AMERICAN WOODEN COMPANY
Combination of New England Mills
Progresses Well

The officials of the American Wool
en- company, which controls 30 plants
In New England and New York state,
said Friday that the corporation had
nothing to do with a combination Of
Independent mills said to be in pro-
cess of formation. In Albany the
American Woolen company of New
York, a subsidiary concern, filed
statement announcing that 1t had ex-
tended it's corporate purposes so as to
authorize the company to become
party to an agreement for the shar-
ing of profits or to union of interests
agreement for reciprocal concessions,
cooperation, mutual trade arrange
ments with any person, firm or
corporation" that is engaged in the
same line.
At the head office of the parent cor
poration it was stated that the certi-
fication was merely the contamination
of step taken at the last annual
meeting of the company's selling
agency in New York and had nothing

whatever to do with any new amalga-
nation.
1t was learned recently that II the
attempt to form a combiD alton Of in
dependent mills is successful. the
merger will be financed by a proml-
nent Boston banking house The
mills mentioned as among those which
may enter the combination are the
Cleveland Worsted Mills of Cleveland.
the Southwark Mills of Philadelphia.
the Pequea Mills OF Philadelphia and
the Globe Woolen Mills of Utica, n. Y
The combination of these mills
would make a single company using
yearly 25,00O, 900 to 10000 900 pounds
of wool. This compares with a con-
sumption Of about 10000 900 pounds
per annum by the American Woolen
Company; about 10000 900 pounds by
the Arlington Mills. Lawrence, the
largest individual concern outside the
American Wooden company.
The four have In the aggregate 1854
looms, $4,000 spindles, 50 combs and
120 cards.

Cornet Mile at Maplevllle R l.. and

agreed To enter the nronospd combine

BRYAN HAS TAKEN Up
NEW ISSUE
The Greatest Democrat DenOunces the
Saloons.

William J. Bryan has taken up a
new issue-the saloon-and declares
in statement. which appeared in the
press recently, that democracy must
divorce itself from the liquor interests
for all time to come. Mr.. Bryan
comes out in favor of county option
! in Nebraska, contending that the peo-
pie have the undeniable right to say
when and how license shall be ad-
ministered.
His new departure is regarded as
the political sensation of the day and
as calculated to deprive him of the
leadership of the democratic party in
his own state, where practically all
the leaders of the party are in oppo-
sition to his pronouncement. In his
statement he says in part
THE right of the government to
regulate the sale of the liquor cannot
be questioned, and the right to regu
late the right to prohibit the open
saloon.
The liquor question has been made
acute in Nebraska by the unscrupu
lousness of the liquor interests. In
stead of the saloon of former days,
owned by a resident and amenable
to some extent at least to the senti
ment of the community, we have the
branch saloon, owned and operated
by a producer of liquor. This system
adds the evils of the trust system to
the evils of the saloon itself. When
ever a community attempts to deal
with the saloon question instead of
having to deal with one of its own
citizens it finds itself in a struggle
with great corporations which operate
over a large area and have a pecuni
airy interest in cuItivating the appe
tte for drink.
THE saloon-not every one, but as
rule-is an alliance with vice. 1t is
constantly used to debauch politics.
The liquor interests interfere in all
! matters l1dI Inlay even leiuoltlS al
feet their interests. They made them
selves odious at the last session of
the Nebraska legislature. The Demo-
Gratis had a majority in both branch
es for the first time in the states
history, and the splendid record of
the Legislature had but one blot on
it, and that blot was put there by the
liquor interests. They controlled
enough senators to prevent the sub
mission of the initiative and referen-
DUN.
THE democratic party cannot af-
ford to act as the mouthpiece of the
liquor interests. 1t can have moth
ing in common with the selfish, mer-
cenary and constituencies crusade
that the liquor interests have organ
lied against the home and the state
against private virtue and public
morals"

Railroad Finance.

Some of the ablest railroad admin
istrators are insisting before the In
terstate Commerce Commission that
recent amendments to the law have
taken the burden of maintaining the
credit of the roads from the men re-
spOnsible for their management, and
have placed it upon the commission.
They declare that the result of this
legislation is to take away the specu.
lative value of railroad securities
and to make them investments pure
and simple. In order for credit to be
maintained, they point out that be.
sides a sufficient return to the in
vestOr there must be an adequate i'm
prOvement of property. for every
dollar paid the investor at least ff-
ty celts must be put into the proper
ty and rates must be adjusted to this
end Then comes the complaint that
ever the conservative roads cannot
find a market for their securities be-
cause of the suspicion that they are
not TO be allowed to maintain the
rates necessary for the purpose
above set forth. Some of the COM
missioners are anxious TO find out
who is responsible for thus inluenc-
ing the securities market at this
particular time. If the government
is to he responsible for railroad
credit, it means much stricter govern
ment regulation.

Mrs. Mary Sheldon.

Mrs. Mary Mcqueen Sheldon, was
born in Albion, My, Sept. 10, 1884,
and departed this life at her home,
corner of Minor and Charles street
Plymouth Ind, Oct. 20, 1910 age rs
years and l month.
Mrs. Sheldon was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Mcqueen. Mr..
Mcqueen was of Scott Irish descent
and the mother a strict Puritan.
Their early home was at New York
City. When the west was yet a
wilderness, Mr.. and Mrs. Mcqueen
inbarked from Albion n. Y. to Eaton
County Mich, and we're among the
first settlers in that county. He OBJ
tanned a tract of land and took up
practise of law. For a time he was
one of the leading merchants in Eaton
Rapids, and was commonly known as
Judge Mcqueen. His integrity and
firmness were known and spoken of
far and wide and upon the records
Of Eaton County is a recognition of
these facts which are pointed to
with pride by his large circle of
friends. His daughter Mary was but
FIVE years old when the family moved
to Michigan. Here she grew to wo-
manhood, and in her young life gave
evidence of a strong inheritance of
the many noble qualities of her par
ents. She was united in marriage to
Mr.. James Robert Haines a farmer.
She leaves to mourn her two
children, one soil, the Rev. Eugene
Haines now pastor Of the First Bap-
fist Church of Glendale California,
and who for a number of years past
was pastor of the Baptist Church of
Rutland Vermont. He justly receives
the credit of being a very able min
lister i'm the Baptist Church. Also
one daughter, Miss Ida Haines of the
CITY Schools OF Plymouth Ind. She
is a graduate of the Public School of
Eaton Rapids, also of Michigan
State Normal. She came TO Plymouth
in 1895 fifteen years ago and entered
the primary department of the Web
ster. South Side School, and her
remarkable talent for governing the
children has brought her most
worthy appreciation, insomuch that
the famous college at Valparaiso en-
ployes her during the summer
months in training teachers in that
department. I'm 1896 Mrs Sheldon
came to Plymouth and joined her
daughter in making a home that
was happy. Mrs. Sheldon's home
life at Plymouth was extended to her
two sisters, Mrs. Phebe Montgomery.
of California. and Mrs. Jane Wood
Detroit Mich. these two sisters
shared the home comforts with Mrs.
Sheldon, who for a number of wears
has been in declining health. She
also has a brother that survives her.
