Liberty inspired Washington through
the dark days of the Revolution. When
his valiant troops were hungry, and in
rags and tears, he spoke the kind
heroic words of freedom, and poured
out his soul in prayer to the God of
Heaven. Liberty inspired Lincoln to
pen the words Of emancipation
coin the grandest type of manhood
since the nineteenth century began.
With what comparison can we COM
pare him? We stand entranced and
mystified with his presence-this
gentlest man that ever ruled nation
or a state. Whence his mysterious
power? A motherless lad growing to
manhood amid scenes of poverty and
dlscouragement,-no schools,no books,
no teachers, "How knoweth this man
letters having never learned?" Trained
and disciplined in the school of drudgery
and adversely, he passed into full grown
manhood strong of limb, and powerful in
intellect; and gigantic in the consciousness
OF integrity and moral rectitude.
And in the nations hour of extreme dis
tress he is raised to supreme power to guide
the Ship OF State through the severest
storm in all her history. We cannot ac-
count for this strange being we call Abra-
ham Lincoln.
We can only say of him what the great
poet of the last century said of King Arthur:
he goes"
He lived and moved among his fellow
men; they felt his power and his touch. but
robed in the mantle of Gods mystery he
vanished in tragedy almost is dark as that
tragedy of the Son of God.
He passes to be king among the dead.
And after healing of his grievous wound
He comes again.

rugged prophet of the wilderness who en-
bodied the eternal truth of liberty: who
lifted up his head to the clouds of heaven
to receive commandments from the throne
OF God. and then obeyed them in the midst
OF angry passions, and bloody instructions
in the world of men.

the welfare of humanity. The common
soldier did not know the principle for

dead are understood. They can be ex-

to come. What mean We by the decor

millions might enjoy Gods sunshine

The tomb Of the warrior marks the
starting point of a new age All
things are new. Our hearts beat to
the majestic music of Union and

They are marching by night and by

INSURANCE HOTELS.

One Of the reforms In the life insur-
ance business recommended by Louis
Wundmuller in his article in the cur
rent issue Of the Forum seems to touch
the policy Of getting business by
building hotels or making other build
ing investments in towns or cities that
respond literally to solicitation.
Further disastrous shrinkages, he
says, may be expected unless mana
gers of life insurance companies take
some such timely measure as the fol-
lowing to restore confidence and to at
tract new business:
J.. Sell stocks and securities the val
ues of which fnctuate, investing pro-
ceeds in first mortgages on improved
city realty for two thirds of It's mar
ketable value Savings of the thrifty
should not be exposed to the risk of
speculation.
2. Dispose Of superfluous buildings
acquired in all parts of the world to
advertise business, and invest like
wise. Policy holders care for absolute
safety more than for marble halls.
8. Cut down salaries and other ex-
penses. The measures taken by the
Equitable do not go far enough; re-
tlenchment should be instituted by
every other company which does not
want to become the target of criticism.
Owners of mutual policies are en-
titled to a yearly statement Of the de-
tails and results Of the business in
which they are interested. just as
much as holders Of stock in banks,
railroads and industrials. Managers
who find a disclosure OF these details
distasteful should quit the business.
Hotel building would not appear q
particularly safe form of investment
of policy holders funds. Generally
speaking, the big hotel in the small
town does not pay realty owners the
interest easy to secure on 4 long time
farm loans, or the rate paid on govern
ment bonds. If all the money sunk

"unpER WHICH KING BEzonIAN2"

In the Lyon-O sceola district Mr.. c.
l.. Van Eaton, announcing his candi-
dacy for the legislature, takes course
that should bring him respect, If not
popularity. Mr.. Van Eaton gives his
candidacy we'll defined position when
he says:
81 believe it but fair to the republi-
cans Of the district to state clearly just
where l stand on the questions that are
likely to como before the legislature,
and wish to say that | am in hearty
sympathy with Governor Cummins in
his position on primary election and
anti-pass legislation, and l am opposed
to the railways and other corporations
dominating the politics and acts of the
legislature in this state. And If nom
mated and elected will act with the
party"
Perhaps Mr.. Van Eaton has antag-
onized some voters by his candid an
nouncement of what his candidacy
stands for. Without doubt there are
those in Lyons Oscealo who oppose
primary election and anti-pass laws.
But If he has lost these votes he has
gained their respect. His candidacy
has been Invested of the possibility of
false pretence II Mr.. Van Eaton goes
to the legislature he goes pledged in
advance to do all he can for state
primary law and an anti-pass law. The
voters know what to expect of him.
There is a strong demand, espec-
tally in the more independent dis
tricts Of the state, for just such ex-
preston as Mr.. Van Eaton has given
voice, growing inclination among
the people to ask questions of those
who desire to represent them, and in
sist on an answer. Mr.. Lacey has
gained respect if not support among all
republicans by his plainness of speech
and definition. Senator Dolliver salts
fed demand when he made his po-
sition on rate regulation clear. His was
a virtual promise and the country dis
tricts will expect it's fulfillment.
1t would appear to be common
duty and good politics for
candidates, in Mr.. Van Eaton's
neighborhood and elsewhere, for
other and perhaps more important Of
fees, to make their position as clear.
Up Sioux City way there seems to
be an especial desire for plain state
ments from candidates, present or
prospective. There are several plain
issues before the state and it is only
natural that the voters should feel some
anxiety regarding the attitude of fav-
orite sons toward these questions,
which are to be settled in the immed-
late future. Speak UP, gentlemen. The

to represent wish to know where you

PAT GROVE AS A FiNANCIER.

PAT GROVE AS A FlNANClER.
Pat Grove is telling the officers at
Butte of some of his schemes for his
own financial betterment and the de-
pletion of other peoples pocketbooks,
but which went wrong and failed. One
particular plan was the capture of
John d. Rockefeller to be held for ram
som at the reasonable price of $2,0O0,-
900. Something "queered" the plot and
the Standard Oil magnate saved both
his purse and his person. 1t was a
bold conception and many persons will
be unable to refrain from tinge of
disappointment over it's failure; dis
appointment rooted in a desire to know
how it would have turned out.
Skin for skin,' said the devil on
one occasion, "all that man hath will
he give for his life" Mr.. Rockefeller,
debating terms to the world Of finance,
directing the actions of United States
senators by telegraph, and generally
powerful in the force of his millions, Is
very different figure from Pat Grove.
But Grove, with Rockefeller in his
power, and arbiter of life and death,
would be a vastly different creature.
The probabilities are that Pat would
have got the money. Mr.. Rockefeller
realizes as everyone else knows, that
dead Rockefeller is entirely power
less and considerably contemplate.
Mr.. Rockefeller would prefer to have
his money forcibly separated from him
to being l.orcibly and forever separated
from his money. Assuming that Pat
had managed to get Rockefeller in the
right place, his chance at two millions
would seem almost as certain as All
arbitrary rise in the price of illuminate
ing oil.
Pat Grove, criminal, seems to have
but narrowly escaped being Mr.. Grove,
prince of financiers, and patron of uni
versities;. Disclosure of his kidnapping
scheme uncovers a mine of crude abil-
ity in high finance. The great differ
ence between Pat and his intended vic
tim seems to be more a matter of
method than morality. If Miss Tar
bell is to be accepted as historian and
biographer, Mr.. Rockefeller has been
the Pat Grove of the financial and in
dustrial world, inveigling weaker men
into the alleys of finance and giving
them their choice between ransom or
financial funeral obsequies. 1t is not on
record that any prisoner of his ever
got away except at the price. PITS
plan against Rockefeller was no more
boldly conceived than Rockefeller's
scheme to capture Kansas. Perhaps
had c.. owe succeeded he might have
been liberal to foreign missions Or
aided education with the other mans
money
The difference between Grove and
the oil king is the difference between
highway robbery and high finance, be-
tween the crude. and the finished pro-
duct. Persons who have suffered uu-
der both methods are likely to consider
it distinction rather than a differ
ence. The "hold up fnancier" is up to
date, men like Grove an atavistic re-
turn to the first principles of stone
clubs and physical superiority, as a
means Of getting such things as are
coveted and desired. Properly directed
their energies might have made them
nonopolists, life insurance presidents,
or heads of investment companies.
