ONE MAN REFORM IN INDIANA.
Governor Manly Will Not Appoint Men
 Mhn Drink.

Letter to New York Sun. Although J. Frank Hanly, Governor Iof Indiana, has been in office but four months, he has caused a great change sfn the moral tone of the State. Three fmen 1t is true, have paid the penalty 4of their lives in the effort to carry out his policies and there has been some 3rioting and disorder in few places. Sbut these were localities in which there #had never been any effort to enforce sthe liquor laws.
 I The Governor has made 1t rule that Hno man who drinks shall be appointed zto office, and his appointees have eX- Tended the rule to those whom they &n turn. choose In all the cities Swhere boards of metropolitan police Commissioners are appointed there Is how a stirct enforcement of the saloon &aws and the laws against gambling The Governor has positively refused sto hear arguments in favor of 1iberaH- Nv toward saloon keepers and gam 3blers. He goes upon the theory that 6he law-abiding people are In matori- zy in every community and that the Hnost dangerous condition that can *bvertake a people Is where there is acuuiescence in the unrestrain- Sbd sway of the 1awless element
 An important rule, in line with the Governors policy, is that in all cities having boards of metropolitan police
 Commissioners no man who drinks
 shalI be on the police or detective #Force: that no officer shall enter a Balloon either when off or on duty, ex- #eent to make an arrest; that no mem- zber of the fire department shall enter
 h saloon, and that all persons seeking
 Appointment shall make affidavit that

they do not indulge in intoxicants.
 A noticeable result of the Governors policy Is the growing sentiment in favor of placing the police and fire departments of all cities under the metropolitan system. Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, Evansville and q few other cities have special charters under which the mayor ap- points all boards In these cities the law Is enforced only at long intervals and then only for a short time.
 As the blind tiger" came to vex the authorities when the sale of liquor was prohibited in country towns under the remonstrance future of the Nicholson law, so the bootleg saloon has ap- peared in the cities where the saloons are closed at il o'clock at night and on Sundays. This Is portable saloon. an individual standing in dark alley with a glass In one pocket and bottle in the other, and supplying the de- mands of the belated thirsty for fifteen cents drink.
 The individual is never found before the legal closing hour, but he is on hand at different places from II at night till 3 in the morning.

Hon. Thomas E. Knight of Greens boro was yesterday afternoon chosen as Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Alabama, Knights of Pythias, to succeed Grand Chancellor F. r. Nichols of Roanoke.
 " Mir. Knight was elected to this high est office in the gift of the Grand Lodge by a unanimous vote of the members or the Grand Lodge. 1t was an honor be- slowed for many years of earnest work in the cause Of Pythiantsm. and MT Knight received an ovation from ms friends and brothers.
 The Grand Lodge convened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock in the hall of the House of Representatives at the State Capitol with an almost reeord-b -breaking attendance. Every lodge within the Grand Domain of Alabama was repre- sentcd, and there were probably 2oO Knights in the hall.
 As soon as Grand Chancellor Nichols rapped for order and the r:cuai work of opening the Grand Lodge had been gone through, the new members of the Grand Lodge after presenting their credentials, were initiated into the Grand Lodge rank.

 Your committee is pleased to stats that the facts and data presented in its gratifying showing for the order as a whole. Growth during the year un- der consideration has been marked all along the line. In fact, the percentag6 gain, taken as a whole. was larger than for any year during the past five. The actual gain in membership ss shown to 1903, an increase of 11,492. We on better appreciate the significance Of these figures when we refer back to last years report of this committee ana learn that tho gain shown then was 2,149 less than for the previous year
 The number of limitations reported is 64,s65 as against 53,s67 for the year previous, a. gain of 10,998. Excellent as this is, the showing of an actual dee crease in suspensions Is even more gratifying: The total suspensiona were 32.17S as against 32.311 for th8 year before, decrease of 1s3.

 Money Invested In Bonds.
 Under a resolution adopted by the Grand Lodge in 1904 the Grand Chan eellor says the Ways and Means Com mittee has invested $S,760 in Alabama funding four per cent bonds, the money invested being the surplus fund of the order.
 Attention Is directed to the condi- ton of the membership and the finan- cial condition of the order and report is made on the Endowment Rank. In referring to the Endowment Rank MT. Nichols says:
 Allow me to say in this connection that the great Brotherhood of this do- main should give this feature of the order more consideration than 1t is re. ceiying Every Knight should see that his family has some protection in the Endowment Rank"

 Speaking of the Endowment Rank the report continues:
 T am pleased to note that this im- portant branch of our Order continues on the upgrade. The financial growth during the past four or five. years has been phenomenal The total resources has reached the magnificent sum of $1.Os6. 6.715.02, furnishing protection to 69.569 members in the sum of $11,236,- 500. The gain in our own Grand Do- main. however. Is not what 1t should be. We showed 127 sections last year with $5.120.000 fin force while we only have I29 sections this year with $5.157o0o in force.
 Tt is evident that the members do not appreciate the opportunity of se- curing protection for their families as ment Rank has already paid to families of deceased members $22,006. .1SS.09, 1t should have our serious consideration.
 Tn my report of last year to the Grand Lodge I recommended that steps be taken looking to the division of the State Into territories. This item was referred to a committee consisting of J. B.

After considering the matter with considerable care and investiga- this matter be referred to special committee in order that they might have sufficient opportunity to consider the proposition in all of it's phases, and report the results of their labors to this session of the Grand Lodge. The same committee was continued.
 Tt will be noticed that a number of the other Grand Domains have adopted this method in the prosecution of their work, with marked success, the results of which have been marked increase in membership and healthy condition of all the lodges in the State, and also the institution of new lodges where they are prospective"

Liquor an Ally of the Jap.

Baltimore Sun.
 The details of the Russian retreat from Mulkden toward Tai Pass. as giv- en by an eyewitness, pictures in the homely but emphatic language of a trader who had followed the Boer ex- odus from Pretoria under British pres sure the utter demoralization of Elm peror Nicholas forces. This eye-wit- ness states that many of the command CTS were maudlin and Irresponsible; that they seemed to care little about tho fate of the issues for which they were fighting, discouraged and disor- ganized perhaps by this condition of their superiors, threw away their equip ment, left their commissary behind and bofted in disorder in almost any di- rection that enabled them to escape what was to them then a magnified yellow peril" In the fall of Mukden. if the eyewitness story Is true, the historian must not overlook Japan's active and insidious ally. Intoxicants were as effective fin capturing Mukden as were the shells from the Japanese guns, and had the Japanese only known the fact they might have accomplished the capture of very large portion of the Russian army.
