did not keep his word with them.
-----anp- st-4n---------
THE present generation thinks
rarely of one of the tragic incl
dents of the civil war-the trial,
conviction and execution of Mrs.
Surratt, charged with being ac-
cessory to the murder of President
Lincoln. 1t is not a pleasing
memory, and each succeeding
year brings with it the further
conviction that the execution was
judicial murder. The late Ben
Pitma has left valuable testimo-
ny in this connection. Ben Pit
man,a brother of Sir Isaac Pitman,
the inventor Of photographic
shorthand writing, was the official
stenographer for the military
court before which Mrs. Surratt
was tried as conspirator in the
murder of President Lincoln, and
about year before his death Mr..
Pitman made a written statement
of the case. In that statement,
which has since been published,
he declared with emphasis that to
his mind Mrs. Surratt's entire in
nocence of participation in or
prior knowledge of the conspiracy
is beyond question. Here is his
explanation of the basis of his
judgment:
AS official recorder of the trial;
as having heard every word of the
testimony; as compiler of the
published volume, Lincoln As
sassination Trial;' more than all,
as having previous to the trial
written down from the lips Of the
principal witnesses their stories of
what they knew or about which, in
their employment of spies, they
lied, I have had the best opportu-
nifty of forming true opinion.
And so he had. Not only did
he have the best opportunity for
passing Judgment, but many
things which leaked out after the
execution indicate that his judg-
ment was right.

Initiative, Referendum and Recall.

1
BY the initiative is meant the people
shall have the power to propose and
enact laws. The proposal is made by
presenting to the secretary Of the
state petition containing the text
of the law, together with the sigma.
lures of eight per cent of the qualified
voters. The secretary publishes the
proposed law, together with the argu-
ments for and against, in pamphlet
form and mails copy to every voter
in the state. The question is then
submitted to the people and enacted
or rejected by majority vote.
BY the referendum is meant the
people shall have the power to have
retired to them for approval any acts
of the legislature. The referendum
petition must bear the signatures of
five per cent of the voters and be filed
within certain time after the ad-
lournment of the legislature. Such
acts as are called for in the petition
are submitted and adopted or rejected
as in the case of the initiative.
By the recall is meant the people
shall have the power to recall any
public officer This is done by petit
tioning for special election, the petit
ton bearing the signatures of ten per
cent of the voters. The accused of.
ficer may be candidate to succeed
himself.

An agreement has been reached be-

Gary Land company regarding the pos
session of the Jefferson school AS
result the school board has again
taken possession the structure which
was built by the. steel trust in 1907 out
of it's own funds for the accommoda-
ton of Gary children.
Under the terms of the Indiana stat
utes no one can build a school house
and then sell ii TO the city. The build
ing cost $4,000. 1t was agreed that
the school city should pay $1,000 a
year rental for ten years at which
time the building and the land sur
rounding 1t would become the proper
ty OF the city. The land now has a
value of something like $4,000. and Is
increasing constantly.
Two years ago the school board de-
cfded not to pay any more rent and
last July the steel corporation had the
sheriff take possession of the property.
AS result no summer school was held
and 1t looked as IL the building would
not be available this year

true in the Twelfth district. which is a
hotbed of RooseveItism.
When the Bull Moose gathered here
ago it was expected that the Twelfth
district would show up with an enorm-
Gus delegation which would make lot
of noise. But when the district meet
ing was held the night before the con-
ention--when all of the delegates were
supposed to be here-on1y about TWEEN
ty men from the Twelfth district
showed UP. And this in spite of the
fact that the district sent Roosevelt
delegates to the Chicago convention by
a unanimous vote of all of it's counties.
1t is known too that many of the
twenty that were here were not in
favor of nominating separate county
tickets In the Twelfth district coun-
ties. Noble county and Lagrange coun-
ty both Were opposed to it, only two
men from these counties expressing
themselves in favor OF the plan. Ia
grange county delegates made the
statement that there had never been a
Democrats in county office in that
county and that they did not want 70
allow a Democrat to be elected this
year. But, they said, If the Bull Moose
nominate a third ticket the Democrats
probably will win at the election.
similar statement was made by the
Noble county delegates. They stated.
as did the Lagrange county men, that
the regular Republican county tickets
up there were composed entirely of
Roosevelt men, and that the people
were satisfied with these nominations,
and that any third party interference
in these>natters would be resented.
So. Lees ultimatum will undoubtedly
fall like wet blanket on Lagrange
and Noble counties. in which there are
more Bull Moose to the square incn

John Leavenworth, who was en-
ployed at the Grasselli Chemical plant
but who left there about six months
ago for Philadelphia has written
friends in East Chicago that he will
go into the aviation business He will

science of aerial navigation to an ex-

Leavenworth, who is only 10 years
Of age, became interested in airships
at the time Ely's biplane met with its
sensational fiasco on the first attempt
ed trip from Chicago to New York,
dropping in the swamp just north Of
East Chicago.
The young man at that time was
one of the most interested visitors
to the spot where for a number of
hours the machine rested before it
was shipped back 70 Chicago for re-
pairs Up to that time he had never
seen an airship,> nor had he evinced
the slightest interest in aerial naviga-
ton. He went, however. with the eur
ious throng of onlookers to where the
| disabled craft lay and engaged in con-
versation with the famous birdman,
who has since met his fate in his VEN
| turesome pursuit. Ely took consider
able pains. to- explain his craft to the
eager young man, who seemed to
grasp the ideas he sought to convey
with remarkable clearness. After his
conversation with Ely Leavenworth
| began to devour every particle . of
reading matter he could lay his hands
on concerning aerial navigation. He
haunted aeroplane meets whenever OPP

In many places Roosevelt <men have

easily would carry the county election
and elect their tickets. Thus Roose-
