A public official is usually between the devil

and Jfcfe deep blue sea. If he is not keep, the public is after him: if he faithfully to his duty, the interests

"gets it" going or coming. Market Master McKinley seems to be getting it "going." From the beginning he has put his conscience into his work. Instead of learning his business at the public's expense, he studied it at Indianapolis under a master and at his own expense. And instead of making his berth as soft as possible, he has made it hard for himself since his incumbency, by performing his duties as if he were working for himself. Espjecially in his work as market master has he been conscientious. Although his own comfort would incline him to let things drift as they have been and his own interest would dictate that he fight for the market's continuation, he has been loyal enough to the public which employs him to take off the lid and reveal the actual state of affairs in regard to it. Experience and investigation have convinced him the city market is now 'a losing venture. In spite of appearing himself to have failed and his running the loss of losing a part of his own work, he has advocated that it be abolished unless a way out is found. Naturally enough the two dozen individuals who are profiting by the market are after him with hammer and tongs. They are expressing their opinion of him in language vigorous if not always elegant and some of them are actively seeking to discredit him among the influential. Now is the time for the public to show its ap-

Summer-Spoiled Skin j I Removed by Absorption j As undue summer exposure usually leaves an undesirable surface of tan, dust or grease, often freckles, too, it is more sensible to remove such surface than to hide it with cosmetics. There's nothing better for this than ordinary mercolized wax, which actually absorbs an unwl olesome complexion. The thin layer of surface skin Is itself absorbed, gently, gradually," so there's no inconvenience, no detention indoors. Spread the wax lightly over the entire face at bedtime and take it off in the morning with warm water. If you will get one ounce of mercolized wax at the drugstore, use for a week or so, you may expect marked improvememnt daily. When the underlying skin is wholly in view your complexion will be a marvel of spotless purity and beautiful whiteness. Don't let those summer wrinkles worry you; worry breeds more wrinkles. Banish them by bathing the face in a solution of powdered saxolite, 1 bz., dissolved in Ya pt. witch hazel. Used daily for awhile this will be found wonderfully effective. tAdvartlsemenO '

As yet the aviators have been so ambitious with their machines, still necessarily so imperfect, that the real function of the flying machine has been lost behind the noise and blare of sensationalism. The reason for this has been, of course, that the whole game has been in the hands of individ-

uation is soon to make way for a more sensible control is prophesied by the founding of a school of aviation by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prof. Cecil H. Peabody, head of the department of naval architecture and marine engineering, will have charge of the course while the instruction will be given by Assistant Navil Constructor Jerome C. Hunsucker, U. S. N., who has been detailed for the service by Secretary Daniels. This will help remove aviation from the hands of mere adventurers and to establish it on a broad and useful basis. Until it is learned that flying is both a science and an art to be learned at the hands of cool and experienced instructors, aviation will not step forward into its rightful place. In furnishing the instruction the national officials show they believe this place will be of the highest importance.

Fourth of July Hints By W. E. LONGLEY, STATE FIRE MARSHAL. Be sure all yards and alleys are clean and free from rubbish. Keep stables, outhouses and packing rooms tightly closed. .Cellar windows, should be .fastened also. Wet down any area or roof where there is danger of fire. Be sure to observe all ordinances regulating the discharge of fireworks. Be careful of the small Chinese firecracker. It destroys more property than any other Fourth of July explosive. where Mr. Pollock has a position in the high school. Their many local friends are glad to extend congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Sherer, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hawley and Mrs. Alice F. Dowler went to Camden, Ohio, Thurs-1 day evening, where Mrs. Sherer inspected the Camden Rebekah lodge.

MARKET WEATHERS CLAFUMJISASTER Financial District Undisturbed by Serious Collapse of Big Mercantile House.

fey HENRY CLEWS NEW YORK, June 29 The shock of the Claflin disaster was well resisted by the stock market and caused much less disturbance in the financial district than might have been expected from so serious a collapse. What the Claflin failure will mean to the dry goods trade cannot yet be predicted. Unavoidaby It must cause much unsettlement and possibly some liauidation in the distributing branches of the dry goods trade. The failure was plainly attributed to over-expansion and to the difficulties of adjustment to changing business conditions. The H. B. Claflin Co. was a jobbing concern. For some years past the jobbing trade of New York has been steadily shrinking, owing to the tendency of the large retailers to buy direct. The difficulties of the concern were also seriously aggravated by the shifting currents of trade in this great city, and especially by the business depression. It is to be hoped that our-well-intentioned legislators will take a lesson from this failure, and realize that there are limits to what business can bear from sudden radical changes. Not a few of the new laws and regulations are desirable and even necessary, but they nave come with too much of a rush Largely owing to the fact that their effect has been to impair initiative and weaken confidence; thus precipitating incidents, such ashe Claflin disaster, which might otherwise have been averted. Business Retrenches. That there has been a general retrenchment in business is beyond a doubt. Iast week bank clearings were nearly 10 per cent less than a year ago; the decline being in the New England and Eastern states; and for the five months of the calendar year the decline has been over 8 per cent. Gross railroad earnings showed a loss of 11 per cent for the month of May, and 6 per cent for the first five months of the current year. The number of idle cars is still abnormally large. The present net surplus of cars is 232,000, compared with 64,000 a year ago. Building operations are on a much smaller scale than usual; and the stagnation of the steel trade is already unpleasantly familiar. There is good reason for believing that the stock market has pretty thoroughly discounted trade reaction. Security values have been declining with more or less regularity for more than eighteen months. A partial recovery has taken place, but stock market prices are still upon a low and relatively substantial basis. There is little or no inflation or over-expansion on the stock exchange. Need Rest. Among the most important events of the week were several Supreme Court decisions, the Inter-mountain decision being of chief significance. That decision while it clarified the situation as to the relations between the government and the railroads, and while the latter will now be free of state interference on interstate traffic, still the acknowledged constitu tionality of the government fixing the rate was anything but welcome to railroad managers. This is a power ' of portentous proportions. If wisely ; used and in a spirit of fairness to all interests, owners and shippers alike, it may be productive of much good and tend to conserve the stability of railroad investments. If, on the other hand, the power is used with prejudice to either side, the consequences may t be anything but desirable. j MASONIC CALENDAR Tuesday Richmond lodge No. 196, F. & A.

In order to keep the home neat and attractive, the children well dressed and tidy, women overdo. Soon a weakness or displacement is brought on and they suffer in silence, drifting along from bad to worse. For forty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has proved -a boon and a blessing to women in this condition, by restoring their systems to a normal healthy condition. Why don't you try it?

Attorney General Assails Dr. Kelly on Bible Study

Thomas M, Honan, attorney general, in a pungent statement given Sunday to an Indianapolis newspaper, replies to the observations of Dr. R. L. Kelly, president of Earlham college, who recently criticised the decision of the Btate officials on the study of the Bible in public schools. The text of the rebuttal Is appended: When I read the interview of Dr. R. L. Kelly I was surprised that the head of an educational institution and a man who until recently held the responsible position of membership on the state board of education, would make a statement which was full of so many false and inaccurate utterances con cerning an opinion I had rendered to the state superintendent of public instruction. My experience with the members of the state board of education has led me to regard them as men of splendid character, broad minded, and of the ntfratT thr thi ,in i anticipate that this opinion will in nnwlQA ha rftctnrhoH In mr oaQnftatlnna . A" A ' wun ine esiimaoie nr. urose oi DePauw university, who has just been appointed to succeed Dr. Kelly as a member of that important body. Assails Critics' Stand. I must, therefore, conclude that the learned gentleman did- not read my opinion at all, but took the word of some irresponsible person as to its contents, and I feel it to be plainly my duty to set the public right concerning an inaccurate and misleading statement that might be taken as true because uttered by a man intrusted with the presidency of a college. I did not say that the Bible could not be taught in the public schools.

On the other hand, I said the statute provided that the local board of education could introduce the same, subject to revision by the Btate board. I

oia not Bay mat a pupu couiu uui me t credit for work done in private schools. On the other hand. I said that such credit could be given if the worn was approved by the state board, and I : have said nothing that revolutionizes the public school system of Indiana. The subject matter related not to public schools generally, but to high schools. The studies of high schools are regulated by statute and not by personal desires. Text of Opinion. My opinion, written in reply to Mr. Greathouse's letter of inquiry follows: "I beg to say that in my opinion the state board of education has no authority to take the initiative in the selection of additional subjects to be taucht in hiKh schools, other than those required by law to be taught, j i k i,i s(hnni I Whom . ' boards provide for the teaching of subjects in addition to those prescrib ed by law, the state board of education has the power to revise such lists of additional subjects. "In my opinion this law does not give the state board of education au thority to require local school author-; ities to give credit to high school pu pils for work done in the study of the Bible, or in any other study, where ! such work is done outside of the public 1 schools, unless 6uch work is done in a j private school approved by the state board of education, which holds the same rank as a commissioned high school.
