A pointer toward the promise of
continued good times is the action of
some of the great railroads of the
country in announcing plans OF i'm
provements. The Chicago Tribune
thinks these are fairly eloquent in
their significance as bearing on the
Industrial outlook. The New York
Central management will spend s4,-
600, 900 this year for general improve
ments on the Boston and Albony road.
1t will also spend s25, 900, 900 on the
reconstruction OF its New York CITY
terminal and in the installation of
electric service there. The Union and
Southern PsciHc roads will spend $780,
000,0 reducing grades and shorten
Ing: lines. The Pennsylvania will be-
gin next month the expenditure Of
CSC. 900. O0o for its New York terminal
its washington station and improve
ments at Pittsburg. Here is $780,

Killed at Culver.

Eli Klingelsmith, Of Cass county, a
Vandalia brakeman, met death be.
tween two cars near Culyer Saturday
afternoon. He was on freight No. %,
north bound. Near Culver, the train
was to pick up car and KlingelSmith
stepped down to uncouple the cars.
In some manner he got caught and
was mashed SO badly that he died
shortly after the accident.
He was taken to Culver by the
members of the crew where medical
attention was given, but he was hurt
internally and survived but few min
utes after reaching that place. The
crew left him in care of an undertaken,
after notifying the local offices and
proceeded on the run.
The body was taken to Logansport
Sunday morning and was shipped to
Ridgeville where his relatives live.
Klingelsmith was young man and
was well liked by all his associates.
He had been in the employ of the
Vandalia about a year. He was in
line for promotion and would shortly
have been given better position but
for his sudden death.

Sol Hathaway, editor of the India
napolis independent, probably knows
as much about tobacco as any other
man in Indiana and he declares that
the Indianapolis News and the Senti-
mel have become the avowed organs of
the tobacco trust.
Referring to the News article which
has been printed in this paper he says:
To be consistent the News should at
once urge the removal of the restric-
tion placed by law against the sale of
int0xicantS to minors, for ''in matters
of this kind it is not such bad idea
toleaAe things to parents and teach
ers" fI
We hope Senator Parks will not be
disconnected by the presence of the
trusts agert and his hirelings in the
senate and house, Neither should ne
fear the influence of any paper
that tries to bolster up a
traffic that is doing more to under
mine the young manhood of Indiana
in one year than the free and unre-
stricted sale Of whiskey could do in
five Yeas, for it is an EVIL that is in
dulged in by boys and even children
in secret until ruin is wrought, while
indulgence In intoxicating drinks
brings about its own discovery and
gives parents chance to interpose and
save their Toys.
Mr.. Parks can fortify himself with
facts and figures concerning the evil
effects Of cigarette smoking by con-
sulting the records of the several in
sane hospitals in this state, as well
of chiefs of police in the various cities.
All the facts, all the argument, every
principle of decency involved in the
issue of right vs.. wrong, is on his side
of the cigarette question, and no man
or newspaper or legislator can oppose
the measure he has introduced and es-
cape suspicion. The tobacco trus0 is
powerful organization, and will
spend thousands of dollars for the
privilege of carrying on its deadly
traffic in cigarettes In Indiana for two
years more, but we do not believe 1T
can buy enough members to defeat
the measure if Senator Parks can get
fair and square vote on it in the
senate and house.

West Township Smallpox Cases.

The case of Amzi Heminger who
was attacked with smallpox over a
week ago, is severe, but he will prob
ably pull through all right.
His family and another family were
exposed, and while none of them have
yet taken the disease it is probable
that several of them will be in bed in
few days.
Both families. nine persons in all.
are quarantined and the school at
West school house is closed.
Trustee Hall has taken all precau-
tions necessary to prevent contagion
and there is no danger of the disease
spreading.

The Root bill for the reorganization
and equipment of the militia on the
same basis as the regular army, while
1t has attracted little attention. is a
most important measure. The militia
will be armed the same as the regulars.
A second volunteer force of 100, 900
men having experience in any branch
of the federal or state service, but
whose labor in time Of peace will con-
sist of an occasional drill, will be re-
tanned for special service without
much pay. The change which that
law will make in the National Guard
can be understood when it is stated
that only 1900 Of the $4,000 men
have the modern service rifle Of the
United States.

The Doctor Of the Future.

Thomas A. Edison, the wizard cleo
trician and inventor says:
1.-THE doctor of the future will give
no medicine. but will instruct bis pa.
tient in the care of the human frame,
in diet and in the cause and proven.
tion of diseases.
Surgery, diet, antiseptics-these
three are the vital things of the. fu.
ture in the preservation of the health
of humanity. There were never sc
many able minds at work on the prob
lens of disease as now, and all theil
discoveries are tending to the simple
truth that you can't improve on ma.
ture.

The attorney general Of Illinois. In
bis annual report, recommends an
amendment to the state antitrust
Law eonferring the power Of injunction
upon courts to restrain the formation
Of pools, trusts and combinations, and
also restraining the doing of business
by persons firms OF corporations that
have entered into al unlawful cons
spiracy In violation of the common or
OF Statue law. Under such a provi-
sion as that injunction might become
an efficacious remedy for the enforce
ment of antitrust laws.

Would Tax Dogs.

Representative Sherman has pre-
pared an odd dog tax bill.
1t provides that township assessors
shall collect so cents for each dog on
making their rounds, and that the
rest of the tax shall be levied as other
taxes, according to the value of the
dog. The appraisement shall be by
the owner of the dog, but the bill has
a provision that Mr.. Sherman believes
will make the dog owner report the
value high enough.
1t provides that the owner
of dog shall be paid the price he
sets upon the animal in case the dog
is killed by somebody.

Some Little Keynotes From Governor
Durbin's Message.

The best politics is exemplified in
fidelity to official duty and the pro.
lection of the interests of those whom
we serve.
Each individual taxpayer of Indiana
is stakeholder in the great business
affairs that SO largely form the respon.
sible duties of state administration.
The steadfast purpose of the COM
monwealth should be to free itself of
debt ane interest and then, maintain
this condition.
The individual free from financial
shackles and the commonwealth lnde-
pendent of bonds and b0ndholders,
combine both abstract and concrete
evidence of prosperous conditions and
relative to the state are inviting to
investments, business enterprise and
substantial citizenship.
There is an approximate identity
between the individual in debt mort
gagged by fixed charges of interest, and
the state, which is but the composite
of its citizenship, with bonds and at
tendant coupons inexorably sapping
tolls from the treasury.
There never was greater demand
for careful and economical business
administration of local public trusts
THAI at present. The careless and
and ShiftleSs handling Of public rev.
enues Inevitably produces extravaganza
and deficits, and in this age of prac-
tical economics there is no room or
reason for prodigality, political pen
sions or selfish interest.
Not only IN the receipt and disburse-
ment ct taxes and fees is there care
and judgment to be exercised, but a
paramount obligation to loyalty to the
requirements of the statutes must be
enforced. Any haphazard, tentative
policy of dealing with the finances of
the public is a monstrous wrong, and
can but resultin extravaganza, waste
and official scandal.

The agreement recently made by
the Attorney General of the United
States and the officers Of the CONNER
ciai Cable Company as TO the terms on
which the new Pacific cable was laid,
cleared the way legally for the COM
pletion of an undertaking OF the
widest interest. Until the present
year the s.world chasm:" as the Pacific
basin has been POLITICALLY called on &C

passing depths, defed the cable-layers;
they found it more economical to take
the longer way round the earth.
There is something sentimental In
thi; conquest of the Pecific seas. A
little strand about an inch in diameter
contains, not only the delicate copper
wires through which the electric cur
rent travels, but the material for pro-
tecting them against the environing
forces of nature. A casing OF hemp,
tar and rubber prevents leakage of the
