To Dismiss Judge Anderson

Representative Brick of South Bend
says he thinks it would be wise to in
troduce a bill in the house to abolish
the federal court now at Indianapolis
and dismiss Judge Anderson. Mr..
Brick says the indianapolis lawyers
have made it plain that there is no
federal court business at all in the
Hoosier state and there is no use OF
paying out the public money just for
the fun of keeping Judge Anderson In
job when he has nothing to do. Mr.
Brick says that in the future if there
should ever develop any federal
court business in Indiana that all the
people should take it UP in Chicago
and have it disposed of there.-Mar-
ion Leader.
While Mr.. Brick is in the dismis-
sing business he should oust Jim
Goodrich and John Moorman if he
wishes to have sure thing to get
back to Congress. Goodrich and
Moorman have thrown down the bars
and have assured ali boilers and dis
organizers that they will assist them
in any effort to disrupt the Republican
party.

For Popular Election Of Senator'S.

The Ohio legislature, which has
been busily considering tie relation oi
the United States senators to the peo-
pie, and which has strongly indorsed
popular election, now has new prop
osition before it tending toward that
end. A Horse committee has report
ed favorably resolution providing
for the creation of committee to
seek to procure the cooperation OF
the necessary two-thirds of the states
to secure a constitutional convention
Passage of the resolution will be
wlcomed o;.tside of the state as well
as within it. Both houses of the Iowa
Legislature, on Governor Cummins
suggestion, have passed a resolution
for convention of the states to meet
in Des Moines next summer. Many
of tie states, which have already gone
on record individually, are anxious foi
leadership which will unite them in q
movement that cannot be ignored by
senatorial obstructiveness.
Leadership is absolutely necessary
1t is only question which state will
take hold first. The state that does
stand in the lead will make itself q
name in history.-Record Herald.

A Fated Family.

Edward Barnes, aged forty years,
died at hotel in New Carlisle, Sun
day morning, March 1s, of injuries
received Saturday night when he was
struck by a Lake Shore passenger
train, No. 20, near that place The
horses which he was driving were
killed and the wagon in which he was
riding was demolished.
Barnes had sold $235 worth of
wheat in New Carlisle and started
home very much intoxicated. He
turned his team down the track at
the crossing, and was overtaken and
killed. When found he was uncon-
scious and in sitting position on
the engines pilot. One report sug-
gests that re was robbed, perhaps
murdered ,and then put on the right
of way.
A young wife and three children
survive. About three years ago
Barnes brother, Hiram Barnes, was
killed when his wagon was struck
by a Lake Shore train at crossing,
and his wife was injured but their
little child miraculously escaped
though hurled 100 feet. Five years
ago an uncle, George Wood, met
death in a similar grade crossing ac-
..idsnt.

Heart on Wrong Side.

William d. Crowell, one of the
we'll known farmers of Jefferson
township, Whitly county, is not like
other men when it comes to matter
of vital organs. In the first place
his heart is located on the right side
instead of the left side of his breast
The right lung wasted away six years
ago and about that time his heart
seemed to take a notion to move
over and occupy the portion of the
thoracic cavity made vacant by the
disappearance of the lung, and today
it is performing its function there
just as effeciually as it did when il
occupied the opposite side of the
chest.
Mr.. Crowell gets along fairly we'll
with one lung. Although he cannot
do much work or indulge in violent
exercise without becoming winded.
He says several physicians are very
anxious to get peep at his one lung
and movable heart, but they will not
be given the privilege to do so until
he is through with them. He does
not complain of the affliction; nor
is he "touchy" about the matter, but
is philosopher enough to make the
best of it. His health is fair, all
things considered, and he belongs to
family of marked longevity, he is
undoubtedly good for many years yet.

A Government Victory.

So general has been the desire TO
see the Chicago packers convicted
and punished in their own persons
that Judge Humphreys decision may
be thoughtlessly regarded as defeat
for the Government, whereas it is
really triumph. The decision and ac-
companying verdict follow the lines
laid down recently by the United
States supreme Court, to the effect
that pleas for immunity may avail for
individuals, but not for corporations.
The trust, therefore must go to trial.
1t is not easy to see, moreover, how
any single defendant, in the event
of personal prosecution, could have
been restrained of his own immunity
privilege. Perhaps the most salutary
effect of the whole proceeding is the
severe fright that has been thrown
into the packers. They have all been
greatly worried and can hardly fail
to be guided hereafter by some
wholesome respect for the law and
fear of punishment Multitudes OF
corporation officials all over the land
will hesitate before violating the law
by reason of the troubled dreams and
social tribulations that have visited
these Chicago packers-Indianapolis
Star.

To Build Plant at Shoals.

A suit which has been pending for
nearly three years between a COM
pany of Peru business men, composed
of Jerome Herff, Joseph Andres,
VIM. Hart and others, and rival
company, for the purpose of securing
site for an immense water power

favor of the Peru company. At the

1000 horsepower Almost every

Nestor of Whalers Dies.

Captain Charles Grant of Nantucket
Mass, the oldest whaling master in
the United States and the most sue
cessful the world has ever known, died
at his home at the age of 92 years.
He suffered paralytic stroke and re-

Captain Grant was the most re-

The Wabash Plaindealer says the
chairman of that district has shown
that he is unfit for the position.
Many members of the state organi-
zation seem to be working this year
to feather their own nests" instead
of trying to advance the interests OF
the Republican party. The statement
of conditions in the Eleventh district
applies exactly to District Chairman
Moorman.
The Plaindealer says he has dis
played his utter un6tness for the
chairmanship. If the generalship he
has displayed in the last two months
is to be an earnest of the management
he is to give the party in the campaign
to come, then the quicker he retires,
and makes place for a man who will
devote himself solely to achieving re-
suits for the Republican party, the
better it will be for the party organi-
zation.
While this fairly portrays Moorman
it also applies to Jim Goodrich and
Secretary Riddick.

State Chairman Jim Goodrich, the
man who says that precinct COM
mitteeman cannot be removed until
charges are preferred and proven, but
all the officers of county committee
may be removed at meeting secretly
called, of which these officers have
been given no notice and when no
charges have been made and no COM
plants entered by any body, seems to
stand at his home just like a dishon-
est man stands among honest men
everywhere else.
The Winchester Journal, the leading
and most influential Republican paper
published in Randolph county and the
home city of Chairman Goodrich, has
this to say of that gentleman: Jim
Goodrich is the attorney for three
railroads, and is the attorney for more
monopolistic corporations than all
the other attorneys of this county.
Thus either his wealth permits him
to spend much time at Indianapolis or
else these corporations do not be-
grudge his absence from his Office"

Prison Machinery Makes Twine.

Michigan City Dispatch The de-
partment at the state prison in which
the most interest centers at this time
is the new binder twine factory, and
the board of control is satisfied that
it will prove a successful venture.
The twine is made in balls; each
weigh five pounds, there being 500
feet in each ball The tv'ine is of
extra fine quality, the sample being
pronounced by experts who have ex-
amined it to be as fne as any ever
in the city AT the present time and
until the delicate machinery is finally
adjusted the prison is turning out
only about two tons a day, but the
capacity of the plant is FIVE tons a
day, and within a short tine it will
be running to its full capacity. There
are fifty convicts at work in this de-
partment, among them being the no.
torious Gus Rahke of Indianapolis
Members of the board say that the
farmers of the state will be able to
buy their binder twine this year
cheaper than ever. The orders may be
placed direct with the authorities at
the prison In lots of from so to 100
pounds the price will be 10 cents a
pound; from 1000 to 10000 pounds
the price will be ga cents per
pound. Last year binder twine sold
at most places in the state at from
IL to Is cents a pound.
The farmer will be permitted to
form pools and an entire neighbor-
hood can make one order large
enough to supply the wants of all
and the twine will be shipped them
direct from the prison factory.

If Newton Gilbert of Fl. Wayne,
is not heard of as a member of the
Philippine Commission within few
years his friends will be much mis-
taken. The authorities who are man.
aging the Philippines are looking for
young men. of energy, intelligence
and precision like Gilbert, and he
goes to the far away archipelago
with some powerful friends to shove
him along. Smith of California. who
will take charge of the insular Gov
ernment as its governor general, on
July 1, is warm personal friend and
admirer of Gilbert.
When Secretary Taft called Gil
bert to the War Department to ten
der him the judgeship, he said:
"This place is yours if you will
take it. How long time do you want
to consider it?"
Il don't want any time, replied
Gilbert Il accept it right now.
How to break the news TO his aged
father and mother was a matter of
first concern with Gilbert. He de-
cided that he would tell them with
his own lips so he left almost imme-
diately for Ft Wane and went from
there to Angola, where they live
Not until after they had heard from
hm the story of his appointment did
he permit it to be published in the
district organ at Fl. Wayne. Gilbert
has never liked the congressional
job.

Spends $4,000 in $50 Suit.

Gregory D. Mclean, farmer, tes-
tilted in the circuit court Saturday, at

years he had spent every cent of his
modest fortune, $4,000 in trying to
recover compensation for the loss of
six steers worth $3.50. Now he is seek
ing permission to continue the suit
as pauper, the state to pay the costs.
Judge McCune denied his petition.

IT was inevitable that sooner or lat
er the men who indulge in lynching
would find themselves in collision
with the national government.
Now and then the government OF
a state has been able to give sorre OF
these criminals an unpleasant TT of
nerves, but for the most part state
authorities can not find out who is
guilty and state and county officers
are loath to punish the neighbors they
know for such acts even when the
officers themselves wholly disapprove
of the action.
The case of lynching the negro
Johnson in Chattanooga, sentenced to
be executed and sentence stayed by
the supreme court of the United
States for further constellation, and
then seized from the keeping of the
United States marshal ly mob
brings one face to face with au

Diet Leads to Religion.

DR.. Emil G. Hirsch in his address
at Sinai Temple in Chicago, Friday
made a strong plea for a dietary re-
ligion.
The connection between the stom-
ach and moral tendencies, commonly
called the heart" said DR.. Hirsch, lis
much closer than is commonly sup
posed.
That the stomach and morality
are closely connected can not be de-
MED. The dietary religion of the old
Hebrew represents something more
than fancy. A wel-fed man is rare
ly an immoral man. A man whose
religion begins at his dinner table is
rarely drunkard as the Jews have
proved.
We have few Jewish drunkards be-
cause the wine at the Jewish table
is blessed and there are none who
would SO far transcend Jewish dis
cipline as to abuse a blessed article.
That diet has something to do with
both religion and morals can not be
doubted. The religion which is born
IN the kitchen, which is inculcated
at the board and which is made a
part of the daily life is sure to be
better religion than that which has
its habitat in the temple and works
only on Sunday or on spectacular oc-
casions.
"The place for religion and morals
alike is not in the temple but in the
home. Even the observance of re-
ligious practices are meaningless un-
less they have the backing of a pri-
vate observation the force of pri-
vate incubation"

The government engineers say that
the Kankakee is undoubtedly the most
crooked stream in the world. They
estimate the distance by river from
South Bend to Momence Rock to be
240 miles, or about three times the
straight line distance. The view is ex-
pressd by the government engineers
that the great tract of over 40o, 900

made tillable by private enterprise 1t

The Rev. Lyman Abott delivered an
address at Harvard University recent
" in which he condemned the too
prevalent idea that the measure of a
man is the amount of money he can
make. "If as a people we are to ac-
cebt this theory as true" .he said
"let us change the stars in our flag
to dollar marks, and Cur motto from
1n God we trust to Be successful
honestly if you can, but be success
full"
This is forcible language, but MIR
Abbott goes still further. Temper
ance orators" he declares, have SAID
that the saddest tragedy of life is thai
afforded by a bright young man go
ing forth into the world and blasting
his hopes by drunkenness. But II
seems to me that the picture OF a
young man leaving college with high
ideals OF manhood, entering business
and there learning to conform to busi
ness standards, losing conscience
and moral discernment, is tar sadde'
tragedy, and one as frequently seen
If not more frequently, than the 9th
