The New Ditch Law. The Kelley ditch bill, which becomes a iaw with the governor's signature, repeals Section 10 of the ditch law of 1903, the section providing for the repair of ditches, which created so much dissatisfaction over the state. The new läw is of vast ininterest in Marshall county, whert there is much ditching. Under Section 10 of the law of 1905 the land owners did not have an opportunity to do their own work ol repairs, and the cleaning of the ditch was left in the control of the surveyof and was extremely expensive. Under the Ivelley bill, there arc two povisions for cleaning a ditch; one provis-on is that the ditch may be repaired by contract on a petition ol persons owning one-eighth of the lands originally assessed for the construction of the ditch. Under the conti act feature of the bill, the surveyor determines tne amount of work to be done, and the trustee attends to the selling and re ceiving of the work. An opportunity is given each land owner to do the work alloted to him. The surveyor's fees are limited. The other orovision of the J' is M for the repairs of the ditch in a d ance with the allotment or sion which prevailed prior to the law of 1903, and the surveyor's fees are lim ited to a certain amount per mile for each ditch by him so allotted. The bill provides that all bills of the surveyor for himself and assistants, shall be approved by the board of commissioners before they are paid. Under the law of 1903, the auditor of the county was compelled to draw a warrant to pay any bill th: surveyor might present. There never was a ditch repair law that gave so much general dissatisfaction as Section 10 of the 1905 act. The law allowed the county surveyor to do the work and charge the cost against the property owners. The cost w?s considered exorbitant, and there was a demand throughout the state for the repeal of the objectionable features of the act. The Insurance BJL Very properly Governor Hanly etoed the Farber insruance bill. He did so because it was not a genuine reform measure, because it would accomplish little good, because it was not a fulfillment of the party pledges, and finally because it would be unfair and dishonest to try to make the peo"ple believe that it was a fulfillment of the pledges. The message closes with this statement: "I prefer that the bond be returned to the people unfulfilled rather than become a party to the enactment of a measure which is in itself a false pretense, whose purposes is to deceive and whose only service will be to furnish cover for the further plundering of the people. I believe it wiser and fairer to go back to them, confess our failure and ask another letter of direction, than to seek to de ceive them with the pending measure." This law, if enacted, would stand in the way of genuine reform and would have to be got rid of. The Governor does well in discussing the organization of the proposed depart ment to remind the people of their experience with the Auditor's office, to which it is proposed to intrust the enforcement of the insurance law. The department provided is the same that we have always had, with the ad dition of a few subordinates depend ent on lhe Auditor. We think it en tirely safe to say that "it will be ad ministered in the same old way, with the same neglect, the same lack of initiative that ha3 characterized its administration through former years " and also that "it is left to be the football of politics, its deputy ships to be, prizes to be handed out every two years by the successful nominee of the dominant party as a reward for personal political services. This is preoisely what we should have to look for. It is astonishing that the Legislav ure should, after all the revelations that have been made, see fit to legal ize agency companies. These are vic ious in their very nature, whether the officers of insurance companies are permitted to be interested in them or not. And the Färber bill makes these companies legal. This one section is of itself enough to condemn the bill But further than this, we have in the bill absolutely no' safeguard against extravagance in insurance manage ment, in the way of salaries, commis sions and rebates. And yet we ha before our eyes the spectacle of. the officers of the State Life Insurance Company drawing three and four sal anes each voted by themselves to themselves. With agency companies permitted and expenditures uncheck ed the Insurance Commissioner could accomplish little good. Again, a report to the Governor must be made at stated intervals, but the Governor has no power except to "accept it." Finally all contracts in force no matter how unfair or ille gaily special they may be are to be respected. This bill actually legaliz es contracts whi :h might now be sue cessfully attacked in the courts. And this is the measure which the Gover nor was asked to sign. Indianapolis News.

TEMPERANCE MEN BEATEN.

The Commisispners Have Granted Argos Saloon Man License for Another Year. The fight against the Argos, or Walnut township saloon remonstrance has been one of the longest and most bitterly contested in any county commissioners' court in Indiana and will probably be appealed I to the circuit court. The case came up before the com missioners Monday of last week and went over until Wednesday, when the real contest began and continued until Tuesday night of this week before attorneys began their arguments. E. C. Martindale and S. N. Stevens were the attorneys for Bixler, the applicant for license, and Charles Kelhson and YV. 11. .Matthew represented the remonstrators, and tne case is one of the most notable of its I kind in the state. The anti-saloon oeonle of Walnut t.t ..;tu hJ . , . . uua.u u, wuuijr w.um. vuv,, against the granting ot liquor licenses in that township, lhe protest contains 332 signatures and is directed I specifically against the application of Tnlm V r.Mpr. nf Ariros. for a saloon license. In order to prevent the saloon men from having access to the names the remonstrance was filed just before midnight of the last legal day. The applicant holds that city time rather than standard time should be reckon ed, which would invalidate the probeen filed during the business hours I of the auditor. Bixler made oath that the signatures were fraudulent and I mor than a hundred ot the signers have been summoned to appear. The a a but of that number the remonstrators have restored 15. The political vote of the township I was 579, which requires 291 names for I majority, but, the remonstrators claimed a majority after all names possible were eliminated. The com missioners took tne matter under consideration Wednesday forenoon and locked themselves in their room. At 2:30 Wednesday afternoon the commissioners decided that the remonstrators did not have the legal si iri-ures of a maioritv of Iezal voters nf Walnut tnvvnshin on their re- , . , . n- I er a license. The victory thus won will probably prove the worst knock out that the saloon men of Marshall county ever received. Time will tell. Warfare Against the Governor. On Monday afternoon Jim Goodrr'ch did his best to whip the Republi cans into line with the Democrats against Governor Hanly, but he fail ed. It is claimed that Jim and tne governor have been riming, a political machine in4cahoots for the last two years, but the governor did not do things exactly according to Jim's wishes during the closing days of the I session and Goodrich came to Indianapoiisi .Monday morning, caned a conference of the Republican mem bers of the legislature, told them that they must down Hanly or lose the state. He cracked his heels together and told members what they must do, but they recollected that Goodrich had defeated Reoublican members of congress and they refused to obey him. lhe bouth liend lnbune says: There arc some breaches between the governor and members of the old Republican organization that time will probaDiy not neai. ine break between the governor and his m rrf fnfmf, 1aw nnrtnr Will R WnnA nf mnyciic, . p.uau.jr iu ever to De neaiea over. More important than this, trom a . . ... party . standpoint, is the break between the governor and John C. Billheimer. the oresent state auditor, This came over the insurance agitation, and the two contending factions are still at white heat. For the most part the Republican organization stood by the governor and the two working together were able to get things done." What Did the Assembly Do? Regardless of the fact that the legislature has adjourned it is yet a little early to place a clear and concise es timate on what was accomplished or unaccomplished, whichever the case may be. Legislation of all sorts and kinds was proposed and it is a good thicg for Indiana that many and ma:iy of the bills did not pass, al though there were numerous excel lent measures which were lost. In all truth, the legislature did not seem to be keenly alive to the best inter ests of Indiana and did not apparent ly have the welfare of the people sin cerely at heart. Ihis tact was made apparent on various occasions, especially in re gard to one or two bills upon which public opinion was practically united Anyway, the session is over ana that ought to help some. Nothing worse can now be accomplished and the state nas two years, at least, in wnicn to discover just what has been done to it. The above is from the South Bend Tribune and indicates that it Is not entirely satisfied with the work of the legislature. Hope for Russia. Gloomy as appears, just now, the outlook for Russia, there are people who ha"C made themselves thorough ly f?miliar with Russian affairs talc - ing a decidedly hopeful view of that rA fh. TV. tW eventually Russia will settle her troubles and the countty become a better home for the Jews fran it has ever been. In that event these sangiunc ones expect to see not only a d m nut on of Russ an emicrrat on. .1 - Ty f- i -i T.itre 1 irj.11 -i C 4 r all other people, and they arc not without hope that the aown-troaaen of the realm of the czar may yet find a haven of per.ee within the domain.

CAMPAICN PLEDGES The Republican Majority In the Late

Legislature Carried Out Its Promises to the People. The Republican members and lead ers of their party who have paid close attention to what has been going on, say without reservation that they are perfectly willing to submit their rec ord to the people. They are confident that the verdict will be the same as It has been for many years that is, that the Republican party has attempted to obtain the enactment of wise laws on subjects that are of vital concern to the people. A brief summary will show what the Republicans In the legislature accomplished. The following important me2sures were put through by them: The Bland bill fixing the cost of railroad fares at two cents a mile. The "Woodflll bill, to establish public depositories. The Rjemler bill, providing for good primary election system. The Ganlard bill providing for strict Btate supervision of private banks. The pure food bill, authorizing the state board of health to enforce all pure food regulations. The Hugg bill, clothing the railroad commission with authority to enforce Its decisions. The Ganiard "blind tiger" bill, which will eventually enable the authorities to run out Illicit liquor joints. The Daily shippers' bill, giving the shirpers and manufacturers relief from existing inadequate transporta tion facilities. The Hawkins anti trust bill, which evjls and wnicn ia admitted to be the best law on the subject ever enacted In Indiana. The Cavins bill, providing for ade quate safeguards for men who work Jn the mines The Cox bill, by which the citizens of Indianapolis will be able to get ar tificial gas for 60 cents a thousand cubic feet. They are now paying 90 cents. The Kelley bill, repealing the objec tionable features of the ditch law enacted two years ago. The tax board bill, removing the governor as a member and making ar rangements that will eventually light en the burden of taxation. Several measures prepared and pushed through by Senator E. E. Moore to raise the qualifications of chool teachers and fixing a minimum waSe scale for them. I k .i vii a m i a ine ADurew um, iransiernag i per fund, so that it will not be necessary to increase the tax levy to increase the wages of schocl teachers. The foregoing is only a partial list of the good laws that were put through by the Republican members. Careful consideration of It will show how well the Republicans did their work In factf it Is ample j;lstIncatIon of the statement that no prior session of the legislature has accomplished so much in behalf of the people. The Republicans not only passed these bills, but most of them are as good as could be made on the subject and are far in advance of anything of the kind In any other state. It may be said truthfully that, the Rcpubllcans, this time, took an advanced step and it Is not unreasonable to believe that the work will be greatly appre ciated as soon as it is understood. In view of the foregoing summary of what was actually accomplished, it is difficult indeed to see where the Democrats have any great amount of comfort from what they did during the session. A comparison of what was done bf tne Republicans ana Democrats is m teresting. It is indeed a deadly par allel for the Democrats.' Their work may be summarized as follows, with out fear of contradiction: Defeated the Mattingly high license bill that would have provided about $1.800,000 annually for the benefit of the school fund and about $1,000,000 i nnit.i.. ii.. l .in tul """s lue various cuies ana . .X Voted against this bill. i nfont. h ioi vm.

Attempted to defeat the pure food law. Introduced anft passed In the house a bill to Increase the school levy 3 per cent. Their scheme was to tax tha people in general 3 per cent rather than place an extra burden on the sa - loon keepers that would have raised nve times the amount that would have been obtained by the taxation bill. . Tried to Annul tho nH.trnct Mil ms that it would not have been effective, Their position on this measure was in direct contravention of their representation to the people. üpposed the public depository bill, although they were pledged to enact one. Tried to nrevent thn pnartmont of ft eood Drivate banklnir law. Obstructed the enactment of a good ditch law, Attempted to repeal the metropoli tan police law at the Instigation of the whisky interests. Killed a bill to cut down the cost of state printing several thousand do!? lara a year. The foregoing gives only a brief In? sight Into the work done by the Demo cartlc members and for which they would like to have great credit.

Sn Tlfemory of Vfiss JLura Wilson

The world owes much to the men and women who unmindful of public praise have gone steadily and bravely forth in the line of duty, content to follow the "even tenor of their way" so that like the woman of old, it might be said of them "they have done what they could." In the life of Lura Wilson shone many of the rarest virtues. As fellow students and fellow teachers we feel dctply the loss of her presence among us. We realize that a great force for good has left us. We place to her memory the excellency of the far reaching effects of her thoughts and deeds. We extend our heart-felt sympathy, to the bereaved parents and brothers and sister. A beautiful and useful character has left us, gone from us, but her influence lives on. She has set in vibration the heart strings of all who knew her, this vibration set to the music of truth will find other hearts and move on through all time, attesting to a life well lived. R. A.

enact a public depositories, nrivate banking, anti-trust and primary elec tion laws. The old saying that platforms were made to run on and not to stand on, never fitted any narty better than the Democrats during the recent session of the legislature, as they paid no more attention to the platform than if they hadn't had one. It looks as if the late session of the legislature will result in the railroads being compelled to furnish better, if not adequate transportation facilities to the coal trade. The latter has been hampered for many years by car shortages and blockades, but the legislature has not only enacted a law strengthening the railway commission act, but has passed the shippers' bill, which gives the railroad commission power to have a receiver appointed for a road that fails to furnish adequate transportation facilities to its patrons. The bill goes even farther and au thorizes the commission to issue receivers' certificates for the purpose of obtaining money to buy new cars and engines for the roads that are short of them. Under the railroad commission's own act it can prevent any road from maintaining an embargo against another, which will do away with the conditions that existed at Terre Haute during the winter, when hundreds of carloads of coal were tied up The shippers' bill provides that freight must be hauled fifty m'les day after it is started, so under that provision a blockade would be Impossible. There is a provision in the railroad commission act of special interest to operators, as it will compel th railroad companies that conflscat coal to notify at once the consignee and consignor or pay an advance of 50 cents on each and every ton confiscated. In the passage of these, two acts the coal trade of this state' has scored a big victory, although the railroad attorneys are preparing to go into the supreme court to see If the new laws are constitutional. The Woodflll public depository law will not go into effect until the first ot next December, but in the mean time much will have to be done toward arranging to carry out Its plan. The application of this law is expected to do away with the system under which public officials have reaped the benefit of investing the public's money In their own enterprises. It has been no secret to the public for many years that county treasurers were Investing the public money in their own inter ests, and that the people were being deprived of hundreds of thousands of dollars that rightfully belonged to them. May License Saloons. The supreme court of the United States, Monday announced a decision in the case of Delamator against the State of South Dakota, which seems to put a quietus on the recent deciI sion of Judge Artman, of Indiana, that a state has the right to license the selling of jritoxicating liquors. The court holds that a state has the right to impose a license on dealers in intoxicating liquor. ' In this South Dakota case Delamator was proscct.ted for selling whisky in Porter coun 1 ty as an agent for a Minneapolis house. He attacked the state license law on the ground that it interfered with interstate commerce and was therefore unconstitutional. I 1 ne court noIds tnat tne sel,,np" f liquors is not interstate business,, but state business, and subject to the po lire regulations of the state. It clear from Monday's decision that if the Indiana case should be carried to ine supreme court tne Artman decis,on would not be sustained A Remarkable Record. , Charles Holt, the senior editor of this paper, father of the editor of the Culver Citizen, began his 91st year today (March 5th), having been born in Herkimer County, N.

In spite 'of the breakdown over insurance legislation which is greatly to be deplored the record of the Legislature is, on the whole, surprisingly good. It has passed a 2-cent fare law, an anti-trust law, a primary law, a law strengthening the Railroad Commission, a private banking law, a public depository law, a railroad hw for the protection of the shippers, a pure food law, a law reorganizing the institutional boards and several other excellent measures. All this is in the line of redeeming the pledges made to the people. Whether they have actually been redeemed or not depends on the character of tht legislation. As far as we now know it is for the most part reason ably good. There have been many failures to enact good laws, and the enactment or attempted enactment ol some bad ones. Two high license bills were defeated, the metropolitan police law would have been repealed except for the governor's veto of the repeal bill, the Vincennes University bill was passed, and effective insurance legislation was not enacted. The Legislature raised salaries in Indian apolis and Marion county, and in do ing so it wronged the people. But our own city officers and our Representa tives 'in the Legislature are largely responsible for this. It is, however, a great wrong. Indianapolis News., Ignorance of Legislatures. President Roosevelt's dispatch to the governor of California will serve to call the attention of that state to the fact that manifestations by the legislature of unreasoning hostility to the Japanese in ways that have nothing to do with the right of the states to regulate their own schools is not the best way to accomplish what the California labor unions, under the name of the Japanese-Korean Exclusion league, are seeking to accomplish. Not much is to be expected f the California labor unions, but the California legislature ought to know that international affairs are committed to the national government, not to individual states much less to the hoodlum element.

Garfield, as successor to Secretary Hitchcock in the Interior Department, has a great cxamph. to live up to, and it can not be truthfully said that the public has the same confidence in his ability to handle the difficult problems that will come before him and to circumvent the ras cality which is particularly rampant in his field that the President seems to possess. However, the President, who will necessarily dominate the department, . has had opportunity to know him well, and as Secretary Hitchcock leaves the work rather del initely mapped out it may be that mis givings are groundless. Concerning Mr. Cortelyon, wno becomes secretary of the treasury, thereis no room for doubt that he will be equal to his new dutiees. At c ery step of his phenomenal career he has met all requirements. Less than ten years ago he was McKinley's pri vate secretary. Since then he has sue cessively filled two Cabinet positions with credit to himself and to the administration, has served with ability as chairman of the Republican na tional committee, and now enters upon his third office in the Presi dent's Cabinet. Sneers have been in dulged in from time to time over his rapid promotion, as if this were matter of favoritism, but it is to be noted that his enemies have failed to point out any specific instance of in capacity on his part On the con trary, his sane, conservative, sensible course has frequently wrung from them reluctant approval. George L. von Meyer, who becomes postmaster general, has served acceptably in several important dip lomatic positions, but his ability as a manager of such a vast business as the postal service is yet to be tested. Other appointments made about two months ago create, with those of this week, almost a complete reorganiza tlon' of the Cabinet, though the change is less radical than It seems because of the transfers from one department to another. Unique in Several Ways. Alabama is the first state in the union alphabetically. She is unique in another particular.

Wisconsin Senators. Wisconsin has been singularly fortunate in its representation in the United States senate. The mere men tion of the names of James R. Doolittle, Timothy C. Howe, Matt H. Carpenter, and John C. Spooner attests the truth and justice of this observation. For years Mr. Spooner has been recognized as the foremost lawyer, the most forceful debater, the keenest logician, and the clearest reasoner in the senate. He was born at Lawrenceburg, Ind., which may in a measure account for his extraordinary smartness. South Bend Times. Death of Oliver Stone. Oliver, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Stone, residing near the Bjrkey bridge .died Friday, March 8, at 1:15 p. m. 'after an illness of one wee1: of appendicitis. He was a very bright, kind-hearted boy, ten years of age and his death was very sad. Dr. Stephens, assisted by a specialist from South .Bend per. formed an operation Friday Oliver realized that he was dying, called the family around the bed divid d among them some candy that had been given him, also some pieces of money that he had saved and then sank peacefully in death. Death of E. Helms. E. Helm, one of the old and respected residents of North township, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Kenny, east of Harris station at midnight Tuesday night. He had been in failing health for several years and his death was not unexpected. He leaves one son who resides in this city, and several daughters. His wife died about four years ago.
