The Election of Senator's.

Recent results of the popular choice
of Senators by primary vote, it being
understood that the Legislature will
confirm the choice, are hardly likely
to commend this method to other
states. In Tennessee, for instance,
"Fiddling Bob" Taylor, former
governor of the state, has beaten
Senator Carmack. This, it is safe to
say, demonstrates only that Taylor
is more popular than Carmack, not
that he is better fitted for the Office.
In Mississippi Governor Vardaman
is leading in the race for the Senate
Arkansas is to retire her two old
Senators for new men, one the &c
centric Davis, as a result of the same
manner of choice. OF course, If the
people feel that they are not proper
ly represented by Senators, as now
chosen, some method will be found
to make them more directly respon-
.ive. But the present method was
not hit on by chance there was a
purpose in it. Story, in his common
tary on the constitution, says:
at was recommended by the doub-
lie advantage of favoring a select ap-
pointment, and of giving to the State
government such an agency in the
formation of the national government
as might secure due authority to
the former, and serve as connecting
link between the two systems.
Three methods of choice were pro-
posed. One by direct vote of the
people; the other by the national
House of Representatives the third
the one that was settled on for the
reason given. So it will be seen the
subject was we'll considered, and on
the whole the burden is still on those
who say it; to prove that the system
chosen has not worked well.-1ndian-

Mrs. E. E. Lord, widow of the late
R. K. Lord, at one time proprietor
of the Colonnade Hotel at Lake Max
inkuckee, was stricken with apoplexy
Saturday evening and died Sunday
evening She was born near Dayton,
Ohio in 1859 and was married to
Ralph K Lord in 1881, coming to the
lake in 1884, where Mr.. Lord engaged
in the steam boat line business until
his death in 1889. SO far as known
Mrs. Lord had no living relatives,
and the disposition of her consider
able property will not be known un-
til the filing of her will, now in pos

No More Napoleons.

Never until quite recently was it
discovered that the small stature Of
Alexander the Great and of Napoleon
untitled them for generalship.
This important discovery has been
followed by an order barring all m an
under FIVE feet five inches from APP
pointments as officers in the United
States army.
President Roosevelt has issued the
order and the general staff is pre-
pairing the regulation. Hereafter
neither Napoleon nor an Alexander
will have chance.
Never can there be another Phil
Sheridan in the army of the United
States, for Gen. Sheridan was only
5 feet 3 inches. This is too short
by twoinches but it never was sus-
pected until lately that Gen. Sheri-
dams head was not high enough to
see every opportunity and take quick
advantage of it.
Height and weight count strongly
for some purposes, but they don't
count any more strongly in general
than they do in banker or in mer-
chant.
Gen. Joe Wheeler has been ranked
in popular esteem as a good deal of
a commander. But no-too short
The big general Shafter, whom the
little Wheeler saved from rout at
Santiago, was the better commander,
according to the new rule, by six or
seven inches in height and forty or
more in girth.
General Fred Funston IS the popu-
lar hero of the Philippines. But there
will be no more of his size.
The highest that Fred can here
after hope to do in the army is to
brush the uniforms and polish the
epaulets of Gen. Leonard Wood.
1t would be very interesting to
have it explained why there is any
more necessity that a military officer
should be big man physically than a
railroad manager or college presi-
dent-Louisiana Herald.

Mrs. James M. Gibson.

Mrs. Frances Gibson, who died sud-

mouth. There was no better family
in Plymouth than the Jonathan
Freese family and the sisters have
the sympathy Of many friends here.
The remains were inferred at Oak
Hill cemetery, short services being
held at the M. E. church at 2:3o p. m.
Tuesday.
After the above was in type we
learned that Mr. Freese was wheel
man on the freight-boat Chemung,
belonging to the Union line of steam
ers He was member in good stand
in in the Sailors Union, and had an
excellent reputation. The Union no.

The Mcdonald Family Reunion.

AT meeting of the officers of the
Mcdonald Family society held May
10, 1906, the following announcement
was ordered to be made:
At the annual reunion of the Nc
Donald family in 1905, resolution
was unanimously passed to hold the
reunion in 1906, at the residence of
the late David R. Voreis, one and a
half miles south of Hubbard, in
Union township, on Thursday, July
&c, 1906, and that all who came TO
Marshall county in 1856 and their
posterity, especially, and all old set
tiers generally, be invited to attend
at the time and place named and par
ticipate in the picnic and proceedings
of the occasion
The reunion will be the celebration
of the roth anniversary of the arrival
at that place, July Goth, 1886, of the
caravans composed of the McDon-
aids, Decisions, Thompsons, Brown
lee s, Voreises, Houghtons, Morrises,
Logans and others.
As Marshall county, and Plymouth,
as the county seat, had been organic
ed only six days prior to that date,
July 90, the occasion may be consid-
cred also the celebration of the three
score and ten years of the legal exis-
tence' of the county.
All old settlers and their posterity
are cordially invited to be present and
bring with them we'll filled baskets
that they and all may have enough
and TO spare. A program will be
prepared in due time Arrangements,
at a reasonable rate will be made for
transportation from Hubbard to the
picnic grounds.

Foraker Would Not Recant.

Senator Foraker voted against the
rate bill as it passed the senate. He
was one of the three who did so.
Months ago the Ohio legislature let
it be known that it favored rate legis-
lation and asked that Senator Fora
ker support the measure. The sena-
tor, however, continued to be with
the opposition. He may have been
honest in his conviction that congress
has no authority under the constitu-
ton to attempt to regulate rates If
SO he is to be commended for his per-
sistence. Yet it does seem that he
has hardly represented Ohio in the
way that Ohio would like to have
been represnted.-South Bend Trib-

The House in Mysteries.

The House of Representatives had
an attack of something that from a
distance looks much like Mysteries
when the bill to provide punishment
for public officials who improperly
disclose official information in 'ad-
vance of formal publication came be-
fore it for passage.
The Mysteries were due to the fact
that the congressman discovered that
when the bill went on the statute
books a large proportion of them
would be in danger of penitentiary
imprisonment almost every time they
made a speech or talked to a news
paper man.
Although both houses had pre-
viously taken favorable action and a
joint bill had been reported from
conference committee on lines laid
down by resolutions of instruction,
it was summarily killed by the lower
house and buried deep below the leg
islative sod
1t may we'll be that the bill was
defective in the manner in which it
applied to members of congress, or
perhaps even in applying to them at
all. But it is pity that that fact
was not learned earlier in the ses-
sion, when amendment could have
been made without this sudden spasm
of fear which destroyed a really need
ed piece of legislation
The scandals in the Department of
Agriculture last fall in connection
with the cotton crop statistics made
it sufficiently clear that action by
Congress was essential. 1t is true
that the Attorney General had found
roundabout method by which GER
tain of the offenders could be in
dicted, but it was clear that a direct
prohibition in the code would assure
better safeguards to the statistical
service in the future A law confined
in its scope to employees in the exec
utive service would have answered
the purpose.
1t is inevitable that the collection
of information for the benefit of the
nations agriculture, industry and
commerce will become an increasing
ly large part of the federal govern
ment's work. Abuses are always pos
sible in connection with such service.
Laws that will act as discouragers
of abuses will be the more useful the
sooner they are enacted.-Chicago

Room Always For Workers.

Talking to group of young men
in the Carl Schurz funeral train An.
drew Carnegie was led into discus
sion of socialism and of what the
man in New York without a dollar
should do He said:
Il am an individualist and think
the state is doing as much as it
should. If | were young man and
alone in the world | would work for
a dollar day if necessary and !
don't think ! would ask anyone to
help me. There is always room for
the man who is willing to work"

Charles A. Freese.

The remains of Charles A. Freese,
only son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jonathan
N. Freese, both deceased, were
brought to this city for iilterment
Monday, and his sisters, Mrs. L. X
Hewitt, of New Castle, Pa, Mrs.
f. F. Guilbert of East Orange, N.
J., and Mrs. L. K. .Whitcomb, of Chi
cago, arrived Tuesday morning.
Deceased had been sailor on Lake
Erie for the past ten years and was
drowned His body was washed
ashore at Cleveland Saturday morn
ing and seemed to have been in the
water a week or ten days He was
identified by card in his pocket
that had the address of his sister at
New Castle, Pa. His sisters do not
know the name of the boat that he
was on, but efforts will be made to
find it. Another corpse, evidently
drowned at the same time, was wash
ed ashore with his remains. There
have been severe storms and wrecks
within the past ten days and both
sailors were evidently on some vessel
that went to the bottom.
AS stated at the beginning of this
article, his father and mother are
both dead, but he has four sisters liv-
ing. They we're all girls in Plymouth
and were known as Carrie, Anna,
Nettie and Edna The three older
sisters were here, Edna, the young

father died, is now Mrs. Robert Wal
lace, of Newcastle, Pa, and was not
here. Charles was 80 years and 10
months old, and is recollected by all

Senator Beverage introduced his
bill to provide for the inspection of
all meat products designed for home
consumption as we'll as meat and
meat products for shipment to for
eign countries, and this, too, is part
ly the outgrowth of the investigation
of conditions at the stockyards. In
a nutshell the purpose of the bill is
to give the American consumers of
slaughter-house products the same
protection that foreigners have under
the existing law. The provisions of
the measure, however, are more
stringent than those now in force
the measure, however, are more
with respect to products for export.

Our Peat Boys.

To find out the value for fuel pur-
poses of the peat boys in this county
and other sections of the northern
part of the state, and to determine
what there is in the oil and gas boom
along the line between Indiana and
Illinois, State Geologist w. S. Batch
ley is conducting series of extern
sive investigations.
During the last year i have had
at least 100 letters of inquiry about
the peat boys in the northern part
of the state" said Mr.. Blatchley, "and
SO decided to make an investigation,
and include the finding in my an
nual report for 1906. / have men
working in the northern tier of coun-
Use now and expect to work at the
same thing myself during the COM
ing summer. The peat fields may be
valuable and may not be-no one
knows now. All we know is that
there is vast amount of peat in the
northern counties of the state"
In certain parts of Europe peat is
used extensively instead of coal
There are places on the British Isle,
it is said, where coal is seldom used
The peat boys of Europe cover thous-
ands of acres of land, and to the poor
er classes are of inestimable value
Indiana has SO much and such good
coal that there is little probability
of the peat of this state ever proving
a great factor in the states resources,
but the investigation of Mr. Blatchley
may result in discoveries which will
show that the boys of Northern In
diana are far more valuable than they
are now thought to be-

Forecasts Cause Gambling.

Congressman Crumpacker, in a
speech the other day, thought that
the appropriation for collection of az

large. He believed that the forecasts
of cotton crops made by the depart

aiding the cotton grower put the
whole subject into the stock market.
He questioned whether this kind of
