WABASH SHOPS TO LAFAYETTE.
The city of Lafayette is considerably
excited over a report that the Wabash
railroad may make Lafayette a, much
more important point on its system,
either by bringing it's shops from Fort
Wayne to Lafayette or changing the
division point to the latter city. The
Wabash has not yet reached an agree
ment with the city of Fort Wayne as
regards track elevation. Huntin gton
and Peru are making a strong bid for
the shops and if they are removed it
is understood Lafayette stands a good
chance of securing from, despite the
strong bid made by Huntington and
Peru.

Ex-Governor Robert B. Glenn Of
North Carolina will go on the lecture

jects will be the negro problem.
Two of the new United States sena-
tors eligible to membership in the mil
lionaires club" are Charles J. Hughes

The most important senate commit
tee during the extra session Of con-
gress will be that on finance, which
Will be charged with the work Of con-
sidering the tariff bin when it comes
from the house of representatives.
1t is the general understanding in
Washington that Mr.. Taft ishes to fill
the treasury portfolio either from I'LL
nois or Ohio. Should the appointment
go to the president-elect's own state,
it is the belief that the honor will fall
to Myron T. Herrick.
1t now appears probable that the re-
publican candidate for governor OF

The WAY To HELL.
By EDWIN A..NYE.

A once brilliant social favorite Of the
east-a rich, handsome, popular man
has been arrested in Shanghai. China,
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses.
Which reminds one
The ancients who lived near a vol
canic lake not far from Naples called
the place Avernus, and they believed,
or affected to believe, that 1t was the
mouth of hades. THE DESCENT TO
THIS PLACE WAS AN EASY ONE.
Whatever the steps to the ancient
hades may have been, the steps by
which the once popular New Yorker
has gone down are easily traceable.
They are:
Step one, dissipation
Step two, extravaganza.
Step three, borrowing money.
Step four. lodging creditors.
Step five, swindIing.
OF the steps that remain there are
only two, and they are easily taken:
Step six, arrest and conviction.
Step seven, prison or the pistol
/ The descent to the Avernus Of the
noderns is easy because the steps are
logical They follow each other as do
the links Of chain One step leads
easily and naturally to the next
Once started downward on the steps
it Is difficult to stop. 1t is not impos-
sible to stop, but difficult.
The way to the modern hades is nc
toboggan slide on which, once started
1t is impossible to reverse motion and
slide upward One does not go gliding
from the heights of innocence down tC
the depths of degradation in trice.
The way goes down slowly. leisurely
by easy stages. 1t goes down by wei
defined steps-BROAD, EASY steps
The descent is hating, though sure.
No man takes the seven steps all a
once.
And no man who goes the downward
way expects to go to the bottom.
But 1t is so much easier to step dowl
10 the level below than to lift onesel
TO the level above! There is 4 law o
gravity in the moral world as in tn
physical world
And at the bottom is the mouth o
hell.

(Monday Feb. p, 1909
Senate.
For two hours and a half today the
senate discussed the postal savings
bank proposal, but an attempt to reach
an agreement as to a day for voting on
the measure failed. The reading by
Senator McLaurin of Washington's
farewell address consumed the first
hour of the session. Senator Aldrich
obtained the consent of the senate to a
resolution continuing the committees
of the senate as they now exist until
their successors are chosen in the next
regular session. The agricultural ap-
preparation bill was taken up. The
senate adjourned at 4:40 p. m.
House.
A second speech by Mr.. Rainey Qll.)
reiterating his former statements con-
corning the Panama. canal and a bitter
arraignments of Mr.. Rainey by Mr.. Bur
ton (Ohio) furnished the principal in
cidents in the house today. After the
Illinois member had spoken for an
hour further denunciation of William
Nelson Cromwell, Mr.. Burton took the
floor and vigorously defended Mr.
Cromwell, Q. p. Taft, President-elect
Taft and others whom Mr.. Rainey on g
former occasion had made objects Of
his attack. Mr.. Rainey he said, had
furnished no proofs of wrongdoing IL
connection with the purchase of the
Panama canal franchise, but instead
had conjured up wrongs and buttresseC
them with SANDER and falsehood. there
by placing himself on a level with "tht
scurvy politician" He challenged Mr.
Rainey to get from behind the pro.
/ lection afforded him by the Constitu-
ton of the United States and rules o.
the house and make his charges in tbs
| opene. Following the sending of thu
army and Indian appropriation bills t
conference consideration of the sundr!
/ evil appropriation bill was resumed
and it was pending when the house q
6 p. m. adjourned.

With Legislators

The Pearson employers liability bill,
which was passed by the senate last
Friday without an enacting clause and
repassed on Saturday with an enacting
clause added, is the bill that has been
commonly designated as the "ambu-
lance lawyers delight" because 1t pro-
poses to make sweeping changes in the
present employers liability law and
open UP the way by which ambulance
chasing lawyers may work up personal
injury damage cases The chief feature
of the bill is that section which relates
to contributory negligence This sec
ton provides that under certain con-
ditions negligence on the part of the
employe shall not be a bar to recov-
cry of damages. This section was bit
terly opposed by Senator Kane and
others, the pointtbeing made that the
employer would not be free from liza
bility under certain conditions set forth
| In the bill even though the employee
who was injured had deliberately stuck
his hand into dangerous machine.
Representative Buennagel has pre-
pared for introduction in the house a
/ bill to create the office of state fire
marshal, to be supported by a tax on
premiums and assessments made on fire
insurance business in the state, for the
purpose OF enabling the state to inves-
tigate fire losses, to aid in the arrest Of
persons suspected in incendiarism, and
to examine buildings and ssue and exc
cute orders looking to their being
made more secure from such fire losses.
BuennageTs plan calls for chief state
fire marshal, to be selected by the gov
ernor for a period of four years. He is
to receive a salary Of $4,000 q year. The
chief is to select an assistant chief.
who is to receive $4,000 a year, and two
/ deputies. the first of whom is to be an
attorney at-law, who is to receive ST.
500 a year, and the second is to receive
$1,000 a year.
Poultrymen of the state, through
Theo Hewes, editor of the Inland
Poultry Journal who is a member of

the bill to appropriate 100000 for a
machinery hall at the state fair
