Says Lincoln s
Words Inspired
Him to Fight
Charles E. Kerner Tells of
Abe'S Visit to Soldiers
During Civil War.

Abraham Lincoln's birthday hfty
years ago inspired an Indianapolis pri-
vate in the Union army to fight harder.
Today that former private of the blue
uniform again observes Lincoln's birth
day.
Charles f. Kerner. former private in
the army, is today paying silent homage
to the memory of Abraham Lincoln.
Charles Kerner. as he is called by
many indianapolis citizens, will be 70
years old next May.
He is bailif of the Marion county crim-
inal court and today vividly recalled two
historic appearances of President Lin
coin.
TELLS OF SEEING
LINCOLN DURING WAR.
The first time I saw President LIN
coin was during the civil war In 1851
when the army Of Gen. Mcdowell passed
in review Of the president" said Kcrner.
"On the steps Of the capitol building VIC
marched past our nations chief.
Then we tramped past the presidents
house and over Longs bridge into Nir-
ginia. His appearance seemed to cleo
trify the boys"
Mr.. Kerner said the next time he saw
EIeblQBAL L@luColu NdS al LA4SoA D
landing after McClellan's retreat.
Things were mighty dark then" said
Kerner, who was then only 90 years old.
LINCOLN'S LEGS
FLOP OVER PONY.
II will never forget the appearance Of
Lincoln during that review after the re-
treat. This was in the fall Of 80. Lin
coin wore a long tail dark coat and
black trousers and he had on a tall
black hat
YHe was straddled little pony and
his legs encircled the pony's TANKS. His
legs appeared to be too long for the
pony.
Il had to smile at the funny picture
but his visit TO us that day made all the
boys buckle down to business and de-
termine that there would not be another
defeat"
Kerner is proud to state that he passed
twice in review before President Lincoln.

TAXCREDIT FOR
PROMISED ROAD
Confuses Entirely Separate
Acts in Play to Hold
Southern Counties.
By FELIX F. BRUNER,
Times stan Correspondent.

TELL CITY, Ind Feb. 12-Citizcns
Of this city aud of Cannelton, q neigh
boring city, are discussing today the
question of whether the tax law II
wholly responsible for the fact that the
state highway commission may some day
in the future build a much-needed road
through here or whether Gov. James ?.
Goodrich deliberately mixed the discus
sion Of entirely separated acts Of the
legislature in his speeches yesterday AT
ernoon in order to make the tax law
appear responsible for something IL was
not
The governor was billed to make two
nonpartissn speeches, one al Cannelton
ard one here In both places larg
crowds Of both democrats and republi-
cans were gathered to hear him. In
both speeches he told his audiences
that the tax law was responsible for
the fact that Perry county will have
twenty-three miles of improved roads
some day--he hoped building would start
next spring.
He explained that the big corporations
In Lake county and the taxpayers OF
Marion county and others of the veal
thier counties Of the state will assist
in improving the Perry county roads
because Perry county is not able to do
this itself. He did not explain that the
law by which this Is possible is not
the tax law and that the tax law had
nothing whatever to do with it. In
fact he insisted that the tax law is as
largely responsible as the highway com.
mission act.
QUOTES FROM OLD
TAN REPORT.
Taxation in Lake county will help to
build roads in Perry county" he said.
o.
the construction of southern Indiana
roads than any southern Indiana county
itself with four or FIVE exceptions. South
ern Indiana counties were assessed much
higher in proportion under the old law
than the northern Indiana counties"
At this point the governor quoted the
report Of the tax commission appointed
by Gov. Ralston in which 1t is declared
that seventeen out Of the eighteen counties
highest assessed are located south of the
National road.
The governor declared that while cor
porationS are now assessed up to their
full cash value they must not be over
valued.
Il want to protect the corporations in
their Just rights he said. IF we
treated them unfairly they would cease
to come to the state. They help to build
up the state"
Repeating a statement made in his
Evansville speech, the governor said that
much of the differentiation OF corpora
tions is due to ignorance on the part Of
local assessors. He said that local as
SCISSORS are not able to grasp the value Of
a large manufacturing plant or a large
building as quickly as that Of a residence
or i farm.

indianapolis soldiers, who on the
of France fought to keep
alive the principles of democracy for
which Abraham Lincoln stood, today
paid tribute to the memory of Lin

Returned soldiers who served in France
and those who didn't get over, as well
as citizens who did noble and patriotic
work at home. united with the Marion
county Amerlcanism committee of the
American legion in patriotic memorial
service at the theater at noon today:
Frederick VanNuys, United States dis
trict attorney, and Albert Beyeridge, for
mer United States senator made the
principle addresses at the memorial
service.
STORES AND
BANKS CLOSED.
Many Of the downtown stores were
closed today as were the banks and most
of the public buildings.
Nearly all of the city schools gave
patriotic programs yesterday afternoon,
while other schools started courses in
Americanism a the request of the Amer
lcanism committee of the American
legion.
All civic and social agencies uuited
with the American legion in observing
Lincoln's birthday.
This country is not large enough to
harbor with safety within its borders,
men who are not in sympathy with
American ideals, who refuse to contract
American habits or who refuse to think
like Americans, to live like Americans
fo nd Ia n
guage," said Mr.. VanNuys in making a
plea for complete Americanization Of all
foreigners in this country.
NO PLACE FOR
BOLSHEVISM.
There is no place for bolshevism and
: it's affiliated and sympathetic political or
ganizations in this country" he said
ut Is true that America is pre-
eminently the land Of political, social and
religious liberty, but that liberty is a
harnessed liberty, it was never intended
to be confused with license.
Every mans rights in America leaves
of where the next mans rights begin
and God forbid the day when any con-
siderable portion of our citizenship shall
confuse American liberty with a disease
and fostering ambition to plunder and to
burn and to destroy under the banner of
co-called personal liberty.
I'VE welcome today the increasing ac-
tivities of the American Legion and its
Americanization committees as one Of the
most effective vehicles toward stamping
out those organizations which are at
tempting to undermine the properly or,
ganized government of America and TO
tear down and destroy the accomplish
nents of centuries of effort toward con-
stltutional liberty"
