Daniel has spoken.
And Metsker would have you be-
lieve that his reputation for truth and
veracity is good.
Daniel was in the liars den (yester-
day.. Be careful Dan or the liar
may smirch you.
The pill was bitter, nj since he
has reformed almost anything tastes
sweet to him.
TheHonorable CD Clay w. Nets
ker, ex-member of the Indiana legis-
lature was placed under arrest by
Constable George W. Bowel at IL o.
clock Saturday morning.
SIS
she money loss at San FRANCISCO
is co~nservatively placed at four hun
dred million dollars. Much of this
enormous loss ssill be made good
by the insurance companies, the sol
vency of many of which will be put
to a severe test.
Some unbelievers are using this
disaster to prove to themselves that
there is no God. But their efforts
are as futile as those who attempt
to prove that it was a visitation of
Gods wrath. The good book says
that "as high as the heavens are
above the earth, so high are Gods
ways above our ways and Gods
thoughts above our thoughts"

For the safety OF the living, crema
ton of the dead had to be resorted
to at San Francisco. The burial pro
cess was too uncertain, too slow
Trenches were dug. corpses piled in
to them, and a covering of earth
placed on top, but this was found in
adequate from a sanitary standpoint
Hence the resort to cremation--aw
full as it seemed to the living wit
nesses.
The experience of San Francisco
demonstrate that the modern steel
construction IS substantially earth
quake proof. Few of the buildings
made by the best methods were ir-
reparably damaged. The same may
be said of well-constructed frame
buildings. 1t was brick and stone
that was shaken down. The most
fearfully destructive agent in the San
Francisco horror was the fire demon.
We publish today som, extracts
from the speech of Judge Ro5y made
at the congressional convention of the
Fort Wayne district, which should be
read and pondcred by every voter.
They show the necessity of selecting
the very best men as delegates to
state and congressional conventions,
and the necessity Of displacing men
who when in Office build up political
machinery to advance their own in
terest.
when rogues fall out honest men
get their Dues The latest news is
that the railroads have discovered
that the big packers and shippers of
Chicago, not satisfied with the favors
~unlawfully granted them by the
transportation companies, have been
aking rebates of their own by means
OF. false bills of lading. 1t was
through a quarrel among the life in
surance plunderers that the reforms
IN that line were obtained. Perhaps
this quarrel will help producers and
consumers.-South Bend Times.
The Tribune is being commended
everywhere for the exceilency of its
matter on the earthquake situation.
Those who read the daily and weekly
Tribune always ges the best. The
Plymouth Tribune is always carefully
edited, all slush is eliminated, conse-
quently Its readers are always posted
on general and local news and have
political situations presented in a
manner that everybody can under
stand. The Tribune l. not the organ
of any corporation, cliques, personal
or political machines.

When Senator Lafollette of Wis
c~onsin, was delivering his address on
the rate bill, a number of the rail
road senator's" left the senate cham
bers in order TO belittle him. This
manifestation of boorishness on their
part was anything but creditabIe to
them. One of the senators in order
to put a further slight upon him sug-
gested a roll call, claiming there was
TO quorum. Senator LaFollette re-
piled that while the senate might re-
fuse to listen to him, the people
would hear him. And he was right.
The people will gladly hear any man
who has their welfare at heart and
has the courage to speak in their be-
half as he has done.
