VIM. n. Morris of Polk Township
Has Faith In Republican Success
and Desires Place on the Ticket.

In another column is published
the announcement of VIM. H. Morris
of Polk township. He wants the
nomination for surveyor and firmly
believes he can be elected if he gets

candidate for surveyor in 1906,
when there was little show of sue
cess, and he wants a good fair
chance this year. He believes the
republicans will succeed and he
wants to. do his share toward bring
ing that success. He is well known
over the county, having constructed
some of the best bitches that have
been dug here. As a ditch con-
tractor he has no superior, nor per-
haps any equal in the county. He
knows how they ought to be made,

WRITINGS OF BARRIE.
Saturday Club Hears Good Papers
About Them by Mrs. Metsker
and Mrs. Hanes.

The last meeting Of the Saturday
club was held at the home of Mrs.
George Marks on north Michigan
street. The usual number were pres
ent. The subject of study was
James Barrie. Two very interest
ing papers made up the program.
The first was by Mrs. Metsker and
dealt with the writings of Barrie.
"The writings OF Barrie" said
Mrs. Metsker, "are real literature.
He does not tell us anything new,
but what we have always known.
He deals with the private, personal,
serene, eternal world, with little acts
of kindness and of love. He looks
upon life with the simplicity Of a
child.
The theme of his greatest drama,
"What Every Woman Knows" may
be said to be the theme of his writ
ings. He writes with such deiicacy,
such understanding and intimacy Of
the thoughts and feelings Of woman
that his writings might well be mis-
taken fer those of some sensitive
woman. The world loves Barrie for
his. sunny humor and sweet senti-
ment.
Mrs. Metsker reviewed Barrie s
play, "What Every Woman Knows. ,
Mrs. Hanes treated of the
biography Of Barrie. He was born
in 1860 in Scotland. He received
his education at Edinburgh Univer-
sity. He began his writings as a
newspaper and reporter. During his
reporters life he wrote "Auld
LIGHT Idylls, which won him fame at
once. Barrie married in due time
and was soon after divorced.
His first drama was written in
partnership with another but this
drama was a failure, appearing only
once. But Barrie was not dis
couraged. He studied the drama
thoroughly and seemed to have an
intuitive knowledge of what would
appeal to the play goer. He became
later one Of our greatest masters Of
the drama.

FOUND DEAD N HIS BED
Not Seeing Any Signs Of Life and
Being Unable 70 Get Any
Response the Door Was
Forced Open.

DR.. A. C. Holtzendorff died dur
ing the night and was found dead in
his bed Sunday. His son, DR.. Chas.
A. Holtzendorff was at his father g
home as usual about 7::30 Saturday
night and fixed the furnace fires.
His father had been at the bank
meeting, and had enjoyed being out,
told his son of having found some
thing he could eat without distress,
and seemed rather unusually well
and cheerful.
He locked his door as usual after
his son had gone away, and no more
is known, further than that a neigh
Dor saw light at a window, at two
O'Clock Sunday morning. Young
doctor Holtzendorff came past from
a night call at three o'clock, but no
light was visible at that hour. Sun
day morning the SON took the morn
ing paper and placed it at the usual
spot SO his father could get it with
out going out the door, went to his
breakfast, as usual, and about his
duties, looking over at intervals for
indications that his father was up.
Becoming uneasy just before noon,
he called to his father, and even
called over the phone, but getting no
response decided to force the door,
and on going in found his father
well tucked in bed, lying dead.
He had evidently been up at two
o o'clock, and after retiring again had
died sometime after that, just when
is not known.
The body was taken to the home
of his son in the next block south
On Michigan street, where the
funeral will be held Tuesday after
noon. The funeral will be con-
Quoted by the Masonic order, Of
which Mr.. Holtzendorff was a men,
Der all his life. He was one of the
best known men in the city and was
widely known throughout the coun-
ty. Besides his son Charles he
leaves another son, DR.. Henry
Holtzendorf Of Mishawaka.
DR.. Holtzendorff was q man Of
decided convictions, eccentric in
some things, yet with a kindness Of
heart that many never learned Of.
His particular passion for several
years was the cultivation of plants,
and especially roses, and when he
was able to care for his garden, it
was delight to visit him and hear
his explanations of the beautiful and
often peculiar plants and flowers
that he raised. He was q deep
student, and was possessed of re-
markable knowledge Of affairs in
general, and subject on which he
chose to specialize, he mastered, and
could tell of with a confidence that
few men possess.
He had lived on the corner of
Michigan and Jefferson streets,
where he had his residence and
Office, for many. years, and was a
familiar figure in Plymouth. He
was a physician of ability, and will
be missed in the business circles
where he had interests.

that every republican in the county
express his preference just as he
feels. Do not put it off-do it now.
The Republican reaches ten times as
many voters of the party as attend
the caucuses, and therefore this
ballot of the people ought to serve
valuable purpose in determining
the choice of the party in the coun-
ty. There should be . primary
vote in all the states for the n0mi-
nation of president, but since there
is not. this method comes nearest to
letting the people express them
selves as they really feel.
Cut out the ballot in this issue,
mark and x at the left of your
choice for president, sign you name,
address and mail the ballot to the
Republican, or bring it in if you
prefer.

Empty Cans for Birds.

John Bachtel, a small boy of
near Lapaz, is the inventor of the
following scheme which we pass on
for the benefit of other boys-and
other birds. Last year he put up on
poles and other conspicuous places
empty tin cans, lying sidewise, Of
course, that the opening may serve
as door for the birds. The birds
were quick to appreciate the con-
venience of these ready made homes
and Master Bachtel had all his bird
apartments occupied by musical

They paid their rent in song and

one knows how many bugs and
worms they consumed which might
have otherwise injured fruit and
vegetables.

peace, rather than the patriotism Of

no longer probable except in some
of the less civilized parts of the
world. The Japan war scare is q

months to put a force of 100000

You could not find three men in
your city, he said, who would not be
ready on a moments notice to 90
to war if necessary; but you could
find fifty who will sell their voting
franchise, for which the fathers
died to give them.
Mr.. Hanly referred to the whole
sale barter of valuable franchises in
New York City by the council of
that city which had given away
franchises in light, water, heat and
transportation-the four necessities
of life. He called up the disgrace
full history of Philadelphia and the
state of Pennsylvania, telling of the
S5.OOO,OO0 graft in the new state
house. In passing he told how he
had been compelled to drive from an
office an auditor, treasurer and ad-
Jutant general who embezzled state
| funds.
"The Senate of the United States
has not cleared Senator Lorimer,"
declared Mr.. Hanly. "By clearing

Plymouth, Ind, Feb. IA, 1912.
Mr.. S. E. Boys,
Editor Republican:
Dear, Sir: 1 thank you for pub
fishing the report made by me, as
Chairman of the Electric Light
Committee of the City Council, to
that body at their meeting last
Monday night, regarding the post
lights on north Michigan street.
Fearing that there may be some who
VIII misunderstood the position TAX
en- by me, beg your indulgence
while 1 endeavor to set it before
your readers, and then 1 am ready
to meet any one who may hold DIFF
ferent ideas, and listen to them
respectfully, and if l am wrong,
am quite ready to acknowledge it.
Last year when the subject of in
stalling post lights on north Michi-
gan street was first broached, it
was pointed out, and published in
the papers, that the post lights were
SO far superior to the antiouated
arc lights, that the establishment of
them along few blocks, would en-
courage others, by seeing their
superiority, to agitate the subject of
placing them along the entire length
of the street, and of other streets of
the city.
For the particular territory affected,
the proposition was that if the resi-
dents along the route would install
the lights at their own expense,

MORTGAGE EXEMPTION talk
Equalization Of Rates, On Money,
Notes, Stock, Household Goods
and Other Taxable Property
Is Made.

As stated in this paper Of Feb.
10, the county assessors of the ten
counties comprising the north dis
trict, met at the court house Tues
day. Two members Of the State
Board of Tax Commissioners were
here, and some twenty-five town
ship assessors of these counties were
present.
There were several matters to talk
over which the assessors are inter-
ested in, and as all the people are
directly interested also, what those
men do is of concern to each one.
One question taken up was con-
cerning the listing of household
goods, personal property, stock, etc.
The object of the state board in di-
viding the state into nine districts is
that they may call the assessors to-
gether as done here, and get basis
arranged whereby each person s
goods will be assessed equally. 1t
has often been the case that an as
SCISSOR in one township will take stock
and goods of all kinds much lower
than his fellow assessor in an ad-
joining township will in his terri
tory. Hence it is plain that the
township with the higher listing
pays more tax in proportion. This
same thing has occurred in adjoin-
ing countless. and the desire is to get
all instructed alike, so that all will
be taxed equally, and each pay his
proportionate share of taxes. This
