Indiana senator of that name. It's erec-
ton is due to a resolution passed by the
senate providing that busts Of all the
vice presidents who have presided over
that body be placed in the chamber
overlooking the scene Of their former
parliamentary labors. Johnson was vice
president during Martin Van Buren, $
administration, taking the oath of Office
in 1887.
Richard NJ. Johnson's especial title
to the grateful remembrance of his
countrymen lies in the fact that to his
bravery was due the death of the IA
NOUS Indian leader, Tecumseh and to his
heroic services in the war of 1912 He
was a native of Kentucky, and in his
veins flowed the fighting blood charac-
teristic Of the blue grass country. He
was born in 1881, while Washington
was still alive and when the nation was
yet III it infancy. Early in 1900 he was
chosen as a representative in congress
from Kentucky.
In 1912, when the English and the
Indians had combined to attack the new
republic, Johnson was comm issiOned by
Secretary of War Levi Woodbury. to
raise a regiment of thousand Kentuck-
ians. AS their colonel he marched them
to attack the enemy, joining his force
with that of General William Henry
Harrison, who was then governor of In
diana and leader Of the American troops
It was in the famous battle of the
Thames, on Oct 3, 1913, that Colonel
Johnson showed conspicuously his BRAY
cry. The American troops were con-
fronted by the allied forces of the Eng
lish and Indians. The conflict was short,
but desperate. the Americans being
victorious. At it's close Tecumseh was
found dead on the field, and undoubt-
eddy johnson was the one who shot him.
The desperate chief no doubt sought out
johnson as a foeman worthy of his
steel, and in the hand to hand struggle
which ensued, Tecumseh lost his life
and Johnson was badly wounded.
When returned to congress soon after,
Johnson was too weak from his wounds
to walk, and his way to the capitol
was triumphal procession. His hero
ism was recognized in a faint resolution
Of thanks passed by congress. He was
later elected United States senator and
subsequently chosen vice presi dent.

TOPEKA has been made the object of
some criticism on the part of the press
of the state because objections have ema-
mated from here, to the expenditure of
the money set apart by the legislature
for payment of the militia when called
into active service, in getting up big
picnic for the members of the guard at
Emporia. It has been said that Topeka
is sour because she could not get the en-
campment When Topeka set about Sc
curing the encampment it was with the
understanding that the city would be ex-
pected to bear the expense. When it
was discovered that the business men of
the city did not feel like going down in
their pockets for the necessary funds
the idea was abandoned. 1t was under
stood that Emporia was willing to supply
the needful money and consequently
Emporia was considered as being en-
tilted to the meeting What is objected
to in Topeka is that the money collected
from the tax payers of the entire state
shall be used in defraying the expense of
a picnic which is of no practical benefit
The excuse offered that it is necessary to
hold the encampment in order to get the
national appropriation of supplies is a
very weak one 1t is not business to ex-
pend $4,000 to get $4,000. II the peo-
pie had wanted an encampment they
would have provided for one through the
legislature by making an appropriation
for it.
