FOR GOOD AUDITOR WALKER ASKED TO J HAVE COMMISSIONERS APPOINT MEMBER TO ROADS BOARD. Each of Fourteen Counties to' Name Member of Acting Committee Who Will Assist in Work. County Auditor Charles M. Walker, has received a communication from the Good Roads Congress, composed of fourteen of the surrounding counties, asking that the Board of Commissioners appoint a citizen to serve on an acting "committee, which shall assist the regular good roads congress. The letter is self explanatory and is as follows : County Auditor, Plymouth, Ind. At the Good Roads Congress for the District comprising the counties of Lake, Porter, Laporte, St. Joseph, Elkhart, Lagrange, Steuben, Noble, Dekalb, Starke, Marshall, Fulton, Pulaski and Kosciusko, held at South Bend, Ind., May 19, 1910 a committee on permanent organization, was named which framed a report, adopted unanimously by the Congress, providing among other things, that a permanent organization be effected, that the same be incorporated that the officers be a President, two vicepresidents, and a secretary-treas urer, and that a Board of Directors (bef appointed to consist of one director from each count v in the district. It was the sense of the Con gress that the director from each county be chosen by the county commissioners, who are honorary members of the organization. the commissioners to be guided. where considered advisable, hv the eomimercial clubs of the vari ous counties Jwlvere they exist, in the matter of making Hheir selection. In order that further steps may be taken to perfect the organization, a meeting has been called by the officers-elect, to be held at South Bend. Ind., June 10, 1910, at 1:30 p. m. and "it is suggested that the directors, to ho 'seecjjed from the fourteen counties, he present at the meeting. You are respectfully requested to take up the matter with your local hoard of commissioners, under the provisions above stated, make your selection, report 'to me at once and have the director-elect meet with the officers on the date mentioned. -Matters of importance will come up for consideration and it is advisable that a representative attendance hci assured in order that the view of the entire distance comprised in the initial call he ascertained. The auspicious manner in which the movement of highways in this part of the state had its inception bespeaks its ultimate "success. However, this movement, like all others, must be pushed to make it a success. Interest in it should not lag. Due publicity must he given to Its acts and purposes. It is imperative that the organization be perfected in order that the ends may be assured. For that reason you are respectfully urged to take action in the matter of selecting a director from your county and completing arrangements for his attendance at the meeting called above. Very respectfully C. E. Cra'bill. Secretary-Treasurer The People Should Elect. The strongest argument in favor of electing United States 'senators by direct vote of the people is tlrat under the present system electors find themselves under the necessity of voting for objectionable legislative candidates in order to bring a7out the choice of a senator In congress of the voter's litical faith, as oertainincf to national politics. Thus, a Republican vote, on local or state issues, might want to see aJ)emocrat elected to the legislature: yet. on national issues, he would prefer to be represented ' in the upper house of congress by one of his own political faith, a Republican. And visa versa.. In cases like those the present method of electing United States senators is very unsatisfactory. To Reform the World. The International Moral and Social commission has been incorporated at 'Washington I). C. to conduct a world-wide campaign of moral, social, and political reform.

MAY HAVE JOKER. Democratic Leaders of House Suspicious of Rail Bill Amendment.

Washington. June t Democratic leaders in the housx'. claim they have discovered a "joker" in the senate amendments to the railroad bill, which, would enable railroads to return to the practice, of rebating.

Several democrats who studied the serrate bill asserted that the railroads might even confess damage as the result of a misquoted rate, and pay to the favored shipper rebates under the guise of damages. The provision was offered as an a intendment by Senator Shivelv. democrat of Indiana. las.t Wednesday. Mr. Sliivcly cxlaindd that he offered it in order to make certain the civil remedy to the persons suffering damage, the existin'g law providing that the penalty should accure to the United States.

The conference of the Church of bte 1 5 pet hern nmv in progress at Winona Lake, is one of the most notable in the history of that church. The attendance has been large from the time the meeting opened, several thousand people arriving before the opening day. It is estimated that ',:,- 000 people were on the ground yesterday: The regular attendance is about 2.1.000. Every ear out of Goshen yesterday was crowded, one car carrying about 170 passengers. There were ."0!) round trip tickets sold at the Goshen station and this is only a small part of tlwxe who went from here. The Big Four sold 1.010 tickets from North Manchester. The services and general work of the conference are similar to those of former years.

The hotels and Imarding houses are taxed to their utmost to accommodate the people in attendance. There are many who are entertained by friends living within easy reach of the park. It is rejMirtol that professional nick-jHckcts arc operating among the people there to tire great annoyance of evcrylxdy. These individual! go about in the garb of the Brethern and accomplish their nefarious work under that guise.

Train Lost Life When Train Struck Washout In 1908 That carelessness and negligence on the part of the Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company and not an act of the Almighty, was responsible for the wreck near Tyner in the spring of 1:H).S. which resulted ,in the death of Fireman Perry D. Johnson, was the view taken by the jury before which the damage suit brought by the administrator of the fireman's estate was tried in Howard circuit court a fewdays ago, and which resulted in a judgment for -$500. " The jury decided that the sand ami gravel which washed onto the track and derailed the locomotive Johnson was firing was caused by the company not exercising proper care in draining its right-of-way. The railroad people contended that their drains were sufficient to carry off any ordinary amount of storm water, bid maintained that on this, occasion a storm of extraordinary, violence had occurred, and that as a consequence the Trains had become congested and the storm water had overflowed onto the railroad track, leaving a deposit of sand and gravel there. It was argued that this violent storm wias a tilling the railroad company could not foresee, consequently could not safeguard against. Because an act of the Almighty God pleaded by the- defense, the case became known1, as the "Hand of God Case' The jury, however, did not oTace the responsibility on the Almighty. The railroad comoany has not as vet indicated that an appeal will be taken. Convict Gets Damages. V.

C. June 9. The aggregate number of ,32,!)3(J,445 communicants or members of all religious denominations in continental United States was reported for lUOfi, according to the U. S. Census of Religious Bodies for the same year, as detailed in Part I of the LT. S. Census Bureau's special report on the subject, now in press. Of this grand total the various Protestant bodies reported -0;S7. 74 and the Roman Catholic Church VfiVJ,U?. For purposes of comparison, the census authorities divided the principal cities into fou:classes, those having in 1!)0() a population of 300 ,000 and over, constituting the first class; those of from 100.000 to 300,000 forming the second; those of from .10.000 to 100,000 making the third; and those of from 23.000 to .10,000 forming the fourth class. Of the Protestant aggregate there were 1,478,145 or 7.3 per cent in the first class cities; 4.7 per cent in the second; and 7.4 per cent in the third and fourth class comibined, while S0.G per cent were outside the principal cities. Of the Roman Catholic church's total membership there were 3,375,453 or 27.0 per cent in first class cities; 1,301,132 or 11.3 per cent in the second; 1.570,014 or 13 per cent in the third and fourth classes combined; with 5,771.013 or 47.S per cent outside the principal cities. It is seen, therefore, that the Tinmber of members of the Roman Catholic Church reported in cities of the first class was considerably more than double the number reported by all (he Protestant bodies, while outside of the principal cities the number reported by the Catholics was only a little over one-third of the numiber credited to the Protestants. It is .pointed out in the report that the strength of tire Protestant bodies, as compared with the Roman Catholic church is greatly understated. Only two of the Protestant lxjdies reported a majority of their membership in the principal cities, i. e., the Church of Christ.
