Urn A ballot that has been lost sight of in the more generally interesting contest for votes is that looking to the improvement of lawyers.
In addition to voting for congressmen, State, county and township officials on Tuesday, the voter is also called upon to vote on an amendment to the
21 of Article 7, provides that "EJvery person of good moral character, being a voter, shall be entitled to. admission to practice law in all courts of justice." It will be noted that ,6 this makes no lestriction except "good moral character." There is no requirement for any knowledge or experience. To change this condition two Legislatures have agreed to submit the following to the people as an amendment to the section: "The General Assembly shall, by laws, prescribe what qualifications shall be necessary for admission to practice law in all courts of justice."
The object is to allow the Legislature to provide for some reasonable examination of a candidate for admission to the bar.
A doctor has to be examined and get a license before he can practice medicine. It is said everybody can se^that it would be dangerous to the public to let an ignoramas figure as a skilled physician and kill or ruin the health of the people who trusted him. On the same principle a man should not be allowed to have the opportunity to lose people's property, or endanger their lives or liberty, by not understanding how to take care of their legal rights "when employed to do so, and in fact this sort of thing is really nothing more than a requirement •f common honesty. It is on 7tfHthe same principle as the requirement of the pure food law that an article shall bear a label ,sto) showing what it really is. Before a man is labeled a lawyer v. be must be required to give some evidence that he is one.
At present, under our system, a lawyer need only be merely a man with a "good moral character.' ment.

"Private Brands of Meanness" was the subject of an unusually pointed sermon last night at the Christian church by the pastor, the Rev, V. W. Blair. A large audience was present and heard the preacher it in re
He brought out the fact thato a troubled conscience comes
from the mean things we do
actions that we should watch
and not those,of another. "We must take the chip out of our own eyes before removing the speck from the others," be said. "A man criticises a girl for chewing gum while he has a cud of tobacco in bis own mouth another condemns a chicken thief and he is himself guilty of the theft of virtue." "We are all ready to exterminate our own faults but magnify faults of others. We have excuses abundant for ourselves but none for those whom we condemn/ We should concentrate our attention on our own faults and weaknesses and call but little attention to others' until we are made pure in Christ."
Some of the pastor's sentences were: "The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde existence is low. "A hqjanonious development should be our ideal "There is no virtue in pretension. Sin will out." "Even if one can not excel in' any special pow^r, a well balanced life is attainable for all. "Our discordant lives are like a piano out of tune." "We should not judge one another, but should be severe in judging ourselves."^ •*:s"vVhile blinded in sin we can't save our neighbor. The beam must first go." 1 "The truly religious are the most merciful." "It is not what the world judges mean in us that counts. It is our own private brands of meanness." "Nothing can compensate for wronging seif." "God may forgive 111 but we may go down until we can't forgive ourselyes—and that is hell." 1
In cheating others we cheat ourselves most of all." "Consciousness of double dealing and sham will at length if unchecked, cause us to despise all good and to damn our own souls, for he that wrongs his friends wrongs himself more and ever bears about a silent court of justice in his breast, himself the juclge and jury, and himself the prisoner at the bar, ever condemned." "In failing to overcome these faults we are destroying our mortal sanctity and inmortal felicity."
In conclusion, Dr. Blair said: "A generation ago men preach ed hell so much that there was a reaction, a wholesome one, against evil attributes clothing eternal love, but now the pendulum is swinging to, the other] extreme and many regard God as a Divine Eli, too good na-1 tured to rebuke what is evil or! to punish that which is wrong. 'Be not deceived, God is not, mocked.'

The canvass of the vote of Indiana will be made with less delay this year than heretofore. Formerly the vote was canvassed by the election inspectors Thursday following the election but now the law provides that as soon as the vote of each precinct has been'counted the inspector shall at once take the same to the office of the county clerk at his office. The county elerk immediately turns it over to the canvassing board. Formerly the canvassing board was composed of the inspectors of the different precincts. The canvassing board as now constituted is made up of the elec tion commissioners. This year they are: The county clerk, John M. Hall, Earl Sample and N. R. Spencer. They are required to report at the county •clerk's office at 6 o'clock on the evening of the election and re main there until the canvass of the votes is completed.^
It is probable that the entire vote will be in and canvassed by 10 o'clock Wednesday.

A very large congregation was present. Prof. W. C. Goble and Judge Felt attended and gave the principal part of the work of the convention. Chas. F. Reeves, Judge Felt's wife and mother and son, Truman were also in attendance. A number of persons signified their intention of taking up the study of the life of Christ. A special feature was the songs rendered by an octet of young men from Mr. John Kitterman's Sunday School class of the Friends' church, of Shirley. Tbe young men are about eighteen years of age and their •ongs were beautifully rendered and of the deepest spiritual nature. The officers for the en. suing year were elected as follows:

FamHy of Musicians Turn Down Good Offer.
Elwood Barnard, of Indianapolis, was in Greenfield today looking aftr?r business matters. He is the head of the Barnard Family orchestra. He says that his family will not travel this season on account of tbe fact that be wants two of his children to be iu school.
Their orchestra bad some fine oifers to contract for the season, one company offering them $50 more per week than they received last year, but they felt that they could not afford to take 4 their children out of school. -v
Last year tbey started on November 1st and gave entertainmetits until April 15th. During that time they only missed four week nights andvin addition gave entertainments more than half of the Sunday-aigfits. They missed only one engagement during that time ard that was caused by a delayed train. The country was of such a nature that they could not reach the place by driving. They were in many different states.
Though they will not take a season engagement they will play for entertainments in cities close to Indianapolis where they can run out and back home without loss of time to children in school.
They will also do commencement work next spring and summer.

New I. & E. Stops Cause Confusion.
Many patrons of the interurban line were annoyed yesterday by what appeared to them to be strange actions ^on the part of the car crews. Signals for some of the cars were disre garded at Spring, East and State streets, and the would-be travelers were left gazing at the vanishing car, wondering if Greenfield was no longer considered a stop. The new stop orders issued by the company and announced in last week's papers, had evidently not been understood by many persons and there were several disappointments in consequence,coming as it did on one of .the jbusiest days of the week.
Under the new arrangement, the local cars do not stop at Spring or East streets, these old stops being in such close proximity to the new station.
is that it now stops at the new station instead of the old.

The services at the M. P. church yesterday were interesting and profitable and largely attended in the evening. The pastor preached in the morning on "The First Thing in the World," and in the evening on "The Last Thing in the world." In the morning discourse he maintained the primacy of faith and in the evening he spoke of her beautiful sister, "Hope," who walks beside us all the way the personification of that prin ciple which "Springs eternal in the human breast."
The Christian Endeavor meetings are increasing in interest and attendance aind seven new members were received into the Sunday school.
The members of this church are looking forward with much interest to Old Folks Day, Nov. 18. It is provable that the old hymn books are being dug up for use on this occasion.
The Teachers Training class has grown to twenty-six members and will meet at the parsonage this evening for recitation. Rev. W. W. Lineberry, the pastor, is the teacher and Miss Selmi Stephens the secretary and treasurer.

A big revival meeting is iaprogress at the M. E. church in New Palestine. The Rev. Foster, an evangelist of much power and influence, is conducting tbe meeting with the assistance of •the pastor, the Rev. John Machlam, The meeting began a week ago and several were added to the membership of the church during the week, s"
Saturday night the meeting war adjourned to the three saloons of the town where hymns were sung and prayers offered. The members of the church were fed by the evangelist and pastor and accompanied by the Revt Mr. Chram, pastor of the G. E% Z. church.

The saloon men treated their visitors with all courtesy and with few exceptions the men in the places showed a proper respect to the worshipers. Some young men continued their amusement until the .evangelist started to sing "Tell Mother I'll be There," when they too gave respectful attention.
The visit of the church people was not made as a spirit of eiu mity but they believed it the. only means of reaching men with, the message they had to deliver. A member of the church said to--day: "Our services were attended all week by the ladies of tbe city, but it appeared the men would not come so we de* cided to go to them and not only visited the saloons, but other places where there was a congregation. I nor any of us have ill will toward the men engaged in the liquor business in our town but believe it our duty and know it to be our pleasure to da all we can to prevail upon them to make a change."
The revival will continue all this week.
Answering The Lady.^
A lady asked us why we recommended By-lo Talcum Powder so strongly. We do so because there are so many cheap and impure talcums on the market, and we want our customers to have the best. We do so because By-lo Talcum Powder is as fine as any face powder. We do so because By-lo Talcum Powder has the finest violet odor that we have ever found in any toilet powder—a delicate and refined but wonderfully lasting violet, which pleases every lady who trios it. We do so because By-lo Talcum Powder is made by a company that we know personally to be reliable, and know that they would not put out a poor article*. We do bqi
because By-lo
Tal
cum Powder is put up in a v^ry liberal can—nearly twice as large as most of the advertised stingy little packages— hence you get extra value in By-lo. Here's what we will do—if you buy By-lo Taloutn Powder of us and do not like it, we will return your money without argument.
