JUDGE ROXY TALKS.


Judge Frank S. Roby Of the Appellate
Court said: 1.-The death OF President Nc
Kinley is a calamity His public career and
private character have been such that he
should not have had an enemy in the
world. How any human being could have
deliberately taken the life of this good man
is beyond my comprehension. He will take
his place in history among the great men
of the world, as he has already done in the
hearts of his fellows
81 think legislation ought to be enacted
making 1t impossible for a person or set
of persons under the guise of free speech
and liberty to plot against and destroy
both. The spirit of our institutions does
not tolerate the continued existence under
them Of individuals whose only protection
at any time is that they have not by overt
act done the murder that they teach and
publicly commend.
There is another phase of this matter
which can better be appreciated now than
at any other time. The cartoonist holds a
powerful place in the making of public
sentiment. In the light of the Presidents
death probably no one who has ever drawn
a scurrilous cartoon depicting him in forms
detestabe and holding him up as a thing
act. Legitimate argument whether by car
toon or print, is the right and the duty of
every citizen 10 make, but the little line
OF difference dividing political parties in
this country does not call for attacks upon
public men In either party or by either
party such as too often have been made
by both. We stand reverentially by the
bier of our dead President and we are all
mourners. as there is no partisan among
us, but every American eye Is wet"

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR GILBERT.
He Says Presidents Death Comes with
Greater Weight Now.

Lieutenant Governor Newton w. Gilbert
said last night:
THE fact OF the death of the President
comes upon the country with even greater
weight than II would have done a week ago.
His heroic fight for life excited the aG-
miration of all Throughout his terrible
illness he has maintained the calm
equipoise and unf1nching courage OF a
brave man. Mckinley will be known in the
history OF this country a great Presi-
dent. He directed and controlled the course
of public events without exciting opposi-
ton, but rather he won the sincere admira-
ton Of many OF his political opponents.
His tactful course has to a large extent
destroyed sectional divisions. and 1 esteem
this as not the least of his achievements.
Heralded as the advance agent Of pros
perity. he lived to see under his admins
tration most wonderful fulfillment of the
prophecy. He was more than a brave SOL
der. a faithful public servant and a great
President. He was a good man. He stood
for what he believed TO be right in private
as well as in public life, and had In his
nature nothing of the Pharisee or hypocrite.
His assassination is the legitimate result
of the almost unfettered license which
confer upon the forum and the press. Let
us not think that the Anarchist is the only
dangerous teacher in society or that the
only person deserving execration. There
has developed in recent years a class Of
publications, miscaled newspapers, which
teach class hatred and indiscriminate OFF,
public services so great that he is not vile
~ maligned by such publications. Widely
circulated, the poison they exhale burns
into the brain OF many weak man. and
the wonder Is that such a result has not
come more quickly Confronted by this
great sorrow will not the people awake to
the danger and stamp out the vile con-
tagion before other lives pay the penalty?'

THE DAY ABANDONED
WILL BE NO OFFICIAL CELEBRATION
OF INDIANA DAY.
Early i'm the Afternoon the News Was
Too Alarming from Presi-
dents Bedside.
PREPARATIONS AT BUFFALO
INDIANA PEOPLE THERE WILL BE
DISAPPOINTED.
Arrangements Had All Been Made TO
FfttingIy Receive the Gov
ernOr's Party.

The grave developments in President Nc
kinley's condition since early yesterday
afternoon caused official postponement
OF the celebration of Indiana day at Buff
falo. A consultation of members Of the
committee having the affair in charge and
several Of the Governors staff was held
early in the afternoon in the Governors
parlors. During the meeting encouraging
news came from the bedside OF the stricken
President, and ii was then decided TO make
the trip to Buffalo either official
party, or, If matters became more grave
later in the day. individuals.
With this decision the meeting adjourned
and preparations were continued for start
Ing. The alarming news which reached
the city shortly before o'clock had a de-
pressing effect the crowd, and for a
time the subject of further celebrating In
diana day was abandoned. The lull con-
unued until after supper, when the official
announcement was made that the celebra-
ton would be abandoned. Several persons
throughout the State who were to meet the
Governors party in this city could not be
reached, and they will continue their jour-
hey. All arrangements had been completed
for making the trip, and several went TO
Buffalo as individuals. Governor Durbin
instead of going to Buffalo from Anderson
returned to the city last night.

FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
He Pays n Great Tribute to the Mar
tyred President.

Attorney General William L. Taylor said:
1.-The trinity of our great martyrs 10 coun-
try is completed by the death OF McKin-
ley. Because of the fraternal conditions
prevailing throughout our whole domain he
is the most universally mourned of our
martyred Presidents. But two other Presi-
dents have left so many enduring monu-
ments in history as has he-Washington
and Lincoln.
"All over France one can see the tails
manic letter N The monuments Napoleon
erected along the pathway of French his
tory are in enduring marble.
1.-The new boundary posts OF our Repuo-
lie extending half way around the globe
will have cut in their granite faces the
immortal letter M The peasants OF the
West Indies and the deluded races In the
East Indies will, in the future, tell their
children Of the greatness and glory Of Nc
Kinley. Wherever the oppressed are
huddled together anywhere around this
world to mourn their poverty or to relieve
their serfdom they will recite the story of
Lincoln and Mckinley.
There has not been single day since
Mckinley became President that he has
not grown i'll the permanent affections of
the people. Nor has there been single
day that he has not grown in greatness,
and yet in no way was ne so great as in
his simplicity. He was indeed the friend
OF the common man. His blood VIII ce-
ment together the affections of all the
people of our beloved country. He preached
the new evangel of enduring peace.
THE country will take no backward step.
1t will go forward in the pathway PLACED
out so plainly by him. His last public ut
terance will be read and reread and hung
up on the wall chart for the guidance
of the pilot vet come on the ship of state.
Let US all be moderate in this hour of
mingled sadness and madness-sadness
at the death of so good a man, madness at
the cruel murder.
Let the law be supreme. The spirit of
the beloved Mckinley like an incense will
pervade and sweeten this world OF ours
and make US all better citizens"

Judge Baker Says President Was Best
Man He Ever Knew.

After the news that the President was
expected to recover" said Judge John H.
Baker. "his death is the more shocking.
He was the best man I ever knew. Ny
friendship for him began twenty-five years
ago. He was kind and tender man, and
his nature was fully exhibited in his solicit
tude for his wife which was constant dur
ing the many years she has been an invalid.
No worthy man ever asked for assistance
from the President and failed TO get it.
Every person in the country felt that he
was a friend.
Even Mr.. Mckinley's friends did not ap-
precate him when he was elected Presi-
dent. But within year he was tested-at
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war-and he proved TO be a great man. The
years of his administration have been very
trying-I might say pivotal I fear that his
death will have a seriously disturbing eff
feet on the affairs of the country.
Since Washington in my opinion, there
has not been a President that has been
held in so great affection Mr.. Mckinley.
with the exception Of Lincoln. L fear that
his wife Will not survive the shock-he had
been so tender to her. l hope that she may
live many years yet

Newly Oval.

The Gordon-Lake ten-mile paced match
race proved the most interesting at the
last meet of the season at Newly Oval,

exciting. Both men followed single motor
machines.
Lakes motor gave out during the seventh
mile, and he had to follow second pace be-
hind Gordon's machine during the re-

ALL EXPRESS SORROW.


Anxiety and grief brooded over the State
Capitol last night. In the afternoon the
Governors rooms were crowded with men,
bers of the military staff. arrayed for the
trip to Buffalo to celebrate Indiana day at
the Pan-American Exposition. Despite the
bad news from the Presidents sick room,
the Indiana party persisted In hoping
against hope and declared that the trip
would be made at o'clock last night.
When that hour arrived, however, the staff
members were gathered about the large
center table in the Governors parlor. and
the face Of each was stamped with sorrow
and every head was bowed beneath q
weight Of grief. AS the news of the Pres
idents condition grew steadily more alarm
irg, the expressions of pain on the cOunte-
nances of the waiting men became more
pronounced. i was a sorrowful gathering.
Quartermaster General Foster was asked
event. With hating utterance and eyes
moist with tears he said: 1T is a very
great loss to the Nation. All the circum
stances connected with the affair make IL
very sad in every respect 1t is terrible
that after he had made such heroic fight
the President should at last have had to
succumb to the blow of the assassin. His
administration has been one of great sue
cess and satisfaction TO the country, to all
classes of people. This is time when
man does not feel like talking. This blow
has taken all the talk out of me-
Across the corridor from the Governors
suite State Auditor Hart sat the evening
through eagerly awaiting some favorable
turn in the Presidents case. The auditor
was slow TO abandon hope and it was long
after the final announcement of the Pres
ident's death came before Captain Hart
could realize its meaning. He said con-
corning President Mckinley: Every true
lover of an ideal man, an ideal American
and an ideal President is a sincere mourner
OF Mr.. McKinleys death. The history OF
his life will share with that OF Lincoln in
the inspiration IL will afford TO the genera
tons TO come. Like Lincoln, he was from
his birth TO his tragic death of the people,
a commoner, patriot, typical in the eclec-
tic qualities of genuine yet unostenta-
tious manhood. In the memory of this
generation three Presidents have suffered
martyrdOm at the hands OF assassins. IL
the Republic has a strenuous duty most
urgent IL is that Anarchists and the
preachers of anarchy shall at once have
their death-knell tolled."
State Senator (. H. Wolcott. lieutenant
colonel on the Governors stan. said: We
will not realize until the years pass the
greatness OF our loss. His last speech at

progressive spirit and Will unquestionably

Says Mckinley VIII Pass Into History
as n Patriot.

Rt. Rev. D. O'Donaghue, auxiliary bishop
of Indianapolis, said: President Mckinley
will pass into history as a patriot of high
character, and a martyr to his country's
cause. His tragic death has immortalized
him and placed him side by side with the
great men who have passed from earth.
1t Is too soon to estimate his character
or TO pass judgment on his abilities as a
statesman. A nation is in tears beside
his coffin and a night Of grief has come
upon the land. At this awful moment a
feeling OF humiliation rests upon every
head at the thought that the chief execu-
tive of the Nation was shot 10 death while
extending the hand OF fellowship in kindly
greeting to his friends The story of his
life and death furnish food for reflection
and indicate a lesson that merits deep
study"

William Mckinley answered every test of
greatness. No President ever had graver
