: man has the same right to conduct an i i 'independent business that every other I man has; when every man knows that i the business community is open for him to enter and be welcome.” Congressman Cyrus Cline is receiving some notoriety by proclaiming that congressmen have no right to accept mileage if they don’t come home at the close of the session. Os course, if they don't travel they ought not to receive pay for it. That's easy and we don’t just understand how the lawmakers have eased their conscience in the past. It hadn’t ougt to take a statesman to discover that a servant of the people has no right to money he doesn’t earn or deserve, but a lot of (things seem to nave been going on that the average citizen wasn't supposed to understand. Governor Ralston favors a new constitution, but thinks it will cost a large amount and should not be imposed until absolutely necessary. The old Indiana constitution seems to have stood the test of years fairly well ind is still better than some of the new ones. We believe it will last a year or two without causing any serious damage to our people. NOTICE. The Church of God will commence their protracted meetings February 1, 1913, at their hall, one-half block east of the court house. • The gospel of 'all salvation will be sent forth fn justification, sanctofication and divine healing on the apostolic tine. Two evangelists expect to be present. All are cordia>ly invited to attend these meetings, at 7 p. tn., daily. 13t12

She seetns to be on the borderland between a conscious and subconscious state, but there are evidences that paralysis of the throat is setting in, there seeming to be pressure on one of the nerve centers of the brain.
