There was ;,t .J|o sadness in his swan song and the ^governor, appeared to be content with tills four years as chief executive of ^ ^Wie state.. , •„ < * \ ^ ««j,0 our jjtjccessors we turn the reins With the best wishes for their success," , 'Was the Dunne way of putting it. The SUessa^e was conjprelieusi'/e, for it cov- .HQrs 55 pages of printed matter in pani- form. It deals with the various .state departments at length. The out- 'jpring governor made no recotnnienda- •tions for tiie future. He left the years ithat are coming for his successor to $lan. "The growth and development of the Ijftate and the happiness and content* jneat of Its people are first, in our ihearts," continued the message of the state executive. "We wish the new ;Iy" administration success. We bespeak for it your united support and fullest Cb-operation in every effort it puts r .forth to further the progress and im- ^ wove the legislation" and adinipistra- flon of tlie state." 2} The optimism of Governor Dunne Was reflected in sentences like the fol- ^ lowing: • " • \ "In a resume of the last four years <1 give first place to the rapid develop- - Stent of a new public sentiment upon i ^ the duty, not only of public officials. but also of the private citizen, in all ! ifDestions and matters relating to the administration of public affairs. In the press, pulpit, the school house, questions of public weal are discussed dispassionately and intelligently. I Relieve that our government at no time .has been so free from graft and cor­ ruption. There baa never been readier ' jfesponse to public sentiment and pub- nc office has never been so much a public trust as it Is today. In the four years this development of the civic wubucuCc has been both remarkable v and commendable. It means the sca- V.;,. |«Ity of democracy find the perpetuity ;"<Bf the republican form of government." , The governor then went on to say • Shere has been an enlargement of the Bumber as well as the functions of the fttate eleemosynary institutions. 4 ^ . - "They are no longer mere places of v detention of oar antisocial and de­ pendent elements," said the governor. "They have become great laboratories in which to study the causes of crime, i Insanity, dependency, delinquency ami £sebie-mindedness and to deduce , • from them those preventive remedies ; vUdk may relieve our nice of these \ ' yfgrtwnate burdens, | S * Tthe straight-jacket, the mult, the " tptlca bed, the bull pen and all the oth­ er mechanical devices used in the past to restrain and torture the insane and feeble-minded have been thrown into Che scrap heap. Constant supervision ' , t<y patient and forbearing nurses trained and under orders to refrain violence has been substituted for relics of inhumanity and ignor- This has been successfully brought about by placing the nurses upon an eight-hour day with one <by*8 rest in seven. Both patient and nurse have been immeasurably bene­ fited by same, but the patient more \. ... than the employee. ( - "The state has been singularly for- - .Innate In the personnel of Its board of administration, notably its president and it* alienist, under whom these great changes have been so successful- , f ly accomplished." (Fred J. Kern of Belleville is president of the board and , ©r. George A. Zeller of Peoria Is the ^lenist.) Governor bunne praised the public jlptilities commission' he appointed. . . f^The record of the present commission lias been one of diligence, justice and Accomplishment in which I take par- iflonuble pride," said the governor. ;; The governor was silent on the is- L^*j|Be of "home rule," which comes be- fwe the present general assembly, j 1 Governor Dunne took credit for the f'.

Our legislative halls during the last four years have been »Jtnore free from these Influences at any time in our history. Likewise affecting the franchise was thY> parfsuge Of the equal suffrage law, guarantee­ ing to women the right to vote ou stat­ utory officers and questions of pub­ lic policy. Illinois was the flrst of the great states to take this step. . "I have been devoted to the cause of eight-foot waterway, connecting Lake Michigan with the Gulf of Mex­ ico," said the state executive, referring to that issue which is now In the courts. The bill passed bus been de clared unconstitutional lii the lower courts and is pending before tnfe su­ preme tribunal. Governor Dunne-con­ tends an eight-foot channel is feasi­ ble. - Governor Dunne closed with this: "I lay down the honors, burdens and responsibilities of public ofiice with the consicousness of duty done to the best of my ability, with a deep sense of ob­ ligation to the people for the honors conferred upon me and a sincere wish tor the progress and prosperity of the state under the administration of my successor and his associates in offlcte." BACK TO NATURE State Lose* Tax Suit. Loss of $375,000 annual revenue to the state and the probable re­ payment of approximately $2,oOO,OOU to estates which have been taxed will result from an opinion landed .down by Justice Cartwrighit of the Illinois supreme court. He held that. the stocks of foreign corporations--businesses* not Incorpo­ rated in Illinois--do not come under the Inheritance tax law. The decision was made in a suit by the inheritance tax commission agalnfcf Carl P. Dennet, executor of the estate of Thomas A. Griffin. It is the rule of the commission to tax such stock according to the per* centage of stock held in Illinois. It was ascertained that about 50 per cent of the wheel company stock was owned in this state and an assessment of about $75,000 was made. This was resisted and the resulting action led to this opinion. . . "The ruling v\dll cut a large hole In the state's finances." said J. P. Young, tax attorney for the commission. "The commission's assessments of the stocks of foreign corporations amount to about $375,000 a year. Our reports show that from February 1, 1913, to November 1, 1914, such assessment? aggregated more than $700,000. We have been making assessments since 1909 and during that period they have totaled nearly $2,500,000."

President Wilson Asserts Secretary Tumulty Did Not Know of Peace Note in Advance--Boston Man , Starts Row at Hearing. Washington, Jan. 10.--Describing it first as a suppositious case, buit later stating it had been told to him as a fact, Thomas W. Lawson In his testi­ mony. before the house rules commit­ tee on Monday pictured a United States senator, cabinet officer and New York banker having a joint stock gam­ bling account and dividing the profits among them. He declined to give name's because he' did not know them of his own knowledge. "Was it a case within your personal knowledge?" asked Representative Gar­ rett "I don't wast toJ ask you for hearsay," : • "I appreciate ybttr" attlWide," " an­ swered Lawson, "and I meet it by saying that I might explode many sensations If I desired. I don't think this has reached the stage for giving names. It Is not within iny personal knowledge." "Did the person who told you claim to have knowledge?" "No, but I corroborated it later, and had„ a reputuble banker, a friend .of mine, and friend of the banker, go to see this banker. He mentioned this matter and said, 'What do you know about it?' He said the banker told him that he not only had this account, but others, and that he had this cab­ inet member under such absolute con­ trol that he could bring the cabinet member from Washington to New York or to the telephone at any time of the day or night, and he offered then and there to call him on the tele­ phone to demonstrate it. Now I am sorry to have gone that far." President Wilson added his Indorse­ ment to Secretary Tumulty's denial of any knowledge of a Wall street "leak" in connection with the peace note. Mr. Tumulty appeared before the house rules committee and made a statement reiterating that he had no knowledge of the note until it had been given to 'he press, and concluding: "1 am authorized by the president to quote him as follows: " 'I wish in justice to Mr. Tumulty to say that he has stated the exact fact. He had no knowledge of the note whatever until it was given out for publication.' Secretary of State. Lansing was also before the committee. He said that on the morning of his conference with the newspnjper men about the peace note, three other men were present waiting to see him but that he did not know they were In the room until after he had talked to the newspaper men. "Who were these men?" asked Rep- sentative Lenroot. "Mr. A. E. Snowden of New York, E. R. Gayler, a civil, engineer of the navy, and Dr. N. T. McLean of the navy," said Mr. Lansing. "The two naval offi­ cers were about to proceed to Haiti for tlie government." "It is not likely that they would say anything about your statement?" sug­ gested Representative Bennet. "Very improbable." Mr. Bennet recalled Secretary Lan- Ing had stated he never speculated in the market qnd added: "For that reason isn't It possible that you gave little thought to the effects a statement made by you might have on the stock market?" , "I never gave it a thought," said the secretary. "It never entered my mind. I was merely anxious to preserve the courtesy due to foreign nations in the matter." Mr. Snowden issued a statement at New York and denied that he was re­ sponsible for the "leak." . Thomas W. Lawson of Boston, who originated the now famous charges of an alleged "leak" to Wall street of the sending of President Wilson's peace note, was called yto the stand by the house rules committee. Lawson charged that official Wash­ ington is "literally honeycombed with leaks." "There are leaks In the Supreme court of the United States, In con­ gress, in the cabinet and direct from the "White House," he declared. "There has been a gigantic robbery of the American people--*a deliberate, premeditated robbery of the American people." "Can you give us the names of any­ one who profited by the leak?" asked Chairman Henry, before Mr. Lawson quit the stand. "Did you say 'can' or •will?'H In­ quired Lawson. * "I said 'can,'" responded Henry. "I can, but I won't," answered Law*- son. "I might have profited myself." - Down Six Allied Airplanes.
