The Eleven Groups of Men Who
Control. The control of the immense interests transportation, finance, and industrial which center in Wall street, includes eleven groups. These are distinct be cause of the methods of their work, and because of the proper ties in which they operate. These eleven constitute dis tinct groups, and though inter related in a thousand ways, act independently. When, however, it comes to political control and national legislation, they move with rythmic tread. They may be roughly classified as follows: 1. J. Pierpont Morgan, with his chief lieutenant, Mr. Perkins, and a group of bank presidents, trust officers, and railroad heads, as supports. The Vanderbilt in terests are in practical harmony wun this group. 2. John D. Rockefeller, having as his lieutenant Messrs. Rogers, William Rockefeller, and Stillman, each exercising control over a host of officials at the head of banks and industrial corporations ; and the astute lawyers who are at their instant beck and call. 3. Belmont inferior in organization and intellectuality to the preceding groups, but with the Rothchilds standing ever in the background representing unlimited capital for any enterprise. 4. Thomas F. Ryan, with the heads of the great corporations he controls as his business lieutenants; and supported also by his political alies, Murphy, the leaders of Tammany, Grover Cleveland, and certain men prominent in Republican forces. 5. James J. Hill, with his control of the northwest, working out his plans not as speculative but as industrial successes. Cassatt and the Pennsvlvania railway group Mr. Schiff the financial manager jir.cluding also the banking firm of Philadelphia and New York who find profit in the connection. 7. Edward H .Harriman, having Frick as counsel and Odell as political lieutenant controlling the central continental, southwestern, and southern Pacific coast lines of transportation.! 8. George Gould, with Presir dent JerTery, head of the Rio Grande system, as his chief lieutenant; working mainly along the lines of railway development, and having the support of the great fortunes of the Gould family. 9. Messrs. Moore, Reid, and Leeds "the Rock Island crowd," with Speyer as the financial ally; a minor influence barely preserving its independence of the larger forces, but undoubtedly to be reckoned with as an independent hulk sailing the financial seas. 10. The industrial group Messrs. Westinghouse, in control of his extensive electrical and manufacturing interests, the Guggenheims, and the vast industries of the smelter trust, Schwab of the Bethlehem Steel company, and certain other men of high vitality who have to be counted. 11. The Independents, who for convenience may be called the marauders Lawson, Gates, and Keene. No attempt is made here to more than broadly indicate the cleavage lines by which the financial world is separated. No attempted analysis of these groups has been put in print, except in a. fragmentary way. It should therefore be found interesting to the general public to keep these divisions in mind if they are to understand the various operations which are reported in the press from day to day. Twentieth Century. A Mistake in Polk Township. The Polk township convention Friday, January 12 elected F. H. Lehman a delegate to the cong ressional nominating convention which has not yet been called. The convention no doubt, meant to do right, but that convention had no more authority to elect a delegate to , the convention of l'J06 than a convention which met ten years ago would have had. Neither the state commit tee district committee nor county committee had yet been organiz ed and no delegates can be elect ed to the congressional conven tion until it. is called by District Chairman Moorman and a date set for choosing such delegates. Then the township can elect Mr. Lehman if it wishes to do so. t m The Nearest He Ever Got To It "t)id you ever run for ctnct?" - a "No, but I also ran' once." Paying His Ancestor's Debts. A., farmer living near Elkhart recently received a letter containing a remittance in payment of a debt incurred by the sender's grandfather more than 40 years ago. " The man to whom the money was sent is the heir of the farmer to whom the note was made and says that he knew nothing of teh debt until he received the' money. Such examples of genuine honesty are indeed rare.
IGNORANCE OF FUTURE.
Imaginings of One Age Not Satisfactory to Another. We know nothing whatever about the next world, says the London Spectator. Even those who acept the Christian revelation most heartily and most completely must admit with St. John that "it doth not yet appear what we shall be." Christ taught and His disciples believed, that the soul of man is eternal and does not die with the body. St. Paul sumed up Christ's teachings on the subject of immortality when he said that He had "abolished death." Against this ognorance man has forever chafed. Upon the dark background of the future the religious imagination, helped by the inner light of conscience, throws beautiful and terrible pictures. But with each succeed ing age the pictures dissolve and change. Knowledge cannot pierce the visible darkness which divides this world from the next. As the years grow on we gain wisdom, but not certainty. Wisdom that, becoming wise, meant making slow and sure advance. From a knowledge proved in errer to acknowledged ignorance. All popular ideas of heaven or hell are just now fading away. The conventional heaven failed to satisfy the aspirations of man and all conceptions of the everlasting tortures of the damned fade before a new consistency of thought which cannot reconcile eternal punishment with "the knowledge and love of God' Our forefathers looked forward in some moods to everlasting rest and never-ending worship, in others to a happy and prosperous life in a perfectly governed and perfectly healthy city. At times, inspired by the love of nature, they Christianized the classic pictures of the Elysian fields. today the normal man does not desire rest when he asks himself what life he would choose. Rest suggests death, and we desire more abundant life. To most healthy bodies and healthy minds effort is in itself delight ful. If men do not need to make an effort for their living, they will do it for their pleasure. Successful effort brings more happiness than anything else, taking life as a whole. - The thought of ever lasting worship satisfies fewer and fewer people today. It be longs to an age when men thought of God as a kind of king, who took perpetual pleasure in homage. We still sing of "sweet fields beyond the swelling flood, and find refreshment in the thought, but no one desires to live forever wandering amid the beauties of nature. The thought of an ideal civic life is still attractive, but the heavenly Jerusalem brings thoughts of Utopia now rather than of the everlasting. We still pray against "everlasting damnation," and desire to get rid of the worm of remorse that dieth not, but our prayers, however earnest, no longer bring visions of the burning pit. Such visions would be called up now adays rather by the "Divine Com edy than by the church service. Other hopes charm us today and other fears restrain. These again, will change their form in the next generation. The conditions ofj this life alter, and, consequently, the conceptions of that life to which we instinctively look for consolation and explanation, reward and retribution change also. Nevertheless, these pious opinions of the past, the outcome as they are of a spiritual preoccupation more concentrated than anything of which the present age is capable, are not without their value. Imaginary they may have been, but God is also in sleep, and dreams advise, Which He hath sent propitious, some great good presaging. We smile reverently as we look back. Crowns and cities, feasts and sweet fields, all melt away together. Still, the words of Christ, which cannot pass away while human nature remains, sound in our hearts. "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing." Earlier Report. The South Bend Tribune Friday received the information from Washington that Congressman A. L. Brick had recommended M. V. Starr of the News-Times, as Postmaster at Goshen to succeed C. D. Sherwin, whose term soon expires. Mr. Sherwin took his office Feb. 14, 1902, though his com mission was dated Jan. 20. M. A. Cornell held over that length of time. Death of Dr. Pocock. Dr. E. H. Pocock died very suddenly at his home in Oakland City, Okla., Wednesday, January 10. He resided for many years on a farm east of Walnut. He was an excellent physician, a fine scholar, a profound reasoner and a staunch Republican. He possessed many noble qualities and enjoyed the esteem of all who knew him. He was about 68 years old.
CHAIRMAN J. P. GOODRICH
Re-elected Chairman of the Re publican State Central Committee. The Republican state central committee, composed of the chairmen of the 13 congressional districts, met at ndianapolis for organization. The contest for the chairmanship of the state com mittee resulted in the re-election of James P. Goodrich to that im portant and honorable position. TT . riis election nas Deen conceded since the election of district chair man on last Tuesday. His oppon ent-was George A. H. Shidler of Marion, former warden of the prison in Michigan City. Mr. bhidler received only four votes of the thirteen. C. W. Riddicks, editor of the Winamac Republican, was elected secretary for the state committee. Frank D. Stalnaker was chosen treasurer. The nominations were all made unani mous and the organization of the state committee was harmonious and smooth throughout and the committee will start out upon the approaching campaign work in perfect harmony and surrounded by conditions foreboding a most successful campaign. Career Built on Integrity Man's Best Welfare. The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life. Prov x. 2. Without water life cannot be. Take water from the earth and the fevers of death burn their fires. Where deserts blight, a well of water is a possession beyond price. To the Hebrew of the Psalms and Proverbs, therefore, who knew the heat and the distress of scorching sands, who knew water as the synonym of life, no more powerful language could be used to set forth the value of righteousness than the brief sentence which says, "The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life." He speaks the truth always and his word is like water from cool wells. It refreshes. It vitalizes. Man builds nothing tha is not builded on truth. The hands of his daily toil move in truth. This is the reality from ore to engine, from quarry to house, from forest to furniture. In dealing with things he is dealing with truth. If he deals truthfully, the uni verse conspires to bless him with achievement. If untruthfully, gravitation, iron, wood, water, fire, the truth of things, presses the bitter cup of failure to his lips. In man's relations with his fellow man, great civilizations, as great worlds, can be built only upon righteousness, upon every man's speaking truth with his neighbor. Every great state is builded in truth and goes to ruin in falsehoods, through disloyalty to its moral ideas. Notwithstanding appearances to the contrary, this is the fact which the universe in its every atom sanctifies. Through the mists of the ap parent look with clear eyes into the reality. Build your career on the intecrritv of the universe. mastered in friendly wise by the integrity of yourself. Then you are building so wisely that every atom of the universe works with you, willing your success. "Beau ty is its own excuse for being." Righteousness is it own justifi cation. Truth is its own bliss. Whether the eyes of men see or not, the joy in which God loves and lives enters into the heart of the righteous. Within the soul of the righteous is life. To that life is the abundant good fortune with which righteousness rewards its own. When he expresses that righteousness it is like the hills expressing themselves in streams which run among the valleys, giving life to bird and beast, to grass and tree, making farms possible and the human life free of the fevers of death. There is nothing so fine as a righteous .man. No beauty can equal the beauty of holiness. It has a , lövliness more gracious than flowers. It has a charm beyond the enchantment of birds. It has a grandeur outdoing mountain and sea. No sunsets are so splendid, not suns nor stars nor dawns, not music nor Shakespeare; not canvasses, nor cathedrals; not anything built by man. The chief passion of the soul should be for holiness ; for in its beauty all other beauty is hallowed; in its spirit all other achievement has worth and in the soul of the achiever the eternity of God is awake. Things pass. A brief while and the places of earth we know are no more; forever. Even while here things cannot satisfy. They disappoint. They enslave. The greatest good fortune anyone can achieve is integrity of heart. The divinest welfare is that conscious rectitude, the peace of which nev er forsakes a man through all years and all worlds. The imper ishable riches of God are his.good fortune whose youth is a 'wellSpring of water, John Milton Scott.
THE CHRONICLE " BOLTS. Will Tru to Disrupt the Republican Party In Marshall Gountu. Paper Established by Walter Brown and other Bosses Declares That They Will Rule or Ruin. The Chronicle, a paper established in Plymouth by Walter Brown of Elkhart, now in the Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, and his followers. in this county, to crush the Tribune and give a half dozen "bosses" entire control of the Republican party in Marshall county, boldly declares that it will smash the party and disrupt it for the next ten years, unless said "bosses" are given entire control of the county organization. The Chronicle starts out as follows: "Wm. G. Hendricks was elected county chairman by the Republican Central Committee, Saturday by a vote of 18 to 6 over L. J. Hess." After making this statement it declares that the election of Mr. Hendricks is an outrage on the Repubicans of Marshall county and a disgrace to the party, notwithstanding the fact that L. J. Hess, his opponent, made a motion to declare Wm. G. Hendricks, the unanimous choice of the Republican committee of Marshall county and the motion was carried without a dissenting vote, so that Mr. Hendricks received the votes of every member of the committee in attendance. The Chronicle makes a great fuss because the five votes of Green and Walnut township were not cast in the convention, when no member of the committee from either township was present, and the only Republican present from Walnut township said he had been authorized by one member of the Walnut township committee to come to Plymouth and cast the vote of the township. There was no Republican present from Green township, yet the Chronicle says it was an outrage that A. H. Stevenson, who was not a committeeman from either township, was not allowed to cast the five votes of the two townships. All this is dished up to its readers after the statement had been made by Mr. Boys that the committee had unanimously decided that only members of the committee could vote. The Chronicle says that Mr. Stevenson cried when he got back to Argos, but we guess Mr. Boys, or the Chronicle which ever you please, is mistaken. . It was Postmaster Pickerl that cried. The Chronicle would not be much concerned about the tears of Mr. Stevenson. The Chronicle says the committee was probably right in deciding that Union township must allow each precinct to elect its own committeeman, but it says the county committee had no right to seat Samuel Medbourn and J. F. Garn as committeman from that township. The committee on credentials gave it as their opinion that Mr. Garn and Mr. Medbourn had been chosen by their respective precincts and should be recognized i committeemen from Union township. When the report of the committee was read and a motion was made to adopt it Chairman McCrory called for remarks. Mr. Behmer and Mr. Easterday were both present, but neither of them offered any objection to the adoption of the report, neither did Postmaster Wiseman nor any of the Chronicle men of the county or anybody else say one word in opposition to the report, and no two men in the county have today, any stronger legal claims to their positions than Messrs. Medbourn and Garn. Notwithstanding all these facts the Chronicle declares that the officers chosen by the committee Saturday, January 13, should not be recognized. During the past four years the Tribune has loyally supported the county committee, although its officers were chosen for the express purpose of doing this paper all the harm they could. Neither before nor after the organization of those committees was one word said by us about the disreputable means used to elect men who would "give the Tribune the worst of it" Had the "bosses" of those committees seconded the efforts of the Tribune four years ago and had not traded off county candidates wherever they could, we believe that most of the COUnty Republican candidates would have been elected. We hope we shall not have to tell what we know about the methods of the "bosses during the past six years and the combination they made with Walter Brown because the Tribune had criticised his rule or ruin methods in calling conventions and directing the work of committees to thwart the will of the people and establish boss rule in every county of the Thirteenth district. Every newspaper in Indiana now indorses the course of the Tribune at that time. The Chronicle has never been a Republican paper. It has simply been the organ of Walter Brown and the bosses he set up in Marshall county before he was sent to the penitentiary, and Mr. Boys will learn that these men cannot disrupt the Republican party of Marshall county. If Mr. Boys had been born and educated in Marshall county he would know that previous to six years ago no combination was ever made by a faction of Republicans to place certain men at the head of the county committee to parcel out the offices and select bosses. Previous to that time men were chosen committeemen because they beleved in the success of Republican principles, and t'-iese men came to Plymouth, thoroughly canvassed the situation, and selected as officers of the committee, not the choice of a few bosses, but men whom they believed would truly represent the party. Even when Mr. Shunk was chosen chairman six years ago against the advice of every member of the committee from Center township, he received but eleven votes, only members of the committee present being allowed to vote, and only 21 votes being cast. It was not until two years ago that a man from Walnut township, another from German, a third from Union and two or three Center township "bosses" presumed to cast the votes for a half dozen townships in Marshall county. "Boss rule was abolished in Marshall county at the meeting of the committee Saturday, January 13, and hereafter the oldest, staunchest, truest Republicans in the county will not be told that they are not wanted at committee meetings, and even" the Chronicle managers will be welcomed if they "bring forth fruits, meet for repentance,' seek a home in the Republican fold, and are willing to accord equal rights to .every Republican in the county. Party treason never prospers and men who conspire to destroy their party organization never succeed. Horace Greeley, Lyman Trumbull; Carl Schurz and a hundred other Repubicans as big as they, tried this in 1872, and the world knows the result. Marshall county Republicans 'were never in better shape to meet the' enemy than they are today. Let every Republican buckle on his armor and do his best from now on until next November and the success of Republican candidates will be ensured.

How soon we grow discontented with things in these modern days. We get new homes, and straightwaythey must be remodeled, redecorated, - refurnished. We get new automobiles and in a month we get another. We have new public buildings, and soon the public begins to complain at lack of convenience and adaptability to needs. We were satisfied with the kerosene lamps until gas came into use, but soon sixteen power burners were too dark and we demanded the Welsbach, and we quickly tired of si-teen-candle power electric bulbs and wanted thirty-two, and lots of them. In old days we were not so unsatisfied. From the log house to the frame was a step so long that once taken there was little desire to take another soon. From the rattling old farm wagon to a comfortable democrat wagon was an ascent that marked a long period of patience, and from the latter to the surrey was not a question of months but of years: After the fireplace the base burner was a comfort too great to be put aside too readily. But now we combine the two in modern grate and supplement both by a hot water plant. Will we ever setle down to content with comfort, and not be all the time reaching out after novelty, change ?

The remains, accompanied by immediate friends and members of the family were taken to the home of her sister, Mrs. Frank Shafer at Argos and Tuesday, at 2 o'clock, funeral services, conducted by Rev.
