Marshall’s New Constitution Under Fire of Dudley Foulke.

William Dudley Foulke, an able lawyer, pronounces the method of getting the new Marshall constitution of Indiana enacted into law unconstitutional and in a clear manner discussed the so-called “new” constitution in a recent issue of the Indianapolis Star. The cogent feature of the discussion is the proof that the constitution is not new but simply revised and that the method planned by Governor Marshall for having it substituted for the present constitution is in direct violation of the present constitution. The governor and his advisors ignore the provision for revision in the prevailing state constitution and yet they enact the same section into the substitute. Emery Sellers, the Monticello attorney, who is supposed to have advised with Governor Marshall about ..the “new” constitution, thinks that the method is all right and that if the voters want to determine on a new code of basic laws all they have to do is to say so and vote them in. Blit the constitution of Indiana does not so contemplate and clearly sets out that a revision must come up before two successive sessions of the general assembly. This provision may be ignored by Governor Marshall but we are surprised to think thfct Emery Sellers also ignores them. The suggestion of Mr. Foulke that the courts pass upon the constitution before the question is voted upon seems advisable. The Monticello Journal has the following to say about Mr. Sellers’ position concerning the Marshall constitution: Probably no other man in this section of .the state is, 3 better qualified to speak concerning the proposed amendments to the state constitution than Hon. E. B. Sellers. Many of the 1 proposed changes are in the way of needed reforms for which he has argued this long while and he was not very far away when the bill proposing these amendments was drafted. Because these changes were brought up in what is called by some politicians an irregular way, does not make them bad or revolutionary within themselves. It is only a question of how they were placed before the people that is drawing the fire of many of the newspapers of the state. Children are entitled to as good shoes as men or women. Save their feet by using E. C. Scuffer shoes, which causes the foot to retain its normal shape. We have them in all' leathers. Fendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store, Opera House Blqck. Dr. I. M. Washburn went to Chicago this morning to begin a postgraduate course at the eye and ear infirmary. He will make a special study of eye, ear, nose and throat diseases. He will be in Chicago every Wednesday and Friday afternoon. » Finding that his former private secretary, F. H. Lingham, is an invalid compelled to outdoor life, President Ripley, of the Sana Fe railroad, has presented him with JMKacre ranch, costing $30,000.* where he can live in the genial atmosphere of Southern California. Such an act of humanitarian appreciation of faithful service deserves all commendation. —South Bend Times. The Democrat uses tnost of its reading space to talk about the high school “Chaos," which The Republican is printing. Readers probably do no care to be bothered by a prolonged discussion of no importance to them and of small importance to ourselves. The contract was let to The Republican for |236, which was somewhat higher than the Democrat offered to do the work for, but the management says that it was not satisfied that the Democrat could do the work acceptably, after making an investigation of the equipment of that office. Bab makes a big “hollqr” but knows himself that he could not have turned out the work in a satisfactory manner on the presses be has in his office. The Republican made a bld of $260 originally and we later reduced the bid to >235 and said we would not come lower, that the work well done was worth that sum. We thought it then, we know it now when the book is almost half printed. We don’t give a rap what the Democrat blds, our bid was made on a careful estimate and the subscribers to “Chaos” are certain to be well pleased with the annual, and no former graduate should fail to buy one. Every, knock being a boost, we are sure that "Chaos” will enjoy a sale exceeding the expectations of the management.

Colonel Brown, the “bird and bee man,” closed a busy day here yesterday by giving a free talk about birds last evening in front of the court house. About fifty men, women and children walked with Col. Brown to the south part of town, witnessed the hanging oriole and heard him discuss the habits of many birds. Then all returned to the court Louse and the discussion was continued. He talked of the wren, the oriole, the swallow, the jay bird, the robin, and other birds, told of their habits, methods of encouraging them to build homes with us each year, of the insect life they destroy and of the great value they are to our fruit trees, our meadows and our grain. He wanted it said that of all the places he ever visited he never had more respectful attention paid to him than in Rensselaer and that there was not one particle of inattention during his lectures to the children at the school house. He suggested that if Rensselaer would institute a summer nature study course for two weeks, employing good instructors, properly advertising it and issuing an Invitation to Chicago’s six thousand school teachers, we could have a fine chance of making it successful. His visit was a pleasant one and the seed he sowed fell on many responsive little lives, as well as being instructive and entertaining to the older ones.

Mexican Revolution Looks More Serious Than at Any Other Time.

The resignation of President Diaz seems to have a string to it. He wanted peace declared first. The revolutionists thought he might change his mind and not* resign. They then precipitated a general engagement and all day Tuesday there was fighting in the streets of Jaurez. • The revolution has taken a serious turn and the prospects of peace are more remote than ever before since the revolution began. Shots from the battle Tuesday reached the city of El Paso, Texas., and again the demand is made that President Taft take steps to prevent fighting along the border. The insurrectos seen to be gaining recruits and it is now probable that Madero will assume an active campaign and force the federals to make important concessions. Ex-Trustee Wash Cook, of Hanging Grove township, was a Rensselaer visitor today. Things look pretty good in that part of Jasper. Corn planting will not start extensively before the first of next week; oats is looking good and there is the greatest prospect for fruit there has been in many years. Clyde Fulk has a fine peach orchard that should make him considerable money. H. M. Willits also has a fine orchard.

Gollmar Brothers’ Circus Parade Reveals Character of Show.

The Gollmar Brothers’ show, which exhibits in Rensselaer, Saturday, May 13, features everything connected with it, from the street parade to the concert. The press of other cities have made only the most favorable comment for Gollmar Brothers* parade. Even when the show visits territory where it has never been, its magnificent street pageant so agreeably surprises the public that they are sure to crowd the immense tents. It is in the parade that the management of a circus can show to good advantage the stability and character of the aggregation. If it is a cheap concern, giving only ordinary performances, its parade will tell the tale. If it is really meritorious the street display will demonstrate the fact. The splendid equipment of the great Gollmar Brothers* Circus is .. shown to excellent advantage in the big parade, and it is always complimented. The horses are in fine trim, and the wagons, dens, cages, and chariots are resplendently decorated with costly carvings, gilt and varnish. An unusually large number of dens are open in the parade, and the general public is given a free exhibition of a fine array of wild animals. All in all, it is pronounced by many, the finest and best circus display ever seen upon any streets. But it is in the circus performance that the show excels. The parade of the Gollmar Brothers* show will start from the lot at 10 o’clock sharp, and traverse the principal streets.
