ever made by President Lincoln is the
one that he delivered at the dedication
of the soldiers monument on the battle.

most quoted from it are the govern
ment Of the people, by the people and
for the people" This phrase was no
doubt an unconscious quotation, for
the same words wero used by Theodore
Parker in. an address to the Anti
Slavery society May -. 1854 Nor was
the phrase original with Parker. Dan
iel Webster in 1890 used the words
the peoples government, made for the
people, made by the people and an

+. Abusing the President win result in
Theodore Roosevelt renouncing his
declaration not to run again and
making the race by way OF vindica-
ton. president Roosevelt is entitled
10 another term and the people are
entitled to renominate him"
Senator LaFollette has tersely
sized IN the situation and has utter
ed truths most convincing. The
people with such attacks win demand
Of the President a remuneration Of
his declaration not to run, and every
logical reasoner knows that Theodore
Roosevelts denomination and re-elee-

cedent. He Is really but serving his
own first term. True. he served a
part OF the Mckinley term. but car
ried ont the Mckinley policies as he
promised and not strictly his own.
But. even If this were his second
term, the great work he has already
accomplished and the great reforms
he has under way demand another
term for him, and, if the Interests"
are to try to undo what he has done
and to prevent furtherance of the
work for the welfare of the people,
the people themselves should take
the matter in hand and see to 1t that
President Roosevelt is re-nominated
and reelected. Every American, be
he Republican, Democrat, Prohi-
bitionist, or what not, who believes
in square deal, should be up in
arms at once to resent the design on
the Roosevelt policies and the best
welfare of the country.
Afr the suggestion made by John
Temple Graves at the Chattanooga
dinner last week, that Mr. Bryan
