THE SENATOR-ELECT It is now Senator John Worth Kern, elect. After March 4th next we will drop the “elect,” sad he will be the real thing. The red tape has been unwound. He has been voted on by both houses of the legislature, separately and collectively, and the nicest sort of things have been said about him. The senators and representatives have fairly outshone themselves in paying tribute to this splendid citizen, but not one whit too much and not one-half as much as the average citizen of Indiana would say about him if given the opportunity. Radical repi blican papers have talked considerably of factions in the democratic party that would rise up at the last moment and defeat Mr. Kern, but there has not been a single word, except favorably, from any member of the legislature. The honor is one which Mr. Kern has earned over and over again. Aside from that he is the man entitled to the place because he is honest, has the ability and will work every minute of the days he spends in the senate for the people. We are glad for him. We are glad for the people of Indiana, whom he will represent for six years. We are glad for the senate, which body he will grace with wisdom and great ability. We congratulate the soon-to-be junior senator of Indiana. The predicted attack on the public accounting law has materialized, but fortunately it does not seem to be for-

Itnldable. It ought to be, as we be- ( lieve it is, doomed to failure. For no { I better law than this has been passed I by the legislature for many years. The demand for it was bred of the wasteful careless and corrupt methods which , had for so long prevailed. In two short years the law has done much to end them. Men are figuring the cost [ of administering the law, against the ( amounts recovered from it, as though ) j they were really some for.ce in this • contention. We are told of the costlii ness of the new books with which it | was necesary to equip the county and • township offices. Is there a business ; house In the world that would hesitate to adopt a new system simply because the cost of installing it seemed to be large? Surely not. When this item is met it is met once and for all, while I the law goes on saving money to the people, it is believed that enough has i been savel already from the most careful buying of supplies and the lower prices obtained to cover the entire cost of the new books. For the first time, probably, in the history of the state the people are getting a dollar’s worth of supplies for a dollar. —Indianapolis News. NOTICE TO CREDITORS. State of Indiana, Adams County.
