Justice Demands 1t.

Developments in the Red Austin
or Thomas Edward Clark. affair dur
ing the last "a hours or so are no.
calculated to increase public conf
dence. On the contrary they place
the affair in a worse light than ever
While they may not confirm what
pople are thinking they at least
take it more imperative than ever
that an investigation of the whole
case will be made.
Justice demands this. The ugly
stories that have been current since
Austin became free man involve the
reputation and honesty of men and
justice TO them on the one hand and
to the people on the other requires
that this matter be sifted to the bot
tom. If no wrong has been commit
ted no man need fear the most
searching investigation If wrong has
been done by any man or men then
they should be made to suffer the ex
treme penalty.-South Bend Tribune

For Friends of Education.

Teachers, friends and patrons OF
our common schools, 1906, is past
and gone, and faded from our lives.
Its months, weeks, days and hours
are numbered among the things that
were.
1t has gone, and with It mnay glo-
rious throng;
Oh happy dream. Its mark is on each
brow;
It's shadow is in each heart.
1t came to us so readily,
And lived with us so steadily,
And long has it been with us;
And much JOY has it given US;
A jollier year we shall not SEE.
1t was a friend to you and me.

hope or despair, Happiness or misery
We look in vain for a response

and wait. We "hope on" and hope
evr;;" with faith and confidence.
Fellow teachers and friends, let II:
meet the New Year" with gladness
and let us ali look forward and not
back, up and not down" Let us bic

lingering regret, and welcome the
"New" for in it are garnered and
treasured all our hopes and joys tina
may be realized.
Then may we not hope that as the
New Year is begun,
The wild current of life more
smoothly may run;
And the old rock of darkness which
may rise to our sight,
Be changed to the brightness OF glo
rious light?
Now teachers and friends we Civ,
you good cheer,
And wish you all happy, happ,

Favor Depository Law.

The Indianapolis Star has submit
ted to the lawmakers of the state
the following questions:
1. Are you in favor of the enact
ment of the public depository law by
the coming legislature?
2. If so, what rate of interest do
you think the banks should pay on
public funds?
OF the list of men who have an
swered the questions there is but one
opposed and he declares that he is in
favor of such law if it is based on
practicable methods.
The general concensus of opinion
is that the rate of interest to be paid
by the banks on public funds should
be low and that the authorized de-
pository should not be chosen by
bids as it is pointed out that the
weaker banks would naturally bid the
highest for the funds.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Very Large Attendance, Interesting
Discussions and Valuable Infor-
nation Impaired.

There was a large attendance Al;
the opening session of the institute
this year and many new faces were
present showing that the subject oi
farming is eliciting much attention
and the farmer is finding thar he
must keep posted, that he must un-
derstand the soil, know what crops
are best adapted to his farm and how
best TO dispose of those crops. Mus.
know what to feed his stock to Sc
cure best results and a hundred other
things to which in times past he
gave little attention, consequently
the institute discussions are very val
liable and the successful farmer well
understands that he cannot afford to
miss them.

other prominent institute workers
were on the program for Friday.
Grass and forage crops, the care and
management of live stock were dis
cussed.

cattle, horses and sheep gave thei'
methods which have proven success
full in growing and marketing fine

The principal feature of the even
ing session was the address of c ]
Whistler on Making and Unma'.inc
Homes" He impressed or at least
tried to impress the idea that the
farm should be real home for the
farmer and his family. That it should
be the one spot which in all the fut
ure each member of the family should
remember with pleasure, and he
showed that there was scarcely any
home so lowly that II could not be
made home of culture and refine
ment, home where all the members
of the family worked in harmony an !
felt that the interests of one was the
interest," Of ALL Wealth could no

By a significant coincidence, the
decline in the money rates and the
rise in stocks occur almost simultan
eously with the publication of the
official figures of the secretary of ag-
riculture, which show the largest ag-
gregate of farm products which the
United States ever produced. This is
close 70 100000. Of course, no
otisr country ever showed an aggre-
gate of farm products of half this
value. As the farm is still at the
basis Of the country's interests, pros
perity for the farmer means good
times for everybody. The cereal
crops foot up a higher aggregate
than ever before Cotton breaks ali
the records, except that for 1904
when the crop was about 100000
bales, or little over 1,0OO,000 in ex
cess of the yield of 1906. In these
big crops the railways see large traf-
&c and earnings for 1907, and hence
the rise in stocks has basis that is
tangible. Silver is advancing, the
mines o. Colorado and other parts
of the v.st which closed when that
metal went dow a few years ago are
reopening, and new element in the
country's productive forces will soon
be in operation. This will add to the
demand for labor, increase the work
of the railways, quicken many sorts
of industries; and add to the sum OF
the general prosperity.
