Horse Thief eau Qht.

Samuel Bauer, who stole livery rig
aud team from William Bondurant at
Bremen few weeks ago and was re-
leased because it was not entirely clear
that he did not intend to return it, is
now In jail at Peru with excellent
prospects for going to the peniten-
tiary.
On Saturday evening, June 2l,
Bauer stopped at the home Of Levi ].
Schrock, twelve miles south of Peru,
and remained over Sunday. He had
a horse and buggy and was selling
medicine. He admired Mr.. Schrock S
horses and learned that one very fine
mare was an excellent traveller.
On Wednesday, June "a. he left his
horse and buggy with farmer about
four miles from where Mr.. Shrock
lives, stating that he wished to 60 to
his home at Elkhart and would re-
turn in a few days.
That night Mr.. Shrock's mare was
stolen and buggy and harness were
stolen from a neighbor. Bauer drove
up into Fulton county and from there
to Marshall county and traded the
horse to Frank Johnson, near Tee
garden, for a pony, getting $50 differ
ence. He sold the buggy for a trifle,
returned to Miami county and got his
medicine outfit. Mr.. Shrock suspect
ed him, succeeded in catching him,
got him in jail, got a confession from
him, came here Friday and got his
mare returning home today.

Good Advice From CoIored Men.

The Indianapolis World, paper
owned and edited by colored men,
critIcises very severely end very sensi-
bly, the incendiary advice of the ne
gro preacher at Chicago who said: If
this lynching and burning is. not
stopped by the constituted authorities
then l say to every black man, Ego
sell your coat and buy gun to defend
YOURSELF On this the World COM
ments: Lawlessness begets lawless-
ness. just as surely as friendliness be-
gets friendiiness. ~ \ The advice
of the Rev. Mr.. Thomas should not be
taken seriously. Whatever our per-
sonal feeling in these matters may be,
they should not be adopted as racial
policy.
The World further points out the
hopelessness of such a policy if adopt
ed; showing that if the races came to
war the overwhelming majority of the
whites and their vast resources could
lead to only one result-the extermi-
nation of the blacks. Verify it is a
time not for the rousing, but the
calming, of race prejudices. The two
races must go on living rogether.
The friction is produced largely by
the few that misbehave. Men that
are honest, quiet, peaceable, indus
trious, whatever their race, seldom
have trouble.

oil at Gil at less than one cent a gal

A LITTLE HORSE SENSE.

The older readers of the Plymouth
Republican will recollect that when
the civil service idea was in its in
fancy. the editor of the Republican
said there was real danger of its build
ing up an Office holding aristocracy.
which would result in lneffiiciency in
the service, increased expenses and
soft snaps for the friends of the fav-
ored few who had been long in Office.
We argued then as we do now that
real civil service reform should be a
fixed tenure OK office, which would not
allow any one to hold position over
six years. This would infuse
new blood by the selection Of honest
competent business men who would
keep the departments out of rpts and
prevent such scandals as we now read
about.
The civil service men are now busy
declaring that the scandals recently
unearthed by Investigations in the
Postoffice Department are the result
of the spoiIs system.
On this subject the Mlddletown
News expresses our views when it
says: "We prefer to believe that they
are rather the outgrowth of the civil
service policy that has prevailed in
the department, in fact the two chief
conspirators are shown TO be civil SER
vice employees of years standing. and
the officials who have brought the
scandals to light are without the
classified service. Appointments are
made after a sort of examination,
which tests the capabilities Of the ap-
plicant to do the work. but makes no
test of his integrity or business Sa-
gacity. Doing good service in SUBJ
ordinate position. where there is no
temptation, the officer is promoted to
a position of great responsibility; with
this increased responsibility comes
temptation, and IL the officer is not
one Of the strictest integrity he fails.
Besides, he is likely to conclude that,
protected by law, his place is secure
and because OF this fact, there is all
the greater temptation to him to en-
gage in irregularities and specula-
tions. Any system of appointing men
to responsible positions, which does
not in some way test or disclose the
character of the candidate, his integ-
rity and business ability, is at fault.
The so-called civil reform policy does
no do this. Capability TO do certain
work and integrity to resist tempta-
tions are two vastly different quail
ticationS. A system which would
leave the appointments to men who
would select honest people, rattle:
than those who, upon sort Of school
teacher examination, could show their
capability, is much TO be preferred.
This would not necessarily mean a re-
turn to the old discredited spoils sys-
tenn. Even if it did. it would be none
the worse. A system which builds up
a sort of office-holding aristocracy is
wrong in principle and should be dis
continued.

starch is dumped into the hopper Of the
starch buck, which thrashes out the cream
centers or other candy clean and ellis the
starch into other trays. The cooking is
done In copper steam kettles holding 400
pounds or more and bonbon cream is beaten
into Wilderness after cooking. Nuts ana
other centers are coated by being rolled
about in a revolving kettle like a bushel
basket into which the coating syrup Is
poured. Every factory must have a drying
house where certain candles are. kept at

harden them; a cool room In which to dip
chocolates in hot weather, a chrystallzing
room where all candles which are to have
a hard sparkling exterior are coated by
standing in a saturated solution Of sugar;
a taffy puller to pull 100 pounds at one
time, and cutters to cut sheets Of carmel
into squares; machines to pop corn for the
twelve kinds Of popcorn candy, and to
grind up nuts. The nodded centers for
