SUES FOR BIG DAMAGES
WILLIAM A Eek DEMANDS $25,OOO
FOR INJURIES In ACCIDENT.
indianapolis Traction and Terminal
Company Defendant i'm the Suit
News of the Local Courts.

In a $4,000 damage suit filed yesterday in
the Superior Court by William A. Eek
against the indianapolis Traction & Ter
minal Company and the Big Four Rail-
road Company, an old city ordinance is re-
ferred to. The suit is for injuries received
in a Embarrassing accident last March.
The complaint states that the train was
going thirty miles an hour, an unlawful
rate, according to a city ordinance passed
March IL, 1866, in which a maximum rate of
speed of four miles an hour is provided for.
The accident occurred at the East Mich
igan-street crossing, when a car in which
the plaintiff was riding was struck by a
Big Four train.

LEE AND SECESSION

Under law Of congress each state
in the union has the right to erect
two statues of distinguished citizens
in the rotunda of the capitol at Wash
ington. The legislature of Virginia
has recently voted to erect there a
statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee. When
the matter comes up in congress,
there is likely to be hot debate. One
side will declare that no state has the
moral right to erect there statue to
a rebel. The other will claim that
the secession of a state was not re-
bellion.
Both sides will have to acknowl-
edge that in the case of General Lee,
there were extenuating circumstances,
even if secession is declared to be
rebellion. General Lee was educated
by the United States government at
West Point. While Lee was a student
there, secession was taught in the
school by the authority of the gov
ernment and one of the text books
given to Cadet Lee and from which
he recited was "Rawle's View of the
Constitution. In that book are
found, among other of like nature, the
following passages teaching the doc
trine of secession.
If faction should attempt to
subvert the government of state
for the purpose of destroying its
republican form, the paternal pow
er Of the union could thus be
called forth to subdue it. Yet it
is not to be understood that it's
interposition would be justiiable
if the people of state should
determine to retire from the union,
whether they adopted another or
retained the same form of govern
ment. page 1881
The states, then, may wholly
withdraw from the union; but
while they continue they must
retain the character of represent
tative republics. page 290.)
The secession of state from
the union depends on the will of
the people of such state. page
1861
The people of state may have
some reasons to complain in re-
spect to acts of the general gov
ernment; they may in such cases
invest some of their own officers
with the power of negotiation,
and may declare an absolute Sc
cession in case of their fabric.
Still, however, the secession must
in such case be distinctly and
peremptorily declared to take
p place on that event; and in such
case, as in the case of an uncon-
ditional secession, the previous
ligament with the union would be
legitimately and fairly destroyed.
But in either case conditional or
unconditional secession) the peo-
pie is the only moving power,

EVERLASTING LYING

The Associated press keeps up a
never ending stream of lies. The
other day it sent out from Topeka,
Kas., the following:
'The bank deposits of Kansas
amount to $3,000,000 more than
at any previous high water mark,
according to the quarterly state
ment of Kansas banking institu-
tions, issued by Bank Commits
sioner Allbaugh today. High wa
ter mark in the states bank de-
posits heretofore was on Sep
tember 80, 1901, when they aggre-
gated $88,181 ,194.14 The deposits
are now more than $90,000,00O,
over $50 for every man, woman
and child in the state"
Now that lie was written by an
expert, not only in banking, but in
the science of lying. Ninety-nine
readers out of hundred would un-
derstand from reading it that there
were $50 per capita of money in Kan
sas. The Independent has hundred
times, more or less, pointed out that
bank deposits did not represent mon
ey nearly as much as they did credit.
Ine man who got it up could have told
as easily how much money was in
the banks of Kansas, but he simply
makes statement of what the bank
ers owe. A man goes to a bank and
gives his note for $4,000. He is given
a credit on the books of the bank for
that amount and that note goes in as
a deposit. Not dollar of money up
to that time has been used and prob
ably very few will be used from that
time until the account is closed and
the books balanced If Mr.. ALI
baugh and the Associated press had
wanted to make truthful statement,
the amount of cash held by the banks
would have been given and then the
amount that they owed. But no such
