AN INFAMOUS TRIAL.

In the second trial of Caleb Powers
for the murder of William Goebel the
state has completed its side of the
case and rested. Every item of evil
dence presented by the prosecution
falls within one of these three classes:
O hearsay; (2) circumstantial, of a
remote character; (3) testimony of
witnesses against whom at least rea-
sonably credible charges of perjury
rest. This trial has not been one
whit more fair than the former,
though possibly no worse. Briefly re-
called, the following facts appear be-
yond dispute.
Powers was forced into this trial
with unnecessary and unusual haste,
though but six out of more than two
hundred of his witnesses had been
heard from. Judge Cantrill denied a
motion for change of venue in spite
of the widespread and notorious
charges of unfairneSs i'm the former
trial, though any right-minded Judge
would have welcomed the opportunity
to secure release from most unpleaS-
ant duty or would have assigned the
case to another Judge without a
request. The jury as finally made up
was composed of twelve GOebel demo-
Gratis, and that in a county almost
equally divided between the two
parties and i'm which the democrats
are equally divided between the two
factions. Notwithstanding the very
palpable proof that the jury was
packed, Judge Cantrill overruled a
challenge and ordered the witnesses to
be sworn. The judges rulings in the
trial have been uniformly against
Powers and every intendment has
been taken against him, while no
courtesy has been accorded him or his
counsel. Cantrill is a candidate for
the United States senate and the only
ground of his claim for that honorable
Office is that he has earned it bv his
dishOnOrable conduct i'm these trials.
The feeling against him is so intense
among the people that he is fearful of
losing his life and dares not trust his
own partiSans, but has all onlookers
in his court searched for weapons.
His only way to secure the favor and
the votes of the Goebelites who con-
troll the legislature is to stand by them
and the position they have taken
against Powers and other accused re-
publicans so he is compelled to be
biased.
With these facts and conditions
plainly in view Governor Durbin
would be violating the most common
impulses of humanity were he to send
Taylor into that sinkhole of injustice
to be tried for his life by a partisan
judge, a packed jury and perjured wit
nesses for political ends. No law
requires such sacrifice.

A clear-headed Christian writer
draws the following picture of selfish
ness: ''Selfishness is the most utter
restitution of a human being. 1t can
bring nothing to his relief: it adds
soreness to his sorrows: it sharpens his
pains: it aggravates all the losses he is
liable to endure; and when goaded to
extremes, it often turns destroyer and
strikes its last blows ON himself. -
The selfish man is always his own
worst enemy. He is sure to cheat
himself when intending to serve him.

Mr.. Fiske Warren, the American
who was required to take the oath of
allegiance few days ago at Manila,
where he arrived after associating
with the Filipino junta at Hong Kong,
proves to be member of the Boston
aristocracy who has been closely iden-
titled with the anti-Imperialist move
ment and until recently member of
its executive committee. The oath
of allegiance is good medicine for men
of his kind.

There are six thousand thrifty, law
abiding energetic people permanently
located within easy driving distance
of Plymouth but who do the bulk of
their trading elsewhere. 1t will cost
no more to get their regular trade
than to locate half dozen factories
here employing fifty men in each.
The factories might burn, fail or move
away, as other Plymouth factories
have done; the farmers will steadily
increase in numbers and in wealth.
Factories are all right and we want
all we can get Of them, but the farm
ers are infinitely better. Business
men, take your choice.

sought it will almost always be found
to be womanly disease. The throbbing
head, the aching back, and the dragging
down feeling are but symptoms of a
disordered and diseased condition of the
delicate womanly organism. When this
fact is understood the one thing for the
weak and sick woman to do is to look
for a cure of the disease which causes
her misery.

INDIANA SUPREME:
STAGE AND BOOKSHOP.
Indianapolis News.

Indiana is much i'm evidence on the
stage just at present as the fruit of
her literary excellence. With Mr..
Mansfield's production of Booth Tark-
ington's 'Beaucaire" in Philadelphia,
it is pertinent to note that at the
same time Lew Wallace's s'Ben Hur"
is still playing to full houses. Julia
Marlowe in Charles Majors sWhen
KnighthoOd Was in Flower" is dupli-
eating her success of last season, while
Virginia Harmed is this week to ap-
pear in Maurice Thompson's "Alice
of Old VincenneS. Three of these
plays thus dramatized from books by
Indiana authors we know have won
popular approval. There is hardly a
doubt that the dramatization from
Maurice ThOmpSonS book will be
represented on the stage by s'big
four" indeed. There is great en-
enlargement in all this. No single
community is more prominent in the
literary work of the time than In
diana. So striking has been this
manifestation in recent years that it
has attracted universal attention, and
anything from Indiana now can get a
hearing and is awaited eagerly: in
advance is held to be worthy of con-
SideratiOn. 1t is an enviable reputa-
ton. While "Alice of OldVincennes"
may remind us that we have suffered
in the death of Maurice Thompson a
severe loss, every success is an en-
couragement- to all who may have
gifts to improve them to the utter
most. The brilliant example of Mr..
Harrington is particularly gratifying.
for it is in an incident i'm career that
promises goldenly.

CHILDISH COMFORT.
Never Mind, Mamma, Baby
Loves You"

But the childish voice is almost un-
needed. The wife and mother has come
to place where love cannot comfort
her, where even the voice and words of
love are so blent with her own misery
that they seem to increase it.
Imagine magnificent orchestra play
ing in a factory amid the ring of ham,
mers and the rattle and grooming of ma
chinery. The discords would dominate
the harmony and the harmony itself
merge into discords. That is the way it
is with all the music of love when
woman is wrenched and racked by pain.
1t seems to become part of the very dis
cord of her life.
