Representatives of the government are at Crawfordsville and have begun a campaign against hog cholera. No one appreciates how great the loss is from this disease, but it is so great that the government is spending much money in experiments looking to some antidote for the disease.

Red Men

The Red Men who led in the Greenfield Fourth of July celebration have every reason to be well pleased with the event. They connected it up nicely with a noted event of theirs, of which they are justly proud. They sure brought a large crowd of people to Greenfield who had a good time.

The order of Red Men is one of the largest fraternal orders in Greenfield. It is made up largely of young men, and the fact that the ordei has succeeded in buying and paying for a nice block in a prominent part of the city, is a thing that not only Red Men, but citizens generally should be proud of. That they may continue to grow, prosper and extend their good influences and beneficences, should be the wish of every good citizen.

The investigations going on at Washington may disclose things that surprise some people, but there are many others that are not the least surprised. Many of the people who are condemning the lobby at Washington seem to forget that the right to lobby with legislators has always been used. It is a natural right. Almost everybody has use it or sanctioned its use. Whenever a measure is before a legislature or congress in which any person is especially interested, one of the first things that comes to his mind is to use his influence with his representative in the body before which the measure is pending. Letters and telegrams are in common use in that connection. Committees are often sent and mass delegations often flock to State Capitals to impress the legislators with the ideas of the people. Threats are common, and no place are they more frequently used than by the common people. Greenfield people have often used the influence of the lobby power. Men in Greenfield have been paid to influence legislation in Indiana. This local reference is made for the purpose of bringing the subject of the lobby business down to a real understanding. So that it may be appreciated that it is a thing that is not confined to the city of Washington or the capitals of New Jersey and New York, but that it is a right claimed in general by the people. If the people have such right, then corporations have such rights. So have labor organizations. Lobbying is not wrong in itself. It is bribery, threats and intimidation which are used by lobbyists which are wrong. The investigations now going on will no doubt., have a good effect, in that they will attract the attention of the people to the practice. They will inforpi and educate them on the subject, and will enable them to distinguish between legitimate and unlawful influences on legislators. They will bring opprobrium on all questionable practices of lobbyists and on dishonest lobbyists individually. Heretofore, on account of the apparent inherent corruption in most politics from the primaries to the election, the bribers and boodlers in politics have maintained a respectability before the public that is scarcely less than a shame on our civilization. A man who would corrupt elections or bribe legislators should be spurned like any other criminal. If the public is awakened to this fact by the investigations now on, well and good.

The Passion Play at Gem. A stereopticon presentation of the celebrated Passion Play will be presented at the Methodist church at Gem next Sunday evening, July 13th, at 7:30 o'clock.

WEST DISCLOSED

One Nest of Twenty Eggs Found in Wheat Field—Bird Remained on Nest Until Wheat was Cut.

There are more Hungarian partridges in the game preserves than generally supposed. The bird is a very shy fowl. It makes no display of its presence. A number of them have been seen during the present harvest. They thrive in wheat, rye and oats fields.

One farmer in cutting wheat, cut over the nest of a Hungarian partridge and she did not leave her nest until the platform of the binder was over her. When the machine passed on and the wheat was cut, a beautiful nest of 20 eggs was exposed. The number of eggs indicates how rapidly these birds would multiply if only protected from hunters. A covey of quails of the Hungarian species is a thing much desired on every farm, and the farmer who has them is inclined to prize and protect them.

There is no question but that these nice birds can be raised so that every farm would have coveys, if the professional hunters, who have no farms and whose only desire is to steal onto the farms of other people and slaughter their game, could be excluded.

The farmers are growing more determined each year against the intrusion of the man who slips on to his farm and kills his birds and squirels, and he will not endure it.

TAKING UP CITIZENS' PIPE LINE

Southern Indiana Gas Company to Make Its Pipe Line More Efficient By Using Citizens' Line

Supt. J. C. Vance, of the Southern Indiana Gas Company, has a gang of men at work taking up a sixinch pipe line on Walnut street. It extends from Noble street to Wood. This is a part of the pipe line system which the Southern Indiana Gas Company purchased from The Citizens Gas Company a year ago. The line is being taken up because the Southern Indiana Company has a line parallel with it on Walnut street. The company now owning the Citizens' pipe line system will be able to use most of the lines in a way to make their own more efficient and to cut out all dead end lines. On one street, where the citizens' line is larger than the Southern Indiana line, the latter will be taken up.
