Washington, April 12.-Easter Monday
or "Egg-rolling Day." as the children
know it's observed in Washington as
nowhere else in the country. if indeed In
the whole wide world. In other places,
the small folk find eggs of gorgeous hues
in rabbits nests, and their elders ransack
receipt books for various ways of prepar-

Even the President of the United States
is drawn into the unique celebration, be-
cause he must pertorce, give up his
grounds to It, and between the music
of bands and the noisy crowds beneath
his windows, there is little business trans
acted in the White House that day, be-
yond watching the goings on outside.
Thanksgiving and Decorations days, and
other national holidays, are all very wen
in their way, but as nothing compared
with Easter Monday which, in the minds
Of the children stands side by side with
Christmas.
1t happened that the United States
Marine Band. which has hitherto furnish

the military band OF Fort Myer was also
abseht; and so the famous Fourth Artil-
lery band was ordered up from Fortress
Monroe, away down on Chesapeake Bay
And very beautiful indeed was the music
rendered all day by that fine organiza-
ton. Everybody was out for fun and had
things all their own way, while the good
natured policemen carefully looked In an

Supreme Court Catching Up.

The supreme court has advanced
from twenty three months behind the
submissions on its docket las it was
when the new law relating to it's juris-
diction took effect in March, to little
more than a year behind. 1t is ex-
pected that the court will catch up with
its work by the beginning of the sum-
mer vacation.
The rapid gain has been largely due
TO the transfer of cases to the appellate
court, which has been thrown more
than eighteen months behind the sub
missions in that court. The law pro-
vides that if the supreme court runs
out of work, it may call up cases from
the appellate court and can decide
them the same as if they had originally
been filed in the supreme court.

Put them to- Flight.

Editor Prickett, of the Milford Mail
is responsible for the following:
A few days ago it is said that an old
German farmer living near Milford,
having some other business in SYRIA
cuse concluded to sell his butter at
that place. He went into a store there
carrying q box in which the butter
was packed. A dozen losfers were
sitting about swapping fish lies, while
the proprietor and clerks were behind
the counter to wait on the new Gus
toner. The old German said: al Iif
at Milford. l haf a schmsll pox"-
but before he could say more the loaf
ers made a rush for the front door; the
clerks lodged behind the counter, while
the proprietor grabbed the stove poker
and brandished it in the face of the
Milford customer. The latter, how
ever, continued With hat q schmall
pox of butter vich | want to sell YOU"
The merchant dropped the poker and
the clerks sneaked up from behind the
counter, just as if nothing in the world
had happened to discouncert them.

Troubles of Republican Editor.

u
1t had not been the intention of the
Independent to say a word relative to
the present trouble of the publisher of
the Republican and Evening News
who is resorting TO every conceivable
form of trickery to keep from being
kicked out of his Office by the South
Bend Savings bank. which holds mort
gage on his publication. The Inde-
pendent Is naturally disposed to be
charitable even for a contemporary
when in trouble. Parties representing
the mortgages of the Republican office
were here for several days last week
and, from reports being circulated, they
have all the preliminaries arranged to
GUST the present publisher. The Office
will then probably be put on the block
and sold to the highest bidder. The
independent had preferred and in
tended to omit this item of news from
it's columns, but the "four- flush" pub
Usher of the Republican evidently
wanted to know just how much we
could stand and keep still when he pub
lished the folio wing referring to the
independents:
"a long suffering public will soon be
relieved of the worst excuse of q news
paper ever published in q city like
Plymouth"
Had he referred the above quotation
to the News and Republican, which
was beseiged all last week by mort
gagees, the item would not have been a
misfit. 1t has been pretty thoroughly
demonstrated that republican paper
cannot thrive in Plymouth. Three diff
ferent publishers have tried it within
the past four years and all have had
their toes turned to the daisies.
The Marshall County Independent
and the Plymouth Daily Independent
goes right on making friends and In
creasing business just as though there
was no such thing as Republican
paper in existence.
The Independent will simply suggest
to the publisher of the Repu blican that
Honesty is the best policy" and that
he will find 1t best TO meet his creditors
as an honest man and take chances of
the ultimate results. The public never
sanctions any kind of trickery. The
Independent is really sorry to be CON-
PEELED to make mention of this matter.
1t has felt that the Republican editor
should be left to fight his business diff.
culties without any notice on it's part.
The continued lying and nagging which
his papers are doing ostensibly to in
jure the Independent, is the sole reason
for our taking notice of his troubles at
this time. We shall not 60 into details
relative to the Republican publisher
and his scheming (if it can be dignifed

There are about 60 tribes on the islands

Mr. Hess says the city of Manila is

that what the islands need is

He says they are rich in resources and
that the timber is very fine, especially
the ebony and mahogany. The soil is
