Personal Liberty

''The action of the customs inspector at New York who recently directed that two prominent southern women be stripped of most of their clothing and bodily searched for supposed smuggle1 goods set off to good advantage sthe fallacy of the term, personal liberty l" said a well known person, who is inter- ested in the science of sociology. "As a matter of fact, there is only faint suggestion of anything like personal lib- erty in the innumerabe restrictions which have been the result of civilization. Mans relation to man has put him un- der a most wonderful readjustment of himself to meet the demands of social conditions, and finally there is an in- dividual liberty only where the man has become perfectly adapted to his environ ment.
 "Of course. 1t is a bad thing that two gentlewomen should have been subject to such an embarrassing situation, and yet the customs inspector was acting, no doubt, with the highest consciousness of duty. He was performing just sucn a function as is performed in the courts all over tHe country WhciC SuSPSS'S e'i V subjected to the most rigid examina- tion, whether bodily or not. and made answerable to their charges until proven innocent. In the case of the gentle women who had their clothing removed there is an element of indecency' which invites the resentment of all civilized people, But if the customs inspector, as he claims, was warned that the two persons in question were attempting the smuggling game, he is rather to be com mended than criticised for the inexorable stand he took in a matter of duty. It IS hard to think that he foresaw any fun in the examination and, to say the least the situation must have been for him an embarrassing one. Therefore. some con- sideration of his motive must be taken into account, especially in view of inc fact that even gentlefolk have not all ways proven trustworthy when 1t comes to smuggling

Wall Street Cheerful

Henry Clews' in his Saturday review says in part:
 Ut will be argued by some that busi- ress recation, tariff agitation. supreme court decisions and other unfavorable conditions with which we are all familiar will prevent any Improvement in the stock market There is one reply to this argu- ment, which is that these conditions have been known for months and are thorough ly discounted They no longer have the effect upon market opinion which they once had. For months Wall street has been the most pessimstic spot in the country, and this when business and in dustrial activity was at it's height. The truth is that Wall street was then dis counting in advance a situation which is now generally recognized. It may not be pleasant, still it is proper to call attention to the fact that Wall street was correct in it's prognostications. No doubt it is equally correct in now assuming more hopeful attitude, for today Wall street is unquestionably the most cheerful spot in the country. Our leading finaneiers ap- preciate full well the power of cheap fnOuey dS d SllIluldnt to Ndlues anu cii terprise, and they realize better than any one else the significance of the return in our foreign trade to more normal condi- tions It is not the volume of this for eign trade that is of influence, so much as the significant changes in fundamental conditions which it implies

Saturday.

Sept, 21-Plymouth's first Home
Coming and Fall Festival opened
auspiciously this morning The
weather was dull and threatening IN
the early hours, but later the indi-
cations betokened lovely fall day.
The early morning trains brought
large numbers to the city and by Che
late afternoon the streets were
crowded.
1t is quite probable that the esti-
mate of the Commercial Club of an
attendance Of 10000 will be surpass-
ed during the three days of the
Festival
The lavish decorations everywhere
were the subject of most favorable
comment by strangers. and the Opin-
ion was generally expressed that
Plymouth had ''done itself proud"
In its laudable undertaking. Dur
ING the day the bands of Bremen and
Bourbon discoursed excellent music
along the principal streets.
One of the finest displays of horti-
culture ever shown in Marshall coul;-
ty. is on exhibition in a tent on
Michigan street. opposite Bucks
hardware store. Tomorrow the
judges will award the prizes, and
the competition in the different sec
tions of the exhibit will be decidedly
keen. Every Imaginable variety of

to the p ekling onion is shown In end

edged by all those who had viewed
the display, that the farmers were
entitled to high encomiums for the

made possible.

miles west of the city. has sent in an
exhibit of apples which for size,
coloring and general excellence. has
seldom been beaten in any fruit
show in this state. 1t was remark
ed by one of the strangers in the city
that he had no idea, it was possible
to raise such apples in Marshall
county. which will surely gain fresh
larrels by this very excellent dis
play.

Many in Tippecanoe township will

there for the West years ago. Tbs

circular about the Judith Basin in
Montana and in it is the following
about Mr.. Shoemaker:
The average farm In the judith
basin consists of a quarter-sectiOn
of land, but there are a number OF
large farms, on which practically all
of the work is done with machinery
operated by steam or gasoline power
One of these is the twenty-four-
hundred-acre farm of c. f. Shoe
maker and Company, near Moore
Two thousand acres of this tract
are now in winter wheat, which
will be harvested next August.
c. E. Shoemaker and Company, a
corporation capitalized at $4,000
whose resources are nearly three
times their capital, and whose main
Office is located in Lewistown
Montana, are engaged in'making and
selling farm mortgage loans in the
Judith basin. TIL Y do not deal II
lands.
+ G. E. Shoemaker and Company dc
a strictly conservative loan busi
ness. While land values In the
basin have risen to sixty-five anc
seventy dollars an acre, thew d'
not loan to exceed fifteen dollars pei
acre. Indeed they will not loan a:
much as this unless the applicant
land is very well improved, situated
close to market, and entirely, or al
most entirely under cultivation.
The loans made by c. T.. Shoe
maker and Company range in amour
from five hundred dollars to tw'
thousand dollars, on quarter-sec
tion but average about one THOUSAND
dollars each. They net the investo
six per cent, and the title in ever,
one is guaranteed.
C. E. Shoemaker and Compan

are making, and of their company
