The Court House

Deputy Sheriff Mossholder went to
Marengo, Saturday afternoon, carry
ing a warrant for the arrest of Curtis
J. Spring of that place, formerly a
veterinary surgeon at Centerburg. The
warrant had been issued in Squire Per-
kins's court in Mt. Vernon on an af-
fidavit filed by Springs divorced wife,
Martha ]. Springs, now of Danville, in
which she charges that Spring on Dec.
20, 1911, administered a drug unlawful
ly to a pregnant female. 1t is said by
the officers that Mrs. Spring claims
that the drug was administered to
her.
Arriving at Marengo the deputy
sheriff learned that Spring was not
there, having gone out of the village to
call upon a girl. The officer waited un-
til Sunday morning, when he served
the warrant and brought Spring to Mt.
Vernon. He was arraigned before
Squire Perkins. Pleading not guilty,
he was held for hearing on Sept. l.
Bond was furnished in the sum of 5000,
and Spring was released from custody.
The Springs figured in the divorce
court here recently. The husband filed
suit for divorce, making some rather
sensational allegations. Mrs. Spring
came back with hot answer and
cross-petition, which she afterwards
withdrew. The decree was granted
to Spring, the wife making no further
contest.

LEARNING SLOWLY.

In Cleveland they are trying School
superintendent Frederick for dis
charging underpaid school teachers
for Joining a union after the common
pleas court ordered Frederick not to
do it. and the attorney for Frederick
wants TO show that a strike of teachers
would mean that the teachers would
force children to truancy. keep the
schools closed and keep other
teachers from accepting positions in
such a situation.
For heavens sake let the man
show it,
School management will probably
be the last to learn that cheap pay
means cheap service. Factories, Of
fees and stores are learning it but
churches, colleges and schools will
gnaw on il for some time to come.
If Cleveland cannot pay its teachers
living wages, and then some, she'd
better have truant pupils or closed
schools. Certain it is. that. through
strikes or some other efficient method,
she should bar out teachers who are
willing TO enter the school room with
empty stomachs and inspissated livers.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE.

Opposition TO new constitution
for Indiana, or at least d con-
stitutiOnal convention, non partisan in
complexion as the proposition will go
before the people at the November
election. cannot, it would seem, but
have "A sinister motive.
1t is partisan in its presentation
to the people The proposition ap-
pears on no particular party ballot,
with it the assurance that when the
delegates are elected, they will be
chosen in similar non-partisan man
ner.
1t is difficult for one to conceive of
any man being so antiquated, when
terests, as to doubt the desirab ility of
a fundamental law in this state in
keeping with the progress of the
times.
A constitutional convention does not
necessarily mean that all the fads and
will have to be adopted. We trust
ourselves to elect a new legislature
every two years and rehabilitate the
state senate every four years, and we
trust these assem- blymen and senators
TO revise our state laws. 1t is a con-
siderable of a reflection upon the in,
telligence. integrity and public spirit
of the present generation, TO say that
we cannot be trusted TO elect proper
delegates, or that the delegates that
we elect cannot be trusted to frame
for US a new cOnstitution-espe specially
when we have the wing on them Of
being able by direct vote TO accept
or reject their effort
The constitution already says that
one legislature shall not limit or re-
strict the powers or activities of the
next, which is chief among its wise
provisions. But then too, why should
the people of sixty years ago be per
mitted to limit or restrict the powers
or activities OF today. Constitutions,
remember. emerged direct from the
people. A constitutional convention
can frame new constitution but it is
no constitution until the people have
had their say-so. The opponents TO a
constitutional convention haven't a
leg TO stand On-unless they wish TO
admit that they have a personal in
terest that they cOncede To be a trifie
off-color and are afraid TO give their
fellow beings a chance at constitu-
tiOnaI resentment.
The constitutional convention ques-
ton ought to carry. There is time
enough TO cross the bridge. incident
TO adopting the constitution, when
we come to it.

A SURPRISING DEMAND.

Perhaps the most surprising demand
that has been made in the present
Vigo campaign is that the progressives
retire their candidates for circuit
court judge, prosecutor and sheriff in
favor of the republican candidates on
the ground that If the prOgressive's
won't do this the democratic candi-
dates will win and, therefore, the pro
greSSiVeS will be responsible for any
succeeding bad government in VigO.
Without taking account of the sub
lime nerve embraced in this proposal,
in consideration Of the fact that the
progressives cast nearly 5000 votes in
the county two years ago while the
standpatters were able to muster but
5000 votes, the proposal has a deeper
significance in that ii is asking the
progreSsiVes to abandon their fight for
the initiative, referendum and recall,
workmen's compensation. votes for
women, a new constitution and all
their advanced measures, simply in
order that two or three candidates Of
a discredited machine may be boosted
into offices from which their party
was previously elected by a disguised
community.
Its mighty mean-hearted man who
asks the progressive party to sur
render the virtue of its honorable pO-
sition in order to prevent Nigo county
from going on another political de-
bauch.
If Vigo county wants TO be assured
of the present political debauch
coming to an end and that the county
Will not go on further political de-
baBches, it is the duty of Vigo county
voters by an overwhelming vote, to
elect the progressive county ticket to
office. Any voter of this county who
can free his mind from partisan preju-
dice long enough to think sanely for
two minutes, knows down at the bot
tom of his heart that, based on past
performances, there isn't the shadow
of a reason to believe that Figo
county under republican rule would
be a whit better off than under its
present democratic rule. Then think
of the nerve of the proposal!
No. the progressive party will stick
TO the virtue of its position. If old
Nigo wants TO stay on its present de-
bauch by keeping in the machine 1t
has, or To go on a perhaps worse one
by putting in the other machine, then
that is the business of Vigo county.
But the progressive party very firmly
declines to being placed in any posi-
ton Of false responsibility in the mat
ter-Terre Haute Star.
