work that should be done will fail of i accomplishment. It is impossible in the time remaining to crowd through the many bills of merit and it begins to look as if some of paramount importance might be lost. For this | condition there are several explan, I ations, but hardly an adequate ex. i cuse. It is true that the legislature undertook took much, that the Democratic minority blindly obeyed the dictates of Mr. Taggart of French Lick, and that the untactful methods of the governor obstructed rather than promoted legislation, but all these things will not relieve the Republican party for the odium of failure. It has had the power to <' things placed within its hand and while failvie to get results n be: attribute 1 to ’he dereliction of a fe ■ t: is the v.hole partr that must t..- .1 the censure. There is still the. 'or the legislaii.re to save its reput pi t in a measure .and it certainly behooves the leaders of the R -publican party to get busy.

gress through the legislature. It is of Republican origin, as no real antitrust bill fathered by a Democrat has had a ghost of a show from the beginning. The bill that has been worried through the senate and is now worrying the house and which is known as the Hawkins bill, is declared by competent authority to be no better than the useless laws we notv have. A Republican senator declared in a speech that it would not touch the Standard Oil company or any other big concern but that it might catch some little ones. When it was put on its passage all of the Democratic senators voted for it, however, because it was the only thing in sight, though they denounced it as a t sham end a fraud when compared with what is really needed. The senate committee on elections

has at last, when the session is near. 1 !y at an end. decided that E. Volney Bingham, Democrat, is entitled to re. i tain his seat in the senate. Mr. Bing. I ham received a majority of votes over I his opponent, Thad M. Talcott, at the | November election. Afterward, Tal--1 cott, yielding to machine influence, instituted a contest. His case was absolutely baseless and should have been disposed of at once. Instead of that, however, it has dragged almost through the entire session. The fact that a right conclusion has been reached in the end proves that Mr. Bingham's case was too meritorious to furnish even a partisan reason for rcvci.ing the judgment of the voters. T-c~—elt complains that those who •'■■e Ending fault with his mthods suggest nothing to take their place. It is to be supposed that many things that he has been advocating lately but which were advocated by Bryan ten years ago are to be credited wholly to him, and not to those who took a stand for them before he was elected president. A man who is simply a citizen is not in position to do things, and is obliged to confine his efforts to agitation.—Columbia City Post. The dispatches say that Mr. Cromer

The games were all hotly contested and proved to be anyone's game until the last frames were bowled, which showed that the trams were evenly matched. The contest was witnessed by a fair sized crowd and the rooting at times was something fierce. The K. of C. team were without the service of one of their regular bowlers, Niblick, and his place was filled by Schrock who rolled creditable scores considering the. fact that he has not bowled to any extent.

AN EXPERIMENT OF INTEREST Purdue Station Testing Butter Making Process. An experiment of much interest and great value to the dairymen and farmers of the state has just been completed at Purdue agricultural experiment station. Tests have been made of the different processes of making butter and separating the butter fat from milk, in a bulletin just i rued by the station the results of the different processes of separating are as follows: Butter lost in skim milk from one cow in one year; hand separator, loss of butter, 1.2 lbs.; deep setting system. loss of butter, 10.1 lbs.; shallow pan, loss of butter, 26.2 lbs.; water dilution system, loss of butter. 40.5 lbs. The use of the hand separator in the place of the gravity system of creaming, will effect a saving of $3.30 to $7 worth of butter fat from one cow in one year. With the hand separator a richer cream and a better quality of cream and skim milk can be produced than with the gravity systems. The experiments to obtain the fore, going figures were conducted scientifically and with the greatest care and accuracy and surely present the strongest possible argument in favor of the use of the hand separator in butter making. -- - - o PLANNING FOR CONFERENCE Northern Indiana Methodists to Meet

IT CUTS THE BREWERIES OUT New “Blind Tiger” Bill Does Away With Old Customs. It may cause sighs of regret but it is a fact nevertheless that no fresh beer can be obtained by a trip to the brewery as has been the custom ever since breweries have been in existence. Heretofore when a person had acquaintance with the manager or other employes of a brewery and called there either on business or to pass away the time it has been customary to have a faucet key passed over and a trip to a certain place in the brew, ery would find a keg on tap. No one watched how many beers were taken, no account was kept and the practice got to be a snap for many persons who had gall enough to make the visits frequent and their thirst hard to satisfy. Now all is changed. With the taking effect of the “blind tiger” bill the keg was removed and never more will that key be passed out. If you want a beer now, go and buy it. o For good building stone, best Hocking Valley •oal :nd dynamite, see Julius Hau,-k lb—it
