RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 1911.

MOVEMENT STARTED TO ENLARGE TRINITY CHURCH.

Meeting of Brotherhood Tuesday Night Started Ball Rolling to Remodel Sfraetare. In the presence of District Superintendent Briggs of the Methodist church and while about fifty paembers of the brotherhood of Trinity church were assembled at their monthly meeting Tuesday night a movement was well begun for the enlarging and thorough remodeling of the church, which was erected some twenty-two years ago and which has had very little money expended upon it since it was built. The plan had been submitted to influential members of the church recently and met such general endorsement that it was determined to take active steps* to have the work done and when the announcement was made at the men’s meeting there was real rejoicing. A committee consisting of J. J. Hunt, J. D. Allman, Dr. E. C. English, Henry Amsler and J. H M. Waseon was appointed to complete the plans for enlarging and remodeling the building and to take the steps necessary to secure the funds needed. The plan is to extend the building to the east some thirty feet, to change the pulpit from Its present location in the east end of the coutheast corner, to tear out the partition between the main auditorium and the Sunday school room and thus greatly enlarge the auditorium, to construct a basement under a large portion of the building and to do other things to increase the size, convenience, comfort and appearance of the building. It is estimated that the alterations contemplated will cost from $6,000 to SIO,OOO.

Troops Accomplish Purpose In Mobolization In Texas.

While different . morning paperß seem to see different signs as a possible sequence to the mobilization of the troops on the American and Mexican borderland, it seems more than probable that President Taft acted very properly and that the effect will be to hasten the settlement of the disorders within Mexico. A staff correspondent to the Indianapolis Star in a telegram from Washington says: “The last semblance of the martial spirit has been banished from the mobilization campaign, and barring unexpected complications, the mobilized army will be disbanded in ninety days from the time the “rush’’ order was issued.

“Since returning to Washington President Taft has taken hold of the situation with a firmer hand and is rapidly ironing out all of the features of the campaign that gave promise of trouble. He has given Ambassador De La Barra the most pacific assurances. Instructions have been issued to the officers in the maneuver camps that they must take the utmost precaution to prevent clashes between soldiers and citizens. “He has directed that all orders to the troops shall be made public from the city of Washington twenty-four hours before the time of taking effect, which means that there is nothing to epneeal and which, in effect, gives the public a chance to focus its attention on the maneuvers as on a moving picture. It also enables the President to keep a tighter grip on the situation and to negative all orders which do not seem to him best for 'the public interest.

“In the meantime the land troops will be accorded a wide range for maneuvers, and it is not likely that any considerable number of soldiers will be massed close to tbe Mexican border after the practice inarches begin. On the contrary, the later intention is to use not only Texas, but Arkansas and Oklahoma as maneuvering ground. The soldiers will be maneuvered farther and farther away from the border and further and further out of the semblance of an army of invasion. “The President regards the purpose of the maneuvers as having been accomplished, even if the troops should be withdrawn at once, which he has no intention of doing. It is now known that the threefold object of tbe mobilization was as follows:

"1. Notice to the foreign power* that the United States is still mindful of the Monroe doctrine and of its obligations thereunder. “2. Constructive notice to Mexico that the United States is very much concerned as to tbe maintainance of law and' and protection to American personal and property rights in that republic. “3. Notice to all the world ancTespeclally to that while tbe American army is small, it is pretty nifty and is an easily handled, effective fighting machine.”

BREWERY LEGISLATION IS DISASTROUS TO DEMOCRATS.

Representative Janies R. Guild Discusses Late Legislature in The Winamac Republican. 1 The following interesting discussion of the proceedings of the recent legislature was printed in last week’s Winamac Republican. It is written James R. Guild, of Medaryville, who was a representative in the state legislature and who is, well known in Rensselaer and throughout Jasper county. We publish the letter In full: Mr. Editor: At your request I submit a brict account of the N Indiana Genera! Assembly which has recently closed. Personally it has been a great experience to me, as it has been an absolute rest from business cares of 20 years’ experience and I see the great state of Indiana with its varied conditions, its vast business enterprises, its* people of every class and conditions as I never saw it before. Really Indiana is a great state and every true loyal citizen may be proud that he is a Hoosier. Me. Lapp, the assistant librarian, who by the way, is a republican and who has been holding this position for a great many years, said that there was more good whblesome legislation offered at the 67th general assembly than had e>jer been offered at any other assembly since he held the position he now holds. Mr. Lapp is considered as authority on phraseology of bills and knowledge of the constitutional law and draws nearly ail the bills presented by thS members of both houses. He is a wonder iu his profession.

The newspapers have given the proceedings from day to day;-some were correct and some were very unfair and misleading, but I presume it is always so and will continue to be so as long as politics and selfish interests control theqf. The Indianapolis News was very unfair and misleading, particularly regarding bill 105, which it has formed; which if it become a law would have been one of the best laws for the trusts that could have been drawn and if this bill had been discussed upon the floor of the house a few hours longer it would have had but little support and it is very fortunate for the people of Indiana that the bill was killed. It was stated that a powerful lobby was working against this bill and which is untrue' and the members of the legislature without exception, I think, will say they were not interviewed directly or indirectly for or against this bill and all we saw was in the News. \

Politically, the minority got so accustomed to the “Roller’’ that they seemed to enjoy it, although they made themselves heard when it presented itself. Our democratic' friends, in carrying out their platform pledge to repeal -county option, certainly have put a club in the people’s hands that will be their undoing at the next electron it the republicans will act wisely and come out . strong: for temperance in their The breweries had complete control of the democrats and there is no use denying it. The people of Indiana ata not going to lie down and submit to the cursed business. The new constitution will also be another live issue in the next campaign. With the exception of political measures the minority were treated well and as for Mr. Veneman, the speaker, I have the highest esteem for him, for he is a gentleman and was perfectly fair and an all round good fellow. Mr. Cravens, the democratic floor leader, and Mr. Eschback, republican floor leader, were the right men in the right place. Mr. Cravens is a quiet, unassuming man, but handled his forces with ability and Mr. Eschback is a regular “fire eater,” and talks square from the shoulder and handles his forces perfectly. He would make the republicans a fine candidate for congress. I wad fortunate in getting all my bills through without opposition and feel especially gratified in getting bill 493 through. This bill provides a law by which dredge ditches may be repaired ang enlarged without going into the court with a new petition and a long list of costs to follow. Strange to say, there was no law under which dredge ditches could be repaired. Mr. M. M. Hathaway drew this bill and a number of attorneys have come to me and said it was the most complete measure in Itself they had ever seen and complimented Mr. Hathaway on the same.

As the representative from this county, I served them to tbe very best of my ability and while I no doubt made mistakes, I voted as I thought would best serve my constituents on every measure, and have the satisfac-

A. J. Brenner and Son to Take Randolph House at Winchester.

A J. Brenner, who so successfully conducted the Makeover hotel here prior to March 14th of this year, has closed a deal for the Randolph house at Winchester, and in partnership with his son, W. H. Brenner, will take charge of the hotel on April Ist. The Randolph was built only five years ago and is a one modern hotel with 43 guest rooms, a telephone in each room, baths in a number of the rooms and the whole building well furnished and ready for the Brenners to take charge. It has had some poor management, but Mr. Brenner has rented it favorably and his as a hotel man and his extensive acquaintance with the traveling public will give him an advantage in building up the patronage. They will pack their household goods and leave the fore part of the coming week. Mr. Brenner returned from Winchester Wednesday morning and is well pleased with having secured so good a hotel with so little delay.

Fifty-Three Counties Limit Saloons To One for One Thousand.

Fifty-three of the ninety-two counties of Indiana have limited their sa? loons to one to each 1,000 of population under the new regulation law, according to the reports gathered by the Association of Indiana Brewers. Twenty-four counties will have a limit of one to 500 inhabitants, some ol them allowing the minimum limitation fixed by the law to go into effect automatically. Many of the cities of the state have also taken advantage of the new law, forty-two of them having fixed their city license fee at SSOO, the maximum under the statute. The city council of Marion, where the saloon fight has been bitter, has passed an ordinance fixing tbe saloon license fee at SSOO and restricting saloon territory to three business districts. The ordinance will go into effect if the courts decide that tba recent local option election was valid.
