All rlfhts of republication of spa via! dispatches herein are also reserved. r . i . b "Fighting the Spoilsmen" In "Fighting the Spoilsmen", the latest book of our fellow townsman, William Dudley Foulke, the author has written an interesting and valu able history of civil service reform in this country. After dwelling briefly on the origin and the development of the'spoils system in the United States, Mr. Foulke details the events of many wearisome years and devoted efforts spent in arousing the conscience of the people and in des troying this pernicious heritage from President Andrew Jackson. Mr. Foulke, of course, writes from personal knowledge of this great subject, as he has been for years a member of the Nation al Civil Service Reform League and was a mem ber of the Civil Serviee Commission during Presi dent Roosevelt's first administration. Indiana contributes its share to the history, Mr. Foulke having been the first president of the Indiana Civil Service Reform Association. The chapter on the "Investigation of the Indiana Hos pital for the Insane" proves how far we have traveled in Indiana in thirty years from the bane ful effects of the unreformed spoils system. Then, instead of the scientific, sympathetic, and kindly care now accorded our unfortunate insane, political appointees made free to practice cruel ties on these wards of the state and to feed them maggoty butter and. meat from hogs dying of cholera. Interesting side lights on the great figures of the times are afforded in the chapters devoted to the different presidents' administrations, Harri son, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. Harrison and Cleveland stand forth more or less as supporters of the old spoils system. McKinley, Taft and Wilson are distinguished rather as compromisers. Roosevelt, as everyone knows, typifies the golden age of accomplishment for real civil service reform. When one has finished reading "Fighting the Spoilsmen" accord is reached with one of the opening statements of the author, who says: "I think that no other public issue since the agi tation against slavery has been so elearly and incontestably proved as Civil Service Reform. Every other question has two sides and a con clusion must be formed by balancing the advant ages and disadvantages of each. There is much to be said in favor of a high tariff or a low tariff, MEETINGS SUNDAY Dr." Fred P. Fisher, of New York, campaign manager of the big $85,000, 060 drive of the Methodist Episcopal church, will speak at the Grace M. E. services Sunday at 10:30 a. m. and 2: SO p. m. Dr. Fisher has Just returned from a lis X v"f raT Or. Fred B. Fisher. world-wide survey of the mission field, and will have a great message con cerning tho work to be done by the church. His special theme for the mass meeting at 2:30 o'clock will be "America and the New World Map." Dr. Ralph Diffendorfer, of the cente nary commission will lecture in the afternoon. In the evening there wll be another mass meeting at tho First Methodist church, at which Dr. DIffendorfor will give a stercopticou lecture on Home Missions. The three MethodlBt churches of the city will unite In the afternoon and evening services. 1 "legislation by and so with other issues, arid although I have convictions in regard to these things, I think I can understand the views of those who take the other side. But the necessity of abolishing the evil which have accompanied the spoils system seems so clear and the methods proposed so per fectly adapted to the purpose that I find it hard to understand how any unprejudiced mind, after careful study of the subject,' can oppose the com petitive system." Few Bills in General Assembly The general assembly is to be congratulated on the dearth of bills introduced in the two houses so far. Only 59 bills were introduced in the house and 46 in senate after four days for the presentation of bills. Speaker Eschbach, the old ' est member in point of continuous service in the legislature, said he could not account for it. Seemingly members of the assembly have taken the hint of their constituents who are sick and tired of having the legislature tack a lot of useless laws on the statute books. Hoosiers hope both houses will keep up this record. As the ses sion draws to a close, members will be inclined to introduce small bills. This tendency ought to be curbed as soon as it crops up. Highly important bills are before the as sembly now or will be introduced shortly. The state prefers that the members devote their whole time and attention to the major legislation that is scheduled for consideration. The future welfare of our commonwealth is intimately connected with action of the general assembly on these bills. A careful consideration of these bills is essential. Let the members keep out small measures and concentrate might and main on the vital legislation. Street Should be Washed Vrom Engineering and Contracting. BY "CLEANER STREETS" we do not mean streets free only of visible dirt, but streets free of the in visible microbes that ride upon the finest grains of dust. Water, the great cleanser, should be applied dally In large quantities to all business streets, and at frequent intervals to all paved residence streets.' The germ laden dust should be flushed into the sewers before it can spread pneumonia, tuberculosis, grippe or influenza and other diseases of the nose, throat and lungs. It devolves upon every conscientious man who knows the efficacy of water as a sanitary agent to do his best to arouse the public and its representatives to the desir ability of flushing all paved streets 'periodically. The supsrintendent of every water works is particularly one who should never rest until his city's streets are as clean as a hospital floor. While it is his duty to prevent the waste of water by meterage and otherwise, it is also his duty to encourage the consumption of more water for sanitary purposes and for garden irrigation. A low per capita consumption of water should not be his ultimate goal, but rather as high a per capita consumption as may be attained after eliminating all waste.

Store "53 Years of Service" The value of a store to a community is always meas ured by the kind of service it renders. Over half a century ago the Knollenberg Store was established by Mr. Geo. H. Knollenberg, who through his untiring efforts, honest dealing and close application to business, made great strides in a commercial way. His business increased with leaps and bounds. He never lost sight of anything that pertained to the welfare of his employees and by this splendid policy he quickly surrounded himself with an organization that helped to make possible the splendid results and high standard of The Knoll enberg Store of today. We regret to say that on December 20, 1 9 1 8, it was our misfotune to lose Mr. Knollenberg as leader and counselor of our organization. His great and splendid achievements shall not be in vain for the store will be continued in his name and in his mem ory by the company he organized, with increased vigor and energy. We know this can only be done by meeting the expectations of the public whom we serve. Our endeavor shall ever be to have not only the correct merchandise at the right price which is the first essential, but with reliability, efficiency, promptness and courtesy, we hope to merit your continued confidence in the future.
