Post Check Currency.

Farmers need a safe, cheap and
convenient method of sending money
by mail. The money order system is
safe enough, but 1t Is neither cheap
convenient. The ''poSt currency
combines all three essentials. With
the post check any n anywhere in
the United States can send any sum
from 10 cents up, without the trouble
of getting and filling out a money
order, registering a letter, etc., and
at about half the expense. This the
country needs and must have. Farm
ers can push this measure through at
the coming short session if they will
take hold in earnest. Write personal
letters to your congressman and SEN
ators. Send them petitions and
resolutions, and when the bill comes
up for consideration send them tele-
grams urging their support. Begin
at once to agitate this question in
social gatherings, farmers clubs, in
stitutes and the grange. Post your
selves and when anyone tells you the
plan is not practical, tell them that
you know better, that it is eminently
practical, and that you know what
farmers need in this way.-OhiO
Farmer,

Secretary of Commerce Needed.

1t is earnestly hoped that a secre-
tary of commerce may be created, with
a seal in the Cabinet. The rapid
multiplication of questions affecting
labor and capital, the growth and
complexity Of the organizations
through which both labor and capital
now find expression, the steady ten
dency toward the employment of cap
ital in huge corporations and the won-
derful strides of this country toward
leadership in the international bust
ness world Justify an urgent demand
for the creation of such a position.
Substantially all the leading CONNER
cial bodies in this country have unit
ed in requesting its creation. 1t is
desirable that some such measure as
that which has already passed the en-
ate be enacted into law. The creation
of such a department would in itself
be an advance toward dealing with
and exercising supervision over the
Whole subject of the great corpora
tionS doing an interstate business;
and with this end in view, the con-
gress should endow the department
with large powers, which could be in
creased as experience might show the
need .-President'S Message.

The territorial admission situation
grows more and more uncertain as
the day-December 1O-approache:
when the senate is to take the matter
up. The friends of New Mexico and
Arizona are getting alarmed, but no.
body can tell how the conditions
stand until the matter comes up in
the senate next week. The Oklaho.
mans, however, are hopeful. as they
ought to be. II there should be any
very powerful opposition to the ad-
mission of even Oklahoma, it is prob
able that the whole matter may GO
to the long session of the con
gress recently elected.

Silver and Gold.

The currency of the country, no
matter what its form, is now a gold
currency. Yet there is ground for ap-
prehension that in times of stress it
may be difficult to maintain this par
ity. With the silver dollar worth
only about 50 cents, it might be that.
with a panic on, silver would be dis
credited, and there would be a rush
for gold. Mr.. Shaw sees a danger
here and urges tlat congress provide
for the redemption of silver in gold at
the option of the holder. OF course,
as he says, the fact that the govern
ment freely receives silver in discharge
of debts due to it, is itself a form or
redemption and operates TO maintain
the parity between the two metals.
But with all doubt as to silver re-
moved, there would be less temptation
to hoard gold. and SO less demand on
the treasury for gold. The danger to
the treasury would be leSSened rather
than increased by the propose change.
All our money would be gold, or its
unchallenged equivalent. and, except
for purpose of export, silver would be
as available as gold. That is the case
now, to be sure, but with the present
doubt it may not always be the case.
With national bank notes made pay.
able in gold, no small part of the bur-
den Of providing gold both for domestic
use and for export might be shiftedto
the banks.-IndianapoliS News.

GROCERIES AND CROCKERY.
Their Commercial importance and Large
Sales.

In the elements of business inter
esCS the sale of groceries form the
largest in the domain of trade, exhib-
tied figures showing that more than
$3.50, 900, 900 are annually invested in
the same in the United States. AS
Stunning such an Importance with ref
erence to the wealth and general pros
perity Of the community it commends
itself to the attention of any work
bearing upon the resources of the city
where located.
The crockery trade has also become
one of the controlling commercial in
terests of the laud, and artistic de-
signs are embodied in fine tableware
of today that far surpasses any prece-
ding age. In connection with both
the above classes of goods the estab-
lishment of
L. J.. SOUTHWORTH,
is decidedly worthy of mention. This
grocery and crockery house, located
on the corner of Laporte and Center
streets, is a continuation of that found
ed by John Palmer in 1875, and after
passing through successive hands it
was purchased by L. J. Southworth,
the present proprietor, from Ed. S.

the president is entirely right in
saying that the tariff question should
be treated from the standpoint solely
of our business needs. All tariff leg
islation, whether original or amenda-
tory, ahOuld be entirely free from par
tisanship or promotion of class inter
estS, and should aim exclusively at
the promotion of the general welfare.
Parties may differ as to the best
means of doing this, but no party
should adopt or admit any lower mo-
tive.

then failed to do. Now. as then, he
believes that publicity is the best and

alton: and we need not be overtender

NEEDS OF THE o
Elimination Of Fads is a Change That
Would Be Welcomed.

Just at present, when the educa-
tional forces of the state are clamoring
for more normal schools higher grade
teachers and more money, thefIndian-
apolis Sentinel thinks it is we'll worth
while for the people of Indiana to give
some consideration to what the schools
really need. and that they are get
ting more fads than anything else.
In this state the idea has attained
a firm hold OF the popular mind of
leaving the settlement of questions to
experts" In school work that means
leaving it to educators, for they are
the only people considered experts"
in teaching. The fact which is ver
looked is that while they may be ex-
perts in knowing what what to teach.
They do not realize what is desirable
for a child to know from "a practical
standpoint. AS a general rule the
educator sees life only from the educa-
tor standpoint.
For this reason the average educat-'
or starts with the proposition that the
child's education should sfit him for
life. and he proceeds to pile into that
education a little of everything that
may be considered desirable for one to
know, regardless Of the fact that there
are a great many things which
an adult may know advantageously
that he need not learn while a child.
Education does not stop with schools,
and the chief object Of schools-com-
mon schools-should be to fit the
child for acquiring information after
he leaves school.
To do this it is necessary to teach
the rudiments thoroughly. If you
want TO make a workman you must
make him know his tools, and the
tools of education are words and fig.
ures. 1t is nonsense to talk about
anybody being educated who cannot
read, write spell, and cipher accurate
ly and intelligently. From lowest to
highest these things are essential, and
they are not being taught as they
should be taught in the common
schools. If a teacher can teach them
properly and effectively it doesn' It mat
ter much whether he knows how MANY
bones there are in the human body,
or how Iold Hannibal was when he
crossed the Alps. Let us have schools
kept on a common sense basis.

The Fat Stock Show.

c. T. MattingIy, of this city rep
resented the Tribune at the great fat
stock show in Chicago, and there were
scores of other Plymouth people in
attendance.
All bring back the same report.
that it vas a fine display of fat stock
of every kind and the finest exhibit Of
horses and cattle they ever saw.
The Tribune pass came through
Plummer, Ball s. Co.. live stock CON-
mission merchants, represented in
Plymouth by F. E. earn, and our rep
resentative was shown every courtesy
possible by this firm the members of
whom were former residents Of Kosci-
uSko county.
c. E. Long, of this city, who rep
resents Rappel Bros. & Co., roomed
with Mr.. Mattingly and knew that
he was one Of the leading stock raisers
of Indiana, consequently Rappel &
Co., we're ready to assist him In Seeing
everything Of interest, and the Trib-
une is pleased as much as Mr.. Matt
ingly.
We have not the room today for
any extended write up of the great
exhibition which was attended by
hundreds Of thousands Of interested
men and women.
We must mention one thing which
we think will seem strange to many
people.
The ShOrt-hOrn steer which took
first premium was a beautiful roam;
the steer which took second premium
was red, while the animal that took
third premium was pure white. All
Of these animals were pureShort-horns,
yet we have talked to many men who
think that a pure Short-horn ought to
be red.
Every strain Of pure blood cattle
was represented at this show Of fine
stock, and the display of horses was
fully up to that Of cattle.
The hogs and sheep were among
the best in America and the whole
exhibition was wonderful in showing
what can be done with stock by care
and systematic feeding and breeding.

Indiana's intelligent Farmers.

l was impressed with one thing
while campaigning in Indiana this
fall, said Robert y. T-acewell, comp
troller of the currency, and that was
the intelligence of the farmers. What
is true of Indiana is true, l have no
doubt, Of most of the states. They
are the people in this country who are
really well posted on public questions.
The people of the cities and towns are
not to be compared with them. The
farmer of today reads, and he reflects.
He knows what is going on in the world
and he does not depend upon anyone
to draw conclusions for him.-Wash-
ingtOn Cor. indianapolis News.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1902-12-11

The republican party in three dis
tricts in Indiana polled more votes for
representatives in congress than did
the three states of Louisiana, Mississ-
ippi and South Carolina. In this dis
trict the aggregate vote for repre-
sentative to congress was as large as
the entire vote of the states of Louis
lana and Mississippi, which have four
teen members in the present house.
Mississippi electing seven representa-
tives by an aggregate vote of 1908,
or 2, 1888 for each representative. The
three states named, cast 1888 votes,
and elected twenty members Of the
house, while Indiana, casting 500, 1856
votes, elected but thirteen.

In his report filed with the COVER.
nor, w. L. Taylor, attorney general,
recommends the enactment of a col.
lateral inheritance tax on all estates
above $40, 600. He says: Certainly
the state, which has given constant
protection to the decedent and has
guarded the rights of property in all
the years during the accumulation of
estate, ought in a small way to be
repaid for such care and protection,
when otherwise all OF decedent's es-
estate may go not only to strangers
from the state, bat strangers in blood
or alien citizenship"

At a church revival at Kokomo
Joseph Young, who until recently
conducted a saloon at Galveston, de-
clared himself converted and also
threw light on the killing Of three
men bv a train near Galveston last
winter. One of the victims was
YOung's brother. Shortly before the
accident the three men were drinking
in Young's saloon and were intoxicated
when the engine struck their buggy.
The tragedy prayed on Young's mind
until he closed the saloon and joined
the church. He has quit the saloon
business forever, he says.

When you get a circular from some
wildcat mining or oil company that
assures you of at least 25 per cent pro-
fit on your investment, just make up
your mind that the fellows who send
out these circulars are scamps of the
first water. If these concerns yielded
any such profits there would be no
need of soliciting purchasers OF their
stocks.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Tribune writes that there
is a strong sentiment in congress in
favor of repeating the duties on coal
and meats. This sentiment grows
out of the resentment against the
packers, who raised the price Of beef,
and the railroad coal presidents,
whose refusal to arbitrate the differ
ences with the miners caused a coal
famine.
