inns, o. course, is an old story. 1t is a condition of mind well
known to the press. Every newspaper undertaking a campaicn
against any long standing abuse of power, or wealth, or privilege, has
to guarantee in many cases an absolute secrecy as to the sources Of
information. In the decadence of Venice it was once found ecessarv
to permit complaints to be dropped anonymously into a letter box
fashioned in the form of a lions mouth, in order to obtain testimony
from a people long submissive to the domination of their gron1ecs
and their braves.
We have no such condition in this country. Nevertheless tho
forces of graft and greed are often too strong for the AVERAGE citizen
to defy with safety. 1t would be a model republic indeed If tc
poorest man or woman could with impunity denounce openly every,
violation Of its laws.

Accounts Of the affair are heavy with the weight of golden
hgures. The matron bride sat upon a miniature throne. She was
crowned with a diadem Of gold set with diamonds and valued at
100000. She was served with a dozen ful-szed dinner plates of
SOLID gold valued at $4,000. The table was adorned with a flower
basket OF solid gold worth $4,000. Altogether the presents bestowed
upon her were valued at 100000 in soHJ gold, and they were en-.
powered in blossoms that cost $4,000 more in solid gold.
To cap the climax and put a golden pinnacle upon the golden
pile, the happy husband gave $4,000 in gold to charity that she
might puff herself up and boast herself of a golden patron.

The coincidence of an instruction in Mexico with the evident
failing strength Of Daz, gives to the movement the outward appear
ance at least of a preparation on the part of President Taft to inter
fere In Mexican politics should need arise to protect the interests
Of American and European residents and investors. Reports from
Europe indicate that the fnanciers Of London, Paris and Berlin expect
US to do so. In short, it is the belief that if Mexico falls into confu-
sion upon the death of Daz, the United States will conserve the inter.
ets Of property there as Great Britain has conserved them in Egypt.
The ugly feature of the situation is that We may find ourselves
involved in Mexican and Central American politics by mere Executive
action. Fortunately, Taft is not a Roosevelt. He may he expected
to keep within the Constitution.

Women to Arouse

that their members realize the fullest
expression of themselves.
Woman, since she began to look
beyond the walls of her home, has
seen some things that man, in his
long preoccupation with the world IS
grosser affairs, had not discovered,
or had put aside as stars that were
only meant for shining, / believe
it is because of her grand function
as mother of the race that these Wis
ions were vouchsafed to her.
Through her interest in the child,
she has become filled with divine
discomfort, that will not give her
pause till she sees some wrongs in
process of being righted.
Our State Federation this year has
borrowed the motto of the Indiana
Child Labor Committee:
Every child has the inalienable
right
To be born right.
To he loved.
To have his individuality respect
ed.
To be wisely trained in body, mind
and soul.
To be protected. from evil persons
and influences.
To have a fair chance in life.''
This Is the powerful magnet that
has led the women of the Hoosier
State to turn with renewed interest
and enthusiasm to>a study of the
home and school ~
No woman can escape her respon-
sibility of wife, mother, or home
maker. and the notion has been
spreading among us that we ought
to have voice in the management
of our public schools. Time was,

owned their children: a father, on

To Study Home Economies.

Friday afternoon a few house
keepers and younger women met at
the home of Miss Southwick to con-
slider the forming of a class to study
Home Economies. Miss Alice Sand
ers, who has been representing the
American School of Home Economies
here this summer, has stirred up che
interest in the work; and it is prob
able that two classes will be formed.
One for the housewives, and one foa
the younger women.
Miss Maude Marks is at present
engineering the finding of the class
of young girls, and Miss Aura
Southwick has made her the offer of
two hour lesson on each Saturday
afternoon at 25 cents per member.
1t is hoped that a class of ten will
take advantage of this opportunity.
The plan is that the lessons will be
held in turn in the homes of the
members.

CANDIDATES NOTIFIED
Careiul Consideration Given to All
by Mr.. New-Appcintment Will
Take Effect Sept. 80.

On Saturday word was received
here by the candidates for the post
office, from Harry 5. Ntw, that he
had recommended Francis L. Garn
to be appointed as the next post
master in Plymouth. The recommen-
dation goes to President Taft, who
makes the appointment. The Presi-
den S appointment then goes to the
Senate for confirmation after>>which
the commission is made out by the
Pestoffce Department.
There being no Republican senator
in Indiana, and no Republican con-
gresham in this district, as well as
many others, President Taft chose
Hon. Harry S. New to act in the ca
pacity Of senator or congressman
and make recommendations to him
for appointments. Mr.. News recon-
mendation IS therefore of as much
weight as if it had been made by a
republican senator.
There is no one in all the different
crowds which have taken part in Re-
publican politics in the past who
has ANYTHING to SAY against Harry
New. All regard him as a man Of the
finest attainments, a skilled politi-
clan, entirely unselfish, and thor
ouehly fair and honest in all he does
both politically and in business. In
the postoffice matter he gave careful
and painstaking consideration to all
of the candidates and their repre-
sentations and recommendations In
points Mr.. New took several weeks
order to more fully consider all these
longer than he or the candidates ex-
/ pected to settle the matter.
Mr.. Steiner's resignation is to
fake effect Sept. 80, and On that date
Mr.. Garn will take charge Of the du-
les of the Plymouth postofice. His
commission will read for the full
term of four years, and not for the
unexpired term of Mr.. Steiner.

But let every club give some time
