Joe Cravens, nominal floor leader, look
very foolish and helpless.
When Cravens was named to be

sion in great glee and argued that.
after all, even without the speaker,
the governor would have the real force

man Cravens.
But Adam Wise, logical aspirant for
floor leadership and for the best chair

VOICE OF THE PEOPL[
A Library Site

Now that a public library is assur-
ed provided the citizens procure a
suitable site," it seems advisable
that our thoughts should be turned
i'll that direction
1t is customary in erecting such
buildings to raise them in the nature
of memorial that future genera
tons may not forget US
Instinctively the thoughts of the
'sold settlers" turn to slot No so
Original Plat" better known to the
new corners as the Cleaveland lot
When our forefathers laid out the
original town they planted trees
along their straight streets, which
they left, priceless legacy to us The
Cleaveland lot is surrounded by
beautiful trees which could not be
duplicated inside of fifty years.
For many years this was the HON.
of ellison Cleaveland and Caroline
Rose, his wife Caroline Rose was
the daughter of Oliver Rose, the
first merchant of Plymouth, and
ellison Cleaveland worked in his
store
In these days vendor or ped
der as we call them nov, had to pro-
cure a license in order to sell his
wares from house to house. Jacob
Powers, the grandfather of the late
". HI. Conger, was the first vendor
to receive such a license, and Oliver
Rose assisted him to get it These
pioneers fought a coed fight against
the hardships of the wilderness, but
in 1888 when the "sickly season"
came even strong men gave away, and
Oliver Rose among the rest He died
July IL, 1888
One block east and one south of
the corner mentioned stood the Plym-
outh Hotel owned and operated by
Grove Pomeroy, and so I could go on
naming these men and women who
toiled to make Plymouth what it is
today 1t is sure, that without these
men and women Plymouth would
not be here, and the mention of the
"Original Plat" makes them all
pass in review. What more fitting
memorial to these men and women
could be raised, than to put on Lot
No. so, in the heart Of our city?
they and their labors should be
enshrined in the. hearts of our citi-
zens, the beautiful Public Library
building, which will endure for all
time, lest future generations forget
us and our works?

Wells Refused to Subslde.
Then Representative Wells got mad
In soreness of spirit he arose on his
official toes and hollered. He recalled
his resolution from committee and de-
manded vote on it. On behalf of the
Democratic governor, whose chief
pride Is the state board of accounts
Floor Leader Cravens promptly de-
manded that Representative Wells go
far back and seat himself and subside
and be good administration Demo-
crat. Wells refused to subside or to
sit down. He hollered more and more.
Cravens was gentle and mild In man
ner, but his words were those of con
scious authority, and he took the at
titude Of one who expects to be obey
ed. But he was not obeyed-not even
q little bit
Then Adam Wise showed his hand.
The Plymouth man, theoretically the
ally and supporter of the floor leader,
took his stand with the insurrecto
from Scott county and demanded, In
his turn, that the impudent account
ing board come forward with the fig-
ures demanded, and waste no further
time in doing it. Flocking with Wise
went the Democratic majority, heller
SHELTER. on an AYE and no" vote.
which was demanded by Eschbach, the
Republican floor leader.
So complete was Cravens's rout
that he himself was forced to vote
with the crowd and against the COVER
nor. and to demand the report which
he had been insisting should not be
30 demanded.
In short, the Democratic house
showed it's teeth to the governor In a
most aggravating and disturbing way.
What may come of this spirit of indie
pendence, should 1t become rampant.
Is one of the questions of the hour for
the Marshall crowd At this writing
the house Democrats are still shouting
for the accounts board report, which
Il still delayed.
n Logical Outcome.
The demand for the state board of
accounts report was the logical result
Of the abuse Of power by the Demo
Gratis In charge of that board In en-
forcing the accounting law. Attention
was called, during the last campaign,
to the misuse Of the boards examin-
-
en- and reports, In an EFFORT to affect
local election results In favor Of the
Democrats. It was pointed out at that
time that the man who had In hand
the disposal Of cases proposed to be
brought against public officers. was q
Steve Fleming Democrat from Fort
Wayne, George Bittler. 1t was pointed
out and shown that he was holding
back important cases against Demo
Gratis and forcing to the front q few
cases against Republicans, with the
obvious idea Of injuring Republicans
and sparing Democrats at the pending
election. As q result of exposures oil
this Steve Fleming Governor Marshall
scheme to abuse the accounting law
the reports of the state board Of &C
counts did not have much effect on
the public. except to cause severe crit
icism In many quarters against the
Democratic management Of the &C

SMITH WRITES
TO BILL
And Gives Some Sound
Advice on Local
Politics.

Dear Bill:-It's been about Is
years since you asked my advice.
and when ! gave it. you got mad
and said you knew better than Il
did at the start. May be it will
be the same again, but you come
this time wanting to know about
things political. Well. real poll
tics had their end when the sena-
torial election was over. and now
we haven't thing left but the
street corner and tin horn politi-
clan, the fellows that have axes to
grind for what small graft may
follow the grinding. / don't
know. Bill. hardly how to advise
you in the premises. as the lawyers
say; but you want to keep an eye
wide open on the conduct of the
candidates and their followers.
Watch close, Bill. to see who is
using liquor (and it's sure being
used) and who are siding with the
law-breakers, especially with the
blind tiger element. You may
take it for granted, that if the
fellow whose sympathies are with
the lawless, have a particular
candidate, you may bet your bot
tom dollar, that candidate is pledg-
ed to stay by them when the wheels
of Justice begin to roll.
You want to be dead sure not to
help place man in power who
can use his Office to prevent justice
being done. Shun as you would a
plague, the candidate who asso-
ciates with the crowd who are
known grafters and whisky guz-
zlers. i see right smart drinking
going on, and / also see quite a
lot of fellows hanging around the
street corners, whose legitimate
business does not necessarily call
them to town, two or three times a
week. To use plain language,
they are after the dough-" and
some of them are undoubtedly
getting it.
We have some good men running
for office. but generally speaking.
the real good man is usually a
modest man, and doesn't hire a lot
of oily tongued helpers to boost
him, but. depends in the main on
the good sense of the whole people.
In conclusion. Bill, let me advise
you to vote for the best men out,
clean. sober and attentive to busi-
ness.
Yours,
y -A SMITH.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL.

The telephone girl sits still in
her chair and listens to voices from
everywhere. She hears all the
gossip. she hears all the news; she
knows who is happy and who has
the blues; she knows all our sor-
rows. she knows all our Joys; she
knows every girl who is chasing
the boys; she knows of our troubles,
and she knows every man who is
mean to his wife; she knows every
time we are out with the boys; she
hears the excuses each fellow en-
ploys + she knows every woman who
has dark past; she knows every
man who's inclined to be fast; in
fact, there's a secret meath each
saucy curl of that quiet demure
looking telephone girl. II the tele-
phone girl would tell all she knows,
1t would turn half our friends
into bitterest foes. She would
sow a small wind that would soon
become gale, engulf US in trouble
and land US in Jail; she would let
60 story which gaining in force)
would cause half our wives to sue
for divorce; she could get all the
churches mixed up in q fight and
turn all our days into sorroWing
night; in fact, she could keep the
whole town in stew. if she'd tell
the tenth part Of the things that
SHE knew. Now doesn't il make
your head simply whirl when you
think what you owe to the tele-
phone girlg Walt Whitman.
