By EDWIN A.NYE. Copyright. tDOft by. American "Press Association. Some of the hide bound democratic papers who put Governor Marshall upon a pedestal during the campaign are beginning to do some gasping. They do not like Mr. Marshall's bluntness. They do not like him to call a spade a spade when they are used to calling a spade a pickaxe. Gov. Marshall' said recently: "I have been hoping fro day to day that the really important meas ures in the interests of the people would be taken up by the house of representatives, passed by. a democratic majority and put to a republic an senate, giving it an opportunity to play politics or serve the public. I still hope that these things will be done, but they will never be done if it is necessary for me td threaten, bulldoze, bribe or plead with any member ot the legislature to do his duty. When this session of the legislature shall have adjourned, if the democratic party as represented in the legislature shall not have kept its pledges to the people, it must be understood that the breach of fidelity has been a breach of the leg islative and not a breach of the executive department of the state." This letter plainly shows how disgusted Governor Marshall is with the miserable showing thus far made by the democrats in the legislature. It is almost over and what have they done? It is evident that Governor Marshall has about given up all hope that anything will be done. The leeter is about the sharpest, tritest rebuke to the democrats that Governor Marshall could have given. You know it was quite customary for demo cratic sheets to rail at the last republican legislature for Its work but you don't hear a peep nowadays from them because of democratic Inactivity and-clumsiness-in the house PRAISED FOR THEIR VOTE. Thatt Senator Bowser has declared himself opposed to to the repeal of the county local option law and that Representative E. W. Wickey voted against its repeal is a source of much satisfaction to the temperance people in their respective ' constituencies who have been watching the battle from afar with a great deal of interest. Just as Representative Kliver has Messrs. Bowser and" Wickey have been complimented by the anti-saloon element which declares that the local option law will not be wiped off the statute books. There is no question, whatever, but that the future of a host of politicians is involved in the liquor fight at Indianapolis, that two years hence will cause them to gnash their teeth because of the steps been denounced by the temperance people for voting to repeal the bill, they have taken and the votes registered against their names. The ques -tion of local option has by no means been sidetracked. It will bob up again and. again and again. The temper of the common people of Indiana, and of course we do not mean that the brewers are common people, is not to be lessened by a state legislature. As wise and astute a leader as Governor Thomas R. -Marshall1 knows that only too well. THE TROUBLES OF A REPORTER. A LESSON FOR OLD FOLKS. Susan B. AnthonylIedattbe'ae of eighty-six. Up to within a .year of her, death. Miss Anthony never walked stairs. SHE ALWAYS RAN UPSTAIRS. That is the testimony of relatives and friends. This remarkable woman took. excel- lent care of her bodily health and,. above all things, always maintained a hopeful spirit She KEPTCHER-MINIX YOUNG. To those of mature-years thatia half the battle. It has been said a wo man is as old as she looks, a man as old as he feels. Bat looks are largely a matter of feeling. He or she who feels young IS young. The man or woman who keeps in vital touch with the ongoing of things, one who always shows a keen interest in life, cannot CANNOT, mind you grow infirm of mind or dull of spirit. A ripe old age that has behind it few regrets, which is the ripened fruit of temperate and sane living, ought to be the happiest age of all. Do not let yourself grow slouchy with the years slouchy in your THINKING, HABITS or DRESS Dress alone has much to do with cleanly living and right thinking. If you have a hobby, follow it. If you champion a reform, work at it Cultivate enthusiasm. Encourage hope. Say to yourself, "I must see the outcome of my striving." Read the new books. Accustom your self to tho spirit of progress. Keep in vital touch with YOUNG PERSONS. Above all else, CONTINUE TO THINK. He who ceases to think be gins to die. An active mind will keep an old body- active a long time. Men, like trees, often begin dying at the top. Do not indulge too much in that weakness of advancing years looking backward. LOOK AT THE ROAD AHEAD. New Ideals -are "in front of you. Look, forward. Determine to etay young, in soul. Let go of the material world as much as possible. Cultivate the spiritual. The spiritual is nine-tenths of you. It dominates matter. And thus may you grow old beauti fully and naturally. Passion Is past. Enjcyment is pure and sane. Keep young in heart and you will put a? halo around those gray hairs of yours. That is one of "the lessons' of Miss Anthony's life. Some people think it is a very easy matter to be a reporter and go around asking people questions. Perhaps it is sometimes. More often it isn't, especially if you want to get accurate information. One of the hardest tasks imaginable is to get a man to describe a woman's gown. Recently In a city not a hundred miles away from Lake county, there was a wedding in high society. A reporter was sent around to get a story of the wedding The couple had just left the church and the best man and the minister were 'all that could be found. After getting the particulars of the wedding the reporter said: "Well, what did the bride wear?" The clergyman and the best man looked at each other dubiously and then blankly at the reporter "Blue," suggested the best man uncertainly. "Silk?" questioned the min Ister with a noble regard for accuracy. "Oh, no," said the best man readi ly, "it wasn't a traveling . gown, you know. It wasn't silk. It was er-some- thing else." "Anyhow," exclaimed the clergyman ith a great inspiration "she wore a beautiful directoire hat." Even the best man laughed. "She did, too," asserted the clergyman, "you know yourself it was so big that you couldn't kiss her when 'you wanted to." Now, what would you do if you. were a reporter In a case of that kind? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? up m mm I IN INDIANA PREACHERS OPPOSE BlRLESatE. Ministers of Crawfordsvllle have ex pressed strong adverse opinions regard ing- a burlesque performance here Tues-, day evening.

Jones, a member of the police board, was appealed to today by a preacher to stop the performance. Mr. jones consulted E. C. Meservey, city counselor, who is looking up the law to see what. can be done. The preacher's objection was that this show should be offered to the public while the "Gypsy" Smith .meetings are In progress. What will be the result? Well, we'll tell you. The Shubert theater will be packed to the flies. Men and women wil fight to get in the theater. The orchestra wil be packed in the pit so closely that the fat slide trom--bone player will miss a note in every bar and when Miss Hoffman goes to other places the advertising she is receiving in Kansas City will fill the opera houses to capacity. That's what the preachers are doing for Gertrude.

Mr. Biddle likes to hunt 'possums at night; Mr. Fergu son does not, and says any one who hunts 'possums is a chump.-Globe. THE CREAM OF THE Morning News RANDOM THINGS AND FUNGS The respectable colored people of Gary, the law abiding class, and there is a surprisingly large number of them, are to be sympathized with because of the efforts of the law-breaking negro to bring them into dis repute and scandal. There are a large number of colored people in Gary who deplore the carousing and rioting for which some of their own people are directly responsible for and they propose to take steps to bring about a" reformation. Let the negroes of Gary realize first of all that they will never be able to rid their name of the disgrace cast upon it by disreput ables until such resorts as the Davy Johnson place are wiped out of exist ence. It is such places as Johnson's where the eril is wrought. The low negro's visits to this den result in crime. When Gary is rid of Johnson and his ilk, the way for reformation among the negroes will be clearer.

So far as congress is concerned the bar to the acceptance by Senator Knox of the state portfolio in the Taft cabi net was removed today when the house passed the bill reducing the salary of the secretary of state. The bill at first was defeated through the failure of two-thirds of the members to vote for it, but It was brought up a second time under a special rule and passed by a majority vote. Without a dissenting voice the bill The house committee on labor Sat urady afternoon agreed to report fa vorably the employers' liability bill, introduced by Bassett.

It provides chiefly that in a suit for damages aris ing from injuries or death sustained while an employe is engaged at his usual work, the employe shall not be regarded as having assumed a risk when his injury or death is In any part due to the work of any other servant, and that In such accidents or conse quent suits, the rulo as to contributory negligence oa the part of the employes A.
