dent Roosevelt laid the corner stone
of an impressive memorial to be con-
structed to care, for NIL time, for the
rude log cabin in which Abraham

spent the first few years of his life.
Next in Importance was the cele-
bration at Springfield, ILL.,, the scene
of most Of Lincoln's political life.

The ball and supper given by the

Veterans, WAS one Of the really en-
joyable social functions of the season.
A very large crowd Of young people
and many Of the older set, attracted
by the promise Of good music, good
supper and = good time generally,
turned out. Anticipated pleasures
soon changed to reslization-a gay
crowd, bright with color, full of fun
and capable Of enjoying to the full
an evening unsurpassed In per-
lection of detail and contamination
of willing labor at the hands Of the
directors.
The orchestra was attuned to the
spirit of the occasion and entered in
to the fun with xest that kept the
dancers stepping merrily, and none
thought Of putting an end to the jol-
lily until the clock had thrics called
the hour after midnight.
The citizens of Axial and surround
ing country observed Lincoln Day
by giving q we'll attended dance, and

Why Such a Comparison7

The New York Nation begins an
article with these words: 1.-THE &C.
quital of T. J. Hams brings up anew
the question whether the morals of
New York are any better than those
Of frontier mining camp" Now,
we have heard some pretty tough
things said about frontier mining
camps, but nothing quite so tough as
that.
There is short shift for the assassin
In mining camps; no mercy to be-
trayers Of innocent women; infinite
tenderness to children; adventurers
and adventuresses are soon estimated
at their real worth; frauds and graf
tiers are speedily understood; there
are no reeking tenement houses, and
broad charity Is the rule. Why
should the morals Of such II place be
compared to that of New York City?
What depth Of depravity was ever
sounded below what New York City
can display? And why should all
honest mining camp be slandered by
invidious comparisons? Goodwin's
Weekly.

His Client Unknown.
Bullock is not a farmer and he is
not very well known lawyer in this
city, so it is not considered likely that
he filed the suit in his own behalf. He
refuses, however, to tell whom he rem
resents in the matter. All he will say
is that he represents himself and some
other persons.
Bullocks second suit is to enjoin the
payment of the salaries of $4,000 a
year to each of the five justices of the
pace in Marion county. He allages that
the statute allowing the salaries is
purely a local law and that it is not a
general law. Therefore, it is uncon-

years it has been the custom of the
people of Indiana to adorn the grounds
about public buildings, school houses,

1T is custom well BETTING a peo-

which ought to be preserved from year

Now, therefore, I, Thomas r. Mar

April 80, and Friday, Oct 29, 1909, as
Arbor Days within and for the com

upon that day I request that the peo-

that day I request that the people of
the state devote themselves to the
planting of trees and shrubs, which. in
years to come will beautify and be
valuable to our land"

TINES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITOL.


Indianapolis, Ind. April 1.-Two
suits have been filed in the sunerior
court here that promise to attract wide
attention among the farmers Of The
state. They are filed in the mama If
Henry w. Bullock, a local lawyer. who
filed them himself as his own attor-
ney. In the first suit he asks that tho
auditor of state and secretary Of state
be enjoined from paying the Purdue
university the $4,000 a year. which
the last session of the legislature an
propriated to Purdue for agricultural
experiments and for experimental
work along that line. Bullock claims
he has found a flaw in the law that
would make it ineffective even if con-
stitutional, but he goes even further
and says that the legislature has no
right to appropriate money for any
thing except state purposes. He saws
that Purdue act is purely a state in
sttution and that, therefore, it is not
entitled to the money.
Bullock also attacks the appropria-
ton of $4,000 year which the state
makes to the Indiana Agricultural So
ciety, which holds the state fairs in
this CITY, the $4,000 which the state
the Indiana Horticultural society and
the $1,000 year which goes to the
Indiana Historical society for the same
reason. He contends that these are
not state institutions and that the leg
islaure has no more right to give
money to them than it has to give
money to any other person or institu-
tion.
The legislature this past winter was
besiged by farmers and organizations
of farmers who favored the appropria-
ton of the $4,000 for Agricultural
work at Purdue. and if the courts
should knock out the appropriation it
would be sad blow to them. There
was little opposition to the appropria-
ton at the time. The only objection
made was raised in the house, which
cut the amount from SIS 200, the orig
inal figure, to $4,000, but when it came
to final show down the senate and
house both agreed on SIS. 900 and the
