Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. Have you voted? Bedford and Mitchell voted dry. The regulation bill advanced another step. It has now passed both houses, but will have to go through again to have the edges trimmed. Marshall's new constitution will be voted on, it seems, whether the Fort Wayne News approves it or not. The local option campaign is over Hi Decatur. Root township comes next. It is probable that there will be several others called in the county during the next few weeks.

The prem-er put the case very aptly when he stated that when the lords rejected the budjet in 1909 they committed political suicide. The time may not be far distant when this constitutionally partisan body, irresponsible in the exer-
