SEEK TO REPEAL MAYORALTY LAW
MAYOR LOGAN RECEIVES PLEA FOR ABOLISHMENT OF PRESENT LAW.
Says He Declined to Help in Asking The Legislature For Amendment.
There is a movement on foot throughout the State urging member of the Legislature to repeal that part of the rtties anJ towns act of 1905 which prohibits mayors cf -the various cities and towns from succeeding themselves. The movement is said ia be backed by the mayors themselves, many o' whom -are anxious to continue ir office for another term of four years Several meetings have been held and a petition is now being circulated throughout the State asking the next Legislature to repeal the provision The present law prohibits mayors or city councilmen from running for
second terms. Th is, drf the opinion of
men who are interested in city gorvv eminent, is bad, though the intention in creating the law "Was good. The purpose of the law was to prevent mayors from building up poliri
cal machines and from leading the
ciy into corrupt governments.
The fault with the law is stated in
this way:
As the law now stands, all the
ctmncilmen and the mayor go out of
office, at the same time and a complete new se: of officers are elected. This
leaves nobody in or at the head of
city administration that knows the details of the past 'history of the city gorverntmenit. Questions that . have
been considered ami disposed of, will
come up 'again, and the city will con
sider them as if they were new, thus
losing valuable time for which the
taxpayers are paying. If .there could be an old councilman held over, he coirkl explain briefly what has gone before and avoid such a loss. It is
contended fthait it is as necessary to
ftave somebody that understands city
government a.t the head of city gov
er nan en t, as it is to have a man at the head of a business that understands
the business.3' r . t.- . . , -w

mond is said to be the principal factor in the effort, and ihe Mayor H. A. Logan of ihis city, has received a copy of the above petition, requesting

that fce ottgCit to -be ashamed of him

Attorneys of cities in this state

why the salaries should be increased.
Ph-z present -salaries of the chief jus trees of the several States and Ter ritories are set forth in fiie pamph leu in the form of a table, and it i explained that "except the judges ii

fif all the Federal jtidges by $3,000 each, and this increased salary surely would be small enough." A table is given to show that higher salaries are paid to judges of New York than to Unite'd States judges, and higher salaries paid toi the judges in England than in the United States.

WASHINGTON, MONTANA AND

Judg(
During Past Twenty Years 60,721 Di
vorces Were Granted in This State Large Annual Rate.
The statistics on marriage and di- . r
vorce, issued Dy tne census bureau
riday, show that only three States,
Washington, Colotado and Montana,
exceed Indiana in the numDcr oif di
vorces granted in proportion to popu-
ation. The bureau's statistics cover
period of twenty years, from 1897
to 1006, inclusive. During tnat 20
year period, 00,721 divorces were granted in Indiana. This is at the rate
of 142 divorces annually for each
100.000 of population. In 1880 the di
ve rces -in the State were at the rate
of seventy for each 100,000 oi popula
tion.

of divorces, granted in each county in
190, and third, the number of di-
vorces granted in cacn county in me year . 1SS7.
The figures show that 1906 was the
baner year for divorces in Indiana Only in fourteen counties do the figures show fewer divorces in 1906 than
in 1887. In Dearborn county twen
ty-one divorces were granted in 1SS7,
anJ in 1906 nine were granted. The
j'oportiorrate decrease in the other
thirteen counties was not so large.
From 1887 to 1906 7,535 divorces were

611 divotrces were granted, ami n
1SS7 240 were granted. In Madison
county 2,441 divorces were granted
from 1SS7 to 1906. In 1900, 611 di
vorces were granted, and in 18S7 24C
divorces were granted.
Desertion Commonest Cause.
In the entire United States, from
1SS7 to 1906, there were 12,832,044
narriage and 945,625 divorces against 328,716 divorces for the pre
ceding twenty years. Divorce is no
two and a halt times a common.
:o:npared with the married popula
tion, as it was forty years ago. Utah
and Oonnecticut are tne only two States showing decreased divorce rate. Desertion caused 38.9 of the total divorces m the twenty years, almost half of the divorces being
granted to the htf-Jband for this cause
awd one-third to the wife for he same
cruise.
Drunkenness .was the ground in 5.? "er cent, of the cases in which the
vife brought suit, and in 1.1 per ce it
rf the cases in which the suit was
'rougCit by the husband.
1 he above percentages represent those cases in which the speoificJ
cause was the sole ground on which
the divorce was granted. Very fre

upon tvo or more in combination.

Thursday afternoon. The incident Wad another unusua
circumstance: Eberhock had called a
the Griffith house to see Mrs. Grif fkh's daughter, Mrs. Lottie Day
Mary Pennington, who claims to be his financee, came aTong, recognized his buggy standing in front of the place, climbed into the buggy and
awaited developments, in -the mean
time sending -word to Eberhock's mother. When the boy and Mrs. Day
?ame out to go riding Miss Penning
ton resolutely and successfully re sisted any efforts 4o get her out o
the buggy. Then, when Mater arrived
on the scene Georgie stepped lively
to vigorous musTc, -which was stopped only when Mater considered she had
inflicted sufficient punishment, but
v!h warned him that he would get a similar dose every time she found him
in Mrs. Day's company.

Tuthill Rules That Each Signer of Liquor Remonstrance Must Be Proved.

orove himself a legal voter, his name
will be scratched from the petition
and disregarded. By the meager majority of thirty-eight the anti-saloon
people claim they have the best of the argument.
That it will be a close fight with
onlv a camel's hair to decide between

and the people who have never imbTbcJ ami do not bc.ieve in other people imbibing will have to muster to a

State Superintendent Says This is
Especially True in Cities and in Townships.
Congress, in the three short months of the regular session which will open next Tuesday, will write at least one very important law upon .the statute books. There is harcfly any room to doubt that the bill of Senator Thos. II. Carter of Montana, establishing
a system of postal savings banks, will
enacted into law. Debate on this measure will begin "n the senate Iec. 14, when it comes up as a special order. It is not expected there will be any protracted discussion, for ; both national platforms in the last campaign approved the project, and there is a unanimity f sentiment in favor which paves the vay 'for speed. In view of the probability that governmental postal -savings banks soon .v'll be established, a word as to the ystem may be of interest. Every postoffice in the United States that is
authorized to issue money orders will become a postal savings bank office. Any person who is 10 years old or more may become a depositor by alacing $1, the minimum amount neceary to open an account. A married woman may enjoy the privilege f the system free from any control or interference by her husband. Depositor Given Pass Book. The depositor will be given a pass ok with the amount of his deposit duly entered and with his name on the back for identification. After an account has been opened deposits of 10 cents and multiples thereof will be received, but no one shall be permitted to deposit more than $200 in any "calendar month. No deposit shall 'be allowed to exceed $1,000 and no interest shall be paid on deposits in excess of $.'00. On deposits of $500 and less interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum shall lbe allowed and entered in the pas book to the credit of the depositor and shall become a part of the principal. Funds from the various postal savings bank offices shall be deposited in the nearest national banks that arc government depositories, where they shall draw interest at not less than 2 1-4 per cent per annum, so that the government can always depend upon a margin of at least one-quarter of 1 per cent, to pay the cost of the postal savings system. Funds deposited in postal (banks will not be subject to taxation by the United States or by any state. Such funds shall also b: exempt from attachment and garnishment. . - There are 60,624 postoffices in the United States and of this nnmber 40,000 do a money order business. These 40,000 postoffices will become postal Vavings bank offices under the new law. There are 1,174 money order postoffices iji I-idiana, and under the law there will 'be many postal savings banks in the Hoosier state.

forty miles over two railroad sys
tems, the carfares ot 423 people approximating $330. There'll be no halt
fares; to he a leal voter each of
the signers must be 21 years of age. And the" iailroad companies do not
consider it in the light of an excur-
'.-n or a pleasure jaunt. Everyone has visited the Gunness farm, and tfu promi ed railroad station is still a promise. No. this is . matter of the
most solemn and gravest import, and no price is too high for a water wagon on Bremen's streets.
Reflection drifts t'o the lonely-wives,
the unfed dogs, the unm'lked cows and the neglected chickens. Of course this will be the order of things next Saturday in nearly; 400 Bremen homes. Among the domestic animals the petted Angora alone will be hap
py tor the master never did pay much attention to her, and she always took
her food from the hand of the misses. What's more the lap of the mistress will be empty all day i-.nti the folds of arfnice, sott skirt are inviting to Miss Angora. In a spirit of brotherhood, some people might presume that the men folk, the wet "uns, who remain in Bremen, would gladly do the chores of their absent brethren. But such would be ridiculous presumption. There is a limit to kindness and generosity has its ibounds. In view of the fact that the honored absentees are working in direct opposition to their interests, it would be goodness bordering on the superhuman for them to make the burden lighter. Little mercymay ttiey expect from the "dry" party in the event of the passage of the remonstrance. If such is the result, not for :i day or a month but indefinitely must they endure the agony of a parched -throat.
For a period extending over a fortnight this cel Ibrated remonstrance case, brought to LaPorte county on a change of venue, has been argued before Judge Tuthill. As one attorr my expressed it, "It's got 'em al) athinking." Saturday Judge Tuthijll held a night session, trespassing dangereously near the Sabbath morn. The final ruling of the court was to the effect that each' remonstrator must prove hims-elf a legal voter. The ruling struck the attorneys for 'the remonstratora, Kellison and Parks, as a distinct surprise, but, appreciating the determination of their clients, that tight-it-out-all-summer spirit, .tiiey were only slightly disheartened. Tame and expense were but necessary punctuation marks to the sentence to be perioded next Saturday, a sentence which may' spell the death warrant of saloons in German township, j Mr. Parks stated Wednesday that all the remonstrators will not need be
present in person to be proved legal voters. Each of the 423 signatures
will have to be proved, but it will be done in' a different manner. When
the remonstrance was circulated
parties of twos and three secured
about 40 signatures. Thus one of
those who. witnessed the signing will suffice to prove all of the signatures which he witnessed. About 100 of the
423 signatures have heen proved, and
the attorneys are now awaiting the
summons of Judge Tuthill to continue the case, which it is expected will be next Saturday. The remonstrators
have not lost any signer so far, and
with their majority of 35, expect to
win easily.

Don't Wait For Coroner. .Many people still entertain the foolish idea that in the event of a death which requires the presence of a coroner, the body must remain where it has fallen until that official arrives to make his investigation as (to the cause of death. Instances are known of bodies being allowed to lie on a railroad track and other perilous positions. Undertakers state that their work in Caring for bodies of person meeting sudden death has often been hampered by the absurd notion that the bodies shouid not be touched until the coroner has -"viewed" the remains.

There was an unusual bet made by college students in Valparaiso on the recent election. A Turkey barquet was waged and one of flic conditions was that the losers -steal the turkeys for :f.ic spread. The Bryan crowd itirted out the other night ro steal the turkeys and made good their bet. They went to the county poor farm, a here one of the party espied a large hen roost. TGiey entered in the darkness of the night and bagged most of the fowls wien a big rooster made a cackle that could be heard for miles around. This aroused the superintendent and Hiis son, both of whom responded armed to the teeth with limiting irons of various kinds of antiquity. Tiie result was that each of "thieves" .vas finetl $10 and costs.
