Believing IN Witches.

As was stated in these columns at
the time the supreme court of this
state has decided that belief in the
existence and malign activity of
witches is by no means evidence of
insanity. In the opinion Of the court,
as Promulgated, the learned Judge
rendering the same declares that
Blackstone not only believed in
witches, but was a firm adherent to
the policy OF burning them. The same
was true of Sir Matthew Hale. In
deed, were he disposed to pursue
these "reminiscences, this jurist would
doubtless refresh our memories with
history proving that very large ma
jority of 'the founders of the repub-
lic"-thoSe worthy men whom we de-
light to glorify on July 4. and whom
we all regard as having been the
sanest and soundest of men-had no
doubts about witches. AS for the pio-
neers In our religious thought-the
men whose writings now form the
foundations and bulwark of nearly all
our theOlogies-their preaching and
practice in the matter of witchcraft
cannot be matter of question. To
make belief in witches insanity, there
fore, Is to unSeat our faith In all the
s.fatherS. south Bend Times.

Once more the conjectural fanciers--
they are not entitled to be called
prophets-are in state of activity, as
always happens when nature INDUCES
in phenomena outside OF the daily
routine. Some dark places. called sun
spots, slightly intercept the line of
vision between the earth and the orb
of day, and the guessers, not TO say
alarmists, are trying to tell what they
portend. Nobody has yet succeeded
in explaining what sun spots are or
precisely where they are located. They
keep company with the revolution of
the sun, but may be distant clouds
for all that.
One student of the heavens, whose
claim to special knowledge OF the
celestial machinery is based on the
fact his eyes are peculiarly bad,
asserts that sun spots are merely at
mospheric and formed long way from
the solar sphere.
A fact we'll ascertained is that nag
netic storms and auroral displays may
be expected during time of big sun
spots. An occurrence OF that kind
was noted in the north the other day,
much to the friSky excitement of
telegraph instruments, which insisted
on doing their work, and more, too,
without the aid of batteries.
One of the comforting persons who
can deduce the final catastrophe from
any unusual occurrence remarks of the

from Marion and invested all he bad

to retain majority of stock in the

the company, it is reported, and John

The session of congress which be
gins this week was called for the pur'
pose Of expediting the adoption of the
reciprocity treaty with Cuba. Before
the call was issued efforts were made
to prevent it on the ground that il
was unnecessary, and it is DOW the
subject of criticism for the same rea
son. But if an absolute necessity does
not exist there is certainly no lack OF
arguments to prove that the course
pursued by the President was a de.
Sirable one.

PASSING OF THE PIONEERS.

BY the death of Hiram Hervey
who departed his life at his home in
Blissfeld. Michigan. Saturday morn
ing. November I, 1908, aged 81 years,
Z months and days. this paper loses
its Oldest subscriber.
Hiram Hervey became subscriber
to the Plymouth Banner soon after it
was purchased by Richard Corbaley in
1852 and during all the Time since
then under all the changes OF name
and proprietors be had been constant
subscriber, always paying in cash and
always paying in advance.
Richard Corbaley, the editor of the
paper when Mr.. Hervey subscribed,
was the first white child born in H.
dianapolis and be died at his home on
the Pacific coast only-a few months
ago.
Marshall county still has wealth OF
Old people who have reached their
four score years and more and for the
most part they are pioneers who came
10 the county when the country was a
wilderness and have seen it grow into
a paradise il comparison.
Elderly people are a product OF
two conditions. They are not found
in great numbers in new country
and they are not found 10 an unhealth-
ful country. That Marshall county
has healtbful climate is proven by
the great age at which so many of her
citizens die.
However, it is onlv-a question of a
short time until the men and women
whose recoll, ctions date back to the
historic days will be no more. One
by one they are passing away and are
consigned To the soil upon which they
trod for so long a time.
Marshall county honors her pioneers.
They are her pride. They carried
civilization iato the wilds and pushed
lhe frontier westward. They built
houses, churches and schools in the
woods, and traversed with the pillow
what was before the hunting ground
vi the red men. They made an en-
pire cut oi barbarian territory and
converted undeveloped resources into
wealth.
Many of them have lived to see the
result of their labor, their hardships
and their sacrifices, and these results
have far exceeded their widest
dreams. But now they are passing
away and the present generation,
which is enjoying the fruits of their
efforts, should not fail to revere their
memories.
Hiram Hervey was one Of our piO-
neers. Born IN New York be came to
Marshall county when young man.
He was honest as the day and believed
everybody else should be honest and
straight forward. He had no patience
with shams, hypocrisy or deceit of any
kind.
lie was outspoken and blunt in all
his dealings with everybody and being
a man Of positive opinions was not al
ways popular. but he was always hon.
est.
He Vas q justice Of the peace for
many years and was an elder of the
Plymouth Presbyterian church longer.
We believe than any other man. AS a
friend he was true as steel and as an
enemy of what be believed to be
wrong be was utterly uncompromis-
ing. Peace to his ashes.

A Visitor.

Traffic Manager H. G. Bush of the
Midland railway. was an arrival in
the CITY at noon today. Mr.. Bush
was met at the depot by President
David Roberts. and Secretary Q. W.
Steele of the Grand Junction Chambe
of Commerce and was driven at once
to President Roberts home. where he
dined. The visit of Mr. Bush to this
city is a matter of considerable signi-
fcance to the citiz ans of Mesa county.
He comes here primarily to investi-
gate what work has been done look
ing to the building of the High Line
canal by the government. He desires
to be presented with all the data pos
sible upon the matter and promises
that his road will supplement any
thing that the citizens of Mesa county
will do, to secure the building of this
great waterway for irrigation.
In conversation with Sentinel
man Mr.. Bush said in part
'I do not come here to inaugurate
any movement for the building of the
canal. as that is in the hands of the
government. But what interest our
road. the Midland. is taking in it, is
the same interest we take in any pro-
ject which is being built along the
line of our system and which will
be contributive to the we'll being of
the people along the line of our road
and incidentally to the business and
prosperity of the road of which l am
an officer. In fact what we do is to
be supplemental to whatever is done
by the citizens of Grand Junction
and Mesa county. We desire to see
that great canal built and sometimes
it is possible by concerted action to
bring such matters more quickly to
a focus. when active work is done in
their behalf. than when 1t is left en-
tirely to the final Judgment of those
who have authority to choose what
schemes shall be undertaken for the
government. -
This afternoon Mr.. Bush met with
the directors of the Chamber of Com
merce in the Ramey offices. where the
matter was discussed at some length
and where all the statistics obtaina-
BILE. were presented for his considera-
tinn.
Mr.. Bush says he does not desire to
be misunderstood in this matter.
That he does not come here to inau-
gurate any matters in connection with
the forwarding of the movement for
the building of the high line but to
supplement- the work already done and
that is proposed further to do. the
same as any other railway does run
ming through territory which is to
be greatly affected by the reclamation
of such large body of land and
which the officers of the Rio Grand
would do in the matter also.
