TELLS ABOUT WINDLE SALOON TALK

Jim Hayseeds Wasn't Convinced by the Arguments-Says He Thought Meeting Should Have Been Opened With Prayer Instead of Corkscrews

Yesterday was rather a bad day so I didn't do mutch but feed the stock an look after the yos thet wus lamin. I hed bin redin the demercary and seem it editin wus in fer the wets, an his sly jabs at the drys not bin convincin to me I decided I -would go to .town an hear thet man from Chicago tell folks how to vote. So I hitched up old Doll an went. Of course I thot any man from the preat Chicago could help ns a murhty sight in reachin conclusions. A lawyer intordooced the speaker uv the occashun by sayin thet the business men of the city hed called the meetin. Then as if he feared some uv the business men might object he said, quick an sudden like, thet sum of the business men hed called it. Well. I expected thet. some one, a 1 minister perhaps, would be called to j open the meetin with prayer, to ask' Goal's hlessin upon the saloons butj they wasn't. On the way hum Bill( Spriircrins sel them fellers opened their meetins with corkscrews. Well, the feller from Chicago figertivly sptakin, tnk off. his coat Tolltd ip his sleeve, spit on his hand and made the chips fly. (Bill t?au be guessed thty was poker chips tlie. About the first thing he said wus bt thet pronibishum wus oncristian. II just pitched into all the drys an lambasttd prohibishum worse than I ever licked thet kitchen cow I hed' Inst winter.

By gi:m, he hedn't hurt her at all. 1 jest felt like throwin.up my hat an yellin. But the meetin didn't belong to me it belonged to Mr. Swindle and three or four other fellers who swarmd around him like vallei jackets around a bruised apple. But it wus anuisin to hear him plead for the poor farmers. Wunct I lied to put my handercbeaf to my eyes ef it wusn't very clean. When I told Mar.dv about it when I trot home (Tandy's my wife) she said; the farmers wud show him what they thoight of the whiskey bizness' they would too. They would knock! if they hßd a chance to vote. And' thet tuk our chickens last summer. in rrt ViriMr tn fli! CI. n-t rrr feller aga.n. He talked awful meas about prohibishun.

good Lord deliver us. Mandy is usually very quiet but she said "amen." Jim Hayseeds. Mrs. Fred Crow Word was received last night from Walkerton by Mrs. Chas. Becknell that her daughter Mrs. Fred Crow, formerly Miss Iva White of this city had died very unexpected after an illness of only twelve or thirteen hours. It was a great shock to her relatives and friends as they knew nothing of her being ill. No details have been received here as yet. Funeral notice and particulars will be given later.

From "One Who Drinks." Editor Republican: In your daily issue of March 25, noticed an article headed, "From the Wet Side." The tone, temper and syntax of the article were certainly fairly good, but the logic and reasoning extremely short at both ends. Besides, the writer makes some statments which 1 do not believe to be true. He says "Everybody knows through common report that conditions have grown worse, instead of better under the dry regime; that. the longer Prohibition is practiced the greater the contempt for it becomes. " This is not correct. He advises the voters of Plymouth to vote for saloons on March 31, "as Plymouth aihl Marshall; County will j:et if 3500 a year out of it." Xow, let's see. Can Money buv morals Can money buy a good moral charac ter The only place it can be used! for the latter is in securing a license for a saloon keeper. Has it come to this? That a few Drunkenness, Gambling, Hags, Poverty, Weeping wives and starving children shall be the onlv consideration cf this "moral proposition"? Are not sons and daughters, mothers, fathers and the state to.be taken into this "moral proposition"? The state did I say I Aye, what constitutes a state? "Men, high minded men: With powers as far above the brtites endued . As beasts excel cold rocks and brambles rude. ' Men who their duty know and knowing dare maintain, And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain. Men who mould into sovereign law the states, collected will Which sits. Empress crownings, good repressing ill, This constitutes a state. " The licensing cf saloons in this nal tion has been a blight and a curse ever since it was instituted. It should be wiped out,' root and branch. Tf the liquor traffic is wrong in itself,' it should not be licensed in any shape or. form, thoucrh it brought in all the dollars on earth. I believe tomorrow the voters of the city cf Plymouth who believe in the great est amount of good "for the greatest number of people, who believe in the upbuilding of Plymouth morally and financially, will not vote to' fasten five groggeries on their backs for the next year for the paltry sum of $3500. Look before you vote. Beware of tainted money. One Who Drinks. Do Chosts Haunt Swanps? No, Never. Its foolish to fear a fancJed evil, when there are real and deadly perils to guard against ' in swamps and marshes, bayous, and lowlands.' Thesa are the malaria grms that cause , ague, chills ' end fever, weakness, aches in the bones and muscles and may induce deadly tphoid.' But Electric Bitters destroys and casts out these vicious gems from the blood. "Three bottles drove all the malaria from my system," wrote Wm. Fretwell, of Lncama, N. C, "and I've had fine health ever since." Use. this safe, sure remedy only. 50c at Fred Wenzler. . . Twelve to Take Western Trip , D. A.

My Reply to the Card. Contributed. I didn't intend to have 'much to say regarding the battle which is to be fought at the polls this week un til today when I received a postal card sent me by the intemperate whiskey element of the city in which they try to intimidate and scare me into what I know has ruined man homes and caused untold misery and want t6 women and helpless children. They say there is a license fee of $2500; we admit that. Then these men. who say these fees make perhaps a profit of say at a low estimate $2000. That makes $4500, and this all goes into the hands of the saloon keeper and to no one else. Where does it come fromf From men who ought not to spend a cent of it in that way, as a rule-poor laboring men, whose families need every cent of it. I am 'aware many good men will vote for the saloon, so will the very worst drunken sots in . our city. I don't want to be classed with that kind of society. Some will say, I say anv man that takes a drink, even only once a month, is a drinking man and must take his place along side of the worst, yet he may be adrunkard. I vote ves.

P.H.S. Notes. Everybody that did not have the mumps before the epidemic started this year, had the pleasure of going through with the stunt this semester. The Seniors have become reconciled again after their class scraps of a few weeks ago. Next week is spring vacation. All pupils are looking forward to this with much pleasure. Many are planning to spend their vacation out of town. Seniors are reading Milton's Comus in English. Members of the Senior Annual Board are encouraged with the outlook for the success of the H. S. paper this year. Miss Hazel Truex was absent Monday on account of sickness. Every one is going to Bourbon April 7th and route for Miss Sult who won in the Preliminary last Friday night and also will bring the honors back to Plymouth this year. Averts Awful Tragedy.

THIS COUNTY IS NOT IN THE

STATE CONTEST VIVIAN LEWIS, OUR REPRESENTATIVE PREVENTED BY SICKNESS FROM GOING TO INDIANAPOLIS TO SPELL. ALTERNATES NOTIFIED Keen Disappointment is Felt at The Impossibility of Marshall County Competing for the Honors of the State. Marshall county will be keenly disappointed that its representative to the State spelling contest is sick and unable to go to take part in that great meeting today. Miss Vivian Lewis of Walnut township has been out of school for three weeks with the mumps and is just recovering enough to be out. She is therefore unable to go to Indianapolis and compete for the great state prize in spelling. It will be remembered that Miss Lewis won a brilliant victory over the representatives of the seven counties of this district in the District Spelling contest held at Plymouth on Feb. 18. It was hoped at that time that Miss Lewis would be able to also win the State contest. On learning that she was sick, County Superintendent Steineback at once telegraph Miss Golda Eaton of Elkhart county who is the first alternate, to go to Indianapolis today to take the place of Miss Lewis. Jennings Gordon of St. Joseph county and Robt O'Connell of Kosciusko have gone and will represent the district in the contest which occurred in the Stale House at two o'clock this afternoon. Mr Steinobach did not go to Indianapolis as he had intended, because Marshall County's representative was unable to go. Shower for Miss Humrichouser Mrs. W. H. Seybold gave a bag shower for Miss Lois Humrichouser at her home on north Center street Monday evening. Miss Humrichouser was the recipient of many useful and beautiful little bags.

H. S. TO GIVE COMIC OPERA

Members of Various Classes Will Give Play Under Supervision of Miss McGuire. The Plymouth High school is working very hard at present, practising for "The Captain of Plymouth" to be given shortly after Easter.

Also permission will be obtained for the right of using the famous "My Hero" (Waltz) from the comic opera Bouffe "The Chocolate Soldier."
