the most thrilling situations Of his
eventful life Riding one day toward
the close of the civil war along lone

a spy and the penalty was death. Fort
unately for him, he was placed In the
care of two brothers who recognized
the young man as their former teacher.
Approaching his peril, they contriv-
ed his escape. The senator's new found
friends were Jim and Cole Younger,
who afterward became noted as the
most daring of the band of outlaws
led by the James brothers. When at
ter the close of the war. the Youngers
were captured and sent to prison on
a life sentence for robbing a bank In
Minnesota, Mr.. Elkins recalled their
kindness to him. He exerted his in
fiuence to procure their release ana
ultimately succeeded.
His Western Experiences
On more than one occasion in the
senate Mr.. Elkins referred feelingly
to his life on the frontier. A notable
instance was in connection with the
Senator Bristow, of Kansas. with hav-
ing said that if the inland residents
were dissatisfied with the railroad
rates to their homes, they could get
out and remove to the Seaboard, the
West Virginia senator strenuously pro-
tested his sympathy with the interior
country.
''The senator from Kansas does not
love his state any more than love

sion.
Fare of 2!A cents for passengers

Mining royalty and income tax, also
income tax for corporations The ini-
tiative and referendum and recall.
On the liquor question the governor
says:
Temperance is a matter of personal
discipline and is more of a moral and
social problem than political. Gov
ernment by saloon and brewery must
go. In communities where saloons
exist there should not be more than
one to 1000 population and brewerles
should be divorced from their owner
ship
michigan seems to have a weak
ness for state boards" continues the
governor. "It is true the state has
vet no trustees of wash basins or tootn
brushes, but if we keep en- as we are
going. there will be nothing from fish
eyes to fox tails that will not be super
vised by a board"

BEWARE THE HIGH FLYER.
Advice to Legislators by Governor
Marshall of Indiana.

Indianapolis, Jan 5.-When the 67th
session of the Indiana assembly conven-
ed today the Democrats had a good
working majority in both houses for the
first time in 16 years. The session, by
law. is limited to so days but it prom
ises to be one of the most important
in the history of the state. Among the
more important matters to be consid-
cred are the election of a United States
senator. At noon both houses met
Jointly in the chamber of the house of
representatives and listened to the
message of Governor Marshall.
In his message to the Indiana leg
islature Governor Thomas r. Marshall
told the members Ito be careful of the
man who wanted to show them a good
time the day after he had been il
troduced" and also to beware of the
thigh flyer"
THE fellow who wants to show you
a good time,'' said the governor, has
an AK to grind and he intends to chop
his own wood with it. There is no
money in honest public service, and
the man who flies high in Office has
some one holding the string to his
kite"
Governor Marshall recommended the
repeal of the county option law. the
enactment of a direct primary law and
a referendum act giving the voters the
right to approve or reject measures
passed by the legislature.
On the matter of regulation of issues
of stocks and bonds the governor says:
81 recommend that you revise the
corporation laws of Indiana so that no
corporation can issue a dollars worth
of stock without a dollar in money
or q dollars worth of property going
into the corporation to the satisfaction
and approval of the state board of tax
commissioners.
And 1 recommend that all transpor-
tation lines be prevented from issuing
bonds without the consent of the state
railroad commission first being obtain
ed by showing that the funds raised
from the issue are to be actually used
for corporate purposes and that the
sale of such bonds for less than 81
cents on the dollar be forbidden
ON the state regulation of trusts the
Governor recommends.
ssIf you want to eliminate the trust.
