Lincoln.

AS time goes by the name of Lincoln
becomes more and more beautiful to the
hearts of all Americans and to the
world His memory has grown dearer
with the departing years. Each recur-
ring Birthday finds new thoughts, new
phases and new halos to make his name
more precious and his fame more illus
trious. Men honor and respect the name
of Lincoln as they do that of Washing
ton AS the memory of one is revered,
the memory of the other is treasured.
There was peculiar gentleness, how
ever, about Lincoln which was so tacitly
his own that it shines as a sun IN
the pages of the history of mankind to
enlighten the world forever. All coun-
tries have their heroes, whose names IL
lumine the records, all of whom have
merit But about Lincoln there was a
kind of surprising excellence to the man
as though he were well-nigh made the
supreme model One struggles in vain
to find flaws in his makeup. He seemed
about all that was desirable, admirable
and most lovable in man. If there were
lacking any qualities of beauty and good
ness they were held in check by those
lordly greater things which outweighed
them. One of the strangest things about
Lincoln is the fact that no man has ever
dared touch upon his foibles, which
leads us to believe that he must have
represented about all there was in man
to make him ter-perfect. The little
things that indicated weakness never
showed in Lincoln. He was so tremen-
dously human that in making his own
1ife's history he perfumed his pathway
with the rose odors of kindness and left
no thorns anywhere. He gave no of
lenses and seemed by his simplicity of
method to rise to heights Incompetent
sible even to his closest associates.
There was no way to dodge Lincoln on
any line of dealing with him. He must
have communed always with God to
have been so all-nigh right in his walks
with men, 1t is not recorded that man
differing with Lincoln did not finally
Weld and believe him right He in
spired faith always, and commanded al
legiance. Those who came near him
were Ii. up with his effulgence, and it is
not surprising that many other great
men lived in his family of advisers. AS
time passes Lincoln's name will be even
greater than it is to-day.

MUCH INTERE1T IN THE
PEERLESS HIGHLAND GAME

Much interest has been aroused in the
game TO be played at Front and Union
streets grounds tomorrow afternoon at
$50 o'clock between the Highland A. c.
an dthe Peerless Field Club, to settle a
dispute over the score that arose during
the last game between the clubs.
The sporting editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL was requested to select the
umpire, and William A. McCafferty has
consented to ofhciates in that capacity.
Mr. McCanerty has had much expert
ence as an umpire in big games, and
doubtless his decisions on Saturday viii
give no occasion for dispute. Each team
is to consist of the same players that
played in the game in which the trouble
occurred. save one exception to which
Peerless have agreed),. where NJ Elder
is going to catch for Highland instead Of
Haley, who is sick.

Gross wires of the electric

After being attracted by the

POLITICS THE LfVELIEsT
NOW IN WASHINGTON,
Presidential Nomination DOlngs and the
Opinions Of Leaders Of Both Parties.

Washington, Jan. 81 With
Shaw out of a job and about TO
enter the political arena, with
Hughes an avowed candidate,
with Cannon nominated by Bou-
tel of Illinois, and with Taft elect
ed, according to the White House
view of it, politics on the Re-
publican side of the fence have
come TO be decidedly interesting.
However, things are just as live
ly on the Democratic side. Col.
Henry Watterson feels sure that
Bryan will be the nominee of
his party for first place on the
ticket and that he will be victor
at the polls. In fact, the Ne
braskan already has twice
been nominated on the floor of
the House. But Gen. Grosvenor,
the veteran Republican ex-Con-
gresham from Ohio and ia
nous political prognosticator, is
just as sure that Bryan will not
get the first place on his party's
ticket. Other politicians and
public men favor Johnson of Min
nesota or Gray, of Delaware,
while the. name of Senator
Daniel of West Virginia has
been mentioned now and then
as a suitable nominee. Other
men in the rank and file of
both great parties express the be-
lief that so much rivalry will be
stirred up among the various
factions supporting that man or
this, that their respective booms
will be crowded to the rail before
the June and July conventions
and some Dark Horse will carry
of the stakes. However this
may be the outlook at present
points to some hot bsllOtlng in
both sssembIagesi ere the two
tickets are put in shape,

Washington, Jan. 27,--There were

railroads OF the United States IN the
three month ended September 30,
1907, according to bulletin made
public by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The exact figures were 1888 Kill led

increase OF i57 in the number Of kill
ed and 3,056 In the number injured,
as compared with the number re-
ported for the corresponding teri, d
Of 1905.
The total number of collisions and
derailments in the quarter under
review was 1920, OF which 800 coils
sions and 222 derailments effected
passenger trains. The damage to
ears, engines aud roadway by these
accidents amounted TO $3,G05, 896.
The worst accident in the present
record, causing the death of twenty
six persons and injurIng thirty
three, is reported as result of a
collision between an east bound pas

in dependent farmers Of Fayette
county have decided to put in
crops even at the risk of antago-
nizlng the society. While they
claim to be in sympathy with the
Equity organization, they insist
that business arrangements made
by the announcement by the
EqQity of this policy Of 40 1908
crop make it imperative upon
them to raise a crop this year or
face bankruptcy. So even at the
risk of having their beds destroy
ed by night riders they propose
to put in their crops.
One prominent Independents
grower near Lexington who con-
templates putting in about sew
enty. five acres said here today
that he proposed to raise tobac-
co this year if he had to station
a guard with rifle at every to-
bacco bed on his place. This
grower only recently purchased
a large farm and erected several
big tobacco barns on it for the
express purpose of embarking
extensively in the tobacco-grow-
ing industry.
