JUDGE BUNDY'S DECISION. The decision of Judge Bundy In the case against the Greenfield druggists has again concentrated interest in the questions involved. Several months ago some of the Greenfield druggists entered pleas of guilty in the circuit court to violations of the liquor law. City attorney, W. C. Wei born, took the view that if the druggists had violated the state laws they had also violated the city ordinance and were subject to further tines. He subsequently instituted prosecutions and the druggists were brought into the Mayors court tried before juries and acquitted. Several cases were compromised. The other cases were appealed to the Circuit court
The case decided b}^ Judge Bundy Thursday was against Ross A. Coopen iln the prosecution of these cases the city attorney has met with strong opposition, not alone from legal sources, but also from public sentiment. There is no question but that many good citizens thought he was carrying the matter too far. The decision of the circuit court would indicate that he was right on the legal questions involved and the settlement of the law shoule tend to stop the illegal sale of liquor by druggists. The city will be ahead about $1000. in fines and out nothing in costs of the cases. To say the least Mr. Wei born has won a hard fight against great opposition, and for this, whether popular or not, he deserves as a public officer, all the credit that there is in it. He did it not as a personal matter, but as an official duty.
Mrs. Irene V. Webb of Indianapolis was in Greenfield Thursday soliciting for the Indiana Children's Home Society. She was also looking after good homes in which to place children. The society which she represents goes on the theory that while their temporaay home at Westtield is a good place to take destitute children as a temporary home, still no orphanage is a good place to rear a child. They therefore seek the earliest opportunities to place the children in private homes where they can be taught lessons of practical life and feel the independence of doing somesomething-. Mrs. Webb has decided opinions against children growing up with the consciousness that they are objects of charity, The faithful men and women who are contributing their whole time in this homeplacing work are doing much for unfortunates and also socie-
ty. They deserve the encour agement and financial support of every citizen of our stale. Wealth}' citizens of Indiana could not do better with their money than endorse so worthy an institution., §fX,-
The Washington (D. C) Humane soceity undertook a few days before Easter to prevent the sale of little live chicks as Easter favors and was able to so cut down the sales that it is doubtful if merchants will engage in the industry next year. That little chickens should be sold as souvenirs to be put to death by kindness or neglect is out of all harmony with Easter messages and the church as well as the societies for the prevention of cruelty to dumb animals should co-operate to discourage the traffic another year.
In this country we are so engaged in protecting propertjr from everybody but the trusts that we are conspicuously less concerned about the protection of human lives than other countries. In England severe laws have reduced the deaths on railways to a percentage far be low ours and in France and Italy the killing of humble pedestrains by automobilists is attended by such risk to liberty and property as to appall Americans wno take machines there.
William Allen White declares that congressmen are messenger boys, but that depends on what you want. If it is garden seeds the faithful congressman will trudge about from place to place picking out the choicest to be forwarded under his frank, but if it is the rate regulation you want you may have to drop over to the senate.
Nothing could be more expressive and unequivocal than the governor-general of Canada that the idea of annexing Canada to the United States is as little entertained by Canadians as the idea of annexing the United States to Canada is by the citizens of the United States. 'i

Jars bought wholesale at high prices were not sold readily for the spring trade, and a reduction has been made because of large stocks." ^Quart glass jars are now selling wholesale at $4.25 a gross. At the first of the year, when jobbers ordered jars foi future delivery, the price was #4. There is ordinarily, an advance of about 10c a month during the season, made necessary by increased orders. This advance which would have put the price to $4.40 a gross if strictly adhered to, has not been made this season, owing largely to conditions of retail stocks.

Mr. Harrison decided at the opening of the present season to enter the field of vaudeville, and seems to have been succesful from the very start. He may safely be counted upon for a bright contribution containing plenty of good fun.
That funny trio of farceurs Watson, Hutchings and Edwards, will be th' next feature of importance on the bill, appearing in the amusing travesty, "The Vaudeville Exchange," with which they scored such a hit last season. Harry Watson is known as one of the best of Dutch comedians, and Miss Alice Hutchings is a feminine fun-maker of much talent. Mr, Edwards is a light comedian
