these bills are to pass.

the McGInnlss bill now stands it ap
piles to all cities of the state. But when the senate got through with the Mattlingly bill the other day, which was, like the McGInnlss bill, it only applied to cities of more than 50,000 population. The senate will probably amend the McGInnlss bill as It did the
Mattlngly bill.
There ls grave danger that the Garrard blll to repeal the uniform system of school books may pass the legis
lature, and thus throw open the flood
gates of graft and corruption that existed in former years when each county made its own s-electlon of. text books. There Is the strongest lobby behind this bill that has ever been seen
in this state during a session of the legislature. The brewers lobby is as
nothing whe ncompared to it. The school book lobby is made up of a score or more of the most trusted agents of the school books combine and the most able of the combine's manipulators. They are men who have been trained to do the very work that they are doing here and they know how to do anything that ls necessary to be done to pas sthe bill. 'They have all the money that can be used, as the school book lobby always has. None of these men ever go about the state house. They stay at the hotels and men who wish to do business with them go to the hotels to do It. T. A. McCaslin of Cleveland, a law
yer, is the head of the lobby, the man who directs the fight for the school book 'combine by which It hopes to rape
the people's pocketbook. He has room 732 at the Claypool hotel, and close to his room ls that of Charles T. Brown, also of Cleveland, who is in the Cleveland city directory as the agent of the American School Book company.
Under the able direction of these men
the school book lobby is working. The work is being done quietly and under cover, and it is the most dangerous
kind of work, for it is as a foe that strikes In the dark. Each County to Have Different Books.
This lobby proposes by the blll
which, strange to say, has been Introduced by Representative Garrard of
Vlncennes, the democratic floor leader.
to take out of the hands the state
board of education the authority to select textbooks for the schools of he state, and place that power in the hands of a commission in each county.
This county commission would consist
of a county superintendent, appointed by the township trustees, and two members of different political parties.
appointed by the county superintendent. This commission would then se
lect and adopt the books for the schools of that county and the people who have children attending school would be
obliged to pay for the books whatever
price the school book companies might
see fit to ask for them. Public at Trust 'h Mercy.
It can be seen at a glance that this
would throw the public school system! into the dirtiest kind of politics. All that would be necessary in order for a school book combine to control the selection of books in a county would be to elect the township trustees, because they elect the county superintendent and he appoints the members of the school book commission. It would mean a return to the old reign of corruption and graft when men were tempted-by the gold of the school-book agents and fell. It would mean high prices for school books, for the combine would make the people pay back in the incerased price every dollar that It spent in carrying the elections and bribing officials. It would touch the pocketbook of every family in the state that has children: in school. And this is the bill "that this lobby Is trylngto pass and which it will pass unless public sentiment throughout the
state 'is -aroused sufficiently to prevent
It.
, Xo Party Politics in Fight.
Fassett A. Cotton, state superintendent of public instruction, is against the bill to repeal the present system. So Is Robert J. Aley, who succeeds Cot
ton in oince next month. One is a
republican and the other a democrat
so there Is no party politics in this fight. It is a fight of the people against
the attack of the school book trust,
which seeks to overthrow the present
excellent school system of the state
and plunge It into the depths of dirty
politics.
All over the state the educators and school people are opposed to the change
EXCESSIVEJRIIIKIHG Orrine Destroys the Craving For Drink Cure Effected or Money Refunded.
Excessive or continued use of. alcoholic beverages always -results in a diseased condition of the nervous system. The drinking man is often heard to say, 'T can stop of my own free will when I wish," but the poor fellow is now devoid of the power to act at the proper time and in the right way it's too late, the craving has secured a firm hold and because of the diseased nervous system he has not the ability for sustained effort. The result we all know. Drunkenness is no longer considered a crime; eminent, scientists and physicians have agreed that it" is a disease and must be treated as such.

battle with the money which the-school book trust is able to bring Into use. Bill Has Narrow Kseape. One of the reform bills backed by the merchants and commercial organizations of the state had a narrow escape in the senate yesterday afternoon. It is the bill that provides -that when two members of a grand jury notify the governor that a prosecutor is not doing his duty the governor shall instruct the attorney general to take charge of the matters in which the complaint is made and conduct the prosecution. The committee made a divided report on the bill, the minority report being to kill the bill. The minority report was adopted, but soon afterward Senator Wood of Lafaj'ette moved to reconsider the vote. Senator Kirkman, who fought the bill, moved to lay the motion on the table. The tabling motion was lost. Then the vote was reconsidered. A hot debate followed, participated in , by Senators KIstler, Beal and Kirkman to kill the bill, and Cox and Kane to save It. When the vote was taken a second time on the minority report the report
failed of adoption and the bill was
