STILL LOOKING FOR
L0OPAOlE TO NAB II

Although the outlook in favor of the
establishment of a Gary court looks de-
ctdedly blue, owing to the action of the
house committee last week. Gary will
continue to show it's true fighting spir-
1t and Will continue to wage the fight
al Indianapolis until the finish.
Attorney H. E. Corbett left for the
state capital this morning. where he
will remain this week in the interest
of the Gary court, and Attorney Man
love and others expected to follow
in q few days.
I'VE haven't given up hope" said At
torney Corbett this morning before
leaving for indianapolis. although ev-
erything went against US In the past
week There may he some 9oophole
whereby Gary may get her court yet
and we are not discoura ged because
the Gary bill received little setback.
Even If Gary fails this time we will
continue the fight during the present
session of the Legislature so we may
be in better position to present our
claims two years hence.

Avoid Harsh Drugs
Many Cathartics Tend to
Cause Injury to the
Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation.
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful and
sometimes more annoying than consti-
patton. They in no way effect a cure
and their tendency is to weaken the
already weak organs with which they
come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have the
best constipation treatment ever de-
vised. Our faith in 1t is so strong that
we sell it on the positive guarantee that
it shall not cost the user a cent if it
does not give entire satisfaction and
completely remedy constipation. This
preparation is called Rexall Orderlies.
These are prompt, soothing and most
effective In action. They are made of
a recent chemical discovery. Their
principal ingredient is odorless, taste
less and colorless. Combined with
other well known ingredients, long es-
tablished for their usefulness in the
treatment of constipation, 1t forms a
tablet which is eaten just like candy.
They may be taken at any time, either
day or night. without fear of their
causing any inconvenience whatever.
They do not grippe, purge nor cause
nausea They act without causing any
pain or excessive looseness of the bow
els. They are ideal for children. weak.
delicate persons and aged people as
well as for the most hearty person
They come in two size packages, IL

No More Contract steals.
According to Alderman Bowser who
Is the spokesman of the investigating
committee. there will be a big graft
upheaval with some well known church
members headed in the direction of the
grand jury.
We are going to clean out the
graft, said the alderman last night
After this it will be clean govern

To Give Aldermen Power.
In addition to the legislation, which
the aldermen of the state are having
framed up in order to give them more
authority and smash down the auto
cratic power of the mayors, other trou-
BILE is also brewing for the burgomast-
ers.
The latest legislative device is con-
strucrion of Alderman Castleman,
which. If passed by the legislature
will permit the council to take a cen
sus of a city and If it has sufficient
population to advance it from the
fourth to the third class. Under the
present laws city cannot advance un-
til federal census shows that 1t has
the requisite population, and as the
federal census is taken only once in
every ten years. the time seems mighty
long in rolling around.
A motive in Alderman Castleman's
latest move is to give a council power
to take the census formalities required
to advance a city to the third class may
lie in the fact that the only cities In
Indiana that can abolish a board OF
public works altogether is a third class
, one
Gary will soon be ripe for that class
and with the law passed the council
would soon be in the saddle controlling
/. all contracts, franchises. etc.

SENATOR PoMEReNE

Innominatinga candidate for United

Gus at Columbus Thursday afternoon,
acted wisely and well when their
choice fell upon Hon. Atlee Pomerene
The action of the caucus was as the
Banner several weeks ago predicted
It would be. To anyone carefully OBJ
there could be but one conclusion as
to the outcome and that was the Sc
lection of Mr.. Pomerene as the party
candidate to be voted for and elect
ed at the election. which takes place
on Wednesday, Jan. IL. AS soon as the
senatorial contest got fairly under
way it soon developed that Mr.. Pom
creme was the manifest choice Of the
Democrats Of Ohio, and as the cam
paign progressed all efforts to break
down the force and the sentiment of
his candidacy came to naught. In Sc
lecting him as the candidate for sena-
tor, the Democratic members of the
Legislature have kept the faith and
have builded strongly for the future,
The Pomerene campaign was con.
Quoted on high plane, characteristic
of the high-minded and clean man that
he is. His election will be eminently
satisfactory 10 the people of Ohio of
allNshades Of political belief, as it will
do credit to the state. He will make
a great senator. and will ably and ft-
tingly represent the important state of
Ohio ana do honor to the Democratic
party in electing him to the high Of
