The proposition TO increase the salary of
the Governor should not fail because II
could not be made to apply to the present
Governor. That would have been desirable,
but the failure was due to the last Legis-
lature and should not be repeated by this
one. That there should be a reasonable ir-
crease in the salary is generally admitted
and an easy disposition of the question
would be for the present Legislature to
make the increase applicable to~the next
Governor.

There have been many instances OF cor
porations enjoying municipal franchises
triiing with public interests or falling in
their duty TO the people, but the case OF the
water company at Muncie is one of the
worst on record IT appears that after
several years OF inadequate water supply.
during which a number of destructive fires
occurred, and all efforts to discover the
cause OF the low pressure failed. it has
been found that two of the main pipes for
supplying the city have been completely
plugged during the entire period. The cir
cumstances indicate that the plugging was
done In the interest OF the company, and II
investigation shall prove that to be the
case. 1t should receive the severest pun

LOVING COUNSEL

Waste n time in sad repining
For a past now dead and gone,
Long not in your Blind impatiencs
For some hour that is to come;
Rather use the present, better,
Doing al the good you may,
Then viii come no vain repentance
For a wasted yesterday.
"Count Your blessings" and be happy
Every heart must bear its cross,
Every life has its own sorrow,
Those who love must suffer loss;
Waste no day in idle grieving
Ger ife'a discipline of pain,
For ouE loving Father careth
And no prayer is made in vain.
Walk hy faith; work in the present
What your hands may find to do,
Sire myth for every day is given
As lifa's journey we pursue;
Waste no tears DER future trials,
Simplr trusting, do your best,
Courag comes for each occasion
Do your part. God does the rest.
