He would empower that commission. as well as the several boards of park com missioners In Indiana, to condemn The land in Indiana's natural "beauty ror para purposes, Plans of the Governor. If the Governor's plans, to which he quietly has devoted much thought, are successful, a condition will be created In Indiana under which land in the historic and beautiful natural such as Turkey Run, certain regions in the Kankakee valley.

Cataract. Owen county; tho Shades of Death, and similar places may be condemned by county commissioners for county park. purposes or by the state park commissioners for state park purposes, the purposes of which would really be the same. The purposes of the state commissioners would lie in their powers to complete the. creation of state parks where perhaps the park site extended Into sev- eral counties, and the general supervision of all state and county parks subsequently to be et apart.

The atate commissioners also would have authority to make a perpetual beauty spot for the state at large out of uch-a place as.

Governor Ralston said: "Among them are to-be found men enjoying both the highest and the humblest walk of life, yet in their resolve to defend the honor of their country's flag, they are all moved by the same patriotic impulse. The boy who left his plow in the field to Join his comrades at Ft. Har- rison will stand elbow to elbow with the big business man, with the school profes sor and, the musician. It is a striking illustration that when a crisis comes upon" our nation our people recognize their close kindredship and resolve, if need be. to die together, to preserve the nation, for which nntrintio hlrtnd ho a htn shed on a hundred battlefields."

He helped to develop the old Northwest territory.
