a humane society to wear or carry a badge and practically to compel the action of a constable or police officer for the relief of any animal that is being cruelly treated and imposes a penalty for the refusal of an officer to perform his duty in this regard. This new legislation should give an Impluse to the organization throughout the state of local branches of the American society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The subject . commends Itself to all right-minde.l people, and yet, while almost everybody approves of it in principle, comparatively few are helping to promote it in practice. There ought to be a branch of the parent society in every considerable town in Indiana with a membership and fund sufficient to enforce the law." Lafayette News.

Extra Session? The Lafayette Journal declares that it is not among the optimists that believe Governor Hanly has given up his extra session scheme. The Journal maintains that Hanly still cherishes
the hope of securing enough votes to put through some of his pet measures and that he will issue a call for an extra session tho moment he thinks he sees a hope of winning. Governor
Hanly may be erratic and puffed up, but it is difficult to believe that he would go to the extreme of conveying
an extra session of the legislature. He struggled with this temptation last week, and the disagreeable truths which he elicited from the press of
the state will no doubt be sufficient to "hold him for a while." Fort Wayne News.

MAY DO SOME GOOD. . While it 'is unfortunate that after the vicissitudes through which the Orndorf bill found its way to becom
ing a law, the measure has been to a large extent invalidated by the omission of so important a clause as that which should name a penalty for Its violation, It Is a question whether the measure has altogether lost its force for good by reason of the oversight. The bill is that which was aimed at high school fraternities of a secret character especially, which have been hampering the school authorities
throughout the state Jn their wOrk. While Hammond's schools have escaped the menace of these foolish organizations Hammond Is nevertheless interested In the merits of the law and disappointed that its aims should be thwarted to any extent either intentionally or accidentally. There is no disputing the fact that the law as it stands cannot be enforced in the strict sense of the word. However, its requirement which provides for the expulsion of children who
persist In affiliating with the objectionable fraternities, will doubtless be the means of breaking up a great number of tho organizations. Principals and echool superintendents will take advantage of this requirement, even while recognlzlnz tho fact that once expelled, the law Is inadequate to further punish the offender. If such a course is adoted the baneful societies will soon become so obnoxious to parents that they will be quite likely to take a firm stand and refuse to allow their children to be members.

nature of an aftermath of a panic. Associated with it were many damaging and mischieveous rumors, most of which we believe to have been circulated positively with malice aforethought. We see no reason to change our opinion from the stand we have taken on this market since Monday; namely, that it is a thoroughly sold out market. That stocks are in stronger hands than we have known to be at any time within the last six years and
we are believers in a gradual improvement in the market feeling, especially
