Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1898-07-14

Among tho many virtues which we
hold in honor, that of modesty occu-
pies a comparatively small place We
are apt to confound modesty with self
depreciation, which, If sincere, can
only claim compassion, and If insin7
cere, merits contempt. The true idea Of
modesty Is that Of a correct estima-
ton of self; alike opposed to overween-
ing self-eonceit and cringing self-abase-
ment. It is an untloubted fact that
great men are, as a general thing, more
modest than little oIfes. Such men
probably know their own powers more
correctly than others; but they meas
ure them by higher standard. They
have found out how much there is to
learn which they do not yet know;
how much there is to do which they
have not yet done. What is true of in
dividuals is true of nations. National
greatness and national modesty go
hand in hand. In our present grave
crisis we are drawn as individuals into
closer relations than usual with our
country, and we are feeling our one
ness with her in no common degree.
Her prosperity or adversely, her honor
or dishonor, her wisdom or folly. are
pre-eminently ours also. What, then,
shall be our attitude to-day? One of
flippant exultation and self-glorifica-
ton, or one Of faithfulness to truth,
and therefore one Of modesty? By
what standard shall we measure our
nation? That of inferior and weaker
communities, or with the best and
highest ideal which we can conceive Of
a nation, just and upright, noble and
honorable, wise and intelligent, free
and happy in herself, magnanimous
and generous to those beyond her Dor
ders? Shall we love her the less for
knowing her more truly? Shall we
work less energetically for her be-
cause we see how she may be i'm
proved? II we are more modest In her
praise, shall we not be the more anx-
ious for her true honor? There ib a
mistaken notion in many minds as to
what patriotism really demands. It is
supposed that true patriot must al
ways yield to his country an unbound
ed admiration and an unlimited ap-
prevail. He must see no blot upon her
record, no flaw in her actions, no mis-
take IN her Judgment, no selfishness in
her aims. Such an attitude necessar-
lily fosters national vanity, brushes ma
tional modesty, impedes national pro-
gress. The true lover Of his country
knows that she Is human and therefore
fallible; his earnest desire for her is
that she may be purged Of ali base pas
sions and sordid motives, and that she
may continually rise to nobler heights
in everything which constitutes true
national greatness. Not by wholesale
plaudits and exultant boasts shall we
truly honor our country or prove our
but rather by the modesty
which springs from truth, and the
faithful love that longs for her highest
welfare above everything else.

1t is a significant fact that colony
OF English-speaking people, instead Of
abandoning their native tongue and
embracing that, Of their adopted ma
tionality, invariably adhere to their
own language and eventually color that

cant that English is the only language

Most of the other tongues are slowly

England has had a "sailor King
within the recollection Of many of our
older readers. When did the United
States ever have a sailor President?
When, at any time, was a sailor seri-
ously talked of by the politicians and
newspapers for that office? It's really
worth thinking about-this discrimina-
ton against our laureled victors whose
victories are won on the water. Our
wars have made many Presidents. The
Revolution gave the country President
Washington. The War Of 1912 gave it
President Jackson The Indian wars
gave it the first President Harrison.
The Mexican campaign gave it Presi-
dent Taylor. The War for the Union
gave it President Grant. Hayes, Gar
field, Benjamin Harrison, William Nc
kinney were helped toward the White
House by their war records. But every.
man Of them all did his fighting on
land. In the early years Of the repub-
lie, the "stout old Commodores" con-
tributed much more glorious pages to
it's history than tile Generals, and a
good many more of them. Yet which
one Of the Commodores ever got with
in seeing distance of the White House?
Which one of them so much as dreamed
Of casting an ambitious glance in that
direction? Farragut, the Admiral, was
as illustrious a figure as Grant, the
General. He had a far more striking
and picturesque personality. His fame
Is no less immortal. The people Won
dered delightedly at his matchless ex-
ploits. They honored him in their
hearts as he deserved to be honored.
But they never even thought Of maxi
ing him President, nor did he ever
dream that they would. The man who
goes into the American navy for life
bids an everlasting good-by to political
ambition at the waters edge. Why it
should be SO seems inexplicable. That
it is SO cannot be disputed

The Fire Next Door

About 7:30 last Friday morning fire
broke out in the laundry but was soon
extlnguished. The sum of twenty five
dollars VIII cover the damages. Every
thing was fully insured.
The fire started with their gasoline
stove, probably a defective jet was the
real seat of the trouble. Gasoline was
spread over the floor making a large
and ominous flame. Ready hands
rang the fire alarm out before the hose
could be adjusted Jim Huffman and
Andrew Snyder of the fire de-
partment were on hand with q
patent fire extinguisher, and the chemi-
Gals 1t contained soon drowned out
every vestage of flame.
None of the shirts, collars or cuffs
were damaged, but number of wraps
belonging TO the girls employed there
are to be reckOned among the losses.
The Indepe dent, being in close
proximity, desires to extend thanks tC
Chief Kuhn and his men and also tC
the many others who came to the
rescue.

VIII Require Revenue Stamp.

Hon. A. Z. Nowlin, revenue collector
for Indianapolis district, has rendered
a decision that certificates of nomina-
ton for candidates for office when filed
with the county clerk would require the
revenue stamp required by law for all
certificates. This will require 10 cent
stamp for the certificates signed by the
chairman and secretary. Also 10 cent
stamp for each of certificates of the
notary public, which will make three 10
cent stamps for each certificate of nom
ination filed with county clerk.

EDITOR oGLEsBEE.s sOLICITUDE.

EDITOR OGLEsBEE'S SOEICITUDE.
Former Editor Oglesbee has such
a warm spot in his heart for the
Marshall county democracy's future
welfare that he writes column
article to the paper that he still has
a strong string tied to, and urges
the democrats to defeat their party
ticket this year in order to unity
and strengthen it during coming
campaigns.
Such advice coming from our
friend Mr.. Oglesbee is quite joke
Either Mr.. Oglesbee is not in dead
earnest, or else he is willing to sacri-
fee his own party in this county for
all time, for the sake of the present
His talk about bosses making the
democratic ticket only tends to de-
preciate him in the estimation of all
honest and fair minded men. Over
one thousand democrats assembled
here on the day of the convention
and a fair and square ballot was
taken in the open view of all who
were interested. 1t was fair vote
and a fair count. No democrat has
as yet raised any objections and
none will, because it was an honest
expression of the ma ority.
Mr.. Oglesbee, who has been
fighting mosquitoes in southern
climate is the only man who sees
the hands of bosses among the dem
ocrats of Marshall county. 1t is a
long range prospective but as it is
the duty of signal service men to
climb tall trees with dark lanterns
ETC., no doubt Rollo has peeped
from his perch in the southern pines
and sized up the true condition of
things in Marshall county.

There are about 40 patients at the
Camp Mount hospital. The Indi-
annapolis News says that, including
guards and prisoners, there are
about 900 volunteers there. Those
of the I57th regiment find little to
do and time hangs heavily on their
hands. The men of the other two
regiments, however, have plenty to
do in taking down tents and storing
the canvass, together with other
property, until the regiments return
at the end of the so days furlough.
The signal corps men have received
their furloughs, and with the excep-
ton of a few men in the hospital,
the members have gone home.

NO KIND OF A DEMOCRAT

If the fellow in Thursday evenings
News who signed himself "Not a
Ring Democrat" had added that he
is no other kind of a democrat, he
would have been telling the truth,
but no, there seems to be an I'M
governable disposition on the part
of the antedeluvian fossil IN charge
of the columns of that paper, to do
something that will cause readers to
form conclusions different from
what he knows they will do if he
deals honestly and sticks to facts.
If the moral status of this ores
surrected defunct" was not SO
familiar to the people of Marshall
county, he might delude his readers
for season, but even the respect
able republicans of the county take
it that they are in duty and honesty
obliged to apologize for his effu-
sions.
The Independent has no especial
interest in the county contest but it
feels called upon to take hand
when a publication wilfully tries to
deceive the public for the sake of
advancing one mans interests to the
detriment of another. The indie
pendent would be just as severe in
its criticism should the Democrat
attempt to misrepresent the truth
for the sake of Democratic candi-
date. The Independent believes in
putting political enthusiasm to the
rear, rather than to submerge its
self respect by calling upon Its read
ers to hearken to deceitful words
and wanton misrepresentation

Stopped His Own Funeral.

Samuel Petrie, farmer living near
Lowell, who disappeared from his
home month ago and subsequently,
suicide found at the ROby race track
has returned home. He arrived there
just in time to stop arrangements that
were being made for his funeral.
Petrie said that soon after he left
Lowell be was injured and taken to a
hospital for treatment. However, he
has no recollection of it's name or lOca-
ton. In fact, his mind is almost a
blank so far as his experiences during
his disappearance are concerned.

sooner a furlough would not have
been necessary.
There is some intimation that an
other regiment will be required
from Indiana for the government
service for one more year, but the
18TH as a regiment will be mus
tered out and all of the boys who
want to continue in the service may
be given an opportunity to enlist in
a new organization.

WILL BE MUSTERED OFT.

T. l..
There has been considerable
anxiety among the members of the
18th regiment as to whether they
would really be mustered out of the
government service at the end of
their 80 days furlough, or be re-
tanned and sent TO Porto Rico or
Cuba.
The feeling prevails to a great
extent that owing 70 the recent de-
cision of the president to send a
larger force to Cuba and the Philip
pines than was at first intended, he
will revoke his mastering out order
and keep the regiment in the SER
vice. Word comes from Indianap-
oils, however, that Lieut.. Water
man, the regular army officer in
charge of Camp Mount, had re-
ceived an order from Washington to
discharge the soldiers of the 18TH
and I5Sth Indiana regiments as
soon as their furloughs have ex-
pred.
The order in brief is that after all
the government property has been
receipted for and the soldiers have
received all the pay due them, the
mastering officer at the request OF
the soldiers can discharge them on
the spot. Had this order come

INDIANA'S VOTING POPULATION

All the counties of Indiana ex
cept two have been thoroughly can
vassed and the result shows that the
voting population is ,5I4 above
that of 1896. There has been a
gain of I39 precincts. The 1896
returns show 3,I29, while this year
there will be $3.50 precincts. The
gain in voting population has been
considerably greater between 1896
and this year, than between 1894
and 1896, during that period there
being an increase of only 10000
voters.

KOrner Not Likely to Accept.

One of the delegates TO the Popullst
Congressional Convention stated after
the adjournment that he came TO work
for a straight populist nominee for con-
gress because the republicans in his
county had promised to support him for
County Commissioner if he would do
so. This delegate is the populist can
didate for Commissioner of Pulaski
county. He also added that he did not
care whether Korner accepted or not,
that he had done his part and expected
the republicans of his county to keep
their promise.
Doubtless Mr.. Korner will treat this
nomination with contempt when he
learns that be was dragged into the race
by the barter of an over am OitiOus del
egate. The populists generally are of the
conviction that Mr.. Korner will not &C
cept the nomination in the light of the
fact that gold standard republican cor
ruption is what caused his nomination.
