A project is afoot to connect Chi
cago and New York by tunnel. This
will be a steel bore to carry telephone
OF telegraph wires and to transmit
packages through a pneumatic or
electric tube. r Similar tunnels con
meet cities in Europe, but none have
been constructed Of such length. This
project has been capitalized by one
of tie largest contractors in the coun-
try and no stock is for sale. Not
only have the plans been completed
but the consent of towns, villages,
and private owners of property under
which the tunnel must pass have been
obtained. The bore will mostly fol-
low the railroad lines and the work
win be done very rapidly by a num-
Der of gangs, each working a mile
apart. Such an undertaking will gain
a large local traffic in passages be-
tween towns and therefore will cut
into the business of the express CON-
panies. 1t is also pointed out that the
damage to telegraph and telephone
wires by snowstorms, with the conse-
quent intermissiop of traffic, will be
avoided by putting the wires under
ground.

Farmers Taboo Supervisors

That the township road supervisor
in Indiana is a nuisance and that the
Office ought to be abolished was the
almost unanimous opinion of deiegat-
es to the state farmers congress of
Indiana in the closing session of the
organization s annual meeting at the
s~tatehouse Thursday morning. Del
egate after delegate gave accounts of
the laxity of performance among
road supervisors aid a declaration
that the Office should be abolished
met with instant response.
The opinion seemed to be that road
supervisors are largely to blame for
the wretched condition of roads in
many townships and for failure OF
the land owners to get value received
on their roads in return for the mon
ey and work expended for road pur-
poses. The practice Of railroad com
panies farming out" their road tax
es, or employing persons to do the
work for them, was denounced as one
of the grossest of the highway sys-
TEN abuses in the state and the enact
ment of some law by which the prac-
tice could be prevented was demand
ed.
The movement to establish a high
way commission in the state through
an act of the coming general assem-
bly, was approved by the assembled
farmers.

REPEAL OF COUNTY LOCAL oP
TON Law EXPECTED WITH

Many Suggestions Have Been Made
As to What Should Be
Done By Leg

The general assembly of Indiana is
scheduled to conven In indianapolis
n week from yesterday-Thursday
Jan. 5. 1911,
Not In many years has an approach
ing session of the Legislature carried
with it the general interest shown in
the n about to start. Chief inter.
est centers in the prospective repeal
of the county local option law passed
at the instance of ex-Gov. Hanly
when he called a special session OF
the legislature just prior to The elec,
ton in 1905. 1t is generally agreed In
all quarters that the law, which j.
pretty well established as a failure
will be repealed, but just what meas
ure will be substituted is now only to
be guessed at by the politicians.
Some people are insisting that moth
ing should be done with the county
local option law other than to change
the unit from the county to a unit
for cities and townships. They argue
that this action would fulfill all pledg
es made by the Democratic party IL
the last campaign. Others are declaf,
ing that a measur restricting the L.
quor traffic in Indiana should be
passed and with such a law IN pros
pect there is talk of a $1,000 license
the restriction of saloons to as few as
one for every 1000 inhabitants and
other features of much importance.
There is some agitation prevalent
for the passage.of a law for the re-
gistration of voters so as to do away
with election frauds In some of the
counties having a large population OF
foreigners.
If congress fixes the unit for con
g~ressional representation under the
1910 census the legislature will re-
district the state. 1t has also been
suggested that the state be redistrict-

1t grows and marries. The editor
publishes another long winded
fowgrv article and tells a dozen lies
about .'the beautiful and accomplish
I'd BRIDE. The minister gets $40
and a piece of cake. The editor gets
5000 and a request to carry the
rooms subscription account another
year. In the course.of time she dies.
The doctor gets from S. to 500, the
minister gets another S., the under
taker gets from SIS to $500, the
sditor publishes a notice of death and
an obituary two columns long, large
resolutions, a lot of poetry and a
card Of thanks and gets 10000. No
wonder so many country editors get

know him-who comes in the Office
and orders the paper sent to him.
Occasionally he misses a copy and at
once telephones to the office request
ing that a copy be sent. When collec-
ton day comes, he stands off the
boy, and after his account reaches
the neighborhood of $1,000 he orders
his paper stopped, and relates that he
is not worth a cent, and that he is
sorry, but don't see how You are going
to get your money. The editor gets
