! Strong Ticket Named I CONTU.UF.L’ FRC24 PAGE ONE not of, that it is better to rest quietly under judicial oppression and to seek remedies by statutory enactment, I than to submit your questions to an unsworn, an ignorant or a prejudiced jury with no safe guards and no method of punishment, that so far as I am I concerned I shall quietly abide the | cislon of the court if it be adverse to Imy views, reserving always my right as a free-born citizen to freely criticize the decision of the court and to [Propose all lawful measures to rectify‘the wrong.” ‘T have myself the utmost respect I for the dignity and power of the [courts, but I know there is a vast difference between Justice Harlan and (Justice Dogberry. The judicial ermine;is sacred in my sight, but the judiicial vermin is not. If I can have my Isay in democratic councils of the state, the party will promise the people that lin the event that the supreme court lof Indiana does not permit us to vote I upon the new constitution, we will call a special election if the people will 'give us a general assembly and get [rid of the lawyers' amendment and I will devise lawful means to present 'these changes to the people for their adoption or rejection.” The governor defended the administration of the state's finances by the [democrats and said that the tax levy | for the years of the present democratlie administration and the preceding | republican administration showed that :dne and one-ha 1 ’’ cents’ less taxation [upon each one hundred dollars had I been taken from the taxpayers by this I administration than the preceding one. ’ln the aggregate the governor said .that this amounted to $290,00 a year. [He also asserted that the administration had been enabled to open the new hospital for the insane at Madison, the tuberculosis hospital at Rockville, to increase the capacity of the school for feeble-minded youth and of the epileptic village, to pay off the Coliseum bonds of SIOO,OOO plus interest, and will be able to pay $150,000 of the state debt In July and $150,000 more in January of Next year. It was recommended that the state should have a penal colony for all persons convicted of rr.inor offenses and imprisoned for a year or less, and the prisoners there should be used for the making of public improvements. The shale district of Indiana was named as a suitable place for the establishment of the colony. Etablishment of a farm for the I harmless and incurable insane also . was advocated in case the state's fij nances next year will permit it. A state orphans' home also was recom- ' mended. The governor referred to the Proc- [ tor law for the regulation of saloons land asserted that its fearless enforcement would inevitably result in lessen- | ing “the well known evils of the liquor I traffic.” He held that the present j regulatory laws regarding the liquor [ traffic were the best the state had ever had. The party, the governor said, should stand for the enlargeiment of the powers of the railroad 'commission of Indiana and its conversion into a public service commission. Referring to tbs educational institutions of the state, the governor said I that they were being maintained at 'great cost and that the experts of I these institutions “should of their i knowledge give something in return jto the state.” “The expert in promoting efficiency' in public service corporations wi(J save to the owners more than a public service commission will reduce their inI comes. The owner and the public will i thus receive like benefits,” said the i governor. The governe" defended Ids use of : the parole power, reiterating t.ha* it was the purpose of society not Io pun I ish criminals but to reform them. Legislation passed by the last state 'legislature was pointed out by the govlernor as being o f vital imporlauce to ; the state and a long list of state laws, held to be in the best interests of the people, were enumerated. oA FINE DISPLAY WINDOW. The artists at the Teeple, Brandy- | berry & Peterson clothing store were ' busy today arranging their fine display window. Blue serge prevails, | shown in a large number of handsome custom made suits. Prices are agree- | able, the men’s suits selling for $lO, I to $25, and boys’ for $1 to $8.50. SPECIAL MEETING. The W. R. C. will hold a special ' called meeting at the ball on Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock by order of the president. On account of the high cost of living South Bend liverymen are going to “take it out of the dead.” After April first,, they will charge $5 instead of the customary $4 for funeral hacks

ABOUT THE SICK, I | Mrs. Christena May, aged eighty I years, for many years a resident of [Union township, is still helpless from lan attack of paralysis.
