Coal Workers Run Shelburn Special. Senator Beveridgo spoke In the hoftrt of the mining region of Indiana. It was tho firrt speech he has dßjlvored In this campaign to an audience composod almost exclusively of worklngmon. The people of Shelburn say thoro la more coal under the earth In this vicinity than In any other spot on the globe. There are 11 mines In this Immediate locality and tho whole community depends upon the mining industry. If there ever was any doubt that the miners are Sonator Beverldg's friends, that doubt was dispelled. He was given a royal greeting and there were many Indentions that he stands high in the regard of the men who mine the "black diamonds." Ono of the most remarkable dom-
Publlclty is Real Remedy. Wider and more timely publicity of reports of conditions mndo to tho board of state charities concerning county Jails, county poor asylums, county orphans' homes and other institutions which como directly or Indirectly under tho nttentlon of tho board is ndvoacd by Governor
Marshall as a means of obtnining bet
ter nnd quicker-reforms In the nd ministration of affairs and of condi
tions in tho institutions.
"Timely publicity." said tho gover
nor. "Is the greatest incentlvo to reform. Tho county board of commis
sioners which knows that the state
at large Is to learn at once of bad conditions in the county Jail or tho
county poor asylum, the Jailer or su
perintendent who knows ho Is to have
his administration held up to state
wide notice, nnd the board of trus
tees of a private institution which
knows that it cannot keep hidden any
of the affairs of such institution are more likely to hasten the remedy of
objectionable things.
My Idea Is that when an agent of
the state board visits nn institution
and finds Just grounds for criticism, tho condition should bo made known
at once, and should not 1m covered up
while the state board, tho board of county commissioners on a board of
trnstees consumes from six to nine months In wrangling over whether
conditions nre ns bad as reported.
Virtually nil these Institutions nre supported by the public, either by taxation or donation, and tho contributing public has a right to know exactly what is being done In the Institutions. The public has Just as much right to know what is being done In these Institutions, ns It has to know what Is being done here in the governor's office, where. I maintain, the public hns a right to know everything as long as the procedure of
Justlco does not demand that matters bo kept under cover to prevent the escape of a criminal or miscarriage of Justice In nnother way. "I am certain that while the board of state charities is dally doing a great deal of good among the charitable Institutions of the state, it could do a great deal more If the people were taken Into the confidence of the
board, when any fault of serious nature is found, as soon as it develops that the serious fault exists. Tho people can be trusted to do their part toward remedying evils connected with the care of the state's unfortunate, and all they ask is to be apprised of the things which need remedying. I am confident thnt If tho people had been taken fully Into the confidence of the board of state charities at the proper time, concerning Jails in Indiana, much of the criticism which the delegates to the International prison congress, on their recent visit to this state, had to make of the American Jail system and some of the
conditions in our Jails could not have been made."

Indianapolis. Thirty thousand cir
cular letters sent broadcast through
out the stato to women prominent in
city, town nnd rural communities
urging them to take an nctivo part in the present political campaign In
nn effort to obtain the election of legislator0 pledged to support legislation for the election of women to positions
upon tho school boards of tho state, have brought many answers, all of
them favorable to the cause. Tho inquiries marked the opening of n now
epoch In the political lifo of tho state a period in which it is expected tho women of Indiana will become a vital
forco in matters relating to tho many problems of tho schoolB.
Tho effort to arouse public inter
est In the movement Is the first step In the campaign planned by the Wom
an's School League of Indiana, which
was organized a short time- ago for
tho sole purposo of bringing nbout tho
passago of tho desired legislation.
Since the organization of the league
in this city women In 15 cities nnd towns of tho Btato have formed similar nsoclations and the offlcero of the local society expect that branches will be formed in the near futuro in many other localities as a result of the publicity campaign now being conducted. A score of questions, all of them relating to school problems, was asked In tho circulars and all of the answers received, according to tho local officers, expressed tho unanimity of opinion. One of tho first queries asked of tho women of tho state was whether they are satisfied with tho public schools of their communities. All of the responses received, with tho exception of those which came from this city, gave negative answers. The chief objections raised against the schools, as they now exist, aro thnt the buildings and ground are frequently Insanitary, and that too llttlo attention is given to industrial education. Practically all of the schools outside of Indianapolis, according to tho answers, are "In politics," and none of
the replies received stato that school commissioners and trustees aro
chosen for special fitness to fill the
positions.
