We believe that Judge Clark, of the Hendricks Circuit Court, correctly declared the law when he decided Thursday that the state had power to license saloons. The same question was raised in the case as in the cases lately decided by Judges Art man and Christian, but the ruling was the other way. Judge Clark cited many supreme court decisions, and said. The supreme court has upon nine occasions, the last being less than three months ago. held the laws to be constitutional, yet I am asked with one stroke of the pen to strike laws from the statute books which have been recognized for over two hundred years. It is asking too much. Judge Clark, if we may take his own statement, is as much opposed to the saloon as the other judges are. He says that if he were a lawmaker he “would put the entire whisky traffic out of business in three minutes. The only difference between him and Judges Artman and Christian is that he does not believe that he has such power, while they believe ‘.hat they do have it In our opinion Judge Clark is right, and we have no doubt whatever that he will be sustained by the supreme court. But even if that court should be found to have changed its mind. Judge Clark is right in refusing to overrule it . The principle involved in these cases is. it seems to us, perfectly clear. For many years courts have held that a license is not a tax. not a permit or indorsement, but a means of restriction and regulation of a business which was felt to need restriction and regulation. This is the • theory on which legislative bodies in this country and England have acted for centuries. Never, as far as we know, has it been questioned by any judge up to the time of Judge Artman's decision. By common law and by statute, as well, the right to sell liquor to be drunk on the premises has been recognized for centuries. It is not a question of inherent right—admitting for the sake of argument that there are such things as inherent rights—for the right in one that can undoubtedly be denied or withdrawn. That. too. has been decided. And legislative bodies have acted on the theory. We can have prohibition if we want it. But we might as well make

up our minds that we shall have to abandon all efforts to get it by any short cuts. Prohibition statutes must be enacted by the legislature and not by circuit judges.—lndianapolis ! News. Some day the president wjll hurl the lie at a fighting man. and then the country will perceive why the constitution provided for a vice-president.— Richmond Times-Dlspatch. The first step in the conspiracy to deprive Oklahoma of statehood, though all the constitutional requirements have been fully met. has been taken. An injunction has been asked and will doubtless be granted, by a judge of the territory to prevent an election til November, ISOs. This will effectually prevent the electoral vote of that state from being counted. —Frankfort Crescent. IS A MODEL TOWN (Continued from page 1.) chickens are not allowed to run at large; where there is not a saloon; where the stores all close at six o'clock in the evening and only open for two hours on Sunday; where there is no gambling or evil characters; where a colored man is not permitted to stop; where there is no law violations to speak of and where stealing is a lost art. Ano: her feature of the town is that it is the home of Lige Lincoln, halfbrother of Abraham Lincoln. Lige has been written up in every paper in the country at least half a dozen times in each paper, and is willing to stand for more. And the "big noise” in this town is Colbert Griffin, town marshal and street commissioner. Colbert is a tall man with broad, square shoulders, a drooping mustache and bright eyes, somewhat loquacious ,but afraid of nothing. He is the man who enforces the chicken ordinance, makes the dog owners put tags on the animals, and sees that the boys and girls go home when the curfew whistle blows. There was a :ime when FL Branch had two saloons, and there used to be a rough house about once a week. By means of the Moore law these saloons were closed up. There are no “blind tigers” here and when a drunken man is seen about FL Branch it is safe to wager that he got his liquor somewhere else. The marshal does not waste time with drunks. The town has a new lockup and into go the drunks as fast as they come to town. Sunday in FL Branch is the ideal Sabbath. AU is peace and quiet and rest. The five churches all have targe congregations and the attendance embraces nearly the entire population of I the town. RURAL ROUTE NO. TEN. Tom Dage and Philip Summers have been busy for the last few days building fence for Miss Orpha Jacobs. The little son of Mr and Mrs. Geoige Jacobs is reported very ill from lung fever. A Sunday school convention was held last Sunday and Sunday night at the Union church. A large crowd was present. Miss Venlie Davis is on the sick list. Mrs. Liman Blossom, who has been seriously ill. is said to be somewhat 1 improved. Mr. and Mrs. Delmere Stevley, of - Wilshire, visited with his mother. Mrs. . M. Stevley, last Monday. ; Mrs. Henry Buckmaster, who has been on the sick list, is reported no ! | better.

A LIVELY SHOW “Santiago” Here Monday and Tuesday Nights FULL OF PATRIOTIC CHORUSES Cast Includes the City's Best Talent and Opera House Should be Crowded each Night. The Columbian club members are looking forward to packing Bosse's Opera House to its capacity on both Monday and Tuesday nights of next week When they will politely proffer Santiago, a most spectatular military drama by a local talent cast under the direction of Henry Thomas. Santiago is a play full of thrilling interest, intense climaxes, good, wholesome comedy with the biggest and best musical program ever rendered in our city. The play, also tells a beautiful heart story, and cannot fail to appeal to every patriot The cast and chorus have worked hard and faithfully with the Tiesuit that “Santiago" moves with perfect smoothness and in a manner that is gratifying to those having it in charge. The cast: CapL Oscar Hutton, U. S. A. in love with Cora Frank Wemhoff Lieut. Fisk. U. S- A., in love with

his duty Frank Barthel i Milton Merry. V. S. N.. in love with Bess Clayson Carroll I Lieut. Cristobel. Spanish army, in love with soldieringJ. J- Helm Fernando Dial.

The seat sale opened at the Holthonse drug store Friday morning, and all indications point to a financial success. The Columbian club will donate the proceeds of “Santiago” to the fund for the new Catholic school building, and it is certainly a worthy cause and the club shows a laudable spirit in so aiding a good educational institution. The seat sale for Tuesday night’s performance will open at usual place Tuesday at 8 a. tn. Remember ‘'Santiago” at the Opera House, Monday and Tuesday evenings.

Here is Decatur testimony to prove it: John Woy, living at' 616 Fifth streeL Decatur Ind., says: "I used Doan's Ointment with vary beneficial results and can recommend it very highly as a remedy for skin eruption. For years I was annoyed by irritation of my limbs which was very exasperating in warm weather, and at night I suffered terribly and I have had to get up out of my bed on account of it. I tried a number of remedies, but got no relief. Finally Doan’s Oointment was brought to my notice and I got a box at Holthouse Drug Co.'s store and applied it. It stopped the itching in a few moments and a few applications cured the eruption. There has been no trouble since.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
