He Pants For Fame.

4 boy in one of cur schools has been
suspended for reading the following es
say: "Pants are made for men and not
men for pants. Women are made for
men and not for pants. When a man
pants for a woman ard woman pants
for man they are pair of pants, such
pants do not last.
Pants are like molasses, they are
thinner in hot weather and thicker IN
cold weather. The man in the moon
changes his pants during the eclipse.
DO not 60 to the pantry for pants, you
might be mistaken. Men are often mis-
taken in pants, such mistakes makes
"breecheS" of promise. There has been
much discussion as To whether pants are
singular or plural 1t seems TO us, when
men wear pants they are plural but
when they do not wear pants it is singu-
lar. The men go on tear in their pants
and it is all right but when the pants go
on tear it is all wrong
NJ. Lauer X Son, of our city, are the
selling agents at Plymouth, Ind, for the
world renowned 81 pants which are
made by the Apollo Custom Pants
Mnfrs., at Chicago, Ill. These pants do
not 60 on a tear, neither does the old
man Lauer or his son. We know you
need pair of pants, call on them at
once and order a pair. We are aware
that pants are made for men but women
wear them now days just the same
Lauer & Son will be pleased to show
these samples TO you.

Social OBLIGATIONS.

The moral states of society is the
foundation of true security. Every call
ing and every profession must be sub
jected to the laws of morality. 1t is
Legitimate enquiry whether lawyer is
morally justified in defending crimi-
nal he knows is guilty, and in exerting
his eminent ability and honorable influ-
ence, gained as it is by an honest and
upright life, in attempting to shield a
criminal he knows is guilty from the
just punishment of heniOuS crime.
We are aware that certain forms of
law are necessary and that every crimi-
nal is entitled to council and far trial.
But lawyers first:duty, in our estima-
ton, is to society and the public welfare,
and the first aim of society is perhaps
not so much the punishment of the Of
fender, as it is the protection OF society
by the penalties of the law on offenders
againstlts peace and safety, so that such
offenses may be prevented.
While it may be professional duty
with lawyer to defend man without
reference to his character, it certainly
cannot be either professionalism moral
obligation binding a lawyer or any citi-
zen, to defend man without reference
to the results on society. 1t is safe to
say that no lawyer is under any moral
obligation, or legal either, for that mat
ter, to prostitute his superior talent and
abilities, his adeptness in the quirks and
tecnicalities of the law, or his great and
honorable influence before court, and
turn him loose upon society when he

A DAILY.
On Monday, April the 18th The In
dependent Will Launch a Daily.

Although the INDEPENDENT has been
established in Plymouth six short
months, it has for the past three months
seriously contemplated the possibility
of publishing an evening daily in Plym-
Outh. Several reasons have been pre-
Sented.
First, we believe the people of Plym-
outh will appreciate a paper that will
bring to their homes every evening the
happenings of their city, and neigh
boring localities that transpire during
the day.
Second, we believe the merchants will
be willing to patroniZe a daily paper
that will present to our people a good
readable journal every evening.
Third, that the prospects of Plymouth
are hattering enough, to encourage the
production of such an enterprise.
While we nave interviewed very few
of our business men and citizens in re-
gard to this move, we know that the
only way to determine whether daily
paper would be appreciated, is to buckle
on the harness and make the effort. We
know that daily paper in a city the
size of Plymouth cannot make fortune.
But again we know, that to give the city
the representation that is necessary to
bring her up to the front ranks among
cities throughout the country, daily
paper is one of the adjunctS that will
help produce the success she deserves.
So under existing circumstances. and
at the time when our city is ready for a
revival of progressive enterprises, the
INDEPENDENT, which always proposes
to lee IN the lead, comes to the front and
announces its intentions.
AS to the success of this effort, We
leave to the people of Plymouth and the
future. The daily will be an evening
paper, and delivered at the home IF its
subscribers every evening at five o'clock.
Believing our past experience in the
newspaper business is such as entities
us to some conception of the enterprise
INC pI US ICSSit
people of our fair city will at least give
this new publication trial, we will do
our utmost to make it worthy of being
recievd into every home.

A New Railroad Scheme.

With the opening of spring come
rumors Of advancement and prosperity
III many lines. Several of the promi-
Hent business men and citizens of Ply
mouth are arranging to erect residences
and many business blocks are to be built
but the best news has come to the sur
face within a day or two. This new
scheme is an electric railroad from this
city to Goshen and, from present indi-
cations, when the hot rays of summer
beat down on us poor mOrtals, the new
road will be in practical operation.
On Tuesday of this week Col. VIM
Sears, formerly of this city, was in Ply
mouth in the interest of the road. He
was found in the FIRST National Bank
by an INDEPENDENT reporter and in
response to inquiries said: ~ es, we are
working up the road and hope to have
it in operation by the first of July" In
addition, the INDEPENDENT learned the
following facts: As above stated, the
road will run from Plymouth to Goshen
a distance of about forty miles. The
road will be an electric one and the
power house for the road will probably
be located at Bremen. as the point near
est to the center of the proposed line
The road will not be of the narrow
gauge variety, but of standard width

in Chicago, but the headquarters of the
road will be in Plymouth and, being a
terminal station, this city will contain
the offices for all the actual workings of
the road.
The company has not yet decided on
name for the new road and that will
be left with the stockholders.
The company will be capitalized at
81 100000 and most of the stock will be
sold to Chicago capitalists who are back
of the plan. Col. Sears spent a couple
of days this week in Plymouth inter.
esting local moneyed men in the new
road and it is expected that several big
blocks of stock will be sold here. 1t is
the object of this to have the officer:
Plymouth men and have the road IL
their charge for operation. After hav

Got the Horse.

Saturday last Chief of Police Myers
returned from Rochester and brought
with him the horse and buggy stolen
from the barn of Lilly Wallack on last
Thursday night. The rig was left near
the toll-gate, two miles from Rochester,
the horse being let loose, and was found
by farmer who reported the matter to
the Rochester police. The hotel regis
ter at Rochester contained the names of
Harry Smith and John Anthony and
from the description of the men, Chief
Myers has fixed the men as Jack Foley
and Charley Rivers. He has no doubt
that these two men are the robbers who
took the rig. The fellows skipped out
and have not been heard of up to date.

Taken Suddenly Sick.

What looked like a case of attempted
self destruction on Saturday night
at the Windsor Hotel, but later it ap-
peared only a case of sudden sickness.
Finley Wiser, of Argos, came to town
Saturday to transact some business.
During the day he left his team at the
Windsor Hotel barns and in the even
ing started for them to go home. The
next thing seen of him he staggered into
the hotel Office and fell to the floor un-
conscious. Physicians were called and
two of them worked over him for sew
eral hours. He did not regain consci-
BUSINESS and it was not until Monday
that he knew where he was.
As soon as it was practicable, he was

The building is to be built and arranged

Observations.

When the first day of April opened
up, large number of our citizens who
had when boys, taken advantage of this
important date to utilize some scheme
of devilty, began to look around in a
suspicious manner for breakers. We
have not learned to what extent the
greater number of them succeeded il
evading some mischievOus pranks OF
the youngsters, but some, we learn, for
got their good resolutions and PROVED
easy victims before the day was over.

removed to the residence of Mr.. Moat.
an old friend, who resides mile from
this city. The attending physicians say
the trouble is an attack of spinal con-
gestion and the patient is still in a seri-
ous condition.

We observe with pleasure that one OF
Plymouth's citizens proposes to erect a
large grain elevator and grist mill on
land adjoining the l.. f. & W. road
This Improvement will be made this
summer and run by steam power. Thus
we learn about improvements that are
under contemplation, and which will
prove a source of revenue and benefit to
the people of Plymouth.

There are a certain class of men in
every community that will reluctantly
leave their coy bed in the morning,
even after their wife has kindled the
fire, gaze out of the window upon the
snOw-covered ground, and with their
hands deeply incased in their pockets,
watch their hustling neighbor plod
through the large snow drifts in front
of their residences with grim satisfac-
ton. They would no more think of
taking a snow shovel and remove the
obstruction from the walks in front of
their property, than they would of TAX
ing an axe and chop wood at a neigh
boring widows wood pile. This class
of men lives for self alone, and care
very little about the inconvenience their
inactivity causes their neighbors.
Then you will find another class who
are in a small degree influenced by the
actions of those mentioned above. Yet
while he cares very little tor the great
er portion of mankind, he will from a
selfish motive, manage to clear off the
snow from the doorstep to the front
gate, taking chances of finding a well
beaten path by the time he gets ready
to go down town. As a rule you will
discover that this mans wife brings in

the coal and water, and kindles the fire
in the morning.

But there are a large number who do
not wait for the men with the horse
and ow-plow, who when they arise in
the morning and see the snow on the
ground, without waiting even for a
breakfast. take the shovel and 60 to
work. He does not even take into con
sideratlon his neighbor's line but
thrashes the snow right and left. While
he is doing this serviceable work, he is
thinking of the school children who are
compelled to wade along the deep snow
bound streets, and helps, by his work of
a few moments, to fill their souls with
pleasant thoughts as they walk over his
clean walks. This class of men, though
they may not be wealthy, are always
ready to help along anything that will
prove beneficial. He believes in home
comforts and the prosperity of his city

Then while the evening shades settled
qnietly down over our city, betting
ending of the day was brought about by
the earth being canopied by the "beau-
ti(fooD" snow. The poet upon this relic
of 'winterdom" was enabled to once
more sit in some cOZy corner of his pa
latial mansion, and as the silent flaklets
quietly settled down upon the earthlets
allowed his poetical soul to soar, and
dash off beautiful rot. But our minC
has taken a more practical view of the
matter, and although spring is upon us
we will give our readers few pointer:
upon the different phases of human
nature that are preceptible in the aver
age man, when the sidewalks are COW
cred with snow.

We see that our city authorities have
stopped the building of a sidewalk on
the lot north of the postotlice. We are
informed that the ordinance provides
that walks upon our business streets
shall be made of concrete, stone or
brick. This is good ordinance and it
should be enforced. Real estate owners
along the principal streets of Plymouth
should be glad such an ordinance is in
effect, as it tends to enhance the value
of their property. While those who de
sire to put down wooden walks may
kick and roar, it is polite that our city
authorities be complied with.
