Indiana, as second-class matter. Former President Taft addressed ■ the Indiana legislature yesterday afternoon and advised them to employ an '’expert to advise them what to do. Yes, but who would advise the adviser? In this state our lawmakers don’t need advise. They have enough ideas tin It la. It pays to advertise and it pays you to read announcements of the varous business men who are asking for your trade through the columns of th ? Daily Democrat. Turn to them now and see if you don’t find some article that you need offered at reduced prices. If you will read these displays you will find them interesting and as much a part of the paper as is first page news. The board of education will meet tomorrow to select an attendance officer. We have faith in their judgment and feel sure they will chose the man of most ability and the man best fitted for the place from every point of view. It is an important position though the salary is not large, but the work of the late Mr. Andrews is proof that this officer can do much good by seeing that children are sent to school regularly. We believe the city council did right in tabling the report on the question of taking into the corporate limits the factory district northwest of town. At this time with a straight out promise pending by a committee of thirty, business men, it would certainly be breaking faith to do something which would violate that promise. Further than that we believe industries which endploy our laboring men are entitled to any benefits that can be given them. Jay county is fighting a small pox epidemic and some big stories come from various parts of that county, of which the Sun says but a small portion may be believed. A dispatch in today’s papers says that there are fifty cases at Dunkirk and that a call for the state health authorities to assume charge has been made. While the stories should not be exaggerated, it is well to take every precaution to stamp out the disease, as is being done for the,safety of that county as well as the surrounding ones. WILL WIDEN SCOPE New York, Jan. 21, —(Special to tho Daily Democrat) —Injection of the personality of prominent men notably Secretary Bryan into the Santo Domingo probe has made it necessary that the investigation scope be widened. Senator-elect James Phelan of California who is hearing testimony on the charge brought by W. W. Vick against Minister James N. Sullivan said today he intended that every one whose name had been -mentioned shall have lull opportunity to be heard.

Jan. 21 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—The senate today by a vote of 32 to 12 passed the eugenics bill which would require both parties applying for a license to marry to present a physician’s certificate showing that they were not afflicted with any transmissable diseases, and that they were not feeble-minded. Chief opposition to the bill came from senators representing the border counties. The bill goes to the house. Senator Thornton, representing the border counties of Floyd and Harrison, and Jeffersonville, the Gretna Green of Indiana, made the only speech against the bill. “Why, we wouldn’t have a marriage on the borders of this state in five'years if this bill went through. There are 8,000 reasons why 1 would not vote \r this bill.” he said. “There were 1,955 marriages in Jeffersonville in 1914. Home is the crowning desire of a man's longing soul. And nothing

should hinder this achievement" He declared the pyhsielans were lobbying for the bill to get the fees and said such legislation was fraternalistic. Senator Hayes, Booneville editor, brought a ripple of laughter when he pleaded “that young men should go to their brides with clean skirts." Senator Auken said couples from Illinois and Kentucky flocked to Indiana because of loose marriage laws and that as a result marrying 'squires made a neat fortune. “Society has a right, lie said, “to say that diseased men shall

not marry, only to burden society with diseased children. ’ .— —o_ SUES FOR AFFECTIONS.
