Thinks the Law All Right.

Editor Republican:—ln the Jasper County Democrat of June Bth appears an item, entitled “A Blow to Mnncipal Ownership and Street Improvements,” in which is given complete Act, with exceptions, conveying the idea that the same is very unfair, supported by the argument that it will advance the wages of unskilled laborers employed by the State, Counties, Cities and Towns or by contractor, or other persons in charge of public work of the State, Counties, Cities and Towns. I seem to remember the cry all down the line that legislation has been for the rich and not for the poor people of our noble Country. Now, when our legislature passes An Act in favor of the laborer, a protest is filed by the County Organ of that Great Democratic Party which so ardently claims to be the poor man’s friend. There is not a law upon the pages of the State Books of the State of Indiana which comes so nearly conforming to Gods Eternal Law of Justice. Praises be to pur Legislators for passing such a law and to our patriotic and efficient Governor for issuing his proclamation putting said law into force on the 15th day of May 1901—God will bless the Grand State of Indiana under such legislation.- F. of L.
