Catered at tbo itut omcc at Richaooud. Indiana, as 8e - oad Class Mali Matter. Legislation in Indiana. This session of the General Assembly it one of the most important in many decades. Legislation of the most vital nature is to be acted upon by the legislators. Final disposition of these important matters, under present conditions, rests with the senate. The complexion and the attitude of the house is such that it will rush through the administration and other big bills and leave the final decision with the senate. An indication of this willingness to advance progressive legislation and hurry it over to the upper branch is apparent from the manner in which the prohibition bill was advanced to third reading and the dispatch with which the bill calling for a constitutional convention was passed with little opposition. Seemingly both the Democratic minority leaders and the Republican leaders of the house are acting in harmony in this respect. , Perhaps the most vital bill now pending in the senate is the house bill asking for the calling of a constitutional convention. Here is a question thit, has to do with the basic law of the state. Tho calling of the convention means the making of a new organic law bythe people of Indiana. Progressive ' thought has advanced so far in

Indiana that it is safe to predict that the new

principles of state, county and city government

will be included in the new constitution. Repre

sentative Cravens, the Democratic leader, who spoke in behalf of the house bill when it was up

for passage voiced the attitude of the people of Indiana when he declared that he believed the makers of the statutory laws ought to pass a measure that would give the people a chance to make an organic law that would measure up to the new ideas of government. The senate now has this measure. ,The people of Indiana must bring pressure to bear on their senators to force them to pass the bill. Governor Goodrich will sign the measure when it is presented to him. Richmond is vitally interested in the measure, A constitutional convention will permit the introduction of a section giving cities the right to adopt the city manager form of government if they desire it. '

dry legislation, for the bill prohibiting the sale of intoxicants on railroad trains went through without enough dissenting votes to make its passage interesting. The same observation holds true of the manner in which it killed wet amendments to the state wide prohibition bill. The drys need not fear, the house, but action in the senate is problematical, and here it is that the drys will be forced to make their hardest fight. The session is too young to enable observers to predict what the strength pro and con is.

v The Municipal Light Plant The report of Superintendent Kleinknecht indicates that the municipal light plant has been a profitable investment for the city in the last

I twelve months. The managerial ability of Mr.

Kleinknecht, however, received no recompense when his request for an increase in salary was

considered. Perhaps the city council is obsessed

of the idea that the glory of making a good showing is reward enough for the superintendent. A corporation, however, believes that an executive's pay is to be gauged by results. Glory without reward is a poor method of encouraging an employe. Cleaning Up the City and County Prosecuting Attorney Frank Strayer is cleaning up the city and county. He is acting on the theory that laws are written to be enforced and not to be evaded. It is a healthy indication that both Judge Henry C. Fox of the circuit court, and Mayor Will Robbins of the city court are backing the prosecutor. Violators of the law are bemg fined and sent to prison. Law enforcement is essentially necessary for the welfare of the community and the authorities who are cooperating with the prosecutor are to be commended.

Prohibition Legislation - The lower house of the General Assembly showed conclusively the other day that it favors

Jessup and the Three-ile Road Law It certainly would have been a strange reversal if Wilfred Jessup had opposed the repeal of the three-mile road law when he spoke at the public hearing held by the house committee which has the Mason bill under consideration. By his own' admission before the committee Jessup has handled petitions for almost every road in Wayne county built under the provisions of this law. Indianapolis newspapers in reporting the public hearing said that a section of the big lobby which is opposing the repeal of the law made a vigorous attack on the measure. If an at

torney can handle almost all the petitions and the litigation attending the operation of the law in one county, it is natural and logical for him to oppose a bill that will wipe out part of his income. It doesn't take a microscope to discern that point.

Senora de Mocho 414 not lose her self-possession for an Instant. 'We received the same message. When you called. I thought It would be best tor Alfonso to go alone, so I telephoned and caught him at the garage, and when my train arrived here, be was waiting." ' "None of you have seen Whitney here?" asked Kennedy, to which all nodded In the negative- "Well, you seem to agree pretty well In your sto rles, anyhow. Let me take a chance with the servants." It is, no easy matter to go into another's household and without any official portion quiz and expect to get the truth out of the servants. But Kennedy's very wrath seemed to 8we them. They answered in spite of themselves. . It seemed clear that as far as they went both guests and servants were telling the truth. Whitney had made the run up . from the city earlier In the afternoon, bad stayed only a short time, then had gone back, leaving word that he would be there again before his guests arrived. They all professed to be as mystified as ourselves now over the outcome of the whole affair. He had not come back and there had been no word from him. "One thins is certain." remarked Craig, watching the faces before him as he spoke. "Inez Is gone. She has been spirited away without even leaving a trace. Her maid Juanita told me that. Now if Whitney is gone too. it looks as if he had planned to double-cross the whole crowd of you and leave you safely marooned up here with nothing left, but your common hatred, of me. Much good may it do- you." Lockwood clenched his fists savagely, not at Kennedy but at the thought that Craig had suggested. His face set itself in tense lines as he swore vecgeance on all jointly and severally if any harm came to Inez. I almost forgot my suspicions of him in admiration. "Nothing like this would ever have happened if she had stayed in Peru" exclaimed Alfonso .bitterly. "Oh, why did her father ever bring her here to this land of danger?" The idea seemed novel to me to look on America as a lawless, uncul

tured country until I reflected on the usual Latin-American opinion of us

as barbarians. Lockwood frowned but said nothing for a time. Then 'he turned suddenly to the Senora, "You were intimate enough with him," he said. "Did he tell you any more than he told us?" It was clear that Lockwood felt now that every man's hand was against him. I thought I could discover a suppressed gleam of satisfaction in her. wonderful eyes as she answered;' "Nothing more. It was only that I carried out what he asked me." Could it be that 6he was taking a subtle delight in the turn "of events

the working out of a' curse on the treasure-secret which the fatal dagger bore? I could not say. But It would' not have needed much superstition to convince any one that the curse on the Gold of the Gods was as genuine as any that had ever been uttered, as it -heaped up crime after crime. We waited in silence, the more hopeless as the singing of the night insects italicized our isolation from the organized instruments of man for the righting of wrong. Here we were, each suspecting the other, in the home of a man whom all mistrusted. "There's no use sitting here doing nothing," exclaimed Lockwood in whose mind was evidently the tame thought, "not so long as we have the telephone and the automobiles." These, at least, were our last bonds with the great world that had wrapped a dark night about a darker says, tery. "There are v many miles of wiremany miles of road Which way shall we turn?" Senora de Moche seemed to take a fiendish delight in the words as she said them.' It was as though the challenged our helplessness In the face of a power that was greater than us all. - ' Lockwood flashed a look cf suspicion in her direction. As for myself, I had never been able to make the woman out. Tonight she seemed like a sort of "dea ex machina," who sat apart, playing on the passions of a group of puppet men whom she set against each other until all should be involved in a common ruin. It was impossible, In the silence of this far-off lonely place in the country not to feel the weirdness of it all. Once I closed my eyes and was startled by the uncanny vividness of a mind-picture that came unbidden. It was of a scrap of paper on which, in rough capitals was printed: "BEWARE THE CURSE OF MANSICHE ON THE GOLD OF THE GODS." To be continued

Doctors Say Colds

Must Be Prevented

Infections of the nose, ear and throat often requiring costly and dangerous operations under the knife, may result from ordinary "cold in the head." These can in most cases be prevented by. use of Zonite diluted in water and used as a spray, although, if through neglect the ear has become infected consult an ear specialist at once. The American Medical Association at its Detroit convention seriously considered dangers of neglectin? simple precautions. Doctor Hill Hastings of Los Angeles declared ninety out of every hundred cases of mastoiditis (a disease most frequently fatal) result from ordinary colds and sore throats. Other grave maladies are caused in the same way. The nostrils should be kept clean by the use of Zonite. this preventing infection by germ-laden air. Zonite while non-poisonous and perfectly harmless, is the ideal germ destroyer, antiseptic, disinfectant and deodorant. At all drug stores. Home size "5c and 50c. Doctors and Hospital size $1.50. Ask your doctor. He knows that Zonite is the enemy of germs and disease. Adv.
