The farmers in various parts of the state, who have been objecting to the construction of small roads, have attacked the law as unconstitutional on the ground that an entire township is taxed to build a road of this kind, whereas such road benefits but comparatively few persons.

Several weeks ago young Kirby forged a check on his brother, William Kirby of near Ladoga, for $15, and taking the money he eloped to Indianapolis with Ruth Algood, a Roachdale girl of good family. On their return to Ladoga a week later Kirby was arrested just as he stepped from the train. He confessed the forgery and later admitted that he had not been married. He was released under suspended sentence. He also agreed not to pay any more attention to the girl. He failed to keep his promise, and last Monday the two elaped to Danville, Ills., and were married. Thursday they returned to Roachdale and Friday the

3-MILE ROAD LAW
Is Held Constitutional by a Circuit lodge Of Interest Here Where Several Such Roads Have Been Oroer-
ed.
A decision which has been awaited by County Commissioners and farmers in all parts of the state for several months was made public Friday by Judge Leffler, of the Delaware Circuit Court, when he declared to lie valid the statute commonly known as the ‘‘three-mile road law,’’ passed by the last legislature.
Brazil's prospects for getting a government building in the near future are very blue. A special from Washington says that the sub-com-mittee on appropriations has appor-
arrested ^ tione d out the “pork” to the various The girl’s par- In(iiana Congressmen and that all
that Congressman Holliday will receive is an appropriation for a building at Greencastle. The site for the new postoffiee building at Greeneastle has already been purchased and it only remains to secure the appropriation for the building and Greencastle will have its new postoffiee. When shown this special from Washington by a representative of the Democrat this morning, J. G. Bryson said that he would telegraph Congressman Holliday immediately that under no circumstances must the appropriation for Brazil be left
out of the bill.
If Congressman Holliday is unable to get two appropriations it is believed that he can get the appropriation for Brazil by postponing the appropriation for Greencastle's building for two years. The Greencastle postoffiee is a small and unimportant one and they have no more need for
Finding the door of the jail dungeon unlocked, five drunks who had been placed in the dungeon at the county jail to sober up Saturday night walked out. Three of the men were re-arrested after they had gone back to the square, but two of them
got away.
A misunderstanding between Sheri Maze, Officer Arthur Stone and Officer John Grimes, was the cause j of the door being unlocked. All the officers were at the jail at the time the last man was put in the dungeon and each officer believed the other had locked the door. Sheriff Maze came up town after the last man was put In. When he returned to the jail at 10:00 o’clock the five men were gone. He notified the officers and three of the escaped men were quickly gathered up. Two of the escaped men, railroad telegraphers from Delmar, could not he found. The Sheriff has a watch and some money belonging to one of these men, however, and It is probable that they too will return.
The law provides that the county :

That Gentry Brothers' dog and pony show is capable of attracting a good crowd was well illustrated today. In spite of gray skies and occasional gusts of rain, Greencastle and a goodly number from the country were upon the streets at 10:JO when the parade was scheduled to take place. It appeared exactly on tkno. and while iiardlv a mile long, as advertised, was a good parade and well worth seeing. All the equipment is new, from costumes to flags and painted wagons, all glistens. The show is just starting and does not yet show the result of travel and weather. The lorfg lines of pony-drawn wagons and cages appealed to the little folks and there were not lacking older sisters who declared that some of the ponies that pass. il were “perfectly dear,” and “awful cute,” expressions which we understand are not barred, even In university circles on circus day. The wagons loaded w ith dogs were especially interesting and attractive, and the heart of many a youngster ached to own one of the haughty looking canines that rode so proudly and disdainfiflly upon the gilded barges. One three year old tot was heard to exclaim to her grandfather, while tears stood in her eyes, “I just need one of those ponies, I haven’t any at all.” Altogether the parade was a success and presaged a good showat the west side grounds in the afternoon and evening.

“Our Senate, a senseless, unnecessary check, has grown to be a fraud,” said Dr. Andrew Stephenson, head of the department of history in DePauw University jester, in lecturing to his class of advanced students of United States Constitutional History. “Senators should he elected by the people, as under that system we would do away with all' the graft. I believe the time will come when the people will awaken to the fact and demand election of members to the Upper House on a new basis,” continued the professor. “In the Southern States,” said the doctor, “the senators are Indirectly named by the people, who definitely instruct their state legislators on their choice. Under the system in vogue here we allow graft and dishonesty. The only way to clean up the horrid condition of affairs will be to elect the senators by a direct vote of the people,” declared Dr. Stephenson. “The Senate, in the first place,” added the professor, “was intended to represent the sovereignty of the states, and as the change in constltu'lonal interpretation has shown t that it does not we should carry out i the now deomcratic ideas in naming the members by a direct vote.” Dr. Stephenson is regarded as an authority on constitutional interpreation, having given the field diligent study. He is at present taking his students in the historical seminarium and in the class on United States constitutional history through a most instructive course, and his comments are creating considerable
talk.
