MUTE EVIDENCE OF GREED

These pictures are actual photographs taken of the front and back of the original check Issued to J. Frank Hanly to pay him for addressing the graduating class of the Manual Training School, at Indianapolis, on June 8. They constitute mute evidence of the character of the man who received the money. The subject of the address was “Dreams That Come True,” and the speaker told the boys and girls that the dreams whioh come true are those born of desire. Any comment upon the smallness and greed shown in the acceptance of this check by the man whom the people of Indiana honored by elevating him to the position of Governor of the state, would be superfluous. Many men in private life, including John W. Kern and other citizens of Indianapolis, have gladly given their services for this purpose, to the same Manual Training School, without a thought of compensation. In truth, there is no precedent for this incident in the history of Indiana, and It is doubtful If one could be found anywhere in the history of any state In the Union.
