state Oaicers Steering Clear of All
Power to Appoint.

Power to Appoint.
Since the joint legislative Republican eau
Gus of Tuesday night ii has been suggested
that the selection of the various boards for
the control of the penal and benevolent in
stitutions of the State should be lodged with
an appointing board, TO be composed of the
Governor Secretary of State, Auditor of
State Treasurer of State and the Attorney
general. The first suggestion was that the
appointing power should be committed to
a board composed of the first three named
officers. The latter plan, it is claimed,
would have many advantages over the
former. Among Republicans the strongest
objection to this plan comes from the Off
Gals whom it is proposed to associate with
the Governor. All of these officers place
their objections on the ground that the Re-
publican party is committed to the theory
that the appointing power should be lodged
with the Governor, and they are unwilling
that the party should recede from the po-
sition it has taken. Back of this, however,
there is a reason that is of more per-
sonal character All of the Republicans
whom it is proposed to make q part of the
appointing power are good politicians, and
they know the danger quality of patronage
Mr.. Owen, especially, who mas been mem
Der of Congress from the Tenth congress
sional district, and who is credited with an
ambition to be the nominee of the party
for Governor two years hence, could tale
unfold about the cyclonic effect that the
distribution of postofices has upon a mans
political fences. The other Republican OFF,
Gals who are to be associated with Mr..
owen on this appointing board have an am
bition to succeed themselves.
Unless the membership upon these boards
is to be increased from three to four mem
bers, it will follow that the majority of the
members of the new boards will be Repub-
leans. If it should be decided that the
boards governing the State institutions are
to be reconstructed, there are bound to be
a great number of capable and deserving
Republicans throughout the State who will
desire recognition by appointment to some
of these boards. 1t will happen that there
will be a great many more candidates than
places, and for a friend conciliAted there
will probably be a half dozen aienated.
All these disappointed aspirants coming up
to the next State convention will have it
within their power to make it interesting
for the men who failed refused to rec
ogniZe their worth and talent by placing
them a prison or an insane hospital
board, and this is the thing that the Re-
publican State officials are seeking to es-
cape when they oppose the appointing board
scheme.

HOUSE PASSES BILLS.
RObinson's Fraudulent Marriage
Measure and Others--New Bills.

uuEFAusc
Measure and Others--Nev Bills.
The House mas got down to the business
of passing bills, sending several important
measures to the Senate yesterday after
noon One of these is the bill of Mr.. Rob-
inson, making it a felony for man to de-
sert or rnistreat, within two years, a wom-
an whom he has married to escape bastardy
or seduction proceedings. Another is that
of Mr.. Pettit's, which permits doctors to
organize insurance companies for protection
from malpractice suits, and incidentally
wipes out such organizations the Roby
Prze-fgh.ing Association. The first i'm
portant bit of insurance legislation was
passed, over the heads of the members of
the insurance committee, who sought to get
the bill recommitted. Mr.. Davis, of Vigo
county, is the father of 1t. If it becomes
a law, insurance companies that insert the
so per cent. consumers clause in their pol
icies will be blacklisted by the State Au-
ditor The discussion upon the measure
shows that there is a strong sentiment in
all parts of the State against the methods
of insurance companies.
Mr.. Stakebake's bill, enabling lodges and
churches TO elect trustees without giving
public notice, now required. was passed,
with only one vote recorded against it.
Bill No 66, giving county commissioners
jurisdiction over land on the border of a
town, where 1t is proposed to construct a
highway, was also passed. A bill to legal
ize sewer assessments in Lebanon went
through under a suspension of the rules
Another bill, legalizing the issue of Black
ford county courthouse bonds was equal
ly successful.
The session of the House opened in the
morning with reports from committees.
The bill prohibiting corporal punishment in
the public schools was stifled by the COM
mittee on education. The firemens pension
fund bill was recommended, with an amend
ment, by the committee on cities and
towns. while the committee on agriculture
reported favorably on bills preventing the
adulteraton of milk and regulating the sale
of agricultural implements.

filming fraudulent marriages and fixing q
punishment, q fea ture of the day.
The author explained that under the bill,
If man marries in good faith the woman
whom he has wronged. the law cannot
touch him. but If he nnarres to escape pun

lent one. The man is not put at a disad-
vantage, for 1t Is necessary to virtually
prove two cases against him under the bill.

or bastardy and the other that he has mis-

a genuine cure. There are many remedies
which give relief, but such relief Is only
temporary and the trouble soon returns IS
bad or worse than ever But the Pyramid
Pile Cure stands practically alone as a last

but the relief is there TO stay

In view of the proposed legislation we de-
sire to express our Endorsement of your
Tuesdays editorial on the building and loan
question. Some of the proposed bills should
be entitled "An act to ABOLISH etc. You
go to the heart of the question when you
say "to rush headlong into legislation upon
the representations of interested parties,
where the interests are so general and SO
large, and the consequences may be SO
grave, would be little less than a crime. -
This agitation has grown out of the fight
between the locals and the so-ealled ma
tionals," or State associations In the pro-
posed effort to hit the investors it should
be remembered that the borrowers are in a
sense investors, and the time of maturity
is of important interest to both.
