TRUSTEES VICTIMS OF SCHOOL PATRONS Township Made to Bear Big - Expense Because of the Hack Law. MANY INCONSISTENCIES.

TRANSFER OF CERTAIN PUPILS ALWAYS PROVES A BIG COST TO THE TOWNSHIP SEEK TO DO AWAY WITH THIS.

NEW TEXT BOOKS

State Board of Education to Advertise for Contracts Soon.

PATRONS GET NO RELIEF.

Hack troubles are not the least with Vhlch the township trustees of the county have to contend and relief is being sought It is probable that the trustees of this county may seek a revision of the legislation that now governs the hack service for pupils Attending district schools. The law requires that the trustee must furnish

a hack line to bring the pupllB toi

School and he is given no relief against the whims and foibles of the Matrons. Wherever It is possible the trustees have sought to do away with the necessity of long hack lines by means of transfers. If a family resides far removed from neighbors and especially the road which is traveled most by the hack, the trustee usually endeavors to induce the patrons to transfer their children to schools that are more convenient of access. In the majority of cases the parents are willing as they prefer their children ride only as short distances as necessary. But there are exceptions. One of the best examples of the exception class is to be found in Boston township. A resident insists that his children be taken by hack to the school at Milton, five miles from his home. He resides three miles from a school in Fayette county, which is located on the same road as his house. He will not consent to his children going to the Fayette county school, however. He demands they be taken to Milton and besides run a special :?k lino for his benefit, the trustee U required to pay the cost of the t'iiiifefer as the school at Milton is incorporated. The trustees say that such injustices are not infrequent but the law is on the side of the patron. For- the small township to pay $2.50 per day for a hack besides the cost of transfer to satisfy one man is regarded as somewhat extreme. In Franklin township, a patron has three children. One is within the age limit specified by law as requiring hack service. The home is located but one mile from the school and the father demanded that the trustee operate a hack line past his house so as to accommodate the one child. The man refused to accept a transfer, so as to enable the child to attend another Bchool. The sentiment among the trustees of this county favors a change in the hack law.

Amusements

The state board of education has decided to advertise for contracts for new text books for the public schools of the state for the next year, and the long suffering local buyers who have felt the weight of fancy prices for school books, at not only the beginning of school, but even more often have hopes that they will reap the benefits. The books which are now used and on which contracts expire next year, are the geographies, arithmetics, copybooks and readers. It is optional with the school board of the state to continue a contract for ten years, providing the books in use are considered satisfactory. All but two members of the board, however, supported a resolution introduced by Governor J. Frank Hanly, directing the president to advertise for bids to be opened April 1, 1909. There will be no change in the school books until then, but it is possible that new books will be adopted for the school next year. On this account the school book companies that supply the state of

Indiana with text books are making desperate efforts to renew the existing contracts which do not expire until next year. The decision to advertise for bide shows that the state board of education is "figuring on changes" in text books. The school book contract is one of the largest and most important that the state has to let. Approximately $700,000 is expended annually by the people of Indiana for school books. A ten-year contract calls for a popular expenditure of $7,000,000.

Penalties Have Often Been Imposed In Variou Countries. Bachelors as candidates or probation ers for marriage have formed the subject for legislation from the earliest times. Penalties have often been im posed on male celibates in various countries. In proportion as the interests of the state were regarded as above those of the individual the enforcement of marriage was the more severe. In anc'.ent Sparta it was considered a punishable crime not to marry or to marry too late In life. In Athens, though not severely punished, celibacy was discouraged In early times. At Rome marriage was fostered by positive penalties imposed on unmarried men and sometimes even on women as well as by discrimination in favor of heads of families. In the allotment of the Campanlan lands by Julius Caesar portions were given only to the fathers of three or more children. Under Augustus a law was enacted prohibiting unmarried persons below the age of sixty in men and fifty in women from taking possession of a legacy, and this was applied even to widows, who, in order to secure their part of their deceased husband's estates, were forced to marry again within a period of two years.

HE STATED AT TIME OF CHICAGO CONVENTION THAT IF HITCHCOCK WAS NAMED HE WOULD RESIGN PLACE.

Washington, July 23. A peculiar situation confronts the republican national committee as a result of the evident determination of Elmer Dover to retain the secretaryship of the organization. During the progress of the Chicago convention it was reported that Mr. Dover had announced that if Frank H. Hitchcock was named for the campaign chairmanship he would quit the committee. Friends of Mr. Hitchcock declare he awaits the resignation of Secretary Dover, but is convinced that Dover intends to hang onto the Job. Dover, it is declared here will be secretary in name only, if he should remain in his present position. It is known for a certainty that the relations between Chairman Hitchcock and Secretary Dover are strained, a coolness between them existing prior to the Chicago convention becoming intensified as a result of differences over the Taft candidacy developed at that time. People here in a position to know say that Dover more than any one else was responsible for the action of Chairman Harry New in dismissing Mr. Hitchcock from the assistant secretaryship, which he had filled since 1904. Hitchcock's removal from the presentation of a number of proxies at a meeting of the national committee held to pass on contests brought by the allied interests. While admitting that there is bad feeling between Hitchcock and Dover, friends of Dover declare that whatever the present attitude of the new chairman toward the secretary of the committee, Judge Taft is favorable to the retention of Dover. It is the expectation here that Mr. Dover's status with the committee will b edetermined upon the arrival here of Chairman Hitchcock. They have not met since Mr. Hitchcock was named chairman. If for any reason Mr. Dover should make up his mind to retire, it might be necessary to call a meeting to name his successor, although the belief is entertained by some that the committee could be polled by the chairman through correspondence.

Chicago. July 23. James B. Drake, national committeeman of the independence party from Alabama,- who is here to fight in the battle for the nominations at the convention and to aid in the campaign, has revealed one of the most powerful batteries which is to be turned upon any of the old organizations. Committeeman Drake, who is one of the leading figures in organized labor in the south stated that he will seek the indorsement of the hundreds of union officials in the party to a pronunciamento in which the indorsement of President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, for

the democratic ticket will be almost

nullified. He propseB to show by a preponderance of the opinions expressed by recognized labor representatives from every part of the country that President Gompers' declaration was premature, inconsistent, not true to the spirit felt by union men, and unauthorized by the rank and file of the men whom Gompers represents.

Freiburg. Saxony, July 23. Grete Beler, the eighteen-year-old daughter of the Mayor of Freiburg, was beheaded last night for, the murder of her fiance, she having given him poison and then shot him. The executioner carried a thin, long box containing the ax with which he did his work, and also a handbag with a suit of evening clothes. The wearing of this garb is an official requirement of the somber occasion. The execution was done privately, and he departed from Freiberg as quietly as he came.
