Whisky Fills the Iails.

The Board of State Charities in its
forthcoming report will give some
striking figures relating to the num-
Der of persons imprisoned in the
pinety-two county jails of the state
and the Marion county workhouse
during the last twelve months on &C
count of drunkenness.
According to Amos w. Butter, se--
rotary of the board, drunkenness re-
suits in more Jail imrisonments than
other one cause. During the year
Oct. 81, 1906, 1920 persons
of whom 535 were women, were sen:
to Jail because of intoxication. This
number is 40 per cen of the whole
number admitted to the jafls during
the year. The cost to the counties for
fees and board of these 1920 per
sons amounted to 4~3,117.7s.

With Hoosiers at the head of the

Indiana lids fair to retain her place
in the center of the political stage.
Indiana has been represented in eth
er first or second place on one of the
national tickets nearly every time for
forty years. The Hoosier takes to
politics as naturally as a duck takes
to water and politics is usually the
better for it. We can not say, how
etesg in view of the happenings at
French Lick that we are particularly
proud of the gentleman who for the
time being is at the head Of the ma

lacks a good deal of being represen-

He had made plans for much eff
