To Eliminate False Registry.

A legislator in Indianapolis wants
the state legislature to enact law
compelling everyone arrested on a
criminal charge to register under his
true name, and making q false register
criminal offense. The law would
also make it punishable offense for
an officer of the law TO allow man
to register falsely provided the officer
knew such registry to be false. This
would end the days of John Doe and
Richard Roe in police courthouse

made to answer for every crime 10 the

Concerning the Century.

Some of the peculiarities of the 10th
century are being figured out Among
other things discovered is the fact that
1t will contain 36,639 days, which lacks
one day of being exactly 5,2lS weeks
The day of week that will not occur
as often as each of the others is Mon
day. Fifteen out of the hundred years
will begin on Wednesday ana the same
number on Friday. Fourteen will be-
gin on each of the other days of the
week. These things will interest the
present generation more now than they
will at the end of the Goth century.

A Huge Mistake.

Farmers who give up their local and
county papers for dailies printed q
hundred or two miles away are making
q huge mistake and they will find it
out to their sorrow later on. The
crushing out of the country pa
pers would leave the farmers without
any reliable champion. The great
dsilies are counting on smothering the
country papers by means of the rural
mail delivery. 1t will be q sad day for
the farmers if they succeed. The coun.
try paper is almost always honest. This
cannot be said Of the great dsilies.-

One of the things that will come
to pass in this country during the
new century will be the enactment
of a pretty steep inheritance tax.
Public sentiment is shaping up for
such enactments. That method of
gaining revenue has been in vogue
for several years in the state of
New York, a commonwealth that
has more rich men within its Dor
ders than any other state in the
Union. The inheritance tax is pop
ular with the masses. Much that
is usually said IN opposition to an
income tax fails to hold good as OBJ
jections to an inheritance tax. The
point is made that the government
waits until the creators of large for
tunes have finished their work be-
fore coming in for a part of their
accumulations.-South Bend Times.

ORPHANS OF THIS STATE.
Work of Finding Homes for Them Goes

Work of Finding Homes for Them Goes
In his annual report Secretary But
Ter, of the board of state charities, de-
votes considerable space to the work
that is being done throughout Indiana
in the care Of orphans. There are now
in family homes, 2.3lS children subject
to visitation of the agents of the
board of state charities. These
have been so placed 10y orphans homes
associations since May 81, 1898, and by
the state agents since April l, 1897
The associations placed $50, the state
agents 400, and 255 were placed by rels.
tives and friends of the children.
On Oct 81, 1899, there were present
in the county orphans homes, 1905
children. During the last year there
were received from all sources 1874
children, of whom 1869 had never been
in the orphans homes previously and
sos were readmisslons. The children
discharged numbered ,453, as follows:
Five hundred and nineteen we're placed
in the family homes by the association; ;
2O3 by the stste agency; $50 were re-
stored TO parents by the associations,
and by the state agency; o6 died, and
1872 were discharged for other causes.
This leaves ,627 in the homes at the
end of the year, gain of 81 IN the num-
Der maintained at public expense in the
orphans homes.
1.-The board of state charities believes
that these dependent children should
grow up in family homes and learn to
live life as 1t is. The orphans home is
valuable as place in which to prepare
children for family homes; but it is not
desirable that children grow up in such
institutions without adequate know
ledge of the conditions under which
they are to live when they start out in
life for themselves"
The board has found by experience
that it is much easier TO obtain homes
for children under five or ten years of
age than for children between those
ages.

TO AID HOME PAPERS.

Mr. Metsker's Bill Concerning County
Printing.
Clay w. Metsker, representative
from Marshall county, will introduce
an amendment TO the county and town.
ship reform laws 10 the house shortly
which will be of deep interest to the
newspaper publishers of this state. Mr..
Metsker is editor and proprietor of the
Plymouth Independent and a member
of the house committee on printing.
The amendment which Mr.. Metsker
will introduce provides that the bids
for county printing shall be in the
hands of the county officers and that
they shali be confined to the newspapers
published in the county. The lowest
bid shall be accepted and the sppropri-
alton for the county printing will be
made by the county council the same
as it is at the present time
In discussing the proposed amend
ment Mr.. Metsker said
"The purpose of the amendment
is to give the newspaper publishers
of the state chance. AS it is now
they are completely barred out.
The large printing firms of Indian
apolis have the advantage and there
is no use for newspaper publisher
to bid at the present time. When
were advertised for in our county
the newspaper publishers there
offered bids at what they considered
below cost, but they we're beat at
least $50 by one of the large Indian
apolis firms. In justice to the news
papers L believe this amendment
should pass"
Mr.. Metsker also believes that the
law should be amended to the effect
that all blanks should be printed for
the particular county in which they are
used. This would make it necessary
for the name of the county to be
printed instead of blank space being
iolI III WulCu W lueoIt IL Ill WIltluk
He says this would prevent the whole
sale printing of these blanks and hav-
ing them in stock to distribute to the
counties when the bids for the printing
are awarded.
Another bill Mr.. Metsker will intro
duce provides that the county council
shall be obliged to publish the council
proceedings in at least one daily paper
of the county, if there is one, and if
there is not, in the weekly paper; that
the county commissioners shall publish
their proceedings in the two weekly
papers of the county having the largest
circulation and tina. the city treasurer
shall publish al annual itemized state
ment of the finances in daily paper,
if there is one published in the county,
and if not, in the weekly.-lndisnspo

OBJECTION TO SCOTS BILL.

Sun does not, it seems to us, hold
water. No matter if it is a relic of
the Baxter law, which didn't work
in its day. Conditions now are not
what they were then. The anti
liquor forces are stronger and the
other temperance laws are fan more
stringent. SCOTS amendment does
not, as we understand it, contem-
plate that applicants shall be re-
lieved of publishing notice of appli-
cation. The Sun doesn't care a
snap about the amendment except
that it seems out of reason that all
the work and responsibility should
be placed upon the taxpayers. 1t
seems unjust that a whole ward

the penalty was considered by many
unjust, as he merely shot thief who
