Plymouth has her quote of opium
fiends. They show up in the drug

chase if anyone is close by. Any old
man can tell an opium iiend
A Jacksonville magistrate who it is

The Ross House enjoyed some genu.

Winter has just begun. This morning
we thought that the ground hog would
fail to see his make up today, but at 3:2O
this afternoon he came out and old Sol
smiled sweetly upon his hOgship. SO
now make your calculations to endure
six weeks more of good solid winter.
A party of eight drove from Knox
this morning to catch the closing words
of the attorneys in the case. Down in
Starke county they expect a conviction
and they want the hemp. No life SEN
tence goes. If Sutherlin is guilty, they
say that be is awful guilty, and ought
to have the full benefit of the law
rope and all.
During the Sutherlin trial the indie
pendent has given all the evidence
without comment. When it came to
sizing up human nature this paper
said some things which probably did
not meet with hearty reception from
a certain class. BE that as it may we
feel confident that the Independent has
met the appreciation of the community
in the frank and fearless manner in
which this case has been reported.
If Gov. Mount succeeds in discover
ing and bringing to the bar of justice
the men guilty of the Riley county
lynching outrage of last summer he will
have accomplished a good deal even if
he does not secure their conviction in
the courts. They stand convicted al
ready by public opinion and If their
identity is revealed .they.will ever after
carry the brand of Cain upon their
brows.
Let no man get it into his head that
because he is candidate he is either in
or "out of politics." The running for
office is only an incident of politics.
1t is the steady going voter the man
who believes in his party and its prin.
ciples who shows his loyalty by talking
fol- his principles whether a campaign
is on or not and who never fails to be at
the polls. He is the man who is in
politics and not the man who after a
debate in the convention announces
himself tout OF politics" when he was
never 10 save for place and pelt.
