INDIANA C ENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER SHIRLEY’S IDEA OF WHAT IT OUGHT TO BE. Bt Favor* Making It Strictly a State Affair and Think* That Indiana Alone Should Provide All Seoeaeary Knnda. •> Hon. €. C. Shirley of K. .anno, member of the Indiana centennial commission for the Tenth congressional district, thinks that the proposed ole-' i brution should be a pro at state affair rather than an interstate enterprise. In expressing his views regarding the matter ho says: > “After considerable reflection upon the subject of the proposed centennial celebration, I have formed in my miud an outline of what it sterns to moNjut ' event ought to be. The details, how^ ever, an- so indistinct ami imperfectly formed that I find it diiJrtilt to express my conception of the affair. Some general conclusions 1 have reached tiiough are as follows: >' - “I believe the event should be I strictly a state affair intended to exhibit the growth, development and resources of a hundred years of progress. The; territory now out of the state, but which formerly constituted a part of the original territory of Indiana, ought perhaps to be urgd’tojoin us in the movement; _ the other states and the world at large we shall of course invite to participate, i but rather as our guests than otherwise. I am not disposed to look favorably upon the proposition to, make it either in name or in fact a mid-outment expos!• * tion. To make it such will be at ouoe to invite comparison with the World’s Fair, the National Centennial at Philadelphia, and the more recent expositions at San Francisco and Atlanta. What we want is to bring the greatest possible good to the state, and in the greatest Tpossi-ble degree to snread Its fame. This, I think, can on.y be done by preserving, in its name and in its scope and purpose, the central idea of a - state event, and the greatest state event of its kind that ever occurred. “I do not l>e!:eve that we should abledo efilist federal aid to promotl* the enterprise. It is true, the general government has contributed to the Atlanta exposition, ttft the Conditions there wdre exceptional. The general feeling that it would be a gracious thing to do be

cans** tne event was strictly southern contributed largely to it, and after all it was regarded as a Wonderful leHiere* ment to hart* induced eougress to vote an appropriation for anything less than ; a stnctiy national affair. "I approve the suggestion of Judge Martindale that out of the event should spring; some pennaneut memorial, which I tun inclined to think should be a building in which should be collected and treasured whatever may be found of such vast interest and value as to deserve perpetuation. Thi# memorial should of itself be a thing that would ooufer lasting credit upon the state. In its construction it should suggest rue history, the progress, the' art. the, education, the industries and the wealth of the state; and uj>on it, if the idea is to 1 be successfully carried out, should be expended a sufficient snm of money to erect a structure so beautiful and permanent in its character as to invite, the admiration of the whole country. This necessarily means that I do not believe the other suggestion, also of Judge Martindale. that the building now occupied by the institution for the blind should be utilized for this purpose, is , practicable. It is a shabby oltrstruciure at the best, and the permanent building in which is to be housed the best results of the century’s growth must-be, the creation and the offspring of this culminating event. The grounds of the institution „!or t$>e blind are admirably suited' to our purpo>e; but if the state will devote it-to our parp*»e, the first improvement 1 would suggest would be ! to raze the present structure to the / ground. . “It would die impossible to enlist f sufficient inters, or raise sufficient money to fittingly celebrate the event, or even to construct the m- moria! abo^** suggested, Unless the Oi'easion is so fax popularized, as to arouse the interest of ail the people of the state, particularly the common people; There will have to be a certain amount of pageantry and entertainment. which will nesres>arily take the form, in a general way. of some of the former expositions, upon which, if we accomplish th*» purpose of <»r commission's creation, we shall be able to im prow, at least, in some degree, “To these ends we must hare a law permitting cities aud .counties to tote j contribct; f- r the pun* “*e of making exhibit^ i>i :heir own peculiar resources, and inj addition >tvk Irani the legist*- | tare .the - broadest possible encourage xuent and patronage Then there shoo d be placet a sufficient amount of stock h She cornj vny charged with the nbu- ; of the plan among the euutjpn.infc |

f ■ . ■ ' people of Aha state, and particularly the city of Indianapolis, as was done at Chicago, to raise such a fund* as the liberal p'.aq^ upon which this scheme must bo j earned out, if carried out at all, will re- | quire. To promote and effect this purpose is in my notion the duty to which j the Indiana centennial commission should dedicate itself earnestly and unceasingly.*' 1 Commissioner John H. Weathers of Leavenworth, says: “The state of Indiana has never had an exhibition of her resources that didder credit. While the great states about her and the great cities near her have spent time and energy in holding oeiebrations and exhibitions of their resources and growth. • our Btate has failed in that respect. We 1 have a great state. All she needs is ad- j vertiseing to be brought into publio i notice. No more fitting way to do this j oould be suggested than by the oontera- j plated oentennial. Her .history, her j growth, her oommeroiol importance, | oould be thus shown and the publio eye of the nation directed to her greatness, j That such a celebration would be of in- | calculable advantage to the state, to all j of her citizens, cannot be gainsaid. ; Let us have the centennial. Let there be no stint nor false economy urged j against it. Let us have a celebration ; that will pay the debt of our past neg- j lect to our great commonwealth.” ____ LX* Witt’s Little Early Risers for bilious- | ness, indigestion, constipation.

PLAN WORTH TRYING THE TORRENS LAND TITLE SYSTEM ADOPTED IN CHICAGO. A Scheme by Which OorenmeBt Gww tees m Well m Resistor* Titles to Reel Estate—Will Blake Land a Much More Desirable Investment. A question of some moment to the welfare of Chicago was answered in the affirmative on election day by the voters of that city. The question was whether the ^Torrens land title system should be adopted, and the proposal was accepted by the handsome majority of 77,000. Hany of our states have borrowed their ballot systems from Australia, but the city and county of Chicago is the first American community to recognize how powerful a stimulus to rapid and extensive development would be given by the application of another Australian invention—namely, the Torrens scheme for the guaranteeing as well as registering of the titles to real estate. What is the land title scheme, which, from the name of its deviser, has become known all over the English speaking world as the Torrens system? The fundamental motive of the plan Is coiled deep about the roots of individualism as opposed to^socialism. It is based on the oonviction that it is the interest of a decentralised, self governing, truly democratic state to promote the multiplication of homes owned by their occupier^ or, in other words, to give the largest possible number of citizens a stake in the country. To that end an obvious moans would be the re- j moral of the causes which in English speaking communities have rendered real estate a much less desirable investment than personal property for the savings of poor men or men of modest incomes, owing partly to the heavy incidental expenses connected with all dealings in the former species of property, oud partly to the vastly greater ease and rapidity with which the latter species could bo sold or u&edtes security for a loan. *

All the causes which tend to hold back the mass of a peoplo from placing theijj surplus in real estate were swept away at a stroke by the so called Torrens laud act, which first became a law in South Australia, but which, as its benefits became incontestable, was rapdily adopted by other Australian colonies. Under this legislation the state, through officers designated for the purpose, undertakes an exhaustive and careful registration of the titles to all lauds within its boundaries. The registration completed, a short, concise certificate is is 6ued to every landowner, and to him, his heirs and assigns the validity of tho title certified is guaranteed by tho stato against impeachment. Furbished with this certificate, ^landowner who wishes to sell or mortgage his property goes to the nearest registration office—there is one for every small fraction of the population—and here the rejgstrar inscribes in the proper book and on the back of tho certificate tho name of the grantee, if a sale is intended, or in case of a mortgage the name of tho mortgagee and the amount of money loaned. Tho transferring or incumbering of titlo is effected in a few minutes, about as lung as it would take to prtx uro tho discounting of a note at a baSfci,

N«w for the zee. This was Intended not cm ly to reimburse the stuto proportionately for tiro original cost erf searching and for t ho current expense of maintaining a corps of registrars, but also to provide an insurance fund against the results of the discovery of flaws in the titk*s guaranteed. From the outset the belief was entertained and acted on that a fee of a shilling or two for each transaction would be ample for all purposes. But it turned out in every colony where the Torrens system was adopted that the losses threatened to the state through defects in the titles guaranteed had been much overrated, while the revenue flowing from the registration offices, owing. to the terrific multiplication of transactions, hud been as signally underestimated. The result has been that the fee for the transferring or incumbering of titles has been everywhere "exit down form shillings to peuce. As things now are un Australian can oonyey or mortgage a piece of land worth millions cf dollars in the space of five minutes and for the price of a cigar. Such is the method of dealing with land titles which ^as been adopted by the city land county of Chicago. The results will probably be admired of all Americans by tho opening of the twentieth century. No donbt Chicago is wide awake to its interests, while Borne of its rivals seem asleep.—New York Sun.

THE SILVER MEN. WwifroT Mtrfoo Batlc f Thinks They Should Kearcantie the Senate. Daring the poll ical upheavals in North Carolina of she past .two years Senator Butler has 1 ecu one of the most prominent and enerjretic political fighters of his state. As the leader of the Populists he has established a reputation for shrewdness and courage, and his friends expect that he will cut quite an important figure when he takes his seat in the United States senate next month. Mr. Butler has the appearance of a college professor who' Jias led a retired life as a student rather than of a political worker. He has prominent features, dark brown hair that is allowed to grow longer than is customary and is parted very far over on the side of his head. He has a pointed beard and mustache, the front view of his face showing considerable resemblance tc * Senator Brice, whom he does not resemble in any of his politioal ideas. In an interview he said: “There never was a time in the history of our government when so many people were thinking; on politioal questions and doing so little talking about it as today. In North Carolina, for in

The average voter knew little of what was going on in Washington, and he felt that the leaders would take care of that. Now the situation is changed. I have applications for 100 copies of The Congressional Record for the next congress where I will be able to get ten copies. Tho people in my state want to know what is going on here, and they want it firsthand.” , "Do you think there will be a reor-ganjzation-of the senate?” the reporter1 asked. “I think there ought to be a reorganisation. Why shouldn’t the silver men in the senate reorganize that body? Thejre are enough of them to do so, and they could then control. Men have been sent bore year after year upon their declarations in favour of silver, and it seems to mo that if they refuso to eqme together and organize the senate, they will have to answer to their constituents later on. ’ * ^ B “Do yqu mean an organization on a nonpartisan (^sis?’6' Mr. Eutler was ask'll. 3 "Certainly. "Why not? Why shouldn't the silver men simply get together in the interest of the one groat issue before the country, and for which they all claim to be working? They could organize the senate, and I see h^lre^son wby they should not do so. "-^Washington Star. f i i
