state ticket decided to contest the cleo

not contest Then he switchen around

The charge is made now that New

talked with Governor Marshall and
that the governor advised him to do
so and promised him the job of legal
clerk If he would withdraw from the

Governor Marshall says he will wait
ten days before announcing definitely

can prove this charge may have an OPP
portunity to do so. If the charge is
proven New will not get the place 9th
erwise he will be appointed.

Indianapolis, Ind. March 0. = The
session OF the legislature. just closed.
enacted about 100 laws More than that
number of bills were passed, but that is
the number that will be signed by
Governor Marshall, and his signature is
required to make a bill a law.
This legislature did but a little over
half the amount of business done by
the session of two years ago. That
session enacted 295 laws. But the
value of a session of the legislature
does not always depend on the num-
Der of bills passed so much as it does
on the kind of bills passed. And in this
regard the last session will measure
up pretty well with former sessions.
Many Bad Bills Killed.
Another thing to be considered is the
bad bills that were killed by the last
session. 1t was a regular slaughter
house and it killed bills right and left,
most of them being bills that should
not become laws. any way. Yesterday
the clerks of the house the senate
dumped out all of the bills that failed
to pass, and there was a pile of them
over. In the bunch in the "morgue"
were bills that proposed to repeal the
present excellent system of uniform
text books in this state; bills to repeal
the county option law; bills to create
a public utilities commission that would
have had the people Of the state by
the throat in the interest of the utili-
ties corporations; bills to change the
insurance laws and enable insurance
companies to do many things that they
are not now allowed to do; bills in
the interest of corporations railroads
traction companies. breweries, saloons
and many other things. To have passed
all of these bills, or even a small num-
Der of them would have stamped the
legislature as a den Of robbers and pi-
rates and would have been a disgrace
to the state
Good Bills Killed, Too.
But there were also in the bunch
some very good bills that should have
been enacted into law. For instance
there was the bill to purify the jury
| system; the bill to place all county
officers on straight salaries, and have
all fees collected turned into the treas
ury; the bill to prohibit Bookkeeping
of whisky; the bill to require all coun-
| ty officers who handle money to give
bond; the bill to repeal the vicious
county clerks fee law; the bill to re-
/ peal the sheriffs in -and-out fee graft
law, and hundred others that should
have been passed. But the work act

so bad, after all

Washington, Oct 19.-For the pres
ent the case Of Charles r. Crane is
closed incident as far as the state de-
partment is concerned. The appoint
ment of his successor will be watched
with a great deal of interest.
Although the Pekin post has not
been raised to the dignity Of an en-
bassy nevertheless there is no more
important place in the diplomatic SER
vice at this time AS a matter OF fact,
St. Petersburg, Vienna, Berlin and the
other capitals of the European powers
happen to be Of secondary Importance
just now on account of the stupendous
political game that is being played i'm
the far east.
Consequently, it is highly essential
for the United States TO be represent
ed at Pekin by a man of sonsummate
tact and ability.
Among those mentioned for the post
is the present charge d'affalrcs at Pc
kin, Mr.. Henry p. Fletcher whose work
at this post has been most gratifying
to the state department. John Hayes
