New York, Feb 12.-There may be an
interesting race between United States
Marshal William Henkel and District
Attorney Jerome's detectives to get at
Charles W. Morse when the Etruria ar
riyes down the bay Sunday morning.
The marshal said to-day that he would
certainly be in the running, provided. of
course. he got a warrant for Mr.. Morse's
arrest.
The marshal, if the necessity arises, IS
ready even to make a dash out 10 the
three-mile limit and get in ahead Of the
Jerome detectives But then the marshal
may run up against Health officer Doty.
The rule is that nobody except the pilot
may board an incoming ship until after
the health officer has made his visit The
health officer is "a State official, but he
said to-day that he didn't know the
answer 10 the Morse question. RE could

Speaker CannOn'S Address.

Mr.. Cannon began his speech by de
claring that with reference to the remark
made by the Vice President, The great
Lincoln is dead, ana can not defend him
self"
Mr.. Cannon discussed Lincoln as "One
Of the people" and said that this was
the source of his great power. He said
no President ever sounded or could sound
public sentiment so we'll as he. This. the
Speaker thought, was the rarest of gifts
in a leader. and had never been shared
in so high degree by any other man since
the greatest leader of men was cTucified
1000 years ago.
Mr.. Cannon said he believed that loo
years hence, the students, in trying to
gain an idea of the age or period in which
the United States fiourished, would find
but three names-Benjamin Franklin.
George Washington. and Abraham Lin
coin, and that the last would be the great

Uncle Joe" said the student of that
day would never be able TO tell what
President was in the White House at any
given time, any more than We can now
tell what Roman Emperor was reigning
in a given year. He said the student
might know something about the Presi-
dent Of the United States, but that Lin
coin would be forever associated in his
mind with the office.
Mr. Cannon paid high tribute to the
homely virtues of Lincoln and declared
he summed up in his great life and per-
sonality ali that was best in the history
of the republic and its people.

Second Great Crisis,

AT the second great crisis which came
with the civil war. Providence again
blessed you with another great man-not
less worthy to be admired. and perhaps
even more calculated 10 win affection. 1
must not attempt 10 characterize Abra-
ham Lincoln at length, but may venture
TO say that his face makes upon me two
impressions. besides that impression of
sadness so familiar to us all. One impress
sion is that Of thoughtfulness.
He had not a very quick mind. OF q
very versatile mind. But he had the
power. a rare power, OF steady, sustained
calm, penetrating thought He was eau
tious. He looked at a subject all around.
He sometimes took long before coming
To decision. But when ne did decide. he
had surveyed the matter in all its bear
ings: he knew just what he meant and
just what he was going to do. He was
ready 10 take advice. No foolish vanity
In him. But his decisions were his own.
The other impression his face gives is
that of frmness. When he had made a
decision he stuck TO it. He had a daunt-
less courage; nor was II merely physical
courage. lie had the Tarer quality of not
fearing misconception or unpopularity. Of
Yl'oH4i4o tiit iiAV VI udilr Whatever II
might cost. Any one in d position Of
power and responsibility needs above all
else TO have this quality. He can't always
be right But he must never be afraid.
The two great requisites for public life.
besides an honest purpose, are clear
thinking and mistaken courage. 1t was
his possession of these qualities that
ftted Abraham Lincoln to be the pilot
who brought your ship through the great
est storm that ever assailed it. These
gifts make the leader

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1908.

Some state papers are inclined to believe
that it will be good thing for the Republican
party if Governor Johnson runs for third term
If he does, there will probably be an attempt
made to pull thru the whole Democratic ticket
and also a majority of the Democratic candi-
dates for the Legislature. Such a contest will
call for team play on the part OF the kepuol1-
cans such as there has not been for years, and
the game will have to be played with one goal
instead of with as many goals as there are can
didates.
According to the press dispatches, Harry
Thaw is to be permanently confined to the asy-
1um for the criminal insane in New York This
will be the logical and just conclusion of the
Thaw trial. Thaw is said to be paranoiac, and
for that reason was found not guilty OF the
murder of White. AS such, it is proper that he
: now spend his days in asylum for such per-
sons as are dangerous to society. The decision
refutes the sentiment often expressed during
the Thaw trial that the rich can escape
punishment for his crimes
General Stoessel who was acclaimed around
the world as the "hero of Port Arthur" has
been found guilty by court martial IN his own
country. and sentenced to death, but with the
recommendation that the sentence be commut-
ed to life imprisonment. To us 1T seems that
the reputation and perhaps the life OF brave
man is to be sacrificed to the fetish OF military
prestige, and that no such sacrifice would be
made in any country but Russia. Yet before
condemning the Russians too hard, 1t is we'll to
remember that Governor William Hull was
court martialed in this country for surrender1ng
Detroit to the British in 1912, and sentenced to
DEATH He was repreved by Madison IN CON
sideration of his age and former good services,
but the popular prejudice against him has
never been wiped out, tho later investigators
and historians have fully vindicated his repu-
tation.
