An investigation Of the conditions. not

Scores of letters haze been received
lately by the Governor from persons
who say they are entitled TO admission

make application they are informed
that the home is full and that no more
inmates can be accommodated. .lauy
of the letters complained of this con
dition. and it was as a result of these
complaints. that the governor looked

What Was Discovered.
II is said that the governor has
found that there ar. many men and
women at the state soldiers home Who
| should be taken care of outside. Mi
| merous cases were found II Is said
where the man or the woman was able
to take care of himself or herself. A
number Of them were found who have
property enough to keep them. Others
were found who draw large pensions
from the government-large enough To
provide for their maintenance-5u: IN.
state is keeping them. IL Is said that
one man was found there who owns
$4,000 worth Of property. and yet the
state is keeping him at the home.
Other cases were found of parsons
whose families are well able to support
them.
Governor Marshall Is going to In
sist that these persons be weeded ont
of the home IL possible In order To
make room for the many others In the
state who are needy and who really
should be taken care Of by the state.
Under the Law. when a person becomes
an inmate of the state soldiers hons
he may remain there for life. hut the
plan of the governor Is to have as
many as possible OF those WIN are
able to take care Of themselves 20 take
a long leave OF absence. thus making II
possible to take in the needy on.s-

citation, the only large brewer on the
outside being Crawford Fairbanks OF
Terre Haute He is the thorn in the
side of the association, because it is
known that he does not approve OF
the idea of cleaning up the business
in the state. He adheres to the Old
policy that business is business and
the more business you do the more
money you make. The rest OF the
brewers. it is pointed out, are in the
business also for money. but they re-
alize that unless the saloon can be re-
lieved of the unpopularity which II
now bears it will be forced out of the
state and they will have no business
at all.
But the Brewers association ap-
pears to be determined in its purpose
to clean up, regardless OF Fairbanks
or anyone else, and if Fairbanks does
not wish to clean up his own business
the other brewers will clean it UP for
him. Just who will lead the brewers
in this cleaning up process is not yet
known, but it is believed that the
leader in the movement will be Steve
Fleming. of Fort Wayne. Fleming is
fighter from up the creek, and it is
recognized as fact that he is the one
man who has the ability and the
nerve to carry out the adopted policy
if he takes a notion. He is prom
inent member of the State Brewers
association.
| In view Of the fact that the brewers
themselves have decided to take q
stand for better conditions in the
liquor trade and that they propose te
take it out of politics it is believed
that there will be a general effort tt
keep the matter out OF the platforms
of either party.
Were Given Warning.
When the brewer quoted above sale
the brewers realized the mistake the,
had made it is believed he had in
mind the course that was pursued II
the legislature last winter, in makins
the repeal of the local option law ant
the passage of the Proctor-Tomlinsor
bill a democratic measure. When the
brewers began the campaign for these
two things they were warned. tha
they should not make 1t a party mat
ter. 1t was pointed out to them tina
they would be able to get some repub
lcan votes for their measures if they
worked the thing on a non-partisar
basis, and this plan was adopted ant
was followed for some time. 1t wa:

think that because they can hear
through a telephone that their hearing
is good. Not always Dull hearing
like poor sight may last for years
without giving much trouble" 1t is
a we'll known fact that violent noises
deaden the constituencies of the
healthy ear. Boiler makers are aware
of it. Nervous women who come
shopping to the big cities are some
times overwhelmed by the unusual
and excessive uproar of the streets,
and most of them never know that
their headaches, irritability and unrest
are entirely due to ear-strain.

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Disgusting and Dangerous.

From the New York Tribune.
The tragic ending of an hypnotic
raree show in a nearby town should
mean the prompt and final ending by
process of law, of all such exhibitions.
1t is not yet judicially determined
whether the professor" who con-
Quoted the show should or should not
be held accountable for the death of
his subject" He did not mean to
kill him, and hypnosis could scarcely
cause rupture of the aorta, though it
Is an interesting and pertinent ques-
ton whether standing upon a mans
chest while he was in cataleptic
state might not have serious results.
That, however, is apart from the
chief general aspect of the case. The
point is that exhibitions of the kind
which seems to have occurred at Son.
erville are both disgusting and dan
gerous. To lay man, made rigid by
hypnosis or catalepsy, across trestles
and then stand upon him as though he
we're a log. to send him through the
gaping crowd Of spectators with bod
kins thrust into his flesh, is a per-
Torrance which must cause something
like nausea to every right minded per-
son who sees it, and which must have
a pernicious effect upon weak or i'm
mature minds. That it can be edify-
ing or elevating is out Of the question.
Such performances. as parts of vaude-
vile shows or otherwise, should be
forbidden for the sake of common de-
cency.

The "Mum."

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The chrysanthemum show makes
plain the hold Of the statuesque, patri-
clan flower upon popular favor Now
adays to the prize chrysanthemum al
most as much sedulous attention is
given as to the care of an infant-each
blossom is individualized, and instead
OF a whole family on a bush, the en-
tire energy Of a plant is devoted to a
single flower. Scarcely an hue in the
petals seems unattainable. nor does
the feminine couture as altered by
fashion display a greater variety OF
form and outline.

Some day I'm going to lead life of
economic care,

Relieved from all the envy and the
struggle and the stress,
I'll revel in the popular idea Of sue

I'll have the dollars coming in a swift

Sped by their own momentum wheth

And then. when ease is permanent
and profits are precise.
I'll calmly cross my legs and smile
and pass around advice.
I'll join the gleeful chorus, as 1t
