In the course of an interview pub
lished in The Telegraph Richard
Croker, referring to fammany Hall
and its alleged bad reputation, said:
1t is case of giving a dog a bad
name. If any one connected with
the organization, however insignifi-
cant his position, does anything dis
honorable Tammany is blamed. The
reformers never did anything for
New York The great bridges, the
elevated railroad, the public build
ings and everything are the work of
iammany. If there was corruption
why did not the district attorney
prosecute somebody?
'Tamany Hall has succeeded en-
firely on its merits. 1t is the most
democratic institution in the world.
If anything is wrong with it then
something is wrong with the people
themselves. 1t stands not only for
the poor man, but also for the for
eigner newly landed on American
shores. 1t believes, as against the
Republican party, that the foreigner
should recveive the benefits of the
American constitution as soon as
possible. 1t stands all around for
equal rights.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1906-11-01

The editor of the boilers organ
lays great stress on the expected de-
cision of the Democratic members of
the election commissioners. 1t is a
matter of cowardice on his part for
he knows he and his bolter friends
will be dealt with along lines of
right ard Justice and that is some
thing he don't understand. He is
fine specimen to talk to the election
commissioners of nerve. He has not
been in the county two years but
ne has been trying for year to die
tate the politics for the Republicans
and failing in that he opens his cat
fish mouth at the Democrats. He is
certainly the greatest fresh fish be-
fore the people and a wart on the
Republican party.

Married Fi6ty-Five Years.

| Nelson Mclaughlin and Susan Nj
How we're married by Elder Maxwell
minister of the Baptist church, then
organized here, October 30, 1851
They made their home in Plymouth
until 1860 when they removed to
Maxinkuckee lake, where Mr. Nc
Laughlin engaged in business and
served as Justice of the Peace several
years In 1872 they returned to Ply
mouth where they have resided ever
since. Mr.. Mclaughlin in is4s enlist
ed in regiment partly recruited here
for service in the Mexican war, and
served faithfully during that historic
conflict, returning to Plymouth when
peace was declared
Mrs. Mclaughlin was a sister of
the late Mrs. c. H. Reeve, and the
second daughter of Isaac How who
was clerk of the Marshall circuit
court from 1874 to 1s4S. Her brother,
the late. David How was sheriff of
Marshall county two terms, from
1866 to 1870. Mr.. and Mrs. McLaugh
lin have been the parents of eight
children, six of whom are dead. The
two living are Charles r. and Theo-
dore Mclaughlin, both residents and
respected business men of this city.
The event was fittingly celebrated by
the surviving children and their fam
lies. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Mclaughlin
have passed the three score and ten
mile post down the hill of life, and
all these years have lived quietly and
peacefully together, revered and re-
spected by all who have known them.
Truthfully may they sing
John Anderson my 10 John,
We've clam the hill thegither,
An monnie canny day John
We've had wi ane anither,
Now we maun totter down, John,
But hand in hand we'll go,
And sleep thegither at the foot,

Bertha Beshlers, who was injured
in the Aetna boarding house explo-
sion last week, is recovering in Chi
cago hospital, although it was neces-
sary to amputate one of her legs.
In the meantime Charles Packard
ard Fred Gerstrung, the two men in
whose room the explosion occurred,
are held in the Lake county Jail on
the charge of concealing explosives.
Packard still maintains his innocence
in connection with the Lake Shore
holdup, while Gerstrung answers all
charges with strict silence. The
officials, however, have not given up
hopes of soliciting further informa-
ton from them in regard to their
connection with attempted blackmail.

The Thirteenth congressional dis
trict estimate made by J. L. Moor
man, of Knox, the Republican chair
man, is treated as joke by the Dem
ocratic party managers. as well as by
Republicans not given to permitting
fancy running away with reason.
These people say that either Moor
man is poor political estimator, or
else he is far out of touch with the
real situation. An excuse is found
for Moorman in that the heat of the
battle being waged in his own BALI
wick may have had its effect in Undue

No discussion of building activities, of

and of improvements now progressing or

section of the city would be complete with
out some retrospective view of the impor-
tant engineering plans that involve the
elimination Of grade crossings and the re-

for the erection Of the new union station
was perfected. The question of improve

first suggested the propriety OF eliminating
grade crossings years ago. Their inconven-

Ownership and Operation"
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
II Is distinctly untrue that as one of our
contemporaries puts It. Chicago has dis
crlminated' between municipal ownership
and municipal operation of street railways
to the detrfment of the latter The fact is
that 10000 more votes were cast for mu-
nicipal operation in total vote 1900
larger than were cast for municipal owner
ship and for the issue OF the bonds required
to effect 1t. The figures are: For municipal
ownership. (Mneller certificates). 11o.UoO;
against, 106.6 68: majority. 1850. For mu-
nicipal operation I2O.911; against. 40;
majority, 10.651. It Is only the conservative
provision of the state law requiring 60 per
cent OF the votes to be cast for municipal
operation before municipal operation can
take effect that prevented the success Of
project opposed by almost the whole press
OF Chicago. But for this provision mu-
ntcipal operation would have had ma
jority OF some 1000 more than municipal
ownership. 90 that the ''discrimination"
disappears. or. rather. appears on the other
side.
And yet II = highly desirable that dis
criniuation should be exerctsed. We sup

at tfle corner of 9th and II streets SOUTH
west, which will be used as the Office Of
William A Wimsatt
On Mclean avenue between 81 and AZ
streets southwest John Miller has erected
row of six-room dwellings. about fifteen in
number. These will be placed on the mar
ket for SALE it is said. at an early day.
At 9th and NJ streets southwest a large
piece of unimproved ground has been re-
Gently purchased from the William r. Riley
estate and will be at once improved for the
purchasers by the erection of about twelve
modern six-room dwelling houses.
A. j. Sanford recently completed a three
story apartment house, with all modern
conveniences, at the corner of ~. and NJ
streets southwest, and John Waters has fin
lshed and rented a commodious house OF
twelve apartments at Maryland avenue be-
TWEEN Sd and AZ streets southwest
The Latterner estate has also constructed
three-story apartment house at 10th
street and Virginia avenue southwest
James Z. Brennan has built six two-stOry
apartment houses on LIST street between x
and l. streets southwest and T A T.
Judd Is completing a modern two-story
building. OF which the first floor is to DO
used as drug store and the second as an
apartment. This Improvement does away
with the old frame building which was a
landmark of the locality. Mr. McArIifr is
constructing five two-story, six-rOom houses
on 9th streets between NJ and \ streets
southwest, and an excellent specimen OF
bank construction is the building used as a
branch of the Home Savings Bank located
at 436 9TH street southwest.
A Demand for Property.
There is expert real estate testimony to
the fact of an unusual demand for property
in the southwest section. both for sale and
rent, and 1t Is difficult to find for rent a
good house with modern improvements
The statement is made that any desirable
property offered for sale at reasonable price
in the southwest finds ready purchasers. II
is also said that a foreclosure under a deed
of trust is a most unusual happening In this
part of the city.
The reason given for the stable values in
this section is the fact that there is no
longer room for expansion: the territory is
well occupied and progress mainly repre-
sents the substitution of better more use-
full and modern improvements for old In
convenient and faulty constructions.
A capitalist who has loaned a good deal
Of money on real estate security In this Sec
ton recently remarked that he had lived
through two panics in Washington and had
only made one foreclosure OF a deed OF trust
during that time. The comparative acces.
sfbility also of the southwest to the bust.
ness centers is claimed to make the seq
ton most desirable for residence purposes.
