Lecture Association.

While the citizens of the upper Iroquois are hustling to gather the water into ditches that the dry land may appear, the citizens of Rensselaer are trying to organize a lecture association to maintain our bodies, minds and souls in support with the best and highest ideal. It is almost as necessary to reason correctly and to practically discern social right and wrong as to provide food, lodging and clothing. The mind makes the man. The mind which can in the bustle of seeking bodily comforts for self and those of its own house find time for a harmonious love, wrestle with science, literature and art needs no mystical aid of doctor, lawyer or preacher to make it happy. As citizens of the town we pay taxes to make drains and streets to maintain schools for our children, while children of a larger growth are wandering off after stimulation, gambling and other seductive but unfriendly habits. This movement to supply philosophy for the learned, imagination for the poet and fun for all, needs the earnest support of every well wisher of our lovely town.

A member of the committee will wait upon each of our citizens in an effort to secure over one hundred members. Mechanics, bankers, merchants, pupils, teachers, public officers, lawyers, doctors, farmers and preachers and gentlemen of leisure should hasten to be one of the centenary members of this organization. All who signify their intention to become members are invited to meet at the court house at 7.30 p. m. on Friday, April 28, to agree upon officers and a plan of organization. We want two hundred members if we can get them. CHAS. W. HANLEY, BENJ. F. FENDIG, JOSEPH HARRIS Committee on solicitation of membership.

The W. C. T. U. school of methods comprising the counties of Newton, White, Jasper, Carroll and Pulaski will be held in the Baptist church, at Monon on the 2nd and 3rd of May, beginning at 10:30 a. m. Mrs. L. M. Beck, state president; Miss Mary G. Hay, state treasurer, and Miss Margaret Dickson, secretary, of the Young Women’s Branch will be in attendance. The morning and afternoon meetings will be devoted to instruction in W. C. T. U. methods of work. Public addresses in the evenings. The Y. W. C. T. U. branch, under the direction of Miss Dickson, will occupy a part of the first afternoon and the first evening. Mrs. L. M. Beck, state president, will give the second evening’s address. Bible readings each forenoon at 11:30 by Miss Hay. This is not a delegated body and each local union is urged to send as many of its members as possible. The local committee desires the names of those expecting to attend sent early to the correspondent secretary of the school, Mrs. L. J. Horner, Monon. By order of state convention, Lodie E. Reed, corresponding secretary.

Iroquois Ditch Cause.

I am afraid the record ordered by the board of commissioners week before last is defective. As the final entries have not been signed, the board can strike out all reference not “properly cognizable by them.” Sec. 5746 R. S. 1881. In the board’s corporate capacity, acting for the county, they should try to save bridges, but this does not add to their power as a court. Have they power to change the length, depth and direction of “the best route” for a ditch under the act of March 7, 1891? No consent of parties can add anything to the power of the board as a court. Horton v. Sawyer 59 Ind. 587. If the board had no power to decide, its entries are void. 25 Ind. 152. The statute and decisions of the supreme court adhere closely to the rule that the board can perform no duty not enjoined by any law of this state. Sec. 5745 R. S. 1881. Board v. Barnes 123 Ind. 403, 406. The statute of March 7, 1891, requires the board to “find from the report” in favor of or against the improvement. Sec. 3. “This means to take the improvement as a whole, following the description in the sworn report of the viewers.” I can find no authority to change that report even in a single word. Each one whose property is affected or taken has a clear right to damages to be assessed by the viewers, the board or a jury. Sections 3, 5 and 6.

The board can not grant part of a petition. City v. Bearss 55 Ind. 576. They can not change the first viewers report in a highway. McKee v. Gould 108 Ind. 107, 112. In other drainage proceedings the report of viewers as to courses and distances is conclusive. Meranda v. Spurlin, 100 Ind. 380 and Metty v. Marsh 124 Ind. 18, 21. “It is the duty of the viewers to locate the ditch at a place where it will accomplish the most good. ” Even a verdict when defective must be amended in the jury room. Pehlman v. State 115 Ind. 131, 133. It is easier to now make the record clear and straight by crossing out all matters not "properly cognizable” than to meet the question at any future time. The future life and salvation of this project requires that the petitioners all pull together for the “best route” and pay in cash for property taken and affected out of the proceeds of the bonds when sold. The too previous action of the board and land owners was taken without careful examination of counsel and no one need be blamed for not then making the point of want of jurisdiction. I hope this may be read and acted upon in a friendly spirit. The board can not add to its power by any act or statement of its own. The only source of their power is the statute. Consider these things and let the entries be freed of all matters not “properly cognizable” by the board. FRANK FOLTZ, Atty. for Petitioners.
