Monticello Journal FavOrs Bill.

Clay w. Metsker, representative elect
of Marshall county, will introduce a
bill in the next legislature to prevent
the joint action of business men in CIV
ing prizes to secure trade for their re-
spective firms, and to abolish the use of
the trading stamps. The trading
stamp is recognized as an evil. 1t
must work hardship either on the
business man who issues them or on
the customers. The articles called for
by the trading stamp must be paid for
by some one. The only ones who profit
from the trading stamps are the trading
stamp companies. In many. Indiana
towns the business men have not had
the nerve to protect themselves from
the trading stamp sharks. The law
proposed by Mr.. Metsker will do for
them what they ought to do for them
selves.-Monticello Journal.

Where Democrats Won.

Returns received at the Office of sup
erintendent of public instruction show
that the democrats have gained at least
300 trustees In the state, which will
mean the election of about forty demo
cratic county superintendents TO sue
coed that many republicans. The town
boards of trustees have been in office
five and half years, and, naturally,
dissatisfaction has resulted, and local
issues have controlled the vote in many
townships. 1t is estimated that the
democrats have elected from $50 TO 700
trustees of total of 1,0l5.

State Auditor Hart, of Indiana
has completed his recommendations
on insurance questions to the incom-
ing Legislature, and they will appear
in the current number of Rough
Notes. He holds that fire insur-
ance is costing the people too much,
both from the standpoint of the in
surer and the insured, for the reason
that there are so many unnecessary
losses. To remedy this he urges
the establishment of a state fire
marshall. The repeal of the semi
annual report requirement is urged
as serving no good purpose, and hi
asks that the resident agent law be
strengthened so as to be free from
technical constructions against the
state. Brokers in Chicago and
other large cities are carrying big
lines in the state on which the com.
monwealth gets no revenue and he
asks that brokerage insurance be
rendered more difficult and that the
solicitation for unauthorized com.
panies have penalties of more posi-
tive and explicit Interpretation. Ir

A notable recent event was tie
unveiling Of a tablet to the memo
~ Of Jonathan Edwards, in the
Congregational church in North
ampton, Mass, where Edwards was
castor for twenty-three years 1727
to 1850 until driven out because Of
he pungency Of his preaching, and
especially because he opposed the
"balf-way covenants" system then
common in New England. One
hundred and fifty years have
passed since the sad hearted pastor
said his farewell to the people and
scenes which were dear to him, and
went forth, be hardly knew whith-
er. During all these wears God has
honored his memory and bis teach.
Ing, and now the "children" Of
hose who drove him ont are seek

The Machines Apology.
To THE PUBLIC +:

We desire to explain to the public WHY
Mr. Nathan M. Palmer was taken off the
Democratic county ticket. He was NOM
mated by the Democratic county corven-
ton as Populist who favored the Con-
Stitutional Amendment. Afterward he
was nominated by wing of the Populist
party that was opposed to the Amend.
uent and his name placed on q ticket
with men who are openly opposed to
and working against the passage of the
Cook, the leading Republican of the
county, whom it is we'll known the hon
est rank and file of the Populist party
will not support because they must. and
we believe do recognize the fact that he
represents no political principle in COM
mon with theirs. We were convinced
that the presence of Mr.. Palmers name
on that ticket lent aid and encourage
ment to the anti-amendment sentiment
IN the county and to the same extent, Of
course, weakened the cause of white su-
premacy. Viewing the matter in this
OF permit to be published, his letter de-
clining the nomination rendered him by
the anti-amendment crowd.
He declined to do so. and there was no
other course to be followed excert to
take his name from the Democratic ticket
We, who sign this notice, are members
OF the Democratic executive committee
that took his name off the ticket.
