.Judge Smith on Coming Election (Coßtlnued from W ou ®> tate. It Ih blbo proposed to * tlon 21 Article 7. That section aud article provides: "Every person of good moral character, being n voter, shall be entitled to admission to practice law In all courts of Justice." The -proposed amendment rends as follows: Section 21. "The general assembly may by law provide for the qualifications of persons admitted to the practice of law.” If this proposed amendment were adopted, the legislature could encroach on the right of individuals to contract. Each succeeding legislature could provide for new and different qualifications until such as required, could be gained only through one or two schools in ths state and the admission to practice law could be only through the approval of one or two instituting. It is doubtful if their approval Would warrant morals or ability. Indiana has produced some of the ablest lawyers in the land. As a whole, it has been excelled by more than one state of the Union. In number of Its Supreme Court (•Rations. It ranks third, and the law books from Indiana law writers, are found on lawyers' shelves in every state of the Union. Not all of the proposed amendments are without merit but those herein mentioned are socialistic, dangerous to the rights and the welfare of the people and the prosperity of the state. The present Constitution may not be perfect. Rut under it as the basis law, the state has grown in wealth and power and so it Yill continue. Practically every section of every article has been construed by our courts. We know where we stand. These are troublous times. We are not normally calm or deliberate. Neither are legislatures. Why leave the more placid waters and sail into unknown seas in unsettled times? . • Harding’s Dad Claims a Bride (Continued from page one) that later on.

Harding also wore a dark suit and an old civil war style army hat, even to the gold braid. When they stepped in the town picture gallery, E. B. Vail, the photographer started fussing around about the picture taking. "Shoot right ahead." said Harding. "Let's get this thing over with." He kept a keen eye on the bride as their their first marriage pictures were snapped. Mrs. Harding has known her husband for twenty-five years. She has been in his office as helper for the last three years. She said she intended to continue helping in his office if he will let her. The little town of Marion, scene of Harding’s campaign, was exultant over the announcement of the marriage. When the couple walked down Main street there were cheers from ail the village folk and the men stood in line to offer their congratulations. Harding. as one of his friends said, “Felt right smart proud" to display his new bflde.

EATING A HOUSE Indianapolis, Aug. 12. — Termites are eating a house in Switz City, ind. George E. Moses sent this alarm to I Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist,' today. Moses said the little bugs are eating the floors, rafters, rugs and walls from around him. He said he could see his house gradually disappearing. Wallace said the termites are as small as white ants. They eat away the unexposed part and leave the surface of the wood intact, but only an outside shell. The house frequent ly crumbles before they are discovered, hd said. To prevent these revages 'Wallace' advised Moses the house must not be connected with any wooden supports if It could be avoided. But if so connected, the wood must be kept perfectly dry. There have been many complaints from throughout the state. Wallace said, of flees, cockroaches, ants, silver moths and black carpet betties. The attacks of these insects would have been much more pronounced had the dry weather continued unabated. He gave the following rules for exterminating them: Fleas —Keep the cat and dog out of the house. Use cresol dips and mop the floors with the same substance. Cockroaches —Sprinkle very sparingly two tablespoonsful to the total floor space of an ordinary sized house) a mixture of two parts borax, one part powdered chocolate and one part of powdered sugar around their habitations. Ants—Set in pan, well protected froo children or domestic animals, a
