The argument in the legislature over increases in

ton Some Of the members OF the legislature argued
that the salary small that there is induce

apos to make laws for the Others argued that
the right kind Of men would not seek any other in
ducement than the knowledge that they doing
something for the state.
This argument naturally suggests the question of
which type of men make up the present legislature
the men who have come TO Indianapolis for money, or
rather who would come for money only or men who
would for the good their state. There little
doubt that there is not member of the legislature who
came Indianapolis for the money the job. If he
did he has been badly fooled. But this does
sarily imply that he to indianapolis for the good
he could There another and more potent
Most legislators indiana polls the
publicity they can get out of holding their jobs and with
view Of getting something better politically
Whatever the motives Of the present members of the
Legislature may be this is certan is largely made up
of of only small ability largely failures in other
lines Of work who have turned to small politics TO pick
up what crumbs may dropped
But should the legislature be considered small poll

legislature has produced sturdy leaders state

In recent years however the presence of big men,
OF real leaders in the legislature, has been lacking In
the present legislature there is hardly leader worthy

speaker himself be nearly the only OF
legislative caliber the lower house. In senate
there is a small number of who leaders and
who of the type of men which should elect &c

Editor News-Times:
Permit me 10 congratulate you on
your editorial in the issue of Satur-
day. Feb. %, respecting the betrayal
by the draft boards of conscientious
directors The attitude OF many of
these boards was in direct contraven-
ton Of the purpose of Pres't Wilson,
who sought, not 10 force these men
into military service and then send
them TO fight. but to give them en-
ployment along civil and non-com-
bative lines.
I never was able 10 understand
why this was done, because IL was
apparent TO me from the beginning
that Pres't Wilson wished to respect
the conscience Of those who honestly
did not believe in war. However as
you aptly put it. the boards AFRO

One way TO get whisky and wine
and other liquor without fear of vio-
lating the Indiana prohibition law is
10 be an expert witness in the trial
OF a case in which the defendant is
charged with having the unlawful
possession Of liquor.
OF course the expert witness does
not get enough 10 divide up with his
friends or anything like that. but ne
usually gets enough TO take some
home with him. but he has to take it
in the form of a package"
It is wonderful how much an ex-
pert can stand up under sometimes.
over in the city court Detective
John PABLO acts as expert witness
when it comes to telling whether the
fluid introduced as evidence is the
real article or whether il is some
form of temperance connection.
Court Bailiff Frank Murphy usual
" pours out the evidence to be test
ed. and Mr.. Murphy is of a generous
disposition when 1t comes 10 giving
the expert sufficient amount
OF evidence 10 test.
PABLO always smacks his lips and
then declares, 1T is whisky"
He never says whether it is good
whisky or bad whisky, he simply
says that II is whisky. Sometimes
the evidence has kerosene in II, and
sometimes it has other things in It.
but il is never so bad that PABLO
won't smack his lips and declare,
1T is whisky"
Sometimes the court officials be-
come expansive and they put on
several expert witnesses, and when
they do there is always an appre-
ciable diminishing of the evidence.
particularly when Mr.. Murphy pass
es out the evidence TO be tested.
However, it is not going to last
forever. and some day there will not
be any more evidence to be tested.
Then South Bend will be dry.

Fresh selling pressure developed in

The trading in the other locals was
of familiar dcsultory character and re-
suited in only fractional chipping Of

position to move cautiously and await
developments rather than to sacrifice
current holdings at going prices.
