Mr.. Shonts and the Canal.

Mr.. Shonts, chairman of the
Panama Canal Commission, min
ces no words in talking about
the canal, and what he says OF
the element working against the
enterprise will undoubtedly Gre
ate a sensation. He is probably
right in asserting that the oppo-
sition to the building of this wat
erwav is as active now as at any
time during the half century
since it was first seriously talked
of.
That a bureau of publicity ex-
lists whose purpose it is to create
tie impression that the canal will
never be built and that money
is wasted in the attempt may cas-
liz be believed by those who read
rlany newspapers and periodi-
Gals. Articles magnifying the
difficulties Of the undertaking are
numerous interviews with
prominent citizens never heard
of by the public before, but said
to have expert knowledge, pre-
sent gloomy views of the situa-
ton on the isthmus; and un-
known gentleman lust returned
from Panama figure frequently
as holding discouraging opinions
concerning successful compile
ton of the venture.
Such matter, even though not
authoritative, must have its eff
feet on public sentiment, and this
sentiment, it is presumably hop
ed by the enemies of the canal,
may eventually aid in furthering
adverse legislation. Mr.. Shonts
understands this, and his sharp
condemnation of the methods
used will help to lessen their in
fluence. Mr.. Shonts, too, has evil
IDENTIFY come in contact with the
hampering red tape of which
Chief Engineer Wallace COM
planned, and which led him to re-
sign his position in disgust. The
chairman of the commission will
not resign, but will urge upon
Congress the importance of
greater liberty of action on the
part of those who engage to
build the canal and less petty SUI
pervision by the Government
supervision that retards progress
and benefits no one. His frank
and forceful utterances clear the
air and indicate that he is the
right man in the right place. II
Secretary Taft shall support his
views after his investigation OF
conditions Congress win be still
less likely to interfere witty the
work. What Mr.. Shont vsry
happily calls the Roosevelt Cana
must be built. The American
people want it--Indianapolis
Star.

Anniversary Surprise.

Thursday was the 25th ami
versarv of the marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Joseph Eich
and about fifty friends and rela-
tives gave them a complete sur
prise at their elegant new home
on Michigan street Thursday ev-
ening. 1t was one of the jolliest
happiest gatherings of the sea-
son. Gussie. Freddie, Irene and
Meta Kuhn were the musicians
of the occasion and their playing,
always the very best. seemed to
excel all previous efforts.
There were addresses by Rev.
Mr.. Adomeit and John NJ. Olds,
excellent refreshments, and nu-
merous presents beautiful and
useful.
Many of those present were at
the marriage of Joe and Sophia
at the Haslanger hotel, now
known as the Windsor house.
then owned and managed by the
brides mother. They recollected
the sturdy young German and his
bride, the beautiful Sophia Has
LANCER, and rejoiced that after
twenty-five years they were still
happy and blessed with fair
share of everything necessary to
make them happy. While Mr.. and
Mrs. Eich were surprised they
soon made their guests feel at
home and it was an occasion
which will long be pleasantly re-
membered by all who were there.

Barbara Miller Gone.

Nobody in Plymouth believed,
after the cash was deposited for
the appearance of Barbara Miller
the shop litter, that she would
ever appear for trial. The Ham
let Herald says: The disappear
ance of Mrs. Margaret Miller and
daughter, Barbara, from their
farm has caused much comment
on the already prominent case.
Their present residence is still
unknown. The goods were pack
ed Friday by Bernard Miller, to
be shipped to Chicago. The farm
has been sold to Jacob Nier for
the sum OF $1,000.

THE MEMS MEETING.
Sunday Night in M. E. Church {
Success.

There was an immense crowd
at the Methodist church Sunday
evening. Almost all the chairs
were carried upstairs from the
chapel and the gallery as we'll as
the aisles and entrance room was
packed.
More than the usual number Of
hymns were sung; there were
two prayers and two or three ad-
dresses by the pastor before the
speakers advertised began thei:
addresses. Pastor Crowder stat
ed that this was the first of a SER
les of monthly meetings which it
was hoped would prove of inn
mense benefit to the town. The
mayor of the city and Editor
Metsker had been invited to
speak because they were not
members of any church and their
positions would make their opln-
ions of interest while the other
speakers were prominent church
workers and would speak from
that standpoint. He said the Of
fetal board expected to .have
Governor Hanly speak at the
December meeting and promi-
nent citizens of Plymouth would
also be invited to make addresses.
All these preliminaries took
time and it was $50 p. m. when
Mayor Logan was introduced.
He made an interesting address
on the value of religion to every
community and contended there
was more religion in Plymouth
and almost everywhere else than
most people supposed. He init
mated that the world would soon
go to destruction if it were not
for the innate feeling implanted
in the heart that there was a God
who ruled the universe and the
religious teachings implanted in
the minds of almost everybody
in childhood. He believed the
churches were doing much good
and could do more good by get
ting closer to the people.
Mr. Metsker read a very we'll
written article. His subject was
Why Men Do Not Attend
Church" but as Geo. H. Thayer
was to follow him and tell why
men ought to attend church, Mr..
Metsker tried to prove that men
ought not to go to church unless
the pulpit was filled by a man of
more than ordinary ability.
Mr.. Thayer in a short address,
showed very conclusively that it
was the duty of all men to attend
church and in SO doing they
would be made better, society
would be greatly improved and
everything in connection with
this world of ours would be bet
ter.
w. H. Matthew closed the
meeting with short pointed adj
dress showing why men should
become church members.
These meetings are an inno-
vation and have caused consider
able comment in this city, but we
hope a discussion of religious
questions or a series of monthly
religious conferences by men,
may result as they are intended,
in making the city better in every
respect. There is certainly room
for improvement and better en-
forcement of law especially on
Sunday evenings.
