PLAY!NG A POOR POLITICAL GAME Some of the republican leaders in this state have Just awakened to the fact that the minority In the last legislature and thoqe. who have undertaken to put a period to the life of the proposed constitution, have played a poor political game. For the simple reason that perhaps some political advantage is denied them they filed this suit in the hope that upon some technicality the supreme court of the state will declare the proposed constitution to be unconstitutional. Here is their present predicament Should the supreme coure decide in favor of the constitution then it will have a bill of character from the highest court tribunal in the state, and republican o. ators and newspapers cannot sterotype the phrase that it is unconstitutional. On the other hand should the court decide against the proposed constitution, then some right is given the c.tizen, the orator and newspaper to say that politics is even a strong card in the highest court of the state, and that their decision was given for fear that their political party would lose some advantage which they now enjoy. The advantage spoken comes in the qualifications of voters which is dealt with by the new constitution, and for the edification of our readers we reproduce this section which can be found in article two of the proposed constitu-1 tion: "In all elections not otherwise provided for by this constitution, every male citizen of the United states, of the age of twenty-one 1 years and upward, who shall have resided in the state during the twelve months, and in the township sixty days, and in the pre cinct thirty days, immediately preceding such election, shalT be entitled to vote in the precinct in which he may reside if he shall have been duly registered according to law enacted by the general assembly as this section provided and shall have paid his poii tax due and payable the year of such election and the year previous thereto without delinquency; but all poll tax shall be payable in full at the spring payment of taxes, and may be paid separately from other taxes at the option of the taxpayer. It shall be the duty of the general assembly to provide by law at is first session after the adoption of this constitution, for the registration of all legal voters up to, and including November 1, 1913; but thereafter, no person not heretofore registered, shall be admitted to registration who can not read in English or some other known tongue any section of the constitution of the state.” The above section is what is causing alarm among the republican leaders. It is the alarm of fright least they be not permitted to get the votes of that element, many of whoi.i have no right to vote. The people of this state are pretty well acquainted with the disgrace of the Lake county elections frauds, where several thousand foreigners who had been in this co. ntry less than one year were given the elective franchise and permitted to stand upon an equality with the other sitizens of the state. Under the new constitution sue? never would have been co.. " Bk '. Republicans who are not looking for political advantage, are with the democrats upon this issue. They believe that good government demands a safeguard around the elective franchise, and many thousands of republicans will vote for this constitution if given the privilege at the next election. I THERE ARE NO FLIES ON THE CITY OF LAPORTE Laporte, which was recently visited by the Democratic Editorial association, is a splendid city of twelve or fifteen thousand people. Surrounded by

the many lakes that abound in northern Indiana, and being a rich, agricultural region as well, its beauty and : splendor may well be imagined. Broad and well-paved streets, shaded with beautiful maples, commodious homes and substantial business blocks, tells - the tale of a rich and busy city and a t happy and prosperous people. While I thia is true at this time, yet they say. and the records substantiate them, ! that five years ago I-aporte was a 1 sleepy county seat, content to exist, ’ and to exist, too, without any apparent • license and especially without any es- • fort to make Laporte a better city. ■ But they had a change of heart. New 1 officials came on the scene and > new men began the agitation of a bet- • ter Laportq. It worked like magic. 1 They organized for more and better • factories, for improvements, both puband private, and soon every one 1 had that peculiar spirit that wins the day im this mad rush of progress. In the last five years their population has grown several thousand, and at the present writing you can not rent j n house in that hustling little city for money, marbles or chalk, and exceptional inducements are being offered to capital that will come there and intert in property and the building ot more homes for the housing of a constant growth that is theirs and which is as substantial as the rock of Gibraltar. When the editorial party reached that city they found it decorated from stem to stem, the cost of this item alone being several hundred dollars. At the reception to the visitors, every one turned out and their glad :band seemed big and hearty and made one feel that there was but one ptace in Indiana and that was Laporte. More than ninety automobiles were supplied ! to take the party to the factories, and j around the city and surrounding counit ry. A banquet was given them, the (Caterers and service all being supplied from Chicago, and ft is said that this • pleasant evening’s entertainment cost i M. Rurnley & Co., who gave it, more I than a thousand dollars. All this seems just a bit extravagant, but don t you catch the drift ot what is going on in Laporte. They entertained news paper men and women from eve y corner of the state, and since that event column after column of newspaper space has been devoted to the beauty and greatness of Laporte. So it pays to do things well. This little story is told that Decatur an 1 the readers of the Democrat may know what is going on around them. N' t many years ago Laporte was a city about the same size and population as 4s Decatur today. See the point'' Os all the managers of interurban property in the state there is one star that stands out on the interurban horizon and in reality occupies a place all by himself. We hive reference to Mr. Arthur W. Brady, who has official control of the splendid properties belonging to the Inu .ua Union Traction company. This company owns something over three hundred and forty miles of trackage all traversing the test sections of this best state in the i n’en. The track is kept in perfect condition for safe and pleasant travel, and it is a fact of general knowledge to the public that some of the finest .. I cars made are In the service of the Union Traction company. In the de- ' velopfnent of the maintenance of this interurban system the fine Italian hand of Mr. prady has ever been in evidence. It was he who guided the destinies of this company during the infancy of the interurban business in this state, and it was he that has made the Union Traction the best of its kind, and he well deserves the standing he now holds in the railway world and with the general public as well. R. G. Tucker, the Indiana political writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer, paye Judge R. K. Erwin of Ft. Wayne, a high compliment upon hie ability and attainments and says that he will be I in the race for judge of the supreme ' court when the next democratic state Iconvention meets. Judge Erwin was on the ticket for this same place in the election of 1906, and for that reason has some priority rights, aside from the rights given any high-minded and earnest democrat in a convention of his party. It will be gratifying to

the good people of Adams county to I- again see Judge Erwin so signally honJ ored. I ~ l ( Cut the weeds, clean up, do it toM day. The h*uclth officer has given nog I tlce and you should have enough pride, ~ I enough intetcst in the welfare of the e community, to do it without being forced at the point of a law suit to do so, There aie several places in t the city, end some of them right (loan town, whira nee.l attention bad t iy, tbe weeds are a nuisance, the filth must be cleared away. We have called attention to this several times. t and it’s up to you now to do it, or j have it done at an additional cost There is a petition under preparar tion which will be promiscously circulated and which will ask the board , of county commissioners to delay the - I , repair of the Monroe street bridge unj til after the annual meeting of the j county council, asking them for an ap- ■ propriation for a new bridge. This is I a worthy enterprise and one that de- . serves well of the officials, and if the public takes up the enterprise they I will doubtless succeed in getting it. The county commencement will be held Saturday, and one hundred and thirtv-eight boys and girls will receive I ; diplomas, proving that they have comI pleted the eighth grade work and are I now eligible to high school. The event is an important one and this fact, with the splendid program arranged, should not be overlooked by the people of I this community. The schools of Decatur and Adams county are unexcelled In any state in the union. A meeting of the council and the ' citizen's committee will be held to--1 night at which time it is expected the finishing touches will be put on the i fire department movement. It was hoped to close tbe matter on Tuesday ' evening but Mayor Teeple desired a day or so in which to go over the contract. While it is well to be conservative and careful, this matter should not longer be delayed. Madison county passed up the local option election and the commie- , doners have granted saloon licenses ■ o twenty-five in Anderson, twelve in Elwood and five in Alexandria. The temperance people did not believe they could carry an election and the i i business men prevailed on them not to stir up the question at this time. It is now declared that the reciprocity bill will pass the senate, without! the Root agreement concerning pulp paper, by a majority of eighteen votes. There seems also to be a chance for the wool schedule. It begins to look as though that which the people want, they will have, no difference how the senate committee reports. Decatur is a good old town. Lots of hustle and business, prosperous business men, progressive citizens and a hearty welcome to every one. What is more ideal than sweet tempered men and women dwelling together in that good fellowship that is certain to bring peace, happiness and prosperity to every one. Mr. George A. Bittier of Fort Wayne has again been honored by the governor by a reappointment to a place on the state accounting board. He has now held a place on this board for nearly two years and during that time has given evidence of ability and fitness warranting this additional confidence as expressed by the chief executive of the state. Mr. Roosevelt hasn't said whether he has any interest in the campaign of 1916 or not. He has simly declared he will permit Mr. Taft to try again in 1912. Teddy is regular. DEATH OF SISTER-IN-LAW. The bans of matrimony between j Miss Agnes Voglewede and Fred | Schaub were announced for the first j time Sunday at the St. Mary’s church, j This will be another to be numbered 1 among the June weddings, and will be : quite a prominent event. Mrs. W. J. Myers has received a notice of the death of a sister-in-law. Mrs. Anna Hunter, residing at Easton, Pa.
