I J WEEG nil VOLUME 56 PLYMOUTH, INDIANA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2 1911 NUMBER 5 CLY CAN 1 n 1 V V r ) .r W LL BE IT II New Saloon Bill Passed By Democratic Majority Is Signed By- Governor . Marshall Today And Becomes Law At Once. Governor Marsball signed the new "township and city option bill Monday and as a resu!f. Marshall county be comes "wet" on March 4 next. , The passage of this law will come as a surprise to those temperance democrats who during the last elec tion refused to believe that a demo cratic legislature would repeal the county option law. Representative Adam Wise made a fierce attack on the county option law just before the vote was taken which . passed the measure. lie declared that life was elected by the biegest majority ever given a representative elected from this county and that he was elected to repeal the county option law! This again will be astonishing news to manv, vet all who wished to. knew that. Mr. Wise was person ally and politically opposed to the county option law. The provisions of the law are such that it does not leave "dry" ter ritory dry .until voted wet again, as justice would distate, but it automatically makes all territory wet regardless of the -votes taken in the different counties. The - act strikes out the word county as the unit .and. substitutes the -words ity, township and townships outside 1he city limits" a& the units. The legislators could not wait for the law to pro into effect in ordinary course after the Acts were publish ed and distributed, as was done when the county option law. was passed, but made the act take effect at once, as soon as signed by the Governor, by adding an emergency lause. - This feature of the law places airain on the temperance people the burden of securing twenty per cent of the voters to sign a petition for an election, where as that burden, in all justice, ought to have been put upon those desiring saloons. This is the main injustice of the act, for there are honest differences as to whether the unit ought to be the county or the township and city. There is talk of a petition from Plymouth to the next meeting of the commissioners to ask for an election in the city to see whether we shall have saloons here or not. It is ."thought by any that the city would vote "dry" if given an opportunity. TO GIVE NEW CANTATA Mozart Club Wid Give "Hymn of Trust about May First.

DEPOTS EDITORS STRONG ENDORSEMENT FOR THE SPLENDID ACHIEVE MENT OF THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION - i . .: ; NOTES OF HARMONY Addresses at Banquet and Meeting Show That .Republicans are Ready ;to Get To- i gether. - -- ; The addresses, at th3 banquet of the State Republican Editorial As sociation and at. the session? yest r day show that there is a deep feel ing of desire all over the state f ji Republicans to get together. There was not a discordant note in all the meeting and the general tone and sentiment was that all could unite on common ground and work together for success. x work together for sue cess. The resolutions adopted in the af ternoon gave the strongest endorse ment passible to. the Taft adminis tration and on this the editors were unanimous. The, resolutions were as follows: 1 'We endorse heartily and unresrve edly the patriotic and progressive administration of President William II. Taft, and pledge to it the loyal support of the Republican Pre w of Indiana. No -administration . has been characterized by larger achieve ment for the common good in the consideration and ' settlement of questions vitally affecting the wel fare of the American people. We note with gratification the in creasing popular appreciation of tho great work in which the President has been arid is now engaged, and we predict that the administraticn will continue to grow in favor as the value of its service to the coun try is more fully developed. It re quires for its complete vindication only a thorough dissemination ot the facts, and to the accomplishment of this end the Republican News papers of Indiana pledge their unit ed effort. We earnestly appeal to all the Republicans of Indiana to rally with us on common ground in support and defense of the splendid achieve ments and policies of the present administration. So united, we may face with courage and confidence the Campaign of 1912 in state anl na tion. We predict that before the close of the present legislature the vrters of Indiana will be anxously awaiting the opportunity to return to power the party that for twelve (12) yeara conducted so wisely and well the affairs of the state. x Extravagance, offensive partisanship and prostitu tion of the State's penal, benevolent and charitable institutions to the base uses of political machine, have characterized the present state ad ministration and represent a back ward step in government inconsistent with the progressive character ot Indiana citizenship. The Democratic legislative majori ty, in the repeal of the county local option law at the behest of the liquor interests, and in defiance of the will of the people as clearly ex pressed in the several county option elections, has committed a political outrage on the voters of Indiana for which it ought to, and we predict will, be called to account. We deplore the tragic death of 'David Graham Phillips, journalist, author and among the foremost men of the day in literature. Today his memory is being honored at his funeral service by the Literary World and 'his untimely death is generally mcumed. Born and educated in In diana, Mr. Phillips grew to success in newspaper work in America and Europe. He realized his ambition as an author and we deplore his death as a loss to the press as wall as to the countrv.V The staement in the Indianapolis I NPwa tlifir thprp trn in nmmi r r PP " considerable discussion of the ad visability of condemning the progres sive wing of the Republican party" is absolutely without any fundation whatever.

Mr. Losey said he would be one of a hundred to give $100; Mr. Clizbe thought the membership fee should be $100; and Mr. Cleveland suggested the plan of $5 a month payments to meet any project that might be undertaken by the club. He would be one of fiftv or a hW 1 treasury. When we have the finan cial backing we can talk business, he said. The newspapers can boost, but if they have no backing it amounts to little. There were others who thought much could be accomplished without a large amount of money and that we should get to the larger things as the club grew in experience and strength.
