Another hot wave has come and gone and scorched us in passing.

' 'Teddy" Roosevelt should at least favor the new Tammany senator from New York state, Judge James A. 0 'Gorman. Mr. O'Gorman is father of sir daughters and one son.

The latest and most interesting political gossip at "Washington is that the new Secretary of War Henry 'L. Stimson of New York is to be Taft 's running mate in the election next year. "Mr. Stimson ran f or governor cf New York in the last election, and represents the progressive republican element of that state.

A. G. Graham -of South Bend, well known to many in Marshall county because of his having been republican district chairman, on a recent visit to Canada was impressed with the faet of very strenuous opposition to the Canadian Reciprocity treaty by the people of that country. He believes ? the Canadian Parliament will not pass the treaty even if the U. S. Senate does.

The Right Rev. Charles D. Williams, Bishop of Michigan, has a very strong article in the June American Magazine on "The Conflict Between Religion and the Church.' ' The gist of his argument is summed in the following compact statement of the case: "She (the church) preaches, for the most part, a narrow and pretty round of ethics, the minor moralities of purely personal conduct, respectabilities, good form; technical pieties and ecclesiastical proprieties, while the age is seeking the larger righteousness of the Kingdom of God, which is u human society organized according to the Will of God."

THE LIBRARY SITE. Somebody, for some reason or other, is trying to arouse some contention over the site for the public library. We had supposed this matter was already settled by the Library Board. When they came up to this question some time ago, they took a vote on the matter and decided, FIVE to TWO, that they would choose the Cleaveland lot as the site. Their reasons for the choice were given at the time, and also later and everybody seemed quite well satisfied. The contracts are made out with the owners of the lot, and it would be difficult now. if not indeed a violation of contract, to back out cn the agreements made. Just-what is the purpose of the present agitation is not clear. On the face of it, there is a desire to save the people of the city some money at the present time, forgetting that a few hundred or few thousand dollars in a project of this kind is nothing when compared with the proper location of a public building which is to last as long as the city shall last. ' A thing of this kind ought to be done right when it is done, so that succeeding generations wil not re

gret what we have done. However, we are always willing to give the people a chance to say what they want, and we suggest, that if it i3 desired to take the matter out of the hands of the Library Board, a vote of the subscribers to the library fond be taken on this question of a site. Inasmuch as they are donating the site to the city, they are the ones who should have the say about what they shall donate. But, whatever is done let no one be so unpatriotic to Plymouth as . to suggest again that anybody refuse or fail in pay his subscription to the fund, just because of thi3 question of a site. We are going to pay ours whether the library is put on the Cleaveland lot on the Haslanger lot or over in Johnstown.

THE GOOD ÜLDC0AYS.

Even the World's Most 'Ancient Book Laments That They-Hav Fled. A priceless manuscript .of eighteen pages, found in an Egyptian monument and published . In : facsimile in France about the yearlS47, is thought to be the oldest book In the world. Procured at Thebes by Prisse l'A vennes and presented . by him to the national library at Paris, it is usually called the "Papyrus . Prisse." from the name of the donor. As the manuscript was found in a monument of the eleventh dynasty. It must be anterior to the shepherd tings and therefore older by many centuries than the time of Moses older even than the date usually assigned to Abraham and so of all existing books it would be the most ancient. The words of every page, though believed to have been written 4,000 years ago, are in tensely black to this day and in a bold, round hand. By a curious irony this echo froao the very childhood of tie world laments the good old times that had passed away. The author, who was a prince of the royal blood, gives warning to the young and declares that tht words of ancient wisdom should be the dally food of children and grown men alike. Humility and obedience he makes to be the foundation of all 'Virtue. Christian Science Monitor.

AN ELUSIVE BONE.

Lux It Said to Be Indeetructibie, but It Is Hard to Locate. Much scholarship and anatomical knowledge have been employed from time to time In efforts to identify the bone luz. said by ancient Hebrew writers to be the nucleus from which the body is reconstructed at the resurrection. There are many marvelous stories of the Indestructibility of luz, and the bone has been located by rival claimants to the honor of discovering It in various parts of the human skeleton. The most careful searching of the last published and amplest treatise on osteology will not result In the discover of the bone called luz. it will be necessary to go to the Frankfort edition of the "Theatrum Anatomicum of Caspar Bauhlnus (1G21) for a descrip tion: "It is stated by Hebrew writers to be a bone which cennot be destroyed by fire, water or any other element nor be broken or bruised by any force Its site is In the spine from the eighteenth vertebra to the femur. "We read that the Emperor Hadrian once asked Rabbi Joshua, the son of Chanm. how God would resurrect man In the world to come. lie made answer. 'From the bone luz in the spinal column.' When Hadrian asked him how he came by this knowledge and how he could prove it the Habbl Joshua produced the bone so that the emperor could see iL When placed In water it could not be softened; It was not destroyed by Ore, nor could It be ground by any weight; when placed on an anvil and struck with a hammer the anvil was broken in sunder, but the bone remained Intact" Hieronymus Magius represents that, according to the Talmudists, the real bone Is near the base of the skull, whether it be In the base itself or in the spine. Vesalius writes that this ossicle is described by the Arabs as resembling a chick pea In size and shape, and Cornelius Agrippa describes it as "magnltudlne clceris xnundatT (the size of a shelled pea) Different anatomists have held It variously to be the sacrum, the coccyx, the twelfth dorsal vertebra, one of the Wormian bones in the skull and one of the sesamoids of the great toe.

Traditions That It Will Last Only Six Thousand Years. There is a general and widespread notion, which the curious Investigator will And scattered throughout both medieval and modern literature, that the world will last 6,000 years from the date of Its creation. An Inscription in oDe of Martin Luther's books reads as follows: "Elijah, the prophet, said that the world had existed 2.000 years before the law was given (from Adam to Moses), would exist 2,000 years under the Mosaic law (from Moses to Christ) and 2.000 years under the Christian dispensation, and then it would be burned." In the Etrurian account of the creation (by Suldas) there is a similar tradition. The Creator spent 6.000 years in creation, and 6,000 more are allotted to the earth." . In the black letter edition of Foxe's Acts and Monuments' (16S2) there is a whole sermon given with the 6,000 year limit of the earth's duration asa text Some writers contend that the "sit days" referred to in Holy Writ really mean 6,000 years and that the "seventh day" Is a type of the coming millennium, or "Sabbath of a thousand years." The psalmist says, "For a thousand years are in thy sight as yesterday" (Psalm xt,4. See also II Peter UL .

Figures, compiled from the election returns from local option contests held in the three months which have elapsed since the new local option law and the Proctor liquor regulati.n law went into effect, show that the drys have met with heavy losses. These losses have been in the cities. The drys have gained in another way, however, as the Proctor law has put many violators out of' the salcon business. Since the 'local option law became effective elections have been held in 1S3 units. The election units under this law are city, town, township, and territory in township o.itside of a city or town. Thirty saloon keepers have been put out ot business in Indianapolis alone. The new laws, therefore, work both ways. The city and township unit law has opened former dry cities to licensed saloons, a gain for the liqucr forces, even though the number of saloons is smalK The Proctor regulative act has raised the standard of sr.loon keepers by depriving law violators of licenses. This is a bent fit to the drys, as one of their objectiors to liquor selling has been that men who care nothing for the laws have been permitted to engage in the business. Wets Gain in Cities. All the 193 units in which elections have taken place were dry by county option law vote two years ago or by remonstrance. One election, Laurel township, Whitley county, resulted in a tie. Of the others the wets carried 50, all losses for the drys, because the units were dry before the elections. The drys retained 142 of the 193 units, but most of the units that voted dry are rural commun'ties whose vote made counties dry under the old law. Cities Carried by Wets.

immediate effect on wet counties, except where a saloon was running in a unit that did not have enough population to make up the ratio fixed by the county commissioners. In the cities and towns that have voted wet since the law went into effect, however, ' high ratios have r. duced the number of saloons greatly in comparison with the number in operation before the first lecal option law was passed. Anderson isanexamp'e. Two years ago, before the city voted dry, there were 65 licensed f a'oons in the city. Now thecity is about to become wet automatically under the Proctor law, but only 26 saloons will be. permissible, because the ratio of one to 1,000 population has been fixed by the county commissioners. In Larger Cities. On the other hand, Indianapolis, Evansville, Terre Haute, South Een 1 and Ft. Wayne are examples of how little immediate effect the Proctor law had in greatly reducing the number of saloons in those cities. Indianapolis, with a ratio of ens saloon to 700 people, would have been entitled to only 234 saloons had the city been dry when the Proctor law was enacted. Indianapolis, however, had 753 saloons when the 700 limit was fixed, but this number has been reduced already to about 733 by several clauses of the regulative act. This reduction, though not great, shows what may be done if the law is strictly enforced. And what is true of Indianapolis is also true of the other large cities. South Bend, where the ratio is one saloon to 1,000 persons, has a population cf 53,684, but it has 275 saloons, though only 55 would be permissible if the city had been dry when the Proctor act was passed. But Soth Bend, like Indianapolis, is drawing the line on law violators, and those who fail to meet the requirements of the regulative act, and the number of saloons will be reduced 30 or more in that city. In the Smaller Cities. In some of the smaller wet cities, of which Lawrenceburg is an example, it will take many years to bring the number of saloons down to the limit, unless the law is rigidly enforced. In Dearborn county the ratio is one saloon to 500. This limit would give Lawrenceburg, with a population of 3,930, only nine saloons, but the-city must have more than double its population before the 19 saloons now in operation there are within the limit. The limit is based on population, but the law permits the commissioners to take the vote at the last general election, multiplied by five, as a means of estimating the population. This method of computing the population gives some cities more saloons than they would have if the 1910 census had been made the basis.
