A SUGGESTION.

1t has been suggested to the Re-
publican that it would be much more
convenient for coal and wood deal
ers, grocers, meat markets, etc., if
People would leave all the orders
they possibly could until such a day
as yesterday. 1t was SO nice a day
to get around, for both horses and
men, that orders for rush delivery
are always appreciated.
Many people usually put off the
ordering of coal or wood until Just
such a day as yesterday, when they
could as we'll order it at some other
time. They do not stop to think
what it means to the men and
horses.
Let us always have a care for the
comfort and happiness of others.
Order your stuff on a nice day if
possible; don't put it off until the
worst day of the year and then tell
the man to hurry.

The Tariff Board.

The Democratic House cannot af-
ford to starve the Tariff Board. 1t
should, on the contrary, support it
literally. The country has had
more than enough of superficial,
partisan, ex-parte tariff investiga-
ton. 1t wants something different
"a comprehensive, disinterested, in
telligent inquiry into the impor-
tant facts. There is no good reason
to doubt that the Tariff Board is
willing and able to supply this want.
No such inquiry was ever before IN
dertaken in this country. To organ
lie its staff and map out the ground
work cost the board months of time
and great deal of money. 1t is
now In good running order and. as
must always be the case with every
similar body, it gains in efficiency
with experience. To check the board
now would mean to throw away, in
good part, the time, effort and money
that have been expended in organiza-
ton and preliminary work-leaving
all that costly work of organizing a
staff and mapping out the ground to
be done over again at some later
day; for if this Tariff Board doesn't
do it some future Tariff Board will.
The country will not be content un-
til 1t has tariff inquiry of this
scope and nature.
Congress, of course, is not i'm the
least bound by the boards conclu-
sions. In the woodpulp and wool
reports the board presents body of
facts that are above the suspicion
of party bias: Different conclusions
may be derived from these facts. ac-
cording to the tariff leanings of the
eoncluder; but there is basis of
Fact to begin with. No one can at
Tack the board without giving oc-
casion for suspicion that he pre-
fers conclusions first and facts after

N A r r I A g e s.


Ralph Kline and Miss Erma
Sanner were married at the resi-
dence of the bride in south Plym-
outh at two O'Clock Sunday after
noon, Feb. 25, 1912.
This was a surprise indeed. Every
body knows these two young people,
and everyone has expected thew
would be married, of course, but
none the less all were taken un-
awares.- At Sunday School the In
quiry was "Where is Ralph and
Erma ~ No one knew. and it was
supposed they had taken a sudden
notion to 60 visiting, but meanwhile
preparations for a wedding were be-
ing made, and at the hour appointed
Rev. w. c. Logan was there, with
company of some twenty rela-
tives and friends, and with Miss
Minnie Swindell playing the Wedding
march the popular young couple
came in, and the words that make
them husband and wife were spok-
en-, and they were pronounced one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kline need no in
PRODUCTION to Plymouth people. The
groom is the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Kline living east of the city,
and the bride is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Nelson Sanner, and has
been a school girl here for several
years. They are both most estima-
bic people, and this event in their
lives is the result of a sincere de-
votion to each other.
After q short visit with relatives
near Culver, they will return, and
for the present reside with Mr..
kline's people on the farm.
They have the good wishes of
hosts of friends, who hope their
lives will be long and happy.

misleading information.

A
Mrs. McKesson had been visiting
with her parents near Tyner since
Tuesday of last week, and it was
the intention at first to return on
Saturday, but she changed her mind
and sent word to her husband that
she would stay over Sunday, and
come home Monday. Mr.. McKesson
then decided that he would 90 and
visit over Sunday also, and return
with his family Monday, and had
arranged with some one to attend
to his home fires, etc.
Meanwhile the accident that
caused the death of the child occur
ed. as stated. The little fellow
found and ate some tablets that
were in a box, was thrown into
commissions, and died as was given
out. When Mr.. McKesson reached
Tyner he learned from DR.. Thomp-
son of the illness of his son, and
went out to where they were. The
cause of the illness of the child was
not APPARENT until the morning after
its death, when the empty box was
discovered. The symptoms when
the physician arrived were of poison,
but it was not thought that any
poison was about the house. 1t is
of course possible had the true situa
ton been known at first, the life of
the child might have been saved,
but this is only supposition at best.
1t is a sad case, and the sympathy
of the entire community is with the
bereaved parents and other rela-
tives.

CHILDREN WORTH SAVING?

Are the children Of the United
States worth one-eighth as much as
the bugs?
Hon. Andrew j. Peters, a member
of Congress from Massachusetts,,
asked this rather startling question
at Louisville recently at a mass
meeting on child labor. Mr.. Peters
showed that the Bureau of Animal
Industry costs the country s., 1884,
$50 a year, and that the Bureau of
Plant Industry costs $2,O51, 1856. The
proposed children's bureau would
cost $29,440 and would investigate
child labor, infant mortality and
other important phases Of child
conservation.
1t is being opposed, of course, by
some manufacturers who want to
employ babies in cotton-mills, coal
mines and other places admirably
adapted for the growth of mind and
body and the development of sturdy
American men and women. In some
quarters the investigation of child
labor is regarded as an unwarrant-
ed invasion of personal liberty.
Certainly! Public schools were so
regarded in their early days.
The Journal of the American
Medical Association says. that no
doubt We shall soon have a Nation
al League for Juvenile Freedom,
secretly financed by the coal and
cotton barons, and demanding for
the child the right to labor when
and where it pleases. In the mean
time, if Congress thinks the baby
crop is worth as much, or one-tenth
as much, as the fruit crop, chill
dren's bureau should be established
without delay.

must be done to save these roads or
they ara gone. In few years the
cost of maintaining the gravel
roads of the county will absorb the
greater part of the county's revenue
unless something more lasting i,
accomplished in their preservation.
1t is probable the commissioners
will adopt a system of road drain
age that will be of great benefit.
The above from the Knox Repub-
lican gives an idea of the trouble
that can come from improper con-
struction of even a stone road. Let
Marshall county profit by the ex-
perience of others, and build right,
or not at all.

KICKING THE DOG AROUND.

That the Proctor liquor regula-
ton law was "thrown together by
members of the last legislature, and
that the intent of that body is not
made at all clear in some parts of
the act, was the opinion expressed
by Roscoe o. Hawkins, of Marion
county, special judge, who heard the
argument on the appeal of James
Seaman from the decision of the
board of county commissioners re-
voking and suspending Seaman 8
saloon license.
The above taken from the North
ern Indianian, voices the sentiment
OF a good many people. In recent
case In a neighboring town where
Attorney W. B. Hess of this city
acted as special Judge, and Hon.
Adam +. Wise was an attorney, it
was necessary for Mr.. Wise to state
that he was a member of the legis-
lature that made the present law,
and that when he worked for it,
and voted for it, he understood it to
mean as he was then telling the
court. Without expressing any
opinion In the case which was de-
!cided by Judge Hess as it appeared
to him, and very probably according
to law, is it not true that special
judge Hawkins of Marion. is right
when he says it is not clear in some
parts9 If it is not plain and clear
cut, why is it not? Are the men
who compose our legislature un-
able to express clearly their meaning

listing laws ?-Or didn't they want

In a paper containing the results
of careful study of 100 children
ranging from birth to 13 years of
age, DIR. Richard B. Smith, of Grand
Rapids, Mich, concludes in recent
issue of To Journal Of the Ameri-
can Medi Il Association, that the
frail child presents the following
fundamental characteristics: Frail-
ness, lack of fat, slenderness of
muscle, lack of vigor in body de-
velopment. The muscular insuffici-
encies of later life in frail women
are common in frail children. The
lessened ability of such a woman to
fulfil the duties imposed on her, the
limitations placed on here by her
lack of vigor and the unhappiness
which such women in a state of
fatigue endure are serious matters
with her. More might be done in
the way Of prevention. The frail
child should be more clearly recog-
nized and its tendencies more In
diligently fought. In a large num-
Der of instances . it is possible to
maintain a fair state of nutrition in
such children and to direct them to
a more vigorous womanhood. When
such is uniformly done, it will do
away, to a certain extent, with the
neurotic women who form such a
problem in everyday practice and
in almost every speciality.

more years, and had been gradually
growing worse from year to year
until the end. Mr.. Gibson moved
from the farm southeast of Plym-

GRAVEL ROADS.

commissioners was held Monday for
the purpose of considering what
can be done to save the gravel and
stone roads. The trustees and
road superintendent were in attend

cussing this problem. No official ac-

census of opinion that nothing but .
better system of road drainage
would save the roads and lessen the
expenses Of keeping them in repair.
The comfy now has over 300 miles
of poorly constructed gravel and
stone roads. These roads, for the

Jones McKesso

The community was shocked Sun
day morning when it became known
that the little three year old boy of
Mr. and Mrs. DELPHI L. McKesson
had died Saturday evening.
The family were visiting rela-
tives near Tyner, and had arranged
to remain over Sunday. Mr.. Nc
kesson was at Tyner waiting for
the train to come and attend to the
fires at his home, and then to go
back on later train, and be with
his family over Sunday.
While waiting at the station he
was informed by DR.. Thompson that
he had call to 90 and see his little
boy about mile in the country, and
Mr.. McKesson returned with him.
1t was at first reported that some
one who was shooting with a gun
had frightened the child so badly
that it fell over in commissions, and
that this caused its death. But
there was no truth in this report.
The child had found some tablets
that were in the house, and had
eaten box of them, and was taken
with spasms, and died soon after the
doctor and Mr.. McKesson arrived at
the house, at about eight o'clock
Saturday evening.
1t is indeed sad case, and the
grief stricken parents have the
sympathy of all. The boy was a
fine little fellow the pride of his
parents, and loved by all who knew
him.
The body was brought to Plymouth
Monday morning, and the funeral
held at the house at 2:30, Rev. S.
H. Yager officiating.

EAT II s


Mildred Hardy was born in South
Bend, April 20, 1900, and died at
her mothers home Feb. "a, 1912, at
4:30 p. IN. aged IL years, 10 months
and days.
Hildred was the youngest child
| of Mr.. and Mrs. James N. Hardy.
When she was an infant the family
moved to Arkansas, where the
father died, and when she was about
one year old they came to Plymouth,
where the family has since resided.
The father died of typhoid fever,
and was buried in Arkansas.
Besides her mother, Mrs. Eliza
beth Hardy, she leaves one brother,
William, two sisters, Grace and
Ethel, her grandmother, Mrs. Geo.
Kaufman, besides many other rela-
tives and friends.
Hildred has never been real
strong. and year ago she suffered
severely with acute rheumatism.
For several months she has been
afflicted with Bright's disease, but
was thought to be recovering in a
degree, until Tuesday when she was
suddenly taken worse, and after
lingering till Saturday evening died.
The funeral was held at the
home on west Adams street at ten
o clock a. m. Tuesday, Feb. ~, and
the funeral party took the 11:57
Vandalia train to South Bend, where
she was buried beside a brother
who died while they were residents
of that city.
