Makes Divorce More Difficult.

Cruel treatment is defined to mean
something more than harsh word in
a bill introduced by Senator Carl
Wood and amending the present d.
vorce law. Cruel treatment, according
to the measure, shall consist of a.
false charges of inhdelity, (2) gross
negligence of family or (3) assault
or violence. The Wood measure
omits as a cause for divorce failure
to provide. Senator Wood explains
that failure to provide is penal Of
tense and should not be classed as
cause for divorce.
The commission of an infamous
crime by husband or wife is retained
as legal cause, but it is provided
that the suit on such charge shall be
brought when the defendant is in
prison. 1t is provided also that di-
vorce shall not be granted on the un-
supported evidence of the petitioner

Latest News From Japan.

Tokyo, Feb. 3.-After a careful sur
vey of public feeling here regarding
the prospects of satisfactory solu-
ton of the San Francisco school con-
troversy it may be stated that while
the approach of the termination OF
the disagreeable affair is welcomed
yet the report from Washington tina
solution may be effected by mu-
tual treaty excluding the immigration
of laborers is generally disbelieved as
unreasonable.
According to the prevailing feeling
solution must be effected on Japan's
treaty rights pure and simple. How
ever, confidence continues that solu-
ton of the question will be reached
without the least sacrifice of Japanese
honor and prestige.

War Against Gar and Dog Fish.

From Lagrange county comes the
report that in order that "cannibal"
fish like the gar and dog fish which
infest the lakes of Indiana may be
summarily dealt with bill will be in
PRODUCED in the legislature to amend
the present fish and game laws EN-
towering wardens to spear these fish
According to an authori.- the gar
and the dog fish, both of which are
worthless, prey upon the game fish
of the lakes, and under the protection
of the present law against spearing
fish are rapidly increasing. The only
way that he can see 10 get rid of
them is by spearing. 1t is not de-
sired to put the spear in the hands
of all fishermen, since the tempta-
ton to stick" other kinds of fish
might prove too great, and therefore
be proposes to authorize the fish and
game wardens to proceed against the
"cannibals."

The County Surveyors.


The Citizen is not posted on the
provisions of the various ditch bills
which have been prepared for intro
duction into the legislature, but. there
is one provision which should not
be overlooked by the authors who are
seeking to do away with the object
ionable features of the present law,
and that is every county surveyor
should be practical civil engineer.
Under existing conditions anybody
can be elected to the Office, and to a
considerable extent anybody is. 1t is
true that the law says that the deputy
shall be a practical engineer, but as
a matter of fact the surveyor himself
undertakes more or less work which
needs technical supervision. 1t Is
stated that much of the dissatisfac-
ton with the present law can be
traced to the ignorance of county sur
veyors.-Culver Citizen

A leading trades paper says; Com
paratively few who read their daily
paper have any conception OF the
great increase in the cost of produc-
ing newspaper at present compared
with the cost of producing one %
years ago. 1t is safe to say that 1t
costs 100 per cent more to produce
a newspaper now than IT did then, and
the average newspaper is much larger
but is sold for less The theory thai
those engaged in the publication OF
newspapers have an easy proposition
and earn large dividends on their
money is all wrong. The facts are
that large percentage of newspapers
are barely making expenses, and
there is no other profession or bust
ness more severe on the nerves than
journalism.

Hughes and Hearst.

Gov. Hughes, aside from being a
man of his word, is man of great
character. He is magnanimous in the
largest sense. During the campaign
Mr. Hearst accused him of being the
tool of corporations and with being
attached to the party machine. Since
the election there hasn't been word
of praise Instead Hearst has charged
the governor with breaking the party
organization to construct a machine
of his own. On the other hand,
Hughes has favored a recount Of
votes in New York's notorious may
orally contest
Golfers Weekly contrasts the two
men and then draws the following
conclusions: Hughes is man,
Hearst is loud but idle sound" And
isn't that the truth with large T?
Hearst is a very poor imitation and
the present governor is the real thing
He is head and shoulders above the
average.

Clifford Pinchot, in charge of the
forestry bureau of the Agricultural
Department, estimates that the forest
reserves of the United States, which
already contain 1000, 900 acres, or
about 100000 square miles, are worth
81, 400, 100000, and that the standing
timber upon them is worth 100000
900. These reserves have an area
equivalent to that of New England,
New York, Delaware. New Jersey,
Pennsylvania. Maryland, Virginia and
the District of Columbia combined
He expects not only to make the for
est service self-supporting, but to
make an annual income of $4,000, 900
year for the public treasury by sell
ing the dead and down timber and
cutting out that which is ripe and
should lie removed. This money, after
paying the expense of maintenance.
t is pro. ,osed to divide beteewn the
federal treasury and the states in
which the forest reserves are located
In 1905 the revenue from timber sold,
the permits for grazing and other
sources amounted to $4,000; in 1906
it was $763,533, and in 1907 it will
probably amount to something over a
million dollars. Nor are these the on
ly possible sources of revenue to the
government from the foress reserves
1t is proposed to sell the water power
to manufacturing industries at the
rate of as cents per horse power per
year, and that should bring an addi-
tional income of several million dol
lars.
1t is expected that the forest re-
serve bureau of the Agricultural De-
partment will become self-sustaining
by the year 1911. Lass'ye more than
million dollars were appropriated
for its support, and this year about
100000 reduction of 100000. The
idly in the future, as soon as the bu-
reau completes its organization and
builds system of roads, trails and
bridges by which the interior of the
forests may be reached. AT present it
is impossible TO get at much of the
dead and down timber. and enormous
losses from fire and wastage take
place for that reason every year.

Engineers and Rules.

H. l.. EIdler, a locomotive engineer
OF the Pennsylvania Company, pro-
tests against the statement of Engi-
neer Gallaton that, engineers COM
monty violate rules, and states that
they are not violated to any appre-
ciahle extent on his road; and he
thinks they are not on others. He
regards Gallaton's statements as
rank injustice both to the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers and
the different railway companies This
presents an issue OF fact as to which
the engineers themselves are best in
formed, and as to which the public
would have some difficulty in forming
an accurate judgment.
But to some extent the question Is
clear to anybody. Calhoun admits
that he was responsible for the
Woodville wreck. Gallaton says thai
he did fourteen days time for run
ming a crossing Evidently some
engineers do violate rules, and that is
where the brotherhood has the oppor-
tunity to do something to protect its
members and to protect the public.
Why not clear its skirts of response
0ility for accidents by declaring fatty
against violation of rules and making
it a cause for expulsion from the or
der? As The Star has urged, the rail
road employees have it in their power
to aid largely in the prevention of ac-
cidents by relieving the man who
obeys rules strictly of any danger of
being called grandmother" and
condemning any one who does violate
rules.
On last Friday John Mitchell adj
dressed the Senate on the need of
better laws for the protection OF
workingmen in this country. In the
course of his remarks he said:
1T is we'll to receive a thousand
dollars for the loss of an eye or leg.
but it is better by far for the man
as for society-that the leg be not
lost Hence the demand-justly and
strenuously made-that all possible
measures be taken to prevent acct
dents"
That Is true, and surely working
men themselves should do what they
can to prevent accidents, especially in
railroad operation where the disas-
trous results are likely to reach doz
ems of helpless passengers. Why
should railroad men ask the public for
laws for their protection if they will
not stand for the absolute enforce
ment of rules for their protection an j
for the protection of the public? The
Star would suggest to railroad men
that they could do nothing tina
would more certainly bring them
public favor than to make a resolute
stand for absolute enforcement of SAT-
ty rules by members of their orders
Accidents cannot be prevented by
law. They are the results of human
agencies and every human being con
cerned should do what is in his pow
er to prevent Acknowledgements

EDITOR BoWSER's SPEECH.
Chesterton Senator Opposes the
$1,000 License Bill.

The high license bill has passed
the state senate and now goes 20 the
house where the outcome is by no
means certain.
When the bill was called up for its
third reading Senator Bowser of Por-
ter county who lis editor of the Ches-
terton Tribune made the principal
speech in opposition to the bill
1T is not my hope to kill the $1,000
liquor license bill; hope merely to
make my position on the liquor ques-
ton clear" said Senator Bowser, who
led in the discussion.
Senator Bowser in his address be-
fore the senate said he was opposed
to the measure because there was
nothing in it which would decrease
the number of saloons or nothing
which would benefit the wife and
children of the drunkard. He explain
ed that both the anti-saloon men and
the saloon men had opposed him in
his race for a senatorial position, and
that therefore he was not pledged in
any direction in regard to the liquor
question.
'The money to be raised by this
measure" said the senator, twill
come from the poor, fear, instead OF
the rich. The honest man who obeys
the law will not get license The
wealthy saloonkeeper who runs a
monte carlo, and who offers every in
ducement to get men into his saloon
will get the license"
1t was explained that Senator Bow
ser had attempted to get the commit
tee on public morals to incorporate
into the bill some of the provisions
of one of his liquor measures. He
asked the committee that a small pa 4
of The 81, 200 license fee be donate !;
to fund TO establish hospitals to
cure the drink habit He believed that
this would be of some direct benefit
to the drunkard and his family. The
committee refused.

Hurty's Hot Air.

DIR. ]. NJ Hurry, the medicine man
with the over-worked imagination,
told the members of the legislature
in the course of magic lantern lee
ture the other evening, that one-tliird
of them would go home with diseases
of the respiratory organs. The cap
itol is a very windy place, indeed, and
the only way Doctor Hurry, keeps
the breezes from settling on his
lungs is by keeping them at work all
the lime. The activity thus occasion
ed accounts for a good deal of the

February, Winters Friend.

February, as shown by the figures
for the month during the last s5
years is boon companion OF snow,

The warmest month was IN 1882,
with an average temperature of ~
degrees. In 1882 there was precipi-
tation of 7.2s inches. The greatest
snowfall for any twenty-four consec-
utive hours was Feb. 12, 1893 with 1875
inches. In 1889 and in 1902 the wind
blew at the rate of A miles an hour
on the Goth and 2Sth respectively.

The temporary abandonment of the
Philippines and Hawaii will be the
policy of this Government in the
event of war with Japan. A plan
of action has been mapped out at the
Navy Department and officials say
that at the first sign of hostilities the
four cruisers now on duty in the Phil
ippine waters will sail for the Suez
Canal. They will seek to save them
selves as resistance would be use
lss, leaving the islands to be taken
possession of by the Japanese. There
is not a seacoast gun for defense in
the Philippines. The object of this
plan is to save the cruisers from cap
ture or destruction.
A similar course will be followed
with reference to Hawaii. No sue
cessful defense could be made and
the Japanese would be permitted to
assume peaceable possession.

Automatic Block system.

The Chicago Tribune is authority
for the statement that the compulsory
adoption of the automatic block sys-
tenn by railroads will be recommend
ed to congress by the interstate COM
merce commission within a few days.
The commission has made an ex-
haustive inquiry into the cause of
railway accidents and has uncovered
some rather startling facts. There
are not more than $4,000 miles now
protected by the block system, and in
the case of most of these systems the
PRESSURE of traffic has resulted in prac-
tical discontinuance of all ordinary
