be taken out and shot on March 4,
1909, after he. turns over the White
House to his successor if the sugges-
tion of Dr. H. Johnson, head of the
Latin department of Indiana Univer-
sity, Is respected.
In an address to his class on tbe
uselessness of ex-presidents to them-
selves or the country at large. Dr.
Johnson's voice choked with emotion
as he told of the haYd work that lay
before a former occupant of the Pres-
idential chair. He skid that unless
the Government saw fit to pension
them at $100,000 a year It would be
far more charitable to shoot them and
put them out of their misery.
He said they were mentally and
physically incapable of earning a liv-
ing after entering the nation for four
strenuous years. Dr. Johnson cited
Grant’s efforts to earn money after
he retired and pointed to the fact
that the great warrior had lost a mil-
lion dollars for his friends. Grover
Cleveland, he said, was ekelng out a
precarious existence writing recipes
for the Ladies' Home Journal. Dr.
Johnson is one of the best known
educators and lecturers in the Middle
West.

"Lincoln was nothing more than a
ward political boss,” Dr. Wall Is re-
ported tb have said. “Ho did not
associate with the better class of peo-
ple In his home town.”
No pne had ever thought to look
up the! blue book in Lincoln's borne
town, and as the speaker formerly
lived there he is well acquainted with
the early life of the martyred Presl
dent His disparaging remarks have
brought forth a denial front Dr. James
A. Woodbum, head of the history de-
partment. Dr. Woodburn dentes that
l/ncoln was a political boss, and says
that, the name of Lincoln Is too great
and his life too noble to be associated
even by implication with the "deplor-
able and detestable rule of the politi-
cal boss.”
