educational standards. His administration is well on its way, proceeding along lines that, from his experience, seem to him good. I am familiar with Dr. Aley’s purposes and aims in part, and in the event of my election as his successor the people ■of Indiana will have, as nearly as is possible, just what he had intended to give them.” ‘‘The people of Indiana, as elsewhere,” said Mr. Greathouse, "are demanding that the affairs of public office be administered with the ■ame care and business principles that govern private enterprise.

PECK STILL WAITING.

Was Injured in 1902, and Suprama Court Has Case Yet/ On March 8. 1902. while in the employ of the P., C-, C. & St. L. Ry. Co., as a switchman in the City of Logansport, Charles M. Peck was injured by having his right leg crushed through the alleged negligence of an engineer on the same railroad while in charge of one of its locomotives. From that day .to this Peck has, under the Employers’ Liability Law, been endeavoring to obtain justice. His case went to the Supreme Court of Indiana where it now rests, having been buffeted about between the Supreme and Appellate Courts until Peck is bewildered and dazed by the operations of the higher courts of Indiana. For more than eight years he has been trying to get a decision, and apparently he is no nearer to it than when he started. The cause of most of the delay is an inability tn the higher courts to decide which court has jurisdiction. While these two courts are quibbling qver this question of jurisdiction, the costs have accumulated. If now the case is decided against Peck he will have to pay all these costs, which include those incurred by the personal differences between the two courts Section 12 of the Bill of Rights in the Indiana State Constitution provides: “Justice shall be administered speedily, and without delay.” If Peck has ever read this section the ghastly humor of his own situation must have appealed to him. The lower court awarded him $2,400, this verdict being set aside by the Supreme Court. In a retrial he got judgment for $4,000 —and he’s still waiting. His first suit was filed in January. 1903.

CANNOT BE UNFAIR.

Political Parties Restrained By Court in Unjust Reapportionment. It is impossible in Indiana for the Genera] Assembly to make an unjust appointment for Legislative or Congressional purposes. This Is acknowledged to be a fact by all fairminded men, and is clearly shown by Judge Charles E. Cox, of Indianapolis. Democratic candidate for the Supreme bench. "The Republicans are making much ado by word of mouth and through newspapers over the fear that the election of a Democratic General Assembly would bring aboat the enactment of legislative and congressional apportionments so unfair that the Republicans could never again elect a majority of the Legislature or more than one Congressman, and the attempt is made by this bogey to hold their broken ranks together,” said Judge Cox. “That the people do not let an unfair apportionment stand in the way always is evident from the fact that the Democrats carried a majority in the last General Assembly and eleven of the thirteen Congressmen under Republican apportionments not wholly fair. “It is true that the duty Will devolve upon the next General Assembly of making a reapportionment for Legislative purposes and probably for Congressional purposes. But it is also true that it has been settled in Indiana that grossly unfair apportionments cannot stand. The courts stand between such a purpose and its accomplishment and it must be remembered, incidentally that as we elect but two Supreme Judges this year that court, will still have a majority of Republican judges on it if it needs such assurance, although Democratic judges have united with Republican judges in holding grossly unfair apportionment acts invalid.

SPEAKERS ON HORIZON.

August Sees End of Bulk of Work of Democratic Organization. August has been an important month for the Democrats of Indiana. Just now the campaign is in a state of transition from the active work of organization into the speaking Campaign. Of course the work of organization will continue with undiminished vigor until the very last, but the big task of shaping the state into a working Whole will have been concluded before the speaking campaign begins, about Sept. 15. It is conceded that splendid results have been attained in the matter of organization. This is chiefly due to the plan of holding district organization meetings, followed by county meetings in which a well-defined plan of organization was drilled into the precinct committeemen.

A LIE NAILED.

Senator Beveridge’s Press Bureau Makes an Unwarranted Attack. Failing to find any facts that can be used as campaign ammunition Senator Beveridge’s press bureau has resorted to lies and has prepared a letter based upon deliberate falsehood, attacking the Democratic candidate for auditor of state. This letter, it is understood, has been, or is, being mailed to hundreds of Individuals in the state. It charges the candidate for auditor .with having renounced his religion and appeals to its readers not to support him for this reason. The charge is utterly untrue and absolutely without foundation. It is manufactured out of whole cloth and Is only one of many signs of desperation manifested by Senator Bever Idge'a press bureau. Brand ft aa a IK

ton has been the guest of his daughter, Mrs*. Theodore Garrigues. . Old Settlers Day at the Park last Thursday was not as largely attended as it should have been, owing to the rain keeping many away. The address by Ex-Governor Hoch of Kansas was excellent and should have been heard by a much larger' crowd. Sunday was another good day at Fountain Park. Not as large an attendance, of course, as the Sunday previous, but a good big crowd, larger than was hoped for even. The Park management is very well pleased over the patronage received this year. The lecture at Fountain Park last Sunday was certainly one of the worst jumbled up lectures ever made on the Park grounds, and' it was evident to those that heard it — several got up and left before it was over—that the lecturer had mistaken his calling. The P. C. in his case meant Plow Corn instead of Preach Christ.
