XV, LINCOLN The One Hundreth Anniversary dent. His Birth. His Emancipator. The THE YOUNG MAN. "Had all traditions, arrangements, creeds, societies that man ever instituted, sunk away, this would remain, the certainty of heroes being sent us," thus says Carlyle in his famous "Hero Worship." Our country and all our people pause this week in their busy rush of business to pay tribute to the greatest hero ever sent us—Abraham Lincoln, the greatest and most remarkable character in American history. Born under adverse circumstances the story of the rise of this man reads like a romance. Born in 1809, of poor shiftless parents, his mother taught him to read. Like many other boys of his time he was early innured to hardship of the pioneer life. There were many and long hours for hard work and few days for school. But the lofty ambition implanted in young Lincoln by his mother was ever urging him onward. At all times, and in all places he was seeking for knowledge and building a character for honesty and integrity. His early years were spent among the hardy settlers of Kentucky and Illinois and one memorable trip down the Mississippi river, when the full hideousness of slavery was laid bare before him. From that hour he became the champion of the common people and through their confidence in him was elevated to the Presidency. HIS PREPARATION. Lincoln went to the White House duly prepared for the great work before him. Previous to his elevation to the Presidency he had been a flat boat-man that he might know first hand the evils of slavery and his great mind revolt. He became salesman in a store and postmaster of an Illinois town. He served in the militia and became a captain in the Black Hawk War, serving along with many officers who afterwards became famous in American history. He became a lawyer, a legislator, and a statesman. At no time in the history of Lincoln's life does he descend to the level of the political trickster. He believed in the people. He believed in honestly putting his case before them and accepting their verdict. The years of Lincoln's preparation for the Presidency were momentous in --- American history. The new governmen formed but a few years before his birth was torn with dissension and the great climax of its life was soon to come. Nullification and secession first appeared in Jackson's time, and continued under various phases to show itself. It was seen in the heated discussion of the right of the States and Territories to legislate for the control of slavery. The famous debates of Douglas and Lincoln added to the nation's confidence in Lincoln. Though defeated for the United States Senate by Douglas, he became the logical candidate of the Republican party and won in the campaign of 1860. THE EMANCIPATION. Various people have their estimates of America's great men. To some Washington stands as the ideal of American manhood and patriot. To others Lincoln, the war President,—"a unique and marvelous man, who has no parallel personality in the history of mankind." Especially to the Negro, does this great sad personage stand as an apotheosis. Lincoln believed in the perpetuity of the government. He hated slavery because it was contrary to all ethics of our government and to the teachings of the God whom he loved. He knew that in the back ground of sesession, the slavery question was omnious and almost paramount. As President of the United States his supreme purpose was to save the government and bring back the seceding states. The emancipation of the slaves was a measure calculated to cripple the South and hasten victory for Northern arms. It did not come when many honest abolitionist demanded it, and it came sooner than many critics of Lincoln through proper. In meeting the many emergencies of his office, during the exciting years of the Civil War, the nation had came to appreciate the true greatness of the man. With the emancipation four million Negroes at once became humble worshipers at his shrine. WHY WE CELEBRATE. Lincoln in emancipating the slave set no standard for him to reach. He saw in the black slave a man fashioned after the image of God, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing The RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, with the rights of life, liberty, and rewards for his toil. He believed in due time the Negro would rise, as do all men within the same environment, to the same heights of Christian citizenship. The Negro has slowly but surely came up to the common standard of American citizenship. He is an industrious and skilled laborer, he is a devoted parent; he is a patriot loving the flag that carries liberty to all the world. To him the great opportunities of life have come only through the martyred President. To the fast diminishing remnant of thone who felt the slave-drivers lash, the name of Lincoln is almost sacred. To the race the name of Lincoln is an inspiration for greater achievement and more patriotic devotion. We celebrate his natal day and revere his memory because to us Lincoln is the greatest American of them ALL. WILLIAMS AND WALKER Five thousand dollars for one nights performance! This is the amount that was paid to close the Great Northern Theatre, Chicago. Something never heard of before in the history of the Chicago theatrical world. Information on the matter has been kept quiet. It only leaked out on Monday night. It seems that the affair was arranged early in January to have the stars and their company one night in the last week of their engagement. To do this the house had to be bought out. And the trouble did not end at this junction, and the matter was forwarded to New York to be settled. After a long drawn out wrangle it was finally agreed upon to allow the company to appear before the most select audience of Chicago, which consisted of fifty persons. The whole thing sounds like a fairy tale, but still it is true. Such things have happened in Paris when Count de Castellaine was spending the Gould millions. Mrs. Jack Gardner of Boston has arranged some big stunts. The Vanderbilts have given Williams and Walker $1,000 for themselves for one niget's entertainment on the lawn at Newport, R. I. It has been said through the press in New York that different opera stars got so much and so much for one night's entetainments; but this is the first time in the history of the American theatrical world that a house has been bought out and closed. This seems to be a Chicago society fad. The Pekin stood alone. The North Side "Four Hundred" bought it out to see "The Mayor of Dixie," but not at such a big figure as the above. The funny thing about the whole matter is that on both occasions that these sensational stunts have been pulled off in Chicago, the Negro actor --- has been on the funny end of it Williams and Walker are to receive $1,000 bonus extra. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES New Orleans, La., Jan. 31.—Having apparently frozen to death the body of John Washington, colored, was found in the street early today. A company of Negroes was formed in Hamerhill, Mass., to manufacture "The Fred Douglas Shoe." This shoe has become very popular and the trade is rapidly extending South. Texarkana.—George Bolton and J. E. Watson, both white, were yesterday arrested on the plantation of C. W. Moores, about 18 miles from Texarkana, on a charge of forging the name of a Negro to a deed to a tract of land near Leary Texas. George Holt, of St. Louis, has recently come to Chicago for the purpose of opening a first-class hotel. He has purchased the property at 3116 State street for $16,000, and will at once begin the reconstruction of the building for first class hotel purposes. New quarters have been given the Dental College at Howard University, and Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, the capable demonstrator, is supremely happy. The floor space has been increased several times over that of the former rooms and a large number of new chairs and engines have been added to the equipment. The laboratories and work shop are given an entire floor. The classes are larger this year than ever before. Washington, Feb., 1.—Colored people of Washington have joined the movement to live as Christ would. The Rev. Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, of the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church, sprang a surprise on his congregation yesterday by making the announcement that he was going to follow in the footsteps of the Savior for a month. He took a vote of those present, and practically every church member in the building arose and joined the movement. According to Mr. John G. Jones, the mining town of McDonald, Pa. with four hundred colored persons, two hundred of whom are miners, has many excellent Negro enterprises, including an upholstery and large coal firm, many fine residences, sixty-five thousand dollars' worth of property, and no prejudice in their town. The Ne- groes of McDonald have apparently dug deep enough to find the secret of how to be treated like other men. A. C. Howard, of New York, is the proprietor of one of the largest establishments for the manufacture of shoe polish in this country. Some years ago when he followed the calling of polishing shoes he had an idea he could prepare an article for the purpose superior to what was then on the maket. He undertook it and succeeded. Now he has a big factory in New York City, and has also established agencies in many parts of the country. According to the Cleveland Gazette, Cleveland has a colored captain in one of its white military organizations, a colored batallion, the Ninth; a colored police lieutenant, fifteen colored school teachers, including one in a high school; two Negro assistant superintendents in manufacturing establishments, employing white operatives and one colored private secretary to a railroad president. First in the arts of war, first in arts of peace, and first in the arts of the company. If the Commercial Club of Tulsa Oklahoma, accepts the proposition of St. Louis capitalists there will soon be building in the city of Tulsa the largest packery of the Southwest. This will mean the investment of upward of a million dollars and will afford employment for a large number of Negro carpenters and mechanics, as well as giving occupation to a large Negro force after the plant is in continual operation. It will, at the least, be a repetition of Kansas City and Omaha. The new Lincoln Theatre at Knoxville, Tenn., bids fair to eclipse the Pekin at Chicago if a strong stock company is not soon installed by Manager Robert Motts. The new Lincoln is owned by Cal Johnson, who is said to be wealthy and a man of very good quality. He recently donated $10,000 to the colored Y. M. C. A. of Knoxville and has just received a photograph of President himself. Mr. Johnson is now busy completing plans to erect a $35,000 theatre in order to book and play all the first-class colored shows in the country. Washington, D. C., Feb. 1. President Roosevelt has given his consent to the placing of the head of Lincoln on one of the popular coins. He conferred with Director Leach of the Mint, and the details are now under advisement. Victor D. Brenner, the New York sculptor, has submitted models of Lincoln busts, and these have been shown to the President. The head NO. 21 of Lincoln, splendidly drawn, will adorn one side of the coin, and the customary coat of arms the other side. It is probable that the half-dollar piece will be selected as the principal coin to bear the Lincoln head, but legislation may be necessary to make the change. Cicinnati, O., Jan.—28.—Race feeling is held responsible today for a triple tragedy last night at the East Night High School in which the victims were William Wuebbold, William Brill and Charles Ruff, all white boys, aged about 17. Wuebbold is dead and Brill and Ruff dying. All three were stabbed by Atlas Telford, an 18-year-old colored boy, who was attacked by a crowd of white boys. The fact that there had been several previous attacks on the boy and two huge rocks were found in the pockets of Wuebbold will be used as an argument to secure his acquittal. Richard Jones, colored aged 15, was shot and killed by Detective Kuhman last night as he was passing through the Big Four Railroad yards. The police are trying to ascertain if the race feeling engendered by the high school riot had anything to do with the shooting, which Jones' companions say was without provocation. IN THE MAIL SERVICE. It is given out informally that Mr. Taft will not encourage the idea of Negro postmasters in the South. For years there has been a persistent effort in the Postoffice Department to fill the postal service with Negroes. The Ledger has no protest to make, but suggests that already the Negroes are monopolizing the railway mail service and the letter carrier service. The railway mail service requires an examination, and the Negro applicants are prepared for it very carefully, and they are gradually crowding the white clerks out. The same thing may be said of the letter carrier service. It is under the Civil Service and an examination is required and the Negroes are specially drilled and get on the eligible list. White men do not give the time and study necessary, and it will not be long before the service will practically belong to the ambitious Negroes who work and study to get there. In the South it is not well to have Negro postmasters, for the people do not want it. There is no objection to Negroes in the carrier service, nor in the railway mail service, and it is well to stay in the lines that do not provoke friction. Southern white men do not study to get in the mail service, and yet it is an honorable service, and the pay is good. There is no reason why a man who is willing to start at $50 a month should not carry the mail till he can get $1,000 and more. It does require study and persistence, and the Negroes are working to get the places, and they are getting them. The postmasters are another thing,—Birmingham Ledger.

Senator Guggenheim has offered an amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill to increase the wages of laborers in the Postoffice Department. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that an admitted trust, organized contrary to the Sherman anti-trust law, cannot use the courts to collect debts. Despite opposition led by Mondell of Wyoming and Cook of Colorado, the appropriation of $4,646,000 for the forest service, for the coming fiscal year was voted in the House. Congressional leaders have informed President Roosevelt that owing to opposition in the Senate there is little chance of statehood for Arizona and New Mexico this session. The appeal of the government in the Mason-Vanderweide murder case in western Colorado has been set for hearing in the United States Supreme Court March 1st. Representative Mondell has entered a protest with the secretary of the interior against the high price which the geological survey has placed upon public coal lands.

Senator Guggenheim proposed an amendment to the Indian bill to appropriate $40,400 to continue the Fort Lewis Indian school another year. He will endeavor to have his bill to transfer this school to the state of Colorado passed by the House, a bill having already passed the Senate. It would take a year to have the transfer made, should it be authorized, and Senator Guggenheim hopes to secure an appropriation to keep the school open meantime. The House passed Delegate Andrews' bill extending the time from March 4, 1909, to March 4, 1910, for filling with the surveyor general private land claims, provided the extension shall not apply to lands included within the limits of confirmed grants. Senator Teller has presented in the Senate a memorial of the Colorado Legislature favoring legislation to create a Civil War officers' annuity roll and pay surviving officers of the volunteer army half the pay of the highest rank held by them during the Civil War. WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE NOW IN SESSION AT DENVER Joint Invitation to Pinchot. The joint resolution presented by Senator De Long inviting Gifford Pichot, national forester, to address a joint session of the House and Senate was adopted in the Senate by a vote of 25 to 9. In the discussion Senator De Long defended the policies and methods of Pinchot, declaring that he believed the people of the state were with Pinchot, and that it was the corporations and the big cattlemen that were opposed to him. "The corporations can take care of themselves," said Senator Wood. "In my district, it is the widows, the orphans and the old soldiers, the people who have been driven from pillar to post by this man Pinchot, who are against him." "If that is true, then this body should certainly ask Pinchot to come here and hear these charges," replied Senator De Long. "He should be brought face to face with his accusers. The governor should invite the men who are most familiar with forestry affairs in Colorado to confront Pinchot, lay before him their grievances and demand redress." "I shall gladly vote for your resolution," said Senator Wood. "If Pinchot will come here and answer all the questions that the people are eager to put to him, we will do nothing else at this session." Senator DeLong entered into a long and elaborate defense of the national forestry service, but he admitted that it had adopted some rules and regulations that were unjust, and he argued that it would be far better to tell Pinchot of such injustice than to spend thousands of dollars in the prosecution of a lawsuit which would probably be thrown out of court. Senator Ehrhardt, replying to Senator De Long, told of a case in Chaffee county where prospectors who had been working for fifteen years on a mining claim were required to prove that it was a mineral claim. A forest ranger reported to the contrary, and it was not until after they had spent two years and more than $300 that they were able to get their application for patent passed over the objections of the Pinchot bureau. Senator Napier moved an amendment to Senator De Long's resolution, so that the invitation to Pinchot should be for his appearance before the forestry committees of the Senate and House in joint session, instead of before a joint session of the entire Houses. Senator O'Connell objected to the state's humiliating itself by asking any man to modify arbitrary, unreasonable and unlawful rules. He believed it would be far better first to go into court and fight Pinchot to a finish. "If Pinchot should win, I want to emigrate to some country where they never make any pretentions to liberty or freedom," he added. Senator Napier's proposed amendment was defeated by a vote of 24 to 9, after which the resolution was adopted. Action on Senate Rules Senator Scott led the opposition to the report of the Senate committete on rules, declaring that throughout its provisions there was apparent a single purpose—to prevent the Senate from transacting any business except that satisfactory to Senator Adams, the chairman of the committee on rules, and his coterie. Senator Adams supported the rules at every point, but not until he had been compelled to submit to a roll call on every proposed change was he able to get the report adopted, and then it had been amended. The new rule to require the votes of a majority of all members-elect to make a bill a special order, instead of a majority of a quorum, was adopted by a vote of twenty-five to eight. Then by a vote or eighteen to fifteen, there was adopted a proviso attached to the same rule, providing that the rule might be suspended by a two-thirds vote. Senator Adams' proposal that a new committee, on medical affairs and public health, be created, was struck out by a vote of eighteen to fifteen, and then the Senate struck a blow at Senator Adams' prerogatives by refusing to adopt the proposed change in the rules that would have deprived the Senate of its right to name the chairman of the committee of the whole. The proposed amendment was defeated by a vote of twenty to thirteen. The "Goebel rule," imported from Kentucky six years ago, designed to prohibit debate on a report on a contest of a senator's seat or the transaction of any other business or adjournment until after such report has been finally disposed of, was struck out by a vote of twenty-six to seven. Adoption of a rule requiring a two-thirds vote to suspend a rule, instead of a majority, as in the past, was secured by a vote of twenty-three to ten. Incompetent Clerks. Speaker Lubers of the House is troubled with complaints from the committees to which incompetent clerks have been assigned. When called upon for a report Mr. Howell, chairman of the committee on House employees, said that he had tried his best to get those who stood for these clerk to get them to resign, but without result. His report had been delayed in the hope of making some arrangement without bringing the matter on the floor of the house, thus creating scandal and humiliating the clerks involved Militia Bill Considered. The morning session of the House Monday was taken up with the second reading of H. B. 17, Strickland, to provide that the rules governing the state militia shall be the same as those of the national government, as provided in the Dick iaw. According to that enactment the national government will give aid to the national guard in those states only that make the organization of the state guard conform to that of the regular army. The action was taken so that, in case of war when the state guard shall be called upon to take the field, no reorganization will be necessary. Troops may then simply step into the place assigned them. No general objection was made to the bill, members merely trying to so amend it that nothing would be overlooked. Some of the labor men could not overlook the opportunity to express their disapproval of the guard as a whole, and especially of the part of the present law which gives the governor the right to call out the guard in cases of emergency. Mr. Metz of Pueblo, referred to the troubles at Colorado City and Cripple Creek several years ago, asserting that the governors at those times had misused the powers placed in their hands. Mr. Hurd of Boulder, said he was in favor of law and order, but believed it could be better maintained without the miliath than with it. "Some day it may give a lot of you free rides out of the state." He added, "You may tell Teddy the First that we don't want bis $37,000 a year, if that is the object of this bill to get that." Mr. Bellesfield sought to have the salary of the adjutant general set at $1,800, the present figure, instead of the $2,400 provided in the bill, a motion that was lost. Mr. Bellesfield also made some strong comments on the use of the guard by past governors, holding that it had been hired to men with plenty of money. The bill prevented the appointment of old G. A. R. men as adjutant general but an amendment was adopted so that any person serving one year as a commissioned officer in either the United States army or the Colorado national guard may hold the office. Bill to Control Smelting. Deeming unnecessary the adoption of a constitutional amendment proposed in a bill by Senator O'Connell to give the Legislature authority to regulate the smelting business in Colorado, Senator Casaday introduced a bill to regulate and control all smelters, mills and similar plants for the treatment of ores as is exercised by the Interstate Commerce Commission over the railways of the country. Senator O'Connell and his advisers deem it necessary to have embodied in the constitution a declaration that all plants devoted to the treatment of ores shall be considered as affected with a public interest and devoted to a public use, but Senator Casaday believes that a declaration to this effect by the legislature is sufficient, and his bill so declares, further adding that every person or corporation engaged in the treatment of ores shall be deemed a public servant. It is provided that no contract for the purchase or treatment of ore shall become effective until a net purchase price of such ore shall have been agreed upon between seller and buyer. If no agreement can be reached, then the smelting company must return to the seller the ore offered, and for failure to do so, the company shall forfeit twice the value of the ore. Mixing of ores to destroy the identity of any ore is punishable by a fine or from $100 to $5,000, or to imprisonment for one year, or both. The bill provides for the creation of the office of a state assayer, the appointee to be one of three men recommended to the governor by the faculty of the School of Mines. The state assayer shall make all assays requested of him, at reasonable charges fixed in the bill, nd keep complete records of the business transacted by his office. His salary is fixed at $3,600. The state assayer shall be a member of a board of three to be known as the Colorado Ores Commission. The commission is to have general supervision and control over all oretreating plants in the state. The commission shall require the posting in public places at every plant of schedules of prices for the treatment of ores, and no charge shall be made in such schedules until at least ten days' notice thereof shall have been given. The commission is to have power to compare changes in rates. Special provisions are made against rebating and for the refunding of illegal or discriminatory charges. Every concern coming within the provisions of the lay must be filed with the ores commission at stated periods, full reports of all its transactions. Medical School Bill Stephens' bill for a constitutional amendment to permit the State University at Boulder to conduct the last two years of its medical course in Denver, passed the House on third reading. This is the measure fought by the Denver University for years and bitterly opposed at the last session of the General Assembly by Governor Buchtel. As the Senate has passed a like measure, the matter undoubtedly will be submitted to the people at the next general election. "Have your poems been read by many people?" "Certainly—about twenty publishers that I know of." CHILD HAD SIXTY BOILS, And Suffered Annually with a Red Scald-Like Humor on Her Head. Troubles Cured by Cuticura. "When my little Vivian was about six months old her head broke out in boils. She had about sixty in all and I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment which cured her entirely. Some time later a humor broke out behind her ears and spread up on to her head until it was nearly half covered. The humor looked like a scald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid coming from it. This occurred every spring. I always used Cuticura Soap and Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out it became so bad that I was discouraged. But I continued the use of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent until she was well and has never troubled in the last two years. Mrs. M. A.

They were after cooons and possums, but the only trail the dogs struck was one which made them put their tails between their legs and turn for home. "Just what does a polecat look like?" Mr. Thomas asked one of his negro guides. "A polecat, boss? Why, a polecat's somefin' like a kitten, only prettier. Yes, a polecat's a heap prettier'n a kitten, ain't it, Sam?" he said turning to another negro for corroboration. Sam did not seem so sure. He hesitated a moment. "Well," he replied, scratching his wool, "it's always been mah contentt dat handsome is as handsome does."—Atlanta Journal. Not Afraid of a Ghost. In a village in England, a month or so ago, a man came running into an inn at nine o'clock at night and cried out that there was a ghost in his back yard. There were 14 men in the inn, and not one of them dared to go home with the man and investigate. There was a person who dared, however, and that was the landlord's daughter, a girl of 14. Some of the men followed her at a distance, and she wont into the yard and up to the ghost flapping its arms about, and discovered—what? That it was no more nor less than a man's white shirt flapping on the clothes line in a strong breeze. That's about the way all ghosts turn out. But Soon.

There is a certain element in the cereals, wheat, barley, etc., which is grown there by nature for food to brain and nerve tissue. This is the phosphate of potash, of which Grape-Nuts food contains a large proportion. In making this food all the food elements in the two cereals, wheat and barley, are retained. That is why so many heretofore nervous and run down people find in Grape-Nuts a true nerve and brain food. "I can say that Grape-Nuts food has done much for me as a nerve renewer," writes a Wis. bride. "A few years ago, before my marriage, I was a bookkeeper in a large firm. I became so nervous toward the end of each week that it seemed I must give up my position, which I could not afford to do. "Mother purchased some Grape-Nuts and we found it not only delicious but I noticed from day to day that I was improving until I finally realized I was not nervous any more. "I have recommended it to friends as a brain and nerve food, never having found its equal. I owe much to Grape-Nuts as it saved me from a nervous collapse, and enabled me to retain my position."

NATION’S MEN OF WORTH IN TRIBUTE TO ABRA- HAM LINCOLN, PRESIDENT MAKES ADDRESS Qualities and Deeds of the Great Pres- ident Set Forth by the Chief Exec- utive in Impressive Speech—im- mense Concourse Gathered to Wit- ness Exercises in Connection with Laying of Corner Stone of Memo- rial Haji. Hodgenville, Ky.—The corner stone of the splendid memorial to be erected to the memory of Abraham Lincoln ‘was laid by President Roosevelt. The exercises were participated in by many of the nation’s leading men, Cardinal Gibbons and ex-Goy. Folk of Missouri being among those who made ad- dresses. From all points, by train and over roads not particularly smooth, at this season of the year, the people gathered to the exercises. A building four times the size of the tent provided could not have accommodated the crowd. The corner stone of the Memorial hall was laid by President Roosevelt. In an impressive address the chief ex- ecutive eulogized the life and work of the great statesman. He spoke as fol- lows: “We have met here to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of one of the two greatest Americans: of one of the two or three greatest men of the nineteenth century; of one of the &reatest men in the world's history. ‘This Tail splitter, this boy who passed his un- xainly youth in the dire poverty of the Poorest of the frontier folk, whose rise was by weary and painful labor, lived to Jead his people through the " burning Hames of a struggle from which the na- tion emerged, purified as by fire, born anew to @ loftier life. After long years of iron effort, and of failure that came More often than victory, he at last rose to the leadership of the republic at the moment when that leadership had become the stupendous world-task of the time. He grew to know greatness, but never use, Success came to him, but never happiness, save that which springs from doing weil a painful and a vital task Power was his, but not pleasure. ‘The furrows deepened on his brow, but his eves were undimmed by elther hate or fear. His gaunt shoulders were bowed. Dut his steel thews never faltered as he Dore for a Burden the destinies of his people. His great and tender heart shrank from giving pain; and the task allotted him was to pour out like water the llfe-biood of the young men, and to feel In his every fiber the sorrow of the wafnien. Disaster saddened but never dis- meh im. Aa ‘the red. years of War went by they found him ever doing his duty in the present, even facing the fu- ture with fearless front, high of heart, and dauntless of soul. Unbroken by ha- tred. unshaken by scorn, he worked and suffered for the people. ‘Triumph was his at the last; and barely had he tasted it before murder found him, and the kind- ly, patient, fearless eyes were closed for- Washington and Lincoin. “Am a people we are indeed beyond measure fortunate in the characters of tle two greatest of our public men, Washington and Lincoln, Widely. though they differed in externals, the Virginia landed gentleman and the Kentucky backwoodsman, they were alike In es- ‘eentlalz, theyiiwere dike Inthe great ABRAHAM LINCOLN ee SS ee, yx ees .\\ oy iy x | Nh ee ae Se ‘i ate Cal? an a i Tey), (Nina a | I | q ee ba ee | | i I; Sy MM Wee All|) ROIS a a : \ WEP epee eenn Ny, Born February 12, 1809 DI BARA D OCA AT render service to his nation and to all Mankind such as no other man of iils Keneration could or did render.

Wide- ly though the problems of to-day differ from the problems set for solution to Washington when he founded this nation, to Lincoln when he saved it and freed the slave, yet the qualities they showed in meeting these problems are exactly the same as those we should show in doing our work to-day. Lincoln's Deep Foresight. “Lincoln saw into the future with the prophetic imagination usually vouchsafed only to the poet and the seer. He had in him all the lft toward greatness of the visionary, without any of the vision- ary's fanaticism or egotism, without any of the visionary’s narrow Jealousy of the practical man and inability to strive in practical fashion for the realization of i C ie a SS Uy Ee CN on S_ PN ae gicies od y Ree 4 Pe Sai SE ————————— < Sed ee NG = 4) Kea ASE —— R's Nea “ Sa = » Sonera) SRN t Fy i - res eal is eres. marr roe ages OLA | eae CSO 9 7 fae ill Lt gO ~ WR es % = me ERB RS CS ene gs t tt hf be sy ae ee ff fer ¢ pg cm Pit yy Feuni <a fe.

No more practical man ever lived than this homely backwoods idealist; but he had nothing in common with those practical men whose consciences are warped until they fail to distinguish between good and evil, fail to understand that strength, ability, shrewdness, whether in the world of business or of polities, only serve to make their possessor a more noxious, a more evil member of the community, if they are not guided and controlled by a fine and high moral sense. Lessons from Lincoln's Life. “We of this day must try to solve many social and Industrial problems, requiring to an especial degree the combination of indomitable resolution with cool-headed sanity. We can profit by the way In which Lincoln used both. these traits ax he strove for reform, We can learn much of value from the very Attacks which following that course Died April 15, 1865 brought upon his head, attacks alike by the extremists of revolution and by the extremists of reaction. He never way- fred in devotion to his principles, in his fove for the union, and in his” abhor- rence of slavery. Timid and lukewarm people were always denouncing him be- Cause he was extreme; but as a matter of fact he never went to extremes, he Worked step by step: and because of this the extremists hated and denounced him with a fervor which now seems to us fan- fastic In its deification of the unreal and the Impossible. At the very time when one side was holding him up as the apostle of social revolution because he was against slavery, the leading abo- Utionist denounced Nim as the “slave hound of Illinois,” When he was the sec- ond time candidate for president, the ma~ Jority of his opponents attacked him be- cause of what they termed his extreme radicalism, while a minority threatened to bolt his nomination because he was not radical enough. He had continually to check those who wished to go forward too fast, at the very time that he over- rode the opposition of those who wished not to go forward at all. The goal was never dim before his vision; but he picked his way cautiously, without either halt or hurry, as he strode toward {t, through such @ morass of diMculty that no man of less courage would have attempted it, while it would surely have overwhelmed any man of judgment less serene. Man of Great Toleration. “Yet, perhaps the most wonderful thing of all, and, from the standpoint of the American of to-day and of the future, the most vitally Important, was the extraordinary way in which Lincoln could fight vallantly against what he deemed wrong, and yet preserve undi- minished his love and respect for the brother from whom hé differed. In. the hour of a triumph that would — have turned any weaker man’s head, in_ the heat of a struggle which spurred many a good man to dreadful vindictiveness, he sald truthfully that so long as he had been in his office he had never willingly planted a thorn in any man's bosom, and besought his supporters to study the incidents of the trial through which they were passing as philosophy from which to learn wisdom and not as wrongs to be avenged: ending with the solemn exhorta- tion that, as the strife was over, all should reunite in a common effort to save their common country, Strong Sense of Justice. “He lived in days that were great and terrible, when brother fought against brother for what each sincerely deemed to be the right. In a contest so. grim the strong men who alone can carry It through tre rarely able to do justice to the deep convictions of those with whom they grapple in mortal strife, At such times men see through a glass dark- ly; to only the rarest and loftiest spirits is vouchsafed that clear vision which gradually comes to all, even to the lesser, as the struggle fades Into distance, and wounds are forgotten, and peace creeps Duck to the hearts that were hurt, But Lincoln was given this supreme viston He did not hate the man from whom he differed. Weakness wax as foreign as wicked to his strong, gentle nature; but his courage was of a quality so high that it needed no bolstering of dark pas- sion. He saw clearly that the same high qualities, the same courage, and willingness for self-saerifee, and devo- tion to the right ax it was given them to see the right, belonged both to the men of the north and to the men of the south, As the years roll by, and as all of us, Wherever we dwell, grow to feel an equal pride in the valor and. selt-devo- tion, alike of the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray, so this whole nation will grow to fer 1 peculiar sense of pride in the mightiest of the mighty men who mastered the mighty days: the lover of his country and of all mankind: the man whose blood was shed for the union of his people, and for the freedom ot!s rade: Abraliam Ltncoln.” Bishop Butler's Generosity. So many examples of episcopal ct- pidity have been cited in the Office Window of late that the average read- er may be excused for believing the bishop of a century or so ago to have been an incarnation of greed. But against the Luxmores, the Watsons and the Porteouses may be set the saintly Butler, whose “Analogy” {s still used as a text-book for clerieal exam: inations. Butler kept open house at Durham, where he dispensed _hospi- tality with a lavish hand. On one oc- casion a man called at the palace so- liciting a subscription for some chari- table object. “How much money is there in the house?” asked Butler of his secretary. The secretary, after in- vestigation, replied that there were £500. “Give it to him, then,” replied the philosopher bishop, “for it is a shame that a bishop should have so much.”—London Chronicle. ‘Saqaseen thn vant iitees A counterpart of Poo-Bah has been found in New Jersey.

Venver.—Expectations of years for the Intensive cultivation of arid land within Denver and in the immediate vicinity of the eity which led to the construction of the High Line diteh, were practically realized yesterday says the Repuvtican of Sunday morn- ing in the sale of that ‘canal by the Platie Land Company to the Antero & Lost Park Reservoir Company. Since its completion twenty-five years ago, the canal had not been supplied with sufficent water to meet the demands of the owners of land along its course. As the result of yesterday's transac- tion the reservoirs of the purchasing company will supply all the long needed water to the farmers in its territory. In the annals of Denver the ditch has become historic beeause of the hopes which many men held for the benefit it would bring to the eity, for the im- mensity of the task at the early date of its beginning in the completion of its eighty-five miles’ length, and for the controversies which have since arisen regarding it That the supplying of the ditch with water will meet the wants of many has been well illustrated in recent summers by the agitation, which farm: ers east and south of Denver have raised concerning their lack of ade- quate irrigation facilities, And with the two large reservoirs of the pur- chasers as a source of canal will eas- uy furnish the necessary water for the cultivation of 50,000 acres of land. All of this property is but a few miles from the city and is owned in both large and small tracts, Receiving the full benefits of the ditch, the farmers will undoubtedly be enabled to raise as good crops of their kind as are pro- duced in the state. In other words the immediate territory about Denver will in all probability be transformed into as rich an agriculture region as that surrorinding Greeley and other so ern Colorado towns at present, a verit- able garden spot. President H. G. Clark of the Antero & Lost Park Reservoir Company, esti- mates that within three years pota- toes and beets will be grown under the diteh as profitably as under any ditches in northern Colorado, Since last May the Antero & Lost Park Reservoir Company has been con- structing the Antero reservoir in South Park, Work on the dam of this reser- voir has been temporarily delayed be- cause of the cold weather, but will be resumed as soon as possible in order that the entire labor may be finished by the first of June. Puring the com- ing Season alone the company will be able, it is said, to store in this reser- volr over 1,000,000,000 cuble feet of water, At extreme high water line the capacity will be about $80,000 acre feet. ‘The company also owns the Lost Park site on Goose ereek, a tributary of the South Platte, and it is their in- tention to begin the construction of the outlet of this natural reservoir during the coming season after the Lake An- {ero reservoir has been completed. The Lost Park reservoir has a capacity of between 25,000 and 50,000 acre feet and requires only the building of a discharge gate to its natural outlet tunnel. ‘The transaction yesterday was com- pleted by S. J. Gilmore for the Platte Land Company and the officers of the reservoir company who were author- ized by the directors to make the pur- chase. The officials of the Antero & Lost Park Reservoir Company follow: H, G. Clark, president; D. C. Wyatt, vice president; William Mayher, vice president; P. W, Allen, treasurer; Ar- thur D, Wall secretary, and George A. Sturbird, engineer. Others who are connected with the company as mem- bers of the board of directors or in otler capacities are: E, J. Reithman, J. ©. Mosher of Greeley, C. F. Tew and S.J. Peary. Those who form the com pauy are all Colorado people, live prin- cipally in Denver and Greeley and haye been Interested widely in other sim- ilar projects. P, W, Allen, the treas- urer, is treasurer of Weld county ‘The late Abner B. McKinley, up to the time of his death, was working to bring about the purchase of the Antero & Lost Park reservoir sites by the High Line Company, but the reverse has now taken place. OPI Te ba Denwoce Ganon et: Officers of the Crags & Canon Rail way Company, which proposes to build a broad gauge line from Boulder to Crags on the Moffat road, by the way of Eldorado Springs, state that the pro- ject has practically been financed and that construction will commence at an early day. That over $100,000 worth of frult trees will be planted in Pueblo county this spring is the estimate made by Horticultural Inspector J. N. Bartels. Most of these will be cherry, with some apple, pear and peach.

It would seem, if reference is had to the amount of interest we manifest in him, in his life-work in the present day. Twenty years ago it was a valued privilege for any intelligent Negro to sit and listen to the tales and experiences related by the late H. O. Wagoner, a Denver pioneer. He was a friend and companion of Douglass in those days before the war when the latter was the most prominent Negro abolitionist in the nation, and was campaigning through the North in conjunction with late men of radical, abolition views, urging upon the attention of the nation the wrongs of slavery. For more than twenty years after theancipation of the slaves, Douglass continued to be a grand figure because this country, championing the cause of the Negro more eloquently than any other man. But when his silver tongue was forever stillened and his keen brain no longer throbbed with the thoughts of a sensitive soul, his race mourned him for a brief season and then turned their ever gaze to the horizon, looking for his successor. The American Negro's life thus far has been such a needful one and the present has always been so full of uncertain experiment and dreadful groping that seldom pauses to look back over the course that he has traveled, for sitting all too easily the steps he has climbed, and the architects who built them, in his eagerness to get further on. So we have had no careful biographers or commentators to paint the pictures of the great abolitionist, in books, in stories, in songs, such as would lay hold upon our hearts and memories. Better for Douglass' memory, and worse for us, had he led an insurrection and an early martyr. For it is true that the present generation knows little about him, and that the Negro people, as a whole, do not remember and honor him to a degree commensurate with the service he performed for the lasting benefit of his race. IS the Negro race forgetting Frederick Douglass? It would seem so, if reference is had to the amount of interest we manifest in him and his life-work in the present day. Twenty years ago it was a valued privilege for any intelligent Negro to sit and listen to the tales and experiences related by the late H. O. Wagoner, a Denver pioneer, who was a friend and companion of Douglass in those days before the war when the latter was the most prominent Negro abolitionist in the Union, and was campaigning through the North in conjunction with white men of radical, abolition views, urging upon the attention of the nation the wrongs of slavery. For more than twenty years after the emancipation of the slaves, Douglass continued to be a grand figure before this country, championing the cause of the Negro more eloquently than any other man. But when his silver tongue was forever stilled and his keen brain no longer throbbed with the thoughts of a sensitive soul, his race mourned him for a brief season and then turned their eager gaze to the horizon, looking for his successor. The American Negro's life thus far has been such a needful one and the present has always been so full of uncertain experiment and dreadful groping that he seldom pauses to look back over the course that he has traveled, forgetting all too easily the steps he has climbed, and the architects who built them, in his eagerness to get further on. So we have had no careful biographers or commentators to paint true pictures of the great abolitionist, in books, in stories, in songs, such as would lay hold upon our hearts and memories. Better for Douglass' memory, and worse for us, had he led an insurrection and died an early martyr. For it is true that the present generation knows too little about him, and that the Negro people, as a whole, do not remember and honor him to a degree commensurate with the service he performed for the lasting benefit of his race. ABRAHAM LINCOLN MORE AND MORE, each year, this nation honors the name of Abraham Lincoln. As the nation looms out upon the panoramic canvass of the world, every thought of its greatness is coupled with a thought of the martyred President, who was its preserver. It is natural for men to honor most those who have lived within the memory of a living generation, for the ties of relationship seem nearer and stronger; soILE we say that the name of Washington is revered by Americans love all others, deeper, stronger feelings swell our hearts at the utterance of the name of Lincoln. His compatriots are still among us; his soldiers still hold their reunions and make their joyous, but enfeeble MORE AND MORE, each year, this nation honors the name of Abraham Lincoln. As the nation looms out upon the panoramic canvas of the world, every thought of its greatness is coupled with a thought of the martyred President, who was its preserver. It is natural for men to honor most those who have lived within the memory of a living generation, for the ties of relationship seem nearer and stronger; so, while we say that the name of Washington is revered by Americans above all others, deeper, stronger feelings swell our hearts at the utterance of the name of Lincoln. His compatriots are still among us; his soldiers still hold their reunions and make their joyous, but enfeebled marches along our streets. But the growth and the greatness of the Union which he saved is the foundation of Lincoln's increasing memorial. Though he was appreciated and honored at the time of his death, it is easier now for all men to realize the extent of his greatness and worth. This year brings us the one hundredth anniversary of his birth, and from the child in the school-room to the statesman at the nation's capital, and from the student at his desk to the countryman at his primitive labors, our citizens are delving deeper into the details of his wonderful life. His critics are dead; his admirers are a united citizenry. For the name of Lincoln holds some inspiration for every citizen who knows anything of our nation's history. The Civil War was the inevitable result of the early folly of Americans who, in a spirit of selfish commercial greed, delved into practices and customs radically inconsistent with the fundamental principles of the government which they had established. The progress of the world finally demanded the eradication of that folly, and the combatants of the Civil War were, upon the one side, those who yielded to that demand for their country's good, and, upon the other side, those who opposed it, to extend the false fabrics on which their commercial being was based. It was necessary for the salvation of the United States that slavery should be rooted out and abolished. The slave himself was but the innocent circumstance through which the dreadful condition was realized. It was not for him alone, but for the country and the world that the war was fought. The enormity of the conflict was measured by the direful sacrifice of life and property which it entailed. Yet it could not be escaped. As Lincoln said near its close, "If God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bonsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be paid by another drawn by the sword, as was said 3,000 years ago, so still it must be said: 'The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.'" And throughout his unparalleled conflict Abraham Lincoln was the guide, the central and commanding figure, and his mighty task was matchlessly accomplished. It used to be considered that he was the Negro's special saviour; but appreciation of him has taken on a larger and more righteous growth. White men, black men and men of all races, nationalities and lineage, who are Americans, and all men who love liberty, the world over, now equally revere him as one who led a glutted nation away from its blackest sin. Delicate Task in Closing Contracts with Them By OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN Grand Opera Manager. Securing contracts with singers is one of the real worries of the director of grand opera, and it is here that his personality and his musical temperament count. If a Morgan or a Frick, with boundless wealth, were to try to engage a singer and he lacked those traits his money would count for naught. It may be hypnotism with me, though I have music running all through me. I can play the piano, violin and flute, and I studied harmony at the Conservatory of Music in Liepzig. J. Great artists are great ladies and gentlemen, and are able to associate with the finest peopde in the world. They demand that recognition of their merits which rightfully belongs to them, and it is the display of adequate appreciation of their services in the cause of art that enables us to bring them to sing for you. There is no such thing as best voices coming from any particular country, race or climate. In America there are as good voices as abroad. Why, in my chorus at the present time are seven young women who have it in them to become great singers, but they must get out and study, and I have told them so. I would endeavor to secure for them that proper tuition here, but this country is not Europe. There you can really develop a singer with perfect confidence that when the work is finished you will enjoy the benefits thereof, for contracts made there are binding. Some of them are so severe that an artist under contract cannot get married without the consent of the director. Here contracts are too easily broken. Think what it would mean to me to take a young woman and, after years of trouble and expense, bring her up to that point of perfection at which she would be classed as a great artist and her services would be in demand. She, forgetting or disregarding the fact that the small salary she would then be receiving was due to the preliminary expenses which I had undergone in her behalf might become dissatisfied and greedy for higher pay, and if a rival of mine were to offer her more, some excuse would be found to break the contract with me, and then all that I had done would have been thrown away. I suppose the popular belief that the singers with the best voices come from Europe is due to their first being heard of in Europe. This is occasioned by the fact that while in this country there are good vocal and musical instructors, it is only too true that the real masters are in Europe.

I have had the misfortune at one period of my career to have undergone a sentence of penal servitude. The experience is, I know, nothing to be proud of, but it is, at any rate, an experience, and one to which the penologists can lay no claim, and I am sure have no desire to lay any claim. I propose to utilize my experience on the present occasion with a view of contributing in some measure to the solution of what is undoubtedly a grave problem; the existence of a distinct class which lives on and by crime—crimes against property—a profession. Crime as a Profession By H. J. B. MONTGOMERY. The professional criminal who preys upon society has been made such by society. He is a prison product in the first instance, and when he is released from prison society gives him clearly to understand that his place for the future is with his own class—the criminal class. I do not remember during my prison experiences—and I conversed with a large number of avowed professional criminals—coming across a single one who found any pleasure in his calling. As a matter of fact, one and all of them declared they loathed it, and I believe they did loathe it. But while hating their life, they, like men of many other professions, had concluded that there was nothing else for them to do. I am not defending the morality of these men. From an ethical standpoint I cannot defend it. But it is always well to recognize facts The professional criminal who preys upon society has been made such by society. He is a prison product in the first instance, and when he is released from prison society gives him clearly to understand that his place for the future is with his own class—the criminal class.

From an ethical standpoint I cannot defend it. But it is always well to recognize facts, but it is always well however unpalatable, and I think the community ought to recognize the fact that the professional criminal has been evolved into such from what I may term the accidental criminal mainly by the attitude of society toward him on his release from jail. [Illustration of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a suit and tie.] Out of the light of my own experience I declare that men, even criminals, are not so hopeless, so callous, so incorrigible, so devoid of human feelings as the penologists would have us suppose. In every human being there are principles of good and evil, and possibilities of either being evolved. The professional criminal is simply a natural product of a constant evolution of the bad principles because the good ones are still latent, waiting the evolutionary process. By far the easiest way, I would suggest, to abolish the professional criminal is to cease manufacturing him. Women Want Vote, Not Office By MRS. CLARENCE MACKAY. There is a great deal of municipal housekeeping to be done which women can do far better than men. Equal suffrage, the vote for all, is demanded, not so much for the sake of the women as for the sake of the children. Surely laws are made, not only for to-day, but for the future, and nobody will deny that women are fit as guardians and understanders of the children, to legislate for their future. It seems unreasonable to assume that women would stand up and demand the offices for which they are physically unfitted.

The Denver local of the Socialist party desires to put on record its deep sense of loss through the recent death of our comrade, Franklin H. Bryant. He was a man of unusual ability and of great force of character, an honor to the Negro race, and a powerful and eloquent advocate of the Socialist ideal of a human brotherhood rising superior to race prejudice. The vigor of his intelligence and the earnestness of his spirit shone forth the more brightly in contrast with his bodily weakness. For the good cause of Socialism he gladly faced persecution. From the memory of our comrade we shall long receive inspiration. As an organization we feel distinctly weaker by the loss of this able representative of the race that has suffered so seriously under the heartless operation of the present industrial system. We express to his bereaved wife and immediate friends our sincere sympathy and assure them that we share their sorrow. THOS. L. BUIS, O. Q. BECKWORTH, H. W. PINKHAM, JESSE VETTER, LEWIS E. FLOATEN. Committee A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF FRANKLIN H. BRYANT. A great body of the citizens of Denver had fixed their hopes on Franklin H. Bryant. These hopes fired their bosoms, they cheered, invigorated and united them in the political contest; and they seemed to be realized by his elevation. Where are they now? So far as he was concerned, they are entombed with him; and bereaved citizens—male and female,—tearful and trembling, cast a pensive, timorous eye over the period which they deemed him destined to brighten and bless. Behold the melting away of earthly greatness! When we reflect on these events, we are confounded with the various, mighty and rapid vicissitudes in human affairs. We looked upon him in amazement; but while we looked, we saw him grow pale and sink, and gasp, and die. Do crown heads rank high in the circle of human greatness? Much more did he; for it was not the accident of royal birth—it was not the issue of ambition that exalted him. No; it was a nobler cause! The redemption of a coming race. Yes! Franklin H. Bryant is dead!—the bold citizen, the devoted friend and brother, the upright lawyer is dead. But it is his body only that is dead—that which vivified his form, which lit up his eye, which spoke out from his tongue—that which made him what he was—the soul—that is not dead. In the blank silence of the narrow tomb, uom, The spirit of his thought shall walk the earth, In glory and in light. JUDGE THOMAS C. WILLIAMS. PEOPLE SUNDAY ALLIANCE. The People's Sunday Alliance transacted much important business Sunday. The principal feature was the discussion of Mr. S. F. Short's motion offering $12.50 of the $25 to be given the person producing the best working plan for business among Negroes. The money is to be paid the man in starting that business. Mr. Clem's letter received quite a lengthy discussion and many valuable points were brought out concerning the president's right to summarily discharge a soldier in time of peace. Resolutions of respect were past in the memory of Franklin H. Bryant, the deceased at- torney, whose first case is now pending in the Supreme Court of Colorado. Floral offering was presented at the funeral.

Lord Roberts can talk as well as Kaiser Wilhelm, another fighting man. And Lord Roberts talks in the house of lords and not to a newspaper interviewer. "Bobs" call for an army of a million men to defend England from a German army of invasion was a surprisingly flank expression. Great Britain and all Europe will sit up and take notice on being told that the incomparable British navy must stay at home to keep a German army from swooping down upon London and dictating terms. Between the kaiser and Lord Roberts The Hague will have to work overtime to bring about that reduction of armaments. Everybody is waiting for the other fellow to unload. Rattlesnakes. It is commonly believed that the rattlesnake will strike without giving the warning rattle during the hot days of August, at which time their sight is affected. A new joint is formed to the rattle every time the snake sheds its skin. As the reptile sheds its skin oftener than once a year, the number of joints does not represent the age of the rattlesnake. Many joints are lost by accident or wear. Rattlesnakes are entirely confined to the western hemisphere. Influence of the Pessimist.

The Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863. Facsimile of the Original First Version. Centenary of Lincoln's Birth Is Appropriately Remembered by Country of Mason and Dixon's line as north of it. The celebration is worthy to be remembered as an expression of the gratitude and affection of a great people. When we once resolve to lay aside desire to make of Lincoln's life and words an arsenal from which to draw weapons with which to fight for special causes, and consider with quiet thought Abraham Lincoln as all Americans know he was, we find the materials ample. We see Abraham Lincoln as a homely, kindly, patient man, who loved his country as men love their mothers. We see him seeking the welfare of all that mother's sons because he was one of them. We see him working such as no American before, save humbly and patiently under burdens Washington, and none since, has been called upon to bear. We see him always charitable, realizing that in this human world men are moved by all sorts of motives, and appealing to all motives that in honesty and honor he could, asking only that the results of the appeals be acts helping to save and restore to peace the nation mother. And so Abraham Lincoln wrought with the tools at hand, never complaining of their human imperfections, using to his great end not only the noblest aspirations of the best but every force of human desire, and thus delivering a race from bondage and saving a nation because he he ever wrought "with malice toward none and with charity for all." swearing before you. 'By jings' is swearing, for my good old mother taught me that anything that had a 'by' before it was swearing." One day Secretary Seward, who was not renowned as a joker, said that he had been told that a short time before, on a street crossing. Lincoln had been seen to turn out in the mud to allow a colored woman to pass. "Yes," said Lincoln, "it has been the rule of my life that if people would not turn out for me I would turn out for them. Then you avoid collisions." Worthily have the American people jolne in an appropriate celebration of the Lincoln centenary, and extended it to the remotest corners of the land. The 12th of this month is the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. That date is observed with solemn and yet grateful. remotest corners of the land. The 12th of this month is the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. That date is observed with solemn and yet grateful ceremony by the whole American people, who owe more to Lincoln than to any other citizen of the republic, save only Washington. Lincoln is, after Washington, the greatest figure in our national history. No other man performed services so great as his, or was so high a character. His conduct during the trying days of the civil war, when the union that had been founded with high hopes for human liberty seemed destined to be destroyed, was such as to appear inspired by a power greater than human, and many an American has thanked God in his nightly prayers that so wise, gentle, forbearing a leader had been raised up by divine direction to guide the country to safety. His death was a great calamity, not less to the south than to the north; for, if Lincoln had been spared, his qualities of heart and mind would have made the task of reconstruction much easier than it proved and would have healed the wounds of war much sooner. The south will join with the north in observing Lincoln's one hundredth birthday, for now, in these latter days his memory is as deeply beloved south On one occasion President Lincoln, on entering the telegraph office of the war department, writes Mr. Bates in "Lincoln in the Telegraph Office," was heard to remark to Secretary Seward: "By jings, governor, we are here at last!" Turning to him in a reproving manner, Mr. Seward said: "Mr. President, where did you learn that inelegant expression?" Without replying to the secretary Lincoln addressed the telegraph operators, saying: "Young gentlemen, excuse me for ```markdown ``` For a good drink of whisky, A fresh glass of beer All you dry ones please come here. 24th and Larimer Streets.

BY MAJORITY OF FOUR BY MAJORITY OF FOUR MOTION TO RECONSIDER ACTION FINALLY LOST BY TIE Sacramento.—Yielding to the pressure brought to bear by President Roosevelt and Governor Gillett, the California assembly retired from its previous position on the anti-Japanese matter Wednesday by reconsidering the former vote on the segregation of Japanese students in the public schools and finally rejecting the measure by a vote of 41 to 37. An effort by the supporters of the bill to reconsider was lost by a tie vote and the assembly is now clear of any anti-Japanese measure objected to by the national administration. The fight for the suppression of the bill was won only after many hours of heated debate on the floor. The struggle started at 10:30 a. m., on the presentation of a resolution by Assemblyman J. P. Transue, of Los Angeles, affirming the right of the state to govern its schools, but withdrawing the Japanese segregation measure because of the President's objections to it, and lasted until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when Grove L. Johnson's motion further to reconsider was defeated on a tie vote, thirty-eight to thirty-eight. The school bill is still to be considered in the Senate, having been presented there by Senator Caminetti, but there is little chance that the measure will be approved when brought up. "I am highly pleased with the action of the assembly today," said Governor Gillett. "The East has been deeply concerned in the measures pending here, and I feared that if the anti-Japanese legislation were pressed at this time it would have a disastrous effect." Transue's resolution opened the debate and the fight was really made on this measure, the reconsideration motion not being put until there had been a lengthy argument. Johnson repeated his defiance of the President and called upon the assembly to "stand by its guns." He was answered by Transue and Melrose, every phase of the question being reviewed. King Edward at Berlin. Berlin.—King Edward and Queen Alexandra arrived in Berlin Tuesday in fulfillment of a promise made last summer and were warmly welcomed by Emperor William and the people of Berlin. A demonstration by the unemployed, planned to coincide with the arrival of the visiting monarch was only partially successful. Several meetings of the unemployed were held, after which those present formed in two processes and started on a march to the palace, whither King Edward had been escorted by Emperor William. Their progress was intercepted by the police. Several men suffered saber wounds and others were arrested. King Edward and Queen Alexandra received a hearty welcome from the Emperor and the German people. The principal interest centered in the speeches of the Emperor and the King when proposing healths during the course of the gala banquet at the imperial palace. The utterances of both were most cordial, each emphasizing the peaceful sentiments and the close relationship of the two nations. Spectacular Suicide in Denver. Denver.—A plunge from a window on the sixth floor of the Mining Exchange building, Fifteenth and Arapahoe streets, Wednesday ended the life of Miss Violet Brierly of 1236 Clarkson street, twenty-two years old, who sought death because of an unhappy break in a love affair. She lay in intense agony for two hours after her fatal leap. Miss Brierly was well known in society, and was a graduate of Miss Wolcott's school. Miss Brierly was engaged to Clarence M. Wood, twenty-six years old, a student in the State Agricultural College at Fort Collins, a son of A. M. Wood, a jeweler, of 913 Seventeenth street, living at 3383 Haywood street. There had been a break in their relations and Miss Brierly became despondent. Japanese Peril Averted.

The count consumed exactly forty minutes' time. STATE NEWS ITEMS A company is being organized to drill for oil at Fort Morgan, where oil rock is in evidence.

Morrill, deputy forest supervisor of the Pike's Peak forest reserve. A total of $11,395,986.19 is on deposit in the six banks of Colorado Springs, according to the responses to the call of the comptroller of the currency. This makes a better showing than for many years, for a corresponding period. The State Commercial Association has taken up the burden of procuring suitable exhibits from Colorado for the third Trans-Missouri Dry Farming Congress at Cheyenne February 23rd, 24th and 25th. The various commercial organizations of the state are urged to take part in the work. Twenty-one members of the Denver University football team were entertained on the night of the 4th inst. at a banquet at the residence of W. C. Johnston in Colorado Springs. The young men were accompanied each by a lady friend and the party traveled in a special car. Mr. Johnston, who formerly lived near the University in Denver, is a football enthusiast. The Greeley canning factory wants 1,500 acres of peas for the coming season and one half as many acres of cabbage and tomatoes. The needed acreage is being rapidly pledged by farmers and the early crop of peas will be planted from the middle of March to the first of April. Many acres of tomatoes have been pledged in the vicinity of Platteville and Fort Lupton and the cabbage acreage will be easily secured. The Greeley sugar factory, the Model mills and the Greeley starch factory have presented the Greeley Commercial club with an exhibit of their products showing the processes through which the raw materials pass to the finished products. The sugar beets show eighteen processes before it becomes sugar, the potatoes eight processes in the making of starch and wheat requires twenty-three stages before being made into flour. A national park for Pueblo and Custer counties in the Greenhorn mountain range is projected by residents of both counties, who will ask Congress for an appropriation to maintain it. The location is thirty-five miles southwest of Pueblo on the county line. Those who are back of the scheme wish to have Congress set aside the park twelve by fifteen miles. The country has some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in the state. According to plans outlined by the committee on public health and sanitation of the Colorado Springs Charter convention, at a public meeting, not only will every physician be required to include tuberculosis among the list of contagious diseases in his report to be filed with the Health department, but every householder must register all cases of tuberculosis in his household, together with the other prescribed diseases.

Showing the Right Spirit. A little boy had been naughty at dinner, and had been sent away from the table just as his favorite dessert—cabinet pudding with butter and sugar sauce—was being served. About nine o'clock that evening, when the other children had gone to bed and his parents were alone in the sitting room, a tear-stained little face and a white-robed figure appeared at the door. "Mamma," it said, bravely, between sobs, "you told me never to go to sleep when anything wrong had been done until it was all fixed by right, so I came down to tell you that—that—that I—forgive you and papa for what you did to me at the dinner table."

NOT AFFECTED BY DEPRESSION One Big Industry That Makes Its Business Grow and Expand During Year of Business Depression. When a manufacturing establishment reaches out in a year of depression and increases and expands its business, while others in the same line diminish their outputs or stand still, it is because there must be some unusually good reason for it. In this instance a splendid reputation and a more-than-ordinary meritorious product were responsible for the showing made. The Mayer Boot & Shoe Company, Milwaukee, the largest shoe establishment in the Northwest, has just closed its fiscal year, and reports an increase in sales over the corresponding period of last year. This exceptional showing speaks volumes for the genuine merit of Mayer shoes, and is directly attributed to their high standard, and because of the fact that Mayer shoes have become universally and popularly known as "shoes of quality." The leading brands are "Honorblit" fine shoes for men. "Leading Lady" fine shoes for women. "Yerma" Cushion shoes for both men and women (these are exceptionally fine shoes for people troubled with tender feet); the popular "Martha Washington" Comfort shoes, which have the largest sale of any shoes of this kind in the world, and the "Special Merit" School shoes (a strong and sturdy line of seamless school shoes that wear like iron).

GLOVES MUST FIT EASILY. Constant Care Necessary for This Es-| One Fashion That Will Be Found sential to Beauty. Never to Change. “When preparing for bed the face should be thoroughly washed with warm water and a good soap or finely ground oatmeal,” says Harper's Bazar, which knows all things. “After this a light massage with cold cream will be soothing and beneficial, followed by a douche of cold water to close the pores, If the cold cream has been rubbed thoroughly into ‘the skin— which is necessary for a dry skin or one dried by the wind and cold—it Is better not to leave any superfluous cream on the skin for the night. Even if the cold water is not used at the end the cream should be wiped off. “The face may be washed in the same way in the morning, with a little less soap and cold cream, but with more cold water at the end to prepare it for the cold air outside. One can: not be too careful about washing the hands carefully before washing the face, or anointing it with cold creams or lotions. ‘The necessity of having an absolutely clean cloth, if a cloth is used, is too frequently overlooked. Bleaches and lotions should be applied to the face and neck with pieces of antiseptic absorbent cotton.” Monk’s Cloth, Just why the name it is difficuit to say, for there is nothing in the basket weave to suggest the cloister more than the hearth. The material is re- eeived with delight by the decorator because of its great width and its ap- pvarance of weight and strength. It {s a rough cotton and flax stuff made tu tan color and two different weaves, fa fine and a coarse basket pattern. Especially suitable for draperies in ‘sassive doorways and also for large eguch and table covers, it will no doubt be a favorite for porch up: holstery. For an improvised rug of home manufacture for the occasional: ty used guest room, monk's cloth is entirely suitable in weight, will lie flat on the floor and is strong enough to stand the ght use in such a room, A Bridal Shower. For a bride-elect who was mar- ried in January her bevy of friends ar- ranged to purchase appropriate ar- ticles, one for each month in her first year. For January there was a good cook book with all verse apropos the need of just such a book in the house- old, February is a good month when & woman Ikes to make fancy work, so the little handkerchief bag was filled with the trifles needed in the work basket. March brought out a fan. Of course April was suggestive of house cleaning, and the kitchen apron, bar of soap and dustpan were very appropriate articles. So these gifts were all cleverly arranged, dnd while there was not an expensive ar- ticle among them, they provided a happy surprise. Velvet Cream. Dissolve half an ounce of isinglass in half a breakfast cup of wine, add the juice of half a large lemon, rub sume lumps of sugar over the lemon peel, and thus sweeten to taste, Then add half a pint of cream, strain the {singlass and wine. Stir the whole well tygether, and put into a mold. It re- quires no boiling after the cream is added, the Isinglass, sugar and wine having been preylously botled _ to- gether. Do not mix the wine and cream together till cold. GLOVES MUST FIT EASILY. One Fashion That Will Be Found Never to Change. Fashions in gloves come and go, but no matter what their length, if gloves do not fit easily, the hands ap- pear short and clumsy. The fingers of the glove should be quite as long as the fingers of the hand. Besides, tight gloves do not last, which is an economical consideration. Refined and thoroughbred Women, never wear gloves too small for them and many insist on a glove large enough to wrinkle, which may be taken off or put on in an instant. Kid gloves wear much longer when they are properly put on the first time. “It is quite a science,” said a charming woman. “The hand should be perfectly clean, dry and cool. Never put on gloves when the hands are moist or too warm.” First push in the four fingers, leav- ing the thumb out and the rest of the glove turned back over the hand, When the fingers are on, thanks to the gentle movements of the other hand, draw on the thumb with great care, placing the elbow on the knee. After this draw back the wrist of the glove and button the second button, continuing this all the way up. ‘Then ‘return to the first button, and you will see how easily it fastens without cracking the kid, which often happens if buttoned first. Besides this the buttonhole will not . be stretched which is of great importance if one wishes the glove to look well as tong as it lasts. Never pull gloves off by the finger tips, but by the wrists. They will thus be turned, wrong side out, and the moisture communicated from the hand be quickly evaporated. When they are dry, put them carefully away in a proper place. Otherwise, they will shrink, split easily, ané be- come useless, FASHIONABLE FREAK. — és CEE (yore =e a = = == ™ ape os \\ a Bi Wis — The New Finger, Watch and the Wrist Watch. Flowers for Coiffure. Not every girl who buys a flower to wear in her hair knows that those made of velvet and of soft rather than vivid tones are infinitely more beeom- ing to the complexion than flowers that have a hard sheen ‘The gold and silver flowers so much used this season are more smart than becoming unless a girl is sure of her color. If she does not wish to have her eyes lose in depth she should see that the roses do not lie close to the face. How to Make Florida Water.

Put two cupfuls of strained honey into a saucepan wiith 12 ounces of powdered sugar; boil slowly for two minutes. Add four ounces of chopped almonds with their skins, and boil for five minutes longer.

This is a great mistake. It the water is to be used for cooking purposes always start with a fresh supply of cold water when you are. about to set the kettle on the stove. Another hint is this: Never draw the water for the tea kettle from the hot water faucet, no matter whether the water in the tank is heated or not. Water from the hot water pipes is never so fresh as that from the cold. ‘Ham bul alana ata nice Melt a tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan and in it put four teaspoon: fuls of finely chopped onion.

Stir till smooth and pour over the steak in the hot _ platter, Serve with potato chips. To Clean Porcelain fubs and Sinks.
