ON QUESTION OF PRoHIBI-

Huge Mass of Evidence on Either Side,
With Characteristic Quotation
from Letter in Which He Clearly
and FearIessIy Stated His Mind
Concerning the Matter.
Special to The Republican.


Chicago, Ill, April MANY new
and valuable facts regarding the life
of President Lincoln have come to
light as a result of the heated contro-
versy which is now waging between
the friends and foes of prohibition IN
this city over the rather ~unessenulal
question of whether or not he was a
drinking man.
Contribution to Biography.
A host of unexpected antiquarians
and historians have taken the field on
either side and the net result of their
determinations, while doing little to
solve the problem of prohibition or
license, has been a truly noteworthy
contribution to the biography of the
martyr president.
Rescued from oblivion.
Sayings and speeches have been res
cued from oblivion and one or Two
new photographs have come to light.
Regarding the actual point at issue,
curiously little serious testimony has
been offered, with the exception Of
oHS SidlaSbSl ioIlC quOtdtiOu, III Whit
Lincoln showed his -fearlessness in
standing up for his convictions regard,
less of the opposition in some quarters
which, then as now, must have been
aroused by such plain speaking. He is
reported to have said:
Intemperance of Prohibition.
Prohibition will work great injury
to the cause of temperance. 1t is a
species of intemperance within itself,
for it goes beyond the bounds of rea-
son in that it attempts to control a
mans appetite by legislation, and in
making crimes out of things that are
not crimes.
A Blow at Principles.
"A prohibition law strikes a blow at
the very principles on which Jul gcv
eminent was founded. l have always
been found laboring to protect the
weaker classes from the stronger, an

Party Never Yields.

Gentlemen of the Convention
The world moves. and the republican
party is abreast of the times. The
world moves said Calico three CEN
turtles ago, and the narrow minds who
ruled that day forced him to recant.
But the republican party never has
Yielded and never will yield to those
who ask 1t to about-face. The repub-
lcan party is always on the march
toward better things. Every repub-
lican watchword is a battle cry of
progress. Every republican leader
has been a captain of advance.
The Great Pathfinder.
THE first republican candidate for
president was called the Great Path
hinder. Its second candidate for presi-
dent was called the Great Liberator.
It's last candidate for president and
Inc nations chief magistrate today is
called the Great Reformer. These
men did things for the people-that
Is what made them republican leaders.
An Apostle of Ideas.
"A republican leader is not a manip.
uiator. He is an apostle of ideas, a
writer of laws, a doer of deeds. The
republican party does not exist to get
onices for the ambitious; it exists only

PENITENTIARY SENTENCE

Ninety-nine years at hard labor in

the sentence imposed on Oscar
Carlson by Judge Matson in the dis
trist cour Friday, says the Chey-

of murder in the second degree and
the trial developed sensational feat

throughout the state.
In December, 1906, Oscar Carlson,
who conducted a small hotel at Pine

shot and killed his wife as she sat
before an open fire nursing her two
year-old baby to sleep. The crime
was committed while Carlson was un-

Empress Of China Oefies
Japan's Demands :
WON'T GIVE UP TATsU MARU
WAR CLOUD BETWEEN M0NGO-
LIAM NATIONS TAKES ON
DARKER HUE.

PEKIN, March 13.-The war cloud
between China and Japan suddenly
took on darker and more ominous
shade today when the dowager empress
stepped in and gave positive orders to
the foreign Office not to surrender the
Tatsu Maru held by China. in spite of
japanese protestatlons.
The empress is strongly supported
by her personal court and she is urged
by them to throw China's armies in
the field and fight before giving up the
vessel.
Defeat by Japan would mean little
to this faction but the disgrace Of a
diplomatic surrender with the con-
sequent loss of prestige means much.
Against the empress is .pitted Yuan
Ksi Kai, foreign councillor and for
eign officer, who favors peace at any
peril at this time.
They declare internal troubles of the
empire is sufficient at this time to
tie the empires hands and they do not
want war.
1t is understood the foreign Office
has asked Great Britain to again in
tervene and propose arbitration.

WAGE WAR AGAINST
NOX|OUS WEEDS
MOVEMENT STARTED THAT WILL
! KEEP CITY CLEAR OF
i NUISANCE.

Since the English Sparrows have so
miserably failed in destroying the weed
seed in this city, vigorous campaign
is to be inaugurated by the citizens OF
Walla Walla to do some work in this
line themselves
On vacant lots and along the sides
of seldom used streets, there has been
a great deal of carelessness in the
past years in allowing a rank growth
of weeds which do nothing toward the
beautifying of the city These weeds
are allowed to ripen from year to year
with little effort made to check their
growth. This year, however things
are to be not so and if plans of those
who are working to have a beautiful
city mature properly, there will be ar
earnest campaign against the trouble
some weeds.
Every owner of vacant lots will be
clean; but more than usual this order
will be strictly enforced. Besides this
weeds along street sides and in OBJ
scure corners will be closely watched
and kept down.
There is movement on foot to star
fund for this purpose. Just how thi:
win be done is uncertain, the most fav-
ored way being some kind Of benefi
or public entertainment. A fund of $10l
would keep man with scythe busy
for some 40 days and this would rid tli'
/ city of many Objectionable spots dur
ing the coming summer.

THREE PLEAD GUILTY AT PEN
DLETON-OTHERS TO STAND
TRIAL.

PENDLETON, March 13.-Three OF
the Washington sheepmen accused Of
bringing their focks over into this
state last spring without giving the
required notice to the state or county
sheep inspector, changed their pleas of
not guilty to guilty. and were given the
minimum fine of 500 each, Wednesday
Afternoon. They will also be required
to pay the costs.
One of the remaining cases has been
selected and will be tried as test
case to determine whether or not the
regulations of the sheep commission
to the effect that written notice must
be given the inspector, shall stand.
The three men who were fined are
s. p DAWN. Felix Won Hollenbeke.
and the firm of Grant and Kidd.
The case which the attorneys have
agreed to try as a test is the one
against Johnson Bros. and is admitted
to be the most difficult for the state
of Oregon to prove.
Attorney Garrecht and Bryson, rep
resenting the Washington sheepmen al

are unconstitutional in that they grant
privileges to Oregon sheepmen not ac-
corded those of other states while
