MAKING PROGRESS.

About $50 cities in numerous
states are now governed under a
commission plan, including the
initiative, referendum and recall.
Munsey's Magazine says: "The
system has had thorough trial and
the conclusion is that while corrup-
ton and robbery are reduced to a
minimum the people seldom resort
to direct legislation or recall. City
councils know that if they don Il do
what the people want the people
will do it them el.es; so the coun-
ellis or eommiss ors DC it and save
the people the trouble" Which
seems to be ANAL sufficient answer
to those who-as an argument
against the initiative, referendum
and recall-assert that they are
seldom used when provided.-South
Bend Tribune.
The weekly Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1911-1922, 1912-01-25

worked well. In 1870 the four
private companies sent twenty
word messages for ST. from London
to Dublin. According to the latest
statement we have found, the Eng
fish telegraphs send the average
message of twelve words for fifteen
cents. And at that they give news
papers a phenomenal rate consisting
of twenty-five cents a one hundred
words and four cents for each addi-
tional hundred. And even then they
made $850,000 profit.
To this our telegraph companies
reply with some truth, that distances
are SO much less in England that the
charge for construction and main
tainance of the lines is less, also that
labor costs less over there.
OF course the one great fact to be
considered in this country, is the
exter. to which politics would affect
the service. Would our officials give
posts to men because they were good

THE REGISTRATION Law.

The Republican is pleased to give
to its readers the new Registration
law, under which the state of In
diana will have to "work politics"
during the next campaign.
Every man who expects to do
political work ought to familiarize
himself with this law. The main
points are not so hard, and the
more he knows about it the better
prepared he will be to do the work
he must do this year.
On account OF this new law, it
will be necessary for the political
workers to begin their duties much
earlier than heretofore. The first
registration occurs in May, and it
will be desirable to have every voter
possible register at this time, so
that as much of that work as pos
sible will be done and not interfere
with the later work of the campaign.
OF course, every voter should read
this new law. and lay it aside for
reference. This country is coming
to be more and more a government
of the people, and the people viii
have to study laws more and more
to become capable of performing
their duties. Every man should
know his rights and how to exer-
else them,
This new law is something un-
usual and interesting for Indiana.
Learn all about it so you may know
henceforth your rights and duties
under it.

1t will be generally admitted that
telegraph charges are too high. AT a
25 cents a word minimum, the tele-
graph does not enter largely into
the life of the common people. The
ordinary housewife on seeing the
yellow envelope at the door, often
desires the smelling salts, the un-
expected message suggesting death
or disaster.
Twenty years ago a telegraph
company was formed to do business
from Chicago to Milwaukee. They
delivered messages at a cent word,
and paid ninety per cent. of their
capital back to the stockholders in
two years. Then they reduced to
half q cent word, paid seven per
cent. on capital, and accumulated ia
surplus Of forty per cent. year.
Of course it must be admitted that

centers, kept hustling with messages

70 TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL
ons.Dslaysd Franes.E English Project
70 Once More Being Put
Forward.

A tunnel between England and
France beneath the English channel
was first proposed at the beginning
Of the nineteenth century by Matthew,
a French mining engineer, says the
Argonaut. Fifty years later the
scheme was financed, but it was not
until 1867 that It seemed that the
project would be actually attempted.
At that time there were dozen or
more plans for rail communication
between the two countries. The &C.
cepted scheme was that Of tunnel
bored beneath the bed of the channel.
The estimated cost Of the undertak-
ing was about $50,000,000. Prelimi-
nary boring had been made, when the
work was interrupted by the Franco
Prussian war. In 1874 the French
and English governments resumed ne.
gotiations concerning the tunnel,
leaving the matter in the hands of a
joint commission. Failure on the
part of the English company holding
the contract for the work to receive
sufficient funds resulted in the fail
ure Of the enterprise in 1880. Now
the project is receiving some atten-
ton, better feeling having been es-
tablished between the people of the
two countries.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. Argument
that those who already have confessed
as having caused the illegal transpor-
tation of explosives on passenger
trains to blow up non-union iron and
steel jobs was followed in the examin.
alton at the dynamite conspiracy"
trial of Frank M. Ryan, president Of
the International Association of Struc.
tural Iron Workers.
After the testimony of it's five hun
dred and forty-ninth witness, the gov
ernment closed its case and, on it's
own motion, had four of the As de-
PENDANTS dismissed on the ground that
the charges against them were not
sustained.
Resignation Of Hockin.
Before taking the stand as the first
witness for the defense, Mr.. Ryan an.
nounced the resignation of Herbert s.
Kockin as secretary-treasurer of the
union.
Hockin, defendant, was sitting in
court in custody of bailiffs, having
been unable to secure increased
bonds, ordered by the court nine days
ago, after witnesses described him as
a spy who had helped the McNamaras
organize the "dynamiting crew." and
then had given information to the
government and to detectives after
quarrels with the confessed dynamit-
ers.
Mr.. Ryan said Hockin's resignation
was voluntary. J. E. McClery of Cleve-
land succeeds Hockin.
Mr.. Ryan testified that neither he
nor the executive board members
knew of any money having been ex-
pended by Mcnamara for dynamiting
purposes. All the letters written by
him to business agents in various cit
les, which the government charges
contain yelled instructions about jobs
to be blown up, Ryan said simply re.
sferred to work upon which non-union
men were employed and upon which
it was desired to put non-uniop' men.
Did you ever talk to Ortie E. Nc.
Manigal about dynamiting or tell him
ito change his appearance oftener so
he would not be recognized?" asked
Attorney Harding.
Il hardly knew McManigal and Ger.
tainly never knew he was employed
as dynamiter for Mcnamara or any.
one else"
Ryan stated he never had visited a
vault in the iron workers healquar.
ters in Indianapolis where nitro-gly.
cerin and dynamite had been kept
and he never had proposed, as charged
that J. J. Mcnamara, then secretary
of the union, take Hockin's place, as
head of the "dynamiting crew." He
denied he had urged violence in the
unions strike called seven years ago
and which is still on.
Questioned why he inclosed in a let.

CONGRESS on. AGAIN
HOUSE AND SENATE CONVENE
FOR THREE MONTHS WORK
At WASHINGTON.
MO- Ely BILLS TO COME UP
Appropriation Measures Make Up the
Bulk Of the Program, to BE
Little Constructive
Legislation.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The house and
senate both convened at noon today
for the final session of the sixty.sec.
ond congress. They will remain at
work for about two weeks and then
adjourn for the holidays. Returning to
Washington early in January, the law.
makers will resume their labors,
which will come to an end March 4th
with the Inauguration of Mr.. Wilson
as president.
Appropriation bills will take up the
time OF congress almost exclusively,
and there is no expectation that any
amount of constructive legislation
can be accomplished before the
advent of the Democratic administra.
ton. The members must act upon
more than dozen bills carrying total
appropriations of over a billion dol
lars.
Two of the annual budgets are now
ready-the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill and the Dis
trict OF Columbia bill These, pos.
sibly. will be passed by the house and
sent over to the senate before the
Christmas adjournment. The naval,
military, postoffice, Indian, fortifica-
tons, diplomatic, pensions and minor
budgets must be passed in January
and February.
1t is apparent to experienced men,
bers that such big questions as the
tariff, the trusts and the currency
problem cannot be tackled in the
days intervening between December 2
and March 4. Congress will be forced
to appropriate at the rate of about
$l2,5OO,OOO per day in order to meet
the running expenses of the United
States government during the fiscal
year of 1913 This immense task prac.
tically precludes all hope of general
legislation and unusually fast work
