To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
1t is time that the people OF Indiana were
looking after their interests in the Legis-
lature. There is some proposed legislation
now before the General Assembly that is
wrong, even bordering on malicious. This
is particularly true of some of the proposed
school legislation. That the State should
make a contract so plain as that with the
graduates of the State Normal School and
then, without any good and sufficient rea-
son, cancel that contract is certainly very
unbecoming in a State that lays any claim
to fair dealing. 1t seems that Indiana is
determined TO keep her teachers on a par
with saloon keepers in the matter of OBJ
tanning permission to teach. So long as
teachers are compelled to keep rubbing
up for examinations teaching Will simply
be a business as the liquor trade. So long
as teachers are kept reviewing for exam
nations they will scarcely get beyond the
ground reviewed. and that field will be only
imperfectly understood. that their teach
ing will never have that professional char
acter IL should have. There is Just as much
reason for examining physicians at stated
periods as there is for examining teachers
who have completed "A course OF study and
state such UGH as tbosa Who have been
licensed upon examination by the
State Board of Education and by the board
of trustees of the State Normal School. To
cancel these contracts will drive many good
teachers TO more faithful States.
1t would. doubt. be a matter of sur
prise to what low grades. and probably
some failures the best State teachers would
make on an examination without rubbing
up" our poorer teachers must be doing
all the time TO get a license 10 teach: vet
this latter class are no better teachers after
getting a license. while the State teachers
are growing better because they have time
to spend in a professional study of their
work. The Legislature will do well TO 20
slowly in this matter OF revolution.

partment of Public Instruction to examine

hate Yesterday but in the three hours that
were consumed in the discussion of the
caucus election bill the senators more than
made up for lost time. In the afternoon
there was a great crowd in the balcony,
attracted thither by the news that there
was a hot debate going on. AT times the
gallery broke into applause. Once Lieu
tenant Governor Haggard raped for order.
remarking that the gallery must keep or
der. This is not a town meeting" he de-
clared. The discussion of the bill began
at IL o'clock. 1t was resumed after the
noon adjournment and a vote was not
reached until nearly o'clock. The bill
passed by a strictly party vote.
Before the discussion OF the election bill
several others of more or less Importance
were passed. chief among which was the
Metropolitan police bill introduced by Sena-
tor Early and made a caucus measure.
Senator Patten, of the Democrats, voted
for it, II has heretofore been published

A Needed Reform.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Senator Nusbaum's bill. pertaining TO the
duties OF county commissioners. as reported
in to-day's Journal. is good measure. and
should become a law soon as possible.
1t has become the practice of late years
with the boards of many counties to trans
act too much OF the public business secretly
and at called sessions Allowances ag-
gregatng many thousands OF dollars in the
course OF year passed upon at these
special sessions. and then the law requiring
publication of allowances is eVaded. so that
the taxpayers are practically ignorant OF
what is done except at the regular sessions.
1T has been the custom in this county Tor
several years past for the board to contract
for all iron bridges and much other expen-
siVe work outside of regular sessions. and
without statutory notice TO bidders, or in
fact. without public notice of any kind.
Then when the work is completed IL Is ac-
cepted and paid for in the same manner.
Ii is time TO turn on the lights and let the
records show and the public know all about
bids, contracts and expenditures.

sumed at Parkersburg, ". Va. five years
ago was adopted At that time the body
expressed itself as being i'm favor of an
observance of Sunday that would assure TO
railroad men a day of rest and do away
with all Sunday trains not actually neceS-
sary. Senator Schneck says that many OF
the railroads prefer only 10 run trains on
Sunday that necessary to carry
through travel, the mails. through express
and perishabe freight in order that the
railroad operatives may have the day of
rest which they desire and to which they
are entitled. Some companies, however run
excursion trains and their employees are
compelled to obey the summons to take
them out. Senator Schneck says that these
excursions have a demoraiizing influence on
young people. who take advantage of low
fares to visit large cities. from which they
cannot get home until late AT night. on
this account many people living In the
