ADOPTS HILL PLANS
Wabash Sewers Relations with Ontario
=. Despatch Freight, Line. ..z

Freight offices have. received notice
that the Ontario Despatch fast freight
line has been changed to the Ontario
Central Despatch, and that it will be
operated over the Michigan Central
Wabash.
The Wabash road had given notice,
effective Feb. l, that all organizations
known as fast freight lines would be
discontinued and that the work would
be handled by the road. This move is
taken by local railroad men to be a
result Of the Burlingtonizing' Of the
Wabash. When Joseph Ramsey, Jr.
was ousted from mana cement of the
road, F. A. Delano, a typical Burling.
ton man, was given charge Of the traf.
fc. He became surrounded by former
Burlington men. and the methods
learned in the Hill school were put into
effect. The result has been noticed by
railroad men.

FAITH Is NEEDED

The age is restless because there is

E. r. Edge Of the Philosophical society
and read last night at the First Uni

Professor Edge declared that the
world has lost the true motive for art
and creative genius They demand an
atmosphere of impersonality, he wrote.
and no personal motive is large enough
or pure enough. They demand mur
tual concord and q union of all workers

this that inspired architects and crafts

MARSHALL COUNTY ISSUES.
Not Hendricks or earn, But. Life of
the Republican Party at Stake.

The Republicans convention has
been held and Republicans will have
a Republican county ticket in No
vember. The efforts of the boilers
to destroy the party have come to
Inaught.
But the boilers are still clinging
like grim death in their attempts to
accomplish their purpose. Beaten in
the courts, disgraced in the eyes oil
good people who have investigated
their claims, they still seem deter
mined to continue their lying and
deception until the votes are count
ed.
From the moment that they map
ped out their plans and started out
with the statement that they were
authorized by Congressman Brick
and the state committee to disrupt
the Republican party, they have
|waged campaign of falsehood and
deception and have refused to join
in plans of compromise.
They have lied as to their meth
DDS, lied about the decision of the
courts, lied about the calls for con-
ventions, and finally when the courts
decided against them and there was
still chance to put only one Re-
publican ticket in the field for which
all Republicans could vote. they
rushed 10 the county clerks Office
and filed their ticket on the first day
that they could do so, without giving
the men nominated June 2, any not
ice of their intentions.
Most of these candidates did not
know that they could not withdraw
from the ticket unless they Sled
their written declination with the
county clerk within three days after
their names were filed at the clerks
Office. In this way these men were
nailed TO the ticket so that they
cannot get off and could not have
their names placed on any other
ticket, and all this time the boilers
were telling their dupes that they
wanted to compromise"
Most of the men who are now
fastened to a boilers ticket where
their names will have to remain, UNI
less removed by death, are good Re
publicans and good men and will re-
greet all their lives the position il
which they were placed by gang
of boilers who wished to use them
for the accomplishment of selfish
ends.
There is one way, however, in
which the real Republicans placed on
the boilers ticket can redeem them
selves. They can vote the Republi
can ticket nominated at the regular
Republican convention held Septem-
Der Is, 1905 and urge all their friends
to do the same thing If they will
do this and refuse longer to be dup
ed by these schemers and their paid
attorneys, they can save their own.
regulations and the Republican party
of Marshall county.
Every candidate nominated June
?, can now see that he is simply the
tool of designing men, who took the
first opportunity to fasten him so
that ne could not get away.

Those Rumper Republicans.

Editor Tribune: Some conjecture
concerning when the rump organiza
ton came to life has been INDUCED
in and here is the truth. At eleven
o'clock at night after the Simon pure
Republican committee meeting ia
January, Postmaster Yockey, S. Z.
Boys and Lewis ]. Hess called the
fourth man to the Chronicle office
to inquire concerning the truth OF a
few points not exactly clear to them,
of the proceedings OF the meeting a,
which Mr.. w. G. Hendricks was
elected county chairman and stated
they did not propose to stand for
him as chairman. Mr. Hess had but
few hours previous, in the regular
meeting of the county committee for
organization, been defeated for the
position of chairman and according
to previous agreement moved to
make Mr.. Hendricks selection unani-
nous.
Wasn't that a precious bunch? But
what better could you expect of
them. Yockey, when he had demon
strated his utter inability to make a
living off of good 100 acre farm by
years of unavailing effort, and having
failed also to get county Office, in
utter despair gave up and moved to
town. Next we find him engrafted
into the good graces of Postmaste
Conger and made deputy postmas er
Mr.. Conger took him in when he was
in absolute need and gave him a jo.
at $1,000 per year. What next?
Yockey SO far betrays his trust as
to undermine Mr.. Conger and take
from him his position for himself.
Wasn't that gratitude? And how
we'll he has done the work entrusted
to him has been shown in the col
umns of this paper in the past few
weeks, by advertised letters.
Then Mr. Boys, the gentleman of
the bland smile who sings in the
choirs and edits the weekly Liar be-
TWEEN sings, who said last week the
court decision at Logansport was
favorable to Mr.. earn and was just
what they wanted and in the: next
paragraph said that Judge Larry was
a reputable and fair Judge and in the
coming trial they expected full jus
tice OF be melted out and all that.
What consistency He thinks the
public don't know enough to see
through the productions of his grea'
