The South, which has fingered so
far in the rear in this work, should
take it up with greater energy than
any other section, and in this way
overcome the deficiencies of the past
and take the lead in the cOnstruc-
ton of good roads. 1t should be
borne in mind that good roads are
not luxury only, but Il necessity,
and that the cost of their building
is not extravaganza, but simply a
wise investment. 1t may probably
be stated without contradiction that
the cost of building of any good road
anywhere i'm this country will bring
about an increase in the value of
adjacent property, and this in
creased value will be based on in
creased earning possibilities, great
er than the total cost of the con-
struction of the road. In view of
this fact no town, no community,
is too poor to build good streets and
good roads, for spending money for
such Il purpose, if wisely spent, is
the making of an investment that
Immediately is repaid to the COM
munity by the enhancement in
the value of property, and this en-
hancement continues on perpetual
ly.
Let the good work 60 on.

Memberships music will be played

In connection with the production Of
"A Midsummer Nights Dream" by the
Ben Greet Players at the Gennett,
March II.
With the Russian Symphony Orches-
ira OF fifty, and Ben Greet's full cast
OF thirty-five, and the group of child
rem for the fairy dances, one hundred
people are engaged in this production.
Nearly everyone is familiar in some
way or another with the midsummer
Nights Dream" music. The familiar
Wedding March, for instance, belongs
to this play. The wonderfully beauti-
full overture is hardly less familiar
and has few equals for beauty among
grand opera overtures. The inter-
mezzo deserves equal popularity with
a similar number in the modern Ital-
ian Repertoire and the Scherzo as a
piano transcription is played by all
the great concert pianists.
There are in all twelve musical
numbers during the performance, in
addition to the incidental music &C.
companying the speeches OF the fair
les, Puck, Oberon and Titania The
principal numbers are the Overture,
the Scherzo Fairies March," Inter
mezzo Nocturne. Wedding March"
the burlesque Funeral March, and
the Dance OF the Clowns" There are
also two beautiful numbers for solos
and chorus, "Ye Spotted Snakes" and
the grand finale Through the House.

class cities to have relief from their
burdens, and that IL the committee
would have the bill amended to elimi-
nate cities OF the first, second and
third classes from the provisions and
let it apply to fourth class cities alone
he would sign the bill at once.
So Faulkner and Racey and the rest
started out to have the bill amended.
They passed the word around in the
house and soon had enough votes
promised to make the change. But be-
fore doing anything with it they
thought 1t best to try and find out
what the senate would do with the bill
il it should be asked to concur in the
amendment And 1t was here that
they ran up against the stone wall once
more. The senate informed the COM
mittee that 1t would not accept the
amendment to the cities and owns bill,
unless the house would agree to pass
over the governors veto. all of the
court bill that he has turned down.
This included the Gary bill. the Ham,
mond bill, the Linton bill and the Put
man, Clay -Morgan-Owen court bill. This
was to be the price and nothing else
would do.
Democrats in Air.
So the house democrats went up in
the air again. They did not dare to
pass the court bills over the vetoes Of
the governor, and yet they did not dare
to fail to do everything in their power
to bring relief to the fourth class cit
les. They were between the devil and
the deep blue sea, and A. F. Knots, of
Hammond, Tom Knots, of Gary, and
Senator Bland, of Linton, were doing
all in their power to keep the senate in
line on the proposition. If Faulkner
and Racey have gray hair when the get
home it will be due to the anxious
hours they spent and the blood they
sweat on this matter yesterday after
noon and last night.
There was no business done yester-
day inteither house. 1t was wait
ing game, each side determined to play
the string out and then quit. In the
house there was one pleasant diver
sion, however, when Representative
Wider, of Elkhart, arose and made a
speech, at the conclusion Of which he
presented Speaker Honan with a
handsome diamond ring, the gift of all
of the members of the house. Wider
said Honan had been a model speaker.
