but whether the brewers and saloon men can stand the financial strain coincident with the repeated attacks that they must meet is a question I cannot Intelligently discuss. But if the brewers, distillers and saloon men were to agrree to closo down their establishments even for a space of six months or one year, thereby making the nation automatically as "dry as a bone." and would demand from the prohibitionists that they join hands in establishing a law making it a criminal offense for any one to have liquors in his or hor possession, municipality after municipality and state after state now "dry" would wipe out the prohibition laws in a hurry. If euch a movement were to be inaugurated, every state In the union and our national government would be compelled to Issue bonds to save themselves from bankruptcy. "When consideration Is riven to the fact that the United States government annually derives J325.000.POO from liquors alone , the " financial catastrophe that would overtake the. jrovcrnrnont should the liquor men close up shop, for a while Is appalling.

TEE DBT STATES AND THE BKEWEE5. To the! Editor: Nov. 7 last brought disastrous news to the brewers and saloon-keepers of the States of Montana, South Dakota, Michigan and Nebraska when these commonwealths decided In favor of state-wide prohibition. The addition of these four states to those already under the socalled "dry" edict make a total of twenty-three states, and it is believed that when the new governors of Florida and Utah are inaugurated, measures will be adopted to bring these two states into the "dry" column. It was believed by students who are watching the prohibition movement that it would react, but such does not appear to be the case. That a reaction will surely set in soma time is quite possible,

TIMES BIHEAU AT STATE CAPITAL INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 25. The dem

ocratic senators who held a conference i

here yesterday afternoon put a few ! more kinks in the state senate situation, where there already is enougn uncertainty to keep anyone on the anxious seat. There will be twentyfive democrats and twenty-five republicans in the senate. Including Senator Walter McConaha of Wayne county, who was elected as a progressive in 1914, but who is now affiliated with the republican- party. This tie vote in the senate 'nas raised the question of what party can organize and control the senate. Lieutenant .Governor O'Neill, democrat, will be the presiding officer of the senate the first few days of the session, and the democrats say that the twenty-five democrats with the vote of O'Neill can elect officers, select committees and appoint all employes. They say too, tnat all of these selections would stand at least until Edgar D. Bush, republican, becomes lieutenant governor to succeed O'Neill. The democrats admit that the republicans could then upset all that the democrats had dor.e with the exception of the election of secretary, assistant secretary and chief doorkeeper of the senate. These three positions, they say, are statutory offices, provided for and authorized by the statues, and that when once elected by the senate they' could not be ousted except by repeal of the law which creates the three offices. It would be impossible for the republicans to repeal the law, because they will have only twenty-five votes in the senate and it takes twenty-six votes to pass a bill or make a new law. So the democrats Insist that they could control these three places and thus control the organization. The republicans do not admit tnat this is

true, and there the. matter rests. Before the conference yesterday, Bernard Korbly the democratic state chairman, called on Will II. Hays, the republican state chairman, and proposed to him that the republicans and democrats split the senate offices and Jobs and also the chairmanships of committee. Korbly indicated that refusal on the part of the republicans

would mean war in the senate that j might prevent any legislation getting through that body. Hays told Korbley he had no authority to speak for the republican senators, but that he would lay the proposition before them at the conference which they will hold early In December. Hays said the republicans were In favor of the enactment of beneficial legislation, and that they had promised that kind of legislation In the campaign. He said he was In favor of anything that would help in the passage of beneficial legislation. Later the democratic senators appointed a committee consisting of Lieutenant Governor O'Neill, Senators Walter S. Chambers. Newcastle; D. Frank Culbertson. VInrennes; James

R. Fleming, Portland: and Edward P. Eisner, Seymour, to meet with a committee of republican senators, if one is a.ppolnted, and agree on a division of the senate plunder. Whether the republicans will agree to thi.j plan remains to be seen. It was expected that the democratic senators would discuss legislation, but they did not. Prohibition, woman suf

frage and constitutional convention were not mentlonad In tiie conference, except that Governol Ralston said something about a constitutional Convention. Outside of the conference, however, thej"e was much talk on these subjects. All of the senators appeared to agree that a canstitutional convention shall be called. Most of them, and practically all of the Btate organization men. Including State Chairman Korbly, favored woman suffrage, and many of them favored prohibition. It is plain, however, that neither party will draw a party line on Its members on cither of these subjects In tha legislature. There will be members n both sides of the question In both parties, and they could not be held In line by caucus or any other means. It Is evident that members of the legislature will. vote s they please on all of these subjects. Joctph Luther of South Bond, who was chief doorkeeper of the house at the session of 1915, was here wtth the democratic senutors. looking for an appointment as chief doorkeeper of the senate, in case the democrats organise that bo-ly. No name has been mentioned by the democrats for secretary or assistant secretary. Among the republicans there is some talk of John H. Edwards of Mitchell, for secretary of the senate. He was a member of the house a few years ago, and Is a well known republican. Harry N. Stvner of Montmorenci. Is talked of

for assistant secretary, and Samuel Boys of Plymouth, for file clerk. Ed Jackson, Incoming secretary state, has appointed W. H. Telrce

Indianapolis, and Edward A. Kemy Seymour, clerks In the automobile cense bureau.

E.

clerk's records, etc., comprising more than 8,000 typewritten pages, are now ready to bn forwarded to the appellate court. Special Judge S. E. Cook of Huntington, Attornty D. E.

CHICAGO 001 HELPS If! BANDIT HUNTING

Over Million Dollars Paid Out in Pay at Week-End No One Got on a Tear

MskForhA, WlWmCW

(Special to Ths Times.) LLANO GRANDE, TEX.. Nov. 25. Hunting Mexican bandits in the wilderness along the American side of the Itio Grande was tha task that fell to the lot of the small detachment Of the Second Infantry left In camp at LlAao Grande, yesterday afternoon and nlh. The entire Indiana brigade togi.acr with the troops from Minnesota. .".!- braska and North Dakota, have bt.n gone for several days, engaging In the division maneuver near San Benito. Tex., leaving only a part of a company of the Second as a camp guard at Llano Grande.- Shortly before noon yesterday a messenger rode

into camp with the report that a gang

of Mexican raiders was operating in the territory near Progresso. a small river station 8 miles south of Llano Grande. Captain Emil Martin of Kokomo. ind., and Corporal Howard riark. Jr.. of East Chicago, Ind., im

mediately organised an expenditionary ; ! rnmR of all the available men left In

camp, commandeered all the horses iu the corral and. heavily armed, left in pursuit of the bandits. At : the military road the party divided, one half under the command of 1st Lt. Edgar Casey of Lebanon. Ind., taking the west trail toward Donna, and the rest with Captain Martin con

tinuing in the direction of Progresso. After twenty miles of hard, riding the guardsmen were unable to pick up tho trail of the marauders, although it was reported in the neighborhood tim a group of horsemen had been seen to cross the river fnto Mexico early In the morning. The expedition reunited at Progresso and reutrned to . Llano Grande late last night. This bandit "scare" is the second within two weeks, a visit from Mexican horse

thieves near La Ferria, Tex., having ngagfd the attention of the troops in that vicinity recently. Corporal Howard Clark, Jr., mentioned in the above dispatch is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H- H. Clark of East Chicago, and the only East Chicago tn service on the Mexican border. Cor

poral Clark enlisted with the sanitary detachment of the Second Regiment, stationed at Bloomlngton, while attend Indiana University two years ago. He has been In active service along the Rio Grande since early in July.

When Saturday evening came there ended a week In which $1,250,000 had

been doled out by the industrial pay

masters of Gary the largest fortnightly payroll in the town's history. Yet that usual thermometer of pay day time In Gary, the police blotter, showed nothing out of the way. In fact. It was a week-end of extraordinary qulotness. l'eltre Are PuTe. The police had expected to .make a number of arrests for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. They were happily disappointed. Chief Forbis and Capt. Aydelotte give several reasons for Gary's new ability to stand a million dollar payroil without being shocked. They cit-3 that a number of the old-time rousJies. who were attracted to the new towh, have since gone. Others had' the badness taken out ,of them by a spell at the county Jail while hundreds of others, who starved during the 1914-15 panic, have learned that lt is better to save. In addition to this may be pointed out the excellent work done by the police department when unhampered by

(By ". B. Cook, M. I.) Tha machinery of the body needs to be oiled, kept in good condition just as the automobile or bicycle. Why should the human neglect his own machinery more than that of his horse or his engine? Yet most people do neglect themselves. Their tongue has a dark brown color, skin sallow, breath bad. yet they fail to see tnat their machinery needs attention. Everybody

should take a mild laxative at least once a week. A pleasant way to clear the tongue and the highly colored water noticed in the morning is to take a laxative which will cure the Inactive liver and biliousness.

A pleasant vegetable pill is male up of May-apple, leaves of aloes, and jalap, made Into a tiny pellet and coated with sugar. First put up by Dr. Pierce nearly 50 years ago. Druggists sell these vegetable pellets In vials, simply ask for' Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If backache, scalding urine or frequent urination bother or distress you. or If uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, gout or sciatica, if you suspect that you have kidney or bladder trouble, write Dr. Pierce, at Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo. N. Y.. send a sample of urine, and 'describe symptoms. A physician and chemist will examine it without charge and you will be under no obligation whatever.
