CONGRATULATIONS Down in Beallview there is a new factory going up with all the speed that a day and night shift of men can push it. This is due to the efforts of the South Side Improvement Association. In the last few year3 the development of the southern po.-tion of Richmond has been such that it points to a new field of growth for the entire town. And this has been done through the efforts of the co-operation of men of energy and application, of men who have enough confidence in themselves and the town to get out of the rut This confidence in the town and the spirit of co-operation are so noteworthy that little needs to be said except congratulations. Such spirit as this reacts on the whole community town and country all of Richmond.

ANOTHER CONSIDERATION Another consideration of the next legislature is the legislative re-apportionment of the state. Upon th? next legislature will depend the question as to whether or not this state is to be democratic or republican for years to come. The last legislature was composed of a republican majority in the senate and a democratic lower house. This is all that prevented the democrats at that time from fixing the legislative districts in such shape that they could control the legislature. And what applies to the legislature applies with equal force to the redistricting of the congressional units. The next legislature will tell the talc. The Sixth congressional district, as it now stands, will always be accounted fairly safe under the present arrangement. Wayne county is tbz stronghold of the district and has saved the day more than once in a closely drawn battle.

Hems Gathered in From Far and Near

Will Require Active Volcano. This bitter and acrid disputation concerning Mt. McKinley reminds us that there is no high mountain left to bo named for another man who was once President of the United States before he turned his attention to lions and wart hogs. Los Angeles Times.

Doesn't Care to Queer the Doctor. From Africa the Colonel has written a letter warmly felicitating Peary, which seems to put it up to the antiPearyitos to get a similar one from Chancellor Day at least. Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Let Him Ask Aldrich. It is unwise to give a small state too much prominence in national politics. The Governor of Rhode Island now thinks he ought to have a salary of $4,000 a year. Chicago Tribune.

Enough to Make Him Sick. There is one good thing about Zelaya. When official impudence was passed around he didn't help himself to more than half the amount Castro took. Denver Republican.

This is a partisan viewpoint. But for those who believe in the republican party as the most effective means of securing the desires of the people, it will mean more, far more than the ordinary race for the legislature. The election of a democratic majority in the state legislature will have the effect of making it impossible under ordinary conditions for the republicans to come into control of the legislature, the United States senators, and the congressional representative?. The effect that this will have on the state ticket will be, in all probability, a sympathetic action during the same period.

This is a contingency which those who only view party as applied to national affairs, must take into account. The independent voter with republican leanings on the national ticket, who does very much as inclination strikes him on local and state issues (and there are many such in Indiana) must recognize the danger to the national policy that he has favored, if he next state legislature goes over to the gerrymander of the democrats.

PINCHOT VS. BALLING ER In view of the fact that it is alleged in certain quarters that Mr. Ballinger and Mr. Pinchot agree on the conservation of public lands, the following statements of both of them will clear up the question concerning the government attitude toward public property: Mr. Ballinger: "Unreasonable or narrow restrictions beyond the necessity of public protection against monopoly, or extortion in charges, will, of course, defeat development and serve no useful purpose. The statute should, therefore, while giving full public protection against the abuses of the privileges extended, so far as consistent encourage investment in these projects: and it must always be borne in mind that excessive charges for the franchise will fall upon the consumer." From the report of the Secretary of the Interior, Nov. 1009. Mr. Pinchot: "Congress must decide also whether immensely valuable rights to the use of water powers shall be given away to special interests in perpetuity and without compensation, instead of being held and controlled by the public." From a letter to Dr. Lyman Abbott, Nov. 30, 1000. When Mr. Ballinger speaks of the franchise cost falling heavier on the consumer he is right if his policy is pursued. If, on the other hand, these public properties, owned by all the people are put under government control and regulations, and not allowed to become the property of the Water Power Trust in perpetuity (Mr. Pinchot) that is another story.

Mr. Ballinger proposes to hand over these enormously valuable rights as cities used to hand over franchises to municipal corporations. Mr. Pinchot, in accordance with the Rooseveltian policy, believes that the people ought to have the profit and not the syndicates. Citizens in towns which have had trouble with perpetual franchises and are now contemplating either municipalization or municipal regulation to avoid the corporation aggrandizement of the unearned increment, may sea the difference.

ITCHING SKIN

EASILY SOOTHED.

Old and Tried Remedy Convinces Sufferers on First Trial.

That awful, asronizing itch, torturing day and night! then suddenly the skin calmed, soother and refreshed. That is what any eczema sufferer can accomplish in two minutes by the use of the right treatment; just oil of wintergreen. mixed with thymol, glycerine and other healing ingredients iu liquid form. While a smeary salve would only close tin the norps

of the skin, driving the disease germs

m still deeper, the medicine in liquid form penetrates the epidermis, kills

and washes out the eczema germs and

stops the itching instantly. We recommend this D. D. D. Prescription heartily, and we euarantre

that a trial bottle at 25 cents will convince you.

A WARNING Since its introduction into the United States, the sales of Parisian Saga have been phenomenal. This success has led to many imitations similar in name. Look out for them, they are not the genuine. See that the girl with the Auburn hair is on every package. You can always get the genuine at L. H. Fihe's. Parisian Sage is the quickest acting and most efficient hair tonic in the world. It is made to conform to Dr. Sangerbond's of Parist proven theory that dandruff, falling hair, baldness and scalp itch are caused by germs. Parisian Sage kills these dandruff germs and removes all trace of dandruff in two weeks; it stops falling hair and itching scalp and prevents baldness.

And remember that baldness is caused by dandruff germs, those little hard working, persistent devils that day and night do nothing but dig into the roo's of the hair and destroy its vitality. Parisian Sage is a daintily perfumed hair dressing; not sticky or greasy.

and any woman who desires luuriant and bewitching hair can get it in two weeks by using it. Beware of imitations, look for the girl with the Auburn hair on every package. Parisian Sage is now sold by leading druggists all over America and is guaranteed by L. H. Fihe to cure dandruff, stop falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks or monev back.

'"ou .in uy LUC OLillt! BUprflUe Court was taken here yesterday when Judge Joseph G. Leffler. in the Delaware Circuit Court, issued an order for a peremptory writ of mandate commanding County Treasury Ralph H. Clark to pay $17,064.40 to George W. McCray of Indianapolis, who holds a contract for the construction of a brick highway on Walnut street, south from near the center of the city to the township line. The road was uncom

pleted at the time the ruling of the'

Supreme Court was made. Is of Much Interest.

The question involved is one which j has caused widespread comment and j which has given rise to many and var-j icd opinions. The gist of the question I

is whether a road uncompleted at the time the law was declared invalid may be legally paid for with money derived through the sale of bonds executed and sold and moneys received prior to the declaration of the unconstitutionality of the act. Contractor McCray brought suit for a writ of mandate, both peremptory and alternative, to compel the payment of the amount ($17,064.40) said to be due. The sum is said to be an unpaid portion of an estimate based on SO per cent of the highway completed to date. The original estimate was $67,773.28 and the amount paid prior to the ruling of the Supreme Court was $50,706.88. The contract price of the road was $94,982. The length of the improvement will be practically three miles. Treasurer Pays Amount. The money was immediately paid by Treasurer Clark following the order of the court, and John Hayes & Sons Co., having the contract for another brick highway here, also received its pro rata share on its estimate. Work on the two roads mentioned, as well as another hold by John Gubbins, will be continued at once. The decision handed down by Judge Leffler is based almost wholly on the question of estoppel. A ruling ,of the Supreme Court is cited by the court in the decision made by him today. It is pointed out that, if after the Supreme Court considered the law and declared it unconstitutional, it probably would hold the three curative acts passed by the Legislature attempting to legalize that which has been done under said law so held unconstitutional also without legalizing power. It is then that the question of the local

court was decided almost solely from a standpoint of estoppel. The ruling reads: "In the case at bar the township has the benefit of the work done by the contractor under his contract with the Board of County Commissioners. The contractor has expended his money for construction or incurred his obligations therefor. The money sought to be recovered is for work already done for the benefit of Center Township. If the Supreme Court on rehearing, should finally determine that the act in quest ion is unconstitutional, still the plaintiff iu this case would be entitled in the court's opinion to recover the money which he seeks to have paid him for work done in this case." It is generally understood that no attempt will be made to take the present litigation to the Supreme Court. Treasurer Clark having expressed a wish to have an order of court before

he would pay tho money demanded by the contractor.
