A Democratic member of the House. on
hearing that the Republicans were to hold
a caucus regarding the township and county
bills. is reported to have said that IF such
is the case we will all vote for them and
thus prevent them from making politIcaI
capital out of such legislation" That Demo-
crat was wiser in his generation than some
of his party who are more prominent That
would be just the thing for the Democrats
of the Legislature to do if they are engaged
In the business of what is called good poll

legislation the Republicans could ask MOTH
ing better than that the Democrats should
make war upon all the measures designed
to give the people of Indiana less expensive

1t is rumored that there are Republicans
who are not pleased with the active efforts
of Chairman Hernly, of the Republican
state committee. to secure reform legis-
lation relative to townships and counties
Let US see if there is any ground for these
behind-the-door complaints. The Repub-
lican state convention, in language as en-
phatic as can be used, pledged the party to
township and county reform. Mr.. Hernly
is the official head Of the party organization,
and as such it is his duty to carry out the
DEGREES of the party by using all legitimate
means. To appoint committees to take part
in preparing and pressing such legislation
IS as much his duty as to organize TO elect
the ticket nominated by the same convention
which pledged the party. that is. its organ
ization, to reform measures. The mass of
the Republican party will applaud the chair
man for the work ne is doing. but none of
those who criticise will give their names to
the public as opponents.

After having had time to examine the
township bill recommended by the majority
of the committee the House by an emphatic
majority adopted the majority report rec
ommending the passage of the bill prepared
by the friends Of township reform. Both
parties voted for it, so that it becomes a
nonpartisans lsilL as so important measure
should be. The vote stood So to 6. Most of
those not voting were unable to be present.
The adoption of the majority report was
followed by passing the bill to engrossment

Reser-voted against the measure The other
four making up the six were Democrats, one
of whom is the member who thinks it more
important to discuss Is to l than to legis-

Germany has not little bit of doubt as

islands, but she is dreadfully uneasy just
now lest the United States may become alb

said claims. The fact is, the people of this
country have lost respect for that word

that it should be promoted in every legiti-

the attempt to teach it in the public schools
