Supreme Court Decision.

The supreme court of Indiana has
ruled that a saloon room is all one,
despite the fact that high partitions
are often times used. A Frankfort
saloonkeeper was arrested on a
charge of maintaining a partition in
his saloon and keeping devices for
amusement in the same room with
his bar. The saloonkeeper pretended
to have leased the card room to his
bartender and insisted that he was
not running it, but there was evidence
that the players in the card room
played for checks stamped with the
saloonkeeper's initials.
The court said that when a large
room is used as a saloon, cutting it
up by partitions does not protect the
saloonkeeper from the charge of run
ming another business with his bar,
but merely constitutes an additional
offense. The judgment which was af-
hrmed included a sentence to impris-
onment in the county jail TO fifteen
days

Wall Streets Hatred

Walter Wellman, correspondent of
the Chicago Record Herald, has tried
to analyze Wall streets hatred for
President Roosevelt. He classes all
the financial interests of New York
City as Wall street, declaring that a
majority of business men, speculat-
ors, bankers and promoters of the
metropolis really regard the Presi-
dent as an enemy of good govern
ment. But Wellman fails to give
satisfactory reason for the intensity
of the feeling other than that Wall
street, with the characteristic narrow
mindedness of New York City, is un-
able to judge fairly. With the con-
ceit that has been in evidence for
years, New York thinks its hatred is
entertained by the whole country, be-
ing blind to the fact that the more
Wall street roars the greater be-
comes the popularity of Roosevelt
and his policies Wellman finds that
Wall streets hatred is amazing-it
is blind, unreasoning and undis-
eliminating hatred--it amounts to a
mania. To quote from the corrcs-
pondent: "The only thing that causes
equal surprise is Wall streets utter
inability to understand that the re-
mainder Of the country is not of its
way of thinking, and that its rancor
helps to make the President popular
everywhere else-that the people
love him for the enemies he has made
in the neighborhood of the stock ex-
change.

No Candidate in Twelfth District

The Twelfth district occupies a
novel position in the Republican pol
itical field in that it is the only dis
trict OF the state without candidate
for honors from the state convention
to be held April and 2. 1t is the
only one of the thirteen districts that
has no favors to ask and no favorite
sons TO boost. This makes the
Twelfth desirable territory for the
small army of candidates whose
members are working day and night
for supporters.
The First district has candidate
in the person of Prof. Edward q.
Raman, of Mt Vernon, who wishes
to be state superintendent of public
instruction. John c Billheimer, OF
Washington, auditor OF state, who
wishes another term, comes from the
Second district The Third offers
George w. Self, of Corydon, report
er OF tie supreme court, for another
term The Fourth has Hugh Miller,
of Columbus candidate for the COVER
norship.
There are two candida.es for state
honors in the Fifth district, Emmett
F. Branch, of Martinsviile, who made
formal announcement Monday OF his
candidacy for lieutenant governor,
and Oscar Hadley. of Plainfeld. state
treasurer, who will ask for renomina-
ton.
The Sixth has three candidates
James f. Watson for the governor
ship; J. F. Tomlin, of Shelbyville, for
state superintendent of public in
struction, and Judge David Myers OF
Greensburg, who wishes to be re-
turned to the appellate bench The
Seventh district is the home of Viii
liam l.. Taylor, candidate for the
gubernatoGial nomination
Two candidates live in the Eighth
district They are James Bingham
attorney general, who is for renom-
nation, and Lawrence McTurnam
Anderson. who wishes to be state
superintendent.
The Ninth has Fred A. Sims, sec
| retary of state, who asks another
term, and T. T. Neal. OF Noblesville
candidate Tor the nomination as re-
porter OF the supreme court. The
Tenth also has two candidates
Judge Gillett OF the supreme court
| who wishes to be returned, and Ere
mont Goodwine, of Williamsport, car
didate for lieutenant governor.
The Eleventh offers two new
names-those of Quincy l.. Myers
| Logansport. who would like to sue
ceed Judge Gillett on the bench, and
Acil Alexander, OF Marion, candidate
for state stati5tician. Mr. Alexander
is now deputy treasurer of state. The
Thirteenth district has Charles Mill
er, candidate for the governorship.
1t may be that some Twelfth dis
trict patriot Will announce himself fol
state office, but rs yet the district i:
unique in not having a candidate.

PRYOR is in JAIL
CULVER RESTAURANT MAN
AND HIS WIFE GIVE DIFF
FERENT EVIDENCE IN
BLIND TIGER CASE.

The case of the state versus Milo
Pryor for selling liquor at Culver
without a license was tried in Justice
Unger's court Friday afternoon.
The principal witnesses for the
state were some colored men and the
defendants wife, Catherine Pryor. 1t
was bad mix up, but there was very
little interest in the case manifested
here or at Culver.
The trial developed, the fact that
Pryor and his wife had been twice
married and twice divorced, and that
ne persuaded her to visit her sister
several weeks ago and while she was
gone he took $32 in money, SIS in
groceries and an iron bedstead and
left her
\ colored man Kyle Moore, testi-
fed that he bought whisky of Pryor
at the restaurant, and Mrs. Pryor
testified that he kept whisky in the
back room in bottles and jugs con-
cealed by shavings and sold 1t TO
customers.
Pryor swore positively that he new
er sold whisky or beer to any one. He
did not deny having whisky and beer
in the back room, but he said the
whisky was drank by his wife and
daughter and five cases of beer, which
he admitted purchasing, was drank
by the family. and no liquors other
than soft drinks were sold TO Gus
toners.
Justice Unger found the evidence
sufficient and bound Pryor over to
circuit court, under 500 bond. Pryor

Conserving Our Resources.

The spirit evinced already by those in
attendance upon the resources confer
ence is guarantee that the subject is
thoroughly appreciated In all its impor-
lance. This is not political question. 1t
is business proposition and is being ap-
preached in a businesslike way. Certain
minerals are in the soil to be dug by man
for his use. Certain natural growths are
available for manufacture. Certain ele-
mental forces can be utilized or they NAV
become a menace. The problem is to
safeguard the resources IN such a way as
To yield the maximum of use, the mini
mum OF waste and the least possible inyi-
tation to disaster through the elemental
forces.
Probably in the cutting of the forests
the American people have been more prod
igal than in any other Of their activities.
When the land was peopled in the begin
ming by whites it was necessary to clear
away great areas of forest srowths to
make room for the farms and settlements.
In this process the American people grew
to look upon trees rather as obstacles
than as objects Of use, and 1t was not I'M
til the past century was we'll advanced
that even the far-sighted ones recognized
the danger of continued undiscdplined un-
organized timbering and the necessity OF
some system of reforestation to replace
the wasteful destruction Of the past. The

forestry propaganda has within the past
few years accomplished excellent results.
The people have been thoroughly awak-
ened to an appreciation of the fact that II
system does not succeed unrestrained cut
ting, If planting does not accompany de-
struction, the day will soon come when
wood will be rare and expensive and the
entire system of building and furnishing
of the houses Of millions of people must
undergo radical change.
Within the past few years also have
come laboratory discoveries calculated to
offset the waste heretofore suffered to go
on unchecked in the manufacture of met
ais and minerals. Uses have been found
for by-products. the cost of manufacture
has been lessened and the total net waste
has been diminished in many lines of in
dustry. But these discoveries only reach
a short distance along the way of eco
nomic manufacture. There is still great
waste at the mine. There Is waste In the
hauling. There is waste in the consump-
ton of fuel, serious. expensive waste. Mil
lions, Of tons Of power making coal are
blown into the air daily in this country
through the stacks of badly stocked fur
naces. Vast volumes of fuel gases are
dissipated In the same manner.
The problem before the resources con-
ference, however, is not a technical one
but relates to the ways and means of Sc
curing legislation that will put premium
upon the adoption of economic measures
by those who utilize the natural products
This premium will come from the checks
imposed upon wasteful mining and lum-
bering. The conference will also consider
the practical measures to be adopted
to utilize the water power. to con-
serve the energies of the streams and
thereby to lessen the drain upon the coal
supplies of the country. The men engaged
in the conference are all practical citizens.

complish results commensurate with the

Balloons and Warfare.

Interesting experiments are being con-
Quoted by the army officers In charge of.
the balloon flights that are being taken
from this city, to ascertain the freedom
with which wireless messages can pass
between a balloon and a ground station.
Thus Tar it has been demonstrated that
communication can be maintained in this
manner over a considerable distance.
While this is an important discovery. far
more SO will be proof that messages can
be sent from a balloon to a ground sta
ton. The war balloon is not likely to be
developed into more than a means of
observing the position of an eEemy's
forces, and ascertaining his probable stra-
tegic plan. Heretofore communication
has been effected. with headquarters from
such balloon by means of flag signals and
occasionally by sun flashes. But such
signals are subject to the objection that
they may be read by the enemy. Wireless
communication would in all likelihood
remain secret, although even that must
be safeguarded by the adoption of reliable
tuning If it is found that the bal
loon can carry sending apparatus and
maintain uninterrupted communication
with the earth the function of the obser-
walton gas bag is greatly extended.
Il such aeroplane that of the
Wright brothers. of whose experiments in
North Carolina encouraging reports con-
tinue to come, can be developed to the
point of safe flight over considerable dis
tanceS and under complete control, it may
replace even the wireless balloon. Its low
soaring fights at high speed over a field
occupied by hostile force would prob
ably enable the operator or a companion
to ascertain much of great value. Such
a fight of course would be subject to
the risk of attack by sharpshooters, but
if the present expectations are realized the
speed of the practical aeroplane of the
future may be so great that it will be
possible for daring, skillful operator 10

The Governors and the District.

Sitting virtually at the Board of Trade
banquet as guests of the city last night
wenty-seven governors of states were
brought into close relations with the real
capital of the United States, the COM
mhnity comprising the seat OF govern
ment and maintained as a model munich
pality under the care of the federal Con-
gress. It is impossible that these state
executives should leave Washington with
out carrying with them clear conception
of the relationship between the District
and the United States. 1t is to be hoped
that they will so back to their states in
spired by the purpose to help make
Washington the most attractive city on
the continent. Vice President Fairbanks
put this proposition into concrete form In
the course of his felicitous remarks when
he said that as a people the Americans
will fall short of their duty If they do not
make Washington an object of admiration
for all corners of whatever nationality.
His promise to do all in his power to
realize this ideal needs no guarantee. for
his influence from the beginning of his
official career in Washington has stead
tasty been cast for the execution of the
great plans of capital development.
1t Is appropriate lHdl Inc SOScI ltoi .
should be entertained in this way by the
Board of Trade, for that organization has
during the seventeen years of its exist
ence stood for precisely the idea which 1t
was sought last night to instill into the
minds of the distinguished visitors. that
Washington is the national city, that 1t
should be great and beautiful and well
managed in every item of municipal ad-
ministration.
The expression by congressional con-
stituencies in states of the American de-
sire to develop the possibilities of Wash
ington will have a marked effect. Con-
gress. perhaps, at times sees the local
situation at too close range. and Is dis
posed to deal unduly in details and to ig-
more the great questions and principles.
An occasional admonition from the pa
triots who cast the votes that the coun-
try expects Congress to do its duty to-
ward the District in broad. progressive
spirit will help materially in getting leg
islative results. The governors who last
night sat as the guests of the Board OF
Trade should return to their capitals as
missionaries OF this movement, and If
they bring to practical ends the interest
they are now manifesting in the welfare
of the national city. not many sessions
will pass before Washington will show
forth conspicuously and wonderfully the
beneficial results of their laborS.

How Bryan Might Win.
From the Hartford Times.


We do not mean to say that William
Jennings Bryan can never be elected Presi-
dent of the United States. If. after he
shall have demonstrated once more his ut
ter incompetence to be elected as demo-
crat, he shall join Mr.. Roosevelt's party,
where he properly belongs, and with
which he is in much closer sympathy than
he is with the party of Jefferson and
Cleveland. he may yet reside for four
years in the White House at Washington.
His present plan clearly is to go on with
his profitable lecture and newspaper bust
ness, while he makes 1t easy for the re-
publicans to elect any man they may
nominate-guarantees the election to them
in fact. With this Bryanite plan the
democrats of Massachusetts have mani
tested their intention to cordially cooper
ate. They have gone on a vacation. and
there is no telling when they will come
back.
