COUNTY OPTIO

QUESTION

ILL I THRASHED

Politicians Agree That Governor Marshall Is Taking a

Wise Stand in Handling " Live Wire" Proposition.

TIMES BUREAU,

AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 1. The temperance democrats in the house are depending largely on the attitude assumed by Governor Marshall in the campaign to help them win their fight against loose liquor laws. Since his election to the' office of governor Mr. Marshall has not uttered one word, so far as is known, that would indicate what his position on this question is or what he would do with a bill to repeal the county locai option law if such a bill were to pass the legislature and come up to him for signature. He has kept away from the question entirely, and those who have been fol

lowing the matter closely believe that he has taken a very wise course in doing so. It is not known that anyone has ever asked him to state his position on the matter, but if any have done so they have not learned anything from him. He said before election as well as afterward and in his inaugural address that he would not attempt to control the legislature or to tell that body what it should do or what it should not do, and he has kept close to that line throughout the session thus far. He holds that it is not the duty of he governor to make laws. It is his duty to enforce the laws that are made by the legislature. It is recalled, however, that in his speeches during the campaign Governor Marshall made the statement that he would not sign any bill that would in any manner destroy or affect the Moore remonstrance law. He said that it was a serious question whether the passage of the county option law would not repeal the Moore law. This was

before the county option law was passed. He said the question of whether a county local option law would repeal the Moore law was a question for the courts to decide and not for him to settle. Just what he thinks of it now is not known, because, as has been

said, he is not discussing the liquor quetion with anyone. But the temperance democrats are pointing to Governor Marshall's pre

election speeches in support of their

position. It is said that there are six men in the house who will stand opposed to any bill. of any kind what

ever that will repeal or change the

county local option law in any manner.

They are said to be Hostetter, Clore, Merriman, Chrisney, Sicks and Maish. Then they say there are ten others who will vote against repeal unless the repeal bill substitutes township and

ward local option, high license and oth er strong restrictions.

But the six members who are abso

lutely opposed to any kind of a repeal bill, so it is understood, will seek to prevent the passage of any bill that

will include the high license, and strict regulation of saloons and they will

fight any attempt to have the bill re

enact the Moore remonstrance law. This sounds strange, but the purpose

of these six members is first to pre

vent the passage of any repeal bill, and if they fail In this then they want the repeal bill to be so weak that the governor will not sign it. They say that if he refuses to sign any bill that does

not re-enact the Moore law and they

are able to keep out of the bill such a

re-enactment they feel that such a bill will be vetoed. At least, this is the

line on which they are working at present. They will vote against any attempt to have the repeal bill re-enact

the Moore law.

This leaves the democratic side of

the house so badly split on the liquor

question that it can do nothing at all

unless some of the fellows change their

minds before the time comes to vote,

And they say they will not. These are the things that are to be threshed out

at the democratic house caucus tonight,

if they can get enough members to

gether to hold a caucus. But what

ever the caucus does and whatever ac tion it mas take, there are these temp

erance democrats who will not be

bound by it.

Speedy narber in Sqnah. "It was one of those sleepy, onehorse, backwater towns, like Squash," said Representative Burton, describing at a Hot Springs dinner a town that he disliked. "Squash is the limit. A gentleman arrived there the other day and wanted a haircut. He found the barber shop, and, after shaking the barber vigorously, managed to awaken him. " 'How long will it take you to cut my hair, barber?' he asked. "'Not long, boss,' said the barber. "And he aros yawned and stretched himself. Then he called upstairs to his wife: " 'Hey, send the kid down to the newspaper office to tell the editor I want my scissors Just as soon as he's done editing the paper. There's a gent here waitln' for a haircut'." Washington Star.

The boy gasped at so strange a sight

and thought it must be some new ani

A Study !u Perspective.

In one of the technical schools of I this city an instructor was one day j having some difficulty with a certain i student, who seemed not entirely to j graps the idea of perspective. i

"You understand," said the teacher, "that the farther one goes from any object, the smaller it appears." The pupil shook his head doubtfully. "I'm not so sure about that," said he. Whereupon the instructor was provoked and not a little surprised at such ignorance and obstinacy, to which feeling he gave utterance. "Oh, it's all right as to some things," said the pupil, "but not all. But take, for instance, the case of a $3 bill?" Harper's "Weekly.
