SATURDAY CLUB MEETING
Selections from Eugene Field and
Francis Scott Key Given az
Interesting Session

The Saturday Club met with Mrs.
Brooke on Saturday afternoon.
The members present responded
to roll call with selections from
Eugene Field and Francis Scott Key
The subject Of the afternoon
Judge Lindsay Juvenile Courts"
was ably presented by Mrs. Julia
Work, who is an authority on juve-
nile delinquency and reform work, and
it was a great pleasure and privilege
to hear Mrs. Work on this, the great
est reform work of the age. To
Charles Dickens Mrs. Work gives the
credit of being the first philanthro-
pist who in his great love for suffer
ing children started the agitation in
England to right the wrongs of the
child. Form Dotheboy Hall to the
Juvenile Courts is not such a far

logical and permanent. While Judge
Lindsay IF Denver was the first to
found Juvenile Courts. our own
Judge Stubs of Indianapolis has
surpassed him in efficiency and the
good accomplished. A great many
questions were asked which Mrs.
Work out Of her great knowledge and
experience in Juvenile work answered
fully and clearly. and the numbers
present have deeper insight and
sympathy for this great work.

"There is but one Grand Canyon,
nowhere in the world has its like

ornamented devices, cliffs painted in
every color known to the palette,
which makes it scenic wonder un-

LEGISLATION IN INDIANA
ALONG THAT LINE rs EX-
PECTED FROM GENERAL
ASSEMBLY
BILLS ARE READY
Marshall County People Are Inter
ested In Movement for the Bet
torment of It's Public
Highways.

Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 12.-Good
roads legislation will be one of the
prominent subjects before the legisla-
ture, but there will he many other
things, also. Since the senate has
decided 10 consider bills touching
every recommendation made by Gov.
Marshall in his message, it is certain
that there will be large flood of bills
that had been expected. The senate
has appointed a committee to have
this matter In charge.
Among the good roads bills to be
introduced is one to create a state
highway commissioner and an advis-
ory board which shall serve without
pay, who shall have general control
and supervision Of the building and
repairs of all of the main highways
of the state. The bill provides that
the state and the county shall each
pay one-half Of the cost of the work,
and it provides for tax levy of one
fortieth of one cent for road purposes
The levy is made small, it is said, so
that it will not fall heavily on any
taxpayer. 1t is said that with this
small levy he promoters of the bill
hope to be able to show what can be
done with a small amount of money
properly spent.
Another road bill will provide that
road taxes shall be paid into the coun-
tv treasury in cash, except the poll
tax. as it is called. which shall be
worked out as it is now. The Office
of road supervisor would he changed
from an elective to an appointive Of
fee. There would be one supervisor
for each township, with a possible as
sistant. The township trustee would
be authorized to let contracts In
small sections for the repair Of roads
in his township preference being Civ
en- to farmers and tenants along the
roads. The person entering into the
contract would give a bond for the
faithful performances of the work.
Representative Edward M. McKen-
nan, of Dekalb county, will Introduce
bill to change the drainage law in
one respect. Under the present law
attorneys who attend to petitions and
to land appraisements receive a per
cent of the total appraisements, and
this, McKennan holds, is too much
He would, by his bill, make the attor-
ney fees depend on whatever contract
might be made between the attorney
and the other parties, the allowance
to be made by the county commits
sioners. Another provision will bt
that remonstrance against propos
ed ditch may be made only for cause
McKennan also will introduce bill
requiring all lobbyists at the legisla
ture to register their names, the bill
for which they are lobbying, by whom
they arc employed and the salaries
they receive.
A similar bill was introduced at TIN
last session but it did not get very far
The lobbyists killed it.
To Exempt Bonds From Taxes.
Representative Breining, Of DELPHI
will introduce bill to provide tina
all state and municipal bonds an
township road bonds shall be exemp
from taxation. Mr.. Breining point
out that most Of these bonds bea
only five percent interest, and tina

Cb@HE courage to be happy is what,
according to a recent writer on
Germany, characterizes an
ever-increlsing number Of young men
and women in the Vaterland. Modelling
themselves on Goethe-the serene, self
ceutered philcsopber-they yearn pri-
marilv after self-expressiOn and self-de-
vel0pment as the principal means Of pro
dUcing happiness. This selfsame spirit Is
becoming widespread here also. The VIZ
tues of self-sacrifice and self-cOntrOl are
repudiated as barriers in the way OF
complete enjoyment of life.
This IS all very praisewOrthy, per
haps. If happiness Is to be regarded rs
the highest height to which we can at
tain. But there IS something to be said
for the opinion of Lesbia, George Ber-
nard Shaw's heroine, when she said; "I'm
afraid I think this rage for happiness
rather vUlvar.' Tt must be admitted
that what are called vulgar people are
very often happy. Their wants are easily
satisfied. One recalls the plOughbOy's
ideal of bliss: TO swing on a gate all
day long and eat fat bacon. So long as
ones wants are limited to the physical,
there is q greater chance of happiness. A
holiday crowd IS more easily made iOvful

everywhere and seen everything.
