before hts 204 august judges, and main

the Emperor issued an order In which
the refOrmer was called "a fool anC
blasphemer," and placed under the bar
Of the empire. After this event he re
mained In seclusi0n whole year fol
fear Of violence at the hands of his enc
mics, and during that time translated
the New Testament into German. Ii
1923 he returned to Wittenberg, wher.
his undaunted energy carried all before
1t, and the reformation became an es
tablished fact.
In 1925 he was married to an escaped
nun, with whom lie we'd happily until
bis death In 1916. His antagonism ia
the Church of Rome WAS 30 great, ths,
shortly before his death he said to his
friends: II was the plague OF popery In
my life, and shall continue to be 30 in
my death" He WAS the author of
one of the greatest and most interesting z
revolutions recorded in history, and It
is probable there never was another
person In the world whose character
has been drawn In such opposite cOlors.
In his age, one party, struck with
horror and inhamed with rage when
they saw with what q daring hand he
overturned everything which they held
to be sacred, imputed to him all the
vices and qualities of a demon. The
other, filled with admiration and graft
tude tu him ~ the restorer of light and
liberty to the Christian church, ascribed
to him perfections above the condition
of humanity, and viewed all his
actions with veneration bordering on
worship.
The anniversary of his birth will be
observed In an appropriate manner At
Hanover Presbyterian church to-mor-
row morning, when the choir of the
Lutheran church will sing several
pi ces in German. In the evening. the
school Of the Lutheran church
will celebrate the event In their own

Il v. Mr.. Wuisehan will preach in the
Lutheran church, where the celebration
will be continued until Monday, the

for the purpose of protecting them from
error, clerical or otherwise. The Iowa court
also say there is nothing in the constitution
which demands hat amendments shall be
by joint resolution. That is true; but, as
the Journal said some time since, when the
fact is that there never was an amendment
proposed in any Legislature of any State in
the Union, or in the Congress of the United
States, except in the form of a joint resolu-
ton. 1t is the universal custom, and will con-
tinue to be, Supreme Courts to the contrary.
The mode of proposing amendments to the
constitution is left optional with the Legisla-
ture; but when the election of a mode has
been made, that mode is to be regulated by
all the constitutional and statutory require
ments concerning it. The constitution and
the statutes provide just what shall be done
with joint resolutions; how they shall be en-
rolled, signed by the presiding officers, de-
posted with the Secretary of State, published
with the laws, and so forth. These require
ments have been complied with in the case of
the joint resolutions proposing the pending
amendments, and they are precisely in the
attitude of all other joint resolutions. By
constitution and statute they are on an
equality with bills, and as the Supreme
Court has decided that the enrolled and at
tested copy of a bill is the best and incon-
fo,t,lIo -.l o.z -E H. - f..
the same rule must be followed with respect
to a joint resolution.
Upon the only question involved in Indi-
ana-that of the entry upon the Journals
OF the full text of am~endments-the decis-
ions OF courts are contrary. 1t is safe to say
that as many are upon one side as upon the
other. The Iowa decision is not binding
upon anybody outside of Iowa. 1t is worth
only so much as its reasoning and sound law
may warrant. We think it plain that, by its
own terms, it can have no applicability here,
in view of the legislative and executive con-
struction uniformly given to the disputed
provision in this State, except to strengthen
the opinion OF those who believe in the va
lidity of the amendments. We do not be-
lieve our Supreme Court would invalidate all
the amendments now in the constitution
simply to set up a new rule of construction,
discovered and formulated by party man.
ayers for party purposes in the hope of avoid
ing direct action upon a question in the
solution of which there is danger of offense
to diverse elements, both of which the De-
mocracy hope to retain by a continuance of
dishonest double dealing.

No criticism can be made OF the Governors
action, for he is simply complying with the
law as passed by a former Legislature.
Neither can it be objected that his appoint
ments are all Republicans, for the
Democratic Legislature plainly pro-
of things in order to appoint
a board composed wholly of Democrats.
Nor can fault be found with the men
named in point of qualification. General
John Coburn, named as president of the
boards, is too we'll known here and elsewhere
to require Endorsement. His fitness for the
place must pass unchallenged. DIR. George
W. Bdrk, of New Castle, stands high in the
community where he lives, and he enjoys the
esteem and confidence ofall who know him.
Judge James II. Jordan. of Martinsville, is a
member of the State central committee, is a
fine lawyer and a good man. The Hon. J. H.
Rerick, of Lagrange county, is one of the
Oldest editors in the State, land has every
needed qualification. Taken together and
individually, the nominations are unexcep-
tionable, and in honor should be
promptly confirmed. The law gives the
Governor the appointing power, subject to
confirmation by the Senate. The law, con-
sistency and political honor combine
to compel a confirmation without
bubble or evasion. Yet, in face of this.
the Democratic caucus has declared in favor
OF a reorganization of the boards, to accom-
plish which, and at the same time keep
the PLACES in Democratic hands, it
has been found necessary to
tear out one law from the statute books and
substitute another conceived in partisan sell
fishness and intended solely TO conserve
party ends. If the old law is wrong it is the
fault of a Democratic Legislature. To
change it now is but to confess that the DEM
ocratic party has lost all sense of
shame. Not only are the benevolent in
situations turned into merchandise to
subsidize Democratic workers, but even the
law is made a shuttlecock to be knocked
back and forth at the pleasure of each sue
ceeding Legislature and upon the most
shameless pretexts, To-day's action by the
Senate will determine the Democratic idea
of political honor. The law will be com
piled with, or it will be dlshonored by the
party that made it.

Mr.. HEFFREN may find hat the people {
Indiana will know what to do about it,
DEMOCRACY VS.. DEMOCRACY.

Indiana Democracy, consistent in its in
consistency, through its representatives in
the Legislature has decided to reorganize the
boards of trustees of the State benevolent in
stitutions, and to do this it will be necessary
to repeal the existing law, and to take the
power of appointing members from the
hands of the Governor and confer it upon
the two houses of the Legislature. The law
as it now stands is the work of a Demo-
cratic Legislature. 1t was framed in the
interest of the Democratic party at q
time when the State had a Democratic
Governor. 1t was exactly in accord with DEM
ocratic views at the time it was passed, and
would be now, but for the fact that a Repub-
lican Governor stands i'll the way of q lot of
hungry Democratic ~place-hunters. The
movement to transfer this power from the
Governor to the Legislature is not in the in
terest of the institutions, nor do the advo-
Gates of the change stultify themselves by
making any such pretense. 1t is a
mean, faction fight to make it possible to
favor Democratic strikers at the expense of
the States most vital interests in this direc-
ton. The move is thoroughly Democratic
from beginning to end; it could origi-
nate nowhere else. No law, no
precedent, it seems, no matter whence
it may come, will be allowed to keep Demo-
cratic political wire-pullers from the public
crib. The welfare of these vast institutions is
wholly at the caprice of the Democratic
party; their interests must be made to sub
serve the meanest party ends. These high
and honorable offices are to be paid over the
legislative counter as the price OF work for
the party. The shamelessness of
such a partisan proceeding seems
never to nave occurred to Democratic
managers. They make the campaign ring with
professions of fealty to the States best inter
ests, but no sooner enter the halls of legisla-
ton than they proceed to traffic in matters
that should be far removed from mere parti-
san ends. The platform pledges are
as brittle and false as can be
ueNlSeU. Ii HOt ambiguous ana
capable of a double Interpretation,
as the exigencies of party needs demand,
they are as freely ignored as though they
had never been framed. There is reform
and reform. The Democratic article OF re-
form is made solely in the interest of the
Democratic party. 1t is too narrow to take
in anything else. In dealing with Federal
affairs they are all trimmed to fit snugly
inside the party lines. The same
is true down to the smallest
office hat even a Democratic
striker will accept. The law governing the
benevolent institutions of Indiana-con-
ceived and adopted by a Democratic Legisla-
ture-now stands in the way of another DEM
ocratic Legislature, With Democratic disre-
gard Of all honor and precedent this law
seems about to be wiped out. Tn Democratic
caucus has so ordered, and a strong effort will
be made to carry out this petty partisan
scheme.
To-Day the Senate will consider the APP
p%ointments submitted BY Governor Porter.

The Chicago Times thinks Cullom in
David Davis's seat as senator will be ns one
small seed in a mammoth gourd. Physically
speaking, this exaggerated remark would
pass as an acceptable bit Of pleasantly. But
the Times evidently means to compare the
two men mentally and as legislators. Itwould
be interesting in this connection for the
Times, or any other authority, to cite Just
one effective measure in national legislation
that can be credited to Mr.. Davis. So far as
the record shows. the personal influence of
Senator Davis has been zero. He has
come and gone, drawn his salary
and mileage, been the subject of
innumerable newspaper squibs, and that
Is ALL. He has left his impress on nothing
save the seat he sat in. On the other hand,

The News is greatly exercised over the
statement made by Mr.. DePauw that he ''al-
ways has paid, in all departments, the asso-
citation prices, which are the highest in
America" The point the News insists on
making is that "the protected manufacturer
does not, out of the overflow of his profits
and ~fullness OF his heart, pay extra wages to
the working men, but that he pays the price
fixed by the market" How are prices
fixed in any line of business but
by the market? Does a profitable
newspaper pay higher wages to its type
settlers than one that is not so prosperous?
Or does the market fix the price? But we
apprehend that the News would make the
point that the tariff enables manufacturers
to form such associations by which they can
control wages. To controvert this argu-
ment it is necessary only to point
to the fact that similar associations
are formed by laborers themselves, and, as
the working man. 1t is only by means of the
tariff that manufacturer OF fine glass in
America can pay any wages at all. Let
French and Belgian plate-glass come in free
of duty, and Mr.. DePauw and the ~associa-
ton OF which he speaks would not be able to
pay more than half what they do, if they
were not obliged to close up their establish
ments. Associations, formally organized, or
otherwise, are found in every branch
of business, whether protected by
tariff or not, and the mechanic and working
nan meet such by similar organizations of
their own. In the end the market determines
the wages that can be paid, and the tariff
only operates to make it possible to carry on
such manufacture as could not stand up
against foreign competition. The duty on
plate glass has made it possible for Americans
to manufacture it. Take off the tariff and
the business will be confined TO France and
Belgium, just as it was before the import
duty was laid. The question resolves itself
into this proposition: Shall fair wages be
paid under protection, or no wages under
free trade1

THE development OF an organized con-
spiracy at Dublin for the encouragement of
assassination and murder will do very much
to weaken sympathy for Ireland in her eff
forts to obtain justice. This is no way to
remedy existing evils, and every murder
and every unnatural outrage only ~postpones
the day when that unhappy people shall be
accorded her liberties so far as compatible
with the interests of the government. The
whole world sympathizes with Ireland in
her unfortunate condition, and it
is to this sentiment that the irish people
must look for strength. The army and navy
of England-well nigh invincible in war
cannot stand up against the moral sentiment
of the world. The desperate men and
women who are the authors of the bloody
primes so frequent in Ireland are her worst
enemies, and the sooner they are made to
feel it, by the condemnation of the law
abiding element around them, the sooner will
the day of deliverance come.
