INDlANA'S SEVENTEEN ANNIVERSARY.
Judge Jordan Makes the Event the Occasion
for an Address at Plainfield.

Judge Lewis Jordan spoke last night to the
boys at theIndiana Reform School, at Plainfeld,
his subject being the seventieth birthday of the
State, Indiana having been admitted to the Union
Dec. ii, 1916 He said that the State barely es
capped the curse of slavery. for it existed in the
territory until the Constitution was made, which
clearly prohibited it. When Indiana became
State the population only 10000, and there
were fifteen counties, all in the Southern
part of the State Now there is popu-
lation Of over two millions living
in ninety-two counties. There was no record of
any schoo-houses when Indiana was admitted
to the Union. Now there ars $500 school
houses. and last year over half million of chill
dren enjoyed the benefits of the free schools.
BOYS" said the Judge. in conclusion, 1--WE have
goodly heritage and the experience of the past
to guide US. Let us prove ourselves worthy of
such a priceless legacy, which the fathers and
mothers of Indiana have left US. Let US not
forget that virtueus lives make a people pros
porous and happy and adorn society and the
State
