THE BILL FACTORY:— Up to Monday morning 252 bills had been introduced in the house and 227 bills in the senate. Only one of these measures — the bill appropriating money to defray the expense of the session — had gone to the governor for his signature. The house passed twelve bills last week. So far it has killed fifty-seven by indefinite post ponement and one by striking out the enacting clause. Seven have been withdrawn by their authors. The senate has passed thirty-four bills, indefinitely postponed twenty-two and seventeen have been withdrawn. In addition to the bills, several joint resolutions have been introduced. The opening sentences of Governor McCray’s message to the legislature were: “What the people of Indiana want i“ n period of legislation inaction and rest. They demand a closed season on new legislation. They would like to see you come together, pass a few important and constructive laws, repeal many that now cumber the statute books and then adjourn. Indiana does not need a great mass of new laws. We have too many now that are not held in proper respect, Not a few members of the assembly have expressed such thoughts tw-me, all of which I indorse most heartily.” There is no question about these sentiments meeting with approval throughout the state. Members, before the session convened, were agreed that only a few laws should be passed and an early adjournment taken. Members said the same thing two years ago—and ten years ago. And yet, despite the advice of the governor, the manifest feeling of the people as expressed personally, by resolutions from many organizations and generally through the state press, the

members have gone about the business of keeping the bill factory busy. Nearly 50(1 bill* have been introduced, and the introduction of bills will conr’ tinue to the last minute.—lndianapolis r - News. r. es--mnßne=sssHi r, Thu Indiana Legion seems divided over the question of whether the bill to prevent sports on Memorial Day J should pass in the legislature. The 0 bill is aimed principally at the speedJ way races held each year and for 5 years a national attraction. Os q course there is no real argument. The 1 day wus made a holiday to be devoted to 1 commemorating the heroes of our wars but in recent years there has been a tendency to make it a day ot pleasure as we do all our holidays in America. Any day will do for the speedway. Why does its success have , to depend on Decoration day? The ■ duy before or the day after, giving the holiday for going or coming would, it seems, be just as good and the sol1 diers should have their day. Senator Borah is not a quitter. Even « his worst enemies never accused him f of that. A month ago he offered a (' resolution that the president call a 1 world conomic conference to seek a ’ rettleinent of the reparations and kindred problems. He was induced ’ by Senator Watson to withdraw the 1 resolution when told that the pdmin- > istration was at work on such a plan and the action would interfere. He 1 has waited long enough, he thinks, 1 and now will insist it is time to do something and that's the way the peo- , pie generally feel about it and they don't care who does it or how, so they 1 ' get busy and assist in settlement of 1 he great problems. The governor is making so many t recommendations to ttje legislature, < suggestions too which cost much money and some of the boys are j wondering if the chief "exec” had his fingers crossed when he told them the ’ i'rst day of the session to remember 1 the watchword was to be economy. s He is asking increases of $200,000 J total over the budget recommenda- , ' ion and this includes some boosts in alaries- and overhead not considered i necessary. : 1 Capitalists and others are now plan- J ting to build a railroad from New , I ”ork to Pekin byway of a tunnel < I under Behring strait so that those sub- 1 . , .’ct to sea sickness may visit the old 1 > world via sleeper route. It will prob- ( I ably be accomplished at that before . ■ ireless communication is established J ! with the planets. i ] 1 Latest figures show an automobile J n this country for each eighth person , m the United States. Wouldn't have , to crowd much to get ’em all in and 11 railroad workers who contemplate a strike will soon have to consider the ' fact that there is another way. Decatur needs a hundred new houses ’ nd if built they can be immediately rented or sold. If we get them we will increase several hundred in population immediately. The People’s Voice Cid You Ever Think It Over in This Way? "To the pure all is pure.” To the vile all is vile. Vulgarity, lasciviousness dwell within. They come from within. To a < lean mind everything is cleanly, wholesome. A vile mind can twist even a heavly vision into voluptuous debauchery. Paid reformers advertising their mental corruption rail at the undressed woman. But they should be classed with the Nation’s worst enemies. They are striking blows at the Nation's vitality. They are debauching the life principle. They are sacrilegious. They disgrace the name of religion. Why, the very Book that they pretend to reverence brands them as hypocritical falsifiers. "God created man. In the likeness of God made he him.” (Genesis 5-,) Therefore, man in his perfect state should bo godlike in form. Doubtless wo are a long way from perfection; but with all our faults, what reason have we for accepting the lasciviousness of the prurient grude in every thing associated with the unclothed body How dare those who pretend

■ to bo religious try to make us believe that the image of God is obscene? And the good Book goes further! ' Not satisUed with stating that man was made in, the image of God we read I that “They were both naked the man and his wife and were not ashamed." Here are two direct quotations from I the Bible that religious people and ( those who are not religious should take to heart. We should reverence the body. We should exalt it. And every foul-minded hypocrite that connects the body with erotic and debauching imaginings ought to , be punished so severely that the stench of his mental processes would bo corked up out of sight and sound forever. What this ago requires is strong, vital types of womanhood. Strong mothers are needed above everything else. And the strength of woman depends upon freedom from restrictive dress. The more use women make of abbreviated costumes, the greater will be their physical activity, upon which vitality and health depend. And there is the mating instinct. Surely our sanctimonious brethern do not object to that particular sex at•v. wrings men and women together in the holy bonds of matrimony. Sensible men want vital women for wives. They want the mothers of their children to be capable of bringing healthy, vital children into the world. They should also have the right and privilege to see their prospective wives sufficiently undressed to know the degree of physical excellence their children will inherit. Let us hope that the next generation will be a man's age when womanhood will not be afraid or ashamed to stand out without her frills or furbelows that her defects. Nakedness should be made so commonplace that it will have absolutely no association with sex imaginings, and until the race can reach this standard, we are still wallowing in the wanton filth that has been spattered all over us by foul-minded prudes or many generations. THE OBSERVING STUDENT Editor of Decatur Daily Democrat: • Without vision, the people perish." Without education there can be but little vision. Os education it may Ire said that it is twice blest. It blesseth hjm that gives and him that takes. Certainly people in townships like Blue Creek, that have no railroads to 'draw thousands from, as others have, are without vision, without reason, and are voting right against their own in-1 terests, as well as all others. Under the county unit law, the thousands that other townships get from railroads corporations would be distributed. People in Blue Creek ship over those very roads from which they do not draw a cent because of township lines or boundaries. A fool ought to be able to see that. I met a few days ago. a patron of Jefferson township. I said how now about your splendid school. He said, before it was built I called our fine trustee, Jesse Buckmaster, a crook. Today I thank God that he was a crook for I would not live where they did not have such a school. I would not be in the mess I they are in Blue Creek for no money. They owe $50,000 in debt above us, and we have a consolidated school. No wonder when we know from facts gleamed from state educators that the majority of trustees never went beyond second grade in a country school. There are very few Jesse Buckmasters among them under the county unit, efficiency will be the watchword. TEACHER e_ WORK IS FAR-REACHING Purdue Agricultural Experiment Work Results Reach Foreign Countries Lafayette, Ind. Jan. 30.—The work being done by the argicultural experiment station at Purdue University "reaches round the world” according to the number of letters received during the last few months. One came in today tq Professor Conner, soils chemist. from George L. Sutton, director of agriculture for the government of Western Australia at Perth, asking for information about some work which has been done at Purdue in correcting soil acidity. “I saw the statement about your work in a New Zealand newspaper and want some more information,” Sutton said. The letter was mailed October 31, 1922. Similar letters have been received the last few weeks from several European countries and a number from South America on all phases of agri culture and engineering. r, i —, —s —. — ' : i SALEM CHURCH NEWS Rev. Wyant has just closed a very successful four week's revival meeting in which 35 knelt at the altar of prayei and claimed salvation. He was very ably assisted in the song service by Mrs. Lottie Lett Rauch, of Wren, 0.. who also con

u ducted several services especially for* the children. ! A noticeable feature of the meeting was the fellowship of the sister ] churches ot the community.

McCray's Measures Up For Final Consideration Today ; Indianapolis, Jan. 80. —One of Gov- ! ornor McCray's measures —the industrial board bill—came up for final consideration in the state senate today as a special order of business. > it would reduce the membership of ■ the industrial board from five to three. There has been little opposition to the . measure among members of the sen- > ate and indication are that it will go • through the house without serious i opposition. Friends of the measure contend that there is no necessity of a large board ’ and say that three members can perform the duties as well as five. The Davis senate bill which would prohibit the state board of health from condemning school buildings was also scheduled to come up for i passage or rejection. The bill had safely passed through second reading without any organized effort to kill it after a committee had recommended that it be approved. United opposition of physicians and members of the state board »f health presaged a stiff battle over the measure. Dr. J. N. Hurty, former secre . tary of the board of health, now a member of the house of representatives, will throw his influence in the scales against the bill.
