TIMES BUREAU,
At STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan 11-Repre-
sentative Adam E. Wise of Plymouth
certainly muddied the water on the
liquor question, yesterday, when he in
PRODUCED in the house his bill for the
regulation of the saloon business in
Indiana. His bill is drastic and so
different from all of the other bills that
many of the members fairly gasped
when they read it.
What makes the situation interesting
is the apparent strained relations which
now exist between Wise and Senator
Fleming. who introduced the brewers
saloon bill in the senate. Wise and
Fleming were close friends and the
story was that Fleming was behind
Wise in the race for speaker. when he
was defeated by Albert J. veneman Of
Evansville. According to the story
which has been told. Wise got into the
speakership race because Fleming ask
ed him to. 1t is said that Fleming as
sured Wise of support, and Wise went
after the place.
In fact, Wise was regarded as Elem
ing's candidate. although il was said
at the close of the fight that Taggart
was behind Wise and was trying to put
him over. AT all events. Wise failed
to land the speakership, and it was
regarded as a defeat for Fleming as
well.
The bill which Fleming introduced
in the senate for the regulation OF the
liquor business was prepared under the
direction of the Association of Indiana
Brewers. of which he is the president.
| Wise has always been known as a lib
eral democrat, and it is remembe ed
| that he was elected a member of the
house two years ago at a special cleo
! ton held to elect a successor to Repre-
| sentative Sarber. who died during the
| sess ion. In his campaign for election
! he was in favor of changing the coun-
ty option law. The campa ign for the
| special election came on al a time when
! the county option elections were being
| held all over the state and when the
| excitement and feeling over the matter
was at fever heat. But this did not af-
| feet or deter Wise. He went right
ahead as a wet democrat and was elect
ed on that platform.
i So when he came back this time he
| was counted as one of the democrats
| that would be strongly in favor of the
| repeal of amendment of the county OPP
ton law and for other liberal legisla
| ton.
| But he has kicked over the bean POI
by introducing his saloon license bill
! Whether this indicates a break witt

At HOBART


Hobart, Ind, Jan. 17.-Sunday was a
good day in the revival being helJ
in this place and deep interest was
manifested. Evangelists S. B. Shaw
and wife held four services. Mrs.
Shaw spoke in the morning upon the
Great Commandments: Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thine heart
and with all thy soul, and with all
thy might"
To bring men into harmony with
God as revealed in this commandment
has been Gods plan of salvation in all
ages Of the world. The command is not
arbitrary. but reasonable and just and
ecessary--reasonable and just because
God has created us. given US life with
all its infinite powers and opportunities.
redeemed US with an infinite price and
borne with us in infinite tenderness and
compa ssion.
God emphasizes the affections be-
cause the affections on the seat of
character The honest man loves hon
esty. The just man loves justice. The
pure man loves purity If we are right,
we cannot but love Him who is in
finitely Just and holy. Moreover God
cannot be satisfied without anything
less than love; for love because of it's
very nature refuses to be satisfied with
anything but love in return. This is
true with the love of parent or child or
husband or wife. Much less can the
infinitely loving heart of God be sat
isfied unless we love him up to our
capacity. Love is unselfsh. 1t delights
to give. to do, to minister. Even when
ill-treated it keeps on giving, keeps on
doing, keeps on sacrificing.

Why is 1t when you come home at
night walking rather uncertain, and
after getting to your room safely, when
attempting to take off your collar, the
darn bone collar button will break with
snap like a bomb explosion waking

Why is 1T after you are costly en-
sconsed in your fiat after a. hard days
work and prepare to enjoy the even
ing that you find your wife has used
all of your tobacco to keep the moths
out of her mum?
What is the reason a woman can't
understand that lodge meetings must
be attended at night just the as bridge
whist parties in the afternoon?
Why is it that a woman will carry
mountain of false hair on her head all
day and then begin to complain of a
headache at night when its lying beside
the bed in a chair?
Why is it that a bald-headed man
will spend $2.45 in a barber shop, hav-
| ing the barber coax out a few hairs
and then go home and grumble because

cents?
