Road Supervisors.

Newspapers are recalling the
fact that John Tyler, looked
upon the office of road supervisor
as of sufficient Importance to JUS
tify him in accepting it even after
he had been president of the
United States. 1t is an office that
naturally commands less consid-
Grafton than it deserves although
its Importance is today realized
more than ever. Good roads are
necessary. To have them re-
quires gumption and an honest
purpose, just as the same quail
ties are required in every other
Office. Not everybody is quail
fed for the Office; many persons
are. The choice of course should
always be made from the latter
class and this fact is going to
command more attention in Indi-
ana this time than ever before.
Every voter should go to the
polls in his road district, Dec. II,
and help elect good road super
visor regardless of party or
friendship.

Amenable to the Law.

Judge Bernetha overruled the
motion to quash the indictment
returned by the October grand
Jury against Clay w. Metsker,
editor of the Plymouth Demo-
crat and the case will be tried
Friday of this week.
Mr.. Metsker in his avaricious-
ness for the almighty dollar, did
everything in his power to grasp
the coin out of the county, town
ship and city treasures, without
any regard for honor or justice.
He got so brazen that he began
to believe that any amount or,
any claim that he presented,
would not be questioned.
In the Leavenworth penitenti-
ary there are II bankers, Z from
Indiana, three from this, the
Thirteenth Congressional dis
trict. The famous Walter Brown
with Republican congressman
back of him could not escape the
tolls of justice and while this
storm OF reform is sweeping over
the country it may'not be as easy
for MIR. Metsker to show the jury
that is to try his case that his
claim against the county was
lust and, true SO help him God,
as he thinks.

Germs in the Currency?

A thief entered the home of
Frank Smith, at Elwood, Ind,
and stole a So bill from his trous-
ers pocket. Smith is a smallpox
patient and under quarantine.
There was a watch dog in the
same room, but the animal was
found in a stupor, having either
been drugged or mesmerized.
Merchants are alarmed because
of the theft. fearing that the bill
will spread the contagion, and all
bills of that denomination now
received in that city, are being
fumigated.
James Knolts, who had been
travelling with dog and pony
show, came to Elwood locked in
Car by himself and broken out
with smallpox. He is unable to
say where he caugh the contag-
ion and he hurried unassisted to
the detention hospital, where he
was placed under treatment.

The Japanese Ambassador.

1t was announced Tuesday
that the Japanese ambassador
had been recalled because he had
incurred the displeasure of his
government. Officially he is 60
ing home to report on the Amer
lean attitude toward the Japan
csc. His return has excited in
terest, and may be really import
ant, because it is coincident with
the sailing of the American fleet
to the Pacific. He leaves after a
period of irritating negotiation
between the Japanese and Amer
lean governments, and after a
certain amount of excitement in
Japan and in the United States
about the exclusion of Japanese
from this country.
Although the dispatch from
Washington says that his gov
eminent is not satisfied with
Viscount Aoki's service in this
country, it does not make it
wholly clear how he has failed in
the performance of his mission.
The dispatches indicate that the
Japanese think he has been too
sympathetic with the American
attitude and too SOLICITORS about
the friendly attitude of our gov
eminent toward his country. But
it may we'll be that the foreign
office at Toxic feels that he has
failed to take advantage of his
opportunity to represent Japan
csc sentiment in this country and
to influence American public
opinion.
During the last few years there
has developed a new school of
diplomacy. Ambassadors from
this country abroad and from
foreign countries to Washington
have not only represented their
governments at the departments
which have to deal with foreign
affairs, but have been ambassa-
doris from one people to another.
1t has been recognized that
public opinion plays great part
in shaping the foreign policy of
any government, and especially
in a democraticN country like the
United States. The suggestion
that Baron Kaneko or Baron
Ishii might succeed the present
ambassador indicates that the
Japanese think of replacing him
by a younger man, familiar with
the western point of view, and
capable not only of representing
his government at the state de-
partment but of addressing him

p, 1907, he was on Laporte

east, passed the saloon. Grant
Hanes rushed from the saloon

ing Nov I've got you, you son
of = and I'm going to kill
you struck at Cross and cut his
left hand. Jacoby then wrenched
the knife away from Hanes, but
the couple again mixed, in the
When grocery doorway. Wit
ness also stated that he took Lib
erty Cross to a surgeon, where

dressed, and that the coat worn
by Cross was cut in a couple of
places. Here, both the overcoat
and frock coat worn by Cross,
were submitted by the states at

honest or fair the judges may be,
the trick will be done by stuffing
the ballot box. Metsker has a
printing press and it costs him
rs per cent less for the tickets
than any of the other merchants
and he can place as many votes
in the box as he pleases anu who
will be the wiser?

medal of the British Humane society,
which she was asked &c accept after

French Sailors Use pruos.

The extent TO which the narcotic
habit prevails in the French navy was
illustrated few days ago by the pro-

seamen of ordinary rating, who were
charged with considerable number
of robberies. All the men were vic
tins of opium or the the ether habit,
or both combined, and were in the
habit of bemuddling themselves daily
with these drugs and the robberies
had been committed to crafty their
passion. Severe sentences were
passed
