DON’T LIKE IT Prohibition Party Antagonize the Nicholson Law. The prohibition platform adopted yesterday at the state convention at Indianapolis is against the Nicholson bill. The platform says “We call attention to the fact that the remonstrance feature of the Nicholson law is against the individual applicant for license and not against the existence of the saloon, in any ward or township; notwithstanding a majority may sign a remonstrance other applicants may apply. Unreasonable burden is entailed upon the people by this law, which has failed to secure a general decrease in the number of saloons. Since its enactment saloons in Indiana have increasedon an average of 200'a year, being in a ratio of double the population. Moreover, such a law does not sever the complicity of the State with the liquor business. It insults every honest citizen by assuming that he shall be counted by the State and saloon as favorng the infamous traffic.

WANT OPINION The attorney general has been asked for an opinion as to what should be done with John Terrell, the wealthy Bluffton man who was convicted of killing his son in law, Melvin Wolf, last summer. Terrell is still in the Bluffton jail. He is insane. The judge who tried the case would not sentence a crazy man. The insane hospitals will not take convicted crazy men. Terrell has been confined in a dark little cell at the Bluffton jail. It is believed that he is suffering paralysis. He is gradually growing weaker. Those acquainted with the case believe death will soon free him. He cannot be taken to a private sanatorium because the la w will admit of no bond in such a cause. There are many who do not believe that Terrell is insane, but that instead he is being systeamtically “doped.” An effort will be made to discover if this is true. He will again be called into court on the 18th of this month for sentence,if the judge deems it proper, and affairs may take an interesting turn at that time.
