Indianapolis Hotels Are Accused of Gouging Visitors.

An editorial in the Indianapolis Nows entitled ‘The Hotel Gouge,” goes after the Indianapolis hostleries that boosted their in order to make fat off the race visitors. A traveling man who frequently visits that city discussed the proposition with The Republican and Said that all newspapers of the state should protest against the habit that the hotels of the state have of boosting rates whenever there is a demand for additional accommodations. Indianapolis is fortunately well located in the central part of the state and with exceptionally good railroad facilities, which it a desirable city for holding conventions, and every day there are gatherings there of the people of the state. Many national conventions are held there and this makes the hotel business good, but it should not license the hotels to indulge in an increase of rates Just because there are an extra large number of people in the town.

The News truthfully argues- that an innkeeper is a public functionary, has been held so by Jaw, and having established a fixed rate, it should have no more right to increase that rate than, a railroad would have if there was some increased traffic in sight Railroads never did this, even .during the old days when there was no regulation. The hotels have established a schedule of prices, presumably making them high enough to permit making a fait return on their Investment. When,-therefore, they raise their -rates to double, treble and quadruple the established price, they are profiting illegitimately and should be restrained by law. '

HOOSIER EGGS ARE WEALTH PRODUCERS

Indiana Crop of Hen Fruit Worth $60,000,000 Annually But 10 Per Cent is Lost Carelessly. .- - x Indianapolis, June 4.—lndiana’s egg crop is worth $50,000,000 a year. Indiana produces one-twelfth of the egg crop of the entire country The hen creates more wealth for Indiana than any half-dozen of her manufacturing industries. But while the ' manufacturer watches every penny and cuts expenses to the last notch, at least ten per cent of all the eggs gathered in Indiana are broken or spoiled before they get to market. If the Indiana egg crop is marketed promptly it will bring at least $5,000,000 per year more to the farmers than it brings now. This information is contained in a statement just issued by H. H. Barnard, state food and drugs commissioner. The Indiapa pure food departm'ent is endeavoring to make the people of the state understand that it is an easy matter to take care of eggs and thus to increase the crop and the income for it. The. department has just issued the following suggestions in this regard: To the Farmer. Produce only infertile eggs for market, as they do not spoil as quickly as fertile ones. Dispose of the roosters as soon as eggs needed for hatching are obtained. The eggs will keep better and the hens will lay just as many of them. Provide plenty of, clean nests with clean straw in them. Gather eggs twice daily in hot weather and store them in a cool, sweet, well ventilated place, but do ndt store where damp. Do not wash eggs. Market eggs as often as possible and carry them gently. Do not sell eggs from stolen nests. Use them at home. Protect eggs from the sun when taking them to market. Eggs exposed to hot sunffhine for one hour will spoil; this applies to infertile as well as fertile eggs. Candle your eggs and insist upon having them candled by the purchaser so that he may know he is buying good eggs and pay accordingly. You will thus reap the advantage for the care you have given them. Send a postal card to the secretary of agriculture, Washington, D. C., and ask for a copy of Year Book Separate No. 522, which explains the operation of candling and grading for eggs. To Egg Buyers. Candle all eggs and buy only on “loss off” basis. Return all bad eggs to the farmer. Encourage him to produce good, clean* eggs by paying him less for the other kind. 'Store eggs in a cool, sweet and dry place. - Use only clean, dry fillers for packing. Forward eggs to commission men as often as possible. Do not deliver to railway, until shortly before train time. Keep eggs out of the sun. _ . _

Churchmen at Annual Synod Condemn Use of Weed and SubmH I Edict of Vital Consequence. •

Bloomington, Ind, June 4.—Tobacco and its uses was the cause of a warm debate at today’s session of the annual synod of the Reformed Presbyterian church of the United States and Canada.

The Church now refuses to license a minister, elder or deacon, or to appoint a Sunday School superintendent or teacher Who uses tobacco in any way and it is proposed to bring the members up to the same'standard.

'At the request of last year’s synod, the temperance committee today submitted an overture on the subject, which, if adopted, will be sent to the Presbyteries for ratification. The overture follows: "The use of tobacco is an acquired, undesirable and sinful habit and it? effect is hurtful to the body and mind. Clinch members should not set this example before the youth. We testify against the production, sales or use of tobacco as being incompatible with the highest forms of Christian conduct.”

Dr. W. J. Coleman, of Pittsburg, Pa., dedared that he favored the overture against the use of tobacco by church members, but that old, members already using it Should not be put out of the church. The overture finally wias tabled, but will be brought up later.

D EMOCRATIC MACHINE TRAVELS ROUGH ROAD

Blunderbus Management, Reckless Extravagance and New Offices Have Created Trouble.

_ - •£ . yr : Indianapolis, Ind., June 3.—Engineers Of the Indiana democratic machine are beginning to realize that the road they will be compelled to travel this year will' be rather rocky compared with the smooth way over which they ran their machine two years ago. The imposing obstacles ,that are now looming up are causing considerable worry and apprehension among the politicians who figure! that the democratic party in Indiana has been committed to their care “to have and to hold.” Two months ago they confidently expected that division in the ranks of the republicans would be sufficient to bring victory to their standard no matter how “strong” they might go in their nominations and manipulations. For a time they refused to accept at their face value the ample indications that ttie republicans of Indiana were rapidly being reunited in their opposition to the free trade party, but at last these 'evidences have been piled so high that they can no longer deceive even themselves that they have a ghost of a show of winning in Indiana this year if they .rely solely on division in the ■republican ranks. The practical disappearance of the bull moose party, as such, has thrown the candidates on the democratic state ticket into a panic. They are railing at the organization leaders and besieging them to “get busy;” they are bringing every pressure possible to bear on President Wilson to promise to make a speech in Indiana this fall in an effort to stem the tide toward republicanism; they are trying heroically to divert the attention of the (Voters of the state from the two real issues—tariff and taxes; they rave analyzed the results of the recent primaries in Indiana, showing great republican gains and startling democratic and progressive losses and they have about come to the conclusion that everything is working together for the good of those who follow the G. O. P. The democratic machine leaders and their state candidates are almost dumfounded by the manifestations of activity of the republican workers in every county of Indiana; the remarkably large attendance at the various county conventions has caused them to sit up and wonder; they seem at a loss to comprehend why thererhas been such a change in public sentiment in favor of the republicans during the past two months. They seem to be unable to realize that the republicans of Indiana, in their recent state convention, nominated one of the cleanest tickets that was ever presented to the voters of Indiana and adopted a platform which has been pronounced one of the most progressive documents ever presented by any political party in any state. -™- = Business, agriculture and political conditions are all working to the benefit of the republican party. The unsatisfactory workings of the democratic tairiff bill are making republicans by the hundreds in Indiana each passing day. That’s the real reason why the democratic machine leaders are waking up to the feet that they have got a hard task cut out for them if they beat the Indiana republican ticket this year. The realization that the bull moose vote In the state this year will not be large enough to materially aid the democratic ticket has given the democratic machine leaders and the state candidates a feeling akin to seasickness.
