We mean it, every REPEAL OF OPTION LAWJS DESIRED Wayne County Jefferson Club Passes Resolution Last Evening. HONESTY AND HOME RULE THE8E ARE REASONS ADVANCED BY ORGANIZATION FOR ITS ACTIONOFFICERS FOR THE ENSUING YEAR ELECTED. At a meeting of the Wayne County Jefferson club last evening, resolutions were adopted which ask the Tepeal of the county local option law. Common honesty and home rule arejUluded to by the democrats as the mson why such a law should be stricken from the statute books. C. B. Beck was appointed as delegate to the federation of democratic clubs, which will be held at Lafayette. The meeting was fairly well attended. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Pettis A. Reid; First Vice President, A. W. Blickwedel; Second Vice President, C. W. Merrill; Recording Secretary, Jos. M. Walterman; Financial Secretary, Hans Koll; Treasurer, O. F. McKee; Marshal. Henry Farwig; Sergeant at Arms, Wm. F. Klopp; Directors, B. B. Johnson, Harry Watt, E. R. Stover, R. O. Allen, H. R. Marlatt, George Staubach, C. B. Beck, Richard Schillinger, Henry Walterman. The complete resolutions are: Whereas, The democratic party of Indiana, did in March, 1908, in state convention assembled, unanimously approve a resolution declaring in favor of the passage of a ward and township local option law in this state, and , ; Whereas, In April, 1908, 5 the republican party of Indiana did in like manner declare in favor of a county local option law, and Whereas, The issue so joined was by common consent to be threshed out and decided by the sovereign vo ters of Indiana at the following No vember election, and legislation In harmony with that decision was to be enacted by the incoming . legisla ture of the state, and -Hanly a Trickster. Whereas, The governor of Indiana, in fhe face of these facts and for the apparent purpose of forestalling an honest and candid expression of the majority of the voters of the state in the temperance question, and of preventing such expression from being coined into law by a legislature elected on that issue, and ; under the cloak of an entirely different purpose, did call an extra session of the Indiana legislature in July, JOOS. a body not elected or instructed on the temperance question, and Whereas. Said special session of the legislature under the, whip and spur of the Hanly political machine, did pass a county local .option law, as endorsed by the republican state convention, and ; Whereas, At the following November ' election, ; the sovereign voters of Indiana did resent and repudiate this attempted fraud , upon their right of passing judgment on this or any other public ; Question, by . electing the democratic ; candidate for governor and a substantial majority of democratic members of the Incoming legislature, therefore be It v.; .Resolved, By the democrats of Wayne county, as represented by their only county organization, the Wayne County Jefferson club, that every consideration of : consistency honor, common honesty and home rule; demand: the repeal of the said county local option law as- endorsed by the democratic state- convention; and we earnestly appeal to the democratlc member of the Incoming legisthelr party throughout the state by

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions, signed by the proper officers of this club, be forwarded to the lieutenant governor aa president of the senate, and to the speaker of the house of representatives of the incoming general assembly of Indiana.

SUCCESS OF THE CORN SCHOOL IS NOW CERTAINTY (Continued From Page One.) double efforts in behalf of the school as the Richmond and Wayne County Y. M. B. C. was back of the movement. As a result iJL was predicted last evening that a membership of from 600 to 800 could be depended on this year. Club Congratulated. The corn school question was the first taken up by the club because of its importance and also to enable the farmers to return to their homes as soon as possible. Wilfred Jessup was the first speaker and he told of the plans for the school. He also said that the state agricultural authorities were proposing to establish corn schools in each district in the state. The Centerville school will be the second so established. Centerville was chosen for the holding of the school for two reasons, one that it is centrally located and the other because there are no attractions to divert interest. "By the management of the Good Roads Congress and the success of the Fall festival, combined with the courteous treatment the farmers received while in attendance at these events has caused the school promoters to come to you for co-operation" stated Mr. Jessup and continuing, "It is the plan to make' the institution a permanent one. It will be a lasting benefit to the community." . A Practical Organization. O. E. Fulghum was next introduced and following him Prof. C. W. Jordan, county superintendent and chairman of the executive committee of the school. He said, "Gentlemen, the Y. i M. B. C. is a theoretical as well as a practical club and when we looked for some place for help we immediately sought you. We have noticed the statement in the papers that the club is looking toward the farmers for success. The bringing of a factory where a $10,000 bonus is paid and the concern soon leaves is not as successful a venture to the city as the farmer. I am sorry to say that there have been several things which have kept the farmer out of the city and out of harmony with the citizens. Some of these things were ordinances passed in this hall, others were unpleasant experiences with fake attractions. We are asking for help and we believe that it will be a benefit to Richmond as well as to the county.' Mr. Jordan was generously applauded for his remarks. Levi Peacock, then spoke, asking for the co-operation, knowing that it would lend weight to the school." Program Not Completed. O. E. Fulghum again spoke on the school and outlined a plan usually followed but which has not yet been decided on. There will be lectures in the morning, the judgment of stock in the afternoon and popular lectures in the evening1, dealing with all phases of farm life. The extent of the lectures depend on the number enrolling. The expenses attached to holding the school will be somewhat great as a part of the receipts have to be given the state to help in the payment of the salaries of the professors of Purdue university who lecture. A large fund is also needed for the erection of stock pens, freight expenditures in bringing stock to Centerville and other incidential expenses. The expense will be reduced by the town council granting the use of the hall free of charge for the fire days of the school. Five members of the club will take

LEE charge of disposing of the 200 tickets. President R. G. Leeds named as this committee, E. E. Eggemeyer, Perry J. Freeman, T. P. Butler, Walter Commons and Wilfred Jessup. It was proposed that a committee of five be appointed to take charge of press and advertising wtrk for the school. It is as follows: O. E. Fulghum, chairman; Charles Neal, Charles Morgan, J. B. Gordon and Joseph Helms. Richmond Day Approved. The proposition of having a Richmond day met with the approval of the club. The "Richmond Day" committee includes W. P. O'Neal, chairman; Wilfred Jessup, Charles Kolp, Charles Commons, William Bailey. A few epigrams pronounced in the discussion by the club members follow : "Gentlemen you have encouraged farmers to get busy by your action," C. W. Jordan. "Fellow members whenever we help the farmers we are helping ourselves," P. J. Freeman. "You knocked the wind out of us and it is certainly appreciated by us and also many other farmers from over the county," O. E. Fulghum. TO TRAVEL ABROAD Richard A. Jackson Will Soon Leave on Extended Trip Through Europe. DR. WEIST GOES TO AFRICA. Richard A. Jackson, of Chicago, formerly of this city, intends to leave the United States in a few weeks for an European tour.

INTEREST 111 THE SCHOOL ANNUAL Board of Editors and Other Officers for Publication Have Been Named. STAFF IS A STRONG ONE HUBERT WANN HAS BEEN APPOINTED EDITOR-IN-CHIEF AND HIS ASSISTANTS ARE PICK OF THE HIGH SCHOOL. Preparations for the forthcoming issue of the High School Annual are being given added impetus each day. The entire school body has centered its interest in the issue and everyone is expecting great things from the board of editors. It is believed competent persons have been selected as heads of each department and nothing will be overlooked by them in their effort to put forth a magazine that will be thoroughly in keeping with the standard of the school. It is believed that with a good live body of editors, there is no reason why R. H. S. can not produce an annual superior to those issued by the average High School and equal in character to the college publications. Wherever possible it has been the aim to place at the head of each department a pupil who is acquainted with the line of work under his direction. There is a number of students, who are quite talented as writers and grammarians and these have been sel ected for the editorial departments. Nothing but success appears to be in prospect and all that is needed is careful work on the part of the few pupils selected for it. The staff is as follows: Editor, Hubert Wann; Assistant, Mildred Kuhn. Business Manager, Stonehill Keates; Assistant, Lucile Townsend. Literary Editor, Mary Fisher; Assistant, Blair Converse. Faculty Editor, Bessie Adams; Assistant, Ralph Brown. Social Editor, Howard Hunt; Assistant, Vera Fleming. , Athletic Editor, Eddie Cox; Assistant, Agnes Kelly. Music Editor, Ruth Peltz; Assistant, Bernhardt Knollenberg. Art Editor, Carlos Haas; Assistant, .Elmira Kempton. Personal Editor, Abbie Schaefer; Assistant, Clifford Thomas. Alumna Editor, Willard Kemper; Assistant. Marguerite Rush. Class Chroniclers, James Chapman, Senior; Grace Woodyard, Junior; Margaret Ferguson, Sophomore; Benjamin Johnson, Freshman. MAD DOGS ATTACK WOUNDED AND THE DYING REFUGEES (Continued From Pagp One.) ed to have been in Italy at the time of tbe earthquake are on file at the state department awaiting some information which may be communicated to their friends. Already, through cables received from Ambassador Griscom and American consular offices in Italy, the department has been able to reply favorably to dispatches received from many sections regarding persons known to have been In Italy. SHIPS APPRECIATED. Rome, Jan. 6. The prompt dispatch of a part of the American battle ships with the fleet commander. Rear Admiral Sparry, to offer aid in the earthquake relief work has added to the public feeling of appreciation and gratitude. Word has come that Admiral Sperry has opened a fund for the sufferers aad that the men of the

fleet are contributing generously. The catastrophe is almost wholly Italian,' few foreigners being among the dead. The American embassy and Americans who have gone to the scene either as volunteers in relief work or as correspondents, have not found any further Americans among the victims. Signor Rava, the Italian, minister of public instruction, has received a telegram from Messina saying that the university there has been destroyed. The library, famous for its collection of manuscripts, may be recovered, but the authorities have not thought it proper to make any attempt in that direction while human suffering remainsunrelieved. The celebrated museum of natural history is lost. Queen Helena has asked the authorities and people throughout Italy not to engage in the usual festivities on her birthday, next Friday. "I cannot possibly think of any kind of rejoicing," said the Queen, in communicating her desire to the Court Chamberlain, "while the nation is suffering such terrible mourning." The queen added that she Intended to spend her birthday in nursing the wounded and in attending especially to relief work among the women and children, which is, to a large extent, under her direction. In order further to aid tbe earth quake sufferers Queen Helena has turned a portion of the Quirinal Palace into a workshop, where a number of Italian women of high rank, dressmakers and working girls, sit all day long in the greatest friendliness, busily engaged in cutting out and sewing garments for the refugees. The women are under the superintendency of the queen herself, who. with her own hands, often guides fingers unaccustomed to s work of this kind. Each afternoon there is a rest period of one hour, when all take tea together, but, as soon as the time Is up the queen inexorably commands that the work be resumed. Plans for Rebuilding. Plans for the rebuilding of Reggio and Messina already are being discussed in detail here, but especially with regard to the latter place, which is the second city of Sicily. It is estimated that about $15,000,000 will suffice to rebuild Messina for 50,000 inhabitants,- making it a commercial and maritime center. It will take about $S,000,000 to rebuild Reggio for 25,000 people. In any event, many years must elapse before the thoroughly terrorized populations can be induced to return to live in the stricken territory. Another project is to transfer Messina provisionally to Milazzo, a small town near the ruins of Messina on tbe north coast of the island. It has been decided to reconvene the Italian Parliament on Friday, or Saturday of this week to consider remedies and measures to cope with the existing condition in Calabria and Eastern Sicily. Three members of the chamber of deputies perished In the earthquake. A bill will be presented setting forth that all people who were In the stricken cities and towns who have not been found at the expiration of three months shali be considered dead. The pope yesterday visited the wounded in the Vatican hospital, accompanied by Dr. Giuseppe Petacci, his private physician and heard the doctor's opinion on each case. I Two unrehearsed Incidents have marked the Kaiser's visit to Venice. His little dog, by an oversight, got t ashore, from the Hohenzollern without ! a muzzle and was seized by a member of the municipal guard, who had bis ! pnger bitten slightly for his trouble. As soon as the dog's owner's name was f revealed It was released.
