IlNCOLN'S ANNINERSARE

Today is the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln, who is proclaimed throughout
The North as the eircat Emancipator
From the Northern view Lincoln stands
as the equal of Washington 1t is true
that through Lincoln four millions OF
slaves held in the South were declared
liberated, but the shackles, as they style
IL in the North, were removed not for
the sake of philanthropy or for any spc-
cial love or admiration for the negro, but
as a policy intended to weaken the
South. The decree Of Liberation was
political; IT was a war measure, facts
which can not be controverted success
fully.
In the North Lincoln is venerated as
a martyr. 1t Is true he rose from pow
erty and want to be President of the
United States, but no Southern man will
point to Lincoln as an example for his
sons. In Washington the teachings OF
patriotism may be taught to the child OF
the South. In Lee and in Southern he
roes, from the creation of this Republic
TO the present day, the South may draw
its inspiration of fealty to the Cinsttu-
ton and love of country.

FEDERAL JUDGESHIP
Two. Gentlemen of Prominence in Louis
lana Mentioned - Governor Blan-
chard and Hon. T. ] Herman of
Baton Rouge.

The Baton Rouge State says With
two distinguished inhabitants of Baton
Rouge mentioned for the Federal Judge
ship to succeed the late and lamented
Judge Parlange, the Capital City seems
10 believe that it has fair show to land
the prize. Governor Blanchard and the
Hon. I. ]. Herman have both been men
toned al length i'll the gossip that in
evitably follows the vacating of place
of such dignity and honor. How much
there is in the report that they will be
considered, ii is Of course impossible to
say. Certainly neither gentleman would
countenance the use of his name so in
decently soon after the death Of a public
official for whom both had great respect
and close personal friendship
However, the friends of both will un-
doubtedly continue to discuss their
availability. and when the time comes il
is more than probable that each will be
considered in the quarter from whence
tilS IiflfSt Collic.
With Judge Herman, his exposition of
the "unwritten law however much thai
exposition may have fixed him in place
of high esteem in this section, and how
ever complete il may have proven his
grasp OF the great human principles that
lie behind all human enactments-it is
is doubtful if it blazed any way to
Federal judgeship.
With Governor Blanchard? Undigni-
fed as the figure is, his position would
necessarily remind one of the ancient
fable of the domestic friend of man that
hesitated between two luscious bales of
hay.
Much as certain elements in Louisiana
differ as TO his administration as Gov
ernor. there is little if any difference in
the high opinion held of his record as
Judge on the Supreme Bench of the
State That record brought the Louis
lana Bar almost unanimously to his sup
port when he ran for Governor Added
to this--Governor Blanchard has behind
him many years of familiarity with Fed
eral procedure, many years acquaint-
ance with Federal laws and matters OF
more than State import The position is
given for life, is safe from the storm
of politics, is dignifed, remunerative,
and on the high-road to GREATER judicial
honors.
Governor Blancharl |, while yielding to
no man in his attachment to the consti-
tutional rights of the States, is avowedly
a strong nationalist, and to him as such,
the Federal judgeship would naturally
appeal.

Colonial Fear Of Lawyers.

In the columns of the New York
Gazetteer of Sept. g. 1856, there was
a paragraph lamenting the increase of
lawyers as threatening to the future
prosperity of the community and de
grading TO freemen. "An honest trade
In former days" said the writer. was
all that people of common ability and
education were ambitious OF, but now
no profession Is genteel but the law
yer and the merchant. The lawyers
are now creeping into every post of
Importance and thrusting themselves
wherever there Is a vacancy. Our con-
gress, our assembly. are crowded with
them. and even In our great CONNER
cial convention there are five lawyers
to one merchant"

Chicago, Feb II. - After writing

effort at Il reconciliation with his wife
and failing would kill her and himself
so as to be with her In death, Anton J.
Vodica, Il machinist, dangerously
wounded his wife and killed himself

prOgresa of DentIatrN.

Though dentistry became n science
under the hand of Professor Richard
Owen as late AZ 1899, there are evi
dences that 1t was practiced In u crude
way by the aneients. Herodotus refers
to treatment OF the teeth by the Egyp-
tians, and evidences Of attempts to
supply artificial teeth have been dis
covered In ancient skulls and mum
mics. Galen was the first physician
to speak of treatment of troublesome
teeth, and Ambrose Pare. In his work
on surgery In 1850, makes mention of
the preservation Of the teeth. 1t Is
only since the middle of the last cen.
fury, however. that dentistry has be-
come branch of surgical science. Be
fore that time bad teeth were extract
ed, and mere tooth drawing CONSTITUTE
ed dentistry early In the nineteenth
century. The first dental school In the
United States was erected at BaIti-
more In 1899. In 1915 Cincinnati boast
cd OF similar institution. and In 1856
dental school was erected at phila.
