A Valued OniniOn.

In lengthy opinion upon the con-
stitutiOnsllty of the superior court act
and the amendments thereto authOrlZ-
ing the county commissioners to pro-
vide suitable places for it to sit, Judge
VIM. Johnson, of Valparaiso, writes
that the law is undoubtedly cOnstitu.
tional and cites decisions and statutes
to verify his opinion and concludes
with this strong language:
That the Legislature has the right to
establish the superior court for Ham
mond, the superior court has settled
1t would be strange, therefore, if the
court to be held in Hammond, and vet
wonld be pOwerless to provide place
to hold the court. If it is reasonable
to have a court at Hammond, it is just
as reasonable to have place for its
sitting. | am therefore of the opinion
that il was within the power O! the
legislature to command the board of
county commissioners Of Lake county
to provide suitable quarters for this
court. Such being the case, the board
has the power To either rent suitable
place or purchase site and build
thereon.
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1899-10-06

The day of newspaper mud sling
ing and abuse is fast disappearing
and that of reasonable argument is
being ushered in. The live news
paper man no longer makes glaring
misrepresentation about a policy or
a political foe. Each topic must be
discussed on its merits in order TO
accomplish any good result. The
time was when anything that was
particularly harsh to the opposition
was agreeable to the readers of party
organs. A lot of dirty abuse filled
the bill with certain class of read
ers and others tolerated it. But to-
day if an editor of newspaper has
not sufficient knowledge to discuss an
economic question or issue he would
be more in place as conductor of a
garbage cart. Any sensible man has
learned that others have honest, con-
scientious opinions that may conflict
with his opinions. In political mat
tiers there are no traitors to their
country in the United States. OF
course there are bad and dishonest
men; but they exist in all parties.
While the parties differ widely on
certain policies of government no
party desires to destroy the govern
ment and to claim such a thing is to
betray a dense ignorance and to
falsify the truth. There is no use
in attempting TO convince man or
a party of its error, if either is in
error, by TRADE of abuse. The
only proper way is to state facts and
state them in way that will appeal
to reason. Sensational political
abuse must pass away,
as the people who like to read such
rot are disappearing from the face
of the earth.-W abash Times.

FOR JOHNSON'S PARDON.
Friends of tn. Bank Wrecker Want {.
Secure His Freedom.

Friends of the Bank wrecker Want to
Secure His Freedom.
An effort Will soon be made to secure
the pardon of John Johnson serving a
l0-year sentence in the federal prison at
Columbus, o for wrecking the Logans
port State National bank, of which he
was president. There IS a strong senti-
ment in favor of the imprisoned man,
and weighty influence VIII be brought
to bear, it is said
Judge Baker sentenced Johnson and
it is not known what attitude he and
District Attorney Wishard Will take.
With all of JohnsOn's misdeeds, he re
tanned many friends, who believe he
has been sufficiently punished, and also
contend that JOhnsOn's action in taking
his medicine without protest should be
taken into favorable consideration.
The opposition 10 the movement will
come mainly from those who lost
heavily through JOhnsOn's speculations
a number of people, who regarded the
banker as their best friend, were among
the victims, and they are not disposed
to advocate leniency. There is a sug-
gestiOn of strong pull in the Mckin-
ley quarter, but the identity of those
behind it has not been divulged.
