Dickinson, southerner, Speaks.
President Taft was followed by Sec
rotary of War Dickinson, Southern
man by birth, who turned the monu-
ment over to the Gettysburg National
Park Commission on behalf of the peo-
pie of the United States
Secretary Dickinson reviewed the
civil war, the causes leading up to it.
the bitter feeling it caused, etc, then
went on to say that in this day there
are but few, If any, dispassionate
thinkers in the North who question the
patriotism of those of the South, who
gave an example of American valor
that ever thrills their minds and hearts
and of all mankind in all countries and
in all ages. He also declared at this
day there in the South but few, If any.
who would not turn swiftly with senti-
ments of adherence from any sugges-
ton that 1t would have been better for
the South If it had succeeded in estab-
fishing an independent government
He said this is true even of the sur
vivors Of those who fought on this
very ground, and quoted the following
verse:
Saw gray. gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle cloud,
And heard across the tempest loud
The death cry of a nation lost.
In closing, Secretary Dickinson said:
With one mind and heart the people
OF this great country, looking to the
future with no rivalry, but in generous
patriotism, and cherishing no hate,
but only the glorious memories of this
bloody field, can with hearty accord
proclaim in the language Of a Southern
poet commemorative of this very
struggle:
Fold up the banners: smelt the guns.
Love rules; her gentle purpose runs.
A mighty mother turns in tears
The pages of her battle years
Lamenting all her fallen ones.
When the review was concluded the
president hurried back to the city and
to his waiting train. He was escorted
by troop of cavalry which had to go
at full gallop at times to keep up with
the presidential party. The president
left at 3:45 p. m. for Washington.

Indianapolis. Ind, June 1.-Unless
the Anti-Saloon League leaders change
their plans they will go into summer
quarters within the next two weeks
and defer their attack on the large
wet centers until after the Novem-
Der city elections.
The Anti-Saloon League politicians
are not counting any defeats in the
larger counties and are convinced that
1t would be unwise to mix local option
with municipal political battles during
the summer.
Superintendent Shumaker said that
dates have been set for the following
elections: Boone county, June 1; Por-
ter county. June 8; Lawrence county.
June 8; Clark county, June 9, and
Warrick county, June II.
Much Alarmed.
Alarmed over the success Of the
"wets,' in Ripley, Laporte and Floyd,
the Anti-Saloon league leaders are go
ing about their fights in Clark and
Warrick with more care. Owing to
the wet victory in Floyd the league
officials fear that it will be difficult to
carry Jacksonville and the rest Of
Clark county.
Superintendent Shumaker and r. G.
Minton, attorney and political adviser
for the league, are going to jefferson
Vile tomorrow to take charge Of the
campaign.
The "wets" have control Of the cleo
ton boards in Clark county. The
league expects to carry Boone and La
grange easily. as both are dry now.
They are confident also OF carrying
Porter, but the liquor interests are put
ting up hard fight there.

the life in foreign countries and gave
a very Interesting account of his ex-
periences. While in China DR.. Stew
enson and family passed through a Pc
Rod of riot Tor a time and he believed
his daughter had been stolen during a
Boxer uprising. He said last evening
he can appreciate the experiences OF
Dr. johnson and also sympathize with
him.
In his short address DR.. Johnson told
several interesting anecdotes as illus
trating his points. He said Christi
anity is making rapid progress, but it
will be years and years before the
faith will gain a strong hold upon the
minds of idol worshippers of the land.
India is a densely populated country
and the Inhabitants are hard to change
fro mthe beliefs of their ancestors.

Tho Queer Pet That Was Adopted by

Perhaps the strangest pet that ever
attracted regiments fancy was n
pig. She attached herself to Ken
lucky regiment on the way to invade
Canada during the war of 1912.
As the men marched out from Har-
rodsburg one morning they came across
two pigs lighting. They halted to see
it ont. When the march was resumed
the victorious pig followed the regi-
ment. When they cncamped at night
the pig halted and found a shelter.
The next morning the pig started with
the regiment. and when It stopped the
pig halted. Day by day it trotted
along until the Ohio river was reached.
A ferryboat transported the troops to
Cincinnati, but the pig swan the
stream and waited on the other side
until the regiment took up its line OF
march.
During the long tramp 10 the lake
piggy received her full share OF ra-
tons. Occasionally the men were put
on short commons. but no one thought
OF sticking the regiments pet.
When they came to the lakes shore
piggy was offered a passage across to
Canada She refused TO stir from Amer
lean soil.
When the campaign closed the troops
Tecrossed to American soil where they
had left their horses. AS the line was
being formed familiar grunt was
heard. There was piggy ready 20 re-
sumo the march On the homeward

Why Living is High.

| Professor William b. Guthrie, who
holds the chair of political economics
in the College of the City of New York
! accounted for the high cost of living
in a lecture the other night
The three most important subjects
to be considered in searching for a
remedy TO the conditions that produce
the fneQuitable increase In the cost OF
I living are, he said, the amount and
distribution of the wealth Of the coul-
try, the combinations known as trusts.
and the effect Of the tariff on the prod
ucts of the country.
Since 1885," he said, there has
been a constant increase in the cost
of necesSaries without any correspond
ing increase in the average income of
the great mass CT consumers, such as
should accompany Normal rise in the
price scale. The average increase iii
the cost Of living since 1895 has
reached 40 per cent.
Prices have come 10 be controlled,
not by the economic laws Of supply
and demand, but by the great combina-
lions, which are apparently able 20
control both. A comparison between
the increases that would be caused by
natural changes and prices as they
exist. leads to the inevitable concIu-
sion that some one is getting the rake
off,
High rents, he declared. were an
Important subsidiary GAUGE of the in
creased cost OF living, Is was unintel,i-
gent consumption.
''It Ia high rents" ne said (Which
are annually forcing a larger percent
eye of the poorer classes into what
economists have described as the
seriously underfed class It may ne
a very laudable thing in some ways
TO provide the poorer classes with
plenty of light and air in their tene-
ments, and to give them hygenic con-
ditions Of living such as bathrooms,
sanitary plumbing, etc, but there is
another side to that question.
"Of what use are improvements that
raise the rents so high as to deprive
the workingman and his family Of
proper food?''
Monopoly, in the las; analysis, is the
cause of the high cost of living. Mon
opoly of land, monopoly of supply,
monopoly of distribution Having 1t
We have rents increasing in proportion
to the population. trust extortion, tar
iff shelter. and unequal distribution If
wealth. The conflict is with monopo-
iy. The cure is not a salve applied to
the surface but a knife which shall
cut 20 the bone and clean out the para
site economic growths.
