Bible Published in 412 Languages

Interesting details of the prog
ress made by the bible among saw
age heather tribes all over the
world are provided in the annual
report OF the British and Foreign
Bible society OF London.
The society has published the
scriptures, or portions OF them, in
no fewer than 412 languages, and
is always adding to the number.
During the past year sections oil
the bible have been printed in
l.engua, a language spoken by the
Indians OF the Paraguayan Cha
co; in Lu-Nyankole, the tongue OF
tribe inhabitating the region
southwest of Uganda, and in Hin
du-S indhi.a dialect current among
the Hindu inhabitants of Sindh.
During the year 5,6SS,381 vol
umes have been issued by the So
ciety, including 64,247 complete
bibles, 1865 new testaments
and 3,6S7,569 portions of the
scriptures. These volumes are
distributed among the natives OF
many various wild countries by
an army of colporteurs, who fire.
quently meet with strange and ex-
citing adventures, some of which
are narrated in the society'sr re-
port.

Hughes on Bank Deposits.

In his speech at Indianapolis
Tuesday Governor Hughes rec
ognized one point in connection
with guarantee OF bank deposits
which has been dwelt upon in
these columns. This is that any
such fund would either have to be
withdrawn from investment and
locked up where it would be in
stantly available for depositors of
failed banks, or either it would
have to be invested in some form
of securities which must be sold
for cash in The money market for
what they will bring, like all
other securities whatever, in a
time of stress.
Taking New York as an illus
tration, Mr.. Hughes shows that
Mr.. Bryan's bank deposit law
would have been withdrawn
some thing like $44,OO0,OOO from
circulation, thus decreasing the
banking power of the state and
the banking facilities of the peo-
pie by that amount, whereas it
would have been needed in the re-
cent bank failures on Manhattan
Island by only the negligible sum
Of $4,000.

Fl. HARRISON
MAJOR GEORGE PENROSE
ASKS UNCLE SAM FOR
4 NEW BUILDINGS
CAMP CONTINUES
ANOTHER
WEEK.

Maj. George H. Penrose, chief
quartermaster on Brig. Gen. w.
II. Carriers staff, has recommend
ell to the government that four
new buildings be erected at the
camp of instruction, Fl. Benjamin
Harrison, ~as soon as is possible
Although the maneuver season
will continue for another week,
Maj. Penrose-has about whipped
his plans for breaking camp into
final shape. He has been at work
on the proposition for some time
and in considering the matter of
storing property, the need of the
new structures became obvious.
According to the. present plans
four and possibly five large ware
houses will be erected within the
next month. During this maneu-
yer season an increased amount
of equipment was used and the
quartermaster has no place for its
protection. His idea is to put up
the modern warehouses in differ
ent parts OF the reservation where
loading and unloading would be
most convenient.
The ninety immense incinera-
tors, where refuse is burned in
keeping a perfect sanitary condi-
ton, were first established at the
camp this year. They cost about
$4,000 and will alone require an
enormous amount of floor space
in a storage. The fifteen miles OF
water service that was a great
pleasure to the soldiers this sea-
SON will also receive attention.
THE pipe will all be taken up, dis,
iointed and stored away. The
hundreds OF tents that have been
used by the 1 800 regulars during
the maneuvers will also be placed
in shelter after being inspected
and checked.
In addition the quartermaster
will have hundreds of minor
things to care for and in his opin-
ion the new buildings are abso-
lutely necessary. Maj. Penrose
will have an immense task on
hand in breaking camp and will
be compelled to remain in his of
fee at least n month after all the
other officers leave the camp of
instructions.

Pooling Days are Past.

The day for fooling the people
has become a part of the past.
The great mass of voters today
do their own reading and think
ing and by keeping themselves
informed on the causes and eff
fects of governmental policies
have placed themselves in posi-
ton to decide intelligently upon
their course of action. They have
taken politics to their homes and
analysed and digested it. They
have studied the .elation Of pub
nc policies to their personal well
fare and happiness and they have
learned that there is something
in the right of suffrage besides
keeping certain individuals or
sets of individuals in office. The
spoils of politics have lost their
lustre with the average voter. He
is now less interested in what the
officeholder is going to get out of
office than in what the officehold-
er is going to do in office. The
man who does things from the
high motive OF bringing benefit to
the whole people is wanted. The
man who seeks preferment from
any other motive need not apply.

the end they have made the
drinking habit unpopular not on
ly in the dry wards, and town

RECENT PURGING
CLEANS POLITICS
ELIMINATION OF CORRUP
TON LIKE DUPONTS
AND FOR A K E IS
MEANS PURIFICA-
TON PROCESS
is ON.

There is bright side to the
ugly development of politics. The
Foraker, Haskell and DUPONT
cases are not so much evidences
OF bad politics as they are evlden-
ces OF good politics.
Almost every comment on these
recent happenings and reveal
tons that have come to attention
have been either defense or at
tack. Both of these sides of the
proposition are ugly and hopeless.
The bright side of the proposition
is this That, where in former
years it was possible for Foraker
and DUPONT to boss the political
game, now, it is impossible. 1t
all tends to show that the game
OF politics is in a state OF purltl-
cation; and, while we give so
much attention to the evils and
the gloom, lets take look occa-
sionally at the bright side.
To dwell upon the disagreeable
is dangerous to ourselves and
those with whom we come in con-
tact. One of the greatest think
ers in Indiana, and man recog-
nized in a broader field as lecturer
and writer, w. II. Sanders. said
that the great evil OF today IS
within, by the people, against the
citadel of their own faith. In
c,i.er words, he meant that, wh'l>
we are purifying politics, and
making the government better, II
will be well to remember that al
is not bad. 1t will be we'll to
remember that the expulsion OF
questionable characters from the
machinery that makes govern
ment is a purifying process. II
should be kept in mind that there
never was a time when politics
were as pure as today, because
there never was time when we
had so good a chance to get rid oil
what is bad.
This does not mean, however
that we should forget vigilance
in such matters. We ought tc
seek out and exclude the odious
elements but we should not dc
this for the love of undertaking
We should do it for the love oil
betterment. And we should re-
member that, while we have
found so much that is bad, there
is yet a great deal left that Is
good; and that this good is only
the better because it has been
separated from the bad.
independence at the ballot boz
has made this possible. The peo-
pie have demanded the purifying
and they are getting it. They
should keep it up in township
town, city, county, state and ma.
ton. And. while it is being done
let us remember that the purpose
is for good, and that, even at its
worst, the government we have
our own Uncle Sam, is the best
in the world. Let our thoughts
our actions, our independence If
voting, be 1aracterized by this
sentiment: That it is not that we
believe our government is so bao
as a whole, but that we would
make it better.

"our only desire is to become as
one, that the world permit our
two yearning hearts to throb in
unison" Mrs. CLAUDIA Whitesell,
the fair deputy-clerk, threw up
her pretty hands and exclaimed
II can do nothing for you. Badly
as | hate to be the instrument OF
keeping two young souls apant, ]
must do my duty cannot
grant you a marriage license"
And thus in despair stood the
young oouple,-blessed with
youth, beauty and riches, all to
no avail, they did not possess the
requirements needed to secure
the horrible. marriage license
they were poorer than the poor
est swineherder. Fred H. Myers
the business-like treasurer of
Marshall county explained the af-
fair. The couple had come all the
way from New Yo'k City. Four
times, at four different places had
they attempted to secure a mar
riage license, that they might be-
come man and wife Four times
they failed. And why did they
fail? Simple enough. for two
reasons. Firstly the girl was too
young and had no relative to
vouch for her, and secondly she
admitted she was not a resident.
File upon her pride. "She would
not be classed as a Marshall
county farmer" and so was gent
ly but firmly refused her mar
rying permit
Fred H. Myers (the same men,
toned above) CLEANED by person
al interview the fact that the
couple was from NewYork. "He"
was factory inspector, and she"
was an actress, if you please.
Papa and mamma had objected to
their marriage and they had elop-
ed. Mr.. Myers said that the
Young lady was the most beauti-
full specimen of womanhood he
had ever seen. Upon the advise
of that county officer the young
couple with determined faces, set
out for good old St. Joe (Mich.)
where they were assured a mar
riage license could be secured
with ease.

true and maybe not, our data was
