L,ncoin's Forgotten Words.


One looks in vain through the speech
of Senator Depew and all the other Re-
publican orators on Lincoln's birthday
for the words of the great president that
are most pertinent to this time and its
main issue. The World reprOduces them
-'lest we forget
"No man is good enough to govern
another man without that others con.
sent. say this is the leading principle,
the sheet anchor of American Republi-
canism"
"When the white man governs himself,
that is self-gOvernment; but when he
governs himself and also governs another
man, that is more than government
that is despotism."
"Our reliance is in the love of liberty
which God has planted in us. Our de-
fence is in the spirit which prizes liberty
as the heritage of all men in all lands,
everywhere. Those who denv freedom
70 others deserve it rot for themselves,
a under Just God cannot long retain
it,"
Thus spoke Lincoln the Emancipator
"a martyr to Liberty. 1t is indeed a
long descent-as Mr.. Bryan says, "a
roboggan slide''-from Lincoln to Me-
Kinley.

The ST. Adams Messenger brings for
ward a sentiment that cannot be too firm
" lodged in the hearts and minds of the
fathers of the young men of Vermont.
1t is for them TO encourage their sons 10
remain at home. They are the ones you
want 10 succeed you and they are the
ones thar Vermont wants 10 keep for lie
own citizens. DO not let them drift
away from their native hills, and exercise
their talents and sturdy manhood in
building up some city or town far away
in the west or south. Give them every
inducement to remain al home. Give
them an interest in your farm or bust
ness. Give them an opportunity to be-
come active factors in municipal affairs
and show them that they need not wait
for gray hairs to gain their recognition.
Teach them to have confidence In them-
selves, and get them so firmly attached
20 the grand old Green Mountains that
they will be glad to keep them in sight
for life time. But above all set them
an example of progress and enterprise
that will make them men of worth and citi-
zens who will adorn any Office which the
confidence and respect of their fellows
may confer upon them.
