A bill to abolish capital punishment has passed the senate by the narrow margin of six votes, but it may be “hung” in the house. — ■ — 188 Many manufacturers are interested in a bill to prevent using rivers to carry away refuse. It would seriously affect the sugar factory. The snow storm has struck England, but the bad weather underfoot did not seem to affect the work of the German Zeppelins, which shelled four towns yesterday. Former President Taft is a guest of Indiana today, arriving at Indianapolis this afternoon. He will go to Bloom-

ington tliis evening where tomorrow he will address the students of Indiana university. His welcome to Indiana will be an enthusiastic and sincere one and he will he royally entertained while here. It is now proposed by the sugar duedueers of this country that the goods made in this country from products raised here shall be 'put up in barrels and sacks labeled "I’roduced and made in America.” It is exactly the right thing to do and the person who does not use it in preference to foreign made and produced goods is not e very loyal American and we don't care what his politics are. Street commissioner Chronister has been busy for a day or two clearing the walks after the heavy fall of snow, but how many boosts did you hear? It's easy to knock, but seems to be the hardest thing in the world foi some people to say . anything that would tend to cheer an official who is trying to serve his people. Let’s help him a little by keeping the walks clean where we can.

The first hearing on the bill to abolish the public accounting board was held by judiciary A commitee of the house yesterday. There are many who believe that the real good of this board has been accom plished and that the expense thereof could at least be greatly decreased by reducing the number of examiners to a sufficient number to look after important cases when necessary.

The fact that within a period of four weeks, from January S to Febru- v ary 4, President Wilson, Secretary < Bryan, former President Taft, former 1 whip of the house, James Watson, and ' several others, great and near great. 1 have discussed various big problems in Indiana should be proof sufficient that the Hoosier state is still considered a mighty important one. As Indiana goes, so goes the nation is a good rule to tie to. It has never failed.

Secretary Henry Wilson of the Indiana Democratic Editorial association has sent out the first letter to the members notifying them of the big program for the mid-winter meeting to bo held at Indianapolis, February 4 to 5, at which time the /ksociation will have as guests William J. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan. A banquet in the ordinary dining room of the Denison at six o'clock will be given for the members at which time Mr. Bryan will give a twenty-minute talk, after which the crowd will go to the German

House, where Mr. Bryan will speak to 1,500 people. The business session Will be held the following morning and in tlje afternoon Mrs. Ralston will hold a reception for the ladies, Mrs. Bryan being a guest of honor. The meeting promises to be the best in the history of the association.

won many admirers.” 1 “The Montessori System” was the subject of Mrs. Dale Moses’ interest- : ing paper before the Tri Kappa sorI ority last evening at the home of Mrs. Avon Burk.

Miss Frances Cole was > named delegate to the convention to • be held at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis, March 19-20, and Miss Florence Myers was named alternate.

NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DEBTS. I Jacob Gruber of near Bernf wants , the public to know that his son. Jacob ■ Graber, jr., has left home, where he , thinks the rules are too difficult to be . obeyed, and that the father will not hereafter be responsible for debts con- ’ traded by him while away from the roof tree. There seems to have been several little sessions between the parents and son and the climax came Sunday evening when the boy left home and went to wor kon a farm nearby.
