Do It Now.
This is a good time to begin keep
ing your sidewalk clean. It is easy
now,, but will be hard if you wait
till the soft snow is- trampled . and
melted and frozen into Ice. How
fine it would be if for the remaind
er of the winter every householder
in the city would keep'his sidewalk
clean.
"Do it now." It may save some
one a bad falL
Consider It Precious.
According to reports from Indian
apolis the pen with which Gover
nor Marshall signed the death war
rant of the county option law is
considered very precious by demo
crats of the state. One would
think instead that the editors and
politicians would be afraid to touch
it. The reports says:
"Senator Proctor vill be present
ed with the pen with which Gov
ernor Marshall signs the death of
the eounty unit. The author of the
liquor law will keep the relic in his
possession until Friday night, when
he will present it to the Indiana
Democratic Editorial Association at
its annual midwinter banquet, to be
held at the Denison Hotel. Sena
tor Shively will make a -speech up
on the presentation of the pen. and
it will Ik? accepted by the association
in an address by Senator Carleton.
who is a newspaper man at Evans-
ville and a member of the associa
tion." , -
A Commercial Club.
If you don't want to live in i
citv that has a irood, live coiumercia
men's organization, vou had better
prepare to move out of Plymouth
Because Plymouth js going to
have such an organization, and it is
going to do something. The feeling
of thoe more than sixty men who
met at the council chamber to star
a movement for a commercial club
was sufficient to show to anyone
that they meant businessthat thej
were not going to form any sort of
a club which woud pass away with
the gentle xephyrs of springtime.
"We have no doubt at all that j
good club will be formed and tha
it will be permanent, coin? much
good for the city. There I n rea
son why Plvmouth cannot ha ,ueh
a club as well as any other e . I
is not necessary that the men in i
be wealthy and "throw" their money
in order to induce factories and
other good industries to come here
There are a hundred things for
the good of the city which can be
-done by a good club of live, energetic
inen whC are billing to work for th
advancement 91 the community.
And those' things do not take a vast
sum of money either.
It is altogether probable that the
new elub will have at least seventy
five members. That many is not at
all necessary to success, however.
A dozen men can make the c.-ganiz-ation
a success, if they are deter
mined and enthusiastic. ..An or
ganization of from fifty to seventy
oaght to make a "whirlwind" in a
city of this size.
Helping: the People
President Taft and Senator Be re-
ridge are working- hard to iret
reciprocity with Canada at the
present session of congress. It is
reported that if a bill putting many
things on the free list is not passed,
tb President will call a special
session to get it done.
The desire for reciprocity is caused
by the general efforts the admin
istration is making to decrease the
cost of living. -
By cutting down expenses at
every possible point and decreasing
the cost of commodities wherever it
may be done arid not injure any
industry, the President Is doing
everything in his power to hel
the people.-
The people will apprecite his ef
forts because they are "getting direct
and snpstantial benefits.
According to the agreement, find
the bill, raw food products of near
ly all kinds, including fish and
dairy products, will be placed on the
free list." So will sheep and cattle.
Canada will let in cotton oil free
and the United States 'will let in
Canadian rcagh lumber; and pulp
" anä paper under certain conditions;
and tin plate, as also will Canada.
Fresh meats, canned vegetables nnd
partially manufactured food pro
ducts generally will be mutually re
dnced. The same will be true with
a variety of manufactured goods
such as vehicles, sanitary fixtures,
cutlery, watches and clocks, Ieathei
goods and phrte glass. Canada will
reduce duties on agricultural ma
chinery to the level of those of the
.United State. There. will be various
other reductions as, for instance,
on coaL
The various provisions indicate
hat trade will be possible on much
he same basis'as -between states if
he agreement is favorably acted up
on by the two nations.
Don't Get Too Much.
The Rev. Jenkins Lloyd Jones of
Chicago in speaking before the
students of Butler college at Indian
apolis the other day said that too
much education was a bar to both
wealth and political preferment.
"If you students are expecting to
get rich quickly," said the eminent
divine, "don't get too far into your
studies. If you wish to become
famous in politics, you'd better
drop off at your sophomore year."
This will be a new idea to those
who have heard invincible figures
proving the greater earning ability
of college graduates over those un
educated or partly educated.
The view of Rev. Jones should
not be misunderstood, however. J
His position is that deep study and
the consequent realization of the
true conditions in the political and
financial world make it impossible
for the student to enter either with
that zeal which brings success.
Not all will agree with the preach
er on his proposition, but there is
enough in it to make thinking
people think.

The Country Church
Is the country church to disappear?
Is the question put by a missionary
of the American Sunday School
Union, Mr. J. W. McKean. Mr. Mc
Kean is merelv emphasizing con
tlitions which already have been re
cognized.
A staff correspondent for The Star,
traveling through Missouri last Octo
1 i i 1 Ail
hpr. wrnTo nn I hp nnssiiT nr t ha
country church. In Boone County h
fund ten country churches that had
been abandoned "in the last ten vearss.
Dean Mumford of the department
of airrieulture of the Missouri State
University, and G. B. Ellis, for ten
venrs secretarv of the state board
of agriculture, agreed that conditions
in Boone County were typical of
those throughout the state.
One reason, they believed, was the
removal. of many of the more sub
sfantial families to the towns, which
left too heavy a pecuniary burden
for. those that were left to carrv.
Mr. McKean suggests that the trou
ble is a failure on the part of the
parishioners to realize that ministers
"cannot live on pumpkins and beans
with ,nowv and then a few dollarj
thrown in."
But if "people neglect an establish
ed institution and fail to support
it, the najnral inference is that in
some way it is getting out of touch
with its constituents, and failing to
meet their needs. In this case is the
trouble with the communitv or with
the Church, or is it due tö unavoid
able natural causes f Whatever the
"cause the phenomenon is important.
The Church has been a great Ideal
Istip influence in the country. Is
this flicker out, and if so, what is
to take its place?
A country church goer asks tnät
the above article be published in the
Republican, and he wishes to add
that the same is almost true of the
various communities in JN ort hern
Indiana, while few churches have
been abandoned entirely, the con
gregations and membership rolls are
miserably small.
Old established churches should be
kept up, if for no other reason than
of having been built years ago and
well worth keeping as a neighbor
hood relic. The writer is of the be
lief that just as substantial people
are living1 in the country as there
ever were. The youth are being
crowded from the rural districts in.
to the city schools, and the idea
seems to da prevalent that the coim
try church is not fancy enough. The
spirit rekindled in the young people
will bring back the older ones into
service fn the neighborhood.
One communitv wav be cited that
has a working Sunday school and
church service, known as the Jacoby
or St. John Church, three miles east
of Plymouth, which stands as an old
land mark, but alive with push-ahead-young
and old people working
hand in hand. The house is near
ly always filled, though some have
driven for quite a distance. 41 A

Dan Wilson the congenial proprie
ter of the Merchantile Store at 117

good everything he says.
A customer came into the store,,
and was looking at a suit of clothes,
the price of which was eight dollars
The customer said he would buy
the clothes if Mr. Wilson would ex
change the suit he (Mr. Wilson) wore
for the new suit. Of course Mr.
Wilson agreed in a laughing way, so
the customer bought the clothes and
thereby stung Mr. Wilson, fcr he
had just bought his suit, and paia
forty-five dollars for it.
The man "who got the clothes is
now strutting around on his farm
with pride to think that he can weai
a forty-five dollar suit for only
eight dollars.
