who opposed the Governors plan.
Shively was temporary chairman of this
convention and made speech in which
he fought against the Novernor's plan
and urged the convention TO decline to
make any nomination for United states
Senator. But the convention refused 10
listen to him. and decided by a majority
of thirty votes to make a nomination
It selected John W. Kern for the place.
Now, since this precedent has been
set by the Democratic state convention
IL is not at all unlikely that the next
state convention may do the same thing,
and this Shively would be pleased TO
head off. According to one of the
Democratic who are talking Goetz for
state chairman. Shively still believes
the state convention should keep its
hands off the senatorship. He does not
want the convention to nominate a man
for senator the year that he is can
didate for reelection Shively would
not care to take the chance. Therefore,
a state organization that would be
friendly to him next year would be In
position TO do great deal toward
framing up as to keep the senator
ship out of the state convention In 1914.
InIS OH1NelN feature VI the 1osiI thih
is regarded here one of the main
reasons why the inside of the machine
is planning to make Goetz chairman.
The machine is for Shively and natural
ly it would do anything that might ad
vance his chances for reelection.
The talk about Fabius Gwin. of
Shoals. for state chairman, is said by
some Of those on the inside to be mere
talk. They say that he is not going ia
be elected, but that the talk is for the
purpose of aking 1t easier for him to
be reelected district chairman for the
Second district. 1t has been generally
said that Gwin was the Taggart can
didate for state chairman. but the Goetz
talk has taken the wind out of that
proposition. None of the other candi-
dates thus far mentioned for the place
is regarded as strong, and none of them
has a chance, according to the latest In
formation. Goetz Is the one best bet,
accordin gto the latest inside informa- :
ton.

When number of saloonkeepers
resort keepers, young girls and boys
were arraigned in court it was noticed
that the resort keepers rode to court
in automobiles and paid their fines out
of the cash bond they had put up.
This is the story of the corruption
of Michigan City in the interests of
BUSINESS. 1t is the old, old story OF
parental neglect that leads to the ruin
of young girls. The hideous face OF
vice no longer terrifies the people OF
Michigan City. They have grown &C

THE INTEGRITY OF COURTS

Today the city of Chicago and the
state of Illinois will be in the throas
OF a Judicial election. The campaign
has been notable for the reason that
1t has been necessary for the metro
politan papers TO point out the dam
gers; first, of corporate influence in
the selection of judges, and secondly.
OF general Indifference on the part Of
citizens which might result in the Sc
lection of inefficient judges by the
floating vote of the slum districts.
While the Shiny trail of graft has
been found in Lake county, principal
~ among the officers of the larger mu-
nicipal corporations, the people of this
county are to be congratulated upon
the fact that its judges, without ex
ception, are efficient, honest men.
There are how three judges in Lake
county and the fourth, who alter
mates between Lake and Porter coun
ties. All four OF them are men of un
questioned integrity and ability. The,
are credit to the bar of the count,
and state.
Lake county now has number O
large corporations, but so far the,

fiuence in the selection of judges tina
would be friendly to their interests.
Exact justice. in so far as it is pos
sible to deal out justice under on

has been melted out to criminals o
high and low degree. If there has beel

DEGRADATION OF A CITY.

Mark Twain once wrote a story in
with a strong personality, a suave, af-
fable manner and adjustable morals
was able to corrupt an entire COM
munity. That man found city law
transformed it into city of grafters
A few years ago Lake county was
contaminated in the same manner by
Chicago influences. The present af-
fiuence of several Lake county citizens
dates back TO the old prizefight and
race track days
Michigan City is now under the
stigma of a contamination that is even
worse. In Michigan City the morals
of the community are being degraded
in the interests of business" We,
from the outside who have visited that
fair city, know it to be a fact 1t is
patent. Why is it?
The corruption of the city began
with the establishment of line of
and Michigan City. Every day during
the summer season the excursion
| boats would deposit between 500 and
| 1000 people in the CITY. These peo-
rougher element of the city of Chica-
go. They went to Michigan City in
search of adventure.
They spent money in the saloons,
restaurants and stores Michigan City
prospered with the trade of the ex-
cursionists. The town lid was lifted
sky high. Did any one complain that
the city was wide open? That com
plain was hushed up by the explana-
Ition that an open town is good town
for business.
i Thus it is seen that even ~the mer-
chants were willing to profit Indirect
ly by the lowering of the moral tone
Iof the city Conditions became amaz-
ingly corrupt.
Saloonkeepers violated the law with
impunity. Winerooms were the ad-
junct of every groggery. Brothels

WHY HESITATE?
An otter That Involves no Risk For Those
Who Accept II

We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that we
offer to furnish it free of all cost if it
fails.
Constipation is caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestions or descending colon. To ex-
pect cure you must therefore tone up
and strengthen these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Or1erlies
on our guarantee. They are eaten like
candy, and are particularly ideal for
children. They act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels. They
have a neutral action on the other
organs or glands. They do not purge or
cause any inconvenience whatever.
They will positively overcome chronic
or habitual constipation and the myriads
of associate or dependent chronic all
ments. Try Rexall Orderlies at our
risk; Two sizes, l0c and 25c. Sold
only at our store-The Rexall Store. F.

lions at our meetings to issue orders

NEW EQUALIZATION

STATE SENATE PASSES BILL TIC
CREATE ONE; THE HOUSE
is ADVERSE.
1T is ONE OF THE MOST IMPORT.
ANT PIECES OF LEGISLATION
PASSED AT THIS SESSION.
II Was One of the Measures Advo.
Gated by Governor Osborn In
His Message.

The Senate passed Senator Whites
bill creating a new state board OF
equalization. 1t is one of the most
important pieces of legislation passed
by the Senate this session. A similar
bill, introduced in the House in the
early part of the session, was smoth'
cred in the House committee. 1t was
one OF the measures advocated by
Gov. Osborn in his message. The
bill provides that the state board OF
equalization shall consist of the audi
tor-general, secretary of state, state
treasurer, commissioner of the state
land Office and the chairman of the
state tex commission. The present
state board includes the lieutenant
governor, and the White bill substi-
tutes the chairman of the state tax
commission in his place.
Senator Wards bill establishing
standard provisions in accident insur.
ance policies and a measure intro
duced by Senator White requiring SUI
pervisors to make tented state
ments of the financial conditions of
their respective townships each year
was passed on third reading.
Senator Newton, of Ypsilanti, de-
sires TO change the system or lnVes-
tigating state institutions by doing
away with the old plan of appointing
a commission to do the work. A bill
introduced by him authorizes the gov
ernor Of the state and the attorney
general to employ such assistance as
they may deem necessary when they
desire to have a public institution
investigated. Under the provisions OF
the Newton bill the governor and at.
torney general would be in charge OF
such an investigation and nothing in
the bill would prevent them from hir'
ing detectives at the state expense.
All employees engaged under the pro-
visions of the bill would be paid on
a per diem basis. The measure has
the approval of the governor.
A concurrent resolution introduced
by Senator White provides for a radi.
cal change In thespresent system OF
dispensing justice by amending the
state constitution. The amendment
provides that when a jury has delib'
Grated On case for at least six
hours, and three-fourths or more OF
the jurors are of one opinion, such
conditions are sufficient to constitute
verdict.
