MERITED PROMOTION.

O. S. Jackson becomes the new di 'rector of the destinies of the Chicago, Terre Haute and Southeastern, succeeding the late J. C. Muir as general superintendent. The advancement of Mr. Jackson is, according to the higher officials, merited by the ability he has Ishown in the direction of the motive yower interests of the road. Mr. JackBon follows a capable railroad man. J. C. Muir had done big things for the Southeastern which for several years encountered discouraging elements growing out of the -Walsh difficulties. Mr. Muir, it seemed, had directed his efforts towards the prompt rehabilita-' tion of the road, and was making headway when his untimely death occurred: Mr. Jackson's advancement proves that fthere is still reward in honest service and fidelity to one's trust. Mr. Jackson started as water boy for secfibtt hands on the Erie railroad. His achievement Is an- inspiration for other .boys who imagine that these days hold less opportunity than did the days' of yore. The development of the Southeastern Is closely associated with Terre iHaute's ^sjrogress, so here's a hope that it process unchecked. Here the notion has prevah^d that had John R. Walsh lived the roadXjyould have be«n developed to an important degree, at least at this terminus. Every citizen believes Terre

Haute would be wonderfully benefited with the material'izaUbn ^pf Jphn R-, Walsh's dream.

LAWS, GOOD AND BAD.

Governor Ralston expresses the hope that the coming legislature, will be marked by the quality of new legislation proposed rathen than by the quantity. It is a timely sentiment. One of the easiest things in the world is to criticize, to find fault. This weakness, common to all humanity, is quite characteristic of out legislators, and i-esults in a superabundance of sloppy

Jeweler.

thing needed to improve conditions is

new legislation. To find defects does not call for great ability any one can pick flaws. But a constructive program to overcome defects calls for a degree of ability that does not appear in much of our modern legislation. Senator Elihu Root, in addressing the American Bar association, declared the people were right in their contention that there were too many laws. Ip the I five years from 1909 to 1913 congress and the state legislatures enacted more than 62,000 .statutes, and in the same period there were over 63,000 decisions of federal and state courts of last resort, reported in 630 volumes.

A most intimate connection exists between the number of cases a.nd the number of pooHy drawn lavfrs. Every useless word, every loose construction, every ambiguous phrase is apt to cost a law suit. "Many of these statutes," says Senator Root, "are drawn artificially, carelessly, ignorantly. Their terms are so vague, uncertain, doubtful, that they breed litigation inevitably. They are thrust into the body of existing laws without anybody taking the pains to ascertain what the existing laws are, what decisions the courts have made In applying and interpreting them, or what the resultant of forces will be, when the old laws and the new are brought together." Such a mass of uncalled-for

NEW TRICKS.

During the recent campaJgn the Indianapolis News did everything in its power to defeat Senator Shively. The outcome which gave Shively some 50,.000 majority bore out the conviction that the people are for anything the Indianapolis News is against. Since the election the News has been telling the people of the wonderful record Senator Shively has made, and has intimated that it would haVe been a national calamity if the senator had been beaten. The political influence of the News is hardly important enough to worry *bout, but its treatment of Shively recalls some past political history. ..

When the democratic state convention met in 1908 and nominated Thomas R. Marshall fdr governor, the Indianapolis News being at tlje time absolute boss of Governor J. Frank Hanly, used all the power of that office and all other methods, corrupt or otherwise, to accomplish the. d^feat of Marshall and the whole democratic ticket. Under orders from Delavan Smith, Hanly called the legislature to extraordinary session at great expense to the ta^cr payers, to create campaign issues supposed to be'murderous to the demo« crats.

The day following the election of Marshall, the Delavan Smith newspaper congratulated the 'people upon their choice, and by the same tactics it is pursuing toward toward Shively, it c&pt'ure'd tHe new governor for a

Nor could he have been nominated for the ivlce presidency without the determined fight of the Indiana democratic organization, for the Hoosier delegates at Baltimore, With Thomas Taggart at their head, made the one solid wall which no other candidate for the office could pass.

Delavan Smith cares little for the result of his assaults upon the character of other people so long as he makes his point for personal gain. It concerns him not at all that he would present a picture of 'Thomas R. Marshall as a political ingrate, if this might help in any way to belittle Shively for the instant and magnify the importance of Delavan Smith.

But Marshall and Shively are both too big with the pepple of the whole country to be hurt or helped in any way bj' what the Indianapolis News or Delavan Smith might think or say of either of them.

The. salvation of the republican party in Indiana, if any salvation be possible, is the elimination of the blighting influence practiced by Delavan Smith of Illinois and his associates.

THE DIVORCE HABIT.

County Clerk Joyce's figures indicating a temporary cessation in the divorce habit direct attention to some recent divorce statistics gathered by Royal E. Cabell, and from which some interesting social deductions have been made. The lowest annual divorce rate was In 1900 that of Delaware, where it was forty-three divorces per hundred thousand married population. The highest was in the state of Washington, the rate being 513 divorces per hundred thousand married population. Kansas is in the list with a rate of 286, while, her sister prohibition state, Maine, had a rate of 282. There were thirty-four states that had a lower divorce rate than the rate in Kansas, amongst which may be mentioned Kentucky, with a rate of 237 Pennsylvania, with a rate of 94 New York, with a rate of 60. The average rate of Givoivc for the United States was 200,1 Stories.

OUR SHIPS. V.

The nations send their ships of war To carry on the deadly fight, •, With blazing guns upon their decks

To sweep to death all life in sightTo batten down peaceful homes, And drive the weeping women out. While their defenders bleeding die,

And famine stalks the frenzied rout.

But not the ships that we send forth

Unto the fighting nations there, Are armed with cannon to destroy, A saving cargo do they bear. Their flight is with despair and want,

Starvation's might to meet and foil, To combat dread disease and snatch A toll of life from the bloody soil.

The red cross is their banner blest, Help supplies, skilled women, men. Relief In ample stores of food,

To bring back faith and hope again, And joy for those poor little ones, The children crushed by war's cruel might So we can say with conscience clear, "We go to win—God bless our fight!" —Josh Wink in St. Louis. Globe-Demo-crat. -4
