LOOKS i LIKE LINCOLN
SENATOR \ c uLLoM, WHO sTRIk-l
INGLY RESEMBLES THE
Martyred President Relates Reminis-
cences OF His Acquaintance with the
Grandest Figure in the Worlds
History-the immortal Lincoln.

RI 4 :
Shelby M. Cullom stood in the door
way of one of the rooms in the Great
Northern hotel which is part of his
sn 'e'st Tall, angular, erect he
stood there, and his likeness to Abra-
nam Lincoln was almost startling.
Senat tor Cullom has been paragraph
ed as the man who looks like Lin
coin Tor many years, and there is
little wonder. He has the same large
features, the prominent nose, the firm
mouth and keen eyes, and even his
hair and beard are trimmed not SO
much in imitation of the martyred
president as in the fashion set at that
time.
Sitting in the bright afternoon
light, Shelby M. Cullom presented a
striking and dignified figure. His hair
and beard are white, but his face is
ruddy and has the warm hue of health.
He seems to bear his years lightly.
His face is sparefrbut not wrinkled.
His hands are long and slim and he
uses them sparingly in gesticulation.
He is eminently man of the Lincoln
type-strong, sturdy, conservative and
OF the old school. Honesty is written
IN every feature ana power in every
hne. His eyes are keen and they read
a mans very soul.
Senator Cullom is an earnest man
apd yet he has sense of humor. He
is serious statesman and yet he loves
a good anecdote. and a pointed story.
And he can tell a story, too, in man
ner to make it interesting. He uses
plain and simple language, with home
ly illustrations and quaint SMILES.
He impresses one. as being absolutely
natural man who has been himself
at all times from the time he followed
the pillow in Tazewell county to this
day, when he. is one of the most con-
splcuous men in the upper body of the
national legislature.
My acquaintance with Lincoln be-
gan when I was a lad starting out in
life" he said, with far-away look in
his eyes.

ARE LYNcHlNGs DECREASING?
SATURDAY AUGUST 4, 1906.

The Chicago Tribune finds matter
for congratulation in the fact that the
number of lynchings seems to be on
the decrease. 1t gives the annexed
summary:
In half dozen cases or more there
would have been lynchings in southern
states during the last week but for
the prompt action of governors in
suppressing mobs and forcing them at
the point of the bayonet to let the
law take its course The statistics of
lynching for the first half of the
year, however, are the best evidences
of it's gradual decadence. During this
period there have been but thirty
lynchings, all of them in the south,
and alb of Negroes but four That
is much smaller number than in
any six months for twenty years
past. 1t looks as if the south were
calling a halt on lynching.
1t is true that several of the south
ern governors deserve some credit for
checking the prevalence of lynching
by the mode of prevention, but the
country is not yet in condition to
give grounds to conclude that there
is much of calling halt in the mat
ter. The only satisfactory proof of
real intention to call halt is the
punishment of the murderers as
murderers, not turning them loose
with a trifing punishment. AIS yet
this has not been done either in the
south or north, but to this must it
come at last.

paid me by a quaint, elderly quakeress
who came to my Office once upon a
time.
CAS- we talked over the matter of
which she had come to see me about
she interrupted me with: Friend
thee somewhat resembles Mr.. Lincoln
1t was after the interview had closed
and she was about to depart that she
took my hand and, gazing at me in
tently, remarked earnestly:
Friend, thee very much resembles
Mr.. Lincoln
Lincoln was my ideal when 1 was
only dozen years of age. He was 80
then. Il remember the first time was
ever in a court room. Lincoln was
there, defending a man charged with
murder. He, was considered great
lawyer even then. He was a master
full man. He had a power with a jury
that was irresistible and his hold on
the public was overpowering.
The funeral honors paid to Lincoln
have seldom been surpassed in grand
eur and perhaps never in popular sor-
row. There was some talk of having
the body buried in the east, but the
people of Illinois would not listen to
this and Shelby NJ. Cullom was a mem
Der of the committee sent on to plead
for the return of the remains to Illi-
nois, and besides him there is but one
other man living who went on that
eventful journey.
1t will be recalled by those who are
familiar with the history of those days
that the body of the dead president
was embalmed and laid in state in the
rotunda OF the capitol April 20. The
following day the funeral train began
its wonderful journey to Springfield,
and over the same route he had travel
ed in first going to Washington. The
remains lay in state in Baltimore.
Harrisburg. Philadelphia, New York,
Albany; Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago
and Springfield and solemn services
were held in each place.
Senator Cullom participated in all
these great scenes of sorrow and says
that the grief expressed everywhere
was something so poignant and so pitt
full that he can never forget it so long
as he lives. Crowds gathered at every
crossing and stood with uncovered
heads as the train passed by. Every
city was the scene of vast, solemn
gatherings as the funeral train pulled
through. The sorrow of the people
had never been surpassed in the world
and perhaps never will be. 1t was
only by taking the body Of the beloved
president on this last journey that the

PRINCIPLES THE PARTY
STRENGTH,

The mistake is frequently made Of
supposing that it is of no use to
organize and maintain a party which
has no hope of electing it's candidates.
Such parties are often ridiculed as
side shows, which amount to just
uothing< at all. But such parties have
been the means of effecting some of
the greatest reforms ever inaugurated
in this country. The old abolition
party was never very strong numer-
ically, yet it revolutionized the
country and overthrow slavery.
The conclusion is that the strength
of political party can not be esti-
mated by the number of it's adher-
ents. Among the elements of it's
strength are the principles it repre-
sents and the policies it advocates.
This is shown by the fact that the
measures which have monopolized the
attention Of the present Congress are
those proposed by the Populists.

people could give vent to their grief
and sorrow and the patriotism Of the
people was stirred as it .neyershad been
before. Going home again, the sor-
rowing men and women determined
to stand by the nation at all hazards
In concluding his "reminiscences of
Lincoln Senator Cullom said: 81

life: | knew him as young lawyer
making bis name here in Illinois. I
knew him as a private citizen and as
q president. l knew him as a candi-
date and as Congressman. knew
him in his home and in the bosom Of
his family: Aud now, after all these
years and after having met many men
and having studied the lives of the
greatest men the world has produced,

in very amusing style:

two minutes will give you to under
stand that he is a southern gentleman

ton will not be long in informing
you that all other brands of gentility
are rank counterfeits.
He will proceed to tell of the great
number of slaves owned by his family
before Lincoln got to working on the
job, and if everything runs along
smoothly with him he will, with as
fine a show of self-importance as you
ever saw, ask you to cash his person
