Message.

years, was inaugurated yesterday,

Judge Roby of the Appellate court

held was occupied. Many were un-
able 70 get near enough to hear or to
see.
After taking the oath, Governor
Marshall read his inaugural address
and message to the Sixty-ninth Gen
eral Assembly OF the State of Indi-
ana.
A part OF the program was the last
off zeal utterarce OF the retiring Gov
ernar, J. Frank Hanly, who extend
ed good wishes 10 his successor in
office, and said this much ne claimed
for himself: my purpose has been
pure; my effort sincere; my zeal un-
firing"

tons for legislation TO the General

assistants to the various departments
had become SO large as TO be bur-

the employment of an expert to in

termine the exact duties of every
employe, and make suggestions for a
more economical administration.

necessary action for an increase of
$50 100000 in its indebtedness in or

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dang
erous for Plymouth People
to Neglect.

The great danger of kidney
troubles is that they get a firm
hold before the sufferer recog-
nizes them. Health is gradually
undermined. Backache, head
ache, nervousness, lameness, sore
ness, lumbago, urinary troubles,
dropsy, diebetes and Bright's Dis
ease follow in merciless success
sion. Don't neglect your kidneys.
Cure the kidneys with the certain
nd safe remedy, Doan's Kidney
Pills, which has cured people
right here in Plymouth.
Mrs. Joseph Glass, living on
Cemetary Street, Plymouth, Ind,
says: "My husband had all, sorts
of aches and pains due to kidney
trouble. The backaches at times,
were something terrific, and when
he caught cold, it generally set
tied in his kidneys. making his
condition worse. Seeing Doan's
Kidney Pills so highly advertised
he procured a box at Richard 5
Pharmacy and before he had fin
ished the contents, he obtained re-
lieve. He continued taking the
remedy until he bad used four
boxes when he experienced cure

John c. Boss, a manufacturer OF

HOGS WILL BE PROFITABLE.
Feverish Prices are Gone and Bust
ness is Now on a Practical
Basis.

The farmer who is rightly situat-
ed and is willing to advertise l1ber
ally will find the present conditions
favorable to engage IN the breeding
OF thoroughbred hogs. Hogs are fond
of grazing ard if the land is adapt
ed to the cultivation OF alfalfa it
will greatly cheaper the cost OF pro-
duction of swine, as we'll as increase
the bone and health OF the animals
Thoroughbred hogs are reasona-
bly, cheap and the best specimens can
be purchased for much less money
than twelve months ago. Unques-
tionably prices have ruled too high
and discouraged many farmers who
would Ike TO engage in the breed
ing of swine. Values can be no hin
derance at the present time, as the
owners of many choice herds are
anxious to reduce stock and will sell
their surplus on reasonable terms
Unfortunately nearly every thorough
bred OF animals has a boom in every
ten or fifteen years and prices become
inflated. Then follows liquidation and
a readjustment OF values
Hogs are very prolific breeders
and when properly managed increase
rapidly. Too many breeders reserve
ar their stock for breeding purposes,
while the inferior animals are sold
The farmer who purchases such a
sire relies on the pedigree of the boar
to produce in hrs progeny the best
type of the breed. Performance is
Disappointing and the purchaser loses
confidence in the superior attributes
of thoroughbred hogs over conglom-
crate breeding The breeder who sold
the animal has injured the prestige of
his herd and will suffer loss of re-
cuperation.
Hogs are bred for consumption,
and an imperfect animal OF full-blood
breed OF swine IS more valuable for
the shambles than to reserve for a
producer Many inexperienced men
went into the breeding business when
stock was selling at inflated prices
and will close out their herds when
values are at the bottom. Any farmer
is qualified as breeder and will ex-
p1oit blooded swine now is fully pro-
tec.ed BY current prices from future
losses Values are sure TO rally, as
prices now are but few points above
pork prices The breeder who starts
a herd now is sure to profit by the
advance, as blooded hogs are staple
animals and will sell higher.

ABOLISH TWO
CITY OFFICES
STEPHENS WOULD AMEND
CITIES AND TOWNS ACT
DOUBLING OFFICES
Also Has Bill Raising Penalty for
Horse Stealing To Five To
Ten Years.

Representative Louis A. Stephens
Of Madison County is preparing to
introduce a bill amending the Cities
and Towns Act, so as to bring about
several important chances.
The first is change in the CLASH
hcation OF cities. Instead OF CLASH
6cation according to population, he
would classify them according to
their respective amounts OF taxable
property, as shown in reports to the
State Bureau OF Statistics.
My BILL" said Representative Ste
phens, will provide also that in cities
OF the third and fourth classes the
mayor shall perform the duties OF the
city Judge, and the city clerk shall
.eriorm the duties OF the city con-
t.oller. There are two Offices that
are unnecessary in cities of that size
md they should be abolished
My bill will provide also for re-
luction in the salaries OF all members
of boards of public works. 1t will
provide that tie salaries OF these OH
cials shall be increased only as the
TX valuation of the city increases.
\ bill similar 10 that which Repre-
eltative Stephens will introduce was
Introduced at the session in 1907 and
passed the House. 1t was killed
.owever in the Senate.
Also Has Horse Thief Bill
Representative Stephens is also
preparing bill, which is backed by
he Horse Thief Detective Assocsa-
cns of the state, and which increases
ne PENALTY for stealing horses from
re - fourteen years in prison to
rcm five to ten years. The bill pro-
.Ges punishment for both first and
cond offenses
For the first offense it provides FIVE
ten years imprisonment For the
cond offense the punishment is not
.ess than ten years, nor more than
Irteen years.
AT the present tnne," said Repre-
NATIVE Stephens, "the peralty is so
sht that 1t really puts premium on
,:caling horses A man convicted OF
iorse stealing usually gets out of
-ison in one years time and imme-
:ltely goes 20 stealing horses again.
There should be greater protec-
on against horse stealing. There is
loud and insistent demand upon the
art of the farmers throughout the
state for a greater penalty sgains,

e most exposed TO thieves of the
armer's property, and IS, therefore.

CRIME in STATE
NOT INCREASING
CROWDED PRISONS ARE SAID
TO BE DUE TO LONGER
SENTENCES.
Superintendent of Jacksonville Re-
fcrmatory Discusses Recommen-
dation for Additional Prison.

Declaring the crowded prisons OF
Indiana are the result of longer terms
and stricter enforcement of parole
regulations rather than an increase OF
crime in the state, w. H. Whitaker,
superintendent OF the Jacksonville
Reformatory, during recent visit to
Indianapolis, d scussed farorably the
re ,0mmendat:on for an additional
prison made by Governor Hanly in
his message.
Il haven't anything much to say
regarding other institutions of Indi-
ana in which criminals are held in
addition TO what | already have said
IN my annual report" declared The
warden, except that crime is not in
creasing in Indiana. The apparent in.
crease in the institutions OF the state
is caused from confirmed criminals
being imprisoned longer under the in
determinate sentence law the aver
age time being three years and a
half, while under the old law OF fixed
sentences the average time was year
and nine months.
Population Causes Increase.
Another reason for the apparent
increase in crime caused by the
crowded condition is the fact tina,
these institutions were built sixty
years ago, when the population of In
diana was one-third OF what it is to-
day Crime increases as does the pop
ulation of the various states increase
No more commitments by the courts
are being sent TO the institutions to-
day in proportion TO the population
and in proportion TO the number OF
offenses for which men can now be
convicted than were being sent to
the institutions twenty-five years ago
Another and greater reason than
either of the above for another in
stitution OF Indiana is 10 care for con-
firmed criminals is to have a more
perfect classification OF the criminal
population. No management of insti-
tutions OF this character for the prop
er protection of society and for the
best interests of those sent TO such
institutions should have more than l.
900 inmates to look after"
