Dull at tha Horse Auction. Considering th approach of th holiday eeason, when the horse market is perhaps the dullest of the year, there was a fair run arrived for the local auction, about two hundred and twenty five head. There were a few eastern buyers of extra good heavy drafters, which they bought at retail prices about steady with last week In the auction, however, there waa nn competition for such kinds, and many couiii not oe aim even at anarpiy lower prices. Cheaper horses were also difficult to acll and shippers said the auction was th dullest of the season. The only trouble was to find enough buyers to take the supply.

The demand, was principally fur a class of horses that have ten cially fed and in other ways, such as in size ana quamy. are mucn better than the average run of stock. There are many horses coming good enouch to sell t'n iV but the trade In the auction seems more generally for a class that sells under liTo. Chicago Grain Movement. December 14 Articles.

A commission merchant calls attention to the losses suffered by poultry men and farmers from what he terms "mere care lessness In marketing their eggs. They should mote careful about keeping tlMr product clean and marketing.

It in It tUIIUIWVll. The point in general is well taken, but the fault lies as much with th country merchant and produce buyer as with th farmer. Eggs are eggs at these markets. It makea no difference whether they are graded as "plain dirtiea," "stained" or "smeared." the same price is paid th producer. It Is so much a dosen, good, bad or indifferent, as far as outside cleanliness goes.

Th ordinary farmer and his wife do not have time to wash and polish eggs when it is not even thanks they get for It. Farmers are human they act as other people when It cornea to doing extra work for nothing. When sending to a market which distinguishes between dirty and clean eggs by a difference in prlc there is an Incentive to furnish the better appearing product. But as the great majority of the egg product passes through the common, nondiscriminating market, little improvement can be expected aa to their general clean linesa Work is work on th farm, and if It does not show a profit, there are few who are going to do it.

Th approach of th holiday had a narrowing effect this morning on the price of wheat. There was a general tendency upward following an advance in European quotations, but th foreign rise seemed to chiefly a reflection of previous firmness ii America, and therefore did not exert aa much influence a usual here. Argentine advices were construed aa sligatly bullish, those from Ilussia th reverse. Winter wheat In Illinois was reported sufferii for want of rain. Corn strength gav reason for additional firmness.

Assertion that car shortag would lessen receipts, led to a little strength in corn. Purchases by. a leading elevator and packing concern caused a further rise. trac of stiffness, appeared in oats, owing to lightness of offerings. Free buying of ribs made th provision market firm regardless of a decline In hogs.

Highest Price for Codfish GLOUCESTER. December 14. The highest price ever paid for codfish at this port was recorded when the catch of the schooner Hattie A. Haekman was disposed of at the rate of $5.64 a hundred pounds for large fish and $5 a hundred for medium sixe fish and "snappers," Locally, the fish which brought this record price is known as eastern dock hand line cod. The previous high price was leached during the civil war.

Codflsh values have risen steadily in the last few months, due, the dealers nay, largely to increased demand brought about, by the rise in rrlce of other foodstuiTs.

A. W. Thomson Market Letter. December 14 Wheat It was a peculiar market in on way th only bull news that was regarded as impostant was the low condition given on central and southern Illinois, and yet in the end July, the new crop month, was up but Sc. while the other months showed net gains over Tuesday' close of T31Vc.

Dull leaders mad enough show of buying first hour to start market up and a little shorts were chiefly responsible for the later advance. At th opening th trade was a little surprised by th firmness at Liverpool, which appeared to be based on som advance In wheat futures at Buenos Aires at th close Tuesday. Th cables reported Russian news most favorable and spot wheat waa a little changed and fairly good inquiry from the continent The Illinois state report showed condition in big central counties of 86 and in th south end of the state 75. Th report had reference to Hessian fly Injury aa well as drought damage. Little attention was given to report from th southwest.

There waa a report in Chicago from th northwest that farmer elevator are pushing wheat forward, and this Is causing the larger receipta at Minneapolis. A Liverpool report said stocks ther were so large that buyers have to wait for wheat to be moved out of storage to make room for arrivals. fctoeks at Minneapolis have Increased 880,000 bushel so far this week. Northwest market naturally followed th advance in Chicago, but to a much less extent. Omaha dispatches reported cash wheat Mo higher and purchases at elevator points in Nebraska, light.

In our earlier advices we suggested taking advantage of any good swell caused by shorts covering to sell wheat. Unless something new comes into the situation, we regard that advice as good. Corn The Illinois state report had something to do with a strong upturn In corn price for th day. Total yield for th state la given at a large decrease from th total suggested In the Washington report. It is a common thing for th agricultural authorities in this etate to differ widely from Washington figures.

Ther waa less corn on the market today. Naturally country offerings were lighter because of the drop of several cents in cash corn prices this week. Cash prices wer tjc higher. Many shipping points report consignments of corn Ptill liberal. Weather map almost perfect for marketing th new crop.

Oats This market made very poor re sponse to strength in the other pits during the morning, but firmed up a little at the close. Shipping aales continue large, over 200,000 bushels up to the close of ths session. There was no great activity in oats trade. Provisions There was another buying wave in hog products today, which car ried prices up sharply. There was most excellent buying of ribs and lard on the early advance and for a time consider able selling by brokers for packer.

Hoes at all packing point were 26.000 and 37.0uu short of one and two years ago. This upturn in values appears to be the direct result of recent overselling on the break. Conservative leader claim to see no good reason for continuation of such strength. Cotton Liverpool market felt th influence of the news being Industriously circulated that tha ginning for this pe riod would show a perpendicular crop, confirm the government crop estimate and sweep away further opposition to nigner rices. There waa no aggressive selling our market and all hands teemed willing to have the market advance If it would do so without their individual assistance.

Trouble 1 build don't want to assume the burden of financing th spot cotton and the advance is bringing some out and they can't quit reconcile the continued heavy movement with the claims that ginning la complete and plantations are to furnish very little more cotton out of this crop. From any angle of estimated consumption and prospective supplies It is to make ends meet and lower prices can hardly be expected except as temporary result of an abnormal movement which on tie out of the way values would adjust themselves. PAPER IS PREPARED ON REGISTRATION LAWS LEGISLATION ON SUBJECT TRACED BACK TO 1816. IS NOT MUCH HAS BEEN DONE John A. Lapp and Charles Jewett, of the legislative reference department of the Indiana state library, have compiled a paper on legislative enactment in the state with reference to registration of voters, for consideration by member of th approaching general assembly, which will be asked to provide some method of registration.

Going back to the Constitution of ISIS, the found that that Constitution did little toward Imposing qualifications for voters, and that the Constitution of 1S51 did little more, although changing It some. In subsequent legislature the problem "Was dealt with at Umes, set out In the paper as follows: In 1S57," an act making it a misdemeanor for any person to migrate from another this for the purpose of fraudulent voting. In 1S67." fhe general assembly qualified the word "resided," as used In the Constitution, to fix a definite period of time as an element in the qualification of voters. Act Waa Repealed. In 1869 the preceding act wan repealed because of Its insufficiency and weakness, the repealing act embodying virtually the same qualifications for votera aa were contained in the act repealed, with additional provisions for protecting the ballot In 1873 an amendment to the ConsUtu tion waa adopted, and when it came up in 1S75, as required by law.

It was killed, because of the introduction of an amendment restricting negro suffrage. The proposed amendment prescribed residence period for voters and proposed that ne general assembly should have power to enact a registration In 18a0 the Governor declared in effect certain constitutional provisions, enacted In 1877 and 1S79. embodying In the main the provisions of the amendment proposed earlier, but the. mmreme cotrt sub Keouently held the amendment not validly adopted, on the grounds that the majority ot the popular vote cast lort was not a majority of the electors of the vtate. but only a majority' of the electors voting.

At a special election In IJvM a majority of the votes In the state were a in favor of the amendment, and it became a part of the Constitution. Providing for Registration, In 1SS1 th general assernbly enacted, a law providing that the general nembly shall provide for registration of persons entitled to vote. There was no further legislation on the point until IS 3. when a provision was enacted conserving the right of a person to vote who had been continuously out of the state for six months preceding an election, but who held the Ktate a. hia fdace of residence.

This was nubseijuent held unconstitutional. In laid a registration liw was enacted, but waa subsequently held unconstitutional. In 1SU7, in 117 and In registration bills were introduced, but in each case defeated. ii 1 Dr. Marquis L.

The Voice of the People In Defense of Fraternities for Hijh i School Pupils. the Editor of The News: Sir I have been much displeased by th atUtud of the pres on th recent football dispute at Shortridg high school. There has been a disposition ahown to garble th lssu by Injecting other matters and complaints into the discussion. One of our papers made the statement that all of the twelve boys who were expelled were members of "high school fraternities." I found but thre ofhem belonging to ucii fra ternlUes. Why not th press willing to take the stand that both of our good former high school principals took, that so far as they njw there wer no fraternities and consequently they had no right to inquire into the actions of their pupils outside of school, so long as it did not conflict wth the law? No sets or clljus or organixatloni were claiming to have any connection with either of the Bchools.

They had no more right to question a boy or girl' wearing a "frat" pin than thfy did their wearing a Christian Endeavor or Christian Association pin. as lonr us It waa not conspicuous or annoying. Ihey had no power nor disposition to prevent any organization of young people to meet and dance or what not so long as It oi.l not Infringe on any school rule. They rnnM not comnlaln that it took time from their studies, as such a statement could be made of the church or the theater The matter of study and conduct outside of sohool hour is a thing In the hands of the parents, and they were unwilling to assurn any control over that which did not concern them. That a eet of youngsters proposes for oclal purposes to attach a nonsensical Greek letter name to.

their club gives no llcens for their prosecution. They can not be doing these things without their parent' consent. My observation ha been, and I am both a "high school fraternity" and colleg fraternity man. that the people who ar most likely to assoclat with on another will do so whether bound by art organization tie or not. I have further observed that the places ordinarily thought of as improper loafing place had as many if not more of the nonfraternlty element.

Why continually by such article and aacusatlons, admit the Inability of the authorities to cop with a situation, when In reality they ar handling it In the moat reasonable and way? Whenever any et or organization makes any flagrant display or pretense to a part of our local schools without the knowledge and consent of the schools then It Is the proper tlm to complain and punish th guilty, uoa. Better Stata Roads. To th Editor 47 Th News: Sir For a quarter of a century th. people of this stat have been worked and taxed for the construction of highways. UnUl the adopUon of tha gravel and macadamised road, system, they worked in vain.

TJnUl the system of dralnag was adopted, good roads wer an impossibility. 'v Practical experience has shown the defects of the old system, and substituted materials that have proved so worthy. Good, substantial roads are needed and many already exist in the state. Shall the state assume the work of road building? What part of the work. If any, shall be Imposed on the counties? The road tax fund must be uniform, and will it be eufTlcient to secure the proposed 'object? There can be no equal dts tribution of th fund among th counties if road equality is sought Some of the counties are now well supplied with good roads, others not.

To take the money of all the people and largely expend it for a few would hardly be just. if the fund wer distributed among the counties in proportion to their road needs, and expended oy eacn county under the supervision, of a competent road commissioner, better and more satisfac tory results might obtain. The power must be lodged somewhere to determine what roads should be improved, and to conform to a standard fixed by a state road commission. Uniformity could thua be secured, and th amount of such lm Firovement for each year governed by the und available. The maintenance of roads, other than those selected for improvement, must be provided for.

It seems evident from a general view of the matter that a much larger fund must be raised than we now have. Ihls fund could be greatly increased from sources, other than direct taxation. The motive for better roads should be based on practical grounds, and not selfish ends, Delphi, December 8, 1910. The Statehouse Engineer. To the Editor of Th News: Sir I desire to protest against the se lection made for engineer of the state house.

After Mr. Colbert waa appointed custodian, the engineers' union et Indi anapolis selected one applicant for th place; the machinists and the steam fit ters each did likewise. The engineers union named a committee to wait on th Governor, the auditor and the secretary of state, who had the power to appoint men to be chief engineer and The committee was informed by the board triac tne piace snouia oe filled by a union engineer, aa the state law provides Jt must be a chief encineer. not a chier steam niter. vvun tiiis assurance the applicant from the International Cnion of Steam Engineers, who carries an engineer's card, felt that a union engineer would get the place.

Hut the board shifted the responsibility on air. Colbert, the custodian, and he appointed a steam fitter to fill an engineer's place. A hod carrier was as much entitled to the plnce as a steam ruler. ne tarries a union card. Would the Governor, the secretary or the auditor appoint a tna ehfpLsf or an engineer as bookkeeper In his oillce? I think not.

The patne rule an lies to the engineerat the sfatehouse. Throughout the state, the city and the I'nited States there 'are several thousand trgineers under the manaz ment of trie American Federation of Labor. In the future they may rememb bow the engineers of the city if Indianapolis, have Iw en treated. The engineer hoi. Is the most responsible position of any clats of workmen.

Thousands of live! are at tne mercy of the engineer. To appolf.t as en glueer a man from another craft, who. Ihoogtv a union an. does not carry an enrineer'H curd, seems to me an outrage and an Insult to the engineers. If a nonunion engineer had been ai pointed would not tay a word, so was un engineer.
