mcnt to the Memory ~ the
Dead Statesman.

Friday, November %, will be known
rs Harrison day in the public
schools of Indiana. 1t has been desig-
mated as such by the state superintend-
ent OF pubic instruction.
The Benjamin Harrison Monume
association has reported in tins con-
nection that the contributions IN hand,
no appeal having hitherto been made
in Indiana outside OF indianapolis, ag-
gregate about $4,000. The hope OK
the organization Is that the con,..hu-
tions from all sources, including the
other states, will amount TO 100000.
Ii is expected by Senator Fairbanks,
the president of the associa ton, and
the other officers that the observance
of Harrison day will stimulate inter-
est among the parents as well as among
the pupils.
By the above statement 1t will be
noted that the Benjamin Harrison
Monument association has been organ
lied. with Senator Fairbanks at its
head, for the purpose of erecting a
worthy monument to the memory OF
Indiana's only president. This project
Is commended to all residents OF In
diana with the hope that each will be
disposed to contribute, howsoever
small an amount. A postal card adj
dressed TO Evans Woollen. lndianapo-
lis. stating the amount subscribed and
the name of the subscriber, will be
sufficient.
Each Of our sister states, Illinois
and Ohio, has erected a magnitice nj
monument to the memory OF her presi-
dent. Surely ii would be unworthy for
our state to show less appreciation
The purpose is in no sense partisan

his services as soldier lawyer, sena

HOOSIER HAPPENINGS


Evansville. Ind, Nov l5.-Ihe au-
thorit;es seem as far from finding the
strangers OF Mrs. Georgia HALEY
and Miss Lena Renner as ever. Inc
theory that one man committed both
crimes is not taking deep root with
the police. because nothing has de-
veloped to bear this out beyond the
similarity Of the two murders ana
the fact that the analysis OF the
stomachs of the two women showed
that each had eaten yellow-skinned
apples. Coroner Walker, however,
declares one man killed both women.

Schley is a plain, democratic man who
knows his men personally, talks and
laughs with them and treats them Ike
human beings. He breaks the "eli-
