Arguments Convincing 'J All these argument against, the Dyer bill seem strongly convincing. They (lo not come from Democrats alone. Among, the speeches inade against the bill in the house, three of the best were made by Republicans, who come from Maine. Pennsylvania and Nebraska, respectively. It is difficult to escape the feeling that the main purpose of the Republicans in initiating and pushing the Dyer blil was not so much cpneern for the negro in the southern states as

concern for the considerable negro

vote in some northern states that are

politically doubtful, such as Indiana

und Ohio.

The Republican organization is fol-

lowine a curious course about the

negro. Part of it is enlightened and

has the purpose of furthering a white

. Republican party in the south. By official party action they have gone far towards ending the old "colored" delegate scandal. Also this is the first Republican administration that has not been marked by the appointment of negro postmasters in communities where such appointments cause race feeling. At the same time they promote the Dyer bill, which Is aimed in the common judgment to placate the negro vote in the north. Aside from sectional feeling several opponents of the Dyer bill characterize it as an extreme invasion of .the federal government in a field where tuo state has

Return to their homes of a large number of the kidnapped Unionists has had a stimulating effect on public opinion in Ulster, but the situation on the border continues to be one of danger owing to the proximity of rival forces at some points. News of the arrangement for liaison commissions on each side of the

frontier also was received with satisfaction and the hope is widely expressed that they will become operative as quickly as possible. Apparently, however, considerable preliminary work Is necessary before the commissions can begin to function. Ulster's army of special constables on the border has elaborately equipped defences, including strategically stationed positions protected by barbed wire entanglements and sand bags, much like the defenses used In the World war. . They- also are supplied with plenty of fire arms. It Is believed that the Irish republican army Is equally well armed and stationed, and the readiness" of both sides is 'em-

WADItlAN CASE SENT BACK TO GRAND JURY Gill for Next Monday Issued by Judge Bond at Prosecutor's Request After Judge Springer's Ruling. ACCUSATIONlS FAULTY

The case of Carl Wadman, Wayne ' county sheriff, accused of carelessness " in office as a result ot the escape ot William H- Coleman from prison last November, has been referred back to the Wayne county grand jury. A call for the grand jury to convene next Monday was issued Friday morning by Judge W, A. Bond at the request ot the prosecuting attorney. The action of the court Friday morning followed a ruling by Special Judge Raymond Springer that the accusation filed in December by the grand jury at that time was "bad for duplicity," and should be divided into separate paragraphs. " The case will come before the grand jury Monday as a new case and all evidence will have to be presented again, according to a statement of

Prosecuting Attorney Beckett. Gist of Decision The gist of Judge Springer's decision which was announced Friday morning before attorneys for the state and defense, follows: "This accusation was filed in one paragraph only, and that paragraph alleged that the defendant as sheriff did voluntarily, carelessly and negligently permit William H. Coleman to escape. Permitting a criminal to escape while in the custody of an officer , of the law is a felony, rendering that officer liable to punishment by two to 14 years in the state prison. There

fore, that part of the accusation which alleges that he voluntarily permitted the prisoner to escape constitutes grounds for crime, which is one of the grounds on which an officer may be impeached. ' "The accusation also alleges carelessness, which is another ground for impeachment Therefore, two grounds for impeachment are mentioned in the same paragraph. By striking out the word which alleges carelessness, we still have good grounds for Impeachment; and by striking out that part which relates to a voluntary escape, we have grounds for impeachment on the other charge. Would Have Burden "If the accusation is allowed to stand as it is at present, the state would have the burden of proving the accusation as filed and two charges

i would have to be proved. : Both, the ! voluntary escape and the negligence

would have to be proved.

Now that peace is established the need for such extra help does not further exist. Therefore, to forward the spirit of economy and lighten the heavy burden of taxes, be it resolved; That Nulltown Grange of Fayette county, Indiana, ask our representative and senators to use their influence in removing thase salary-grabbers, seat-warmers and parasites from the payroll of the United States government." The grange also went on record as favoring the proposed amendment to the federal constitution prohibiting the issuance of tax-exempt securities. Only a .few families reside in Nulltown but it is a rich farming com

munity and has also producd three members of congress, the present representative from the sixth district, Mr. Elliott, a. former sixth district, Finly H. Gray, and George W. Steele, who served several terms as representative from the eleventh Indiana district.

The law gives both the state and
