FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w

II ever there is an excuse for lack OF
promptness in acknowledging kindness, IL
is TO be found in the excitement of we'd
presents are rarely sent till weeks after
the ceremony. and we have come TO ac-
cept the delay in spirit of leniency. But
an occasional bride wakes US from this
complacent mood by doing the unex-
pected and acknowledging her gifts as
soon as they are opened.
A recent bride is OF this small number.
and now she can enjoy her honeymoon
without the shadow OF a duty to mar its
sweetness. She had sister. and per-
haps this task was imposed upon her,
and if so. it is a suggestion TO other
brides. / never could see why a girl
should pass through the most important
ceremony Of her life bearing the stamp
Of weariness which weeks of preparation
are bound 10 leave upon the face, If
duties crowd thick and fast There are
keen eyes to note such things. and il a
bride happens to have passed her frsS
youth she looks every day of her age
Youth Is Independent In a way, because
even extreme weariness cannot rob il of
its entire freshness.
l have in mind a wedding where the
bride needed every toilet aid she could
command to offset the bridegroom's
youth. He had the advantage Of more
than ten years. and If she had spared
herself she might have passed muster
on account OF her small stature and Vi
vacity. She chose TO have an elaborate
trousseau. and these things, taken into
account with making over of her home
and no mother TO help her. left the bride
so tired and wan that she looked "A fright.
and was obliged TO cut short her we'd
ding trip.
She had such a quantity OF wedding
gifts that she had TO set about the task
of writing notes Of thanks before she
was rested, and 1 am not sure that she
has finished the work yet. and two
months have elapsed since her wedding
day. To me the labor involved in a pre-
tentious wedding is not worth while ii
il is TO leave the bride looking ugler than
ever before in her life and feeling that
further eXertion is beyond her strength,
and If | were the husband 10 take such
a wife, should feel like protesting loudly
and often. BETTY BRADEEN

italian Warship Excludes Visitors
Because of Thefts.

OF the scores of foreign warships
that have come TO Boston, the cruis-
er Varese, flagship of the duke of
Abruzzi, which arrived late Sundav,
is the first one from which the pub
lie has been excluded.
The duke was obliged to enter into
an arrangement whereby the privil.
ege of boarding the cruiser would be
denied to the public in general and
allowd only to a few, who will be
admitted by presentation of a pass
This is because of the previous ex-
periences of the duke with souvenir
hunters.
When the Varese was in Hampton
roads attending the jamestown expo
sition it was overrun with people who
thought themselves under no moral
obligation to keep their hands off
things that did not belong to them.
Their depredations became so num-
erous that the duke was considerably
wrought up. He made request that
the souvenirs thus taken should be
returned, but none came back. hence
the exclusive list of visitors to be
allowed TO board the cruiser at Bos-
ton.

Japan Says Only Agitators Cry War.

Reliable authorities and men OF
repute agree that the current stories
of preparations for war are canards,
pure and simple. Japan is Develop
ing frothy agitators and yellow jour
nails, which have about as much
weight here as similar men and pap
ers have in the United States. They
do not represent the real people.
Those competent to speak say that
collision between Japan and the
United States in connection with the
San Francisco troubles is wholly inn
probable. The Japanese government
trusts that America is taking every
means to deal with the present sit
uation in the most impartial manner.
| No recovery for individual losses
will be demanded OF the federal gov
eminent.
1t is firmly believed that the whole
matter will be amicably settled. But
frequent Japanese movements III
the future would affect Japanese Of
inion unfavorably, and the govern
ment therefore earnestly hopes that
America will take the most effective
means to prevent a recurrence of the
troubles. The authorities, for these
reasons, expressed themselves as
positive that the San Francisco ques-
ton would not affect the relations OF
Japan and America.
The Kokumin Shimbun, in an edi-
torial heading. Peace" says:
"Do not make the mistake OF
thinking that we want merely tenn
PORTING pace. The entente that
are being negotiated iclude co-opera-
ton with America and an approach
ment with Germany. They do not
formulate arrangements as to inter-
national relations from the stand
point of Japan alone, but are for the
purpose of assuring peace through
out the far east and the world at
large. We want peace in comnon
with other countries and at the same
time advancement of national
strength by productive activity.
Japan's desire to deal with far east
ern questions in concert and agree
| ment with the powers must not be
misunderstood as due to lack of pow
err or shrinking from responsibility.
We do this, not for the purpose of
| fraternizing with or harming other
powers, but from a heartfelt desire
to preserve peace in the far east and
the whole world. Peace is equally
necessary to Japan, America, Ger
! many, France and Russia. He who
says that England contemplates rails
ing a war cloud in a corner of the
far East is either a fool or mad, and
those who run after madmen are
themselves, mad.

The Proposed Electric Light Fran
chise and Contract.

The Plymouth Independent. of last
evening states that the Tribune has
"slandered" the council for its action
toward the proposed "Snoeberger
franchise Well it makes no differ
ence what he calls it, it is the truth
plainly stated nevertheless.
When the franchise is published il
will be plainly seen that it is .
'Snoeberger franchise" pure anu
simple 1t will be seen that the pri-
vate users of electric light will have
to pay more for their lights. 1t will
also be seen that the City of Ply
mouth will have to pay more for its
lights, and that the franchise is
drawn more in the interest OF Mr.
Snoeberger than in the interest OF
Plymouth and her taxpayers.
| We stated that four-fifths of the
council ignored the prayer of the 124
taxpayers Of Plymouth. This they
did. If it was sentiment that should
govern the council there was enough
Expressed in the petition to end the
matter for some time to come.
1t is unjust and unfair to the Ply
mouth Gas Plant, after allowing
them to expend thousands of dollars
| in putting in a plant in Plymouth
| to grant Snoeberger a new contract
without waiting for them 70 demon
strate the efficiency of gas light, and
to allow them to enter into COM
| petition. if possible with lighting our
streets.
What is the necessity OF this fran
chise at this time?
We dare say that at least ''one'
member of the city council stands
lready at all times TO grant Mr.. Snoe-
berger almost any kind of franchise
that he may desire.
We dare say there is at least "one'
councilman who is all ways on the
fence" with one hand on either side
We dare say there is one council
man who stands ready at all times 10
protect the city from any kind OF a
graft franchise We dare say there
is councilman who stands ready
and willing to protect the rights oil
the private consumers of electric
lighting as we'll as the taxpayers
who may be interested in the city

The Plymouth Tribune will Oppose
the granting of this franchise in it,

ling of any franchise at the presen
thine unless competitive bids are ask

TAFT WILL QUIT RACE.
No Chance For Presidency.

There is a report in circulation at
Washington, that Secretary Taft will
withdraw from the presidential race
after his Western trip. His friends
are not encouraged by recent devel-
opments. The reasons assigned for
the secretary's Encouragement in
slude that of poor health Ills col
lapse in Minnesota the other day
was no great surprise to those who
have known that his health has suf-
fered as a result of determined eff
forts to reduce his weight
Secretary Taft, it is said, never
had much inclination for big polit-
ical fight. He was willing be the
administration candidate, but the
fight in Ohio and the discovery that
Roosevelt's supporters largely OPP
posed the President designing his
own successor discouraged him. The
prospects especially OF the long and
bitter contest in Ohio are said to
have been viewed with anything but
satisfaction by Mr. Taft. Announce
merits of the last forty-eight hours
end the possibility of compromise
and harmony, and Foraker goes to
Ohio today avowedTy prepared to
force the fighting for Ohio's delega-
A. l.. Il - IL
Taft will not secure better than d.
vided support of his home state.
The fact most disconcerting tc
Taft's friends, who lately have beer
decidedly in the dumps, is that where
ever anything is started in the way o.
organizing Taft strength the politi.
clans reply shouting for Roosevelt
and Taft's movement is drowned
Taft has fight in his home State
the growing Roosevelt movement
"Favorite Son" movements are hos
tile by reason of the feeling that he
is the administrators favorite.
Reports agree that the secretary:
Western trip has been of small ad
vantage. The Iowa management Of
his movement was put in the hand;
of enemy of Cummins. which ha:
caused the latter to declare uneuivq
ocally for Roosevelt, which mean.
Cuminins will control the delegation
from that state. In South Dakota
and Wisconsin bad political moves
started the Taft enterprise in the
wrong direction.

Land Convention Session at Denver

Denver, June 19.-Called together
for discussion of public land ques-
tions with a view to formulating a
policy and urging legislation in ac-
cordarce Herewith, nearly 1000 rep
resentative citizens representing all
the transmissouri states met in con-
vention at the Broadway Theater in
Denver, Tuesday From Washington
have come James r. Garfield, Secre-
tary of the Interior; Clifford Pinchot,
chief of the Forestry Department; F.
H. Newell, head of the reclamation
service, and r. A. Ballinger, Com
missioner of the General Land OF
fee, representing President Roose-
welt, and prepared to give all pos.
sible information as to the policies
of the administration regarding the
control and regulation ftfe public
lands.
The badge worn by the Colorado
delegates was designed to furnish
the keynote to the convention. 1t is
inscribed as follows: Public lands
were intended for home builders. We
oppose interference by Government
bureaus under autocratic rules and
regulations"
United States Senator Carter, of
Montana, who was chosen as tenn
porary chairman in caucus, made the
following statement before the con-
vention assembled, regarding the po-
sition of President Roosevelt on the
public land questions:
"The President is irrevocably op-
posed, it seems, to the continuance
of the. free and unregulated range,
but is not absolutely committed to
any particular scheme for the accom-
plishment of this purpose. That is
what he informed me. The policy,
as am informed by him, is the reg
ulation of the public ranges OF the
West by the government.
"The President added that if it
was found there were any harsh
rules in force in the administration
of the policies these harsh rules, moi
the policies, would be modified"

Consumption: This disease caused

TO ask the question, when will people
tire OF having these preventable dis
eases and invoke the aid of sanitary
science to Danish them?

Disease and Death in Indiana in May.

The monthly bulletin of the State
board of health reports in regard to
disease and death in Indiana in May
as follows:
The death rate in May this year is
slightly higher than in the same
month last year, the figures being
respectively 12.6 and 11.9 per 1000.
Measles was reported as the most
prevalent disease In the correspond
irgs month last year rheumatism was
reported as the most prevalent fol-
lowed by tonsilitis and bronchitis.
The order of prevalence for May
was followed: Measles, rheumatism
bronchitis, tonsilitis, influenza, pneu-
MONA, typhoid fever (enteric), scar
let fever. diarrhoea, intermittent few
err, diphtheria and membranous
Group, smallpox, pleuritis, whooping
cough, erysipelas, inflammation OF
bowels, cholera morbus, puerperal
fever, typho-malarial fever, dysen-
terry, cerebro-spinal meningitis, chol-
era infantum.
There were 331 deaths from pneu-
monia as compared with 213 in the
corresponding month last year. In
fuenza was more prevalent, 43 deaths
being recorded as compared with IA
in the corresponding month last year
The deaths under one year numbered
sos or 1874 per cent of the total. The
deaths 65 years of age and over mum
bered $40 or 1913 per cent of the to-
tai These are increases as compar-
ed with the same month last year
The cities, population 1,032,376, re-
port 1924 deaths, rate ISL. This is
3.5 higher than the average death
rate for the whole state The cities
show a higher death rate than the
average for the whole state for con-
scralet fever, measles, whooping
cough, pneumonia, diarrhoeal dis
| eases, cerebro-spinal meningitis, in
| fluenza, puerperal fever, cancer and
violence. The country population L.
666, 1873, reports 1868 deaths, rate Ill.
This is is lower than the average for
the whole state. In no instance since
statistics have been kept has the
country shown a higher death rate
than the cities.
Smallpox: 149 cases were reported
from % counties with one death. In
the corresponding month last year
112 cases in II counties with no
deaths. We have therefore to record
an increase in smallpox. Physicians
still fail to recognize smallpox in
mild form and the people still refuse
to vaccinate These are two facts
which are not at all to the credit OF
the state of Indiana The counties

Cutting Away Court House Pillars.

Birds are cutting away the pillars
of the Kosciusko county court house
which has long been regarded as
one of the most handsome county
capital buildings in the State. The
exterior is constructed of lime stone
and for many months sarrows and
pigeons have been pecking into the
stone for gravel. In consequence
many of the pillars on the second and
third floors have been more than half
eaten away. A similar condition is
found on the first story. Several
hundred pigeons have made their
home in the belfry for years The
county commissioners will take some
action at the next regular meeting to
eliminate the danger of portions OF
the building falling down.
