It passed a number ot good bills, defeated a number of bad ones, redeemed most of the party pledges, and —as usual—failed to pass several bills of great importance that it ought to have passed. The democrats promised a child labor law, a weekly wage law, a registration law, an employers' liability law, and i legislation strengthening the public I accounting law. All these promises were kept. In addition, the legislature, and in these matters the repub-• Leans co-operated patriotically, pass-j ed a corrupt practices act and and a registration law. It failed to pass a road law, though the democrats were pledged to such legislation. Other good bills that failed were the franchise referendum bill, the municipal recall bill. Bill 105. and the loan shark bill. The republican minority solidly opposed Bill 105 and were strong against the franchise referendum bill.. This fe the more remarkable in view i of the fact that the ampaign of last year was a progressive campaign, con- • ducted by the progressives. We were told manv times that the great thing to be done was to get the government back to the people, to give the people control of their own affairs. That was the keynote of the progressives.

er notable. Two weeks ago it was feared that It would end in complete failure. The bipartisan combination was strong and active, the lobby was hard at work, and there was apparently little disposition to do anything The republicans were playing politics, and trying to put the democrats in a hole, and altogether the outlook was very bad. But the majority finally got together, and in getting together it got results. At least the record is not one that will weaken the democrats in the next campaign. Some party, or preferably, both parties, ought to begin the fight right away for the good legislation that failed at this session As a preliminary step we suggest that the parties be asked to declare strongly in favor of the control and regulation of the lobby. Speaker Veneman did well to call attention to this matter kt his speech Monday. We must elect men who will represent the people, and then we must manage the lobby business in the right way if we expect to get things done. But, after making ail deductions, the record of the legislature is creditable. —Indianapolis News - PUBLIC SALE. , The undersigned will offer for sale at his residence, just southwest of De catur, on tne Decatur and Monroe macadam road, west of Krick & TynI' dali's tile mill, beginning at 1 o'clock p. m , Friday, March 10/1911. the fol- ■ lowing property; Deering binder, ■ Deering mower, hay rake, two-horse: IH-inch tire wagon, spring wagon, covered side-seated hack, gasoline stove, bob-sled, buggy tongue.
