for any political Office except that
of state senator, both in 1900 and
in 1904, receiving the unanimous
nomination for that office at the
Republican primaries and repre-
senting Marshall and Kosciusko
counties in the upper house dur
ing the 62nd, 63rd, 64th and Goth
sessions.
Mr.. Parks comes of a family
in whom the pioneering spirit
was evidently strong. During
the period between the Revolu-
ton and the second war with
Great Britain some of the name
crossed the Allegheny mountains
and made settlement in Ken
lucky. In Bourbon county OF
that state was born James {
Parks on March 20. 1913. In
1927 he and his family came to
Rush county. Indiana, when that
was still thinly settled region,
and in 1885 they crossed the Wa,
bash valley and located perman
emily in the yet newer county OF
Marshall. 1t is an interesting fact
of local history that they were
the first white settlers in Bour-
bon township, and that name was
given to the postofice, town and
township, in honor of the county
from which they had come in
Kentucky. James O. Parks lived
more than half a century in this
county. He was likewise a law
yer, among the first in the coun-
ty, twice served in the Legislature
before the war, and always stood
high in the esteem of the people
of Marshall county. He was
married in Rush county, in Octo-
Der 1886. to Susan Dinwiddie.
\ son OF these parents, John
w. Parks, was born on a farm
north of Bourbon, May 25, 1852,
and in boyhood moved into
Bourbon, where he was reared
and lived until his removal to
Plymouth in 1876. He was a pu,
pill in the public schools of Bour-
bon forty years ago, but having
been appointed deputy postmast-
er in 1870, in which capacity he
served three years and assumed
most of the duties of the Office.
His schooling was interrupted
before he had obtained what
might be called a finished edu-
cation. WI lie he was in the post
office. the German Baptist esi
tablished Salem College in the
town, and this offering oppor-
tunities for higher education. he
resigned his place in the post
Office and for two years attended
this school, from which many
men of this county received early
enlightenment and culture. After
! this he entered the University of
Michigan and prepared for his
profession. Soon after beginning
practice, on October 10, 1876, he
married Miss Sall:e H. Mozingo,
of Upton county, and shortly af-
terward Mr.. and Mrs. Parks took
up their residence in Plymouth.
Mr.. Parks, was in early life,
identified with the Presbyterian
church but as his wife and family
were Methodists he changed his
membership to the Methodist
Episcopal church, III which he
has since been very active and
prominent. Since 1873 he has
served as popular Sunday
School superintendent.
Besides the widow, Mr.. Parks
is survived by two adopted child
rem, James O., Asst. Cashier at
East Chicago Bank, and Jennie
Belle "a Junior in the Plymouth
High School. OF two brothers
and one sister, Mrs. Jennie
Weaver of Bourbon, is the only
one surviving.

Scientious members of the upper
house of the Indiana legislature.
He was a member of the judi
ciary committee and other impor-
tant committees and was instru-
mental in the enactment of many
good laws and the killing of
many bad bills.
In March 1875 John w. Parks
was graduated from the Law De-
partment OF the University OF
Michigan, receiving, at the same
time, the regular degree OF Ii.
B. Returning to his native coun-
ty, where he had already though
a young man, received some
proofs of esteem from his fellow
citizens, he was soon admitted to
he bar and in'76 removed to Ply
mouth where he has been engag-
ed steadily in the practice of law
for over thirty years. He was

he Marshall county bar and as
a lawyer ranked among the lead
ers of the profession. He has
given the best years of his life,
his talent and his energy to his
practice, and has gained the best
objects of his early ambition.
Seldom has Mr.. Parks allowed
himself to be turned aside from
the path of his profession into
the tempting field of politics
Some years ago his friends desir-
ed to give him the nomination
for a judicial position, and in
spite of his positive declination
of the honor, he received the
complimentary vote which was
only two short of a nomination.
He has never been a candidate

ELECTRIC LIGHT PROPO-
SITION.

Monday evening, when the city
council decided to readvertise
for bids for the electric light con-
tract, that body identically car
ried out a proposition made by
the Plymouth Tribune on Au-
gust 18th, 1908, when the electric
light question was beng consid-
cred This was at the time when
the council seemed about to de-
liver the contract to c. d. Snoe-
berger, and an injunction suit
had just been filed before Judge
Bernetha. This was before the
suit was begun, and later lost by
the councilmen. The following
is the article as it appeared in

Buck and ]. ID. Mccoy, who have
held the interests of the people
in mind throughout the entire
electric light conflict, voted
against the plan adopted by
majority vote. The electric light
committee is composed of Coun-
cilmen Deeds, Ness and Mccoy.
The report was prepared by
Deeds and Ness, without any
knowledge of Mccoy, which be-
sides being unfair, showed ex-
treme discourtesy. Buck and
Mccoy seemed totally ignorant
)f the report when it was read
last night. Councilman Tanner
who is not on the committee, but
who has been with the other two
throughout, of course knew all
about it, and helped to railroad it
through.
Two weeks ago when Council
man Mccoy sought to have the
electric matter brought up, the
three councilmen said: there is
plenty of time" Monday night
when Mccoy thought that the
bidders should have more than
ten days notice. they said "ten
days is sufficient, and we want
to get the matter disposed of. !"
MR.. TAXPAYER, DON'T
YOU BEGIN TO SEE WHAT
THE COUNCIL is ABOUT?
AND WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF THE ELECTRIC
LIGHT PROPOSITION?
At Goshen a short time ago,
the city council showed itself ar
bitrary in delivering the electric
light contract, and the citizens
arose as a body and forced the
council TO resign. The citizens of
Goshen then had private con-
tractor build an electric light
plant for them, for which they
are paying, just as we pay for
the street lighting. Plymouth
was made the same proposition

PROSECUTION
Roosevelt Started 1t.

'The evidence being published
as an attack on the Roosevelt
administration is, in fact, evidence
that Roosevelt's administration
gathered to defeat the fraud.
"The whole thing has long been
at the disposal of the public and
it was because no details of the
sugar trust prosecution were be-
ing published in the daily papers
that the article entitled The Case
of the Seventeen Holes appeared,
at Roosevelt's suggestion, In The
Outlook. The result of this arti-
Gle was to awaken public interest
in the matter.
Attacks Absurd.
Anyone who has followed the
developments of the case will
realize how unjust and absurd are
the present attacks on Roosevelt.
"The Roosevelt administration
Iunearthed the frauds and started
the prosecutions and the Taft ad-
ADMINISTRATION is continuing the
prosecutions, applying such ad-
ministrative measures as are ne
lcessary to prevent a repetition of
the frauds.
Notwithstanding Fines.
THE result of the first cases
was that in seven months the
sugar trust had been convicted
and made to pay over four times
as much as any rebate fine ever
before collected under a rebate
law.
9TH total fines collected from
the American Sugar Refining
company and subsidiary COM
panies were s168,000, whereas,
the largest fine ever before col
lected had been $4,000.
'"The fine was sufficient in size
to stop the evil.

concerned.

since been made possible.

N. r. wITHDRAWs THE SUIT
AGAINST TITLOW AND WILL
NOW TRY TO GET WHAT 1T
WANTS FROM COUNCIL.

The Northern Pacific abandoned
its plan to cross the Wilton water
way on the original survey yester-
day afternoon, withdrew the con-
domination suit against A. r. Tit
low and it will now try to bluff
the city of Tacoma out of her
rights with a view to bottling up
the waterfront.
Since the deciding to the city of
the strip of land by Titlow last
neck, the N. P. has been at sea
and no indication could be had
from the company officers as to
what they intended to do.
Two Courses Open
Two courses were. open to them,
to go ahead with the condemna-
ton case in federal court and
build the track as originally in
tended. This meant they must
build lift bridge at the Wilton
waterway under the order of the
United States government.
The other course was to dismiss
the suit and start a new one for a
change in the route to bring it
back over the land decided to the
city. This meant they would have
to secure franchise from the city.
1t is up to the city to say when
this question comes up whether
the railroad must put in a lift
bridge on the city property.
In the deed given by Titlow il
was made a condition that the city
must maintain the property from

J|M Till makes A NEW

C|TYS WEST WATERFRONT

the Wilton waterway back for 400
feet as an open waterway. This
means the city must demand the
erection of a lift bridge there or
else the property reverts back to
Titlow.
The whole. case now comes down
to this proposition: Will the city
throw up the valuable piece of
waterfront it has been given for
municipal docks simply to save
Jim Hill from spending a few
thousand dollars for lift bridge
to cross it?
The N. p. is going to try to push
this plan through.
New Move Made
The Titlow case was called yes
terday afternoon in federal court
and the attorneys for the N. p.
arose and asked that it be dismiss
ed. This is virtual admission that
1t is going to change its route and
endeavor to bluff the city out on
the inner survey or that it is going
to make another effort at Wash
ington to get the government to
withdraw the order for the lift
bridge. 1t is believed the attempt
will be made on the city council
The local Jim Hill shouters may
now be expected to begin hammer
ing the council not to obstruct new
railroad building and the changes
will be sounded on this to try to
deceive the public and make them
think the N. P. is actually being
blocked in its effort to build the
Point Defiance lane.
Time to Assert Rights
1t is time for the people to wake
up and insist that the council
stand pat and give nothing more to
Jim Hill unless he comes through
in good shape.
No franchise should be granted
to cross the city property at the
Wilton waterway unless lift
bridge is put in when the line is
built and 1t might be a good plan
right now to take up the case of
switching charges in Tacoma and
see that franchise provision is
made to protect the public here, as
it is done i'm Seattle.
1t is time now for the people to |
back up the council on IL program
that will bring Jim Hill to terms.
The dismissal of the suit in fed
eral court yesterday means that he
is going to bottle the west water
front If he can.
Will Tacoma let him do it?
