such questions does no good, but, on
the other hand, it Injuries the cause

That is merely the contention of
the enemy. The friends of temper
ance admit nothing of the kind. The
cause Of temperance never won II
victory without "wrangle," You
cannot propose any sort of temper

"wrangle." The whiskey men are
"wranglers" from away back. They
wraneled and threatened and swore
and fought, when the four.mile law
was adopted. They lave wrangled
and opposed every further extension
given to it. They wTangled over the
passage of the 10 o'clock law, and
under the Yoest regime did their
best to repeal it. They wrangle
every time Columbia proposes to
elect Board Of Mayor and Alder
men without their consent. And it
is their stock argument that "the
fanatics have gone too far this time y
and "this is not the way to do it; :,
and 1--WE will beat You at the next
election" BuL that is only their
talk, mind you, and it does not sin

tie bit. The cause of temperance il
stronger than it ever was before In
the history Of this country, and is
growing stronger still, every day.

If an experiment that has been
proceeding in Washington for some
years turns out success when it
eliminates this fall, it will be pos
sible to grow orange trees out OF
doors all over the southern half OF
the United States. The Department
of Agriculture has crossed the
Florida orange on the hardy but un,
palatable Japanese species, which
grows amid snow and ice, and if the
fruit is luscious, the experiment will
have been a success. Trees are now
bearing, but the fruit will not be ripe
until fall, 80 the real flavor cannot
be determined. Even if the fruit
fails, the tree produced can be useC
to great advantage as hedge.

Betty Bowling, OF County,
Oldest Old Maid in America.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SEYMOUR, Ind. April betty Bowling,
who was one of the oldest persons in In
diana and probably the oldest old maid in
America. died at her home in the south
western corner of Jackson county Sunday
night. She was'almOst 105 years old, hav-
ing been born in Kentucky in the year 1876.
In 1916. the year Indiana was admitted 10
statehood, the Dowlings, with four other
families, removed from Kentucky to In
diana, settling within a few miles of the
home where she died. 1t was many miles
from their cabin to a settlement. Indians
following the course of the east fork of
White river frequently passed through that
locality, but they never had any trouble
with the red men. She said that when they
wouid camp near their cabin her father
and brothers would mingle with them as
they would among neighbors. Her mental
faculties failed about five years ago.
For over forty years-eVer since the old
Ohio q Mississippi Railroad was built-she
lived within a mile and a half of the rail-
road, yet never was on the cars. The peo-
pie of Sparksville, the neighborhood VII
lage, say she had not been there for Jwen-
ty years. When asked about why she never
married she said ii was because she didnt
want to.

ISSUES AT CHICAGO.
Granting of Franchises to Street Rail-
NayS the Min Question.

CHICAGO, April This city will hold
tomorrow one of the most important
municipal elections in it's history. The
chief issue is the granting of franchises
street railways, whose rights during the
two or more decades are to be decided
during the incoming mayors term of office.
Mayor Harrison has made a record against
the granting Of long franchises and he and
his followers assert that Judge Elbridge
Hanecy, the Republican nominee. is favor
able to extensive grants to the street-car
companies. The Republicans deny this
with great vehemence and declare that
Hanecy will give the city a much cleaner
administrator than Harrison. both In po-
litics and in the streets and that the ir-
regularities which they charge against
Mayor Harrison will not be seen under
Hanecy. The campaign has been hot on
both sides.
Hanecy is backed up by the Republican
machine headed by Congressman Lorimer,
which has dominated the last three RepuD-
lican city conventions and lost the last two
city elections. Ex-Governor Altgeld is OPP
posed TO Harrison, but his opposition is eX-
pected to carry less weight than two years
ago, when ne was an independent Demo-
cratic candidate opposed to Harrison, who
was elected over him and u. X. Carter, the
Republican nominee. The Democrats claim
the election by a plurality of 10000 to &C, 200;
the Republicans claim a plurality of 5000.
as absolutely certain for Hanecy and d
plurality of 10000.

R WITH ARSON.
A Fire i'm a Barn Causes the Arrest
of Frank Sharp.

A fire was discovered in the barn be-
longing to J. II. Furnas, North and Fulton
streets, at 10 o'clock last light. When the
fire was first discovered it was bursting
out of the loft. No one seemed 10 know
how it started or who turned in the alarm.
Fourteen horses were in the stable part of
the barn, but they were rescued without
being burned. The fire department sue
ceeded in keeping the flames in the upper
part of the barn, and the loss will not be
over $500.
After the fire Patrolmen Johnson and
simmons began to investigate the cause
and finally located the man who turned In
the alarm. He is Fark Sharp, living at 40S
Fulton street, near the barn He did not
give a good account of himself and was
so closely questioned that ne admitted that
he went into the loft of the barn TO lay
down and threw a lighted match into the
hay. He then turned in the alarm. The
police arrested MIN and he was locked up
on a charge of lettering and arson. At the
police station he said he could prove that
he was not about the barn al the time of
the fire.
