touched all hearts. 1t was the
| placing of little Mabel Bittinger
on the platform, and the reading
by Editor Pabor of a beautiful
poem entitled "Mabel.' At the
close he presented her to the as

President White graciously &C

Six years ago this coming May
the State Press Association met
in Tallahassee and went in a body
to the Worlds Fair.
1t was Mr.. Pabor's first meet

and his greeting of Mabel, and in
honor of their journey he wrote
an exquitely dainty poem, recit-

"Bittinger's Blue-Eyed Gal

AS this meeting would be Mr..
Ptbor's last with the association,
he going shortly to Grand juno

a journal there, he arranged with
President White to spring this
pleasant surprise on the audi

Mr.. Pabor's remarks, as he

"The blood is the life" Science
has never gone beyond that SIM
pie statement of scripture. But
it has illuminated that state men t
and given it q meaning ever
broadening with the increasing
breadth of knowledge. When
the blood IS chad" or impure it is
not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is
also clouded, the mind and judg-
ment are affected, and many an
evil deed or impure thought may
be directly traced to the impurity
of the blood. No one can be we'll

blood is impure. No one can have
a wholesome and pure life unless
the blood is pure. Foul blood can

The annual convention of the Ma
tional Educational association, now
m progress in Los Angeles cannot
fail to be of benefit to the teachers,
and, through them, to the general
public. The attendance is very
large and the subjects under dis
cussion will cover all the important
phases OF educational work. Many
addresses will be delivered by edu
Gators of the highest standing, and
the program of the convention calls
for lectures and discussions not only
on elementary and school methods,
but on all topics relating to the
work of rearing children 10 fully
developed manhood. The benefit
to the educators Individually, is not
all that is to be hoped for from a
convention of this kind. The an
nual meeting of these earnest men
and women, engaged in different
branches of educational work in
widely separated parts of the coun-
try, affords the strongest possible in
fluence toward a unification of the
educational system of the entire ma
ton. 1t is safe to say that most of the
educators at Los Angeles will come
away with their ambitions fixed up
on standards as high as are known
among educators anywhere in the
world. 1t is at such conventions
that the best standards may be tested.
AS the endeavor to attain such stand
ards is practically universal in this
country, the tendency of the annual
meetings is to bring about unity in
methods and systems of educational
work.

The price realized in the sale of
the Indianapolis News conveys
something of an idea of how much
more valuable independent papers
are than so-called party organs.
The News has had nothing that is
known under the head of party
patronage; it has no job printing
plant connected with its establish
ment. Its revenue came altogether
from the sale of papers and adver-
Using. Its annual profits are con-
siderably more than the combined
profits of all the other indianapolis
papers-democratic, republican, pop
ulist, prohibition and independent.
There is something very suggestive
in this. 1t is a pointer for politicians
and would be party bosses. In a
manner it explains what prompted
the late Wilbur F. Storey to make
an independent paper of the Chica-
go Times, and what impelled Joe
Pulitzer to pursue a similar course
with the New York World. South

Thoughts on Electric Matter.


Quite a numDer of business men ex-
pressed themselves on the street light
ing matter Friday, upon the solicita-
ton OF the contemporary daily. Most
of them were in favor of the city OWL
ing the electric light plant with string
of "ifs" "ifs" "ifs." If there were no
''ifs" in the way the entire population
would say amen. But TIE Indepen-
dent made it clear over a week ago that
the city could not buy the plant if it
wanted to do so. The matter was
brought up at the council meeting last
night and settled So far as the convic-
tions of every councilman, including
the mayor were concerned. The city
can only borrow $4,000. 1t has already
bonded Indebtedness of $4,000. This
leaves only $1,000 that the city can
borrow. 1t was made clear to the
council that the city could not meet
current expenditures and purchase an
electric light plant and also maintain a
safety reserve with only $1,000.
Mr.. Simons' electric plant could not
be purchased for $4,000. A municipal
water works plant at Bourbon and who
is engaged in establishing electric plants
where the cities take the ownership,
was here few days ago. He ivestl-
gated this plant here and stated en-
phatically that with the increased price
of copper wire, that this plant could
not be duplicated for less than $4,000.
So there we are. No one need be spas
mOdic. The city can not do what it is
incapable of doing.
Occasionally we find man who
theories that IL would be good thing
for the city to own the electric plant,
and not being of an investigating turn
of mind, he PUSHES to the street and
tells just why the city should own it
and winds up with the assurance that it
can If 1T wants to do so. Such fellows
either have the idea that their whang-
doodle appeals to the masses, who will
in turn classify them as little "Moseses"
and thus benefit their political prospects,
or else they are woefully ignorant when it
comes to practical business transactions.
The council is satisfied on this mat
ter that the city can't buy now, even if
it be advantageous. In consequence,
they decided to advertise for bids last
night.

Public Health In Indiana.

The independent lie in receipt of the
following circular letter from the state
health board:
Reports to the state board of health
show that compared with Nav there
was decrease in area of prevalence of
the following diseases Diphtheria
Group, influenza, pneumonia, measles,
bronchitis and toDsilitls. These are
called "house disease" because they are
principally induced by bad ventilation
When warm weather comes such dis
eases decrease because people seek the
open air.
The diseases which increased in area
of prevalence were: DiarrhOes, typhoid
fever, cholera morbus, dysentery and
cholera infantum. These last are dis
eases which are simply plain poisoning.
When summer comes moulds, ferments
and putrefactive organisms find their
way into our food, grow and flourish
and produce poisons, which pOlsOnS
cause cholera infsntum, dysentery, di-
arrho9a, cholera mOrbus.
"a proper care and preparation of
food would eliminate 30 per cent of
these diseases. 1t is not difficult to pre-
vent cholera infantum, which will Kill
hundreds of infants this summer"

1T is understood that the council
will advertize for bids for lighting.
This plan will doubtless relieve the
council from criticism yet it is very
evident that no man can come in
and bid successfully against the
present owner of the plant and
many citizens are fearful that the
city will in consequence be obliged
to pay more for electric lighting
than they would by accepting some
one of the bids already submitted

NOT RIGHT TO BUY.

The Independent will inform its
contemporary that it has never
claimed that the city ought not own
the electric plant, if all conditions
were favorable. We have claimed
that the city could not buy the cleo
trio plant if it would, and consider
ing the difficulties in the way at
present, it should not if it could. The
most of the business men who ex-
pressed themselves in favor of city
ownership of the electric plant, did
so believing that the rental price of

Bremen Wants Taxes Reduced.

Jacob Gardener, Lewis Foltz, 5. j.
Hayes, Jacob Vollmer, John Dietrich
and Harmon KnOblock, of this city, met
with the County Board of Equalization
at Plymouth last Thursday to protest
against the contemplated increase of
the appraisement of real estate i'm Ger
man township for the purpose of tax
alton. How they will succeed remains
to be determined. The proposition to
increase the real estate in this town
ship by FIVE per cent would be mani
testify unjust. In 1891 the real estate
in German township as appraised by
the township assessor, at what ap-
peared to be fair appraisement,
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1899-07-21

was increased by the County Board
OF Equalization ten per cent. The
appraisement by the assessor in 1895
was increased by the state board of
equalization twenty per cent. The ap-
praisement of 1899 by the township as
SCISSOR exceeded the sppreisement of
1891 and 1895 together with percent
age of the ten and twenty per cent
added by $4,000, while the other town
ships in the county were appraised at
from $4,000 to $4,000 less than they
were four years ago. German town

the incandescent lights, which they
use, would be lowered. But since
it has been made clear that the price
is just as likely to be raised for sew
eral years as lowered, these business
men are not so ardent in favor of
city ownership. If the city could
borrow money to purchase the plant,
the payments on said plant would
have to be made; an annual interest
of fully ST., 900 would have to be
paid; new engine is absolutely
necessary, necessitating an additional
expense of several thousand dollars /;
the wires are in very bad condition,
in many instances, the copper wire
being exposed. These wires will
have to be replaced with new ones
and the price of wire has nearly
doubled within the last year.
Well. how would these expenses
be met by the city? Either by in
creased prices for incandescent lights
for it is certain the council would
try to save to the city all it could
possibly do on arc lights, which are
practically all the lights that the city
pays for-or there would have to be
increased city taxation The city
would have the expense of the ex-
pertinent, the expense of purchasing
the plant, the expense of replacing
the wires, the expense of a new en-.
CINE, the interest expense-all for
the satisfaction of owning and oper-
ating Its own electric plant.
1t appears to the Independent that
ut such time and under such cOndi-
tons the city should not embark in
business enterprise, whatever may
be the general conviction as to the
advisability of municipal ownership
when conditions are favorable. Of
course, we agree that the city ought
to own the plant, if it could be
bought reasonably and without the
necessity of adding too many i'm
provements-and without the ne
cessity of bonding the city to do so.
1t is very often better plan to
pay rent than to think you own
property, when in reality the mort
gagee is the owner.
Our business men, who have been
given the assurance that "cheap
lights" will come with city owner
ship, should take up this matter and
reason it out for themselves. The
independent is satisfied that the price
of incandescent lights could not be
lowered, if the city owned the plant,
considering the expensive obstacles
in the way at this time. On the
contrary, it believes that the city
would find it necessary to raise the
prices over what they are at present.
