VOCATIONAL EDUCATIONAL LAW CONSTITUTIONAL

Supreme Court Says -Officers May Be Mandated to Perform Duties Thereunder.

The supreme court has just rendered a decision on the vocational educational law declaring it constitutional. The text of their do cision follows: . “State ex rel Simpson et al vs. Meeker et al, etc. Fountain C. C. Reversed. Spencer, J. (1) Action for mandate by appellants to compel appellees, as members of county council, to apportion $1,500 under ■provisions of Sec. 12 of the vocational education law, Acts 1913, P. 43; Sec. 66411 L. Burns, 1914. The trial court sustained a demurrer to the complaint. On appeal appellees contend the law is unconstitutional. (2) The vocational education law is constitutional. (3) The officers of the county and state may be mandated to perform their duties thereunder, as. the word “shall!” in the law denotes duty and not discretion. (4) The law is not special and local in its operation in such manner as to make it unconstitutional. (5) The fact that it may 'be adopted in one county and not in another, thus creating lack of uniformity in the school system, does not make it unconstitutional. (6) The fact an appointive power is vested in Purdue University is not against the law,, (7) The fact that it may increase local taxes is not against the law. (8) The objections urged against the law were for the legislature and not the courts. (9) The manner of selection of officers whose election is not provided for by the constitution is for the legislature. (10) The manner and control of education is for the legislature. (11) Sec. 12 of the law does not confer a special privilege on an aihitrary class persons, but (Supplies the method whereby tire benefits of the law are available, (12) The county is not an independent factor of government, but is a creature of the legislature to further the interests of the state and its inhabitants.”

Some Recent Successes of Republican Classified Ads.

Mrs. J. C. Maxwell, of Hanging Grove township, lost $4 in paper money from her purse while on Washington street. She placed a 25-eent ad in The Republican and the money was restored to her. It had been found by Marshall P. Rhoades, father of C. W. Rhoades, the barber, who saw the ad and brought tne money to this office. A tailor-made coat belonging to John Luers was lost. A classified ad in The Republican was seen by Tul Malone, who had found the coat, and it was thus restored to its owner. An “Irish Mail” wagon was taken from the yard of E. D. Rhoades and an ad was placed in The Republican. Some one who had seen the wagon in possession of another reported to Mr. Rhoades, who went after it and brought it home with him.

•William Markin, was in a few days ago to pay for a classified ad which had sold a team of horses for him. The ad cost 70 cents. A classified ad for the sale 'of some old lumber brought a buyer a half hour after The Republican was oil the press. These are but a few of the numerous successes that follow advertising in this paper. The rate is low, the circulation large and satisfaction is certain to ensue if you advertise in The Republican’s classified columns.

Moody Chautauqua at Cedar Lake Likely to Come True.

Crown Point Star. The story the Star told last week concerning the Moody Bible Institute cf Chicago buying the Monon park for Chautauqua grounds at Cedar Lake, has great promise of coming true, and if the deal is consummated those grounds will undergo a great change from earlier times when the Chicago picnics brought tough people in every Sunday by the hundreds to dance, drink beer and fight. It will please all the people in and around the lake, and in fact all in Lake county if the deal goes through.

Crown Point Uncertain How Free Delivery Will Be.

Crown Point Star. Our people will have to “wait and watch” before they judge the free maul delivery. It is found by a canvass that 700 homes and business places are on the walks that will get the delivery, and approximately 150 are on the outskirts of the city where there are no walks and they will not be blessed. The three, city papers will be obliged to come out early to get their papers in the afternoon delivery, and ft is believed there will be too many for the carriers to “tote” at one time. The Star for instance will put in enough in the city delivery (600) to weigh close to a hundred pounds, and with the other two papers added, all coming out the same day, it seems it will be a heavy burden for the carriers. These papers heretofore have been delivered free of postage for the publishers and from now on the same rate of postage will be charged as for those going to any state in the union. That-will be no feathers in the printers’ hats. Many are yet undecided on keeping their boxes or drawers in the postoffice and to tell the truth Crown Pointers will have to try the new tangled scheme before they know where they are at. It is a new thing for “old sleepy hollow” to digest and we must have time before a verdict is handed in.

Brewers Getting Bolder; Propose Roberts for Governor.

The multiplication of parties is the liquor interests’ opportunity, and the signs of the times are so encouraging in this respect that Bonn Roberts, of Terre Haute; has been trotted out by the Crawford Fairbanks brewery' machine as the next democratic candidate for governor. Roberts is the man who was recently tried in Vigo county tor election frauds, and whose acquittal was followed by a jamboree of all the saloon and brewery interests and their sympathizers. The announcement of Bonn’s candidacy was made at Evansville during the recent meeting of the Democratic Editorial Association, at which Crawford Fairbanks was present. According to reports, some of the editors were mad enough at the activity of Roberts and Fairbanks to “bite nails in two.”
