The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1906-11-22

In dismissing a battalion Of colored
troops from the army in disgrace Presi-
dent Roosevelt has taken pains to
make his reasons appear with the
greatest explicitness. Private soldiers
of this battalion had been guilty Of
rioting at Brownsville, Texas, their fell
lows would give no aid in the identi-
fication of the guilty men, and disci-
pline required therefore, after three
months delay, that the entire battalion
be punished
Nevertheless, the enemies Of the ne
groes will strive to make it appear that
race feeling entered into the Presi-
dents act, and very possibly many ne
the falseh0od Is true.
1t should be the duty of leaders of
the negroes to make ii perfectly clear
to their race that the President acted
in this case as he would have acted
against a battalion of white soldiers
similarly guilty, and that if no such
radical order has ever before been is
sued from army headquarters it is be-
cause such open defiance has not hith-
erto been seen.-Chicago Record Her.

Ample Cause for Thanksgiving.
The National Thanksgiving Day has
been named by presidential proclama-
ton, and ample cause for giving thanks
is stated:
Yet another year of widespread
wcll-being has passed. Never before
in our history, or in the history of
any other nation, has people enjoyed
more Astounding material prosperity
than is ours; prosperity so general
that it should arouse in us no spirit
of reckless pride, and, least of all, a
spirit Of needless disregard of our re-
sponsibilitles but rather sober sense
of our many blessings, and a resolute
purpose, under Providence, not to for
felt them by any action of our own
spoken. Pride is not reckless that
glories in splendid achievement. All
may be properly proud of what has
been accomplished in the past nire
years of protection prosperity. Heed
less disregard of responsibilities it
would be IL we were to forget the
chief cause of that prosperity. To for
felt our many 'essings by destroying
their source would be an act Of SUI
preme folly.

Some Unexpected Happenings.

The local stock market has been treat
ed TO some surprises during the past
week, and amid the general sense Of
duilness the activity which struck two or
three Of the stocks. giving TO two of
them a strong upward tendency. while
in the case Of the other. the trend was
downward, has created considera bic
discussion and many efforts made to
find good and sufficient reasons for such
action They were the more surprising
in view OF the fact that any excess Of
activity WAS not looked for at this time
In fact, as far as the stocks Of the pub
lie utilities, such as railroads and gas
companies, were con perned It was
thought best not 10 CRATE any undue
agitation until our dear friends in the
big building on the hill have departed.
But the stock market is at all times
one Of the most unaccountable things to
attempt to explain. Early in the week
a prominent broker who has long been
identified with the movements OF Wash
ington Railway. and whohas been late
~ accounted somewhat bearish in his
proclivities, had apparently assumed a
change Of heart and suddenly became
aggressively bullish in his desires for
higher prices. 1t was but natural then
that. as he wanted prices TO go up, they
should go that way, as he stood ready
TO take any and all the stock that might
be for sale. and the price was readily car
ried up good two points. The dearth
OF stock for sale was shown in the lin
tied amount OF sales, which barely
reached 1000 shares.
Per contra the trading in Capital Trac-
ton suddenly assumed an acute phase.
and rather more stock came upon the
market than has been the case fer a
long time, with the result that prices
crumbled away and the brokers we're
curious to know what it all meant. This
stock is so strongly held that a loss Of
n few points is a matter for serious dis
cussion. And all this. TOO. in the face
of the knowledge that the month Of May
just passed had been the biggest in re-
ceipts in the history OF the company.
A squirt of activity in the stock of the
Second National Bank and the strcng
buying around 155 was taken to indicate
that the new directors had taken hold
in good earnest. and believed the value
Of the stock was not properly represent
ed BY the figures that had prevailed on
the stock exchange list and wanted TO
see them higher.

CHICAGO. June 1s.-John Alexander
Dowle today swore under oath IN Judge
Lands court that he is and always has

The reply caused a sensation in the
court room. crowded with Zionists and
spectators.
1t was an amendment to his tes4i-
mony OF yesterday. when he claimed
only to be acting in the spirit of

Dowie was for the Rfth time the star
witness in the hearing Of the Zion Citv
controversy. He seemed refreshed
despite his long stay on the stand yes
terday. He nodded pleasantly 10 his
friends as he was wheeled into the
court room.
Dowie made absolute claim as the
owner and holder Of the legal tttls 70
all Zion City property. Attorney Haley
told the court that Dowie does claim
the property and Dowie testified that
be considers all the property his.
Another DEVELOPMENT OF the session
was an order from Judge Lands direct

He and his mother have possession OF

with prices making a maximum advance
of four to six points on some Of the next
crop options. under the lead of October

southern Texas, where rain has been
badly needed for over week. Bear
traders fought the Improvement In the
market, but the buying today was of
so much better class that It took the
market beyond their immediate control,
and prices were closed firm within
about two points Of the top quotations.
July. however. was something OF a lag
gard here. as the July option in no way
shows signs Of liquidation.
Trading here was OF only moderate
proportions, with probably less than IS
900 bales dealt in during the short ses-
