OH WELL., it took-an accident to force the Resolute out of the first cup race! * — EXTRA! EXTRA! Stanley Wyckoff has found that it is not necessary t'&r the milkman to increase his prices—again. m V\ AFTER WHILE the newspapers that ought to know will get into igreement as to the total of appropriations made by the third session. fe ■ - ” ' - CONGRATULATIONS are due someone for the fact that after two tears of delay the Millersville and ThirtyWlghth street roads have finally Seen connected. * * EDGAR BUSH thinks the legislature might adjourn this week, but then Bdgar once thought that the republican leaders could be made to see that the tax law was not “the best possible under our constitution.” _ FOUR MEN have now consented to serve on Marion county’s grand jjiry and if someone does not look out there is a possibility that the panel #ill be completed before the coming election. ANYHOW, it’s unfortunate that there should be so little confidence in flie ability of the state administration properly to spend $10,000,000 for a soldiers’ memorial that some legislators oppose the appropriation solely on that ground. Used or Useful? Whatever may be said of the present effort of certain legislators who Sppear to have overlooked the desires of Gov. Goodrich sufficiently to at-; tack the public service commission, it can not be asserted that their action was without timely warning. In the last session of the legislature only a lack of united effort kept the public utility commission alive. Plainly there was an overwhelming sentiment for It'S abolishment Since that time the commission has done little or nothing to overcome that sentiment On the contrary, it has conducted itself in a manner that indicated unfailing faith in the ability of the politicians to control any opposition to its existence that might exist. Whether that faith is misplaced or not remains to be seen. The democratic state platform declares for the abolishment of useless State boards. Probably the commissioners do not admit that they fall binder that classification, but taere are thousands of Indiana citizens who frankly and openly declare that no more useless body of public officials was ever brought into existence than that commission which takes its orders from Gov. Goodrich alone through the medium of its secretary. * It is difficult for the public to understand the importance to the state Os maintaining Carl Mote, when he devotes th greater part of his time to writing campaign propaganda for the republican party or directing pri- 1 mary efforts for some candidate. It is equally difficult to understand the benefits that accrue to Indiana j taxpayers by having E. I. Lewis in charge of the publicity of the republican ! .national convention in Chicago. \ John McCardle’s interest in the movement to make Goodrich president M the United States has not so far been productive of much benefit, either. to Indiana or Goodrich. \ Paul Peter Haynes’s deep study of the burning qualities of gas have not yet resulted in the uncovering of any method of compelling the Citizens Gas Company to live up to its franchise requirements with the city of Indianapolis. Fred Bates Johnson’s “fluence” with the Indianapolis News has not in any visible sense improved the Indianapolis street car situation. To the layman it may not appear that these gentlemen have been of | much benefit to the general public while they were drawing salaries from the state for acting as public utility commissioners. But the mere layman may be mistaken. We are assured on the unimpeachable authority of every hired attorney of every public utility in Indiana that these gentlemen have been of inestimable value to the citizens of the state in their official positions. And as we look out over the public utility situation in Indiana today and see what has happened to the consuming public under the guidance of these very able gentlemen we shudder to think what might have happened had it not been for their strenuous services In the public behalf. Not on Goodrich*s Program Every once in a while some member of Jim Goodrich’s legislature, now enjoying its third session in Indianapolis, comes to the front with an independent thought that so far fails to fit into the program of the ring fosses that it deserves some attention. One of these thoughts is contained !n the bill introduced by Senator Bepler of South Bend designed to make it easier for citizens intent on good government to start ouster proceedings against corrupt, inefficient ©r immoral public officials. The state will agree that such a measure has no place in the Goodrich program. Were this or a similar bill now embodied in the state laws, how long would the present Marion county administration be allowed to exist? If there were any assurances of successful ouster proceedings in the courts under the present laws of the state would Sheriff Miller still he holding office unchallenged? Would Prosecutor Adams still be levying tribute in the form of cutor s fees on the gambling dives? Would Julietta still be under the direction of a superintendent who was declared unfit by the members of a grand jury? Would Mayor Jewett have remained in office after purchasing the garbage plant from Jim Goodrich and others? Would Coroner Robinson still be “covering up” evidence in cases where prisoners have been beaten and injured in county institutions? Would Ralph Lemcke still be charging delinquent tax fees to which the state board of accounts declares be Is not entitled? In short, if these office holders did not feel wholly secure in their positions under the present stranging influences of ring control of courts, ■ grand juries and prosecuting officials, would they dare conduct their offices In the miserable manner In which they are now conducted? Pathetic I There is a pathetic side to the escape of twenty-four prisoner from the county jail, last week, that has not been touched upon—the loss to Sheriff Miller of so m. fly sure-pay boarders. 1 And later, to make matters a bit worse, someone stole his automobile from a parking space near the jail. But to revert to the original subject, that of a landlord’s troubles. / It's bad enough for one to lose a boarder who decamps, leaving behind him an unpaid bill for board, though he at best is a doubtful “prospect”; but how much infinitely more disheartening to lose a whole squad, so to speak, who are sure to pay! Os course some of them have been returned, and the jail is still there, and some remained to serve as a sort of nucleus about which to build Again a satisfactory list of boarders. , 1" But the episode must have been a bit discouraging, from the point of view of a landlord who is presumed to depend on their presence for his compensation. Wanted, an Address . f The follower of Izaak Waiton, be he the humble wielder of a cane gshln’ pole of the one-piece type or one of those creatures who uses an Artificial fly, a pole that comes apart in sections and such piscatorial luxuries, would undoubtedly cherish the permanent address —name not necessary—of the 10,000 fingerlfngs propagated in the Riverside hatchery that were transplanted to various points in the state recently. For the greater portion by far of these small fish were of the large and small mouth black bass variety. Think of the ecstaey of these followers of Walton who knew the address of these growing fish—had it carefully jotted dajvn in a favorite section of their notebooks, perchance, and had only to await that joyous time when they were ready for the fishin’ grasshoppers, badon rind or the aHstocratic^imitation files! $ A A

SNAKES CHARMING BIRDS. Q. Do snakes charm birds. H. O. K. A. The bureau of biological survey states that snakes do not charm birds in the understood sense of the word “charm.’’ The iustinctive fear that a bird ox small animal, such as a rabbit, has for a snake paralyzes the muscles of the bird or animal and prevents its escaping from the snake.

JUNE MARRIAGES. Q. Why are so many people married in June? I. S. F. A. In the,time of ancient Rome, Juno, wife of Jdpiter, was the patroness of happy marriages. May, named for the Goddess Mala, was considered unpropitlous, while March was named for Mars, the God of War, and would therefore be a poor time to marry, since family disputes might follow. DAK-BUNGALOWS. Q. What are. dak-bungalows ? J. B. G. A. These are small one-storied houses, erected by the British government in I India. They are set along the military roads j

According to Pliny, it was introduced Into Greece from Media at the time of the Persian wars with King Darius, about 470 B. C. Media or Persia is probably the region of its original culture. Red clover is the most important of all leguminous forage crops, both on account of its high value as feed and from the fact that it can be so well employed in rotation*. “BLACK HOLE OF CALCUTTA.” Q.
