Reviews History.

Gov. RalstOn, speaking before a
great throng, reviewed the history Of
Indiana from the adoption of the
constitution 100 years ago until to-
day, paying especial tribute TO the
virility of the pioneers who paved
the way for the present prosperity
and greatness of the state. Repre-
sentative Merrill Moores of Indianap-
oils and Rev. John Cavanaugh, c. s.
G., were the other speakers.
The old state building was decor
ated in gaudy colors in contrast to
the gray weather-beaten stone that
.encloses its small rooms. The only
blot on the building, in the eyes Of
the visitors. was the fact that it has
been somewhat modernized by max
ing the windows larger and lower,
adding outside shutters and putting
electric lights throughout the build
ing
Local people who acted as guides
pointed out 10 visitors the big room
on the first floor, which was occu-
pied by the first house OF representa-
tives, and was heated by two large
fire places. The large room in the
upper story has been cut into five
rooms, but visitors pictured the
whole open room as the council place
of the first state leaders
The old building served as a terri
torial government building from 1912
until the state was admitted to the
union, and then served the state until
1852, when Indianapolis was made

why, there were nineteen men-good
American soldiers, shot down at Vera
Cruz, and many MeXicans We're killed
by our men. That was war. More
over, it was a very ignoble war. I
have heard three explanations of the
Vera Cruz move
First, it was explained that it "a
made in order to compel somebody
to salute the f1ag-somebody who had
insulted us. But the flag was not sa-
luted and has not been to this day.
Then it was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent
the landing of a boatload of ammuni-
ton intended for Huerta. The ammu-
milton, landed, however, and it has
been shown that 1t reached Huerta
in due season without interference on
our part.
"When that reason was shown to
be %untenable, a third one-and possibly
the real one-inally was advanced.
1t was said that our seizure of Vera
Cruz was a move to compel the retire
ment of Huerta. 1t seems possible
that this is true, although we had
promised the Mexicans that we would
not interfere in their affairs and told
them more thar once that we wanted
them to handle their own affairs.
THAT is why the Mexicans could
not understand us and that is why
they show little faith in our promises"

he still held the high office of justice

answered by the private citizen, who

Republican national convention.
Mr.. Hughes has not disappointed
those who have reposed confidence in
his character and judgment. In his
speech of acceptance he has clearly
set forth the vital issues upon which
the Republican party proposes to
conduct the campaign this fall. On
the platform he is telling the nation
wherein the present administration
has been at fault and what is neces-
sary to be done to restore the United
States to the place of respect and
honor to which it is entitled in the

agreeable addition.
Cherry Preserves.-Take one quart
cherries (pitted), one fresh pineapple
(cut into small cubes) and one quart
sugar. Put II pint water on sugar
and boil until 1t will spin a thread;
then drop In the cherries and pineapple
and boil twenty minutes.
Tomato Preserves. : Choose small
yellow tomatoes if yellow preserves
are desired or little red tomatoes if
red preserves are desired. Peel and
prick them with a large needle and
boil slowly for half an hour in pre-
serving strip (using one pound of SUI
gar to one pound of tomatOes), with
juice of one lemon to every two pounds
of tomatoes; then skim out the toma-
toes and let them remain two or three
hours in the sun to harden. Then put
the white of an egg. well beaten, into
the sirup, boil well. pour Over toma-
toes and then seal.
Damson Preserves.-Take an earthen
vessel that will stand heat and place
in it equal quantities of damsons and
sugar in alternate layers until the jar
is three-fourths full. Then cover and
place in slow oven. Cook three hours.
Cherries Preserved With Currant
Juice.-Select the sour variety, using
two quarts of sugar to three quarts of
currants. Heat in a preserving kettle,
crushing the currants as they boil up.
Then strain through ~cheesecloth. Add
the cherries to the fruit juice, stir in
the sugar over the fire, using equal
weights of sugar and cherries; bring
to a boil slowly and skim. Boil twenty
minutes, put in jars and seal. This
makes an acid preserve that is fine.
