SENATE VOTES AGAINST MOVE TO CENTRALIZE Amendment to Make State Superintendent’s Office Appointive Killed. GOODRICH DREAM IS HIT Former Governor James P. Goodrich’s dream of a highly centralized form of State government, In which the whole system revolved around the chief executive, rapidly is being discarded by the Legislature. The latest movement along this line was the defeat in the Senate yesterday afternoon of the proposed constitutional amendment making the office , of the State superintendent of public in- j structlon appointive instead of elective. The vote was So to 12. This proposed amendment and the one 1 providing that the office of clerk of the Supreme Court should be appointive, which was killed Wednesday, were proposed originally by the Republican State platform of 1918 under the dire<tion of Mr. Goodrich. Under his direction the Legislature passed these amendments two years ago, dividing almost strictly along party lines. PATRIOTISM BEFORE POLITICS. The amendment concerning the office of the State superintendent was sponsored bv Senator William E. English. Indianapolis. as a Republican platform measure. This drew the file of Senator Joseph E. Henley, Bloomington, a Democrat, who declared that he held “patriotism before politics.” The debate from then on resolved itself Into a general slap at the manner in which the office of the State superintendent oi. public Instruction has been conducted. The slap at this office was the second one of the day, the previous one being the introduction of a resolution by Senator Howard Cann, Frankfort, condemning the State board of education for making five-year contracts for textbooks at an increase in cost estimated at more than SIBO,OOO a year. The resolution was withdrawn by its author, who announced that it would be introduced again today. Senator James J. Nejdl, Whiting, charged that Indiana is seventeenth in educational work because the General Assembly “has been niggardly in providing funds," while Senator A. H. Beardsley, Elkhart, declared It was because the people elects the State superintendent rather than permitting the Governor to choose him, EDUCATOR OR POLITIC LAN. Senator Oscar Ratts. Paolt. said the question was whether the State “wanted an educator or a politician in the office." He voted for the amendment. The second bill to be sent to the Governor In the regular order was House Bill No. 8, providing that up to SOO acres of land owned by colleges may be exempt from taxation instead of 320 acres, ns at present. The Senate also passed a bill providing for the appointment of a special bailiff In each county to jurors when venirs are exhansted'and a bill providing that school boards shall appropriate money to pay the premiums ou the bonds of treasurers of such boards. The Moorhead bill providing for the curbing of rent profiteering was re-

Fred Masters’ bill to give transfer companies the right to take a leln on articles handled by them was lost yesterday by a vote of 26 to 23. A bill changing the time in the elecI tion of the judge of the Thirty-seventh i Judicial district in Franklin County was ■ passed. It will extend the term of the present Judge and will bring the next judicial election In the same year as the regular county election Is held. Discovery was made In Senate Thursday afternoon that Senate bill No. 120, Introduced by Senator Paul Maier of Griffin, hed been tampered with in such a man- | ner that it was indicated on the printed copy that all but one section had been stricken out. The bill would authorize the State board of health to test medicines sold as remedies for consumption. The measure was reported out of the committee with a favorable majority report and an unfavorable minority report. 1 It tame back from the printer with the word "cancel" written in pencil beside each section, with the exception of the last one. These sections, therefore, were printed in “cancelled” type, indicating that they were stricken out by the committee. The committee, however, made no such changes in the bill. Senator Tague's bill prescribing the size of tires and tonnage of automobile trucks that can be driven over wet and thawing roads, was adopted by a vote of 34 to 8. Senator Arthur R. Baxter or Indianapolis introduced a bill In the Senate that would Increase the speed limit for automobiles from eight to fifteen mile® an hour In congested districts of the city, trom ten to twenty-five in other parts of the city and from twenty-five to thirty-five In the country. The Senate passed Senate bill No. 61, providing bonds may be issued for repair of public highways or building of bridges. The vote was 28 to 14. Senate bill No. 111, providing amendments to the present school transportation act, was passed, 33 to 2. Tb* measure broadens the scope of the school transportirtion act. A protest against establishment of a State constabulary reached the Senate In a petition from local No. 67, United Mine Workers of America of Newburg. The miners declared that resident offh-ers are able to handle law violators in Indiana and that nonresident officers are not 1 necessary.

PLUCKED BALD BY TWO SWEETHEARTS

_||||jp| |. mil*- ■'

WILLIAM EILLEB. A middle aged man with two sweethearts, the one younger and the other older than himself. Is the hero of a fable written many centuries ago. The younger woman, unwilling to see in her lover any signs of encroaching age, plucked tbo gray hairs from his head. The older woman, equally jealous against his show ing any of the favors of youth, plucked the black hairs from his head. Between them they plucked him bald—and then they forsook him. The experiences that many Indianapolis people are telling about Pepgen remind one of this story. They show how soma stomachs are cruelly treated. For lmmedale relief a drastic drug la

ponred into the stomach already raw and distressed. One function or another thereupon becomes feverishly active. To offset this harmful violence, another drug of opposite effect and equally drastic Is poured down. In a desperate state at last, the stomach la wholly disordered. If the man in the fable had had one wife Instead of two sweethearts, he would have fared happily through life with a full head of hair. If distressed stomachs hud as their ally healing, soothing roots and barks, such as are used lu preparing Pepgen, they would be better off than If dosed with drastic drugs and strong cathartics. Everywhere that Pepgen has been introduced, the people are praising it. Thousands of bottles have been shipped to Louisville, Ky. And thousands of people in that city have given signed as to the relief they have experienced. None of the statements are more interesting than that of William Eulier, 142 S. Third street, Louisville, Ky., who says: “I had stomach trouble with attacks of acute Indigestion. Gas formed in my stomach and pressed up against my heart and lungs. At times it almost took my breath. “I couldn’t eat meats or any heavy food. For three months I was limited to cereals. One day when I was at my sister’s house for dinner, and she bad a big one, I told her I couldn’t eat a bite us It. She said: ‘Why don’t you take Pepgen for your stomach trouble? It helped me and I know it will help you, too.’ “That’* how I came to take Pepgen and 1 am mighty glad that my slater made the suggestion. Pepgen relieved uiy indigestion so that I can eat anything now. "I recommend Pepgen very strongly.” Those who wish to try Pepgen may obtain it from Huder’s drug stores, Washington and Pennsylvania Sta., Illinois and Sts., or from any other leading drug store anywhere,—Advertisement.
