Entered at the postofflee at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. Dayton Abbott is now chief of police of Fort Wayne. His first order was one directing him to clean up the ••flats." If he is big enough for that job, he ought to do. A regulation bill has managed to crawlhalf way through the legislature, at least. It provides for one saloon for the first five hundred and one for each additional thousand people of cities and townships, the license fee being S7OO, and subject of course to the Proctor option bill which provides for voting on the question. However, the bill still has a stormy path, for it must pass the house, and when it comes out it may be so covered with patches that its author won’t recognize it. Senator S. Hunt of Winchester has taken up the fight against the divorce evil in Indiana. He proposes a law that will invalidate a decree given by another state based upon causes arising in Indiana, but will uphold a divorce granted in another state upon causes that occurred in that state. The law will prevent a man or woman from going to Reno, Nevada, or Another state where the laws are lax and obtaining a divorce which could not have been obtained here, and then re-

turning to marry another "life partner." There is no reason why one state should be allowed practically to annul the divorce laws of another state. There should be some provision for divorce trials as in crmlinal cases or we should have uniform divorce laws. —Columbia City Post. , i j Why should we consent even to the semblance of lack of courage in our pagan trappings of woe at every death? We may well grieve that we are left behind; that a comrade whose face and voice and interpretation of life make half our joy should pass beyond our grasp. But if we belive that death is going to justify Itself as life has justified Itself, there is no right or reason in emphasizing grief. We were made to go onward. There is no permanent stopping in thq great purocessional pageant passings from one eternity to another. And when we are forced to wave ‘'farewell" to one who goes beyond our sight, let it be courageously and with a solemn gladness, "There is nothing to be commisserated,” writes the good gray poet to one about to die. “I do not commiserate—l congratulate you.” —Harper’s Bazaar. When the statute books contain so many laws that they conflict with each other, it looks like it is time to cast them all aside and start over. In 1905 the legislature passed a law making it a misdemeanor for parties denied a license in any county in Indiana because of certain afflictions, such as unsoundness of mind, epilepsy, etc., to go to another state to marry with a purpose of returning to Indiana to live. Some months ago a couple from this city were refused a marriage license, and went to Michigan and were wedded. The grand jury indicted them. The attorneys for the defense promptly filed a motion to quash on the grounds that a person of unsound mind, as was charged in this case, could not be prosecuted criminally for his acts, this being a statutory defense. The court sustained the motion. Now the supreme court will be asked to state whether or not the one law hasn't got in the road of the other.
