RECALL FIGHT TO TAKE AWAY COURT HOUSE CenterviuVs Old Residents Tell Richmond People How County Seat Was Moved Away in 1872. REVIEW OLD HISTORY BY L. FRANCIS ROSS. CENTER VILLE, Ind., July 5. With the expiration of forty-two years the old feeling of antagonism between the eastern and western parts of Wayne , county over the location of the county seat, has not entirely been erased. This year Centerville is the scene of the county's Fourth of July celebration under the auspices of the National Old Trails Road association. Reminiscences of the historical fight waged here when citizens sought to retain the court documents and records were heard when pioneers gathered In groups. The interesting story of how Centerville gained the county seat from Salisbury, a town which Is out of memory now, only to lose her coveted prize to Richmond follows: Organized in 1811. Wayne county was organized Feb ruary 1, 1811, with Salisbury as its' county seat. By the legislative act of i December 21, 1916, it whs changed to j Centerville. The act was to be effective on and after June 1, 1817, and the I last meeting of the county commission-1 ers was held at Salisbury in August, 1817. While the change from Salisbury to Centerville caused no little dissension, it is not to be compared to the fifty-year struggle which followed between Centerville and Richmond. For more than half a century the location of the Wayne county seat was not only a question of local politics, but it even played an important part in state politics as well. The election of county officials, circuit judges, members of the legislature and even governors was affected by their preference for one town or the other. The struggle was the longest and most bitter county seat fight in the history of the state. The Richmond advocates succeeded in getting several acts passed by the legislature which furnished them a basis on which to fight for removal. While there were other counties interested in some of these acts, it was Wayne county which led the fight for their passage. These acts, six in number, are dated as follows: March 2, 1855; December 22, 1858; March 7, 1861; June 4, 1861; December 18, 1865 and February 24, 1869. Last Act Effective. The last act provided that whenever fifty per cent of the voters of the county petitioned the county commissioners to re-locate the county seat, provided suitable grounds and guaranteed the erection of the proper buildings, that the commissioners must relocate the county seat. On June 3, 1872, a petition was drawn up and signed by 4,837 voters to be presented to the board of commissioners. William A. Peelle filed a remonstrance on June 5, against such action, setting forth his reasons, and asking for a continuance of the case., A majority of the board refused to continue the case A. S. Wiggins and William Brooks op posing, and O. T. Jones favoring the action of Mr. Peelle. On June 11, by the same majority, the board decided that, as out of 6.842 legal voters of the county, fifty-five per cent had asked for the re-location of the county seat, it should be removed to Richmond. The board thereupon ordered that new county buildings should be erected at Richmond if the citizens favoring that site should, within three months after estimates were made, pay into the county treasury a sum equal to the value of the real property belonging to the county at Centerville. The petitioners immediately accepted the offer of the board. Governor Baker on October 30 appointed Asabel Stone, William Wallace and Simon Stansifer to appraise the real estate and Improvements belonging to the county in Centerville. They fixed the appraisement at $80,000 and on November 6, 1872, George W. Barnes on behalf of the petitioners for the re-location of the county seat, deposited with the board of commissioners the full amount of $80,000 in Richmond city bonds as security for the appraised value of the Centerville property. The board promptly accepted the deposit, although Mr. Jones objected. The auditor was then ordered to advertise for bids for the building of a new court house and jail. George Hoover was the architect and Thomas W. Roberts got the contract for both buildings with the low bid of $22,700.

By August 4, 1873, the buildings were completed and the commissioners ordered that all books, papers, furniture, and occupants of the county jail should be removed to Richmond August 15, 1873.

POISONOUS GASES OVERCOME SOLDIERS EDINBURGH, July 5. Many men from Flanders are in the hospital here recovering from gas. They give an account of a recent attempt by the Germans to wipe out a British force by liberating a huge poison gas cloud at night, when the only possible indication that the poison was adrift would be the collapse of sentries or the men in the trenches. The wind was steady and brought the death cloud over the British lines as swiftly as a man could travel. The first intimation came from sentries, choking as they fell. NATIONAL ROAD Continued From Page One economic and industrial evolution of the times. "Since these wagons passed here great events have occurred; mighty changes have taken place; new social, economic and industrial conditions have arisen to claim the attention of the people for solution; production has been revolutionized and concentrated in the great cities and industrial centers; our strength and stability as a nation has been established before the world; the bonds of the Union have been tested In the fires of civil war and have been found enduring. Masses Vindicated. "But the greatest of all, free institutions and self-government have been vindicated before the world, and the wisdom of the masses to deal with great problems of human affairs under all and varying conditions has been demonstrated by the final analysis and test of time. "While other governments have derived their powers from kings and royal rules, our government was founded upon the principle that all just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, from the people; that men are entitled to a voice in making the laws by which they are governed, and to representation in toposing taxes which they are to pay. "Under our form of government the people, all the people, the great body and mass of the people are the source of all power to be exercised. Under our form of government the people are the dominating and controlling factors in our institutions. Under our form of government the people are the primary authority for the enactment

of all laws. Under our form of government the people are the masters in all our public affairs. Legislatures, cours and public officials are but their menial servants to answer to their beck and call and to do their bidding. People Wield Power. "Under our form of government no legislative body can exist for the enactment of law, no court can sit for the interpretation or construction of law, no public official can act for the administration or enforcement of law, without being first authorized and empowered by the people. Such is the power, authority, supremacy and majesty of the people under our form of government. "But the history of nations and our own experience shows that the whole drift of government has ever been away from the people and towards the special few, that selfish interests are ever busy at work to encroach upon the power of the people and to monopolize such power in their own hands to gain control for profit, and that eternal vigilance is the price of free institutions and the right of self-gov-ernment. "Originally all power was vested in the people by natural right for their exercise by the direct vote, but in the organization of the government through the adoption of the constitution the people, for convenience and facility of action, surrendered and delegated a part of such powers vested in them over to legislative bodies, courts and administrative officials, to be so exercised Indirectly by them as the people's servants, agents and representatives, the people reserving to themselves what they believed was sufficient power, and which was at that time sufficient power, for their direction and control of public affairs. New Issues Arise. "But since the time of the organization of the government and the adoption of the national constitution, new social and industrial and economic conditions have arisen, among which are the combinations of capital, the concentration of wealth, and the organizations of special financial interests. "The corporation has become the rival of the government, an overshadowing power to influence and direct legislatures and dictate the administration of public affairs. "Under these new and changed industrial conditions the power which the people had reserved to themselves as sufficient to direct and control the administration of their government has been found insufficient and inadequate for that purpose. To meet this new and changed order of things and to resist the encroachment of corporations, the concentration of wealth, and the combinations of capital, the necessity of the people has come to be realized, not only to preserve the direct power origl (Suggestion for You to Adopt) WANTED Instruction In mechanical drawlas.

inally reserved to themselves but to recover back, a part of the power so surrendered and delegated to legislative bodies, courts and administrative officials for exercise by themselves through the direct vote and upon their own initiative, in order to preserve the power of the people to direct legislation and control public affairs. Necessity Realized. "The people have not only realized the necessity for the recovery to themselves of greater and more positive power for exercise by the direct vote and upon their own initiative, but they have already acted upon such necessity, entered upon the movement for such recovery and have taken the first and initial step to be followed by others until the equilibrium between the power of the people and the forces againet popular rule has been restored. Thus far has the wisdom of the masses been vindicated and their ability to preserve self-government assured. "One of the powers originally vested in the people but surrendered to the state legislatures on the adoption of the constitution was the power of the election of United States senators. "The indirect power reserved by the people was sufficient to hold that body responsive to popular will until the development of new and changed conditions, and the growth of corporate power, when the necessity of their recovery of that power back to themselves for exercise by the direct vote was realized and the amendment to the federal constitution providing for the direct election of United States senators was finally adopted in reeponse to popular demand. Shows New Trend. "That the people have not mistaken their remedy in resorting to the direct vote to meet these new and changed conditions and to recover to themselves the power to better direct legislation and control the administration of government is proven by the effect of the change from state legislatures to the direct vote in the election of United States senators. Even before this amendment providing lor the election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people instead of by legislatures had become effective, and in anticipation of such change alone, the United States senate took on a new and changed policy and suddenly become more progressive than the house of representatives." 1346 A Seasonable and Attractive Trio of Dress Accessories. 136 Suspenders, girdles and vestee for ladies.
