CAPITAL ENT.

The people of Indiana are not
worried as to whether capital pun
ishment shall be by electrocution or
by hanging. Of one thing, how
eyer, we are sure-we want to keep
capital punishment, for the present
at least. 1t is all right to talk of
the sacredness of human life, but
whose life? Is it the life of the
peaceful, upright innocent citizen
who never swerves from the path
of duty, or the brutal assassin who
lies in wait for this citizen ard takes
his life for paltry sum of money
Society has a right to be protected
from this murderer and the only
sure protection is that the murder
er's life be required of him at the
hands of the law. Sentiment and
humanity are not to be forgotten in
the treatment of criminals, but the
thousands of innocent citizens have
an equal right to the protection of

GOOD FOR SURVEYORS.
Astonishing Bill Before Committee OF
the House.

Astonishing Bill Before Committee OF
the House.
The house committee on drains and
dykes was confronted Wednesday,
Feb. IL, by a bill of astonishing pro-
visions. Two men that appeared to
speak for the bill, which has been in
PRODUCED ID the house, said they repre-
sent the state association OF county
surveyors.
The bill contains much detail, but
the gist OF II is that every two years a
county surveyor may clean all of the
bitches in his county, and shall receive
for his services 81 day. He is en-
powered to employ all of the deputies
he needs, and is allowed 81 a day for
each of them The bill contains an
emergency clause. Mr.. Metsker, a
member of the committee said:
"This bill is a grab. The land
owners 10 be assessed have absO-
luteiy no say as TO when bitches
shsl be cleaned. The surveyor
may put IN an unlimited number
of days at II day, and may en-
ploy deputies az 81 30 a day and
pocket the remaining b 80 day
for each deputy. The till, | be-
lieve, virtually repeats nearly all of
the ditch laws" Indianapolis

REFORM LAW HAS WORKED WELL

The indianapolis Press in refer
ence to the results of the county re-
form laws, notes the fact that the
first full year of the operation of
the system showed a saving of
something over $2,252,ooo, while
the saving in township poor relief
brought the amount saved to APP
proximately S3,ooo,ooo. without
taking into account the other de-
partments of township expenditure.
1t then adds with a great deal of
force that all reports agree that the
financial saving affected by this re-
form is probably the least of its
good results. Under otis operation
the outdoor poor relief work has
been carried on more intelligently
and efficiently that county institu-
tons have been more carefully and
more clearly managed; that con-
tracts for county and township pub
lie works have been more carefully
watched and more faithfully carried
out; that there has been more in
telligent and honest administration
in both these branches of local gov
eminent, and, best of all, that there
has been very appreciable de-
crease of corruption and distinct
elevation of the moral conception of
official duty"

Erdlitz Is Lightest Weight.

The Indiana illustrated Weekly,
printed at Indianapolis, contains the
following:
"The smallest man, physically, in the
legislature is Representative Clay Nets
ker, of Marshall county. He is about
half the size and weight of Cyrus E.
Davis, the minority leader, who is his
close friend and boon companion. Mr..
Metsker is very bright man and has
made some strong speeches before COM
mittees that had his bills in charge
with the result that he has been sue
cessful in getting most of them before
the house on favorable reports. He is
newspaper publisher and he has had
unusual success In building up run
down newspaper properties and max
ing them paying concerns. He Is fond
of joke and the other day when an
Indianapolis newspaper printed on the
same page collection of pictures Of
mem bers of the house and q collection
Of photographs of star murderers, Mr..
Metsker exclaimed: Il don't know
whether that is intended as q slam on
us or the murderers
Mr.. Metsker is represented as being
the smallest man physically in the leg

has the best of Representative Erdlitz

ever, including serving processes. ar
rests, collections, feeding prisoners and
taking them to correctional and chart
table institutions, attending court and
canvassIng election returns. Judge f..
A. Ely, of the Dubois circuit court, Sat
urdsy, decided that none of the fees for
these duties are part of the sheriff 8
salary, and that be is TO be allowed ad
dItioDel compensation for such services
The closest point was as to whether
the per diem of the sheriff for attend
ing commissioners and circuit courts is
to be considered part of the salary of
the sheriff, or whether he is to be paid
extra for such services. The Judge de-
cided that it was not part of the salary.

dered an appeal TO the supreme court.

the list of those whose lives are
considered sacred. Colorado is a
state that has surrendered to this
maudlin sentiment of the sanctity

passed by the populists prohibiting
capital punishment. The criminally

this law, and knowing that as long

the lesson that other states

tradino-Stamp

The trading-stamp company
complains against the alleged injus-
tice of the exclusion of its advertis-
ing from the local papers. To an
swer this specious argument it is
only necessary to call attention to
the duty of the press to protect
home industry before considering
the rights of an outside concern.
The Logansport merchants have
aignifed their desire to discourage
the evil of prize giving and as the
newspapers look to the business
men for support to champion a
cause inimical to their business
would be not only bad business pol
icy, but contemplate dIsloyalty.
The Reporter does not believe that
stamp companies have any senti-
mental rights which we are bound
10 respect and we do know that all
honorable means are justified in an
effort to eradicate the practice

In the state senate, the Muncie
normal school bill, the epileptic in
stitution bill and the bill to refund
to Nincennes university have
passed. There are strong argu-
mentS advanced for each bill which
are worthy of most careful consid-
Grafton.
Muncle offers to give the state
land and buildings TO the value of
$4,000 and only asks $4,000 per
wear TO maintain the institution. 1t
is claimed, and rightly too, that if
another normal is not established
that the state will have to appropri-
ate funds to enlarge the institution
at Terre Haute Terre Haute can
not at present accommodate all that
apply in the spring and summer
season. Other states have more
than one state normal school; some
have as many as six. The $4,000
appropriation for maintaining the
Muncie normal will be tax of
cent on every 81, 900 valuation. 1t
is safe to say that school located
nearer to the people of the north
part of the state would effect a
great saving in the way of railroad
fares to those who take normal
school instruction.
Muncie is not trying to "pass off"
WORKOUT, defunct property on the
state as some of the papers are
claiming. She is an enterprising
city, wants state educational insti-
tuition and is willing to pay the state
well to recognize her, in that the
$4,000 property is offered to the
state as gift. The cry of econ
omy is always advanced when ap-
preparations of this kind are consid-
cred, but there is a true economy
and a false economy. The false
economy is the "penny-wise and
pound foolish"
Indiana is great state and has
great capabilities. Why not en-
courage such educational institu-
tons and make it possible for all
who desire normal school training
to get it without prescribing an
educational qualification as prevails
at Terre Haute every spring and
summer. Hundreds are denied en-
trance into that normal because of
these restrictions, and 1t certainly
seems wise that at least some provi-
sions should be made by which it
would become possible to remove
these restrictions.
The writer of this article is the
representative of Marshall county
He is not prepared to say how he
will vote when the matter comes
before the house, but the above
matters are certainly worthy of
earnest thought and consideration.
If it is true economy to establish
a state normal at Muncie, it should
be established if on the contrary,
true economy is with the PROPOSE
ton either to enlarge the Tene
Haute institution or continue to bar
out the hundreds that demand nor
NAL school advantages, then the
Muncie proposition should be
turned down. Thoughtful persons
will not jump at senseless conclu-
sionS. This is matter that is
worthy of consideration other than
the argument of the Almighty dol
lar.
