The Jasper News thinks it is
dead easy" for the merchant in
small places TO meet the competi-
ton Of the big mail order houses
in the large cities, and gives an
illustration Of how to do it, as fol
lows; We have an example
right here in Jasper. Eighteen
years ago Hon. Frank Adams be-
gan business in this town with
only one Thousand dollars. lie
has persistantly advertised ever
since. He paid this paper as
much as $500 in one year for ad-
yertising,and today is worth over
$550,000, while some Of the mer-
chants who thought advertising
didn't pay, have either gone out
Of business, or are hammering
along in the same old hard time
rut. II the mail order houses
did not advertise Literally in
many ways the customers they
have gained ia small town, and In
the country, would not even know
OF their existence.

Fortune May Only Knock Once

Many young men have ideals
that are a snare and a delusioD.
Especially the boy who has been
raised by Independents parents,
in a degree OF ease, surrounded
by comfort and opportunities.
Two many imagine that the
world owes them a living" with.
out effort or merit. This is the
nemesis that follow too many.
You owe much TO yourself and
parents, but the world only owes
you an opportunity TO DO some.
thing for yourself. The youth
who sows 10 the wind win gather
the ~whirlwind, viii feed with the
swine ON husks. Misery and
want will be their lot and follow
them all the days Of their lives.
The spirit Of God win not always
strive with man. Wasted oppor.
tunities are pearls cast before
swine. These truths are as EN-
phaticas the thunderidgs Of Mt
Sinai for the festive graduate
and stuck up stiff. necked youth

There are several items
worthy Of mentioning in connec-
ton with these three cases. First
all three judges rendering the
decisions are men Of prominence
and wide experience Judge
Artman. vino has been on the.
bench i've years, has the record
of never having been reversed by
the supreme court As MS de
cision would operate TO curtail
the powers Of legislatures, he
holding that the alleged statute
granting permission to license a
saloon was merely an act Of the
general assembly and not a law.
1t is worthy Of note that he is a
legislator Of experience, he dur.
ing one session having been
speaker Of the house Of repre-.
sentatives. Judge Christian has
a like enviable reputation. Judge
Hutchinson is not new in this
line of work, he having formerly
been prosecuting attorney. Thus
far neither Of the three cases
have been repealed The attOr-
ney Tor the saloon IN one OF the
cases said, after a careful study
Of the decision, that no court
would or could reverse the de-
cision.
What a surprise it would be to
all parties if this much-mooted
question were nearing settle
ment along a line requiring no
additional Legislation or agitation
the courts merely holding that
the common law rights and the
statutes already in existence are
prohibitive and mandatory when
fairly interpreted. Globe. Dem

IN the case Of the Hartman rail

up to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for whatever action

partment Of Justice. The re
port OF the special attorneys in
the case is a long review OF oil
that has been brought out in the
several hearings. 1t is Of most
interest in its conclusions which
are to the effect that Mr.. Harri-
man was the sole head and au-
thority in all railroad matters
and that through his manipula-
ton, he had absolutely killed
competition over an area a third
the size Of the United States.
The counsel find that the manip-
ulation Of railroads under Harri-
man and his associates involved
the violation Of the Antitrust
Law. This brings all the viola

ominous 70 the saloon interests
than even the widespread agita.
tion which is finding expression
IN the form Of restrictive state
legislation
The first was a case wherein
Albert Soltau Of Indiana applied
for and was granted a saloon
license in indianapolis, from
which grant an appeal was taken
to the circuit court, the same be-
ing based on a remonstrance
which had been fled previous to
TO the license being granted
This case, on appeal, was tried
before Judge Samuel r. Artman,
the contention OF the remon-
strants being that the statute
authorizing the granting Of sa-
loon licenses was unconstitu-
tional, in that the saloons mission
8 70 invade the rights guaranteed
70 citizens by the state constitu-
ton, and that the saloon is nee
essarily subversire Of the public
morals, health, safety TO person
and property, and the breeder Of
immortality and crime, and that
for the legislature 70 assume to
grant permission to work these
evils was TO attack the constitu-
ton and the foundation Of the
state, which granted TO the citi-
zens OF Indiana protection from
these very ills, and was there
fore unconstitutional.
The remonstrance was upheld
and the application dismissed, at
cost of applicant. in a very ex-
haustiye decision handed down
BY Judge Artman, Feb. 10.
The second decision was on a
case brought in 1905 by Nancy
IB. Middleton Of Noblesville
against Edward L. Sopher, the
latter being finally indicted in
the circuit court. The case was
continued from term 10 term by
the defendants attorneys until
the present year, when Judge
Ira w. Christian Of Noblesyille
rendered a decision, which, in
effect, covered the ground which
had been gone over just two
months earlier by Judge Art.

an act granting licenses to a sa.
loon by the legislature was un.
constitutional, in that he decided
that a saloon was, necessarily, a
nuisance TO be abated, he order
ing the abatement Of the saloon
which he had thus outlawed.
The third and latest decision is
by Special Judge Frank E.
Hutchinson Of Lebanon, in the
Boone circuit court, which origi.
mated in 1906 at Sheridan, Ham.
ilton county, where George B.
Lanham applied for and was de.
MED a saloon license by the coun.
" commissioners. AS in the
two earlier cases, a vast array Of
state supreme court decisions
were cited, as well as United
States circuit and United States
supreme courts, declaring what
were the common law rights Of
the citizen, as well as the rights
created under the constitution OF
Indiana; also, a formidable array
from the same courts, declaring
that the saloon always and every.

that the very act Of the legisla.
