The republican state committee has
adopted a rule which will put an end
to excess vote control in joint sena-
torial and representative conventions.
Heretofore, In some districts COM
posed of two or more counties, it has
been possible for single county hav-
ing an excessive vote to overcome the
other counties and dictate nominations
Senator Presley Smith OF Paragon,
tried to secure the enactment of .
Law last winter to cure this injustice.
but 1t was killed In the house. This
senatorial district Is not affected by
the rule. Ours is regular senatorial
district and We have no joint repre-
sentative, consequently the rule does
not affect Marshall county. Counties
like St. Joseph and other large coun-
ties which have population sufficient
to give them one senator and joint
senator from some other county will
be allowed delegates, only on the num-
Der Of votes they can give for joint
senator or representative Is compared
With the number OF votes cast Ia the
county that joins.

Our Busy Coneressmen.

We hear so much about the talking
that goes on in congress, and SO little
about the things that are accom-
plished, especially in the first months
of session, that we are apt to regard
congress as an institution that is all
wind and no work. II the congress-
men want to defend themselves, how
ever, they need do nothing more thap
point to the number of bills they in
troduce. The mere labor OF consider
ing his own bills would seem almost
enough to keep the average congress-
man permanently busy.
The present congress Is starting out
gayly enough. After itsfirst week OF
work it was able to show over 5000
bills in the two houses together, and
its good work is still going on.
II we have nothing else to be thank
full for this week, we can at least fe-
joice that all these bills do not become
laws.

Senator John w. Parks, OF Plym-
outb, visited Purdue university Mon
day, and while IN this city called at
this office. In the session of 1901 Sem
ator Parks did much towards further
ing the scheme for the agricultural
building at Purdue. He was useful
and active member of the agricultural
committee and rendered valuable SER
vice in getting the $50. 900 appropriate
ed for this purpose. He was author
of the law increasing the allowance to
farmers institutes from 1000 to
$4,000, which was great relief to
DR.. Latta and others having manage
ment Of the institate work in the
state.
At the suggestion OF Governor
Mount he made the fight against the
live STOCK sanitary commission aw,
and succeeded 10 the repeal and abO-
lition of one of the most obnoxious,
useless and expensive junketing CON-
missions ever creat ted, and 81 lred in
its place the establishment of the Of
fee of State veterinarian, to which DIR.
Biting Of Purdue, was appointed
Mr.. Parks was the chairman of the
congressional apportionment COM
mittee and had the general manage
ment of the apportionment Of the
state which has given such general
satisfaction.
In the last session he was made
chairman of the first division Of the
judiciary committee, which is -proba
bly, the most important committee OF
the senate, and the highest mark of
confidence that could be shown him.
Senator Parks laid aside his committee
work last winter and led the fight in
the senate against the state school
supply bill. and succeeded in defeat
ing it. He was also the leader in Sc
curing the enactment of our present
forestry laws.
Senator Parks enjoyed the explicit
confidence OF the members OF the SEN
ate. and at all times did that which
he believed right. He was given credit
for being one of the hardest workes in
the legislature It Is understood that
bis friends will urge him to become a
candidate for denomination, and II he
wants the honor again, there ought
to be no question about his getting it.
John w. Parks is one of the men who
served in the Indiana legislature and
came ont Of It without q blemish, or q
blot upon his record for absolute hon.
esty and upughtness as . member,
and the Journal is glad to be able 10
pay this tribute to him: He was a

The defiant manner in which Tom
