The Indiana Union Traction Co. lms done a good work for the education of the people in the matter of taking proper precaution before they ross a street where .there is a' car line, and also in calling atention to the langers, incident to street ears, automobiles and steam cars.. The way the company did this was to ask the school, authorities-to help them get before the pupils the facts by having read on Monday; Oct. la ever school through which the tracks of the company run, a circular letter telling the dangers of running in front of cars, playing About the car tracks, and crossing streets without looking for cars and automobiles. The letter also called attention to the proper way to alight from cars. Many accidents occur to womtn especially .because they alight facing backwards instead of forwards. The I. V. T. company is deserving of praise for this good - work. While it will in the end be a benefit to thein, the benefits to the public will Lsq be marked and should be appreci teL . CARE OF THE POOR. Some stir has been made over the condition of a family in the i-ity, where some of the children were found to be almost in a starving condition. - . ;,. ml perplexing question of what to do m Mich caes, ami how " perma-. nent helj) may he g veu to Mich people. The citv council before the last appointed a committee to look after the needv of the citv. At that time the matter of helping all the needy was thoroughly- gone over "in the papers, in the council, in the clubs of the city and in private con versafirm Tlio roodt V:W tllP Clt committee, which it was intended .should be a permanent commilte of Jibe council to look after these matters. . It was thought that if the many ecoks spoil the broth" in this as in any other matter. It is not wise for a number of different parties to be looking after the wants jpne family for they will get un e attention, in several respeets. If all authority is gi ni. io one committee as was done. hit committee comes to know all tL.se who really need help and to what extent they seed it. Those in tire city who really needed help weie very few. Many who came to the commit te for assistance were grown and strong men able to work, but too lazy to do so. They were offered a chance to work for -the city or elsewhere to get themselves food and clothing, but the tight of work, or even the smell ot it, drove many of them away. They not want to work and help thenijselves. They preferred to go hungry or risk begging and' private help. .The counc'l committee was the prop vr means to drive these 'laz) ;eople to hustle for themselves. , Likewise this committee fjund those who were really deserving of litlp, and these it helped. Some were those who would never ask for any assistance. They were reported to the committee and were helped without anyone knowing anything about it. This is as it should be. This committee of "tht council chould have been continued, or some permanent eommitiee in its place 'should have been named, . by the 'Yi council, to look after this brk"in roajtmetion .wjth.the trustee. The family lately in question has UMMnflv nm to Plvmonth and the : trustee and city health .officer knew f the. conditions, which bad been re . : Heved to.sorae extent. Perhaps those . i i . t r j i 4 outers Oiu not humw iuc reai urgeney of . the case. Here was X .family., of father, 'Mxwther, and six childreijTbe father unable to support more, than himi'celf nd wife, or not . more than him- . zzf, wife and one child" ...at most. Vhat a problem is that.' for society! Has that man anv right to bring Jmio the world six children when he cannot care for them, and leaves tkcp a cba'rga n society! If he ,Jia4 it on lit to be the duty of tW fUTe tr. care fcr them, andV care for , 4,bm -. properly, sothey will be : riiglit np to D some vaiue io . oeiety; and not themselves: beecoe Barges with, their children.

These are questions which .statesmen should be devoting . their time and brains to, instead of many of the almost foolish things at which all

ana energy is airecieu. SAVE THE TREES. The problem of saving the trees of the city from the maple salu is one which must be met this fall. As soon as the leaves are off the trees, spraying can begin. To spray or not to spray that seems to le the question. To save the trees or not to save them, is the problem stated in a different way. It will be remembered that the city council last spring had intended to buy a power sprayer this fall and to spray all the trees of the city, city. It -was thought that if the mater was left to individuals it would not be done in all parts of tlie city. Since it was the purose to make thorough business of the spray ing it was thought best, therefore, for the city, to do the work itself, So that no tree which should be sprayed could escape for lack of attention. Some of thetrees are dying now and if the spraying is not done this fall, next year will see several dead trees on Importe street, and others zoiug the same road to destruction. Many tree owners are now wait ing and wishing for some one' to come along to spray their trees. Hie x fifteenth of October is said to be about the proper time to begin this work, so there is no time to lose. The thiny for the city council to do is to either go ahead and buv a prayer itself, or rent one, and pro vide the cheapest way possible for the people to get this work done.n There ousht not' to be a moment's hesitancy as. to whether it should be done. Evervbodv knows if should ' e done. The only question to con sider is. how can it be done the cheapest ? .It is thought that it may be done ar cheaper than a dollar a tree. The formula for the solution was given bv state entomologist Beni. YT. rouglass when he was here to advise the city council last spring, and it is a cheap solution, costing not more than fifteen cents per gallon. Mr. Mark Vanvactor, living south of the city made a barrel of the solution last fall, sprayed two apple orchards? and has some of the spray' left yet. - ; Mr. Douglass said when ' lie .'was here that he would gladly come back to Plymouth at any time and help the council' with the spraying-problem, even though he" was no longer in office. His very kind offer should !e taken at this time. The city sln.'uld have his advice on the matterfor by so doing the- council can get the work done at the cheapest price and also be assured that it- will be properly done. The savins of the fine shade trees of tie citv is a public dutv and should he looked after by the conntil. If they cannot see their way 'dear to do the work themselves, thev should at least oversee it and

thoroughly, ! If the city had il machine, eithei by lAivirig ol' iehlirig. it would bean easV mutter for them to set the stVet commissioner at the work of spraying. The street work could Walt a week or two if necessary in rler that this important work could be done. We do not believe that with the city forte doing the work and buying enough material for the whole city, it would cost mere than fifteen or twenty cents per tree. This the owners would gladly pay for the service. The important thing is to get the work done, am? to get it done at the lowest possible cost. The council has bad the whole summer for consideration of the matter and it ought not to le a difficult problem for them. i . i -. x THEY SYMPATHIZE An article written by C. W. Met&ke? for the South Bend Tribune says that all the democrats of Marshall countj,' are in sympathy with him in his campaign for lieutenant-gov-ernor. They may indeedf. well be, yet .it is a little early to sympathize with hinv now; he will need it more. later. THE BEST COMBINATION. - The best way. for the merchants of a town to keep every foreign competing advertiser out of their home paper is to combine and buy all the space the home paper has to "give and, utilize it for. their own good, This would place the paper under obligations to them and, besides, the editor, could then conscientiously blow the trumpet of home inter ests against ' all the world. CORRECT Tinf EVILS. Commenting on the article ofOeo. B. Iockwood the South Bend Tribune says editorially:" ( " "The editor of t!e 'Marion Chronicle, Oecrge "B. Loc';wood, discusses the reorganization of .the .republican

party .in Indiana in a TnamieTirhifhwere the-visions of aerial freedom.

will hold the attention of a vast number or republirans, -although, we suspect, they may not -"agree with all the ideas he presents. This is the second interview - on 'f Iiis subject 'with Indiana newspaper men presented by The Tribune, the first being with Will H. Craig of the Noblesville Ledger. It is interesting that both men rappeal 'fov'k

state orgauization that shall represent the ranK and file of republicans, and yet this is not especially significant because every honest and unselfish republican newspaperman in the state has the same view. They see so much of politicans and political selfishness that they -fully realize the need of the rank and file in each community asserting itself. Mr. Lockwood 's . prohibition ideas may not be accepted in -the' same acquiescing spirit beyond that point where it will be agreed, at least by the rank and file, that the partv should be entirely free from any domination by the liquor element. State-wide prohibition is 'a doubtful method of reduciig the liquor traffic and always will be until the people can find and elect men who. will enforce liquor laws always and without fear or favor. Such men 'are not easily found. f'But the domination of the state republican organization by the liquor system, if. such be a fact, is a dangerous and disgraceful thing If this be a fact the rank and file cannot act too quickly or too, vigorously to 'remedy the condition. The Marion editor, if such is his meaning, has calltd attention- to some-' thing which ought to so impress the

republicans of Indiana that they will leave no means untried to effect a reorganization that will spell success in the next campaign. With the present state administration spending $1,000 'a day more than the last administration in runnins the state's1 business it is high time the people awakened to a true appreciation of the situation.' ' Tht Republican agrees entirely with the opinions expres-sed above. QUEER. Patronize home -institutions cries the county editor from week to week. "That is right savs the merchant, "give it to those who send to Montgomery Ward's for their gods, or seiiu their money to some other town. Then with his heart filled with kindness to the loyal editor, he sends his' job work to some other town or city, or utilizes a piece of wrapping paper to write an order on for goods or send a statement to a customer. . Funny isn't it? VOICE OF THE PEOPLE f lMl Editor' 4 'The hYpublicaiy ' Plymouth, Ind. Dear Sir: A human tragedy enacted a' the very doors of every citizen of this community has been discovered and temporarily relieved by some visitors in PIvmouth. A case '-f al solute destitution! Eight souls merely existing in a one-room hovel, without clothing, fuel, foo I or necessities of any description. The object of this communication is to susgest that as ceil I er Hl? Plymouth is losing econ omie elttriency hud moral progress when it leaves its starving residents to the chance relief of strangers, A municipal corporation or aggiegatioti of individuals which has r.o means of promptly relieving and strengthening its unfortunates ;s on the rapid road to disintegration and anarchy. There are religious, moral, economic and fraternal duties which cannot be ignored, and this certain ly is one of them. Sincerely, E. C. Coon. .

Commenting on the statement that the Wright brothers have invented a contrivance that will enable men to actually fly like birds, the IndianaK)lis Star says: Prom the time that man first foiind himself on earth with no means of locomotion save his two legs, and saw above hi mthe birds of the air flying, at their ease, he must at intervals until' this day have had moment of longing for wings. Even before the fall the-thought of" their desirability--, must hay.e. occurred to Adam; and' when he was driven from the-Garden he would doubtless have been glad if he and. Eve could have expedited their departure into a hiding1 place by flying. "Ob. that I hail wings like a dove cried the ..psalmist, and in thus speaking expressed a wish that every human creature must have had--whence would be at rest .or would wander far, or would ".escape from the windy storm and tnnrAs:-', ' ' t 1 . . . I ' When the .Wright brothers, invented the' airship it was hailed as the j realization of a common dream. Man j The airships. came and were wonder ful n their way, but, after all, their flight was not the flight of birds, hut a i cnmsy and imperfect substitute and imitation. It was remarkable! that man couldgo up "into the air at all, but he went with much mach'inery and with Tittle -security from 'faflling, not "with the certainty and perfect jpoise'of.!theale -ana lue !ha?k,

wum u ..,.. rr 'Instrumental soUes bv, the Misse stnctions now and would fly, it ;Irene tfnhn M Ksilir Bosworth, said, and many, it may be believed, , " i.. w ,hxi sttWho

or even of the tiny sparrow. The aii-ship was a pleasing invention and at the same tini a disappointment. Now comes word, that the Wright brothers, who go their quiet way undisturbed by what other men are doing, are said to have 'invented a contrivance that will enable man actually to fly as the bird flies, to manipulate wings and to; be free from the need of motor machinery. This announcement a few years ago would have been received with jeers and

(classed with perpetual motion stories, wnne tne wngDts would have been bidden to read the pathetic tale of Darius Green, who thought he had made a like invention. But the Wrights today can not be dismissed so lightly. It is difficult to believe that they have devised such a contrivance, but their new ventures command respectful treatment because of what they have accomplished, and the public will await with hopeful, expectant interest the appearance of the new machine. Meanwhile it may indulge in a little speculation. If it is to- come to pass that man may attach wings to his shoulders and fly off above om heads, will he be able to assume the particular form of flight that he may fancy at any given time. Can he swim ' calmly about in the sky like the hawk or the easle? Can he. go flapping through the air like 'the now? Can he dart 'and gyrate like the swallow? Can he go swift'y and for long stretches like the migrating w:.jir fowl? And how many wings will serve his purpose? The seraphims seen by Isaiah in his had each six wines; "with twain he covered, his face, with twain he covered his feet, and with twain did he fly.', Shall we each have six, if we will, and use them all or each pair singly, as we desire in swifter or slower flight I The news emanating from (lie Wrijht workshop stirs curiosifv ami imagination. Accounting Law Invalid. (Richmond Item.) For the very good and substantial reason that "it assumes to authorise the taking of county funds, belonging to the taxpayers, without notice, without a hearing and without right of appeal, thereby deny i ing to the citizen or taxpayer the , dr.o process of law reserved to hit.i by the Federal, as well as tiiestat . constitution,'' Judge Yurpillat o the Starke-Pulaski Circuit Court holds the new state accounting lav. unconstitutional. In a compreher.sive decision, the court elucidate land holds that nowhere else in tin j country is there to be found ; I statute that permits of the takinjof public f untls for any purpose. ! without due respect for t lie rights o? the taxpayer whose money it- i - T 1 1 absence of notice to the officials o the county, wherein it is proposed to have the .field examiners audi the books, is pointed out as a vit.il weakness', for the reason that i.i all law, where there is an alleg 1 cause for lesal action, civil or eriiv.inal, the rights of the accused a protected and rightfully, iealousl . suarde.l in the presumption that they are inno"ent until provetl guilty. i The right of the Legislature t control the funds of the county is adnittcd in the decision. Put the unfairness of an arbitrary seizure ' f .$10 per day, without' allowing to ' officials the right of conserving r defending the integrity of their .ist, is held to be without wariiant in the state constitution and contrary to all principles of justice. The decision of 'Judge Vurpillat h:s more than a local significance. vj There is not a county in the state I wherein an examination has been i ivade of the public records, that 1' ere has not been created a good cruse for complaint, in the early days ot its operation, the cnarge was made that the Democratic ad ministration was using the statute with a view to exposing Republican officials for mishandling the funds intrusted -o them. The publicity given to the examiners' reports before tne accused l a 1 an opportunity even to learn that a shortage had been discovered, to. say nothing of brimrintr in an explanation - or de fense, created a bitterness against an otherwise highly desirable state sovernmental bureau. The extraordinary 'expense attach ins to the small army of high-pah exerts that has .grown (up under the present administration, and the fact that the original idea of securing a uniform -system of public ac counts appears.-to have given away to a determination to extort where possible funds, -sufficient to make a showing of economy for the bureau nave aroused'Jbe people and. tin accounting may take on a differen character. .
