Chicago, AROUND THE CAPITOL: — With only about ten days left for the legislature to conclude its business. things are beginning to warm up and there is much guessing as to bow much of the administrative plan will succeed. Here are a couple of paragraphs from a letter by Walter Chambers, a member of the senate and the state chairman of lite Democratic party, which may be of inter est:— It is rumored on all sides that the Highway Commission is not in favor with this administration. Several bills have been introduced that would compel reorganization. Charges have been made that one member diverted a highway so as to pass his town al a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars. All these charges and new bills coining from Republicans, indi cate that the Highway Commission is due for the skids some time in the near future. Friends of the Commission regret to see this, as they have the fullest confidence in the ability and integrity of the members, as well as in John Williams, the director. Ar investigation of this department was made by the grand jury a few months ago. but tlie report is probably being held up until after the legislature ad joiirns, just as a similar report was held up last fall until after the elec tion. Inasmuch as the investigators ami the investigated are Republicans they can do as they please, every thing being tempered to the politics winds. One of the most dangerous mcas ores passed by this or any other legis lature. was the Lindley bill that went through the Senate last week will only eight dissenting votes. Its author is one of the ablest men in the Senate, of high, integrity, but ii seeking to accomplish a reformation 5 in tlie Stale Board of Education thr a bill opens the way for scandal and < corruption of immense proportions | The Stale Board of Education lias ■■ been composed of thirteen members, rj including the presidents of the State < Normal, Purdue and Indiana Univer 1 sides, the school superintendents o* i three cities and one county, aud the t other members appointed by the Gov f ernor. This board has the letting of school book contracts amounting to millions of dollars, and it has always 8 Iwen felt that the presence on the 1 board of such unimpeachable men as 1 the presidents of our state colleges I and school superintendents was a f safeguard. With only four members * two from each parly, and not school 1 men. it is claimed that the control of ’ Hire appointments would be worth 1 a half million dollars a year to ' school book publishers. A state political committee could be financed if i' would permit school book firms 1 to name men that would be endorsed : for the education board. The Gov wholly innocent in the matter. No mailer how honest the m<mlw. were, there would be rum or: of ■ andai No other measure in th :ion carries such possibilities of and il and corruption. If the present system Is bad. the new bill creates a greater evil in getting rid of a present fault. ■" 1 ■ J 141 J I 11 .. ..

For two months we have been urging renewals of those who receive the paper by mail and with splendid results. Only a few have neglected to take rare of this matter and we believe that by Saturday night the Job will have been completed in a most satisfactory way.

There is no doubt about the need of building better roads and there is no doubt but that this will have to be done largely by state and county units. The first petition of this kind will be tiled this week and the question will do doubt result in much disegbsion with the decision largely up i

It was of the Heavenly Angels And It never would grow old. How she taught them in the evening Each one their evening prayer And of the Guardian Angel, Told them God was everywhere. Then she sang to them so sweetly A baby lullaby. While down her checks tlie tears came trinkling As she thought if one should die. Then she bowed her bead so gently. Frayed to God a fervent prayer Asking Him to spare her children And to guide them everywhere But as God looked down from Heaven He thought of this bad old world. He came and took one lovely child The one with the golden curls. But we (hank the Heavenly Father.

( © f Kellogg Has No Plan For ■ Limitation Os Armaments 1 New York. Feb. 33. —Denial that he will bring to his post as secretary of state a plan for limitation of armaments was made by Ambassador Frank B. Kellogg upou his arrival , from London. His talks with British officials regarding the proposed disarmament conference at Washington were always ‘‘unofficial and inform al,” Kellogg said.
