The Law Creating 1t Imposes Duty, but Has
No Penalties for Noncompliance.

The Superintendent of Public instruction
has received many inquiries from county
superintendent and school trustees
throughout the State regarding the law
under which Becktold's way-back series of
readers and antique geography are to be
supplied to school children. These officers
want to know If the law is mandatory.
No doubt the men of the so-called Indiana
SchoOl-boOk Company, in order to earn
their share as jobbers of the s15OOOO net
profit Becktold says lie will make in In
diana this year, are busy circulating the
idea that the law must be Obeyed. At the
Office of the Superintendent of Public In
structiOn it is claimed that the law is man.
datory. But lawyer who has examined
it, and who, in any litigation arising out of
the matter, will be practically on the side
of the contractors, says the law imposes q
trustees. However" he continued, in
talking on this question to a reporter,
1T has nothing in it by which
those officers can be compelled
to perform that duty: 1t has no provision
for impeachment or fine on their failure to
obey the law. There is an act prescribing
a fine for the failure of a trustee to perform
general duties specified in that act, but
that penalty cannot be used in forcing him
to comply with the school book law

the schools might do it,"
THAT would then raise a question as to
the constitutionality of the acts,
Undoubtedly. 1t would open the way
to the Supreme Court
And if it is decided that the act is IN
constitutional, what thenW
THE contract goes with it, for if the law
fails the contract must necessarily fall"
An impression has gone abroad among the
trustees and superintendents that Beck
tOld's books can be given trial, and, if
they are not satisfactory. replaced by those
in use. That cannot be DONE 1T is thought
by those who have authority to speak.
Unless the law is broken. it is asserted the

PLEASED WITH THE OUTLOOK.
A Manufacturer Who Found indianapolis Just
the Place for His Extensive Business.

William Dugdale, of Baltimore. president
of the Dugdale Can Manufacturing Com
pany, of this place, was in the city last
night. The entire board is composed of
citizens of Baltimore, and Edward S. Reese,
local manager of the firms interests, is also
from that city. The factory, which has been
in operation since the 1st of last April, is
located at the Belt crossing on South
Meridian street. I'VE intend to make II"
said Mr.: Dugoale to a reporter, 1.-THE larg-
est establishment of its kind that mas ever
located in Indianapolis. We are backed
by $4,000 capital, all OF which Is paid In,
and to-day we are operating. $50 hands.
We have SO far sent out several millions of
cans, all of which have found q ready mar
ket in the West, for we do not ship any
goods east of this place whatever"
Why was Indianapolis chosen as the
site!"
For two reasons: First, because of the
natural gas; and second, because of her I'M
equaled railroad facilities. We have no
trouble whatever in getting connections to
all points in the West. and We were con-
WINGED that we could not do better else

do you expect to enlarge your factory
as the trade Increases
I'VE most certainly do. If the de-
mand for our wares increases In the future
as 1T has in the short time We have been
here, and have no doubt but that IL will,
this fall. We are making every prepare
ton for permanent settlement. All OF

doubt and in few years, think. they can

Baptist PulpftR.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
In Mondays issue, on page 5, under the
head Services in Hot Weather" there oc-
ours. in the first paragraph, the8tatement
Remission of sins by immersionis preached
from Baptist pulpits." Let me express
kindly dissent as to what was probably a
hot-weather slip of pen or pencil. Those
who bear the distinctive UNCONVENTIONAL
name of Baptists place remission of sins
before baptism, and regard that New Testa-
ment ordinance as confession of faith in
Christ. They hold to believers baptism as
alone fulfilling the divine command; and,
because of this. they were subject to perse-
cutiOn in early colonial days. Numbering
about 100000 members in the United
States, with nearly 33, 600 churches and up
wards of II 900 ministers, they are unit
on this article of faith. AS there are now,
among other names, many local churches
which practice, more or less, what Baptists
understand to be scriptural baptism. that
tenet of belief cannot be considered as the
distinguishing mark of regular Baptist
churches. But conspicuous among evan
gelical principles held by them is the dis
tinctive characteristic of a regenerate
church memberships regeneration by the
Holy Spirit independe dent of any rite or
formula. A. b. w.

SMOKERS IN AMERICA.
A Great Amount of Tobacco Consumed Every
Year-Large Trade in Cigars, Good and Bad.

b. l.. Heipe. who is connected with one
of the leading cigar firms in New York, was
at the Bates House last night, and. in con-
versation with reporter, gave some inter-
esting facts about American smokers. Il
have been in the business many years." he
said, land have taken an interest in OBJ
serving the use of tobacco in this
country as compared with that
in Europe. America is undoubtedly
the greatest cigar nation in the world. BY
that mean her people consume more cigars
than are smoked anywhere else. In Europe,
especially Germany, there is probably more
tobacco used, but it is smoked in a pipe.
There, as rule, a cigar is luxury for u
holiday of some sort, but here in America
the cigar is found in a. thousand places
where pipe is never used" r
DO you think smoking on the increase
in this cOuntryW Il
"Yes; there is no doubt in nv mind but
that it is. The wholesale trade is increas-
ing. and of course the retail is also. We
are sending out more cigars to-day to Amer
lean retailers than we have done before.
There was time when smoking was con-
sidered a luxury even in America, and that
time has not been very long ago either
But nowadays man can get a cigar at a
very reasonable rate, and this reduction in
price has tended to increase the demand l
refer now wholly TO the very cheap cigar
that which is so popular among hard work
ing men and the labOring classes generally
lis the tendency now to smoke better or
poorer cigarsY"
Il think better. Years ago a ten-cent
cigar was looked upon as matter of ex-
travagance, but time has altered this idea
somewhat. And the fact is, cigar that
sold for ten cents five years ago can be
made at profit now for half that amount
The domestic cigar is becoming more popu-
lar than foreign brands, and men
will continue to use them as long
as the world exists. / sometimes
am amazed at the amount of smoking done
in this country. just think of it some
times as you are walking down a business
street. 1t is safe to say that six out of ev-
cry ten men have cigars in their mouths
In their offices, factories, and even in their
homes, they are using cigars necessarily.
| Take this fact the country over and you
have an enormous amount of tobacco used
| in a single day. But it will not do for me
| to say too much on this subject; it is not a
| part of my business to induce men to stop
smoking, you know"

No Deal of the Kind Can Be Made.

According to correspondent of local
afternoon paper President Brush went to
Chicago to talk with Glasscock in regard
to an alleged deal that is mentioned by
which Indianapolis was to get Quinn and
$500 for the Hoosier short-stop. President
Brush went to Chicago for nothing of the
kind, and such statement is absurd. No
such deal has been considered, and will not
be. 1t has already been stated, and can he
stated again, that no amount Of money will
buy Glasscock and Denny. There is not
enough wealth back of the Boston club to
purchase the release of the famous short
stop. The local management cannot pre-
vent the publication of these foolish ru-
mOrs. but let it be understood. once for all,
that neither GlasscOck nor Denny will be
sold for any price
