FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1902
UNCLE SAM'S family has grown wonderfully in the last ten years, especially by the adoption of his wards in Hawaii, Porto Rico, Guam, Samoa and the Philippines. The grand total now is 84,233,069.
THE farmers at the tail end of the rural routes will welcome the new rule that thev are to get their mail early in the day at least half the time. There has been a demand for this for a long time and it certainly has had common sense and justice behind it. "The first shall be last and the last first."
THE average cost of carrying one ton one mile over the roads of the United States by horse and wagon is 25 cents. Over the improved roads of Europe the oost is less than eight cents. Tt is gives some idea of the tremendous tax we pay for poor roads, a much larger amount surely than the building and maintalnance of good roads would cost.
A PLKA FOR PERMANENT CENSUS BUREAU. MORS than eleven million dollars were spent by this country upon the eleventh census bureau, yet when Mr. W. R. Merriam was appointed director of the twelfth census in 1899 all that he found remaining from the proceeds of that vast sum available for his purposes was an old typewriter, an aged horse, a useless wagon, a cart, a few scattered papers and records, a large number of census reports ond a few odds and ends of office furniture. In his article on the "Need of a Permanent Census Office," in the January number of the North American lieview, Mr. Merriam makes it clear that the sorry meagreness of this equipment was a very serious hindrance to his work, and that the system under which the census is regarded and treated as emergency work is inept and wasteful. The plea which he makes with great force for a permanent census office is one which has been urged by a number of his predecessors, and intelligent Americans will do well to consider carefully the reasons upon which he bases it.
It is of some importance to provide a career for those who wish to devote themselves to the study of statistics.
TWO EXTREMES.
The ruleB of the senate and of the houBe of representatives embody two .extreme and diametrically opposed ideas. The former allow the utmost freedom of debate and there is no way to bring any bill to a final vote on its merits until the entire body is ready.
The house rules, on the contrary, allow and in many cases force a vote on prop ositions of the greatest importance with little debate and no real discussion. There is just complaint against the senate when one or a few of its members defy the popular will and solely in the hope of defeating a measure which is supported by a majority, take advantage of the rules to obstruct its passage.
But thus far the pressure of public opinion has failed to induce the senate to change its old fashioned ways Perhaps on the whole it is just as well, especially so long as the house retains its present rules. The truth is tht the house has become a mere automatic registering machine which passes a bill or defeats one when the speakt and his committee on rules press the button. It is po longer a deliberative body where after a fair exchange of ideas and out of the conflict of opinions conclusions are reached. The present rules are subrtantially the same as those devised some years ago by Thomas B. Heed and followed by every congress since including the only one in which there has boon a Democratic majority during that time. They were adopted for the purpose of avoiding a continual struggle against the obstructive tactics of the minority, a condition which had become chronic. To such an extreme were these tactics carried that businees was frequently at the mercy of one obstreperous congressman. The new rules were welcomed as a relief from an intolerable condition and Speaker Reed as their originator became a hero. But after several years experience it appears that the rules might well be modified without ap»in£ into the old ways of obstruc-
tlon. It was then within the power of a small minority to say that a bill should not pass. Now it is within the power of a single committee of three to say whether or not a bill shall be brought up for consideration. Certainly it would not be unreasonable to suggest that the good old fashioned principle of majority rule might well be observed by the house as well as in the election of its members. Let the majority say what bill shall be considered. Let the majority determine how long the debate shall continue. The same advice might be given the senate. But as between the two the interests of the country will be safer under the rules of the senate.
TIIE SCARE OVER.
THE smallpox epidemic is over thanks to the untiring work of the health authorities, and we trust that the newspapers of neighboring towns which, with the exception of the Darlington Echo, have treated us with great consideration will spread the gooel news far and wide. There has never been a time when it was danger ous to come to Crawfordsville, and yet it was impossible for the truth to travel as fast ae the foolish falsehoods that were started from time to time, and the result has been that hundreds of peo pie have refused to come here for several weeks. It has been a costly experience to the town both in money'and trade, and yet there was no other course to pursue except the one which was pursued. Any other would have been in the end Infinitely more disas trous. The people are to be congratulated for the almost uniform support they have given the authorities and for the almost uniform good spirit with which they have accepted the inevitable.
The people outside ef Crawfordsville should remember that in protecting ourselves we were to a greater degree even protecting them. They can show their appreciation now by renewing their acquaintance with our merchants. There never was any danger in coming to Crawfordsville. Now there is not even the excuse for saying that there is danger.
An Interesting Old Relic.
Charley Richmond found an interesting old relic Tuesday while looking through an old chest of gunner's tools now his property, but once owned and used by O. W. Cory, the famous gunner who for many years fired salutes from his old cannon on all public occasions. Near the bottom of this chest carefully folded away was an old campaign banner, once no doubt as white as the principles it proclaimed, now yellow and bedimmed with age. With some difficulty this inscription could be made out:
FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP. For President. WILLIAM HKKRT HAIUUSON.
For Vice-President, JOHN TYLER. For Governor.
SAMUEL BllHJEll.
For Lieutenant-Governor, ••••..• SAMI'KT HALL.
Mr. Richmond naturally treasures the old banner very highly as it is a reminder of an interesting period in Indiana history, the campaign of 1840. An old account book kept by Mr. Cory was also found containing many curious entries.
Obituary.
Eulala Sue, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cowan, was born June 5, 1899, died January 18, 1902^ aged two years, seven months and thirteen days. Little Sue was a sweet child, possessed of many qualities unsurpassed in one so young, and thrilled the loving parents heart with joy when they would look into the little face which met you with a smile. A bright flower has been taken from us, a treasure that nothing of this earth can restore. For any one to know "Little Sue" was to love her. It is sad for us to give her up, yet we should remember that our loss is a gain to God. We should realize that the bitterer the cup we taste on this earth the sweeter the cup will be in the "Sweet Bye and Bye."
God needed one more ar.gel child. Amidst Ills sliming band And-so He bent with loving smile,
And clasped our darling's hand.

Obituary.
Otto L. Denny, son of Lewis and Ellen Denny, was born at Dover, Boone county, Indiana, May 22, 1877, and departed this life Jan, 18, 1902, at the home of his parents in Darlington, being at the time of his death 24 years, 7 months and 20 days old.

He was a printer by trade, and a faithful son and husband. He was laid to rest in the cemetery at Dover, Monday, Jan. 20, 1902. He leaves a devoted wife, mother, father, two sisters, and a host of friends and relatives to mourn his loss.

MEMORY.
Precious Otto, he lias left us, Left us to return no more. But we hope to meet our loved one
On the bright and shining shore.
Lonely the house and sad the hours Si ace our dear one has gone, I Jut a brighter home than ours
In heaven is now his own.
We mourn him as a liusb&nd. We mourn him as a son, For he has been a blessing
And often cheered us on.
But to the Lord we look for help, And when our work on earth is done, We'll join our lOTCd one over there,
In that bright and happy home.
Mrs. Hurt to Undergo an Operation. Special to The Journal.
WAYNETOWN, Ind., Jan. 29, 1902.— Mrs. Dr. Hurt, after havingl been confined to her sick bed for about seven weeks, has so nearly recovered as to be able to be taken to the Deaconess hospital at Indianapolis, where she will undergo a surgical operation for gall stones. Dr. Dunning, the professor of diseases of women and abdominal surgery in the Indiana Medical college, will perform the operation, and hopes to have her so nearly cured inside of a month as to return.to her home again. While Mrs. Hurt is detained at the hospital, the doctor will remain in the city so as to be with her a part of each day, spending the balance of his time attending the lectures and clinics iconducted by the medical college.
Death or J. W. Stroll's Father.
J. W. Stroh has received the news of the death of his father, Hugh Stroh, which occurred Tuesday evening at Coldwater, Mich. The cause of death was presumably old age, as he was eighty-seven years old. The funeral occurred Thursday at Quincy, Mich., but none of the family here attended because it was impossible for them to reach Quincy in time for the serv' ices. The oldjgentleman had at different times made his home with his son and had a number of friends here.
Ready For the Carpenters.
The brick masons have finished the the brick work at the plant of the Crawfordsville Wire & Nail Co. up to the place where it is ready for the roof. The contractor is now waiting on some big timbers, which have to be shipped from the south. The material is expected almost any day.
February 8 Is the Date.
The date for selecting delegates to the congressional convention at Kokomo is February 8 instead of March 8, as announced in THE JOURNAL else where.

For Prosecutor.
Joseph H. McBroom, better known to the public as "Joe" McBroom, today announces his candidacy for prosecuting attorney. Mr. McBroom is a self-made young man, having taken care of himself since early childhood. He worked his way through Wabash college, graduating with the class of '97, and since that time has been engaged in the study and practice of law, with the exception of a few months service in the volunteer army during the Spanish. American war. He had considerable experience as deputy prosecutor during Mr. Reeves' first term of office and in all his practice has deserved and held the esteem and confidence of the court and bar. He has always been an out-and-out Republican and his services to the party have been limited only by his opportunities.
Witiman, Lou 119 !. Washington St.
His record is a clean one, highly creditable to himself and a source of pride to his friends who bespeak for him ah solute integrity, industry, and professional ability not marred by any tendencies to sensationalism. He would make a thoroughly capable prosecutor.
A Skin Game.
A few years ago when the Indianapolis building and loan associations were doing a land office business among the citizens of the small towns over the state, a certain association called the Equitable secured a lot of stockholders in Crawfordsville. It Is now in the hands of the receiver and the local members are receiving notices to disgorge not only any dividends they may have received but also about sixty per cent of the capital invested. Among those who held stock are John Kostinzer, John McClelland, Nye & Booe, Harry Naylor, George Steele, Charles Galey, Ben Hastings, John Bonnell, M. B. Binford and Mrs. Ida Reynolds. John Booe has been advised by his attjrney at Indianapolis, Winfield Moffett, that the only thing to do is to pay up.
A False Report.
A false report has been going the rounds of the state press that the mortgage exemption law had been held unconstitutional by the supreme court. THE JOURNAL published itn from the Eokomo Dispatch. The truth is that the law is now being tested in the supreme court but no decision has been handed down as yet. The suit has been taken from Marion county, and Monday the attorney-general filed a motion to have the case advanced so that county treasurers all over the state may know what course to pursue.
No Fusion iu Boone County.
The Populists and Democrats of Boone county tried to effect a fusion last Saturday, but were unsuccessful. The Populists wanted either treasurer, recorder or auditor, and the Democrats wanted to put them^off with a representative and one of the county councilmen. The Populists thereupon declared that they would have nothing more to do with Democrats and a full Populist ticket will be put up.—Prankfort Xews.
