CONCERNING CROAKERs.

Nothing worth while can be accom-
plished in this world without coop
Grafton and a spirit of helpfulness.
This is, of course, the merest truism,
yet, as is so often the case with tru.
isms, we frequently act as though we
did not believe it to be true at all.
We frequently hear men say that they
wish that the country would do such
and such a thing, regret the fact that
the church is not more useful and eff.
fective, wonder why their club cannot
be made more attractive, and quarrel
with society because of its frivolity,
and, not only do they do nothing to
help along the causes which they have
at heart, but they openly avow their
belief that nothing can be done, and
discourage and sheer at every effort tc
help things along. In the slang Of
the day these men are called knock
ers. y And there are many Of them,

LABOR BLUE BOOK.

The first labor Blue Book, relating
to the last session of the Indiana Gen.
eral Assembly, prepared by commit
tee of the State Federation of Labor,
has lust made appearance, in which
it reviews the action taken on many
of the labor bills before the legislat-
ure and makes charges against certain
senators ard committees as not favor
ing labog legislation. The book
enters specially into the discussion Of
the relief bill, the Merchants asS0cia-
ton garnishee bill, the 20 cent per
hour unskilled labor bill and the bill
relating to the sale of stocks of mer-
chandise. Upon all these Senator
Parks voted right During the con-
sideration of the bill effecting the
employees of the Pennsylvania rail-
road company, known as the ''relief
bill,'' Mr.. Parks informs us that he
received a petition signed by more
than sixty conductors of the Pennsyl-
vania line besides letters from en-
ployees asking that they be relieved
from the effects Of the bill, and that
he favored by hisvote the amendment
to the bill providing that the act
should not apply to voluntary relief
associations, and that the amendment
carried largely through his instru-
mentality.
The Merchants association garnish-
ee bill took away the right of the lab
oring man to his six hundred dollars
exemption, and was voted against and
opposed by our senator, as was the
bill for twenty cents per hour for un-
skilled labor. the latter being purely
class legislation and unconstitutional
and taking from towns and cities the
right OF contract.

day in commenting upon the book says

some of its bills rushed through the

A MAMMOTH CONCERN
Extent of the Heinz Co. Picking and
Preserving Business.

In 1869 the present business of HI.
J. Heinz Co., was founded i'm Sharps-
burg, little suburb of Pittsburg
Pa, on three-quarters of an acre
s)wn with horse-radish. The founder
OF the company was its entire force OF
cultiyators, and two young girls were
its manufacturing staff-grating the
horse-radish for market. A common
wheelbarrow was the only vehicle
used by the company for marketing
its products, and the entire manufac-
turing was done in small two story
brick building.
At the present day the expanded
company is planting Is, 900 acres with
its own seeds and gathering the fruits
of many Thousand acres more. It's
main plant at Pittsburg, Pa, oc-
cupies II large buildings, and it has
IS Saltlng stations ana 20 Drancn ware
houses and offices, and employs stead
lily over $500 workers. It's original
wheelbarrow has expanded into huge
drays and speedy automobiles and a
host of Heinz refrigerator and tank
cars running throughout the United
States.
This is remarkable illustration of
what pluck and energy can accomplish
under intelligent direction. The salt
ing plant at Plymouth, important as
it is locally, is a very small part OF
the entire establishment of this great
concern, whose main factory at Pitts
burg occupies the whole Of ten city

GETTING RICH QUICK.

1t is just as well, perhaps, for the
young men of this country that the
corn kings, no matter how honorable
and amiable they may be, should not
round out brief spectacular careers
with large wealth as the result of the
activities of few booming months of
speculation. The old fashioned
virtues of thrift, economy and pains
taking endeavor furnish the best
basis of wealth, after all, for the
gambling chances of the corn pit, by
which some men win largely, lead to
many losses by others that they may
make their gains. When ex-Corn
King Phillips gets into difficulties by
doing a huge business in an unbusi-
neSslike way after his big winnings by
speculation have been widely advertis-
ed, it assists the young men of the
country who have the get-rich-quick
fever TO calm their throbbing pulses
and accept slow and sure business
methods as good enough in view OF all
the circumstances. They should
notice that Mr.. Phillips in reorganiz-
ing his business dweIls especially on
his intention of adopting the safe
methods of conservatism Chicago

share of these unhappy and entirely
useless creatures. One man who has
been known as political reformer all
his life declared the other day, with a
sheer, that he had gone out of the
reform business and from now on
he will probably be a more efficient
enemy of genuine reform than the
most besotted partisan. The spirit
of the ''knocker" prevails widely in
the churches. People do not hesitate
to criticise the minister, the choir,
the Sunday-school, and the general
administration of the church, both on
its secular and religious side, yet they
refuse to help in any way. But their
criticism and ridicule continue una
bated. OF them it may be said as of
the people of old time: "FOr they bind
heavy burdens and grievous to be
borne, and lay them on mems should
ers; but they themselves will not move
them with one of their fingers" Let
some new movement, of which they
have formerly approved in the abstract,
be started, and they will predict fail
ure and disaster from the very start
thus contributing TO the fulfillment of
their own predictions. This silly and
censorious spirit has often been shown
here, and it is fatal TO progress. The
good citizens, the helpful, progressive
people, are those who at least show a
sympathetic interest in every good
cause, who openly wish it success, and
who do everything they can to hold up
the hands of those who are working,
it may be with pain and agony, in its
behalf. The thing to do, therefore,
is to believe in the truiSm-and to act
on the beiief-that nothing worth
while can be accomplished in this world
without cooperation and spirit of
mutual helpfulness. !"

assembly grounds at Culver, going
there i'm $50 or more decorated wagons
and buggies with flags and banners.
The long line of wagons, with Jacob
Myers on horseback as marshal of the
day with red sash and prancing steed,
was a pleasant reminder of some of
the political rallies in this county
twenty-five years ago. The number
attending this gathering is estimated
by conservative persons at twelve
hundred, consisting of almost every
church denomination. When on the

old fashioned basket picnic, where all
seemed social and happy.

The opening song, ''This is the Army

Editor PoweII's Prediction.

II the Republican were to venture
on prediction at this early stage of
the contest for 1904, it would give
out as its solemn opinion that vice.
President Roosevelt will be the re-
publican candidate for president and
an Indiana man for president.
Also it would say that Mayor Taggart,
of indianapolis, win be the Dem
ocratic candidate for president and a
New York man for his running mate.

near we have come to it.-Lapcrte

G. 6 |. TRACTION co.
Another Interurban Railway Project
That Places Plymouth on its
Map and Schedule.

That Plymouth is on the line of
projected and almost certain railway
designs is again made sure by recent
developments in the plans of the
Goshen & Indiana Traction Co., a
chartered corporation now construct
ing line between Goshen andAngOla,
ON which work is under way. This
company has for its officers such men
as Sol A. Wood, of Angola, president,
who is prominent business man; F.
S. Roby, vice president, judge of the
appellate court; w. w. Hatch, gen.
eral manager, the railway and street
contractor now paving in Plymouth;
John F. Shuman, secretary, and NJ
E. Griswald, treasurer. These gentle
men are of the highest standing and
have sufficient financial backing for
their purpose.
The ambitious plan they have out
lined is to organize and construct a
system of electric railway from Toledo
to st. Louis, a distance o. over five
hundred miles. The first division,
between Toledo and Goshen, is now
under construction at both ends and
the Toledo entrance and terminal
have been secured. The company has
the right of way to Goshen and is
proceeding along approved conserva-
tive business lines in the formulation
and execution of their project.
From Goshen toward the southwest
the line lies through Wakarusa.
Nappanee, Bremen, Plymouth, Knox
and Rensselaer, in Indiana, and Kan
kakee, Bloomington, Springfield,
Decatur and Alton in Illinois, thus
penetrating several rich fields that
are without communication in the
direction to be taken by this line and
are therefore inviting tocapital. Mr..
Hatch, who has the construction work
in charge, is an experienced railroad
contractor. He first came to Indiana
as an expert in such work to build a
street railwaj line in Goshen and
subsequently built the line from CO.
shen to Elkhart, as well as other
electric railways. He is familiar with
every part of the projected route
through Indiana and aportion of it in
Illinois.
A line reaching northeast and south
west from Plymouth has for nearly
thirty years been regarded as highly
desirable, and several such lines have
been put on paper and even staked
out, but it is still dream of the fut-
ure. If the Goshen & Indiana Trac-
ton Co., succeeds in making that
dream reality it will have the best
wishes of the people of Plymouth and
Marshall county.

WILL BEL HEARD
Persons Charged With Owning Untax.
ed Property in the City May Pres
ent Excuses if They Wish.

City Attorney Hess, after careful
investigation of the law, has conclud-
ed that the city may not have a right
to place on the city treasurer dupli-
cate property omitted from taxation
as shown by the county assessor s books
without first giving the owners of such
property an opportunity to be heard.
The list of such omitted property
shown by the report of the clerk to the
common council at the last meeting
and which the council directed Urea
surer Wilson to place on the city du-
plicate for collection of the taxes
shows s152, $50, some of the omis-
Sions running back ten years.
Judge Hess has directed that notices
be sent to the persons so listed and
that hearing be had, for the purpose
of correcting any mistakes that may
have been made i'm the list, and this
will accordingly be done. An inspec-
tion of the books at the court house
shows the following as the principal
property owners returned by the coun-
ty assessor as holding omitted and I'M
taxed property in the city of Ply
mouth to the amount of $1,000 or
over: Deering Harvester company:

SENSATION IN POTATOES
The Usually Quiet Vegetable Attracting
Great Attention.

Potatoes took sensational Jump of
25 to 80 cents bushel, Tuesday in
Chicago. There was almost potato
famine, and the price that started in
the morning at 81. 25 advanced to ST.. 80
before noon.
A wholesale price of 2 cents per
pound in the height of the growing
season is almost unprecedented, but
such is the case this year. The crop
is small in all sections, and the de-
mand is larger than usual despite the
high price. There were less than five
cars on the Chicago market Tuesday.
This was due to rains of Sunday and
early Monday, which kept farmers
from digging. The farmers who
brought single loads to Chicago that
day received the higeest price paid
in years, s1.75 sack of about eighty
pounds. Up in the Northwest, where
the greater part of TIC surplus supply
OF potatoes is raised, the crop is only
getting ready for market. In Cali.
fornia there is good crop, but unless
prices hold around present figures
there is little profit in shipping east
of the Rockies.

be able to avoid any possibility of con-
tagion.
DIR. Knapp is 40 years old and is a
graduate of Detroit medical college.
