More Limbs of the Law.

About 1000 men are to be added to
the legal profession in the state of
New York this var On the face OF
things this looks like an inhammato-
ry stimulus to legislation. The build
ing OF battleships is usually accepted
as an indication that there is going
TO be a war, though the political
reason for a conflict may not be in
sight. The wholesale commissioning
OF young lawyers may be looked up
on as an augury OF more lawsuits.
Carrying deadly weapons and keep
ing in close touch with plenty OF
lawyers are two ways OF getting into
fights However, there is a natural
law OF compensation and adjustment
at work all the time. Old lawyers re-
tire or die as the young lawyers
come to the fore And then great
many who are admitted to practice
never become more than nominal
lawyers. Some find it such uphill
work to build a practice that they
abandon their ambition and go into
something easier. Still, the lawyers
take up the profession at their own
risk Keep out OF court if you can.

A Man of the People.

1t ought to satisfy any reasonable
man to have, after he is gone, such
a tribute paid to his virtues as the
following from the Indianapolis News
concerning Hon. Will Cumback:
He was not strictly learned man
nor especially brilliant, but he had
the faculty of thinking straight, and
he handled familiar topics in a pleas
ing and popular way. Naturally a
man of the people, he won their con-
fdence and sympathy. whether in
politics or on the lecture platform.
During all the years that he was
prominent in Indiana politics, and
while he was engaged in giving and
receiving hard blows his personal in

his full share to the good citizenship
and reputation of the state, and in his
death he has left name and memory
to be honored,

PLYMOUTH, INDIANA THURSDAY. AUGUST IT, 1905.
FRENCH LICK CASINO.
New Man Bids $4,000 a Year for
Privileges.

Al Anderson formerly employed by
Al Brown. who has had the Casino
at French Lick for several years, told
friends in Logansport yesterday that
the closing of the casino was due to
the trouble between the owners OF
the casino and Brown, the former
lessee. Anderson said that the at
tempt was made to force Brown, who
was paying $4,000 a year for the
gambling privileges, to vacate the ca
sino in favor of Ed. Ballard, Of West
Baden, who is understood to have Of
fered $4,000 a year for the privel-
eges. According to Anderson's story
Brown barricaded the casino for three
days and nights, defending it from
those that would dispossess him, at
last giving up after he had received
$35, 1000 in cash. He then released all
of his men, Anderson being one, and
left Ballard in possession Ballard is
expected to resume the games there
az soon as possible.
1t Is understood that Al Browns
lease had two years yet to run and
that he stood on his rights" until
the management of the hotel paid him
s35,OOO- The $4,000 paid to Brown
is partly for the furnishings.
The cutting out of the Western
Union company's race trac service, it
is reported by Anderson's friends,
was one OF the incidents in connec-
ton with the passing Of the casino
privileges to the hands of Ed Ballard,
who already controlled the gambling
privileges at West Baden
would appear that the closing OF
the casino was not the result of the
Governors campaign. 1t is nown.
however, that the Governor has had
two representative at French Lick
and West Baden gathering evidence.

BRICK AT WINONA.
Indiana Congressman Addresses a
Large Audience.

A. L. Brick, congressman from this
district, was introduced at Winona,
by Judge Royse of Warsaw, who
made a witty informal speech.
Mr.. Brick spoke of the national
pride of our nation. He described
the city of Washington in detail, pay
ing tribute to the worth and purity
of Americas women, particularly the
mother and wife of Washington. He
reviewed the history of the United
States from the time of the Declar-
alton of independence to the present
day
The government at Washington,
the speaker declared, is just what the
American people make it. Wealth
he considered not a menace but
benefit to our country where every
plow boy has a chance equal to the
son of wealth. He urged that tie
memories OF the founders of our gov
ernment be kept green. The con-
dition of people in other countries
compare unfavorably with the people
of our own country. This fact should
be appreciated. The spirit of fairness
5 dominant in America and the gov
ernment at Washington is an honest
government that represents an hon
est people.

Hanly's West Baden Crusade.

Gov. Hanly's attempt to eliminate
gambling from Indiana's two popu-
lar all year resorts, West Baden and
French Lick, may not meet the ap-
proval OF the sporting people who
patronize those places, but it will
have the cordial sanction of the bet
ter class who seek the resorts for
rest, benefit and legitimate recreation
and contribute large sums constantly
to their support Both places have
become more or less notorious OF re-
cent years as gambling resorts, fact
that has not added to the pleasure

the mpurely for the benefit to be de-
rived from drinking and bathing in

years OF age.
Many things were against his re-

the palace. he declared: III this prov
es to be yellow fever, l will join the
majority He did not then know how
truthfully he spoke. That was last
Friday night at o'clock.

For several years the editor O. the

at the market gardeners because
they do not raise green peas during
July and August We thought this
shiftlessness on the part of the mar
ket gardeners, and grumbled, as we
are very fond of green peas.
This year we have a garden and
the other day market gardener
wrote us: "You have been grumbling
because market gardeners do not
raise green peas during July and Au-
gust. You have a garden this year;
why don't you do it,"
We can't do it; nobody can. But
we didn't know it until we tried.
1t was fair and square knockdown
and dragout unanswerable argument.

grumble because other people don't
do?-Atchison Globe.

LID" OFF AT MICHIGAN CITY.
Newspapers Say the Laws Are Not

Michigan City, Ind, August TO-

gan asserts that the new police board

I'm all fairness, the people certain
ly have the right to expect an i'm
provement rather than a backward
step, and the general impression pre-
walls that there is a much greater
laxity i'll the enforcement of law to-
day than six weeks ago under the
former regime. 1t is charged that
Sunday liquor violations are more
general and more bold; that where
houses of ill-repute were driven out
by the former control, now others
have been established and new ones
have sprung up; that where Sunday
evening amusements, tempting and
without good influences and sur
roundings for young girls, were
closed by former police control. they
are now permitted as before, and that
with permission, if not encourage
ment.
These conditions are certainly not
consistent with the complaints and
petitions which went from Michigan
City to the Governor, and people are
wondering why they are permitted by
those now in authority, and who were
put there for the purpose of improve
ment. In fact, it is charged that some
OF those who filed certain complaints
with the Governor are now permitted
to engage in some of this unlawful
business without teh slightest moles-
tation"
