SPOTTING THE SPITTERS.
SOME PLAIN WORDS. Representative Parsons of New York has introduced a bill in congress providing for a department of the interior to be called the children's bureau. The bureau is to investigate and report concerning the welfare of children and child life. Thank goodness! Government is finally waking up to the fact that such matters as infant mortality, the birth rate, physicaj de
generacy, orphanage, juvenile courts,
child desertion, illegitimacy, dangers and diseases of children of the poormatters pertaining to the home and
children are as important as matters of finance and tariff.
Take a leaf from the juvenile court
of Judge LIndsey of Denver, one of the best friends of childhood :
"Almost every day some young crim
inal in my court says, 'The old man skipped out and left ma to care for
us. Of slxty-flve boys arrested for stealing brass from railroads two-
tbJrds had been deserted by their fa-
tners. '
Note the heart cry of this judge:
"I am more Interested in SAVING
THOSE BOYS who stole brass from the railroads than IN REGULATION
OF RAILROAD RATES."
J. he judge Is right The real prob
lems or government today are those of CHILD FUTURE. What avails
law or economic prosperity if we go on rearing young criminals who break
the law and hinder prosperity? This is a hard saying, but it Is-true:
Today more attention Is paid by gov
ernment to THE CIVILIZATION OF THE FILIPINOS than to the work of
jiaivUNO good MEN' and WOMEN in AMERICA.
Now Every childinvthisirepublic deserves to have a decent and healthful environment, a good, common-school education and a fair chance-to make himself a good citizen. And When society neglects to provide that much for the child and the child turns out badly it is THE FAULT OF SOCIETY. In the face of this responsibility the state has done scarcely anything. The juvenile court was a beginning. But the day will come is coming when THE HOME and THE CHILD will be the chief concern of politics. The children's'bureau is an entering
wedge. - - - The state, which depends upon the home, should not ieave to the voluntary, desultory and ineffective work
of private charity that which is its
own chief concern.

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT HOT.
The old county seat contest between
Petersburg and Winslow, Pike county, waged with great fervor several years ago, and which has been for various
reasons allowed to lie dormant for the last five years, will soon be on aealn
in all its phases. Pike county, with It
peculiar boundary lines and with the county sat situated at Petersburg, presents a hard situation to neonl re
siding in the southern portion, who, if they have business at the county seat
must spend two days to make the trip by rail, else drive a distance of more than twenty miles. And it is from these
people, and. In fact, all those south of the Patoka river, that the countv seat
agitation has sprung.

The daje was fixed yesterday. 1 The question of whether McCoy could be released under the "good time" act or whether he was serving his sentence under the indeterminate act of the legislature arose several weeks ago and after an opinion had been received from Attorney General Bingham that he was a prisoner under the former statute, he was ordered released bv Governor Marshall. Warden Reld. however, placed a different construction on the statute, the result of which was the application for a writ of habeas corpus by McCoy's attorneys.

Friends of Thomas Honan of Sey
mour, speaker of the house of repre
sentatives, are trying to prevail upon him to get into the race for th demo
cratic nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor in the future. Honan's name is mentioned also in connection with the
nomination for attorney general. The speaker, while in the city during the last week, turned a Aat on- u
- " mo proposition suggested by his friends. "I am not a candidate for anything," he said. "I do not expect even to make the race again for representative." Honan has served three terms in the house. Prior to his election to the speaker's chair he was city attorney of Seymour and prosecuting attorney for the Forty-second Judicial circuit, composed of Jackson, Washington and Orange counties. He made one of the most popular speakers in the hlstory of the state.
The name of Edwin P. Thayer of Greenfield is being mentioned among the republicans who come to Indianapolis from time to time as a possible candidate for state auditor at the next republican state convention. Thayer Is colonel of the Third Indiana Infantry and Is connected with one of the prominent insurance companies of the 6tate. He supported James E. Watson for th republican gubernatorial nomination last spring, being from Watson's district, and one of his closet personal friends. He has been mentioned from time to time as likely timber for adjutant general of the state. Thayer has not made any statement as to wheher he would be willing to make the race, but it Is known that he has been aproached on the proposition.
The chances are that Miles Furnas of Winchester, who will be a candidate for the republican nomination for congress in the Eighth district, will have opposition when the race is called,' for it is expected that Senator Nathan B. Hawkins of Fortland will again enter the race. Hawkins was the republican nominee in the Eighth riisrrfc i,i.
the last campaign, but was defeated by Congressman Adair. The republicans of the Eighth, according to the word which comes to Indianapolis, are alredy setting up their pins for a determined battle in the next campaign. The district promises to be In better shape than it has been before.

said to be tending a rather willing ear to the talk. Should the democratic party carry the state in 1911 Stotsen-
burg's friends believe he would make a strong candidate. They realize that he will probably have to run against John E. Lamb of Terre" Haute and L. Ert Slack of Franklin, both of whom
are being talked of as senatorial possibilities again in the event of a dem

(Wednesday, March 31, 1909.) Senate. The senate was not in session today. House. The Payne tariff bill again was picked to pieces in the house of representatives today. There were no prolonged speeches and in consequence many were afforded an opportunity to
express tneir views. Lumber, coffee, wool pulp and print paper, tobacco, coal, zinc and the bill were generally discussed. The arguments on lumber today came from the south through Mr. Pujo of Louisiana and Mr. Thomas of North Carolina, who did not want the protection afforded the lumber industry disturbed. There was an interesting opposition of the wood pulp question by Mr. Mann of Illinois, who defended the proposed reduction of the duty on that product. Mr. Larrinage the Porto Rican commissioner, made an exhaustive plea for a tax of 5 cents a pound on coffee from the colony. Others who spoke were Messrs. Morgan of Missouri, Brantley of Georgia, Douglas of Ohio, Rothermel of Pennsylvania, Loverlng of Massachusetts, Sulier of New York, Mondell of Wyoming and Griest of Pennsylvania.
