In another column we print the
board of health notice, which orders
all refuse matter removed from lots
and alleys before the first Of May.
The authorities should see that the
health laws are ligidly enforced, not
only in the spring, but at all times,
and the city ordinance enforced in
the case of those who do not clean up
their premises. While Morris is very
poorly drained and sewer system is
almost an impossibility at present,
t he streets, alleys and vacant lots can
be policed regularly and thus do
away with great amount of sickness
and improve the general appearance
of the city.

A couple of broken down actors
blew into the city on tandem Tues
day afternoon and entertained a
large crowd on the Merchants corner
for an hour or so. They claimed to
be old circus performers that had
been playing in hard luck and we're
compelled to resort to this means of
livelihood. The woman wore a
catchy costume and the man had
heard something about Juggling.
After giving a short performance
they gathered few nickels from the
crowd and went on their way re-
joicing.

A MISTAKE OF ORGANIZED LABOR.

The recent action of a trade union of
Schenectady. N. Y, in expelling a men,
Der of the union because he was a men,
Der OF the National Guard and served
with his company during a strike which
required the calling out of the militia,
is causing considerable comment. The facts
were published in the news columns Of the
Journal a few days ago. William Potter,
a member of the local Painters and Dec
orators Union of Schenectady. was ex-
PEELED as the official notification stated,
''for being a member of the National
Guard. contrary to our rules as laid down
in our national bylaws The officers of
Potter's employers to dismiss him under
threat of Withdrawing all of their other
workmen. Potter served in the volunteer
army during the Spanish war and at it's
conclusion resumed work at his old trade
No charge was brought against him ex-
cept that above stated. On discharging him
his employers gave him letter of recon-
mendation certifying that he was a good
mechanic, willing to work for his en-
ployer's interest.
The union at Schenectady undoubtedly
made a mistake. The Journal Is not pre-
pared TO say whether or not the national
bylaws of any labor union forbid members
to belong to the State militia, but II they
dc they should be repudiated. The laws OF
New York make every able-boded citizen
between the ages of eighteen and forty-five
years liable to military duty and empower
the Governor. whenever he deems IL neces-
sary. TO order an enrolment OF all such
persons other than those who are already
members Of the National Guard. Other
States have similar laws. From the foun-
dalton OF the government the militia, our
citizen soldiers. have been regarded as the
protectors OF the State and the
guardians of law and order Military serv-
Ice is one OF the highest duties a citizen
! owes the State. and voluntary service
should be badge OF honor rather than OF
disgrace. For trade union TO expel a
man on account OF such service is To place
ban upon patriotism and good citizen
| ship. and to place the laws OF the union

The table indicates, the committee finds,
that a large majority of the public school
men are in favor of the proposition. while
most college presidents and professors ex-
press opinion. Inquiries were sent to
distinguished educators at the head of
State schools in other commemorative and
the committee considers il a significant
fact that i'm every case an affirmative reply
was received.
Among the well-known Indiana educators
who expressed themselves as strongly in
favor of the new normal were Clarence n.
Kendall, superintendent of the Indianapolis
schools; Frank w. Cooley. superintendent
of the Evansville schools; w. T. Stott,
president of Franklin College; c. T. Lane.
principal Fort Wayne High School; Theo-
dore Shockney, president of the Board of
School Commissioners of Union City; J.
+. Haines, superintendent OF schools, No
blesville: r. +. Fitzgibbon, superintendent
of schools. Columbus. and many others.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
The committee is ready to conclude that
public sentiment has so advanced to meet
the new normal school proposition that the
members of the next Legislature will hard
~ be able to go against the will of their
constituents, especially when it is under
stood that there is nothing political in the
matter After the approval of the associa-
ton, which will undoubtedly be given to-
day. the matter will next be brought to the
attention of the State Teachers Associa-
and private schools may make vigorous
fight against recognition of the recon-
mendation, il is believed the proposition
will go before the next Legislature with
the solid backing of public school men.
With the movement moving along so fav-
orably there is some discussion already as
to where the new $4,000 school should be
established. Although local pride influences
many of the educators who are attending
the meeting of the town and city school
superintendents, many OF them do not hes
itate 10 say that Indianapolis is the ideal
place for the new normal on account of
the facilities which no other city in the
State can afford. 1t is pointed out that
convenience of access TO libraries, con-
venience of railway transportation and
other things point 10 Indianapolis as the
natural location of the school.
The first session of the thirteenth meet
ing of the Town and City School Superin-
tendents' Association. which began last
night in the rooms OF the State Board of
Agriculture was devoted entirely to the
discussion of the topics THE Best Meth
cd OF Selecting Teachers and of Determin-
ing their Tenure of Office" and Needed
school Legislation. The first was dis
cussed by Robert l.. Hughes. superintend-
emit at Whiting. and the topic was rounded
off by A A. Campbell. superintendent at
Peru r. l. Hamilton, OF Huntington, and
r. X Bedgood. OF Lafayette. both city
school superintendents. discussed the Sec
ond topic. General discussion was partici-
pated In by number OF the superintend-
ents.
Superintendent Hughes made one sugges-
ton that caused ripple or amusement.

A PENALTY OF PROSPERITY.

Advices from different parts Of the coun-
try show that business is suffering from
excess of prosperity. Paradoxical as
this may appear, II is nevertheless true.
The transportation facilities of the coun-
try, great as they are are not equal to
the demands upon them. The railroads
are choked with prosperity. Chicago pa
pers say that city is experiencing the
worst congestion of freight traffic in its
history, except In times of a widespread
strike. and railroad officials say the con-
dition is almost universal throughout the
country. In addition to the ordinary fall
trade there is a rush in coal business, the
cotton crop has begun to move and the
corn and wheat crops are demanding at
tention. A prominent railroad official at
Chicago is reported as saying that 1t would
require at least Is per cent. more motive
power and cars to handle the freight Of
fered to his road than the company pos
sessed or could obtain. Traffic men esti-
mate that $4,000 more could be adj
vantageously used at once than are avail
able. At some trade centers the blockade
At Pittsburg industrial prosperity Is threat
ened by the inability of the railroads to sup
ply furnaces and mills with fuel. 1t is
said that nearly sixty thousand workmen
are temporarily idle on this account. The
supply OF coal is sufficient, but the rail-
roads cannot handle it. On one day of last
week twenty-five blast furnaces in the
Pittsburg district were obliged to shut
down for lack of fuel because the railroads
could not deliver it. For more than a
week." says a Pittsburg paper, ''some Of
the merchant furnace interests have not
had a single car of coke pass through the
blockaded Conway yards. In these yards
there about four thousand cars,
the movement of which Is blockaded. Mines
are idle throughout the Pittsburg district
because enough cars cannot be obtained.
An estimate of the number of men so
thrown idle places the figure at 10000 and
at time when the output is sorely need
ed These men are losing in daily wages
about $66,000" All this Is due to a con-
gestion of traffic. There have been times
when the railroads complained of dull bust
ness, but now it is a plethora of traffic
that troubles them. They are paralyzed

HOME PRODUCTS.


To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
1t is strange that the men and firms en-
gagged in manufacturing in Indianapolis do
not advertise their wares in the. daily pa
pers. large majority of the citizens of
Indianapolis have no idea of the number
and size of our factories, or the vast
amount of material they use and the i'm
mense quantity OF their finished output,
merely because the owners OF the factories
never advertise in our home journals. Is
Ii any wonder that people send away
from home for wares that are made right
at our own doors. when the makers never
let their existence be known in any public
manner? Merchants and manufacturers
who depend on wage earners for trade can
materially increase that trade and enable
1t TO buy more and pay for what 1t buys
by handling goods made by the factories
that employ these wage earners.
indianapolis merchants and manufacture
ers who send away for wares that are
made in Indianapolis are only encouraging
others to send away for wares that are
made by these same manufacturers. The
moral of all this Is that should patron
lie home industries If we would become a
great manufacturing city. Let your light
so shine that Ii may be seem If every
factory In this city were to take but two
inches of space in the Sunday Journal
TO advertise it's own products there would
not be room for any reading matter.

CHARGE WAS TOO GENERAL.
Supreme Court Reverses Decision in
Fake Foot Racing Case.

Under a decision made by the Supreme
Court yesterday John S. Johns and John
p. Iaughn. who were given from two to
fourteen years in the penitentiary from
Franklin county, in June, 1901, on the
charge of being mixed up in a fraudulent
foot race. will regain their liberty. The
court holds that the prosecuting attorney
was not specific enough in the information
filed against the men and that the charge
of fraud and duress was too general. The
information filed by the prosecution was
that John p. Haughn. A. III. King. John
s. Johns and ]. c. Stillson, OF Franklin
county. did sntice, persuade and allure
one Edward w. Duvall to a highway" on
the pretense that Perry Ballard and J. c.
Stillson would run a race for SLIGO. The
schemers are charged with compelling Du-
vail TO lose N.7o0.
In handing down his opinion Judge Gil
lett said: "Duress and fraud may take
forms innumerable and the presence of
these words in the charge could but serve
TO admonish a person accused that such a
case would be sought 10 be established
against him. but they would not be al all
calculated to advise him OF the character
OF the evidence that he must expect TO
meet. In many civil cases pleadings have
been condemned that attempted TO aver
duress or fraud I'm general terms"

FOREST RESERVE NEEDED.
State Forestry Boards Recommends
ton to Governor Durbin.

The State Board of Forestry has recon-
mended to Governor Durbin that the next
Legislature be asked to appropriate money
to provide a perpetual forestry reserve OF
not less than 1900 acres Of waste land, cost
ing not more than IS per acre. The recon-
mendation is made also that an annual ap-
preparation of s1.5e an acre be made to plant
and care for trees. The reserve is sug-
gested to educate the people Of the State
in the commercial value of forestry.
The amount of timber land I'm Indiana, as
stated by the report of the secretary OF
the State board, Is given as 10000 acres
of heavy timber, 1906 acres of second
growth timber OF the second grade. and
g. ass acres of thin, wood-pasture timber.
OF the original vast acreage Of timber. 49,
993 o40 acres, which once covered the State,
there remains only about one-seventy-fi
of the former acreage The report Of the
secretary indicates that the timber supply
of the State is rapidly dwindling. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that there Is prac-
tically no effort made to reforest sections
of the State where the timber has disap-
peared.
The report shows that there are thou
sands of acres of land in Indiana good for
timber growing yet unfit for agriculture
These lands could be made to produce a
supply of timber of the utmost value for
use in Indiana factories. There are 2.4l3
manufacturing institutions In the State, and
of these 747 use lumber as a primary ma
terial and the others use IL in some FORM
The report says that the good agricultural
lands must and will be used for farming
and the waste and broken lands. which
are unfit for good farming, should be Gull
tivated for timber and made 10 produce a
supply for the future needs of the State
There 692. 73s acres of such land in In
diana peculiarly fitted for timber growing.
This kind of land Is found prominently in
two sections of the State, the extreme
north and the south.
The report sets out what other States are
doing for forestry, and in comparison In
diana's annual appropriation OF 81 $50 Is in
significant. The recommendation is made
that two more members nc added to the
State Forestry Board, one to represent the
Hardware Dealers Association and the
other TO represent farming interests
