MUCH type of the real American, of
what is best in America, as the other
'fQar.
HheA strains will not continue to
exist separately in this country as in
the OLD world. They will be combined
in one: and of this new type those
men will best represent what is lofti-
est in the nations past, what is finest
in her hops for the future, who stand
each solely on his worth as a man; :;
who scorn to do evil to others, and
refuse to submit to wrongdoing them
selves; who have in them no taint of
weakness; who never fear to fight
when fighting is demanded by a sound
and high morality, but who hope by
their lives to bring ever nearer the
day when justice and peace shall pre-
vail within our own borders and in
our relations with all foreign powers
Much of the usefulness of any car
eer must lie in the impress that it
makes upon and the lessons that it
teaches to, the generations that come
after We of this generation have our
own problems to solve, and the con-
dition of our solving them is that we
shall all work together as American
citizens without regard to differences
of section or creed or birthplace, copy

other but the spirit of burning devotion
to duty which drove them forward each

Grant, Farragut, Sherman, Thomas,
an Sheridan, when Lee and Jackson,

SOUTH fought to a finish the great civil
war. They did not themselves real

marked the death throes of what was
worn out, and the birth pangs of a
new and more glorious national life.
Mighty is the heritage which we have
received from the men Of the mighty
days. We, in our turn, must glrd up

EVACUATION DAY
OBSERVED TODAY

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-"Evacuation
Day." the 125th anniversary of the
evacuation of New York by the Brit
ish troops, was informally observed
in the metropolis today. Flags f1oated
from many buildings and patriotic OBJ
servances will take place tonight
coupled with the Thanksgiving eve
merrymaking.
This late November day amounts
really to a Manhattan Fourth of July
and was so observed when Sons of the
Revolution were literal sons. Until
a time within the generation now liv-
ing there was a veteran of 1912 to as
sist in the Battery flag-raising.
From Sept. II, 1776, to Nov 25. 1888,
a British army remained a blight on
this city. Within those seven years
and two months population of 20,-
600 sank to less than 10000. Two great
fires left long blocks of ruins in
Whitehall, Broad, Beaver Vesey ard
Pearl streets and Broadway, and there
was no energy for rebuilding. The
city was apathetic, dismal, disrupted,
unclean, almost ungoverned, a wreck
of matter and Of mind.
One would have said that only a
miracle could restore community SO
prostrated. Possioly the evacuation was
the miracle. At any rate, revival be-
gan with the marching down to the
Battery of the redcoat intruders and
the marching in from the north of
Washington's well-tried Continentals.
In 1890, only seven years after it's
emancipation from British control, old
New York had passed the $4,000 line
in population.

General jackson De-
livers Ultfmatum to GRANGER.
Must Close Up Leavenworth Sa.
looms for All Time.
THE SUNDAY ORDER,
This Is What Brought Out Re-
cent Action.
Next Thing May Be an Custer
Suit.

Attorney General F. S. Jackson has
sent a sharp letter to Mayor e. W.
GRANGER of Leavenworth, demanding
that he Immediately close up the Leav-
enworth saloons.
This letter was called forth by the
announcement in the Leavenworth
Times that Mayor GRANGER had ordered
all the saloons to close at midnight
every night. and remain closed over
Sunday. 1t was announced by the
Times that this order would be obeyed
by the saloon men.
Attorney General Jackson, in his
letter, reminds Mayor GRANGER that the
mayor promised to clean up the town
says that in his Judgment the mayor is
not keeping his promise, and that he
desires to know what the meaning Of
the mayors Sunday closing" order is.
Mayor GRANGER is informed that If he
has authority to issue and enforce the
order which it is announced he has is
sued, he also has authority to close the
saloons permanently. and this, Mr..
jackson says, is what he is expected to
do without any delay.
The probability is that unless Mayor
GRANGER gets busy without any further
delay. he will have to face charges of
custer, or possibly contempt Of court.
Leavenworth is one of the Kansas
fight to retain its open saloons.
Whether it is collecting any revenue
from these places still remains some
what Of mystery, but the probability
is that some way has been found for
avoiding the strict provisions OF the
law. A town usually doesn't permit
saloons to run with out some financial
return for the concession.
There are a lot of suits pending in
the Leavenworth county district court
which were brought through the direct
influence Of Attorney General Jackson
Charles D. Shukers, assistant attorney
general, is conducting these suits
Within short time these suits will
come on for hearing. The district judge
is unfriendly to the closing of the sa-
looms. and doesn't believe in the law
! Anything which the state gets in his
court will have to b. obtained by hard
fighting, and there won't be anything
taken for granted. Consequently it Ii
a difficult proposition for the state tt
enforce the law.

to get grip on the Klondike situa.

WHY AT ABILENE.
Explanation Of Location of Attack on
Insurance Trust.

"How did it happen that Abilene was
selected as the place to start the fire
insurance investigation" was asked
today of one of the assistant attorney
generals who is interested in prosecut-
ing that case.
1.-THE reason was rather a peculiar
one," was the reply. "As nearly as we
can find out, it seems that the insur-
ance companies determined to increase
their rates here in Kansas from 25
to 40 per cent as rapidly as possible,
in order to make Kansas pay a large
share of the San Francisco fire losses.
They sent out from the Eldridge bu-
reau a man to examine wirings.' This
man was sent to Abilene, because it
happened that Abilene was the first
town in the alphabetical list of the
larger Kansas towns. The man made
very cursory examination of the
wiring, found nearly everything defec-
tive, and the result was that the in
surance companies promptly attempt
ed to increase their Abilene rates about
80 per cent. Immediately there went
up such a howl that the insurance
companies hesitated in their campaign
for a general extension of the new
rates, and thus far Abilene is the only
one where the rates were attempted
to be generally enforced. In some
towns they charge the new rates for
new policies, but old policies are be-
ing renewed generally at the old
rates"

ARE WATCHING CUBA.
Health Authorities Guarding Against
Possible Yellow Fever.

New Orleans, April 21.-The pre-
cautions taken to safeguard the United
States from yellow fever infection
from Cuba were described in an in
terview today by DR.. John n. Thomas,
assistant surgeon of the Marine hos
pital service, who arrived yesterday
from Havana. He said that the names
and destination of all passengers for
the United States are taken and for
warded with the vessel on which they
sail to the port physicians of southern
ports in the United States and those
officers keep such passengers under
surveillance for six days after removal.
so that if sickness occurs it is quickly
detected, and if it is of an infectious
nature, the proper measures can be
taken to prevent its spread.
DR.. Thomas added: with our
present knowledge of how to stamp
out and prevent the spread of yellow
fever, there is no necessity for any
Mysteries or panics. should a case of
the disease be discovered in any COM
munity. The proper measures vigor-
ously and quickly applied will stamp
out and control the disease
