Its curious how this paving question
crops up. Interest in it almost dis
counted the excitement in the yacht
race yesterday. Wherever men met,
the subject was discussed In the cor
ner stores official ana unofficial folk
foregathereii and told What they did
and did not know about paving.
BUT the principal caucus of the day
was held in the courthouse. 1t was
held all over the building. II started
On the porch with Il couple of city Off
Gals coming in from dinner. These
twain We're reinforced in the hall.
Where the argument vas augmented
tiercely Thence the seat Of war was
shifted to the office Of City Auditor
Reed, who. from his seat behind the
City Treasurer j. NJ. Curtis sat in his
accustomed chair. taking desulto1y
part in the proceedings. City Sergeant
E. W. Milstead. on OF the other side Of
the room. contributed literally to the
accumulation Of fruitless discussion.
City Clerk ]. a. Masse. Deputy City
Sergeant Hernjlon, and Mr.. E. S. Rob
insOn were in the thick of the fray.
To these presently entered Conlnlpn-
weatths Attorney j. X. NJ. Newton and
MIR. Y IS Barclay. Corporation Court
Clerk Doug. Smith presently came
upon the scene and made a desperate
effort to get the whole crowd to join
in a physical encounter. but without
success After awhile came Sewer Su-
perintendent j. j. O'Donnell. who took
his seat behind a high desk and said
nothing.
While the battle was at its heighth,
His Honor, the mayor, was seen APP
preaching. Forthwith. there was a di-
vision of forces and half the crowd
shifted over to the mayors office.
All the time, the discussion of the
merits of this and that paving and Of
this and that method OF raising money
to put it down. went merrily on, nor
did it wane until the hour waXed late
and all hands had talked out.
Occasionally one would introduce the
subject of sewers. Now and then.
some one would say something about
bridges, but no topic except paving
stood any show at all
When the caucus adjourned, not a
soul was any better informed on the
subject than when he went into it, but
each man had had his say.

Beveridge Criticised.

The Indianapolis Sentinel says that
Senator Beveridge is one of those en-
thusiastic and sentimental partissns to
whom party creed is divine law. He
does not accept it as command, but
as favor, an inspiration, flash of
light from the throne. He kneels as q
devotee to the sanctified tariff, the sa-
cred gold standard and the holy doc
trine of colonial expansion. 1t is his
eligion. He tells US that "the Ameri-
can people are consecrated to the di-
vine duty of preserving and propagating
free institutions among mankind" by
depriving other people of the right of
lf.government and making them the
chaJtels of our commercial syndicate
1t is lucky thing that Beverage was
not born Mohammedan. In that case
the supremacy of Islam would have
been his guiding star, and he would
probably have brought on holy war
by this time.

Is THIS OFFICIAL.

Last Tuesday Chicago paper,
whose publisher, II. H. Kohlsatt, is
on very close terms to President
Mckinley, made this emphatic state
ment in the most conspicuous place
of its editorial columns;
"The Times Herald is in position
to state that Admiral Dewey is OPP
posed to the United States annexing
the Philippines"
At the head of the commission
Admiral Dewey will have an oppor-
tunity to formulate the alternative
policy of the United States.
What Dewey formulates will
come very near being the unani-
nous decision of the people of the
United States.

The Business Mans Version.

A business man writes entertainlngly
as follows: "The business mans life is
full of crosses and temptations. He
comes into this world without his con-
sent, goes out against his will, and the
trip between the two extremities is eX-
ceedingly rocky. The rule of contI aries
is one of the important features of the
trip. When he is little the Rig girls kiss
him. and when he is big the little girls
kiss him. If he raises large family he
is chump, but if he raises a small
check he is thief and fraud, and is
Stunned like a Chinsman with the
seven-year itch. If he is poor, he is a
bad manager; If he's rich, he's dishonest;
if he's in politics, it's for pie; if he's out
of politics, you can't tell where to place
him and he is no good to his country; if
he don't give for charity, he's a stingy
cuss and lives only for himself; if he
dies young, there was great future
ahead of him; if he lives to an old age,
he has missed his calling. He is intro
duced to this world by doctor, and to
the next world by the same process.
The road is rocky, but man likes to
travel it,"

Thursday while Mrs. Belle Arnold
and her mother, Mrs. Cannum were re-
turning from this city to their place in
the country the horse driven by them
ran away. The animal became fright
ened while passing under the visduct
on Michigan street and rushed headlong
into the embankmeDt in front of the Glib
son residence. Both of the women were
thrown from the buggy. Mrs. Arnold
escaped with only few scratches but
her mother was badly bruised. Until a
physician was called the supposition
was that she had broken leg. The
injuries did not prove that bad, how
ever, but she received marks on every
part of her body.

Lynchers Not Indicted.

The special grand jury called to in
vestigate the lynching of Marion Tyler
at Scottsburg, Ind, Dec. "a, adjourned
yesterday afternoon without returning
any indictments.
Of the work that had been done and
concluded with the statement that no
evidence could be secured upon which
to base indictments
Judge New, who summoned the grand
jury in special session, is indignant, and
says he will continue his efforts to bring
the lynchers to punishment. The gov.
ernor and the attorney general ay be
appealed to.

Voting by Machinery.

The organization of an Indiana COM
pany for the manufacture of voting
machines is sign of the times. The
existing methods of voting are primitive,
cumbersome and expensive and will
soon be abandoned in this and all other
advanced counties. Mechanical devices
are successfully used in almost all kinds
of private and public business. a nimal
traction Is rapidly giving way to me,
chanical traction. Nearly all of our
books and newspapers are now set up
| by machinery; ten years ago they were
set up by hand. The long distance tele.
phone is encroaching on the telegraph
as medium for rapid communication
The cash register and similar contri.
vances are found in nearly every shop.
But the most important business of all,
to the individual selection of the
men who make, execute and interpret
the lsws-is conducted by the same slow
and imperfect methods as were en-
Voting by machinery mas been tried
iii New York and other states with ex-
cellent results. Laws have been passed
authorizing it, and the reform promises
to spread over the country as rapidly as
did the Australian system a few years
ago. Indiana was the second state to
adopt the Australian system and it
should be one of the first to introduce
machine voting. To authorize it will
require amendments to the election law,
and these should be prepared with
great care, and well considered before
adoption. No law should be passed
in the interest of any particular ma
chine. Certain general requirements.
should be prescribed and the field left
open so that thu best and most econom-
ical instruments may be chosen.
We think there is nothing in the con-
stItutionsl objection which has been
suggested and that the courts will so
decide. The constitution provides for
votlng by DallOC lDstea0 OF viva v0ve.
The purpose of this provision was to
assure secrecy and protection to the
voter. This purpose would be better
served by machine voting than under
tie present system, just as it is better
served now than under the old election
law, where, in fact. 1t WAS not served at
all. The paper or cards upon which
candidates names are recorded in all
the voting machines of which we have
any knowledge. will, under fair con
struction, fall within the definitions of
the word "ballot" given in the standard
dictionaries. The courts will no doubt
hold, if the question should be raised,
that in recording ones choice secretly
by machine one votes by ballot in the
sense of the constitution.-Indi

SHALL WE INVESTIGATE:
Ney Stevens Finds Out What Other Coun-

Ney Stevens Finds Out What Other COun-
ties Have Gained and Lost i'm Investi-
eating Public Documents.
Ney Stevens brings home some de-
slrable information regarding the in
vestigation of books in Elkhart and
| DeKalb counties. At Goshen expert
accountants examined the tressurer's
books for period beginning six years
previous to the time of examination
and the auditors books for period of
two years previous. 1t costs the county
for the experts alone S2,2S2.57. The in
yestigation however brought forth
deficit of Sc 339. "a due the county from
ex-Treasurer ROumania. When the
case Was put in court, positive evidence
contrsdicted the accountants In their
| first statement and lowered the actual
deficit to Sl50S7. Same was recovered
in court. Treasurer Campbell was
also held by the accountants for 81 OBJ
80. This case was dismissed by the
court and the costs paiC from the pub
lie treasury.
Should the people of Marshall county
order an investigation of the books to
the year 1871, which is the date entered
on the circulated petition, it would not
cost less than fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars The foregoing is an estimate
based upon time and money required IN
the Elkhart county investigation. Ex-
perts cannot be hired for less than a
dollar an hour.
The investigation in DeKalb county
revealed startling evidence of fraud. 1t
appeared that the auditor. treasurer and
deputy auditor had formed cabal for
swIndling the county. Their game was
clever one. When they made out a
warrant. say, for example-S2.2S, they
would write it thus: two 2S-l00
dollars, but later before drawing on the
treasurer they habitually prefxed other
figures ia front of the amounts on the
warrant. The two 20-luO would
become four hundred twenty-five 49, 100
dollars, and De 1928 would be CONVEX
ted into S42228. The auditor, treas
urer, clerk and deputy auditor of De
Kslb county We're sent to states prison.
Such a swindle would be an impossi-
bility in our county, as the commission
ers check off the amounts for every
warrant which has been issued, on their
allowance docket.
In each of the above cases of investi
CATION, the evidence against the de-
frauding officers was reasonably strong
before petition was put in circulation
demanding that the books be examined.
In Marshall county we do surmise few
cases of dishonesty, but the sentiment
has not grown strong enough to assume
the guise of an actual suspicion. 1t
would be an act of extravaganza on the
part of the commissioners should
they employ experts.
