ABOUT THAT CONTEST. That the .-Imons-Wickey election contest saddled thousands of - dollars worth; of err.ense on the State of Indiana is universally conceeded. In an
editorial in these columns on Friday the statement was made that the story of democratic ;love of economy Ms allfol-de-rol. OnsSaturdaythe-In-dlanapolls Star said: "Inasmuch as eachshousaof -the rlegislaturet is .the Judge .oftits own membership and the ultimate arbiter of contests trnd their expenses, there appears . now no alternative but for 'the people of ! Indiana to stand for the expense saddled upon them -by the Slmon-WIckey contest, from take-county. But it ls-one-of' thersvorstgraftsin-thehistoryi' of -Indiana. Itis. a-most pernicious precedent. "Itjia-absolutely essential, ocourse,,thatopportunity.shouldibe unobstructed for contests In all genuine caseB of election frauds. An unthinkable situation wouldv bef or the..door to -be closed , upon any candidate who 'honestly believed 'himself to ""be--counted out'-when actually elected. "But Iiv thia? case, - as we ..understands it Mr..-. Simon, . undemocratic candidate, .havingT been defeated by lQO majority, did; not wish to contest the election at all. He had-no-hope that he could secure the ousting-of. Mr. Wickey, the successful republican - candidate, even by the
heavy democratic majority in the house; and he didknot want ..to incur the trouble and expense of a fruitless enterprise in which he could gain: nothing and-might loosea good deal. "The members of the democratic state organization, however, prevailed upon him to. Institute the contest, not that they expected him to win the seat, but for the purpose of securing material, if possible, to use in the projected contests on the state ticket; and they agreed to finance 'the-operations of Mr. Simon for this purpose and to that end. "A, more dishonest and unlawful use of public money could. not be conceived. Yet this $4,000 claim has been allowed and actually paid over, so there Is no help for it. Neither is there any law to prevent these same high-minded democratic managers from posing around as the trusted friends-of the-people and the sworn-'defenders-ofUhe -public fund3." TAXEAYERS WILL.REJOICE. That i Governor Thomas R Marshall acted quite within his rights and certainly in deference to the rights of the taxpayers of Lake county in particular and Indiana in general when he vetoed the numerous court bills, will be generally conceded outside of the political aspirants for the judgeships and lawyers who would be directly benefited. It was unfortunate for Lake county, which certainly does need relief from court congestion,
that as Boon as the bills were introduced there was a hue and cry from crossroad town3 all over the state asking for superior courts, until the
legislature was beset rand , -half crazed by the-loud lobbies that hurled them
selves on the defenceless legislators in- swarms, so that those in close touch
with the situation foresaw that the fight would end just as it did, in the sloughing of all the court bills. Governor Marshall's veto messages ac
companying the Gary and Hammond bills presents the matter in a nut
shell, when he says that litigation should be made hard instead of easy,
and that three county seat3 in Lake county are not at all desirable. Thf
taxpayers of Lake county have evidently been carefully considered by the chief executive, if others -have not. His well-known and praiseworthy ideas of economy were brought Into play when he vetoed the court bills. The end has comejuskas we have many times 'said it would. Neither Hammond nor Gary got a court. We must confess that we have never been very strong for saddling the expense of two additional courts on the taxpayers of Lake county. Neither Tiave we been able to find among those very much interested parties the lawyers a single one who wTould say that both Hammond and Gary ought1 to have a superior court. Hon. J. B. Petereon of Crown Point in one of the series of Interviews witn members of the Lake Counuty Bar association early in the fight expressed the situation calmly and concisely when he 6aid that there were enougn courts in Lake Lake county -'now. And so think a. large preponderance of the taxpayers. IT IS JUST AS CLEAR AS MUD. Here -is what' the evening news-mlsser had to say anout the Marshall veto: "It is - a , fact, . however, that the majority deemed his action the only course in view of the present deplorable financial conditions." "It seems like the only possible .solution to the problem, which has long swayed Lake county." "it was strongly hinted, this afternoon, that the sensational 'loving evening yellow, had done much to kill Ham
mond's chances. "That two additional courts and the accomp
anying expense would mean too much of a burden for the taxpayers, al
ready amply-loaded, has long appeared as the one barrier to the passage of
the bills." Now, if you. can figure that out, you are entitled to a prize. A news
paper Has done much "too kill Hammond's chances," yet to veto the bill
was the "only solution to the problem" and the "majority deemed his action
the only course." It is a pity that the evening news-misser does not issue
maps - with its 'quiddities. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
It is to be hoped that our good friends in Crown Point are now perfectly satisfied. That neither Hammond or Gary got their courts and that Ham
mond tailed to get its Gretna Green back again will occasion a sigh of relief in many county seat hearts that have been going pit-a-pat lately. It was cruel of the Hammond justices of the peace to make all that furore over the marriage license bill anyway, but if Crown Point is satisfied let
us ail tase it good-naturedly and as a matter of course. Let the eloping
couples, who come to Lake county, go to the classic county seat to wed.
They cannot go to a prettier place and the people down there will treat them hospitably. If they want to wed In Hammond, it is easy to get here
and find an accomodating judge. So all's well that ends well.
"THE COUNTRY NEED not hope for tariff reform at the hands of the present congress," oracularly remarks Mr. W. J. Bryan. We are constrained
to remark that Mr. Bryan is right for once, though perhaps it is through in
advertence. I '

If the fight has-only. just begun.
THE WAY TO HELL. A once brilliant social favorite of tbe east a rich, handsome, popular man has been arrested in Shanghai, China, for obtaining money under false pretenses. Which reminds one The ancients who lived near a volcanic lake not far from Naples called the place Avernus, and they believed, or affected to believe, that It was the mouth of hades. THE DESCENT TO THIS PLACE WAS AN EASY ONE.
, Whatever the steps to the ancient hades may have been, the steps by which the once popular New Yorker has gone down are easily traceable. They are: . Step one, dissipation. Step two, extravagance. Step three, borrowing money. Step four, dodging creditors. Step five, swindling.
Of the steps that remain there are
only two, and they are easily taken: Step six, arrest and conviction. Step seven, prison or the pistol.
The descent to the Avernus of the moderns is easy because the steps are
logical. They follow each other as do
the links of a chain. One step leads
easily and naturally to the next.
Once started downward on the steps
It Is difficult to stop. It is not lmpos slble to stop, but difficult.
The way to the modern hades is no toboggan slide on which, once started,
It is impossible to reverse motion and
slide upward. One does not go gliding from the heights of innocence down to
the depths of degradation in a trice.
The way goes down slowly, leisurely
by easy stages. It goes down by well
defined steps BROAD, EASY steps
The descent is halting, though sure.
No man takes the seven steps all at
once.
And no man who goes the downward
way expects to go to the bottom.
But it is so muah easier to step down
jo the level below than to lift oneself to the level above! There is a law of gravity In the moral world as in the
physical world.
And at the bottom Is the mouth of tell.

With The Legislators
The Pearson employers' liability bill.
which was passed by the senate last
Friday without an enacting clause and
repassed on Saturday with an enacting; clause added, is the bill that has been commonly designated as the "ambulanca lawyer's delight," because it, proposes to make sweeping 'changes In the present employers' liability law and
open up the way by which ambulancechasing lawyers may work .up personal
Injury damage cases. The chief feature of the bill Is-that section which relates
to contributory negligence. This section provides that under certain conditions negligence on the part of the
employe shall not be a bar to recovery of damages. This section was bit
terly opposed by Senator Kane and
others, the polnt'being made that the
employer would not be free from liability under certaln.condltions set forth
In the bill even though the employe who was Injured had deliberately stuck
his hand into a dangerous machine.
Representative Buennagel ha pre
pared for introduction In the house a
bill to create the office of state fire marshal, to be supported by a tax on premiums and assessments made on fire insurance business in the state, for the purpose of enabling the state to Investigate fire losses, to aid in the arrest of persons suspected in incendiarism, and to examine buildings and ssue and execute orders looking to their being made more secure from such fire losses. Buennagel's plan calls for a chief state fire marshal, to be selected by the governor for a period of four years. He is to receive a salary of $3,000 a year. The chief is to select an assistant chief, who Is to receive $2,500 a yoar, and two deputies, the first of whom is to be an attorney-at-law, who is to receive $1,800 a year, and the second is to receive $1,500 a year. Poultrymen of the state, through Theo Hewes, editor of the Inland Poultry Journal, who is a member of the legislative committee of the State Fanciers' association, are objecting to the bill to appropriate $160,000 for a machinery hall at the state fair ground and are asking that a part of this money be used for a live stock building which would include space for poultry, the prc-Fent poultry building not being large enough and being in an unsatisfactory condition. Forty thousand dollars is wanted for such a building. Indianapolis News.
