amnesty. and safe return to Mexico at

that the state treasury is again on

collections OF county treasurers for
the past six months will be due on
the first day OF November and the
funds should be forwarded to the state
at that time. Some OF the grouchy
editors have asserted that the funds
should remain in the county deposi-
tories so that the interest could be
taken advantage % II would be very
nice indeed il the several counties of
the state could keep the states funds
in the county repositories perma-

FOR A STUDENT soLDIERY.

The idea Of military training in the
high school is by no means all bad.
In fact, we are rather inclined TO
favor IT, To institute IL under the d.
rection Of anyone OF larger militarist
sentiments than Capt r r. Stogsdall
OF Notre Dame, we might question the
advisability OF IT, but we know him to
be military solely for defense, and, IL
he can discipline our young men for
military usefulness, when they are
needed, without making "jingoists"
out OF them, the idea Is a good one.
Besides a certain amount of mill
tary discipline, or the like Of it. is
izenship. One thing very much need
I'D. and growing more and more es-
sential, in this country, is respect for
established authority. IT is all right
TO change the tenor of authority, when
1T is found oppressive. but as long as
it lasts II should be respected in the
observance. Anything else is funda-
mental anarchy. We are breeding an
archy. our preachments in behalf Of
personal liberty" literally running US
amuck. We are too much inclined to
the habit of thinking that whatsoever
proves u3suited to our convenience, 1t
- 6ur right, and almost our duty to
cas-. aside, and too many of US got that
habit when we were in high school,
or during that period Of our lives
Some military discipline during that
formative age might and no doubt
would have considerable effect upon
the lives Of the youngsters, as citi-
zens as well as if they were called
upon to be soldiers, and. there are
possibilities that instead Of tending to-
tend right the opposite way. An
eventual citizenship that can listen in
teIligently TO the clap-trap of the war
trust in its direct and indirect ap-
peals for armament and ammunition
preparedness" and which might
know how much TO discount it, would
be another Of the benefcent results.
Military discipline in the schools, in
other words, coupled with historical
instruction picturing war as barbarOus
rather than as magnificent, thus elm
mating the militarist spirit--effecting
a military training to put down mill
tarism,-would be well worth the
while
We hope the school board will thor
oughly investigate the possibilities of
such an undertaking. 1t looks better
10 US than the proposed so-called
citizen sOldiery" by many fold, for it
would be fitting our young men, to an
extent, for the battles of life as we'll as
for the battles OF the field. A man
fitted. and trained. 10 fight for his
country, would seem at first flush, at
least, to be a man quite likely to have
a keen interest in the welfare of that
country, and in the maintenance Of
its institutions. No, we would not
oppose a student soldiery, such as the
school board proposes, so conducted
as to minimize war and calcu' tied TO
effect a readiness to put it down-as
you would fight fire or humble BEES
but if it were to be a militarist prOpa-
ganda. then different

THE PRIMARY LAW.
(Anderson Bulletin.D

The primary election law enacted
by the last legislature has been up
held as constitutional in its entirety
with the exception of section No. IS,
by Judge ]. NJ. Paris Of the Floyd
circuit court. at New Albany.
Judge Paris rendered an elaborate
opinion covering all phases of the law.
He is an able lawyer and exceptionally
eminent and learned Counsel argued
for and against the law, so his opinion
will be accepted by the people as an
Interpretation entitled to great weight.
Section No. 10, which was declared
unconstitutional, is the fee clause. 1t
required all aspirants to pay a fee
in advance before their names could
be placed on the ballots. This section
is held unconstitutional as being
against public policy.
So the primary law IS here TO stay
unless the supreme court DEGREES
otherwise. 1t is now the law ana NOM
nations all along the line will be I'M
der its provisions, and all parties are
governed by ii.
The people wanted primary law,
and the democratic legislature gave 1t
to them. A democratic court upholds
the law. Governor Ralston will night
for it through all the courts. The
law is a good one, and If found faulty
the next legislature will cure the de-
fects. As long as 1t is the law it is
entitled to a fair trial by the people.
1t puts nominations squarely up TO
the people for an expression OF their
choice. The people have their oppor-
tunity to rule. and no doubt will do
so. 1t gives them all an opportunity
to participate in the primary voting
which will be conducted just as ma
tional and state elections are conduct

CHURCH FOR CoNvENTIoNIsTs.

Editor NeWS-T1meS:--
South Bend is noted for her church
going, church working people. No
city the size of South Bend in the
United States, dare say, equals South
Bend in her church work, in the ac-
tivity Of all denominations. Churches
here are willingly and gladly thrown
open to any and all meetings that are
for the uplifting of humanity and the
upbuilding of Gods kingdom. 1t is
right that they should be, but they
should go further by giving a cordial
welcome to all conventionistS who
come to our city, representing differ
ent organizations. What l mean is
this: Special services, union services,
participated in by all churches, should
be given and invitations extended
through the papers of our city to
representatives attending various con-
ventionS In our city.
If you will notice you will see prior
to and during conventions in all cities
such cards as these conspicuously
placed in the windows of saloons:
welcome, Horseshoers!" welcome,
Oddfellows!" etc. Whatever the con-
vention the cards are printed to cor
respond. The saloons think of them
long before they arrive, and bid"
for theirs and not for them" The
churches should IBID for them
Many men attending conventions
would preferably attend some moral
Christian service than spend their
idle hours in saloons Let's try this
and continue to try it.
