IDdiana'S Hundredth Birthday
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Americanism, a movement which is
getting thorough workout all over
the United States at the present time,
is finding its most elaborate expression
in Indiana. This year marks the Tooth
anniversary Of the admission of the
Hoosier state into the Union, and steel,
agriculture and school systems have
been temporarily lost sight of in the
importance of celebrating the event
Beginning with the first of the year,
every county. public school and woman's
club undertook to search American his
tory for Indiana episodes on which to
build patriotic celebrations that are
following one another in rapid success
sion. Indiana having long list to
choose from.
On the last day of the school year
every public school throughout the
state held pioneer day celebration in
which the school children. many of
whom were descendants of famous
local history. Some even wore the
ancient heirlooms of their ancestors
and carried old-time guns. carefully
preserved through several genera tions,
While Indiana has been the scene of
many interesting events in the 100
years of its statehood, the pioneer pc
riod is most extensively featured be-
cause of its high dramatic values. Fol-
lowing close on the trail blazed by the
Lewis and Clark expedition came many
emigrants from the seaboard and the

no more publicity at the time of their
occurrence than they have lately in

But although local history is certain

is not neglected. 1t is not overlooked
that the real factor of the centennial is
the admission of Indiana into the Union.

featured this idea in a unique and at

attended by her daughters Liberty and

OPPOSITION IN THE HOUSE
BY MAJORITY MEMBERS
Representative Cox Says He Sees
Species Of Graft, and "Uncle Joe"
Cannon Calls Expense Useless.

Conferees on the naval appro-
priation bill went to work today
with the knowledge that the
President wants to see the bill
enacted with the building pro-
gram as written by the Senate,
providing for the authorization
of eight capital ships of war in
the present fiscal year, and a
three-year building program
which will set the shipyards of
America working as never before
in all history.
The President knows from leading
democrats in the House that there is
opposition to this huge program and
that the strongest individual opposi-
tton comes from members of the ma
jority party. This was expressed on
the floor of the House by Representa-
tive Buchanan of Illinois. a member of
the House naval affairs committee.

Sees Species of Graft.
Representative Cox of Indiana. an
other democrat, has found in the bill
what he terms a species of graft" in
the way of additional high officers of
the navy. He has twice called atten-
ton to a Senate anne endment which, he
declares, will create eighty-tWo add1-
tional rear admirals. He also calls at
tention to provisions which. he says,
will result in millions of dollars being
spent on retired pay for navy men. who
can then take up other work under
the government and draw two salaries
"I am opposed to this dead wood and
graft and il ought to be cut out OF
the bill" said Representative Cox.

bill as il comes from the Senate IS so
filed with pork 'as to make the rivers

The former Speaker points out that

one has ever thought of building

and facilities, has a million dollars for
dredging carried in the bill He also

the boys and girls on the farm we
must see to it that the farm offers as
profitable and as attractive life as
other lines of work. He criticized the
indifferent attitude of many farmers
toward governmental affairs, and as an
example cited the present parcel post
system, which he said took 10 years to
establish because II express companies
IN the United States combined to pre-
vent such legislation. He criticized the
present tariff laws and the recent pre-
paredness legislation, going at length
into the detail of each. He felt that
the Grange brought all classes of rural
people together better than any other
organization. He said that in the past
few years our legislation had been
dominated by a few people and that it
was time for the farmers to wake up
and look out for themselves. The Amer
lean farmer is more independent than
any other class of people, but they pa,
dearly for this independence. The pres
ent milk situation was cited in com
parison with the railroad employees or
ganization, showing the difference IN
effectiveness between well organized
ana unorganized classes He said that
we have no reason to grumble about
conditions If we do not study iuto them
and help improve them.
Thomas Bradlee, director Of the Yer
mont Extension service, spoke briefly
on the efficiency Of county agent work,
stating that in large way the effeieu
cy of any county work Is dependent
very largely on the moral support Of
the Oranges and other organizations in
the county. He cited towns in Vermont
where the members of the Grange in
a body are members of the county farm
bureau, and went into detail on the part
that the local town representative ought
to play in helping along the county
work. He cited the efficiency experts
of the large manufacturing concerns
and suggested that in a way the coun
ty agent perform similar function to
the farmers in his county if they would
follow out suggestions which We're
based on the practices of the best
farmers in the county. The county or
ganization is very necessary, not only
in handling the affairs of the county
work but also acting III an advisory
capacity to the county agent. The work
in no county can be thoroughly sue
cessful unless all are ready to do their
part, and to be permanent county work
must grow from the inside and be de
veloped by the people themselves.
