Indians Forced a Compromise.

The constitutional convention of
Oklahoma has quarreled bitterly over
the proposal to make State prohibit
ton a provision of the Constitution,
and, curiously enough, the Indian
delegates are said to have favored
the action. Fifty or sixty such dele
gates are members of the convention,
nearly all of them well educated, in
telligent men, The white delegates
from Oklahoma were willing enough
to provide for prohibition in the part
of the new State now known as In
dian Territory, but the Indians. while
willing enough to have it there, were
determined that there should be no
discrimination and forced the COM
promise which provides that State
wide prohibition shall be submitted
to the people as separate issue. AS
a beginner in the matter of self-gov-
eminent the red man shows ability.

Qualified Insanity Experts. |"

When Charles Reade, half CEN
fury ago, wrote Hard Cash" he con-
WINGED a good many people that the
physician who makes a speciality OF
insanity is likely, sooner or later, to
become little touched himself.
Hard Cash" was written before
the day of the professional insanity
expert" but Reade's differences and
deductions apply directly to that
individual as to the superintendent OF
the private asylum depicted in "Har
Cash" We can not read the testi-
mony of one o. the high-priced
adopts today without acquiring the
idea that here is man who is at
least monomaniac, if he is not gen.
orally irresponsible.
The hair splitting, the involved
statements, the didactic manner and
the pompous dignity of the average
expert" combine to give him the air
of crank man who cherishes
one idea and subordinates all others
to it. He is the victim of egomania
ranging from adolescent to senile.
To put such men in the position of
passing upon mems lives or liberty is
preposterous.-Chicago Chronicle

Mrs. Mary E. How died at the
home of her daughter Mrs. Harley
A. Logan in this city, Wednesday
evening, March 13, 1907, aged 65
years and months.
Deceased was born in Ohio her
maiden name was Cummins. She
came to this state and in 1868 was
united in marriage with David How,
the deputy sheriff OK Marshall coun-
ty, and afterwards sheriff for four
years. Mr.. How died eight years ago
and she resided on their fine farm
southwest of this city until failing
health compelled her to make her
home with her daughters.
Her death came after a long and
very painful illness of cancer For
three weeks previous to her death
she could take no nourishment
Mrs. How was one of Marshall
county's excellent women and she
reared good family. She was an ear
nest Christian and had been for
many years member of the Presby-
terrain church. She leaves three

The Sage Benefaction.

Mrs. Russell Sage has given $1O,-
100000 to endow foundation to be
known as the Sage Foundation. the
object of which is ''the Improvement
of social and living conditions in the
United States" Among the means to
that end are mentioned research,
work, publication, education, the es-
Enlistment and maintenance of char
tiles, agencies and institutions, and
also the aid of any such agencies and
institutions already established. The
scheme seems rather indefinite, but
we have no doubt that it will work
out into something practical and use
full. 1t is certainly well to "investi-
gate and study the causes of adverse
social conditions" for after such
study it may be easier to Suggest
how these conditions can be RENE.
died or ameliorated" 1t is not pro
posed to do what is now being done
effectively by other agencies or indi
viduals, but rather ito take up the
larger and more difficult problems
and take them up so far as possible
in such manner as to secure coopera-
ton and aid in the solution"
In a word it seems fair to say that
any means calculated to attain the
desired end will be permissible
Charities may be maintained, or char
tiles may be established with the idea
that they shall maintain themselves.
New institutions may be started, or
old ones may be helped. There are
so many ways in which it is possible
to improve social and living condi-
tons in the United States" that il;
was, of course, necessary to allow
great latitude in the administration
of this great enterprise Much de-
ponds on the character and wisdom
of the men charged with this duty
of administration There are many
problems which will fall within the
scope of this new plan for social bet
terment Though the problems may
not be solved, something may be
done to help conditions. OF course,
the gift is a noble one. We are sure
that much good will come of tin
dianapolis News.

New Laws in Force.

With the adjournment of the State
Legislature new laws containing
emergency clauses are now in effect,
and ignorance of the law is no de,
Tense for violation.
1t is now unlawful for parents will
fully to abandon their children or re-
fuse to provide for them. The new
law provides that the judge of the
court in such cases may order the
wages of the parent applied TO the
support of the child.
Under the provisions of the new
pure food law it is now a punishable
offense to have in ones possession
adulterated food. drugs, meats, milk,
butter or cream, wild game or fish.
or to sell such articles from unsani-
tary places of business. Unsanitary
slaughter houses are absolutely pro-
hibied. A maximum fine of 500 is
provided for the conviction of any
and all persons interfering with the
work of the food inspectors. The
penalty for violations of the pure
food law itself is a fine of from $40
to $40 for the first offense, s25 to 500
for the second offense and $500 and
Imprisonment for the third offense.
Under the Hanna bill, which took
effect upon its passage, whoever fell
oniously steals the property of an
other, of less than $25 value, is guilty
of petit larceny, and may be sent TO
theh penitentiary for term of from
one TO eight years, sent to Jail for a
term not to exceed one year or fined
in sum not to exceed $500, and dis
franchised for a period to be deter
mined by the court The penalty for
petit larceny under This law is heavier
than under the old law. Upon Sec
ond conviction the prisoner shall be
punished for grand larceny.
The Farber bill, which is also IN
force, makes the man who deserts his
wife for any cause other than i'm
moral conduct, leaving her without
| support, liable to be sent to prison
for a period of from one to three
years and DISTINGUISHED, fined in {
sum of not less than $40 nor more
than 500, or sent to jail for periot
of one year.

The Automobile Law.

The new automobile law which re-
quires drivers of cars to reduce the
speed to six miles per hour when
passing vehicles drawn by horses or
other farm animals may be little
severe on some of the scorchers. But
it should be. There are some fools
who persist in running automobiles
on the highways at a forty-mile
speed regardless of the rights of per-
sons driving teams and that the law
has been made severe is the fault OF
these cranks. Now let them take
their medicine and pay the penalty
of all fools. 1t S case of the
scorcher getting scorched and let 'em

Two Ditch Laws.

The late legislature passed two
ditch laws, supplanting the old
law OF which SO much complaint
has been made. One of these was
the Kelley law, the other Parks
Tyndall bill, each being supple
mentary to the other. The Parks
Tyndall law takes up the whole
subject of construction and re-
pair of bitches. 1t places ditch
repair in the hands of the town
ship trustee, after the surveyor
has made the allotments tor the
cleaning. While the law provides
for the placing of permanent
markers to establish allotments,
this feature of tn law will be i'm
possible of enforcement, as in
some cases this would require the
placing of markers foot apart
for a mile at time The law
limits the expenditures on this
account to ten dollars a mile. The
trustee is required to serve notice
on the people along the ditch that
he will be present on a certain
day to view the ditch, but he
must view at least one mile at a
time, and not make trips every
time few feet have been clean
cd. The trustee may if he wishes
wait until the entire ditch has
been completed before receiving
It 1t any of the allotments are
not done by the time he views
the ditch he may sell these allot-
ments and the expense from that
time falls on the man who has
failed to do his duty.
The surveyors costs are limit
e. to four dollars a day and the
allotments must not cost over SIC
a mile. Lawyers are limited in
the fees they may charge foI
drawing up petitions in ditch cas-
es, and the ditch commissioner is
limited to the amount of money
he may receive. The Kelley law
repeats section ten of the ditch
law OF 1905, the section providing
for the repair of bitches. Under
section ten of the law of 1905 the
land owners did not have an op.
portunity to do their own work
or repairs and the cleaning of the
ditch was left in the control o.
the surveyor and was extremely
expensive.

SUED FOR DIVORCE.
Loyalty of Mrs. Walter Brown, Wife
of Elkhart Wrecker, Brings Mis-
treatment.

Spurned in her very efforts to
stand by her convicted husband and
TO console him in his hour of sorrow
and disgrace, Mrs. Bertha Brown, the
beautiful wife of Walter Brown, the
Elkhart bank wrecker, filed suit for
divorce in the Superior Court here
Tuesday.
Denied a new trial, deserted by
most of the men he had formerly
counted among his friends, stunned
by many of his former acquaintance
and downhearted and sick, Brown,
soon after his conviction on the bank
wrecking charge, found himself with
one faithful friend. That friend was
his wife.
Her heart bleeding for her suffer
ing husband, Mrs. Brown left her
home in Indiana and moved to Leav-
enworth, Kas., among strangers that
she might be nearer him. She rent
ed a modest house there and an
nounced that her husbands plight
would be made as light as she could
make it,
The faithful wife's reward for the
sacrifices she made for her husband
was, according to information from
Leavenworth. mistreatment from
him. 1t was said there that Brown
soured on everything and everybody
soon after entering the prison and
that he grew peevish and irritable
While he lived in Elkhart Brown
was prominent in politics as we'll as
in business, and he looked to his
former political associates to secure
pardon for him on account of the
ill-health that overlook him soon af-
ter his admission to prison, but for
the most part these politicians re-
fused to take part in his behalf
Finding that many of those upon
whom he had depended had deserted
him, Brown fell into the habit of rail
ing about the ingratitude of his for
mer associates, and his health was so
bad for some time that he was forced
to go to the prison hospital frequent
Ily. And through all of these trials
Mrs. Brown stood by him.
The beginning of the end of the
woman's sacrifices for Brown came
one day, it is understood, when
Brown chided her because, as he
charged she had not done all she
could toward getting him pardoned
The scene that followed the scold-
| ing so touched the heart of the war
den of the prison that he afterward
upbraided Brown for the treatment
he had accorded his wife and told
the prisoner that the repetition of
such an offense would mean that he
would be forbidden the privilege of
seeing Mrs. Brown any more
Not long after the wife had taken
up her abode at Leavenworth she
found that her presence there was
not the boon to her suffering hus-
band which she had believed it would
be and she returned to Indiana. She
has been resident of Indianapolis
ever since coming to Indiana. Al,
present she is living at the Collonade
on North Meridian street-Indianap-
oils Star.

Nebraska Land Thieves.

A year or SO ago Bartlett Rich
ards and three associates, all Off
Gals of the Nebraska Land and
Feeding Company, were found
guilty at Omaha of illegally fenc-
ing government lands. Their
spade ranch" had 100000 acres
under fence, half of which was
government land, from which
settlers were excluded. Despite
the fact that their offense was
peculiarly fragrant and that the
government was doing its best to
put an end 10 such abuses, they
were let off with finees of $500
and Imprisonment sentences OF
six hours. They spent the six
hours in the custody of the Unit
Cd States marshal at the Omaha
Club.
1t took just long enough for
President Roosevelt to make GER
tain of all the facts before the
United States marshal and the
United States district attorney
were removed from Office and
new officials with better under
standing of their duties appoint
ed. Then new indictments were
found.
Monday these same four mer
were sentenced, two of them tc
$500 fines and year in Jail anc
the other two to $500 fines anC
eight months in Jail
Nebraska has suffered worse
than any other state from lane
thefts of this kind, the estimate
being that 100000 acres have
been illegally inclosed. Suits ovel
Enclosures covering half that are;
have already been brought.
Apparently the convicted mer
will have plenty of company from
among their business associate:
and competitors before theii
terms expire.

Distributing Rockefeller's Cash.

Frequent distribution has been
recently made of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's fortune. The disposers there
of who are SO lavishly giving
away his millions say they are in
a position to know what they are
talking about including, as they
do, members of young Mr.. Rock
efeller's Bible class, intimate
friends of men who are acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Rockefeller, and re-
liable gentlemen who have had
a revelation in a normal and sat-
isfactory way. The wealth thus
distributed ranges from $5O,00O,-
900 to $500,000,0o0, and enriches
and g1addens many regions.
Without questioning the good
faith of the men who arc dispos-
ing of Mr.. Rockefeller's estate, it
might be suggested that perhaps
it would facilitate and strengthen
matters if Mr.. Rockefeller could
be induced to express an opinion
on the promises. A personal
statement from the gentleman,
who possibly is ignorant of all
that is being, or going To be, ac-
complished in his name and with
his money, would carry with it
an air of conviction that in fleet
ing moments of doubt and de-
preston is now lacking. 1t may
be that, despite these renewed
assurances of close friends and
trusted advisers, Mr.. Rockefeller
has not fully made up his mind
as to the precise nature of his
future benefactions, and is still
undecided, Notwithstanding the
great help he gets from perusal
of the daily papers.-Chicago
