It is said that the township trustees lobby lias in mind the repeal of the present transfer law, a. movement which should be earnestly resisted by every town and city in the state against whose rights and interests this project is aimed. The law1 as it stands provides that school children may be trans ferred from the corporation in which they reside to another corporation, for school purposes, provided 1hat they find the schools of the second corporation more easy of access and provided fuivther that they reside at least half a mile from the school of the corporation in which they reside. The law additionally stipulates that the -corporation in which the transferred child resides shall receive all income from all sources relating to the family of such child and shall pay to tile creditor corporation a tuition fee not exceeding the actual cost of instruction a month and in no case not exceeding $1.50 in the grades and $2.00 in tlie high school. The debtor corporation pays for only the actual time the child is in school.
This law is so manifestly fair and equitable that there may well be surprise that the trustees' cabal should attempt to defeat it. As under the law the creditor corporation is al most invariably a town or city, the movement is simply an attempt to array country against town for the unholy purpose of avoiding a just obligation. The city gets pay for what it gives—no more, no less. The township pays for services rendered—no less, no more. It enables the city to make the fullest use of its investment in. school property and at the same time is the cheapest way in which the township can school a portion of its children. It is based on the proposition that the property of tlie: entire corporation slialPbc availably for the support*-.of its schools, not simply the proper-, ty of the families having children in the schools, and is therefore consistent with the theory of public education. It might even be argued, without doing violence to the proprieties, that since the va]ue of real estate approximate to cities and towns are largely increased by such proximity that it would but be fair that some return be made for the increment.
The objections to the exisiting law are both fallacious and -inconsistent. The objection most strenuously urged is that many of the children transferred are those of small taxpayers and that they cost the township more than the. income of their school tax and share of the state funds. This objection is based on an assumption contrary to the state's theory of support of public eclucation, namely, that the property of the entire corporatjou and not merely that of families',ivith children in school shall be taxed for school purposes. Then, too, the township'gAs- taxes' on extensive suburban property, mills, factories, railroads,- etc.. which owe their existence to the cities. ..... I It 4s likewise ob|ected that so many high school pupils are (transferred that it lias a Tendency to impoverish the country /schools but this is nwthing mpye
4or
less than a protest against
the township providing' high school facilities for its young people and is merely a part of that cloddish .rural philosophy which is driving many of the better class of country people into town. In this' same connection the objection that the law has required higher township taxes is but a confession that the township is now being forced to pay for something which it formerly got for nothing.
In almost every town in the. state the teaching force could be reduced were merely the children living in the school corporation being accommodated, and not infrequently township trustees have found it convenient to close schools adjacent to the cities and transfer the pupils. It is not right to ask that the cities be forced to assume-a burden that by equity belongs to the townships.
The councilinen of Terre haute may rest assured of one thing and that is that public sentiment here is radically and nigh unanimously opposed to the purchase. of the Reach property lor alleged park purposes. Knowing this and remembering that they are in office to execute the will of the people who put .them there, those gentlemen will lay tliempelves open to ugly/suspicions if they persist in forcing this pro ject on the reluctant city. The whole thing siliacks unpleasantly of graft.
It is likely that Governor Durbin is far from pleased at the "storm of protest against his bill to punish the board of the JefFersonville reformatory. Still the people of Indiana are r" far from pleased that he should exert the influence of the chief executive's office to gratify his personal dislikes. Mr. -•Durbin must remember that Governor Durbin prostitutes the dignity of his office when he stoops to revenge a-slight put upon Win field T. Durbin.
The German newspapers still continue to score the Monroe Doctrine and one leading ad^ninisjjratio'tt journal refers to it as "a rusty'- and hoarse trumpet ,,out of which the Yankees occasionally blow a few notes "..

THE WIDE WORLD ROUND.
Names of States.
Somebody at Washington has suggested that Oklahoma plus the Indian Territory be admitted into the Union as. the state of Jefferson, and that New Mexico plus Arizona be admitted as the State of McKinley. We file an immediate and emphatic objection to the names proposed for the new states —an objection on general principles.
The plac? of Thomas Jefferson and William McKinley in history and in tliie remembrance of their country is secure. Those great men are not in any need of the clumsy compliment. an offense against good taste, which this person at the National Capital would pay them. If living, they would be the first to veto it. Their greatness will not be enhanced an iota by printing their names in big letters across colored spots on the maps. The naming of states after men is all wrong. Tt is bad enough that our broad strip of the continent should be so thick-sown with Jaeksonvilles. Smithtowns, Jonesburgs, etc. l)o we hear anybody at Washington proposing to change the name of Manila to Deweyville, or Santiago de Cuba to Roosevelton, or of San Juan de Porto Rico to Milesburg? It was a mistake to name our far northwestern st-ato after the first president. There is no st$e of Lincoln we hope there never may be, though his name (like Washington's and Jefferson's) would lend itself much more" readily to" such an unnecessary, undesirable use than the name of McKinley. "The State of McKinley is bounded so and so. The capital of McKinley, etc. the principal products of McKinley, etc.: the geological formation of McKinley, etc." Does anv American really want, to make a contribution of that sort to "the geographies, cyclopedias, and gazetteers?

The suggestion of the Washington person should be voted down. Oklahoma is a better name for a new state than Jefferson. and New Mexico (though not ideal) is a much better name for1 a new state than McKinley.

Local tobacco dealerss and manufacturers! are watching with, a- gbod deal of intereslt the' result0 of a &1L which the1' secretary of the treasury, has in effect aproved and: whichiis aimed- at the tobacco trusts, although the fact does not apepar on the surface o"f the measure. The bill, introduced by Congressman Otjcn of Wisconsin, prohibits the placing of any tags, coupons or premium slips in any packages of tobacco, cigaretts, snuff or other tobacco products. A penalty is provided for each violation of the provisions of the bill. The matter was presented to Mr. Shaw, secretary of the treasury, who has sent a letter to Mr. Ot-jen, in which lie says that there is no objection to the bill, so far as the officials of the internal revenue department are concerned.
The bill was introduced, it appears, at the request of a large number of cigar manufacturers throughout the country. They complain that their business has been seriously damaged recently by the adoption of the plan of offering premiums for bands from cheap cigars made by the trust factories. The coupon and premium business lias been in vogue for a long time, and has attained enormous proportions. Until recently the premium feature has been confined to smoking tobacco, plug tobacco and cigarettes. Now it has been extended to cigars and inducements offered to smokers of 5-eent goods to save the bands and trade them for jewelry, cutlery, books, sporting goods, pianos and the like. The list of premiums., ba^cfl upon the number of bands and coupons offered comprises about everything found in a modern department store. Owners of small cigar factories throughout the country are complaining against this practice and insisting that it is driving them out of business. The subcommittee of the judiciary committee, to which the bill has been referred, will make a report upon it.

THE NEW FIREPROOF
BINGHAMTON, N. Y., .Jan. 21.— Whoever goes to Binghamton as I did, will find a much alive, brisk city, with beautiful, wide, asphalted streets and charming residential sections. Its business streets are decked with handsome business buildings and public institutions but none of them can compare in magnitude and beauty with the new SwampRoot Laboratory now nearing compl»tion This tall, towering building is the first object that confronts the eye upon alight ing from the train at the railway stations.
The building itself is remarkable, because, when finished it will be the finest, most scientifically built, and best equipped medical laboratory in the world.
It was the pleasure of the "Tribune" to send a representative to inspect this building, and from the stand-point of an architect, scientist and searcher after the beautiful, I can say with warmth that the trip from Terre Haute was well worth while.
Thousands upon thousands of the readers of the '•Tribune'' owe their restored health, and the restored health of their friends, to Swamp-Root, the great kidney

The. magnitude of the building is not all. It will stand for centuries. It has the finest of modern steel construction, with fire-proof masonry and cement arches not a piece of wood is used in its constructure. It is situated on the most central and commanding site in the city and has -a frontage of 231 feet on Lewis ^sti^tfc, 343 feet on Chenango street and 407 feet on Lackawanna avenue it's floor space amounts to the astonishing area of four and one-half acres, and is to be devoted exclusively to the Swamp-
Root business.The balding is eight stories high, built of s.'eel, granite and light colored brick and its architecture is of the most pleasing style.
As is the present Laboratory so will the new one be equipped with the very latest scientific apparatus for the compounding of Swamp-Root, the demand for which has so greatly increased that the mammoth new laboratory became an absolute necessity^

After going through this new structure as' well as the present Laboratorythe writer was surprised to see the immense scale on which Swamp-Root is prepared.
But when an hour later. I sat in the offices of Dr. Kilmer & Co.. and had the pleasure of seeing many hundreds of the thousands of unsolicited testimonial letters, from all parts of the world—letters written bv grateful men and women cured by Swamp-Root, I thought these people did just as..you and I would do They sat down and wrote their thanks for what Swamp-Root had done for theni and asked that their testimoiiials.be published in order that all might know of this wonderful medical discovery.
Having seen a. little mountain of these letters, each bearing the imprint of sincerity, no one would wonder tha,t this business has increased as it lias, and that the largest and finest laboratory in the world is needed and forthcoming.' .3
