"In the interpretation of that provision of the Constitution it is recognized that to so carry it out as to provide for exactly equal representation is practically Impossible and. hence, we are content with the rule that as close an approximation as can reasonably be made must suffice. "In determining whether the complaint by its allegations takes the act of 1903 without the provisions of the Constitution as Interpreted for the purpose under consideration we are not left solely to our own conclusions, but have the benefit of wellestablished precedents growing out of the consideration of similar cases by our own Supreme Court.

ONE MAN'S INFLUENCE IN PULASKI POLITICS Carl W. Riddick, of the Winamac Republican, Is a Tower of Strength to His Party. ESSENTIALLY SELF-MADE Special to the Indianapolis Journal. W INAMAC, Ind., Feb. .Carl W. Riddick. the youthful editor of the Winamac Republican. Is fast converting the rockribbed Democratic stronghold of Pulaski county into a safely Republican bailiwick by the strength and forcefulness of his editorial utterances. Mr. Riddick was born at Wells, Minn., in 1S72. Laying the foundation of his education in the public schools of his native State, he supported himself at the Universities of Minnesota and Wisconsin by working at the printing trade. At the age of twenty he became night foreman of a paper at Madison, Wis., and on completion of his college work purchased the Journal at White Pigeon, Mich. In 1899 he purchased the Winamac Republican, and since has bought the building and ground housing his establishment, besides built a handsome residence on the bank of the Tippecanoe river. Mr. Riddick, ; like his rival. Colonel Ingram, of the Win amac Democrat, is a total abstainer from tobacco, Intoxicants and profanity. His strong editorials are having a marked effect on political sentiment in Pulaski county, and it Is chiefly due to this influence that the large Democratic pluralities in the county have been about eliminated.

Britt and his son. three years old, who have recovered from smallpox at the detention hospital, are now sick with the measles. made but one statement: "I have told my story, and it ii- in the Indianapolis Journal this morning." New light was thrown on the probable course the supposed murderer took, after accosting Miss Griffin, by the young woman herself, yesterday. In her only unofficial statement she told the Journal each detail of the events, which seem to corroborate the theory that the murderer was a well-known man of Bedford. "I could not imagine anything like murder when the unknown man followed me." said Miss (Irlffin. "I was walking to Mr. Sholty's house, taking the shortest a. which led through unfrequented streets. The man may have thought he could get acquainted, as I was in a happy mood, and singing Bedelta.' " In reply to a question on the latter statement, Miss Gritfin said: The singing must have been heard at least a block, maybe farther. I didn't wear a Tarn o'Shanter. My hat was a large one, and a curving pliime on the hat would give anyone the impression that it was a Tarn O'Shanter. "The Sholtys live between N and L streets on Sixteenth street: I walked, on the return to their house, down Sixteenth street, having turned up from the railroad on Fourteenth street, walking to K and then to Sixteenth street. Just before I reached Dr. Emery's office, at the corner of K and Fifteenth streets. I noticed that the man who had followed me was a few steps ahead. Suddenly he stopped. "He turned squarely around. I knew that he was looking at me, but carried my umbrella so that he could not see my face. I couldn't, of course, recognize him. and the only thing which distinguished him was his overcoat, which was bespattered with mud from the bottom half way up the back." Miss Griffin's statements show that the spot where she was almost halted Is one and one-half blocks from the shed where detectives say the murder of Miss Schäfer was committed, and the stranger, according to Miss (irlffin. turned at the next corner and took a course parallel with the alley. "I am ready to go to Bedford to tell my story to the Investigating committee, " said
