Addresses prepared for editorial as
sociatioDs are generally special pleas,
and seldom have much interest to
those outside the profession. How
ever, of the topics discussed by the
Northern Indiana Editorial Associa
tion at Kendallville two were of no.
table interest and value to the public
generally. The first was 1.-The Pas
sing of the Party Organ" by Hon.
Ed A. Jernegan of the Mishawaka
Enterprise. 1t dealt with the ques-
tion of the newspaper as party or
gan IN the days that are past, recall
ling the subservience of the paper to
the behest of the party and its bosses,
and noting the change Of temper and
policy Of the past few years. He
traced the reasons why the newspaper
as public institution had passed from
party domination to be the mouth
piece of public opinion and the ex-
preston of public sentiment. His
words were truthful, and his charac-
terization of the improvement wrought
in newspapers and the consequent re-
suit upon the party and the public
was significant and suggestive. The
second address to which we refer was
that Of Hon. John B. StOll Of the
South Bend Times. entitled "Imma-
ture Thou hts the Bane of Our
Times" which was characterized by
Senator Beverldge as mot only wis
dom, but as true craftsmanship. "
Mr.. StOll declared in the outset that
many of the evils of the present were
the direct result of the immature
thought and its unwise expression in
the press. He plead with the news
paper men to give to the topics which
they discuss careful add considerable
examination and wise and diScrimina-
ting thought, aud to avoid the ten
dency, which marked a great deal Of
the newspaper work in great cities, to
rush into PRINT in criticism or in
laudatioD of incident, policy and
movement. His words we're wise and
patriotic. and should be made the
guiding star of the conscientious con-
ductor of the newspaper. These two
addresses we're more specifically gen.
eral in their application than any OF
the others, and are referred to because
of more general value and interest,"

Crowding the Young Mind.

at a recent meeting Of the homeO-
pathist physicians at indianapolis re-
Gently paper was read on mental and
nervous diseases, in which the author.
DR.. H. n. COons, of Lebanon, touched
upon the danger that was being in
flicted in schools by reason of the
mental strain to both teacher and
pupil over the examining process, or
the growing tendency to put more
studies upon the pupil than he could
conveniently stand. or the teacher
manage.
The paper called forth a lively dis
cussion in which nearly all the physi-
clans present deprecated the prevail
ing custom in the common schools as
well as in the colleges to overtax the
mind with too many studies. 1t was
universally acknowledged that most
of the nervous complaints Of today
originated in this very way. That
teachers broke down with worry and
scholars collapsed IN the effort to keep
up with their classes.
The discussion eliminated in the
appointment OF a committee to inves-
tigate this matter IN thoroughly

ANNUAL JUNE MEETING
Crowds at Church Confluence Breaks All
Previous Records.

The annual June meeting OF the
Church of God at Antioch was held
Saturday and Sunday. The meeting
has been an annual affair as far back
as many people can remember and
each year notes growing interest in
this conference. The meeting always
lasts from two to three days during
which time the best orators of the de-
nomination are listened to by packed
houses. The beautiful groves sur
rounding Antioch church are filled
with ideal spots for the good old-fash-
Toned basket dinner, which is as much
a part Of the meeting as any other
feature.
Meyer before in years has the meet
ing been SO well attended as 1t was
Sunday. The weather was perfect
and it is conservatively estimated that
between $500 and 1000 persons at
tended the meeting.
The meeting was presided over by
A. II. Zilmer, president of the Indiana
Conference of the Churches Of God.
The meeting began on Saturday at
10 o'clock q. 10.
Elders j. S. Hatch, of Scircleville;
Vince, OF Pierceton, and W. 81. Will
son, of Chicago were the principal
speakers. All of these men preached
powerful sermons.
The Sunday morning sermon by
Rev. A. 81. thinner on the design OF
the gospel was one Of Mr.. Zilmer 3
best efforts.
The closing service was conducted
by Elder ]. f. Wagner, Of Rochester.
Subject, 1.-THE Second Coming OF
Christi Christ is coming again. This
was shown by 80 statements from

1t is a wonder that some astute
negro in the south does not. turn on
those who claim that only years OF
education and mental enlightenment
will ever work the full emancipation
of the negro, and point with scorn to
the records OF the white man in poll
tics and public life. 1t is surprising
that some shrewd, politically ambi-
tious negro does not point to St.
Louis and Philadelphia and New
York, and enforce the folly of the ar
gumeuG by showing that the higher
the claim to education the more pub
lie morals are violated, the more pub
lie trust is abused. the ore public
funds are misappropriated. The
lessons which this shrewd negro
night enforce to the discontinue of
his white critics might we'll be that
education alone does not lit men for
the duties of citizenship, but that it
must be supplemented by develop
ment of all the attributes of human
ity-conScience, skill, wisdom and
recognition of all the rights that lie
inherent in mans relation to man.
He might will tell his white brother
that education little more than the
ballot, unless balanced by other quail
tiles, will not lift the negro into the
place that all citizens of this republic
should occupy.-Elkhart Review.

1t is not surprising to hear that
there is considerable feeling among
the intelligent classes in Servia IN
favor of the abolition of the mon
archy and the creation of a republic.
The ioea Of government by the people
is spreading more rapidly than appears
on the surface. All the changes in
form Of governments in recent times
have been from monarchies to repub.

Cuba, Hawaii and France. There will
be some more changes of this kind,
but there will never be another mon.

establishment OF a republic in Servia

Mark Hanna's Ancestors.

The old residents of Lisbon, Ohio,
remember Mark Hanna as leader in
the contests that took place 10 his
youthful days, and perhaps he might
tell US that the tanning was of value
to him in more recent struggles. He
was brawny and bold, they say, and a
very stubborn boy. In biographies
they call it tenacious of purpose, de-
termined to have his way. a habit he
has never corrected. The Hannas were
conspicuous and influential in the af-
fairs of Columbian County. The local
historian tells us that they were de-
scended from Patrick Hannay-which
ought to give the senator claim on
the Irish vote-and in 1764 Thomas
Hanna sailed from England with Ben
jamin Franklin. enticed by that phil

1901, with his wife and nine children,

you should stir him up.
We grind lead and zinc in linseed

That's our business. We live on the

Painters mix their paint by hand
