EOITORS GUESTS OF THOMAS TAGGART Spend Restful Hours at the Famous Health Resort. FRENCH LICK SPRINGS HOTEL Governor Ralston Joins Party and in Speech Gives Unstinted Praise to Administration ot' President. When the train bearing the members of the Indiana Democratic Editorila Association left Orleans and headed for the stub end of the line there was an ever-increasing feeling of welcome permeating the air and as the Monon train lunged forward the feeling became more apparent as the distance between the tired editors and the journey's end grew less. Why should it not? Every man, and especially every editor, who has ever been to French Lick knows there is something about the place, its environments and location that makes one feel like getting back home. No matter how sick or all-in a man may feel 1 1 'Hr— J- 'W ■ , v-gw f— 1 *■ 1 " ■ ■

♦hqp he arrives at French Lick he forgets it all after he is there a few days and when he is ready to leave, it is with a sigh and a resolution that he ; will come back some time, no matter: whether he has any business there or not. The visit this year of the Democratic editors of Indiana with their wives and sweethearts at the French Lick Springs Hotel, as it has often been before, was upon the invitation ' of the genial host of the place, i Thomas Taggart. When the meeting of the association was announced for New Albany Mr. Taggart imme- i diately sent word that as the folks ■ were that close to his house he would i be glad to have them run over and pay him a visit and enjoy the refreshing waters of old Pluto and the pic- ‘ turesque ride down the beautiful French Lick Valley. The invitation I was accepted and Saturday evening I the happy party reached the place and a father never welcomed home his chilren with more downright good cheer than did genial Mr. Taggart receive the moulders of public opinion on this occasion. Since the editors met at French Lick last the handsome hotel has 1 undergone vast improvements. An addition, much larger than the main ■ X. —’ ‘A— ' THE FAMOUS PLUTO SPRINGS. building was, has been built, the bath houses and swimming pool have been completed and modernly equipped, the grounds have been further beautified and the whole estate has been added to with an eye single to the comfort, convenience and entertainment of the thousand of people who visit the place every year. Old Pluto still works at its job of sending forth the health giving waters. The supremely good service that always was maintained about big hotels has been kept up to standard and if there is anything that has not kept abreast with the progress of the age it did not make itself manifest to the inquiring and searching eyes of the newspaper men and woman as they strolled over the grounds or enjoyed the delightful rest on the cool porches. Many of the older members of the editorial party found much to entertain themselves by comparing the French Lick of today with what it was before it came under the management of Mr. Taggart. Many of the older writers had visited French Lick in its early history but there was nothing left of the old landmarks to remind them of the former ownership. The last of them have been done away with to make room for the new modern way. The unceasing effort of Mr Taggart is to make the r’ece an ideal one where rest from Mis toils and business cares of life

an be had and combine this relaxa--ion with the healthful waters of f Pinto by drinking it and bathing in j ;t helps nature to throw off the worn i out tissues of the body and makes I life really worth living. Another asset of French Lick that j must never be overlooked and which '.no other place can claim is the genuine good fellowship and soul inspiring companionship of the host, Mr. Tag- ; part. Had the waters no medicinal | qualities nor the place the pleasant location It enjoys there is enough in the life and companionship of Mr. Taggart to make a sick man well or the worst fagged brain to regain its i vigor and be ready for the battle of life again. The visit this year to French Lick by the newspaper men and women of Indiana was indeed one of the pleasant events _>f the midsummer outing. The entire stay in Southern Indiana was filled with pleasure. The hospitality of the people, the warmth of wel,l come of the different cities and above all the entertainment and general good time afforded the visitors by Mr. Taggart and the freedom of his palatial hotel and beautiful grounds were . certainly calculated to renew energy and give all of them a better view of I life. The vote of thanks given Mr. Tag- ■ gart by the editorial party was not : a formal affair. It was genuine and came from the heart. His devotion to the cause they uphold in their papers at home; his fidelity to the partv and oat-. ::

the untiring work that he puts into the campaigns in conjunction with them make him a feliow-worker and to break bread with him. following such a glorious victory in which they and Mr. Taggart took such a prominent part, was a happy ending of a very pleasant week. The editors were loth to leave, but their business required them at home. They left with that same feeling that they’ would come back again just as soon as they could and if not sooner it would be when the invitation was extended again. , The midsummer meeting of the I Indiana Democratic Editorial Associa- , tion was more largely attended than any former meeting and will be recorded as one of the most enjoyable. EPITOME OF NEW ALBA NY’S HISTORY. NEW ALBANY, organized October 13, 1813, is 100 years old, three years older than the State of Indiana and six years older than Floyd county, of which she is the county seat. NEW’ ALBANY was one of the first towns in Indiana to build a public school; 1817. NEW ALBANY had a newspaper as early as 1824, one of the first in the state. NEW’ ALBANY contributed more than $1,000,000 to the building of the first steam railroads in Indiana. NEW’ ALBANY’ gave the State of Indiana one of its most brilliant Governors—Ashbel P. Willard; in 1856. NEW ALBANY gave the Nation the first democratic speaker of the national house of representatives following the civil ’war—Michael G. Kerr, who was the father of tariff legislation in the House of Representatives at that time. NEW ALBANY’ operated the first plate glass manufactory in the United States, in 1877, conducted by W. C. DePauw. NEW ALBANY built the fastest steamboat in the United States before the Civil War—the Robert E. Lee; also many other fine steamers of that period. NEW’ ALBANY’ furnished a citizen who was the means of perpetuating a great university at Greencastle—W. C. DePauw. NEW ALBANY’ is situated on the right bank of the Ohio river with unrivalled facilities for manufacturers. The placid waters of the Ohio river give her transportation at all seasons for transportation to say nothing of her railroade—the Pennsylvania, Big Four. Monon, B. & O. and two fine interurban lines. NEW ALBANY has nearly 100 manufactories and turns out over $5,000,090 of finished products annually. NEW ALBANY has the best public school system that is afforded in the great State of Indiana and also several private and, parochial schools. NEW ALBANY’ has thirty churches and her people are moral and law-abiding. NEW ALBANY has three of the largest banks and two of the most enterprising trust and ssving deposit companies in the state. In short, New Albany is ° n " ‘"m most desirable cities in Indiana to live in.

: A BRIGHT FUTURE ; FOR SOUTHERN CITY r r -——— New Albany Organized Oct. 13. 1813. Is Older Than State. i ■ i TO CELEBRATE CENTENNIAL One of the First Towns In Indiana to Build a Public School Many of Its Citizens Prominent in History. Written for local committee Indiana Demo-1 crate- Editorial Asetw-iation by Fnw..an EmraTnn * New Albany will be 100 years old October 13, 1913. The event will be I duly celebrated by her citizens, many I of whom are descendants of the pioneer settlers. The centennial cere- ■ monies will continue during the week of October 13th and will consist of , varied appropriate exercises the main ' idea being to draw attention to the historic events which have transpired during the century, and incidentally | to let the world know something about the city’s present commercial importance. The celebration therefore will be more sentimental than j commercial, yet her citizens would be ! glad to let the world know just what i New’ Albany affords in the way of educational advantages, of her splendid facilities for manufacturers and I commerce in all of its phases. It is fortunate that the Indiana ■ Democratic Editorial Association is to meet in New Albany during the I Centennial year. For eighty-eight ; years the town or city has supported a newspaper. At the present time there are two daily and three weekly ! newspepers published within her | tiordcrs. This is not the first occasion that the city has entertained an editorial association. In 1879 the Indiana editors were entertained here, and the few living" editors who attended that convention will never forget the hospitality extended to them at that time. It is to be hoped that those'who have attended the convention of 1913 will not forget the meeting now held and will got to their homes with the best wishes for this pioneer city. , It is fitting that the Democratic ; Editorial Association should meet in i New Albany. Although republicans, progressives, socialists and democrats have joined in an effort to make the visit of the Democratic Editorial Association pleasant it is not out of place to call attention to the fact that this is a democratic city. The county is a democratic county, and the New Albany district is the most safely democratic of any of the thirteen congressional districts of the state. Every county official in Floyd is a democrat and every city official is of the same political faith. In due time we will have a democratic postmaster, though the present postmaster is a very good fellow, having formerly been an editor, and during this convention entertained one of the visiting editors i w’ho also happens to be a postmaster. Gave Nation a Great Speaker. It may not be out of place also to , mention as a historic event that New i Albany furnished the nation the first democratic speaker of the United States house of representatives after the civil war—the Hon. Michael C. Kerr, four times elected to congress frnm this district. Mr. Kerr during his incumbency in congress was urging the very thing the congress of the United States is now about to do—pass a bill for an act for a tariff for revenue only. Mr. Kerr* was perhaps ! one of the greatest students of political economy that Indiana has produced. He was in advance of his time. New Albany also furnished tho State of Indiana a great and eloquent Governor—Ashbe) P. Willard, who was darted in 185 G after a turbulent canvass. He combatted knownothing--1 ism and all of the other isms which I the democratic party is compelled to controvert in times of great stress. To congress New Albany has sent many able men besides Kerr, among them the eminent jurist, George A. j Bicknell, whose son, Admiral Bick- ) nell, retired, resides here and who was active in preparing for the entertainment of the editors and who is I prominent in the centennial observ-1 ances. To mention the men who have i adorned the bench and bar would be I ! » task too weighty for this brief sketch. Suffice it to say that in recent years George V. Howk was a member I of the supreme court bench; Judge I John H Stotsenburg was a comtnis--1 awnej of the supreme court, and ij

j succeeded by his son, Senator Evan I Stotsenburg, who is one of the leading members of the Indiana bar. The Stotsenburg family also furnished the I nation with one of the most gallant soldiers of the late war with Spain, | Col. John H. Stotsenburg, who was killed in action in the Philippines. In the civil war New Albany furnished many gallant soldiers, among them, Gen. Walter Q. Gresham, Gen. i Benjamin F. Scribner, Gen. James Cravens, Col. Cyrus L. Dunham, Col. »DeWitt Clinton A ithony and Col. William L. Sanderson. New Albany sent a legion of soldiers to the Mexican, Civil, Spanish-American and other wars. Fortitude, integrity and honor has i marked the career of her pioneers, and valor on many fields has distin- ) guished the career of her soldiers. Much Pride of Ancestry. Naturally there is much pride of ancestry, and justly so, among the descendants of the early pioneers. I The many daring of these pioneers and of her soldiers on many fields is an inspiration to the living descend- , ants. It was in the summer of 1913 when Joel, Abner and Nathaniel Scribner landed at what is now the City of New Albany. They came from New York state—in the vicinity of Albany, the capitol, and this was why they called the town New Albany. They I had a deed with them for 800 J acres of land, and they immediately commenced to survey it, and to lay the land off into town sites. They were ’ business men and monied men, and came prepared to make the enterprise which they were undertaking a success. From the very beginning the town flourished, and shortly before the beginning of the civil war New Albany was the largest town in Indiana both in point of population and wealth, her only rival being Madison. Indianapolis was not thought of as a competitor in those days, and New Albany’s only rival was Louisville. On Historic Ground. New Albany is located on historic ground. Almost to the very center of the city runs Clark's grant, or the Illinois grant, part of the 150.000 acres given by the State of Virginia to Gen. George Rogers Clark and his soldiers for their vnlor in reducing the British post at Vincennes in 1799, thus securing to the United States an empire, now embraced in the great states of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota. Some of the gallant soldiers who followed Clark from the Falls of the Ohio to Kaskaskia and Vincennes lie buried in the city cemetery. Gen. William /Henry Harrison, the hero of Tippecanoe, and afterward ninth president of the United States, often rode over the streets of New Albany, or at least the pathways called streets, in the pioneer days on his way from Louisville to Vincennes. The old trail can yet be pointed out. It is to recall memories of this kind that New Albany is to celebrate her centennial. It is to be done with much pomp and circumstance. The governor of the state, the Honorable Samuel M. Ralston is to be the honored guest of the city on this occasion as is also the vicepresident of the United States, the Honorable Thomas R. Marshall; the governor of Kentucky, the Honorable James B. McCreary, and his lieutenant governor, the Honorable Edward J. McDermott; Senators Shively and Kern; all of the Indiana congressmen; the former vice-president of the United States, the Honorable Charles W. Fairbanks, former Senator Beveridge and many other distinguished ' statesmen. New Albany is often styled an oldfashioned town. She pleads guilty to this charge. Her citizens do not worship the almighty dollar above every- ; thing else. In her centennial celebraj tion she will endeavor to show the world the higher things that she has stood for and will stand for in the future. She invites manufacturers and commerce. Her citizens believe in her future and to show what she is i made of promises to entertain all who may come to her centennial in away ' which they will ever remember. Preparations have been made for the entertainment of at least 60,000 visitors during centennial week, and those who fail to come will miss a great deal. At the time the centennial is to be given the season is at its best; weather is fine and the surounding silver hills give added interest to | the occasion affording facilities for scenic observations unsurpased. From | the beautiful hilltops a view may be obtained of Ixiuisville, Jeffersonville and the City of New Albany. It is to be hoped that the members of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association will find it convenient to return in October to help make the centennial a success.
