Where
ABRAHAM LINCOLN THE GREAT.
We are citizens of the United States,
We love and honor its Flag;
From Liberty's Hall to the present
date
1t has never trailed nor dragged.
We love its great men true;
Both living and the dead
For what they yet may do
As well as what they've said.
We come with honor for the date.
The state and country too.
That gave us Lincoln the great
And for what he dared to do.
He arose from the humblest cottage,
In the old Kentucky state;
To the house of his honored party,
Where many great men wait.
What he was, was greater still
Than many things he'd done
His life was one with duty filled,
Rather than a victory won.
The early stages of his life
Tell many tragic tale,
OF a little old country school life
And of those old walnut rails.
or his mother dying for medical aid (:
OF her rude old coffin he made;
OF his father who worked at cabinet
trade;
And of answer to the prayer she
prayed.
1t was then his first letter he wrote
To the circuit rider he prayed
TC stop when on that road,
And pray over his mothers grave.
He ascended high the ladder of fame,
And stopped at every round.
And made for himself mighty name,
Though starting from the ground.
He was the choice for President,
This union to preserve;
Not TO abolish slavery. but prevent
It's onward spread, and hold re-
serve.
But soon the war was on.
Twas his TO guide this ship.
For two long years he held it strong
And never slackened his grip.
Emancipation proclamation
Was issued in siXty-three;
1t seemed handed down from creation
Just to set those prisoners free.
On the battlefield at Gettysburg,
In a heroic speech, he said
| Four score and seven years ago,
Our light on a new nation shed.
Conceived in liberty, | must say
That men are equally horn.
The test that comes to us today
Is why should this con ntinue on.
This is the final resting place
OF men who gave their lives
To free this coming race,
And to show our country wise.
This ground we cannot consecrate,
But the brave living and dead;
Who struggled here did consecrate
Far above cur power to aid.
The world will little note,
Nor even remember long,
Nor could We even quote
The work they carried on.
II can never be forgotten:
The work they finished here.
Though this field be begotten.
BY the blood they shed here.
From the honored dead we take
Our devotion to increase.
And every step in life we make
We will dedicate to peace.
And that we may now resolve,
That in vain they have not died;
And that all nations under God,
Have new birth in Freedom
pride.
That on earth shall ever be
A government for the people,
And by the people free.
Dedicated to the world, both YOU
and me.

the immortal speech, and then sat
down. When we take into account
that Mr.. Baxter has never been a
public speaker, but a hard working
man all his life, that he is now
eighty years of age, it was really
wonderful performance, and shows
a mind well preserved indeed.

affectionate and home-loving child
the love between them was as
great as if they were of the same
blood.
A year ago the family came to
Plymouth and Alpha at once enter
ed the public school and won the
love and esteem of teachers and
schoolmates. On Feb. "a she was
taken suddenly sick with pneumonia
the best of medical aid was at once

Sunday, March 81, was the day
set for Miss Chase to visit Ro-
chester in the interest Of Teacher
Training work A class of four
were ready for graduation in this
study, these being the first students
to complete the course in all Of
Fulton county. The meeting was at
the Evangelical church, and few in
Rochester and Fulton county are
beginning to see the advantages to
be derived from this course of study.
Miss Chase was there to tell them
of the work done in Marshall county
and to explain the details to them.
Miss Chase has been responsible
for much of the success that has been
attained in this county, and the
splendid results are a source of
pride for the whole Christian com
munity.
When asked how the meeting was,
as to her part in the performance,
she said that the one who had to
listen was the one to be pitied, bat
Plymouth and Marshall county peo-
L pie know that Miss Chase did her
part well. She ventured the In
formation that one remarkable
thing about the four graduates who
were given diplomas, was the fac,
that in all the examinations on al
subjects, not of them, on any sub
ject, fell below 80 and one-fifth pei
cent. So that If the quantity wa.
not so large, they of the first grad
uates Of Fulton county, may make
lelaim to very good quality.

Mr. Graham was the Taft candi-
date and Mr.. Jones was for Roose-
velt. Up to the time Of Mr.. Gra-
hams election the convention was
in the usual good order Of such con-
ventions, with some few exceptions.
Mr.. Graham soon brought trouble.
According to the rules each county
was to appoint one member each on
the Rules, Credentials and Resolu-
tions Committees. The call of the
counties began for the naming Of
these members. When Fulton was
called there were two sets Of men,
bers to report. The Roosevelt
men, in the majority with one set,
and the Taft men, in the minority,
with another set. The control of
the credentials committee depended
on this member, for each side had
three from the other counties. Mr.
Graham recognized the Taft men,
bers and refused to recognize the
Roosevelt members. Fulton county
demanded roll call Of the county
to see which set of members should
be accepted. The chairman refused
to allow roll call. His decision
was appealed from and he refused
to recognize or put the appeal.
From this time on pandemonium
reigned, practically to the end Of
the convention. Chairman Graham
and the Taft men held their heads.
Evidently the Roosevelt men lost
theirs, in their yelling to prevent the
chairman from proceeding with the
business until he had recognized
their demand for q roll call of Full
ton county.
Mr.. Graham asked for the report
from Kosciusko county.

Defenders.

1t is the usual custom of the
ladies of the Relief Corps, at the
time of the annual installation of
officers, to give a banquet to the
of the G.. A. r. and a few
invited friends. Owing to the cold
weather at the time, and absence
from the city Of a number Of those
interested, this was delayed until
Monday evening.
The hall occupied by the veterans
and these aides is over the Jacox
novelty store, and there were gather
ed jolly company of near eighty
people. After the refreshments
were servel, and all cleared away,
the President, Mrs. j. D. Fields,
raped for order, and after a song,
"Tenting On The Old Camp
Ground,' was announced that the
evening would be given over to
hearing some of the old soldiers
present tell experiences of army life.
1t was to be "Camp Fire. such as
the veterans enjoy more than all
else.
The President first called on Com
rade George Baxter, and gave him
the cue thst he was to give Lincoln g
Gettysburg speech. Mr.. Baxter first
gave an ottline sketch of the great
est battle Of the war, and perhaps
of the world, told the number of
men engaged on each side, and the
commandes, aod the number of kill
ed. While not in the battle, Mr..
Baxter has been over the battle
field, and is familiar with the de-
tails, having studied it thoroughly.
He told o. the purchase and dedi-
cation of portion for National
cemetery or the soldier dead, and
how Mr.. Lincoln stepped to the
front of he platform and delivered
his short but prophetic speech, a
speech tht has lived and will live
as long g the nation shall stand.
In his relition of the events of that
day, Mr.. ]axter came to the moment
when the martyred President was
called for and advancing a step to

In a convention marked by the
most exciting and tumultous pro-
ceedings, the Taft men of the
Thirteenth district technically chose
their delegates to the national re-
publican convention at Chicago in
the meeting at Warsaw Tuesday.
The Roosevelt supporters also chose
delegates, and while they vert chos-
en- in a more business-like and or
derly manner, they probably have
not the warrant of parliamentary law
to uphold the selection.
Taft Delegates.
Clement Studebaker, Jr., South
Bend.
Maurice Fox, La Porte.

Lyman NJ Bracket, Rochester.
Jacob Mclaughlin, KOsciusko
County.
Roosevelt Delegates.
Fred w. Keller, South Bend.
P. R. Judkins, Elkhart.
AIternates.
E. B. Smith, Warsaw.
DIR. S. C. Loring, Plymouth.
Although the call did not provide
for electors, they were named. The
Taft men chose A. j. Rumely of La
Porte as elector and DIR. F. NJ. Bur-
kett of Plymouth as contingent
eiector. The Roosevelt men named
Harry E. johnson of Starke county
and E. j. Dowd of Fulton county as
cntingent elector.
First Part Smooth Enough.
The first part of the convention
was smooth enough. District chair
man Fred Woodward acted with the
utmost fairness and has the thanks
of the district for the splendid man
ner in which he conducted the bust
ness up to the time he left the
chair.
The first real contest, and In fact
the only one of the entire conven-
ton, was on the election of chair
man. Mr.. A. G. Graham of South
Bend was elected by half a vote
over Aaron Jones Of South Bend

notice; because of the splendid treat
ment he received from the CONNER
cial Club committee; because he fell
in love with the city as soon as he
saw it; because Plymouth is located
on the great trunk line railway lead
ing to the east and west; because we
were close to Chicago. These were
the impelling reasons certainly
enough for any factory, and our
people are proud all are the facts.
The Factory.
The new factory will be one for
the making of fine printing presses.
As sooh as the old McCallum wagon
works building is repaired for use.
Mr.. Miehle will move his machinery
to Plymouth and begin the manu-
faeture of presses. He does not ex-
pect to make more than about 25
machines the first year, and he will
have at first only about 20 skilled
workers in the shop. The business is
of such a nature that it is neces-
sary to train the skilled men to
their particular work, said Mr..
Meihle, and it will take some time
to get them educated for the work.
The company will ship to Plymouth
about $4,000 worth of fine machin-
cry as soon as the building is ready
for it. And it will not be long be-
fore another $4,000 will be needed.
The newt buildings must first be
erected, however.
The great need of floor space is
the thing in this factory. The old
Miehle plant occupies eight acres
The Plymouth plant will continue to
spead until it may occupy as large an
area. The Commercial Club will
agree to deed to the Miehle company
the six acres and buildings when the
company has paid out in wages the
! sum of about $180,000.

Plymouth will get good big
factory at once. This fact was nail
ed down at very enthusiastic mass
meeting of citizens at the city hall
last night.
In Just one day and night over
$4,000 was raised for the project,
which will in two years give Plym-
outh a high class factory employing
at least 200 men at good wages.
The plant is to be that OF new
company for the manufacturers OF
fine printing presses. Mr.. Robert
Miehle and son are the owners, and
will invest In the enterprise about
100000.
Mr.. Miehle is the inventor, and
up to a year ago was one OF the
company making, the celebrated
Miehle printing press. Every print
er and newspaper man In the world
knows about the Miehle printing
press. 1t is considered the best
ever made and is installed in at
least three fourths of the job print
ing establishments of the United
States.
About a year ago Mr. Miehle sold
out his interest In the Miehle PRINT
ing Press Manufacturing Co. and
has organized within his own family
a new concern called the Robert
Miehle Printing Press Manufactur-
ing Co. He has a number of new
patents which greatly improve up
on the press the old company are
making. These he will make the
basis of his new product.
How Bonus Was Raised.
At the outset the raising of a
bonus of nearly $4,000 seemed a
very big tas k-and it was. Without
the Commercial club as a pushing
power it would have been impossible.
The sale of lots last fall was the
bass of the success attending efforts
Thursday and Thursday night. By
means of the money received for lots
and the contracts made for Others
the club was able to get about
$4,000.
Another plan was for the club fo
give 500 notes and have these IL
dorsed by good men. The remain.
der of the amount was and is being
raised by cash subscriptions. The
various amounts as they stood to-
day were as follows:
From Lot Sales and Con-

were in consultation with the COM
