Entered at the Postoffice In Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. By a vote of seventy to twentyeight the lower house of the Indiana legislature yesterday voted in favor of a statewide prohibition law and the result was announced amid wild • scenes of' enthusiasm. The bill now goes to the senate where, according to the poll taken the vote will be very close with the odds favoring the .|mssage of the bill. In addition to tills it seems likely that a constitutional convention will be held during th% next year and by lf*2o the manufacture and sale of intoxicants in the state of Indiana will very likely be prevented by the new constitution. We congratulate the school board of the city of Decatur for re-employing Prof. Worthmann for a three year p *riod. It is a recognition of which he Is in everv way worthy and one which he has earned hr t-lie'five months he Inta served as head of the Decatur school :. He is industrials and careful and honest and hir great desire to make our schools the best in the state canuct help but improve conditions in this important part of our community. We believe the jieople will endorse the contract just made and that It will prove an investment that will bring rich returns. _. .. — It now looks like the state would be saved the burden of the highway law that it was proposed to hang on to the people. It would have placed in the hands of one man the control of ten million dollars’ worth of contracts and that is a lot of authority and money for one man to control Moreover the original bill proposed to take all authority away from local communities. That bill was a real dream for the frig fellows. But when the legislators came from the country districts where the bills are to be paid, got their haiids on the state -highway bill they made short work of it. The bait of government aid never touched them, for they could not see any business in paying out five dollars to get one as a gift. If any state highway bill is passed it will bear no semblance to the bill proposed by the various automobile and other dubs.—Hartford City News. An Indianapolis newspaper makes the statement that a majority of the people favor the repeal of the threemile road law and we take it that they haven’t interviewed them very earnestly or in other words, don’t know what they are talking about. They also say that it the law is not repealed many townships will be up to the limit of indebtedness, and DO NOT FAIL TO ATTEND OUR SALE ON SATURDAY AUTO DA| , • 1 1 t 1 ”—■ -- . .11., jgl T —1 THE MYERS-DAILEY: - COMPANY

In this county for ten ' years nearly every (township has been up to the limit, which is a four per ceßt indebtedness, and not a eltizeu of these* townships would exchange that IndebtedneaaAfor the mud from which the law lifted them. They criticize also the lobby opposed to the repeal of Hie law but seem to think that the lobby composed of ma1 terial men for paved roads and members of the automobile* associations I , Which want a few roads through the ( state than can be used for speeding purposes, arc* all rigM. The ordinary farmer and citizen prefers good stone roads all over the county at a cost of $3,000 pet mile to a brick roud or two ' for the pleasure of tbe driver of a racing car Lat the road law stand as it is.
