Another attempt will be made at the
coming sessions Of the Indiana State
Legislature to have a bill passed which
has for its object the taking out of poll

Those interested in such Il measure will
again introduce a bill providing that
the Judges of all county courts, such as
Criminal. Circuit, Superior and Juvenile
Courts, be elected at u special election,
regardless of party affiliations.
Attempts have been made in the past
to have the Legislature pass such a
measure, but all efforts have failed. It

election Of judges and the proposed bill,
which is now being prepared, would com

Solved.


HARTFORD CITY, Ind. Dec. A.
Coroner Shadday this afternoon held an
inquest in order to solve the mystery
surrounding the finding Of a torso OF n
woman in the ruins Of dwelling burned
on the farm Of Merritt Chapman near
here.
Authorities at first believed that there
was evidence of murder having been
committed and It was thought that the
dead woman was Mrs. William Frazier,
IS. who previous to a separation from
her husband had lived in the house. This
was diSproved, however, this afternoon,
when Mrs. Frazier was located ut Alex
andia.
The fact that the charred body was
positively identified as that OF woman,
disrOses OF the original theory that
Frazier had committed suicide and 1t was
announced late today that Frazier was
seen in the vicinity Of the burned prem
ises Friday. but has since disappeared.

SOUTH FACING RUIN"-BUT
WHAT OF THE WEST?

At a recent agricultural conference
in Washington committee report
was made declaring that the farmers
OF the country were facing ruin un-
der present conditions and that the
cotton planters Of the south were
practically "up against it," 1t was
asserted by men representing the
planters that unless the government
moves at once to aid the growers,
the south will meet an Overwhelming
disaster. The situation is so desper-
ate, one of the men of the conference
stated, that many growers "are lit
orally on the verge of suicide"
A committee has been appointed to
call at the White House to seek fed
eral relief and as three prominent
senators and representatives from
Georgia and North Carolina are on
the committee doubtless the south
ern cotton growers will be taken
care of. At the same time their
brethren of the west, the farmers
and stockgrowers of the intermount-
ain country, are suffering just. as
severe proportionate losses and their
industry is in just as critical condi-
ton. The cattle market has been in
a slump for over a year., and there
are Snake river cattlemen who are
losing their ranches because last win
ter they could not buy high priced

study these things, the greater values
they will see In such transactions as
we have been discussing and COM
menting on. Students Of business all
agree that sentiment has q value;
that good will has a value; that the
habits of the people have q value;
and in the transactions we have been
speaking of the whole matter has
tended to create and cultivate friend
ship, good will. good sentiment and
cooperation, and in these there is
q great value which has not been
mentioned in the earlier part Of this
article.

country have reason for much re-

hay and feed their steers at a profit.
The same can be said Of the sheep
men, and hundreds of thousands Of
dollars have been lost and men gone
broke" financial institutions have
been pinched and in some cases gone
to crash, ranches have been closed
out and ambitions of a lifetime
ruined, yet we do not hear of these
men running to Washington for aid.
They are suffering their losses in
the spirit that men of the west have
always displayed and are laying
plans to rec0up their losses when
of federal aid to tide over the present
situation the western stockgrowers
should be included. During the last
conditions again become favorable.
Planters Of the south no doubt
need assistance, but so do the stock
growers of the west, and IL the gov
erpment is going to launch a system

friends at court" in Washington
than the west and If past events re-
peat in this situation the west will
be left to fight its own battle.
The Washington conference re-
veals a very critical situation gener-
ally, which is attributed to restric-
ton Of credits, raising the rates of
discount on farm products and the
discontinuance of war finance cor
porations. 1t is a time for the ex-
ercise of the best possible judgment,
but whatever is done any sectional
bias should not enter into the con-
sideration.-H. p. P.

Awful Possibility.-An Australian

was good thing for the city and
good thing for the country and the
way they divided the expense and
speeded up the construction was
good way to arrange it. It was as
good stroke for the promotion of
good feeling and every advantage as
the purchase of the water works by
the town from the water company.
There is no reason why the people
OF the town or the country should
longer hesitate about improvements
in this rich county backed by agri-
cultural wealth and resources. There
is no danger in going in debt to any
reasonable extent to secure these
prime necessities such as we have
been discussing. There is no danger
of the bottom falling out of business
or out of the resources Of the
country. It is all on a substantial
basis. Our Indebtedness is compare
lively low, our prospects are UNI
usually high, our resources justify
tremendous efforts, and the town and
country should join hands in going
forward with every enterprise posi-
BILE.
But after all has been said regard
ing material things, such as we have
been discussing in this article, the
greatest gain which the town and
country has made in the transactions
of Tuesday night in the purchase of
the water works has been the pro-
motion of good will and friendship
and cooperation among the people
of the community. The more people
