ENFORCING THE LAW. So at last an arrest has been made- of an automobilist charged with running too fast. Judging from frequent reports and complaints of various persons at various places, it was time. Mayor Bowell declared he was gomg to enforce the law, and he has made a beginning. But just hold still a minute and see if he mates good on it. THE UNION MEETINGS. One nctieeable good accomplished already by the Union Revival meetings, which have been going on now for two weeks, is the good fellowship in evidence between the different pastors and members of the churches that have taken part in the work. If the meetings accomplish nothing more than this they will have paid for .the efforts put' forth. But there is also shown a readiness to put into continued use and power this good, feeling among the churches by the formation of a "Men and Religion" movement in the city. If this is done, and the members are given some work more re3l and in earnest than. they have been nr. customed to work which will stir their naturally religious beings to the dept is with a great purpose of worthv accomplishment then this may be called in truth a "revival and be worthv of the name. - HELPING HOSPITAL. - Those people of Lapaz who. are soliciting donations for the Plymouth hospital are both generous and wise, and accordingly deserve the prais of all, especially in this county. It w. unusual tor a community to see the benefits to be derived from a good hospital, and, without ocl-!nrr f ffm rn t CI 1n boom solicitation of funds to help the in- ' stitution. This county needs a good hospital to care for its sick properly. The fact has long been seen and com- . mented on by local physicians. They all dislike to take patients to South Bend. Ft.- Wayne or Laporte both be cause of the expense necessarily atl.iJinir iinnn Hia fr!n nrtA the flflU""'"r ger to the patient -in many- cases. ' A hospital at home will save time for patients and doctors, save money. nnd best of all, save life. We need to save all we can of all of these, and those who help do this by helping the hospital, are to be thrice . thanked for their kindly aets." NEED OP ' COMMISSION.' . The 'present telephone situation in Plymouth, which is similar to that in many other "places, shows the r need of a state commission to regu- ' late the telephone business. How, easy, it would be for a commission similar to the railway commission to investigate the situation here and compel conneetons between the two companies on an equitable basis. . Power to regulate the - telephone business could easily be given our railway commission in addition to its present powers, and avow tne necessity of creating a new board. The telephone business and telegraph business are kindred to the railwa ..-Inifc on I it xennld hti entirely appropriate to combine the regulation cf all these agencies of modern business under the same commission. It is to be hoped that the next legislature will enact such a law, in order that business in all the state may be faciliated and expenses incident to telephone use be cut down. In the meantime we will have to hobble along on crutches, ; each city trying to do the best it can by in ducing companies to get togetherHow much better it would be fct -the state. to "work for the people in ueh matters, bringing about just and needed changes without any waste of time and with an ease which the power of the laws give. a inrw augiiueht. While sweeping deductions based on the socialist victories in various cities and towns are not warranted Irv the facts, because a ballot cast in a local election dfves not mean that the voter is a socialist, but rather that he is dissatisfied with the existing order r of things in his p-rticular city or town, it is plain that the country is on'' the verge of a uzt political ahgnt- The socii:!Lzt and the independ?at victories

point the same thing. That we will eventually, and not in the very distant future, have a radical and a conservative party there an be no doubt. That the national socialist leaders see the coming division will be between radicilism and conservatism is clear. While they believe that in the new alignment the socialist party will become dominant and while they are not counseling a modification of socialist doctrines, they are at the same time striking a decidedly new note. That new note is conservative in tone. The party lead ers have already warned their followers that the use of socialism as a bogy, which is, or has been, represented as seeking to destroy all existing institutions, will be impossible hereafter. Putting this somewhat differently, the party leaders are holding that responsibility may well beget moderation. Thus, whether or not socialists generally will willingly admit it, they are now being counseled to be less radical in their preachments. It therefore apears that a coming together of radicals may be expected. By this it is meant that those of less radical tendencies and the ex tremists will eventually find a common ground. This proving true, the conservatives may naturally be expected to also get together. This will mean nothing more nor less than a new alignment with radicalism predominant on the one hand and conservatism on the other. South .Bend Tribune.

The funeral will leave the house at nine o'clock Saturday morning, and go to Pleasant View church north of Inwood, where the services will be held, with interment near there at eleven o'clock. The writer was personally acquainted with Ruth McClurg as a girl and can testify to her loving, devoted disposition. A sweeter girl does not live than she was. Kind and affectionate, modest and unassuming; she was a model for those about her. She will be missed in the circle of her acquaintances as well as in the home, and her husband as well as her father's family have the sympathy of all of her many friends. MARRIAGES Blanchard-Clark.

BT 1ST PRIZE AT APPLE SHOW WALTER VONNEGUT OF CULVER HAS BEST IN CLASS OF GRIMEl GOLDEN. STATE SHOW VAS GOOD Although Money Was Lost On It. All Apple Growers Present Want Another Next Year VaJue of Packing. Marshall countv mav concrratuIhte herself that "she Von a ' first prize at the state apple show which was brought to a close Saturday. Walter Vonaegut of Culver took the first prize on the tray class of Grimes G olden apples, under the decision of judge H. E. Vaudeman of Washfington, D. C, ' Though successful from an edueational point of v-ew the firstImliana e gh did QOt f itgdf V . .... , , G , .financially. Although the final ac- " " " - ivmuh-s na; vi ii uiau; it i. timated that the apple show commission will bet in debt about .$1500. 'It was hoped the attendance re ceipts would be large enough to meet expenses. ('. N. Lindley, of Salem president of the Indiana Horticultural Society which appointed the apple show com mission said the apple show undoubt edlv would 1h made an annual af fair, lie, and other otYieers of the society and members of the commis sion, are confident there will be no financial looses in future-years. One of the chief expenses this yeai has been for .prizes. The commission offered 2,000 in prizes. Thev have been approached by many firms and corporations that have promised to offer attractive prizes if the sbow is repeated. Exhibitors as a rule are satisfied with the treatment accorded them at the show though complaint has been made that the Indiana School for Feeble Minded Youth, a state in stitution which has profited in its orchards by special treatment from Purdue university, was allowed to compete with private individuals. The institution took the $200 prize offered for the best box of apples of anv variety. C. N.n Lindley came within half a point of winning the prize with a box of Rome Beauties. It i said state institutions will not be allowed to enter in future shows. Final action as to whether there will be a show next vear will be taken at the meeting of the Indiana Horticultural Society the first Wed nesday in December. Practically all the apples that were exhibited in the show have been disposed of at private sale. It is estimated there were three thous and bushels. The prevailing price for the best apple: was $2 a bushel, though some sold as high as $3 and some low as $1. It was found unneesarv to hold an auction. Of the eleven who won the most fusts, six came from' the central part of the state, and that section had two exhibitors -that took twenty and twenty-one firsts. , respectively. Chris Kinir, of Rusltville. took twenty-one firsts, and R. V. Fielding, of Glen wood.' won twenty firsts. Chris King also has . the distinc lion of havings exhibited ' the only perfect apple ' in the show. The iudge. II. E. Yandeman, said that the plate of Kiiigs exhibited were be vond critic'sm in every respect, and he awarded the sweepstake prize to that plate without hesitation. Griiaea Gcldens in Favor.

C, Impressed this upon them at every opportunity The management of the show ha3 beeen congratulated on having secured Mr. Yandeman to . judge the exhibits.

He said there was nothing lacking in the size or quality of the fruit. He said that the show did not rank in size with ones in the west. FIRE IN POLK TOWNSHIP. Residence of Geo. Dolph Destroyed With Loss of $2500 Family Left Without Shelter. The residence of Geo. Dolph, son of A. W. Dolph, a half mile east of Teegarden, caught fire last night just as the family were eating supper and burned to the ground. The fire caught because of a defective flue, and under the fierce galo that was blowing no powe. could have saved the building. Without any fire fighting apparatus Mr. Dolph was helpless. It was with great difficulty that the family saved the barn about 100 feet away and other buildings. The fire was first noticed bv the little girl who had gone outside. Only part of the furniture was saved. The loss will be perhaps. $2500 and so far as we cotild learn no insurance was carried. ! The family thus left helpless in the night, with a frightful blizzard blowing, and without' their overcoats were in a serious condition.

PAPER ON INDIANS. Mrs Holtzendorff Tells of "Indians of Today" Before Saturday Club At Swindell Home. V The last meeting of the Saturoa Club was t!d at the home of Miss Minnie Swindell. Mrs. HoltzendorfT read a very interesting paper on "The Indians of To-day.' There arc in the United States today about 300.000 Indians and half-breeds. Among the races, of these she enumerated the following: Athabascas, Apachees, Hopi. Navajo, Algonquin. Iroquois. Musgohegau, Sioux, Creeks Chickasaws. Pueblos and others. Our government guards the Indians as our wards. Chief watcher over their interests is the Indian Agent, appointed by the. President for a term of four 'years. The government conducts, more than two hundred schools for the Indians. Many feel that the government aid to the Indians fosters pauperism and it is said by some that a few years will see an end of Indian tribes, located " in their common reservation. Instead of that the land will ho parceled out into individual allotments, and the Indians will -become Indian-American citizens. ' The Indians need industrial education. Thev take to mechanical arts. Many Tndian youths are to be found iq the railway shops of the southwest. The only real American handicraft is the work of the Red man. Handicraft to have an artistic valii must be "the spontaneous emwth of necessity.' Such are. the baskets bowls and rugs of the' Indians. They were not suggested. but grew from life. The old men and women ara the best handicraft workers, putting into their work the primitive sincerity of the, Indian nature. Their work is hard to imitate. The basket weaver's . basket will hsi a life-time, as win also the famous Navajo blankets, and the :lver-sraiths use only real silver for the'r work. No two Navajo blankets are exactly alike, for the weavers have a superstition against that. The Apaches make the best baskets, working sometimes many months on one. The finest are w ater proof and arc a nearly perfect as can be made. The fihct pottery is made by the Pueblos. In these' a a in the other Indian crafts enters a spiritual element which mak.es the worker love his work ami put the best of his soul expression into it.
