Plymouth, Indiana, June Is. 1905.
The most successful men are those
who have prohted by their mistakes.
A girl likes promising young man,
but others prefer one w.ao pays cash.
The absent are like children-help>
less to defend emselves.-Charles
Reade.
New York expects to have Is
story s15,OOO,OOO hotel with 1000
rooms That's at the rate of $1,000
900 per story.
The man who takes life easy IS
apt to fall into the habit of taking
everything else the same way.
The Lake Shore railroad company
is now talking of putting on a 10
hour train between New York and
Chicago if it becomes necessary.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
seems to think the cotton growers
don't know as much about the acre
age as they do about the Department
of Agriculture"
Judging from Secretary Shaw's IN
difference to the deficit, the Equitable
officers think he wouldn't bother
about a surplus and want him to
head their company.
The smoking of cigarettes by ca
diets at both the West Point and An
napolis academies is strictly forbid
den, and for infringing the rule a
young man was expelled from the
naval school. Thar shows what I'm
Gle Sam thinks of the deadly cigar
cite and those who smoke them.

Milwaukee, Wis, appears to be
quite likely TO take the official graft
prize, as it is expected that over 100
men who have taken oath to serve
the people honestly and squarely as
public servants will be indicted for
wrong doing of various kinds.
The Development of the dairy in
dustry in the United States is scar
cely realized by business men. In
1893 the butter hauled over the Min
neapolis & ST. Louis Railroad in
Minnesota was four hundred thous-
and pounds In 1904 it was nearly
fourteen millions, the gain coming
wholly from Developments OF cream
cries along that railroad. This is
only one instance of good many
illustrations of growth of the butter
and cheese business in the states of
the Upper Mississippi valley.

Lynching, as national industry,
seems on the wane. The mobs kill
a victim here and there, but the de-
cline in the crimes leads to hope that
eventually this shocking form OF bar
barism may be stamped out. 1t is
peculiar to the United States, no 9TH
er civilized country seeming to find
it necessary to abrogate law in the
punishment of evil doors. Crimes
against life constitute the most ser
ious blot upon our national charac-
ter, and no reform is so badly need
ed as the reviving of general respect
for the majesty of the law.

The right of working people in the
different branches of industry to or
ganize for mutual help, encourage
ment, and protection is not to be call
ed in question. In civilized life and
honorable pursuits cooperation is
helpful and commendable, if not in
evitable; and yet the same conditions
which render organization proper inn
pose limits upon the rights of every
organization that proposes to regu-
late affairs involving the rights and
interests of the public at large La
Dor unions cannot be above law, and
acts of wrong against the public and
against the lawful business of citizens
or corporations committed by men,
bers OF the union or under its auspi-
ces are just as reprehensible and as
criminal as if committed by other per-
son or under any other auspices
No combination of laborers for law
full ends can authorize unlawful deeds
or justify crimes against the public
veal
