dd(a al tli unveiling of the monu
ment to General Henry W. lawton. Hi
speechfs devoted to, a discussion of
tlia rap way pMbletn and incidentally the
pneddetit paid a Wana tributa to Oliver
Morton, the war governor of Indiana.
Tho preldcnt arrived at 10:38 a,, m,
from Canton accompanied by Vlce-Presi
dent Fairbanks and ws driven to the
Fairbank' home where luncheon was
Icrved after which he was escorted lo
the courthouse' square by three battel
lions and . a battery of United States
troops, thirteen companies of tha 0. A.
R. and other organisation. '
The parade rout of two miles wai
lined . with cheering masses of people.
Following the ceremonies Vice-President
Fairbanks addressed the crowd briefly.
At the conclusion of exercise the
president and vice-president were driv
en to Crown mil cemetery where the
president placed on the grave of Former
President Harrison a . wreath of galax
leaves and lilies of tha valley which he
brought with him from Washington.
The train bearing the president left
here for Fort Wayne where he passed
the night In his car. Stops were made
at Anderson and Muncie. Tomorrow the
president will make an address at Lan
sing. Mich.
The president in his address here,
said In parti"
"Let the plain people insist on the
one hand on governing themselves and
on the other hand on "doing exact Justice
to the railways. Let the big railroad man
scrupulously refrain from any effort to
inlluence politics or government save as
k U the duty of every good citlsen In
legitimate- way to try to inlluence pol
itics and government j 'let the people as
whole, "In their turn, remember that
Is .their duty to discriminate: In the
sharpest, way between the railway ma
who doea well and the railway man who
doe ill and, above all, to remember
that the Irreparable moral, harm 'done
to the body politic by corruption Is
Just- as ' great, whether the corruption
takes the form of blackmailing a big
corporation or of corruptly doing it
bidding. What we have to demand in
ourselves and in our public servants is
honesty honesty to all men 5 and if we
condone dishonesty because we think it
Is excroised in the interests of tiMe
people,-we may rest assurred that the
man thus showing It lacks only the op
portunity to exercise It against the In
terests of the people. The man who on
occasion will eomiptly do .what Is
wrong In the interests of a big corpora
tion is the very man eager to blackmail
that corporation g the'. opportunity
arises. '' The man who Is on occasion a
corruptionlut, Is apt, when the gust of
popular (feeling- blows hard against the
corporations he has corruptly served, to
be the loudest, moit reckless and most
violent among those who denounce them.
Hunt such a man out of public life. Hunt
him out as remorselessly If be Is a
blackmailer a if he stands corruptly
for special privilege. Demand honeaty-
biolute, unflinching honesty together
with courage and common sense, fn pub
