OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
AN ANSWER THAT DOESN'T AN
sWER.H F5l,

IA -1.sW.Egf x GlNnN 'EffaT.#
This trust problem is not I; qucs-
ton for children, The answers arc
about as numerous as the answerers.
In Missouri the answer was to pro-
vide that monopolies should be ex-
PEELED from the state. Under that
statute a decision was obtained GUST
Ing two subsidiaries of the oil trust
and fining them $4,000 each. This
week the supreme court of the Unit
ed States affirmed that finding. The
decision of the higher tribunal was
sweeping. Seemingly it leaves no
question that state governments
have comprehensive powers in deal
ing with monopolies. t
IS this, then the answer to the
question? Is 1t the right course to
have tho states prepare themselves
aHt1f ~ :. r | tMNItNttf'N Xxx
to eject trusts from their borders?
II all the states OF the union would
follow thid course, where could a
trust gain a foothold? In Missouri,
after the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana and the Republic Oil Com
pany, both members Of the oil trust
family. we're excluded from the state,
the state officials began to wonder
what the next chapter would be.
That left the state to the Waters
Pierce otil.Company tandt p few small
sbldspandents concerns The fear. at
once AeveiSped that the limited num-
Der bf concerns left to supply the
state would naturally bring about
Just the condition the state was try
ring tofaYoid. Therefore II. was pro-
posed That the state supreme court
appoint state representatives to the

prices we're reasonable and that the
states laws we're observed. This

not a confession that. itlhie custer plan
iJoi trust regulation is a failure, thel
it' means nothing. !.
lss 1t DIS notfan easy matter for state
or federal governments to attempt
to regulate trusts and still leave
with them the power to continue te
maintain themselves as trusts.

STARTED FUND FOR
PERMANENT HOME
CORN PALACE COMMITTEE RE.
SERVED NEARLY ALL THE
TO BUILD PERMANENT
CORN PALACE.

The corn palace committee at its
meeting took the first step, suggested
at a meeting of the Commercial Club
: a year and a half ago when the last
burned. At that tlme it was. sug-
gested that a permanent fund ought
to be started with the idea of Sc
curing ground and building a per-
manent home for the corn palace.
This idea was carried out when the
committee laid aside about $4,000
and placed it out at interest. and to
remain there until enough had been
secured to build the new structure
on its own site. About 500 was
reserved from the profits of last
years palace with which to pay some
expenses through the preliminary
work.
Appoint Soliciting Committee.
The placing of this money in that
fund will leave the committee with
out any available money with which
to make the start on the OIL palace
for 1912. The Commercial Club
which was in session at the same
time took up the matter OF appoint.
ing a soliciting committee to pro.
vide the necessary funds, and Presi-
dent Ronald named the following
men: Robert Burns, j. T. Morrow
and +. j.. Herrick. These gentlemen
will be around shortly to raise the
usual guarantee for the beginning
of the palace, and about the. same
amount of money will be required as
i'll former years.
Will Have Short Course.
The Commercial Club took actor
on the request of the State Corr
Growers to know if the school o
animal husbandry would be held il
connection with the other CONVEX
lions next January. The club votct
unanimously to hold the short cours,
in animal h%usbandry and assured tn

MAY 9th THE FIRST DATE
Failure To Register Disquali6es An
Otherwise Legal Voter, So Do
Not Neglect This
Matter.

1t is less than four weeks to the
first day for registration, and
though the law has been published
at length, there are still some who
do not understand it, and some
have not even learned that The law
is in force. For the information of
such We give a short explanation Of
how to do on registration days.
The Indiana Legislature in 1911
passed what is known as the Regis
tratiOn Law, and provides for the
selection of a Board which shall
hold three sessions to allow voters
to register. The first session will
be held Thursday, May 9, and is
known as the May session. The
second session will be held on Fri
day, September 6, and is known as
the September session. The third
session is set for Monday, October
Z. and is known as the October
session.
The law provides that every voter
must register in the precinct in
which he lives either at the May,
September or October session of
the Registration Board. before he
is entitled to vote at the November
election.
Every person who would be en-
titled to vote in any precinct at the
coming November election under
the laws in force at the time of the
passage Of the Registration law, is
entitled to register on May 9th. A
person must now have the same
qualifications to vote at the Novem-
Der election as was required of him
IN previous elections, the only diff
ference being that a person must
now, in addition to these qualifica-
tlons, be registered. Any person
(male) who is now twenty-one
years old. but who will be twenty
one years old on or before cleo
ton day in November, is entitled
to and must register.
By Section 8 of the Registration
Law, the Board of Registration will
be in session on May 9th "from
the hour of five O'Clock a. m, until
the hour of six o'clock p. m, and
as much longer as an application
shall be presented every five min-
utes, but not later than eight
O'Clock p. m, and shall remain in
session, if necessary to accommodate
the voters, during like hours Of the
next one or two succeeding days,
when so requested in writing by
five voters of the precinct. )"
IF this provision of the law is in
voked, every one will have an op-
portunity to register at some one of
the registration days.

Word came to Plymouth Tuesday

She came to Marshall county in

At the time of her Tooth anni-
versary, in 1909, a very elaborate
celebration of the event was held.
There was program, and a bic
dinner, with many visitors to see
this remarkable lady. She has re-
tained all her faculties, with the
exception Of sight, which has failed
her in the last few years. Mrs.
Nifong was a great reader, and
was well informed on the happen
ings of her lifetime, and could re-
late much Of what has made the
history of the last century. She had
of course lived past the years of
activity, but her declining DAYS
have been a blessing to the rela-
tives and friends who have been
near her.
Her living children are Mrs.
Martha Weissert aged 90. James c.
aged 63, and Joel w. aged 50. She
was living with her son James at
the time of her death. When she
was leo years old, there were six
teen grand children, and thirty
great grand children.
The funeral will be held Thurs
day afternoon, April Is, and the
friends will leave the house at two
O'Clock, and be at the Jacoby
church at about three, where the
services will be held.

VERY NEAR THE END
Decision Of Supreme Court Sends
Matter Back To Circuit Court,
With the Law Given for
It's Decision.

1t was on June 7th, 1909. that
the contract was given by the
County Commissioners Of Marshall
county to Arthur w. O'Keefe for
the repairs and alterations of the
Court House.
On June Is of that year. Jacob
Ness brought an action for q
permanent injunction against the
County Commissioners and Mr.
O'Keefe, and as the work was be-
ing proceeded with, on July II he
filed his bond and an application
for temporary injunction, and
asked for a change of venue from
Judge Bernetha. Samuel Parker
of South Bend was agreed on as
the special Judge to try the case.
The case was presented and
argued before Mr.. Parker, and on
August 2nd. he decided the case pro-
hibiting O'Keefe from going on
with the work, and granting the
temporary injunction. and declar-
ed the contract null and void Mr.
O'Keefe at once asked a change
of venue from Mr.. Parker. This
being in vacation of court. when
the September term convened
Judge Bernetha appointed Moses
B. Larry of Logansport to try the
case during the court on the
permanent injunction. Tt was then
September "a, 1909, and on Oct 20,
having heard the evidence and
gone over the contract. Judge
Larry decided that the contract as
relating to the interior decorations
of the court room was void, but
upheld the contract in all other
respects, and dissolved the tempor-
airy injunction granted by Judge
Parker.
Mr.. Ness then appealed the case
to the Appellate court, and on
April 27, 1910, Judge C. M,
Hadley gave the opinion of the
Appellate court. that the decision
as to the interior of the court
room was correct, and that the
work should be enjoined, and also
deciding that all other parts of
the contract were also void, and
completely reversed the decision of
Judge Larry.
The next step was the fling of a
petition by Mr.. O'Keefe for a re-
hearing by the Appellate court, and
on Dec. ID, 1910, Judge Hadley
made a second decision which
completely reversed his former de-
cision, and held that the contract,
aside from the interior decora-
tions of the court. room for which
there were no specifications, and
