LINCOLN ADDRESS IN SCHOOLS.

The Lincoln Educational league has
provided a fund OF 10000 to be used
toward placing in the school houses
throughout the country bronze tablets
bearing the full text OF Abraham Lin
coins address at Gettysburg. The
league will pay ohe-half the cost Of
each tablet II the school or any per-
son interested In It will contribute the
other half.
This famous address by President
Lincoln was delivered November 10,
1863, at the dedication of the Gettys-
burg National cemetery. The address
follows:
Fourscore and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this conti-
nent a new nation, conceived in lib
erty and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great cviil
war. testing whether that nation. or
any nation so conceived and so dedi-
Gated. can long endure. We are'met
on great battlefield OF that war, We
have come to dedicate a portion OF
that field as a Undressing place for
those who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. 1t Is altogeth-
er fitting and proper that we should
do this.
But, in a larger sense. We cannot
dedlcate-we cannot consecrate--we
cannot halo-this ground. The brave
men. living and dead. who struggled
here. have consecrated It far above
our poor power to add or detract
The world will little note nor long re-
member what we say here, but 1t can
never forget what they did here. II Is
for us, the living. rather to be dedi-
Gated here to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus
far so nobly advanced. 1t Is rather
for us TO be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us-that
from these honored dead we take in
creased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure
OF devotion: that We here highly re-
solve that these dead shall not have
died in vain; that this nation, under
God. shall have a new birth of free
dom. and that government of the peo-
pie, by the people, for the people shall
not perish from the earth.

CALIFORNIA PoPPIES.

oh where is the loom for the weaving
OF smooth, sllken fabric like this? ?
And where are the dyes that are giving
Such color, with never a miss?
And where is the hand that can
fashion
The soft golden gown to a turn?
Who glveth the royal commission?
In what school of art do they learn?
And where is the eye to discover
The tint Of the emerald lace
That is just the right one to go over
Your slender form, up to your face? ?
There Is surely a deep secret hiding
In the silks and the laces you wear;
For the faith that is in me abiding
! long for a sign-do you care.
Do you care, o my poppies, for NOR
tails,
As mortals are happy for you?
Would you open for once the sealed
portals
or Silence. and tell?-if you knew ?
oh. dim is the eye for discerning
And dull Is the ear for the word:
"You have sung me loves song in the
morning
And | do believe now, have
heard"

ECONOMY AND ECONOMY.

One or two voices have been raised
for economy In state expenditures at
the coming session of the legislature.
Economy Is a good doctrine as a gen.
erality. but 1t has been used as a mis-
noner for q. multitude Of sins. 1t has
been discussed at home as an argu-
ment for the turning of frayed calico
and the humiliation of wearing last
years hat In order that lodge dues may
be kept UP and ten centers enjoyed
after both morning and evening meals.
It has been mentioned in public at
fairs most often as a charge by indi-
rection that the Gins" have been too
extravaganza and hence should get out
OF the way for the "outs.''
Scientifically, however economy in
nublic affairs should refer primarily
to the process Of getting the most for
the money spent, rather than to a re-
action from the amount of benefits
ito be derived from public enterprise.
If there are any state expenditures
which have been unwise or for which
inadequate value has been received
then economy should be preached, but
without any specific charges of this
nature the general text, of economy
can wisely be approached with some
suspicion.
In the first place the American peo-
pie are not tax ridden, except in some
cities where corrupt and incompetent
municipal administration has wasted
public money and left burdensome
city levies. In Iowa the state schools
at Ames, Iowa City and Cedar Falls
alone return to our people full value
for all the state taxes raised. We are
rich people, a high living people. We
want our defective unfortunates well
housed, and cared for, and we are do
ing 1t as no other people. ever did it
before. We do not begrudge the blind,
the insane, the simple minded or the
homeless all the comforts a state can
afford We are glad that aging vet
Grams have a great hospital and a
beautiful home. We did not feel stingy

RAILROADS "FAIR GAME"

Railroads seem to be looked upon
as fair game" by everybody whose
ideas of honesty and justice are not
the strictest The man who gets on a
train to make q journey and on whom
the conductor fails to call for a ticket,
keeps the pasteboard in his jeans. then
when he has the time, sends 1T in for
redemption, or sells it. or uses 1t on
another trip. He thinks nothing of
this. and does not regard 1T is a SER
ious violation OF common honesty.
Another who is going fifty-mile
tourney will buy ticket for fifteen
mile ride, give it up to the collector
and ride his fifty miles for the price
Of fifteen, or q man with a mileage
book will work the same racket.
In cases of accidents to persons the
railroad companies get soaked very
often for more money than is justified
by the injury and are frequently made
to pay indemnity for alleged physical
damage that never occurred at all.
Physicians are frequently called to ex-
anime people who were in wrecked
trains and who assert that they were
hurt There will be no visible physical
injury, but the pain will be empha-
sized with apparent witches of suf-
fering.
There has come to he recognized
among physicians railroad spine"
The pseudo victim of passenger

"a hurt to his back that impairs his
general condition. The spinal cord is
not severed, nor can the medical lights
detect any unusual or unnatural
bumps or corrugations In the, links

Such impositions on the railroads
are not fair retributive Justice, but
they are an offshoot of excessive rates,
watered stock, incivility of employees
and general disregard of public rights.
While the companies may only be
blamed for their just share Of this
condition, 1t looks very much as II
they were the ones who set the pace.
