" You Bet

The P.-L compliments President
Roosevelt on the use OF slang in his
reply to Judge Parker just before cleo.
ton, when he wrote, 81 will see to it
that every man has a square deal; no
less, no more" The P.-I. declares the
phrase is a happy one, which catches
the popular ear" that it "means
something to everybody" and that it
is as likely to stick to Roosevelt as
/" Stand pat" stuck to Mark Hanna.
1t really seems very difficult to de-
termine what party leader may not
do which partisan journals will not
approve. Slang phrases by no means
dignilied the character Of Mr.. Hanna,
great leader though he was, but he did
not have the advantages possessed by
Roosevelt for acquiring great command
OF language, and was therefore, to
some extent, excusable.
1t is safe to say that the use OF gut
ter,snipe expressions and their tolera-
ton and at times positive approval, as
in this instance, tends to demoralize
popular sentiment with regard to the
necessity OF using pure English; and
the higher the political and social
position, and the more assured his
educational requirements, the more
pronounced will be the effects upon
our language and people. Why
couldn't the President have said that
be would see that every man should
have fair hearing?"
A "square deal" requires some
knowledge OF the crooked methods OF
green-cloth manipulation, to make it
clear to the mind unblemished by
malign earthly associations; and then
" straight" would have been better
word to convey the precise meaning,
being the exact antonym of crooked,
which "square" is intended to arraign
and condemn. An assurance of a
square deal" implies knowledge
that the cards might be manipulated
in shuilling so as to be distributed
unfairly, and that there was a neces.
sity to give an assurance that such
the matter to be determined. Such,
we think, was not the intent of the
President, nor do We think its use an
inadvertance. Its intent was simply a
"play to the galleries" 90 adept the
same vernacular) and that it " brought
down the house" is in evidence by the
Pts cordial handicap.

SENSATION IN
GILLESPIE CASE
BROTHER MAKES DANGEROUS
ASSERTION
A DAMAGING STATEMENT
Is Credited to Mrs. Gillespie - DR..
Gillespie Became Excited When
Questioned.
"A DAMAGING STATEMENT

Rising Sun, Ind, December %
weather., the court room where the
trial Of James Gillespie is being con-
dueted was again crowded with citi-
zens Of this town eager to hear the
evidence today.
Dr. William Gillespie, who was
placed upon the stand yesterday, con-
tinued his testimony this morning.
He explained charts whereon he had
fired guns Of different makes at va
rious angles and tried to show by his
experiments that the gun owned by
James Gillespie could not have been
the one that killed his sister Eliza
beth.
In the cross examination of this
witness conducted by Senator Kit
finger, of Anderson, he becan&e very
indignant an excited. In answer to
question from the senator If his
mother, Margaret Gillespie, had not
told him on the night of the murder,
"That she could put her hand on
the murderer, and that he was only
across the street, at the home of
Belize Seward DR.. Gillespie par
tally arose to his feet and, gripping
the Witness chair with both hands
and daring at the senator, with face
aaa and eyes. blazing forth. anger,
he shouted: "No, she did not; she
said the murderer lived down the
street,
ats a lie,' he repeated. "My
mother knew that James did not do
it.'
This is the first time that any
member has intimated that they
knew anything of the whereabouts
of the murderer and it dispels the
theory Of the mysterious man having
committed the deed, which has been
the chief defense made thus far.

HELP A
WORTHY CAUSE
MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO AS
sIsT THE DRosTE FAMILY
FUND IS Being RAISED
To Buy Clothing, Furniture, Etc, to
Restore Loss by Fire.

ss ssss-
The Droste family and the Shan
non family have taken up tempor-
ary quarters with Mrs. Droste s
mother, Mrs. Graham, and today the
household effects that were not des-
troyed by fire are being stored, and
as soon as Mr.. and Mrs. Droste are
able to be about it is said that both
families will resume housekeeping as
soon as they can find house. The
fund that is being raised to buy fur
niture, clothing, etc, is not yet en-
ough to restore the loss. From the
fact, however, that these people are
worthy and are we'll. known, it is
quite likely that sufficient sum will
be raised.
Neither of the men has an income
sufficient to support his family and
make the necessary purchases, so
that anyone giving to this account is
doing a charitable act. AS stated in
yesterdays papers, subscriptions
can be left with Jones Hardware
Co., and King R. Williams.

ployed by the Pennsylvania railroad

caught. His condition was such that
he could not be removed from New
Madison. His home is at Indiana

FROM BRINGING SUIT
IN wayne CIRCUIT COURT
Case Decided by Special Judge Rupe
Late Yesterday Afternoon
Interest Displayed.
IN wayne CIRCUIT COURT

In the circuit court yesterday aft
ernoon Special Judge Rupe enjoined
Attorney Samuel c. Whitesell from
fling any further suits to disbar At
torney Thomas Study from practic-
ing before the Wayne county bar.
The case has been on for some time
and has attracted considerable at
tention. The suit to enjoin was
brought by Attorney Study against
Mr.. Whitesell in connection with a
similar suit which was brought by
Mr.. Whitesell against Mr.. Study.
The decisions in both cases were in
favor of Mr. Study. 1t is generally
believed that the contention is now
at an end as far as legal action is
concerned, as the decision of Judge
Rupe makes it clearly definite that
no more suits of like nature can be
filed by Whitesell.

DuRBIN FAvORS
A MONUMENT.
TO BE ERECTED TO MEMORY OF
GENERAL II. w. LAWToN
THE GREAT INDIANA HERO
Whose Grave at Arlington Cemetery
at Washington is I'm
marked.

Governor Winfield 7. Durbin has
expressed himself as being In hearty
accord with the prevailing sentiment
among Indianians that suitable
monument should be erected to honor
the memory Of the States great SOL
der, General Henry W. Lawton.
The discussion Of the matter at
Washington during the last few days
has brought expressions on the sub
ject from many residents of Indiana
polls. Almost unanimously they are
in favor of monument, although
its location is a matter of some diff
ference of opinion.
Recently Governor Durbin offered
to be one of ten to contribute $lO0
each, the thousand dollars to be a
nucleus of fund for Lawton mon
ument. At the time Of making the
offer the Governors idea was that
the monument should be located in
Indiana, preferably in Indianapolis.
He had not considered having it
erected in Arlington Cemetery, IN
Washington, where the general IS
buried.
The governor said yesterday that
there would be no constitutional OBJ
stacles in the way Of the Legislature
making an appropriation for mon
r11nent for Lawton, to be erected in
Arlington Cemetery, Il 1t 50 desir-
ed, but that he was not ready to
state that he favored such project.
He had not given the matter suffici-
ent consideration, he said. He be-
lieved that it would be only a few
years until congress would make an
appropriation for a monument for
Lawton and erect it in Washington
in one of the spots reserved for such
monuments.
Would Establish a Precedent.
BY erecting monument over Law
tons grave in Arlington Cemetery
Indiana would be establishing pre-
cedent. While the cemetery is own
ed by the government and is used ex-
clusively for the burial of soldiers
and sailors and their families, none
of the monuments have been erected
by State government appropriations.
The coming Indiana Legislature
will be asked to make three, separate
appropriations for the erection OF
monuments to soldiers. The largest
request will be for the erection OF
twenty-eight monuments at Nlcks-
burg. one for each Indiana organiza-
ton that took part in the siege. 1t
is estimated that $150,O00 will be
needed to carry out the present plans
of the commission appointed by the
!, governor to inquire into the probable
cost of the monuments.
Another appropriation to be asked
will be for monument at Antietam
/ where, on September II, 1862, one OF
the bloodiest battles of the war took
