Righteous Indignation.

There will be sympathy, of course,
for the wives and children of the Elk
hart bank wreckers, but none whatev-
er for the wreckerS themselves. Men
that, through the machinery of the
national bank organization, set about
robblng their friends and neighborS
who have trusted them with their
hard-earned savings deserve no COM
passion. They are robbers or conf
dence men" of peculiar odious kind,
and the injury they do to individuals
and to community is most wicked
and lasting ia It's evil consequences.
Their crime is all the worse because
of their intelligence and their respect
ability. The greater the gifts the
greater the obligation and the more
helnouos, therefore, the betrayal of
trust. Judge Anderson was none too
severe in his sentence and in his words
of righteous indignation which accom-
panied his announcement of DOOM

Since the democratic city ticket
was named it has been evident that
the editor of the Independent Demo-
crat and all the other leaders consider
it very weak ticket. Metsker has
devoted two or three columns to the
defense of the democratic candidates,
although the ticket has not been at
tackled by republicans. The fact that
Metsker considers it necessary to de-
fend the ticket before it is assailed is
the best evidence IN the world that he
does not believe its candidates are the
equals of those on the republican tick
ct in capacity to give the city good
government even IL they are all nice
young men. The Tribune only asks
every voter to 60 to the polls and after
due consideration to vote for the best
men for the various offices. II every
voter will do this we shall have an Inn
provement in city government and
taxes will be reduced.

How About "Ready Pay"

Some fifteen years ago John COlvin,
a5 a time when he had a few unused
dollars laying around, purchased 1000
shares in the 'sReady Pay" mine of
Colorado. There were others in Bour-
bon at that time who bought some of
the same stock, among them Chas.
Wink and Thomas B. Lee.
This mine, 1t seems, went up against
some pretty hard propositions. and
since that time has not proved very
successful dividend paying property.
But time has changed in some respects
the conditions, and it is now reported
that Ready Pay" is worth about
S13. 90 per share. This would mean
that John Colvin'S 1000 shares is
worth in the market to-day $50, 900.
This, or course, is sufficient to make a
man walk on imaginary air. But
John COlvin doesn't. In fact, he ap-
pears gIum, as though adversely had
given him a blow below the belt, and
he will too, until he reaches his Okla
h0ma home, and satisfies himself that
he did not transfer those identical
1000 shares of Ready Pay stock to
the stove several months ago when he
was seized with cleaning up fever

Work OF the Salvation Army.

Farm colonies under the super

this country the army has established

Oklahoma and Arizona.

1t is gratifying to know that the
new states will boar the familiar ter
rit0rial names Oklahoma and Arizona.
There was talk some time ag1 OF re-
nameing one Of these territories and
calling 1t Jefferson on its admission to
the Union. Had this been done no
doubt the other would have been Ia
beled with the name Of some historic
celebrity already sufficiently honored,
and two musical and significant appel
lations thus lost. This mistake was
made when the State Of Washington
was given its present title instead Of
Tacoma, in honor of the wonderful
mountain visible from so large part
of its territory. The name of the
father of his country had been given
TO the capital Of the Nation-a
memorial that was surely enough
and confusion has since existed by the
duplication of the name, Washing
ton State" being necessary in speech
and safer in postoffice addresses in or
der to distinguish the two. The coun-
try has become accustomed to the
Spanish name Arizona, "dry belt, !"
and to the Indian name Oklahoma,
"beautiful land" and will gladly
retainthem as permanent possessions.

THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH.

Plymouth is now city of 4, 900 peo-
pie and contains property worth mil
lion of dollars. The men who manage
its interests should be men of exper-
fence and ability, men acquainted
with its needs and possessing the hon.
esty and intelligence necessary to leg
islate for the best interests of the
city. The Improvements that have
been made are all right, but taxes
have reached the highest limit posi-
BILE and it is evident to every citizen
who gives city matters intelligent
thought, that we hrve just reached a
place where good judgment, honesty
and intelligence is needed to maintain
our present position and have our city
go forward without additional taxa
tion, or additional Indebtedness.
On Tuesday, May 3. the voters of
Plymouth will elect an entire new set
Of city officers and at least five new
councilman, only one old councilman
having been nominated. Every man
and woman in Plymouth is interested
in electing the best officers possible;
it therefore behooves every voter to
consider calmly and candidly the
question of good city government and
to vote accordingly. The city election
is of far more Importance to us than
the presidential election, and the best
men for mayor, clerk, treasurer,
marshal and city councilmen should be
chosen.

BANK wREcKERs SENTENCED
Broderiek. Collins and Brown Are Now
in Fort Leavenwor!h Prison.

J. L. Brodrick, president OF the
wrecked Indiana National Bank, at
Elkhart, was sentenced by Judge An
derson, in the United States District
Court Thursday to ten years impris-
onment in the United States peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth, Kas.
w. L. Collins, cashier of the wreck
ed bank, was sentenced to>six years in
the same penitentiaay. The judge,
liz sentencing Collins, took into consid-
Grafton his services to the government
as witness and took the ground that
he had been used as tool.
Walter Browns motion for new
trial was over-ruled and he was sem
fenced for eight years.
Two hours after Browns sentence
the trio of bank wreckers were on
their way to the government prison
at Fort Leavenworth. leaving Indian
apolls at 1925 O'Clock over the Big
Four. They were in charge of United
States Marshal Henry Petit, Chief
Deputy Marshal Will X: Snavelly and
Deputy Marshal Rankin and arrived
at Fort Leavenworth at 10 O'Clock
this morning.
Brown sat between his doctor and
attorneys at the table facing Judge
Anderson. His face, swollen abnOr-
mally and his color unnatural, he ap-
peared on several occasions to be 90
the point of a breakdown, but after
his sentence had been passed and he
left the courtroom he seemed much
better. Browns wife renamed with
him and went with him to Leaven-
worth. Brown seemed in better
spirits after he and his wife entered
the cars, while Mrs. Brown chatted
and laughed, attempting to keep him
cheerful, although it was evident that
she suffered as much as be. BrOdrick
bought an evening paper and entered
the smoking car, where was also Col
Inns. AS the train pulled out the
three men sat at their windows taking
a last look at the city Of their doom.

As to Negro Education.

What strikes the northern educator
as particularly absurd in current dis
cussionS of manual education versus
literary education for the negro is the
notion many people seem to have that
the two kinds of education are mu-
tually exclusive. Granted that the
black man ought also to learn as much
literature, mathematics, and science
as he Is capable Of learning: and that
the limit OF his capabilities, as is the
case with white men. is determined
not by racial but by individual con-
siderations. A bright young fellow
won't learn any the less bricklaying
from having the opportunity to learn
little history and geography. and be
is much more likely to become a desi-
rable citizen Boston Transcript.

REPRESENTATIVE K. d. Crumpacker
thinks one of the unsolved mysteries
of the times is why men OF seeming
good character will deliberately move
toward the penitentiary. "The con-
viction of w. L. Collins, j. L. Brod-
rick and Walter Brown" said the
congressman, as he took comfortable
position in the house smoking room,
sought to be a lasting lesson to young
men in Indiana, but l am afraid it
will not be. Year by year the govern
ment, which we know is relentless,
puts men in prison for wrecking banks,
an6 yet men of the highest intelligence
continue to offer themselves as SUBJ
jects.
"The troable is we have set up some
false standards of wealth and of living
n this country. l have thought
about it good deal in recent years,
and it occurs 10 me that we are ia
need of a revival of the good old doc
trine that honesty is the best policy.
If every man could see what he ought
to see early In life that an honest, up
right career is the only one worth pur-
suing, we would have fewer wrecked
lives as a result Of following the false
standards Of the day.
liam preaching that doctrine every
day, and every man who has any in

Will He Bolt?
In an interview given out this week

In an interview given out this week
Mr.. Bryan said:
II do not think the instructions will
give Judge Parker any additional
strength, but the platform adopted by
the convention ought to prevent his
nomination unless the democrats,
when they assemble at Str Louis, de-
eide to attempt confidence game on
the public"
ThiS'it seems to US, is pretty d.
rect intimation that if Judge Parker
is nominated at St. Louis Mr.. Bryan
will bolt the ticket. For he says that,
after the adoption of the New York
platform, the democrats can not NOM
mate the New York judge without
playing a confidence game on the pub
lic-and of course, Mr.. Bryan would
not consent for a moment to be a
party to any confidence game. Well,
this makes most interesting situa-
ton, surely.-Indianapolis News.

Bad Spelling and Murder.

A man now on trial for murder in
Danville, Ind, may be convicted by
his bad spelling. In order to verify
his suspected authorship of certain
letter he was induced by an ingenious
trick to reproduce it from memory.
Then, on comparison of the original
letter and the reproduction from menu
ory there was found not only SINH
larity Of writing, but That the writer
had misspelled several words exactly
the sane way. AS bad spoilers do
not always misspell words the same
way. the identity OF the bad spelling
in this case makes a strong point
against the defendant.

Peru, Ind. April 23.-The state law.
which requires that the chairmen of

the city clerk certificate of the
nominations fifteen days before the

some Republicans of this city, because
the certificate of their party was not
filed until Tuesday, the fourteenth day.

that the certificate Of the Democratic

way. as the city clerks baby got the
certificate from his pocket and played
with it until the next day, before he
thought of it again.
Prohibitionists Also Irregular.
The Prohibitionist filed their certifi-
