The idea that Uncle Sam is at present
a landless old fellow has generally ta-
ken possession of the people through
out the country. This, however, is a
great mistake. He still has land enough
to give each one of his 73,OO0,OOO chill
dren a nice little homestead of eight
acres each and still have a ranch Of
over 100000 acres left. In other
words. your dear old uncle still owns
something over 6OOOOO,O0O acres, dis
tributed as follows throughout the va
rious states and territories:

AS TO THE JUDGES.
Few Words About the Nominees of
the Convention.

John V. Hadley was born on a farm in
Hendricks county in 1S41. He was a stu
dent in the Northwestern Christian Univer-
sity until the breaking out of the war, when
he enlisted as a private in the Seventh In
diana Infantry. He was promoted to be a
first lieutenant and afterward was detailed
to serve on the staff of Gen. ]. c. Rice. of
ness the general was killed and Mr.. Had
ley was wounded and captured. Charles
Scribner's Sons have recently published a
story of Mr.. Hadley's capture and escape,
written by himself. He represented Hem
bricks and Putnam counties in the State
Senate in 1869 and 1871. He was elected to
the Circuit Court of Marion and Hendricks
counties in 1885, and Immediately after the
two were separated He is now judge of
the Hendricks County Circuit Court.
Francis b. Baker is the only son of John
II. Baker, judge of the United States Dis
trict Court of Indiana. He received his
education in the law under his father and
since his fathers appointment to the bench
at Goshen. He is one of the most successful
young lawyers of northern Indiana. He has
never before identified himself actively with
state politics.
Alexander Bowling is a prominent attor-
ney of southern Indiana. He was born at
parents to Indiana in 1910. They settled at
New Albany and young Bowling was edu-
Gated in the New Albany schools. After
ward he read law in the office of Otto d
Davis. He served two terms as prosecuting
attorney and four as city attorney. He was
offered an appointment to the Supreme
Court in 1891. when Judge Berkshire died.

SHE POISONED HER CHILD.
That Was Years Ago, Says Poor Mary
Jones.

On Tuesday night Mary Jones almost
fifty years old, appealed to the matron at
the station house for shelter. She was taken
in and on the following morning threatened
suicide. but was dissuaded by Mrs. Gregory
She was directed to the Rescue Mission. but
was turned away by the matron at that
place. The matron also thought she detected
signs of insanity and called two policemen,
who locked the woman up on that charge.
Yesterday Justices Walpole and Nickerson
investigated the case and allowed the worn-
an to go. 1t seems from her story that for
many years she has had domestic troubles,
and at one time was sent TO the insane asy-
lum through the efforts of her relatives.
She was released as cured. Since that time
she has travelled a great deal and her
troubles with her husband have continued.
She says that at one time years age. rather
than allow her husband TO gain possession
of her child she poisoned it. The act was
never discovered and she says Ter con-
science has ceased troubling her. Since the
woman has already been committed to an
asylum and released the justices claim that
il is beyond their province to pronounce her
insane. but that ii is the duty of the physi-
clans to recommit her.

HART FOR AUDITOR.
Henry's Name Withdrawn Before the
Ballot Was Taken.

Before the call of districts for candidates
for auditor of state William H. Schmidt,
chairman of the Marion county delegation,
gained the recognition of the chair and
authoritatively withdrew the. name of Jas.
r. Henry, of Gosport. This left but VIM.
H. Hart of Frankfort, and David f. Sher-
rick, of Westfield. Before the one ballot
necessary to choice was taken it was the
prediction that Captain Hart would be the
nominee, although the vote cast for him
was a surprise to Sherricks friends, who
had expected greater support from the State
at large. Marion county split even as
nearly as might be without following the
foolish custom of making fractional votes,
giving Sherrick 50 and Hart 6S votes. Sher-
rick. of course. got the solid vote of his
own county, as did Hart The Hamilton
county man had some votes from all but
eighteen of the counties, which voted solid
ior Hart. There was one amusing
incident in the taking of the vote.
When Orange county was reached
shrill little voice called ten for Hart"
After that the kid mascot of the Orange
county delegation was heard on every roll
call, and the efforts of the youthful poll
tician to break into the state arena excited
much amused comment The Sherrick ele-
ment in the convention was very demon
strative, and as each point that might be
regarded as in his favor was scored their
Hart men, while perhaps less demonstrative,
seemed perfectly confident. Harris name
was on a thousand lips when the balloting
was finished, and his most enthusiastic sup
porters began hunting for him. Order was
restored and the following vote announced:
Hart ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. ........... 1922

Mr. Sherrick had found his way to the
front. and made hit with a facetious little
talk in which he congratulated his success
full opponent thanked his friends and prom
ised to do all he could for the ticket. He
had long thought that he had peculiar abil-
tiles for the Office of auditor, and was dis
appointed because the delegates had not
been of his mind. He spoke hopefully of the
future. His desire to hold office, said he,
was purely a matter of patriotism, he
was always ready to make any personal
sacrifice to preserve the institutions of the
State" Thanking his friends for their loyal
support and moving that Captain Harris
nomination be made unanimous, he with
drew.
Finally Harris friends, who had been in
ssting on a speech from him, espied him
over in the Ninth district delegation, and
bounced upon him.
II thank the convention for the great
honor ii has conferred" said Captain Hart.
but this is a time for making candidates
and not for making speeches"
