Copyright, 1S09, by American Press Association. GOING. GOING. GONE! On the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Lincoln, the emancipator, 200 "white Blares" were sold at auction, W-h-a-t!
Strange as it may seem, these men were actually sold in a Brooklyn church to any one who would offer food, shelter and employment for them. These 200 men, of Tarious ages and ability, were over-the-fence-and-out men. Discouraged in the long, vain search for employment, they offered themselves to the bidders. In a previous sale some fifty men were sold by the same auctioneer. The plan originated with a machinist who advertised himself for sale in the newspapers. He sold himself by this method to a woman who sent him to run a chicken farm In New Jersey. Among those sold on Lincoln day were several college graduates who in default of any other work had been shoveling snow for the city. Unlike the auction sales of slaves before the war, each man wore a black mask to conceal his Identity. You thought slavery and involuntary servitude had been done away by Lin-

A LIVE TOPIC DISCUSSED. Leading newspapers throughout the country continue to deal thoroughly with the question of manual training which concerns a number of schools in Lake County. One editor says:
As it is now children of farmers, mechanics and laborers are carried coln's proclamation?
through the high schools and taught a smattering of tho ornamental branches jIen aiwayS whj( until the day of the of learning, which make them dissatisfied with their position and surround- millennium, be In bondage, some volunim T,off wt hih ran,ctn iho fa It, cfc wcr, tarily and some because of mUsfor-
tune, some of their own volition or to go to cities and become clerks or embark on literary careers. They are fault, some because they got between
taught nothing to fit them for useful, hard-working, self-supporting lives, the upper and nether millstones.
The spectacle of men selling them
selves on the block makes one grow
sick at heart. Nevertheless
The world is growing better and saner
and more merciful slowly, but surely. Slowly, but surely, we are getting
further away from slavery and tyran ny and injustice.
In this connection the inspiring poem
written by George Alfred Townsend some years ago is apropos, and we
quote from It the following lines
Deep the wells of nomble childhood, cool
the spring beside the hut
Millions more as poor as Lincoln see the
door he has not shut.
Not till wealth has put Its canker every
poor white's cottage through
Shall the great republic wither or the In
fidel subdue. Stand around your great commander,
Lay aside your silly, fears.
Every Lincoln carries freedom's car alone
a hundred years,
and the atmosphere of their schools tends in turn attention and interest in in other directions. All this should be changed. If the community is to be taxed for the education of children it has the right to demand that when the progress is completed every graduate should have been taught something that will make him self-supporting, and be a guarantee that he shall not become a further charge on the state. This can be effected by changing the high schools Into schools for manual and business training, domestic science and for a reasonable amount of technical education. Our education 13 painfully lacking in these respects, the very ones in which it should be universal and thorough. One of the conspicuous reasons for the great strides Germany has made in the last two or three decades is the general establishment throughout the empire of schools of this character, which have enabled her to greatly Increase the amount and improve the standard of the commodities she manufactures, and to complete successfully for trade in the markets of the world. Striking as has been our advance m twenty years, with our much greater national advantages, she has during that period outstripped us and expanded her resources and commerce more than we have, and it is due chiefly to the superior practical education she has been giving her young people. If we are to continue to carry education at the public expense beyond the period of childhood, let it be along lines that will contribute to public
DID JfOT KNOW OP APPOINTMENT. Charles B. Landls, former member of congress from the Ninth District, declared last night that If he was to be appointed governor of Porto Rico he did not know It. "I have received absolutely no information," he said, "except what I read In the newspapers." IMPLICATED IX MURDER. In an affidavit made in connection with her suit for divorce, filed in cir
cuit court yesterday, Mrs. Ida Rice of
Evansvllle makes charges against her husband, Frank Rice, his sister, Mrs. Albert Taylor and Dr. L. M. Stroud of Terrell, Tex., tending to Implicate them in the alleged murder of Albert Taylor at Terrell, Tex., on Jan. 8, 1905.
MAT BUILD CITY HALL. The City of Indianapolis will now
proceed with the building of Its pro
posed city hall. The decision of Judge Remster In the circuit court yesterday
morning dissolving the restraining order and declining to grant an Injunction against the city officials upon
a petition filed by Otto Stechhan and Frank W. Flanner makes possible the erection of the building.
MAKES SURVEYS FOR ROAD. Two engineers of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction com
pany spent the last four days going
over the territory between Danville
and Sullivan through which the new
interurban line is to run. The engineers and the right of way man, Colonel W. W .Huffman, have made a report to the company which Is said to be highly favorable In every way. The report shows that the territory through which the line Is to run In full of excellent possibilities and not territory in which engineers would meet with great construction difficulties. It is reported that the company has determined to build the road and is now perfecting details. BLOODLESS OPERATION SUCCEEDS. Little Helen Eryson, the 10-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Bryson of Fort Wayne Is able to get about now without the aid of crutches following a bloodless operation for congential hip, from which she has suffered since birth. LONG TIME ON THE WAY. Seven years and twenty days from Lafayette to Dora, Wabash county, was the length of time taken by a postal written by F. E. Williams, then at Lafayette, to his father, Warren Williams, at Dora. The card was mailed and postmarked at Lafayette, Ind., March 11, 1902. It was postmarked and received by Warren Williams at Dora, April 1, 1909. There is nothing to indicate the long delay, and no other postmark appears. BREWERS POOR REMON STRATOR S. Joseph E. Bell, attorney for the
Brewers exchange, and Victor Jose of the Capital City Brewing company were not successful yesterday in the role of "remonstrators." They failed to convince the Marlon county commissioners that a liquor license should not be granted to William Z. Watson, who owns his own bar fixtures and desired to retail liquor at 114 and 116 West Maryland street, buying It wherever his fancy dictates. The commissioners granted the license to Watson and didn't even wait to "hear" Bell and Jose. RU3ILEY COMPANY TO STAY. The M. Ruraley company of L&Porte today announced Its decision to build its factory to employ 250 men in this city, rejecting toe offers of other cities which have been bidding for the Industry. Kerosene traction engines will be manufactured. The new plant will
occupy a building two blocks In length. The citizens pledged the company to build 150 new houses for the employes who will be brought here. POTATOES BEING PLANTED. Early potatoes are being planted at Morocco this week and gardening is well under way. The weather Is unusually favorable, being warm and dry, and all kinds of farm work is fully ten days ahead of the usual time. In spite of poor oats crops the last two
seasons the acreage sown this spring will be fully up to the average. It is
believed. MOXON REPORT ENCOURAGING.
The report of the Monon, filed with the Interstate commerce commission for the eight months ended Feb. 28,
shows that in February the operating
revenue was $355,778, an increase over
1908 of (38,407. The total operating expenses were 289,633, an Increase of $13,147. The net operating revenue
was $66,144, an increase of $25,249. BURIED IN EASTER GOWN.
While arranging for an elaborate
Easter party, to which she had In
vited numerous friends, Mrs. Carrie
Webb, of Kokomo, died suddenly at her
home in this city. Instead of a party her funeral will be held. She will be burled In the Easter dress which she had made for the event and the Invited guests will be present at the
obsequies. TRICKED INTO MARRIAGE.
Love letters made public tend further
to incriminate the Rev. Elmer E. David
son of Washington In the sensational
charges brought against him by Miss Laura Bunn Clark, to the effect that the minister tricked her into a false marriage ceremony, and the stir these letters caused added to the Intense feeling which has developed furnished another chapter to the story, which grows more thrilling as time passes.

WATCHING GOVERNOR MARSHALL. Indiana republicans as well as Indiana democrats, are watching with considerable interest the Jefferson Day dinner in New York City, for the reason
that Gov. Marshall of this state, is to be one of the guests of honor. Early 1805 Horatu Gates, a distinguished ofas It is presidential calculations may take rise from the occasion. An Eastern ficer of the American revolution,
paper says: Another speaker of the evening will be Gov. Marshall of Indiana, a new man in public affairs, but much admired by his friends, and accredited with high ambition. This invitation has caused a stir in the Hoosier state, and the governor's supporters expect him to make a fine Impression in the east. A letter from Indianapolis, states that the governor is making careful preparations. He is comparatively a young man and persumably a Bryan democrat. At any rate, he supported Mr. Bryan last year, and the Bryan men helped elect him. On this occasion he will give the east the first taste of his quality. Other distinguished guests will be Gov. Harmon of Ohio another star on the democratic horizon and Champ Clark of Missouri, leader of the democratic menority. If the next house is democratic, Clark will in all probability, be the speaker. It will be a great gathering for Tammany braves to size up and there are those in Indiana who believe that the fearless Mr. Marshall will not be weighed in the balance and found wanting.
