MR. ADAIR ON THE HOBSON BILL: — Concluding a strong speech as to his position on the Hobs6n amendment, Congressman Adair said the following, which we believe states his position clearly and answers every charge made against him: “Mr. Speaker, since 1 have been a member of this house I have voted for every temperance and moral measure presented. I helped pass the Jones Works bill and the Kenyon red-light bill, which have made the city of Washington the cleanest city in all the world. I helped pass the Webb bill regulating the interstate shipment of intoxicating liquors which gave to prohibition territory the protection to which it was entitled. I am fifty-one years old today, and I state the truth when I state that 1 have not consumed as much intoxicating liquor in fifty-one years as some who vociferously advocate this resolution have consumed during the past fifty-one days. “I am for temperance and against intemperance. I am for virtue and against vice. I am for morality, decency, law and order. I told the people I represent that I would stand for , all of these while representing them ; in this body. One of my constituents, a preacher, wrote me that 1 ought to vote for this resolution be < cause I promised him in a letter I ; would vote for temperance measures. 1 I did make that promise, and I shall i sacredly keep it. But the Hobson ( resolution is not a temperance meas- t ure, and I cannot in justice to my con- { science vote for it. I believe 1 am < a better temperance man than anyone , who advocates a proposition that t places intoxicating liquors in the f hands of everybody without regulation and almost without limitation I reserve the right to judge for myself what is a temperance measure and what is not a temperance measure. 1 can tell from the wording oi the letters and telegrams received ( asking me to vote for this resolution that those sending them have been misled and deceived or have not informed themselves as to what it really I is. They thought it meant prohibition c instead of free whisky. “Mr. Speaker, the national prohibi- ( tionists are opposed to this measure, f

« while the anti-saloon league is for it It 1 vote against it 1 will dieplease the f anti-saloon league. If I vote for it 1 will displease the national prohibi tionists. Feeling certain the national prohibitions are right and the antisaloon league is wrong—so far as this resolution is concerned —I shall vote against it. "I have no doubt but that many honest temperance advocates in my district who have been misled and deceived as to the provisions of the Hobson resolution will criticize my action, but that should not and will not deter me from doing my duty as it see it. My vote against this amendment is based on my judgment and my conscience, and in time, I believe, practically everybody will approve it, except possibly the Chautauqua lecturers, platform performers, and pay-roll advocates, whose occupation and livelihood depends very I largely on the continued agitation of I this question. |

“Mr. Speaker, like President Wil [ son, ex President Taft, Secretary of I State Bryan, ex-candidate for presi I dent on the prohibition ticket, Hon I Eugene Chafin; Hon, William A. Bru I baker, editor of one of the leading I prohibition papers of the country, and I many other distinguished and earnest I advocates of temperance, I doubt the I wisdom of attempting to solve the liq I uor problem by constitutional amend I merit, but if congress should decide I to submit an amendment, let it b< I one that means something instead of a I, makeshift.” j

Fred Feick of Garrett has introduced a bill in the legislature to repeal the registration law. Senator McCor mick wants the county superintend ents to be chosen by a vote of the peo pie instead of by the trustees. Six teen bills were presented on the first day of the session of the assembly, after organization. The Terre Haute men, indicted fir election frauds by the federal grand jury, including Don Roberts, and a hundred and thirteen others, were ar raigned before Junge Anderson today Congressman A. O. Stanley of Ken tucky is the principal attorney for th> defense, having received a check for SIO,OOO for his services. Frank Dailey will prosecute the men, and he is said to have something like seventy con-! sessions. CALENDAR FOR WEEK ENDING JANUARY 16 Tuesday, January 12, 7:30 p. m. Decatur Lodge, No. 571, F. & A.

Tiie club was organized with friendship, good wishes, a kind word and a winning smile coming from the heart of all members to each and every one. Wmen we feel blue and things are said and done that hurt, let us try to pass them off with a smile, but let vs all be a true friend in every relation of life to each other. It is to help make life less difficult for each and to bring sunshine, friendship and love into our lives, making it ring true and prove sincere. There are no friends like true friends, Friends that share our troubled days, No greeting like their welcome, No homage like their praise. With a gaudy crown of gold, But friendship is the breathing hose, With sweets in every fold. Members of the club are Goldie Osterman, Mina Pepe, Blanche Shirk, Vera Rich, Zella Giancy, Clara Rayl, Amy Smith and Anna Hendricks. — Contributed.

Jurisdiction was thought to be the principal question to come before the court. Attack likely will be made against the indictment. If it is held faulty remedy .can be had soon, for the grand jury is still in session in the term in which the indictment was returned. Terre Haute, “The Hutt,” as it is known, will automatically- receive a new city government if imprisonment of .some of the prominent defendants is the result of the forthcoming trial. Besides Mayor Roberts the list/included Harry Montgomery, president of the board of public works: George Ehrenhardt, of the board; City Controller E. E. Talbott, Edward Holler, suspended chief of police; Jack Nugent, former night chief: Judge Thos. Smith, of the city court, and several policemen. Vigo county is reuresented in Circuit Court Judge Eli Redman and Sheriff Dennis Shea. AT THE LYRIC TONIGHT Five reels will be shown during the ' afternoon, including Episode No. 7 of J “The Perils of Pauline.” Story of the Seventh Episode: “Having Lett Harry on the road for dead, and having Patiiin in his power, Hicks takes her to an old house and locks her up. As he leaves the room he lights a cig- , arette and carelessly throws the match away, it lights in some straw and sets the house on fire. Hicks starts to put the fire out, but gets an , idea and walks out, leaving Pauline to . her fate. Harry lias revived and tries to follow the trail taken by Hicks. He meets an old farmer, who has seen aa automobile pass that looks suspicious. Harry borrows one of the farmer's horses and follows. In the meantime Owen has notified the police that Pauline is missing. One of the newspapers hears and sends a reporter to get the story. He meets Harry and joins him in the search. They are attracted to the burning buildings and hear-Pauline’s cries for help. Breaking down the door they rescue her just in the nick of time. The reporter lias a big story and does it full justice in the papers the next day. The publicity is very annoying I to Pauline and Harry, so she decides to go away for a time. She sends a I telegram to her uncle in Montana that she is coming to visit him. Harry telephones the message to the telegraph company and is overheard by Owen, who* at onces arranges with Hicks to go to Montana. Pauline's uncle arranges some real western life for her in the shape of a faks hold-up by some of his cow-bows. Hicks also arranges with some bad men to hold up Pauline on her way from the station. The Hicks hold-up is successful, as the uncle thinks it is his own pre-arranged joke. By the time lie realizes his mistake, the par- . ty, with Pauline, is far away and Harry is not at hand this lime to go to . her assistance. This episode Is won- ' derfully thrilling.' It is probably the , best of all the episodes that have yet been shown. 5 cents. LYRIC THEATER
