TEST IS ON.
Big Water Rights Case May be
Settled as Re-
suit.

Engineers interested in the big
water rights case, which has
been on trial for five weeks in
the South Bend superior court.
are making a special survey of
the St. Joseph river between the
South. Bend and Mishawaka
dams under. the supervision of
Judge VanFleet for the purpose
OF determining some points now
at issue in the case.
This important matter was de-
cided at yesterdays session OF
the court. An engineer for each
side is in the survey and Judge
VanFleet will act as referee of
all disputes that may arise. 1t is
planned to lower the water two
feet at the South Bend dam for
the tests to determine what eff
feet this will have on the races
at the Mishawaka dam. While
the survey and measurements
are being made the various man.
ufacturing concerns will leave
the water as nearly as possible
at a natural state.
This water test will be COM
pleted by Monday and may set
tie the case. If it does not the
trial NAV take two weeks more.

INDIANA CORN.
Quality and Quantity are Both
Good.-Careful and Sure
Methods.

Indiana and her sitter states in
the Ohio valley have saved the
day in this years corn circles ac-
cording to the government crop
report issued Monday. An even
forty bushels to the acre is cred
tied to the old HGosieI common
wealth, and this is away above
any other state except Ohio
which creeps dangerously close
with 39.5 bushels average. In
quality of yield Indiana too wins
high laurels. The estimated con-
dition of corn November l in the
state is 81. Two states record 90
South Dakota and Minnesota
neither of which are great corn
states. But one other state
reaches a quality mark over 80
and that is another state not not
ed for its corn, Georgia. When
the grand average for the United
States is 81, and the average
yield only 25.4 bushels, it can be
seen how far Indiana has gone in
lifting the total average for the
country
About the next important fea-
ture OF the report for Indiana
farmers to notice is that this
years corn crop is second only
to that of 1906. when a new re-
cord for this country was set.
The yield then was 1927 100000
bushels. This year is estimated at
2.167 100000 bushels almost 90
100000 bushels over the final re-
port of last year. OF this ninety
nine million increase Indiana
alone has contributed sixty mil
lions over last years crop. Sure
ly this is enough TO turn the
head OF the most modest Hoosier
farmer. Part of this wonderful
record set by Indiana has been
due to greatly increased acreage,
but not altogether, for the care
full and sure methods of the In
diana farmer must receive a large
share of the credit. The figures
for Indiana this year and last
are: 1909. 100000 bushels
1908. 1885, 900 bushels. The
yield per acre jumped from 30.3
bushels to even 40 bushels.

]. S. Martin City Health Officer
of Plymouth Explains Accept
ed Reasons for Development
that Disease.
PREVENTION is THE
WEAPON EITHER WAY
Prevalence of the Disease in Au-
tunn is Northumberland be
Caught Direct From an AT
f1icted Person.

There have been many opin-
ions advanced as to the origin of
the specific poison of typhoid fe
yer and how the typhoid bacillus
enters the human system, all OF
which are plausible and of great
interest to the medical fraternity,
but for the information of health
officers and the people, two dis
tinct views have been universally
accepted and entertained, both
OF which have been abundantly
proven to be correct and all that
is sufficient for our instruction
and consideration. One of these
views is, that the poison is speci-
fic in its nature, and derived only
from some pre-existing case of
the disease; the other, that, while
usually produced in a person suf-
fering from the fever, it may also
be generated anew by the decom-
position of sewage and animal
filth. Fortunately. the practical
issues of both theories are the
same, namely, that the great pre-
ventive measure is the prompt re-
moval of fecal matters, both ami
NAL and human. from barnyards
and privy vaults alike. 1t is ac-
cepted on all hands by the high
est authorities, both medical and
sanitary. at the present day, that
the typhoid poison is reproduced
in the system during the fever,
and that its exclusive outlet is
the intestinal discharges. There
is no evidence at all, that it is
conveyed by the breath, the per-
spiration. or the urinary secre-
tons. hence there is no danger of
taking the disease by simply
breathing the air when in room
where typhoid pa+ient lies, but
the infection is ever present in
the feces. These lave not, at e
moment of their passage, their
| full virulence, but requires for its
| full develoment, a certain period
of time, under certain conditions
These conditions that intensity
the poison, are a concentration
of the infested discharge, seclu-
sion from the open air, warmth,
liquihaction and fermentation.
This increase by fermentation OF
focal matter explains lie autumn
nal prevalence of tyhopid fever.

wonderful sight to me. The
roads out here are fine, better
than any pavement. they are

traffic of the numerous heavy

GOVERNORS
CHURCH SPEECH
BOURBON MINISTER SAYS
GIVE THE CHURCH
TIME TO ACHIEVE"
Rev. John F. Bailey Pastor OF
M. E. Church at East Town
Writes Concerning Attack

To the Plymouth Tribune:
note in the Tribune OF No
vember 4 an article with the cap
ton: Where Do They Get Their
Booze which seems to be a
brief OF the sermon preached BY
Rev. Wareing. | feel that some
OF the statements found therein
should not go unchallenged. |
ann somewhat surprised that
man who has been raised to such
a responsible position as Cover
nor, should make statements SO
palpably at variance with the
facts as those quoted by my
Brother Minister. | am some
what surprised that the article
which purports to be a report,
and for whose unquoted language
your paper assumes responsible
ity, this language should appear.
Among the many things which
ne said two or three points are
worth hearing again.
When the Governor used that
sentence beginning, why when
the average man joins the
church he may have been telling
all that he received. But | am
loalthe to believe that even the
one church to which the Cover
nor belongs has such narrow
sphere OF uSefulness-I am sure
that the great Presbyterian
church should never be scandaliz-
ed in such a shameful, and shall |
say, ignorant way?
When the Christian church
produces such sterling character
as the Governors pastor attrib-
utes to him during his contest
for his present llonors, surely it
does more than allow him to
help pay the preacher | just now
reflect that it may elevate some
men much to help support the
Gospel. Pessimism ts the an
nouncement OF a narrow vision
bounded by ignorance. Every
calamity bowler is himself the
only calamity connected with his
bowling. The arraignment OF the
church is 50 palpably untrue that
there is no danger that any one
who knows much about the work
of the church will be misled by
it. But when it is said OF it by
a minister that''It IS SO near right
that it hurts to have it said |
feel some one should object 1t
does not hurt much to have it
said by Mr.. Marshal, but it is ser
ious when sanctioned by a
preacher. If | felt it true would
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1909-11-18

never announce its truth to
congregation to which | had Civ
en- more than year of my time.
| would have made things better
than that or | would have left
the city at the end OF my first
year. | am sure that Every
young pastor who has rich blood
in his veins" should be careful
not to lose his head and rush into
the lime light whenever a meg
oplone is sounded on the street
We think it was very unbecom-
ing even the Governor to make
such an arraignment when the
church had builded the platform
from which he was haranguing
1t is little becoming son to spit
in the face OF the mother that
bore him. 1t is little becoming
a minister to berate the church
that has brought him from a life
OF sin to the exalted position of
leadership. Had not SO many
preachers with more zeal than
knowledge fallen into the habit
of following with sanction the
unwarranted statements of those
who would destroy us. the
Church would have been much
stronger than She now is. If
prominent laymen and young
preachers would quit their
knocking and get busy doing
something then we would accom-
plish more. Church weakness as
we'll as business calamities too
often comes from advertising un-
duly and often untrulv the weak
nesses instead of making busy
doing something. knockers
and calamity howlers are among
the most grevious of our enemies.
7 believe in the Church. She has
done more than all other organ
izations for the uplift of men.
She has not yet done enough,
give her time and she will achieve
in spite of the inner foibles.

RAILROADS & COMMERCE
In 20 Years United States Has
Built More Railroads Than
England and France.

Our railroad trackage--main
track and sidings-is $4,000
miles in length and this would
gihtle the equator fourteen times.
In twenty years we have built
more railroad mileage than Great
Britain and France Combined in
fifty years. Two-hfths of the
worlds entire railroad trackage
is laid down in Uncle Sans ter
ritory. We have more than FIVE
times the allotment of railroad
mileage in Europe for each ten
thousand inhabitants, the figures
being: Twenty-seven miles in
the United States; five miles in
Europe. Moreover our railroad
capitalization a mile OF railroad
is less than one-fourth of that
of Great Britain on the same ba-
sis.
We are moving freight at the
rate of a billion gross tons year
and TO do this we employ nearly
two million and half freight
cars, and nearly fifty thousand
locomotives. We import about 19
million gross tons of merchan-
disc yearly, and export about
ifty-two million gross tons. Our
foreign trade shows return OF
So, 000, 900, 900, and our domestic
trade one of $21, O0O, 900, 900 an
nualiy. One-half of the worlds
ocean commerce moves along
north Atlantic routes, and for
the greater part of it our foreign
trading is responsible. At this
its volume is a drop in the bucket
as against the great trunk-line
tonnage in this country.

WRITES FROM DAKOTA
Harold North Receives Many
Surprises in the Wheat Dis
trict Near Glendale,

The following communication
from Harold, the sixteen year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. \. c. North

tend my heartfelt thanks.
Since my advent into Dakota

which have been highly instruc-

For nearly three months, | lived

wish to meet They were men OF
the rawest type, whose habits
are all bad, consisting mostly OF
drinking gambling, etc. The
longer | lived with these fellows
the more I desired to get away,
but my life with them was not
without its remuneration. 1t
was quite an experience to be
near them and hear their views
on life. Out of the whole bunch
there was not one but what be-
lieved there was some higher
power than man, and they
thought that this power might as
we'll be named God as any other
name. That is all the farther

mind rest on what is after death.
Trey don't care. If they do think
of it they say they got the blues
and go get a drink. They have
no ambition and seem TO be liv-
ing too easy life to turn away.
All they think OF is to earn lit

HEPBURN IS SAFE.

Next Tuesday at noon the two houses
of the Idaho legislature will vote separate
" for United States Senator and there is
now little doubt but what the vote of every
republican in both branches will be cast for
Hon. W. B. Hepburn, which means his re-
election by large majority. This will be
gratifying to very large majority of the
republicans of the state, and many of other
political faiths will not be sorry that Idaho's
present high standing in the United States
senate is to be maintained. 1t is true.
Senator Hepburn is not in accord, on all
measures, with the dominant forces in this
state, but all unite in admitting that he has
accomplished great results during his first
term in the senate, not only for his state
but for the nation in general. He is recog-
nized as one of the three ablest cnnstitu-
tional lawyers in tue senate to-day. When
fighter and is able to defend his cause from
any point which it may be attacked by his
opponents. His selection as chairman of
the joint committee from the two houses of
congress, appointed to revise the statutes
Of the United States, speaks volumes in be-
half af his ability as lawyer and states
man.
With Hepburn and Borah in the senate,
ldaho's banner, during the coming four
years, will be held aloft. In fact, her two
representatives in that body will be found

state.will WELD an influence as great as that
