TO PLEASE THE DEMOCRATS.
Ant;-Saloon League Would Have
Township and Ward
Law, Too.

K. c. Minton, attorney for the Ind
lana Anti-Saloon League, has a pro-
posal for consideration by the Demo
cratic members of the Legislature
which, he says. will enable them &c
carry out the pledges of their State
platform, while not interfering with
the county option law as placed or
the statue books by the special ses-
sion of the Legislature in September
Mr. Minton's plan is for two Local
option laws, and he bases his sugges-
ton on a theory that two liquor laws
when not conflicting and when the
one last adopted does not repeal di-
rectly or by implication the former
will both stand
Mr.. Minton has advanced the idea
that the Legislators may enact law
providing for township and ward To-
cal option without repeating eth
directly or by implication the county
option law This compromise meas
ure was proposed by Mr. Minton as
a means OF placating those Demo
Gratis in the counties where iowa
ship and ward unit is desired, with
on interfering with the wishes OF
those in the counties where prepare
tions are already under way for vot-
ing on the saloon question under the
present law. The plan was proposed
by Mr.. Minton when the legislator:
were considering the county option
bill in the special session, but did n0i
receive much consideration

Barnhart on Committeeships.

Representative Barnhart of the
Thirteenth district has an idea that
onerous committe assignments are a
handicap for one who desires TO do
things for his district, and he will not
ask Champ Clark, the democratic
leader of the house, to put him on
committees that will consume great
deal of his time. He wants to be foot
foose in a measure to run around the
departments and to take up such mat
tiers as may be of interest and benefit
to the people who have sent him to
congress. AS he is practical printer
and publisher it is more than likely
that Mr.. Clark will give him a place
ON the committee on printing.

The President and the Tariff.

1t is true that President Roose-
velt processes little interest in the
tariff question; but 1T is also true that
the cause of tariff reform owes more
to him than to any one else. The
reason for this is twofold. First, he
has weakened the grasp CT the cor
porations on the Government and
embroidered the masses to voice their
own desires; second, he has surround
ed himself with men wtlo cherish
progressive as opposed to stand-pat
policies.
Consciously the President has done
little or nothing for tariff reform
Unconsciously he has been promoting
1T through the silent evangel of his
presence, radiating throughout every
department of the Government and
to the far corners of the Nation the
idea that intrenched privilege has had
its day and the common people may
at length be heard
The President has been able t.
write long messages TO Congress
without mentioning the tariff; but he
has not been able to prevent a uni
versal conviction. constantly increas-
ing in intensity, that under the square
deal inordinate schedules could not
long survive and the great protected
corporations might shift for them
selves without the sustaining arm oil
the Government.
Unobtrnsively and almost unob-
served, accordingly, revolution has
been going on within the Republican
party on the subject of the tariff
The distance the popular thought has
travelled is disclosed in Mr.. Carnegie
stand for free trade in steel products
and IN Chairmon Payne's declaration
for free lumber. The first law 81
nature is self-preservation; and II
does not need very acute discernment
to see what will happen when the Re-
publican party comes to believe that
high protection for giant corporations
has become a milestone about its
neck.-Indfanapolis Star.

MILLION DOLLARS
DAY FOR SUGAR
ONLY HALF OF THIS AMOUNT
BOUGHT FROM AMERICAN
GROWER.
Every Individual Consumes Half His
Weight of Sugar In One
Year.

1t takes million dollars a day to
satisfy Uncle Sans sweet tooth. be-
cause the average citizen IN the Unit
ed States consumes half his own
weight in sugar every year.
These and other interesting facts
are given in statement issued by
the bureau OF statistics, which reads
more like fairy tale for children
than government report
The total consumption in the Unit
ed States an 1907, the latest year for
which the figures are obtainable, was
1859, 667, 975 pounds.
Calculating this enormous total at
the average retail. price of FIVE and
one-half cents per pound" the report
states, we get total OF 1912, 000,-
600 as its cost to the consumer, or
more than a million dollars for each
of the 365 days of the year"
The statement shows thar 21.3 per
cent, or 1,511, 100000 pounds of the
sugar consumption of the country
was of home production, 177 per cent
or 1,254 100000 pounds, was brought
from our insular possessions and the
remaining sixty-one per cent, or A.
367 100000 pounds, came from for
eign countries. Fo-ty-three millions
pounds was the aggregate of the ex-
portation of sugar from this country.
The United States sugar record for
1907, was unique in that the quantity
of that product imported from for
eign countries was larger than ever
before. the quantity brought from our
island possessions was larger than in
any previous year, the quantity pro-
duced at home exceeded that of any
other year, the quantity exported was
larger than i'm any year of the past
decade, and the per capita consump-
ton WAS the largest ever recorded,
an average of $40 pounds for each
man, woman and Child of continetal
United States.
An equally interesting feature of
this record year OF 1907 was the fact
that the production of beet sugar for
the first time exceeded the produc-
ton of cane sugar. the product of the
year being, cane sugar, 544, O00, 900
pounds. while the production of beet
sugar amounted to s67, 100000 pounds
The worlds production has prac-
tically doubled in the past twenty
years, having grown from 1900, 000,-
900 pounds in 1887 to $4,000, 000. 900
pounds in 1907, and while tie United
States consumed about eighteen per
cent of the total worlds production
of 1887, II consumed twenty-five per
cent of the greatly increased produc-
tion of 1907 Beets now supply one
half of the grand total produced,
while twenty years ago they supplied
but about one-thind of the total pro-
duct.

TO GATHER STATES HISTORY
State Library Commission is Pub
fishing an Index to Newspapers
of Indiana.

To meet a growing demand in In
diana for data concerning the history
art and geography OF the state, the
State Library Commission is publish
ing an index to the newspapers OF
indianapolis The indexing is done
by Artena NJ. Chapman, of the Mum
Gle pubic library, and the first pub
lished list appears in the CUR ent Ii
brary Occurrent, the official quarter

Indiana is very backward about
collecting her interesting points oil
history, geography and similar mat
tiers in form for the average reader.
said Chalmers Hsdley. secretary OF
the commission. I'VE took up this
indexing several weeks ago and have
found it very beneficial. We expect
to keep it up, and later to get it into
form where it will be of great value
to any library"
The Indiana commission will be
represented in the League of Library
Commissions, embracing thirty state
by three members of the commission
when it convenes in Chicago next
month. The delegates will be Mrs
Elizabeth c. Earl, of Connersville,
member of the commission; Secretary
Hadley and Carrie A Scott, assistant
organizer.
The Indiana commission is con-
sidering fc.e to provide for exam
lining and licensing Librarians in the
state, much after the method now
employed in licensing school teach
ers. The matter will be introduced
to the commission at its next meeting
and an effort will be made to draft
a bill for presentation to the legis-
lature in 1911. Ohio has such law,
but it is not sufficiently we'll drawn
to be taken as model or Indiana,
according to Mr. Hadley.

OLD QUESTION
DECIDED BY COURT
CONCERNING THE KILLING
OF ANIMALS ON RAILROAD
RIGHT OF WAY.
When Damages May be Collected
and When They May Not is Set
tied for all Time.

An old question that has been de-
cided many times mas again been
passed upon by the supreme court.
The question relates to the killing OF
animals on the right OF way OF the
interurban railroads. The law pro-
vides that gates at farm crossings
sham be securely fastened and clos
ed and according to the holding OF
the court, damages cannot be collect
ed for the killing of an animal thai
enters right OF way through a gate
unless it can be shown that the en-
ployes of the railroad were negl-
gent.
This same ruling would apply
where a railroad has lawful fence
and where a farmer has horse or
COW that gets on the roads right OF
way and would damage, or be the
means OF throwing train off the
track. The owner OF said stock is re-
sponsible for all damages where evil
dence is positive as to the road
fences being legal, as we'll as the
owners stock being unruly and un-
manageable
The same rule will apply when tn =
railroad is neglected and can be
shown also OF being notified as to the
condition OF their fences. The rail
read is then responsible for all dam
ages that may arise from the killing
Of stock, killed on their right OF way
The laws are framed TO prosecute
each violator as the case may apply
and are just in themselves, when
looked at in the right light from bosh
sides OF the case, as applied to law
and equity.

MONEY MOVE
EFFORTS BEING MADE TO
PRODUCE COINS IN MANY
LANDS.
Convention to Consider Internation-
al Coinage System Will Be Held
in Holland in 1909.

The establishment OF an interna-
tional coinage will be one subject
considered by the monetary conven-
ton to be held in Holland in 1909
Several attempts have been made in
the past to provide coin or series
of coins receivable in all the princi-
pal countries at a definite value, and
some OF the European nations have
formed unions throughout which GER
tain coins pass at a specified value
Thus in France, Italy and Spain, the
franc, Ira and peseta pass freely at
an equal value.
Bur all endeavors to bring the
United States into such an arrange
ment in the past have failed Three
OF the plans TO issue international
coins in this country proceeded to
the stage where experimental coins
were made at the mint.
The earliest of these COINS made
its appearance in 1868. 1t was the
outcome of an international monetary
convention held at Paris in 1867, at
which twenty different nations were
represented. 1t was proposed TO take
the French five-franc piece as a basis,
and to strike gold coins OF the de-
nomination OF 25 francs for interna-

PREVIOUS FoURTHs OF MARCH.
Springlike Weather of Today Re-
wives Recollections.

The ideal spring weather today recalled
TO an old citizen some of the previous
March As. especially in presidential inaug-
uration years, and he made the predic-
ton that March 4, 1909. when the hosts
will be here to inaugurate another PresE
dent will be marked by a variety of dis
agreeable weather. He called attention
to one of Gen. Grants inaugural days
when a record breaking belowzero tenn
perature prevailed Also to the second
inauguration of Grover Cleveland, when
the sky was overcast by low-hanging and
murky clouds, and from them came ver-
liable sheets of RAIN hail, sleet and snow
in combination At the same time the
wind blew from the north with the force
OF a gale. The snow and rain blew
through the series of grandstands along
Pennsylvania avenue and made them un-
inhabitable, and comparatively few people
stood out on the streets and braved the
elements TO witness the big parade.
Prof. Garriott. the official fOrecaster of
the weather bureau, said this afternoon
that there is a bare chance of the pleas
ant conditions of today being followed by
rain tomorrow.
