Entsnd at the poetofflce at Decatur, Indiana aa eecond-claee-matl matthr.* OFFICIAL MFU OF ADAMS MJKW ONE FOOTPAD ROUTE. The legislature has been in session long enough to show that there are members on the majority side in both houses who feel that they can safely vote against all kinds of measures of real benefit to the people provided they support some sort of a “liquor bilL” This fact is illustrated by the: action of the Republicans in the senate a few days ago. An sinli-trust bill had been called Up, but ftwwawput off in order that a soJeaijed anti-saloon measure might be eo'nsfdertd.u: &*,, . The most conservative k -Wmperanoe advocates in the stake toave,-declared time and again that - thfe laws pow in force regulating ;> tHe sale of intoxicating liquors art sufficient toczall purposes And that no further legislation on that subject?'is l 'needed. This is the opinion of suWaMgh authority as Col. fed Ritter,’Vho-thas;been the head and front’b* the temperance forces in the state ‘for nesMy: a generation. It is nd wdnder, that there is a deep-seated and grow-, ing distrust of the good faith character of the whole li^or-bill grist. The “liqnor bin" method of killing legislation on other subjects-has been' worked at other sessions of the legislature and it is being overworked hcjw. 1 It has been used to postpone-and de- ‘ feat bills aimed ai 'Corporate and ‘ cjal abuses and fftrift’klF indications 3 it is being so usrid 1 now.' “PerhapS, ’ sometime, we Will have a legtaltitfife that will get down to braed-tacks, but Jt v<ll not be a bdd} majority 'in ft’ ' w Y 4w j ‘ ' l ;»«>» ■-} jtu.

Railroad employes and the public are alike interested in the measure, which, i* regarded as of great importance; Freight trains Consisting df fifty cars, exclusive'. |f‘- caboose anif locomotive, shall be manned by a crew of six > persons, conductor, engineer, j fireman, two braWffiari and flagman. Freight trains of less than fifty cars must be manned with crews of five .men, Light engines without cars . must have a crew of conductor, flagman .engineer and fireman. Passenger, mail or express trains, consisting of five or more cars, shall be manned by a crew consisting of engineer, fire--'man, conductor, brakeman and flagman, five persons* The penalty clause provides "that aJny railroad company sending out trains not manned in accordance with the bill’s provisions, 'shall bO gtilTty of a misdemeanor arid ■on conviction shall be fined in any ; sum between |IOO and |SOO. The additional prpylsion is made that the railroad company shall be liable for any damages caused by a violation of the provisions specified. The state railroad commission is to enforce the. law. It is believed that the new law will insure much greater safety in the running of railroad trains. TWO-CENT RAILROAD FARES. The. .democratic state platform* speaking of reduced passenger rates and the declaration of the republican platform on that subject, said: Its platform declaration as to maximum two-cent railroad fares, following .the adjournment of a legislature . in which it controlled by a large majority both branches, can only convince the voters of its insincerity, and is no guaranty of the good faith of „thri proposition. , When in power we our legislature to pass such a ; law, ‘without delay. •* ■ 3 The democrats have not-a majority < (the and therefore are ppwer. but they are neverthetlesg makinga'determined effort to|3ec,ure’ twcKiefft rkiltoad fares for the i .people of 'The republicans are not allowed to dodge the question.

He consumed the greater part of four legislative days of the senate in its 'delivery, and' when printed it will fill about 300 pages of the Congressional- ' Record. Its unusual voluminousness is' due almost entirely to the great number of extracts from statistical and other data on the subject of child labor with which the-Hoosier senator buttressed his argument. The most;of these he laboriously read during the course of his though numerous of them were submitted without reading, and will appear in their proper places in. the printed speech.

It has been intimated that if congress should, after all, fail to put 'the subsidy graft through at the present session, President Roosevelt will ca.il an extra session to consider and pass it. He may do this for Harriman, Hill

and their 888ocixiei,~'but he has refused te> .call a relieve the people from the wrongs imposed upoiftheih by the Dingley tariff. If the present legislature really means to make provision for filling the vacant places in Statuary- Hall the honor should go to Thomas A. Hendricks. The selection of any other person would be a rank injustice to at least half of the people of the state who look upon Hendricks as one of the greatest men the country has produced. , Sixty men appeared at the office of the civil service commission in Indianapolis the other day, all anxious to be appointed food inspectors If the cost of living keeps on increasing at tfie present frightful rate there will be millions of people in this country who will be eager to inspect food, provided they get the cfiance. , a To stop a cold with Preventing is safer than to let run and cure it afterwards. Taken at the sneeze stage Preventics will head off all colds ahd grip, and perhaps, save yon from pneumonia or bronchitis. Preventics are little toothsome candy cold cure tablets .selling in 5 cent and 25 cent boxes, -i If ’ you are chilly, if you begin to sneeze, try Preventics.

Making or amehding stateucbnstitutions Is an expensive procedure. It is estimated that It would cost the state of Indiana , more than >390,000 to prepare and put into effect a Substitute for-its present organie law. i Unden. Senator./Will R. Wood’s bill, J which, passed senate last Friday - -afternoon, a special election would be necessary to select delegates to a constitutional convention’ to be held in Indianapolis; next fall. The delegates in ■number would correspond t? with the number of members of the - General Assembly and they would be ■ elected according to legislative districts. Tpe election, would average !. more than SI,OOO to . a county, approximately >4.oo,oat v ,for the entire ■’ ’ State. The convention' itself would i cost almost precisely each day what • -the general Assembly costs. If a neW ; constitution could be drafted in thirsty days’ time the cost of the' convention might not exceed $50,000. Hows ever, a convention for the purpose • of considering a matter of such vital importance might consume twice that time and SIOO,OOO would be the cost. Another election would be necessary to ratify the work of the convention J and another SIOO,OOO would beext pended. 1 ' * ’ — aw. s Dallas Butler made a business trip 1 to Berne this morning.

I ' i The Democratic editors .of, -Indiana ’ 1 congratulate the people on the near , approach of Democratic ascendancy ( to power in the nation and state. On , every hand there is evidence of a det termination oa the part of the masses to overthrow the Republican party and to return to government of, .by and for the people as represented by, the Dem- [ ocratic party. .7 It must be apparent to every think--1 ing man that the Republican party in > the nation has proved grossly false to ; the trust reposed in it by a deluded [ electorate. It protects the interests ■ of the trusts, monopolies and. tariff . eaters and'refuses to take steps looking to the welfare of the masses. A Republican congress and administraion are recklessly spending , nearly a 1 billion dollars a year of money drawn • from the people; To the tariff injus- ’ tices, from which relief is denied, the Republican party is now seeking to 1 add, and to force up the country a 1 -system oL-grafting subsidies to pri- ’ vAte corporations, w.hich,.ft Ofice established, opens the. door -of the pubi lie treasury to endless looting. I In- this state, which the Republican party has controlled-for twelve years extravagance in expenditures has run riot and official. scandal has sullied the fame of the commonwealth. A governor, who posed before the people as a reformer,, developed into ia self-seeking politician, who sought to arrogate to himself the powers of a co-ordinate 5 department of the government and impose upon the people his ipse dixit in the place of the combined their chosen representatives. Tim governor spent than |l3,ww ih alleged investigations, but Sveri with that large expenditure, he did not discover how much interest tfie slate, treasurer has received from public: ’ funds ih defiance ot the'law, orris ftiPdid, fte hail failed to furnish the to the General ’Assemßfy.^ ) ln CT ko ndepart■ment of .tfie state the governor’s, officii 1 ftierri' the, fterms; of . tfie, present©ffictlEPftfimmwill thero. be $4 im--psetdfW jfoj; ’’years.isd We exteW to the DetnocftMs: W both Houses ‘GriiiteiaT WSnftil ,our' hhd - tWi& foY the sfilehdld record’ thiJF u ttfe^< Mdviß made in attempting ‘ ! tO ‘tedebtt i ftii? pledges Contained ih the’ Deni&tatiri state platform, they' fii'ay 'hot, because of the opposition ot a ’Republican majority, be able to" secure the passage of laws of the 7 greatest bene-' fit to the people of the state, bat they will be given full credit for-tiyihg.

A number <of people ip this city are suffering from a disorder Which, like the grip has made lts.; appearance suddehly mad r <spreKd through - the coihmunity ■ like an epidemic!.- : ‘ A’> technical name has. not as yeVbefen invented for ft, but it ‘appears te be a combination of grip and tonsilttis, and has its inception, no doubt, in the great extremes 4n atmosphericconditions which have prevailed for some time past. It starts with a slight soreness in* the-throat as both grip and tonsilitis are contracted through the mouth. This soreness lasts for several days without any after effects being noticeable. Their what to -be grip" makes It appearance, and the. throat becomes swbllen and swallowing is- difficult. The average case is not serious,‘and lasts only a few days, but in some instances the patient takes a fresh Cold and” in consequence is laid low with an attack of'quinsy. Great care should be . taken at this season, especially In the” matter of ciothes. It isn’t the part of wisddhS to change from a heavy overcoat to a one because the weather has moderated some 15 degrees. And it isn’t wise to rush out on a short business call without taking the same pre" cautions as though you were going a mile. Warm underclothing should be worn and changed frequently and the feet should not be allowed to become chilled. ' . .. . . o— - -W. H.
