Charleß Griffin, of Hammond, who was a promibtent candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, is in favor of urging the legislature to start in motion a constitutional amendment which will prevent aliens from voting. He said this state is one of a very few which allows a foreigner to vote after he has declared his intention of becoming a citizen instead of compelling him to wait till after he is naturalized before being given the right of suffrage. Hundreds vote who never expect to become citizens, and the power thus wielded by this element is enormous in some of the larger cities.

Postoffice Elections.

Six out of the nine republican congressmen-elect in Indiana viz: Faris, Landis, Crumpacker, Royse, Steele and Henry, have now denied the story that an agreement had been among the congressmen to have postmasters in their districts selected by party elections. The last one who has spoken on the subject is Congressman Heyry of Anderson, who says:. “There is nothing in the postoffice election agreement story. Speaking for myself, it is utterly without any foundation. “I have never been favorably inclined to it, and the more I have seen it tried the less I think of it: Such elections stir upstrife within the party in the locality’ and at the same time do not give as good an opportunity to select by an election a desirable man as in the case of ordinary elections, where nominations are first made by the opposing parties. All of the strife is within the party lines. My feeling is that if I am called npou to nominate a man for the position of postmaster that I should use my judgement and try and nominate such a man as ought to be selected under all the circumstances. ‘JWhile it is not a desirable duty to perform to have to decide between many good men as to whom should be named for a place, yet if that dnty devolves upon me, would not feel like shirking the responsibility by saying that I would recommend any one who might receive the most votes at an election, without regard to his fitness.”

Township Trustees.

Anderson Herald: The township trustees’ organization will make an effort this winter to secure the repeal of the law requiring them to publish their annual reports. * The law is a good one and their only trouble with it is that it has been set at defiance by al&rgecnmber of trustees throughout the state. The taxpayers can well afford to pay a nominal sum to have their reports published, if it will have a tendency, only a tendency, to check the extravagances in many ' of the trustees’ offices. Supplies have been brought in thousands of cases because there was a large “rebate’’ to the trustees. The trustees cannot afford to make a united effort to prevent the public from knowing something of the business transacted in their offices. The people have a right to know how every dollar was expended, and it is-the duty of the trustees to see that they know it, or suffer the penalty attached to the law requiring publication of such information. Crawfordsville Journal: We have on the statute books a law compelling township trustees to make an itemized statement of their receipts and expenditures. In many of the townships of the state the law is a dead letter. If the law wqp enforced it would be the means of stopping many a leak, and there would be a hesitancy on the part of the trustees before the v would invest iii rain water colored with brick dust at 9100 a barrel. It has just been made public that a trustee in one of the northern

counties of the state during last year brought from a Chicago supply house goods of various kinds t > the amount of S3O 000 Another in the eastern part of the state bought $20,000 worth. Both of. these trustees of course, ignored the law in the publication of their receipts and expenditures. And these trustees will be at the head of a strong lobby this winter to have the law repealed. In the background.will be these supply bouses from Chicago and Indianapolis. The lfiw should stand and its proper enforcement will be the meat;s of informing the people just how their money is expended, and thousands'of dollars thereby saved through fear of publicity.
