An inspection of the twenty-third annual
report Of the State Board OF Agriculture,
which is now issued, shows that the Board
is a living power in the public interest. and
that they are on the high road of progress
sive thought. The report itself is not alto
gether satisfactory, out its deficiencies are
compensated by the statements TO that effect,
and suggestions which prove that the proper
standard isin sight. II was not possible for
the secretary, Mr.. Alexander Heron, to pre-
prepare such q report as Indiana wants fer
two reasons. He was limited inthe amount
SLOWED to be expended, and what was
OF more importance, the facts
and figures, which ought to appear in the
agricultural report, or many OF them, could
not be obtained at any cost. Legislation
must be had providing. for statistical work

Heron. by the supervisors ofroads in their
several districts. As the work is now done,
all the crop and agricultural statistics of the
state as taken, and it may be added. very
loosely taken, by township assessors. are
not compiled and brought into shape for
any practical use until they are too old to
be of much immediate value. On the table.
by the side OF this report, lie Two large
reports by the agricultural societies of
Massachusetts, and Ohio. In both of these
volumes, but especially the latter, great
mass of matter is bound up, valuable. 1t is
true, but not properly in the line of official
report to be made at public expense. Essays
and papers drawn from various sources on
both sides of the water, some new ans some
old, may be very good, but their place Is
elsewhere than In state reports What Is
wanted In the agricultural reports OF Indi-
ana, are facts and figures exhibiting the
products and condition of the farm inter-
ests Of the commonwealth, and the doings OF
state and county societies. But to procure

Some valuable and interesting facts are
brought to light by the recent report of the
Massachusetts Board Of Health, i'm relation
to the farming population Of that stale. or
the nationality of the farmers the percentage
is 81 5 American, showing the hereditary
inclination of the Yankee to follow an agri-
cultural life. 1t will also be a mat
ter of surprise to most people
that according to the census Of 1870 the
"value of farm products is greater, both per
farm and per acre, in Massachusetts, than
in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois,
Michigan or Minnesota. This faol is ex-
planned satisfactorily by the proximity Of
that state to the best markets. AS to lon
of the gods, the average age being
65.l3 years or l4.l9 years more than the
average OF all the professions. From lin
tied number of answers of correspo ndents
ii Is found that the greatest causes tending
to iDiure the health of farmers and their
families are. "overwork," exposure, |" sim
proper Diet sanitary Defects want OF
ventilation "overwork among women"
etc. All those might be justly included
under the one deficiency, mot knowing
how to live" AS to the farmers
wives and children the report shows that
they are not SO well off as the lords them
selves, and this to the former class seems to
come almost wholly from 'over-work at the
worst seasons. In brief. the report shows
that the farmer is his own worst enemy,
Which perhaps might be said OF all men in
those things which pertain to health and
material prosperity. -"

cisiOu Of the Court of Common Pleas

positive evidence is required to estab-
lish a breach of law in this than in
any other case of crime. Judge ALI

pose that, though you may hang man

not coRvictz him of the offense, men
toned in the act (the liquor law re-
ferred to. ..s~ ass
1t was added by another Judge, that
lit is not necessary to drink the liquor
to PROVE that it is liquor, under the
circumstances of tavern, etc, 1.-THE
PRESUMPTION is that it is liquor
Thus the most objectionable part OF
the method sometimes resorted to for
the conviction Of dealers, is shown to
be uneaHed for. The Judges also re-
marked upon the responsibility of all
citizens TO aid the officers Of the law

their testimony in known instances Of
their violation: We believe that these

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Liquor Question In Clark Coun-
~. Indiana How Rnd by Whom
suit Must be Brought.

Sutt Must DC Brought.
From the New Albany Ledger Standard.
= Some time ago, Martin Deutch.
mann, a retail liquor dealer, of
Charleston, Ind, was indicted and
fined under the law of 1873, for
selling liquor to an habitual drunk
ard. The law, in addition to the
penalty of a fine, authorizes the
Court, upon conviction, to adjudge
a forfeiture of the offenders license.
In the case referred to, the Court
did not adjudge forfeiture of
Deutchman's license, but contented
itself by the imposition of a fine,
which was passed At the present
term of the Clark Circuit Court, a
suit was brought by the State of
Indiana, on the relation of Dillon
Bridges against Martin Deutch-
mann, in Which the Court is asked
to declare the license forfeited, by
reason of Deautchmann's conviction
of a violation of the law above re-
ferred to. Demurers were filed to
the complaint and it was urged
that the court trying the case, hav-
ing failed to adjudge a forfeiture of
the license as part of the penalty,
that the whole matter of the offense
had been already determined, and
that the present Court was ousted
of all jurisdiction. II was also
commended that Dillon Bridges
could not become q "Relator' in
such a suit. In his opinion upon
the demurrers, Judge Bicknen
holds as follows: It appears that
Martin Deutchmann, having the
franchise and privilege of selling
intoxicating liquors, and entitled
to be protected and upheld by the
State in the lawful exercise of that
franchise and privilege, has been
convicted of violating the Temper
ance Act of 1873, by unlawfully
selling intoxicating liquors to an
habitual drunkard. 2v E''ls II
The Act of 1918 provides that,
upon violation thereof, the fran
chise shall be forfeited, and the
Criminal Court, before which Mr.,
Deutchmann was convicted, had
power to add to its sentence ju-i
dicial declaration of such forfeiture
[see section Z but that failure Of
the Criminal Court to declare the
forfeiture does not Gust the juris
diction of this court ESec 5.
Franchises can he forfeited only
by judicial action, and the appeal
to the court for such action is by
information. But in subsequent
part of the opinion the demurrer is
sustained; because the court holds
that the Information should have
been filed In the name of the State
of Indiana, on the relation of the
prosecuting attorney, and not on
that of Dillon Bridges. and in con
clusion the learned Judge says:
81 am satisfied that the action can
not be sustained by a private
person who shows nothing more
than q public interest. and I there
fore sustain the demurrer. But as
this matter is now brought before
me officially. my public duty will
require me, under section $50 of
the practice act, to direct the pros
ecuting attorney to file q proper
information. Since the above
ruling af Judge Bicknell, an infor
nation has been fled against
Deutchinann on the relation of
Robert J. Shaw, prosecuting at
torney, and the whole thing has q
bad outlook for the defendants
future prospect as vender of Ii
quors in Clark county.
