The Supreme Court OF Indiana OF
thursday of last week handed dowr
Its long-looked for decision upor
the legislative apportionment ac'
passed by the late unlamented leg,
stature. As generally expected l.,
lawyers Of all political shades. /,
decides the Act unconstitutional
But 1t does not stop there. Ii coin
cldes with the resolution Of the Re-
publicans in the last legislature. and
says the act Of 1893 was also I'M
constitutional, and upholds the
former Republican Supreme Court
IN Its decision that the 1891 appor-
tlonment was also unconstituti ,nal
Its reasoning also shows that if a
case brought the question before il
the act Of 1885 would also be held
unconstitutional. In fact there has
not been, according to the logic Of
the Supreme Court, and all parties
acknowledge it is sound .eason and
good law, a legal legislative appor-
tionment since that Of 1867.
The Court holds that under the
provisions Of the constitution re-
quiring the representation to be an
portIoned as 10 the number Of voters
enumerated in each county. no
county having less number Of
voters than entities it to a Represen-
ta;ive, should, by a formation Of
double districts, be given a vote IN
the choice of two Representatives
Under this construction, bv the law
Ct 1888, Dubois and Orange coun-
ties, neither Of which had the re-
qulsite number Of voters for single
representative, are given the choice
OF two Representatives each.
II the apportionment Of 1885
should be brought before the court
and held void, for the above reason
that OF 1879 having heretofore been
declared unconstitutional. the next
election would have TO be held IN
der the act Of 1867, the Legislature
Of 1913 having failed to pass anv an u

Loci TALENT IGNORED

With an accomplished artist
living here who was born and
brought up in Hawaii, and whose
ability as portrait painter is
generally recognized, it does not
seem right that the late Justice
McCully's portrait for the walls of
our principal courtroom should
have been given to foreign ar
fist to paint. 1t would appear
that the Judiciary Department
did not have the ordering OF
the portrait, or the local artist
would probably have been given
the commission. AS the work
is psid for out of the public
treasury, however, it ought TO
have been done by direction of
the department that pays for it.
Mr., Hitchcock with arms support
ed the Government when it was
assailed by sedition, his home is
here and he spends his money in
this country. Being an efficient
artist he ought to have a chance
when, on the rare occasions that
occur, the country pays for works
of art in his line. Criticism Of
this particular transaction is too
late now, it is true, but attention
is called to the matter with view
to preventing any similar prefer
ence of foreigners to people of
this country in the bestowal of
national patronage.

Interest never flags when
the goods and prices are right.
In May we passed all records in
merchandising Helping more
people to goods at less expense
than ever-that's the secretl
Great movements in merchan-
disc reduce expenses in all di-
rections, freights on carload
lots are less than by the piece,
buying at the factory means a
big saving to US. And you are
the gamers.
The Success Filter, as sold
by US, means good health to
you and money in your purse.
The money comes in this way:
We bought at the factory a
car load of the goods; every
thing was cheaper and we can
sell you a six-gallon filter for
$3.50.
The filter stone in a Success
filter is made of tripoli stone,
mined in Georgia, U. S. A.
1t is fitted in the upper cham
Der Of the filter and water pass
es through it, all impurities in
the water remaining on the
outside. 1t nay be cleaned in a
moment and will last for years
as it is six inches in thickness,
instead of one as in ordinary
stone filters.
The quality is the best and
$3.50 for a six gallon filter is
lower than you ever paid be-
fore.

cent CLEAN of the variegated

over the town, rustling the

their uncanny wings tanning
the whiskers of the "free and

What a pretty introduction
to a novel could be made out
of a Honolulu evening! The
picture is incomplete, how

your choice of many varieties

on the subject you want, you
may just as well have it in

lower for equal value elsewhere.
Don't bother any more with
that WORKOUT lamp, but treat
your household to a thing
Of beauty that will shed a
nightly glory over your do
nestle happiness and pleasures.
Some people may have tried
to convince you that the mon
archy of the oil stove has been

has eliminated in the Blue

If we have told any of you
that our stock was exhausted
and would not be replenished
