GOVERNOR HANL Y'S
INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Gov. Hanly's inaugural address was
of unusual length, and IL given entire
would fill many columns of this paper.
The Governor congratulates the people
Of Indiana on the fact that during the
hast twelve years their affairs have been
so honestly managed. Gov. Hanly
pledges himself to a strict adherence to
the non-partisan management of our be-
nevolent and penal institutions. "Above
all personal and party obligations" he
says, however sacred and binding they
may be, / hold the good of the State,
and the welfare of its unfortunate
wards" There will be no removals of
persons holding positions in these great
institutions except for the good of the in
.stitutions themselves. Upright and eff
cient service will guarantee continued
tenure, while negligent and incompetent
service will insure immediate removal.
The Governor advises economy in the
administration of the benevolent and
penal institutions, though he holds, and
rightly. that a policy that would make
impossible needed improvements would
be e~xtravagant rather than economical.
He recommends the appointment OF a
non-partisan commission, two Of the
members to be practicing physicians, to
consider the question of establishing a
hospital for the treatment of tuberculosis
An additional hospital for the insane is
advised, and the reasons for the recon-

%mendation are set forth in q forcible
way. The Governor also favors the es-
Enlistment of a hospital for e%pileptics,
and recommends an appropriation of
S150,000 for this purpose, which will be
enough to make a beginning.
The discussion of the financial problem
throws much light on it. The present
embarrassment, the Governor says, is due
10 the large appropriations of the last
Legislature, and also to an invasion of
the general FUND for the purpose of max
ing payments Oil the State debt. Dur
ing the last four years $521,091 has been
taken from the general fund to pay debts
not ret due. On this subject Gov. Hanly
says:
Bonds were bought In the market with
money from tt general fund In the face
of the fact that there was sure to be a
each fiscal year. Debt-paying Is COM
mendable, but the present embarrassment
could have been saved by conserving the
general fund and applying only the sink
Ing fund to the payment Of the debt, es-
pecially so, as such fund would have been
ample to meet the entire bonded foreign
debt long before it would have become
due. The revenues for the present year
have been anticipated 20 the extent Of
$529, GAO.
On the basis of present receipts and
expenditures there would have been a
comfortable balance in the general fund
from which specific appropriations for the
years 1906 and 1907 might have been
made, were it not for the fact that the
expenditures for this year will exceed the
revenues by $463, 900. In addition to the
need of money for the carrying on of the
States ordinary business, money will be
needed for. extraordinary objects, such
as a new insane hospital, the e~pileptic
hospital, and the girls industrial school.
The Governor recommends that the sink
ing fund levy be redrced to ! cent, the
other 2 cents of the present levy be add
ed to the tax for general purposes; and
he also advises that the general State
levy be increased by IA cents on the
500. Both these recommendations seem
to us to be wise.
Gov. Hanly speaks strongly of the
work of the ~codi6cation commission. He
commends 'the results of their labors
""s with the full confidence that they
can, In the main, safely be accepted"
He also recommends that the commission
be continued for another two years. The
Governors argument for close supervis-
ion Of the private banks of the State is
unanswerable. 'The people," he says,
"whose earnings have been embezzled
and s~quandered, together with every man
engaged in honest private banking, of
whom there are many In the State, right
" demand relief at the hands of their
Representatives"

John Miller, % years of age, a waiter
employed in Porter's restaurant, killed
his wife N two children at his home. SO
Lewis street, Chicago. After shooting
them, he cut their throats with a razor.
Then he cut his own throat and shot
himself in the breast. Miller had been
drinking in North Side ~groggeries all
evening. He returned to his home after
midnight with all his money gone and
much the worse for liquor. His wife,
who is a waitress also, met him at the
door. She lectured him severely upon
his drinking and dissolute life, which had
shifted the burden of the family's sup
port upon her own shoulders. Stung to
madness by her tongue flashing, the
drink-crazed man drew a revolver from
his pocket and began shooting. His
wife fell at his feet with two bullets in
her body. Miller, thoroughly aroused
then, dashed past her PROSTATE form into
the room where his two little children
had been sleeping. They were wide
awake and were rubbing their eyes to
learn what all the noise was about. when
their father leaped upon them and shot
them. one after the other, with unerring
aim, and they toppled over upon the bed
unconscious. To make sure his work OF
death had been successful, Miller secured
a razor from a bureau drawer and DELHI
erately cut the threats of his wife and
children, and then hacked their bodies.
Then, standing where he could survey his
murderous handiwork, he cut his own
throat. He did not die quick enough to
suit him and he pressed the pistol to his
breast and sent its remaining load into
his bosom. A moment later neighbors
burst down the door of his rooms. Miller
regained consciousness after being taken
to the hospital, but cannot recover.

Agriculturists continue to realize

transportation due to severe weather,
railroad earnings are larger than a
