of commission to control the coal bus
mess in Indiana, fig the price Of coal,

take over and operate the mines AS
far as we recall, no such drastic meas

legislature. But on the other hand there
has seldom been such desperate situa-

That there is something wrong with the
coal business Is all but universally be-
neved. It seems to be impossible to find
out what It Is, or to devise remedies for
the existing evils, which are great and
sore. It Is not surprising that the pro-
posed plan should be popular, so greatly
have the people suffered. Generally
speaking the country is surfeited with
commissions. Here Ia one providing
several comfortable salaries. The. ap-
pointees are to be allotted to the gov
erner, the lieutenant governor and the
speaker Of the house, one each, certainly

those clothes from Denver, where he
acquired them lawfully, and if they
didn't believe it they could call up
the police and see if anybody had
lost such an outfit. He put it SO
strong that they finally did call the
police. Calvert was right. They
had no knowledge of anybody losing
such an outfit But just for luck
they took him up and Investigated.
There were some identifying numbers
on the suits and an inquiry sent to
the clothing house said those suits
had been sent to Rouska- Rouska

clothes were ever here was the cloth
ing clerks Message. Calvert was
bound over to circuit court, however

Although the smaller apartment
