Newspapers and Men.

4 curious individual who publishes
a newspaper asked the Lake City In
dex a number of questions relative to
it's ownership and control. The Index
replied to the questions, answering all
the specifications. This the Index had
a perfect right to do.
But to all of these questions and ali
questions Of a similar character asked
of any newspaper a perfectly proper
reply would be, None Of your bust
ness"
It is nobody's business who owns or
controls a newspaper, the only excep-
tion that we can now think of being in
that the newspaper has injured him.
II the paper itself is not incorporated
or is not fnsolvent, in this case the
individual who claims to have sus-
tanned damage has a right TO know
who inflicted it.
But in other cases what does it mat
ter who owns d newspaper? What a
newspaper says. it says before all
men. In free country, such as this
is supposed to be. an opinion is not
important, because 1T is the opinion of
this man or of that man. It's accept
ance depends on whether it is right or
wrong, and of this each man must
Judge. The character of newspaper
must be fixed by it's conduct, not by
its ownership. Does it uphold the
right and condemn the wrong? If so
1t is worthy of respect; but even then
its opinion on any subject should not
be accepted unless the judgment of
the Individual considering it approves
it. paper that is generally right is
not always right
The man who magnifes the ques-
ton of the ownership of a paper in
suits the people. He presumes that
the people do not think for themselves.
but obey the orders of one master or
another. What matters it to a self-re-
liant, a thinking man, who gives him
advice? Does he not decide for him
self whether it is sound? Is the ad-
vice effected to any extent by the per-
sonality of the man who gives it?
Certainly not If the man who receives
1t himself and acts on his own judg-
ment.
If newspaper is clean il is fit to
go into the homes of the people, even
If 1t is owned by a debaucher. If it is
unclean it is not fit If 1t were owned
by a saint. If newspaper espouses
the right, it is a good influence no
matter whether the man who owns it
be good or bad.
II a newspaper works to build up a
community 1t is a friend of the people
| of that community. If 1T works to
| add to the prosperity of all parts of
the state, 1t is the friend of the people
| of the state. and he IS their enemy who
would seek to impair its usefulness

GRAIN AND PROVISION MARKET
CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-WHEAT-Dull and
featureIess although prices showed a
firm undertone. Reports from the
northwest were very bullish on the
cash situation, . message received from
that quarter reported number one
northern wheat one or two cents high
er than yesterday. Foreign cables this
morning We're disappointing as they
did not reflect our slight advance of
Yesterday. In consequence pit traders
were inclined to sell wheat at the open
ing. The trade, however, was so mar
row that prices did not move far each
way. The close was steady. practic
ally unchanged from yesterdays final
sales.
CORN-Showed strong undertone.
Eastern exporters were in the market
for the cash article at slightly higher
prices than they bid yesterday. The
car situation remains about as previ-
ously reported. this prevents any great
activity IN the cash market Receipts

Governor and Speaker.

The choice Of the republican mem
bers OF the legislature, In caucus as
sembled. has fallen to Emmett F.
Branch of Martinsville for speaker.
Mr. Branch had already been chosen
for the speakership by Governor Han
~. The legislature has merely ratified
the governors selection.
In these circumstances the attention
OF all thoughtful citizens Of Indiana
will be directed toward Mr.. Branchs
conduct of the speakers Office. VIII
he serve the governor who selected
him or the house that Endorsed him?
The people regard Governor Hanly's
selection OF Speaker Branch much as
they would regard the selection of a
speaker of the national house of rep
resentatives by the president of the
United States.
It will be incumbent on Mr.. Branch
to remember, and to show by his con-
duct that he remembers. that his real
accountability is not to the governor.
but to the people. 1t will be incumb-
ent on Governor Hanly to remember
that the function OF the executive de-
partment and the function of the legis
lative department are sharply delim-
ited by the ion.-Indianapous

WITH THE EDITORS.
Passing of the Home.

Harper's Weekly says the passing
of the home began when people ceased
TO have a little land around their
houses; and it continued by successive
steps as married people began to live
in hotels and boarding houses; as peo-
pie built smaller and smaller houses,
dispensing with rooms not deemed es-
sential IN the house, especially to its
child life; as people began to build in
blocks, leaving half the rooms damp
and dark. when apartment houses
went up all over our cities. 1T meant
that the home, the old-fashioned fam
lily life. the privacy, the dignity, the
close and sacred relations, were loos-
ening, and that people were more and
more living In the world and less in
the family"

Washington, Jan. II. - Much an

sound. which kept the engineers at the
Capitol on a still-hunt all day. Several
nervous senators protested against the
noise, which became stronger, and
continued throughout the night. defy

from Senator Pettus' desk.
A search showed that new device
which the Alabama senator has to en-
