10 CONvRRT OLD LINCOLN
FARM INTO NATIONAL PARK

..saIn August, 1905, the 110-acre birth
place farm Of Abraham Lincoln, $50
miles from Louisville. KY. was sold
for taxes and came near being pur-
chased by parties for private gain.
It was purchased, however. by . 10y
al citizen and the farm is now to be-
come "the Lincoln National park,
suitably commemorating our great
commander in chief. Abraham Lin
coin. and his people.

secrsaary, and ninetsen other leading

Etees. .,.-- b
It has been decided by the associa-
ton that, inasmuch a. Lincoln was
raised among the common people and
performed the mighty work he did
LIN the interest of the masses. the
whole people should be permitted to
contribute to this permanent memo

sion was false or untrue to his fell
low man.
And while NO one is to be solicited
for contributions, the object OF the
association is to give an opportunity
for every man. woman and child in the

GEOGRAPHICAL BOARD
DECIDES WEIGHTY QUESTION

The United. - States 3 Geographic
Board, which gets together every now
and then to decide how We shall spell
geographic names. and incidentally to
reverse its past decisions. has made
another ruling as to the proper spell
ing of the name of q certain Colorado
town. Canon City is tn town, and
that is the way the. board says it
should be spelled. Not Canyon City"
not Canon" City. with the tide over
the n-the little wavy line that looks
like a piece of fishing worm.
II the founders Of Canon City could
have foreseen what q hard time the
town would have trying to impress its
spelling on the country they proba-
bly, would have called 1t Penit4ntiary
Vile, or Jugtown, or something else
that's easy. There Is really no reason
why anybody should seek to distort
the spelling of canon, - but there are
lot OF people who like to do un-
reasonable things when orthography
is concerned. .a
When they get hold OF word that
came into our language from some
other language-as canon" came,
from the Spanish-they are not con-
tent until 1t is Englished out Of all
semblance to its former self. Hence,
we get canyon" for canon"
Now in this enlightened age people
are supposed to know-and ninety
nine of every hundred do know-that
canon" is not pronounced like can
non," but the orthography-manglers
won't let 1t go at that They insist on
putting in the y to placard the fact
that the last syllable begins with the
y sound.
or course there can be no objec-
ton to the use OF the tide, but as very
few print shops are equipped with
type so marked, the use Of the super
fiuous has become quite common.
Here in the West where every town
has a canon as a scenic annex the
Spanish form, minus the diacritical
mark, is nearly always used. but in
eastern papers the word is seldom
printed without that everlasting and
useless y.
1t is found in all tenderfoot lltera-
ture in the West; indeed, the tender
foot would no more, think Of spelling
canon" without the than he would
think OF spelling boulder with a u in
stead Of a W.
The decision OF the Geographical
Board ought to be a relief to the peo-
Pile of Canon City, and 1t certainly
will be If the board stands pat. But
the board reverses itself SO often
and reversed itself once on this paf-
ticular word-that there is no telling
when it will again place its seal Of
approval on the outlandish can
yon."

black satin. and its crown encircled
with the same was further decorated
with a large glossy bird in 4lack,
poised as though he awaited the right
moment to soar away; and on the op-
posite side-the right-was a huge
buckle of mother of pearl through
which the black satin band had been
drawn.
A hat for theater wear with blus
crepe de chine gown, was OF blue sat
in tightly drawn over a frame and
again covered with lace. Waite pearl

any crown band OF scarf, two wings
or irridescent blue that gave ,glints of
green and bronse and HAnk. stood
straight up IN frent 4andaa huge white
|aigrette covered the whole top of the
crown.
The bandeau when used is not for
the purpose of lifting the hat but to
give the exact, shape to, the head, and
hold it. It's through this hat that all
fastenings to the hair should be made.
They may be deepest just where they
need most support or where they will
best lay close to the head.
Tulle filling is not now used over
these bandeaux, instead it is rare that
anything Of the upper brim is seen at
all. When dropping hat is unbecom-
ing, often makes the wearer look as
though someone had put the brick
that children are told about on her
head to keep her from growing, then
the bandeau is used to raise it from
the face and ears and yet keep the
original shape.
The tendency Is still to allow trim
mings to fall over the back Of the
hair, even to the shoulders, and when
youthful and still possessed of the
girls symmetry of figure the effect is
good, but plumes are trimming that
adds years to an old face and years
more to old shoulders. When such
trimming Ia used, the color OF the
feather must not only be In accord,
with the hat, but it must be specially
chosen for the hair it will lay against.
A peculiar shaped hat of the droop-
ing order had its front brim curled a
little from the face and faced with
tulle Of a creamy white shade. Two
wreaths of deep yellow daisies encir-
cled the crown which was OF hardly
any height to mention. Starting from
the center of the front they fell over
the hair, which was black and wavy.
Two huge yellow chrysanthemums
stood straight up In front and a white
tulle scarf was spread over the whole
crown and its trimmings. A bandeau
raised 1t just high enough to show the
contour of the head and its beauti-
fully waved and curled hair which in
this instance was the natural cover
ing Of its owner.
A pretty little toque was prettily
and oddly decorated. The hat was Of
rough green straw and the brim was
covered with a band of peacock 8
feathers. that is, just the eye portion
OF the feather A black jet clasp held
a big bunch OF these feathers at the
left-front side. The hat was worn
with a green and blue plaid over-laid
with black silk cord lines, and trim
med with black soutach braid. For
certain types Of brunnettes this suit
and hat would be extremely becom-

MILL TACKLE ALASKA.

After several contradictory stories
had been published. the announcement
was made yesterday that the Ameri-
cession would attempt the Alaskan
trail. Day before yesterday it was
stated that the ear would be shipped
direct to Vladivostok and run thence
through Siberia 10 Paris. And in spite
OF the apparently authoritative asser-
ton to the contrary, il is difficult to
believe the trip through Alaska by
automobile will actually be under
taken.
We can imagine nothing more fool
hardy. Experienced men say it is alb
solutely impossible 10 drive an auto
mobile across the Valdez trail by the
route that must be taken now. II the
start had been made from Valdez in
midwinter, so that the snow and ice
could have been used, the feat might
have been possible. AS it is, we be-
lieve it Is sheer madness to make the
attempt. The automobile is likely 10
he stranded. If it does not fall from
some precipitous height and kin its &C.
cupants. many miles from the nearest
habitation. Then they Will almost
surely die from exposure or starva ton.
IL anything could be gained from
the trip. anything humanity worth
while, it might be as we'll to proceed
with the attempt. But nothing can be
gained. Even if the impossible should
he achieved, if the car should cover
the distance without disaster. nothing
will have been proved except that It
is possible. with an expert machfnfst
IN charge of the car, with every con-
tingency carefully provided for. TO
drive an automobile over the Valdez
trail in the spring season.
The widest imagination cannot con-
ceive of Alaska as a resort for auto
mobile enthusiasts. There will not in
the lifetime OF anybody now living
he automobile roads through that for
bidding land. In the name of common
humanity The people who are in au
thority should recall the car or change
the route. To send it by steamer Ia
Vladivostok. and thence through Sibe
ria. is feasible and not particularly
dangerous. There is no sense in send
ing men unnecessarily into danger.

ANARCHY.

! The Century Dictionary defines an
| anarchist as "one who seeks to over
| turn by violence all constituted forms
and Institutions of society and gov
| eminent. all law and order, and all
rights of property. with no purpose of
establishing any other system of order
in the place of that destroyed"
Alexander Berkman, an anarchist
arrested in New York in connection
with the recent outbreak there, said,
in an interview: The true anarchist
does not believe in violence. He be-
lieves in working by peaceful means -
Berkman had previously proven his
belief in peaceful measures by shoot
ing and seriously wounding Henry c.
Prick of Pittsburg, for which he
served some years in the penitentiary.
He was careful to say, however that
he did not shoot Prick by way of ad-
vancing the cause of anarchy. That
was a personal natter entirely, ac-
cording TO Berkman.
Still. we do not see how he can re-
concile his words and his actions.
Moreover, the case generally is over
whelmingly against him. Every an
archist newspaper in the United
states counsels lawiessness. Every
of order and of established institu-
lions. not by the ballot, but by the
bullet: not by discussion. but by dy-
Mantle. The Herald recently quoted
from such a paper, La QUESTION: So
ciale. 1t openly advised the blowing
up of police stations, the slaughter of
peace officers and soldiers.
1t is not at all unlikely that the Door
tool, Silverstein, who lies horribly mu-
tilated by a bomb he had intended for
La QUESTION: Sociale. If not by that
anarchist paper, then by some other.
or by an individual anarchist too cow
ardly to prepare and throw a bomb
himself La QUESTION: Sociale has
been barred from the United States
mails, and so should every other paper
that advocates anarchy be barred.
The Herald believes that anarchy
should be relentlessly rooted out, re-
CARELESS of where it is found. 1t has
no more place in this land than a nox-
ious weed in garden of beautiful
flowers. The most sternly repressive
measures should be used. This a gov
eminent Of the people and by the peo-
pie, but it is also a government of law
and order, and the red flag brother
hood should be made to feel the heavy
weight of its displeasure.

BATTLE FOR THE OPEN DOOR,

Students of conditions in the far
east Will watch with great interest
the developments in Manchuria re-
sulting from the position of this coun-
try in its diplomatic relations there.
Under instructions from the state de-
partment at Washington. F. D. Fish
er, consul at Hardin, in Manchuria,
has assumed that his sole official mis-
sion was 10 China. The Russian rail-
road administration suggested he
should apply for permission to the
Russian authorities before opening his
Office or raising the American flag
over the consulate. but he ignored the
suggestion and an issue has been
raised. Russia claims that under the
treaty of 1896 she has sole Jurisdiction

which is being utilized as an excuse
for exclusion of other nations from

churia, despite Russias bland promise
to keep the door open.
Curiously enough. the Japanese are
working in close harmony with the
Russians on this subject, 1t being OBJ
yiOus that the two nations have an
understanding to exclude, so far as
possible, the commerce of other ma
lions in the rich territory over which
they fought so furiously. Nominally,
Manchuria is Chinese territory: ac-
tually it has been treated as a con-
Russians, the Russians maintaining
their hold through their railroads, the
Japanese by occupation of strategic
points
While the present issue is raised
peaceably, and will be settled by diplo-
matte negotiations, it looms large as
a matter which may eventually in
volve China and its neighbors in war.
The Chinese have been waking up:
they are organizing a great army and
preparing to take their place in the
world as a world power Modern edu-
cation is taking the place of the old
obsolete training; spirit of nation
alism is replacing provincial ideas;
slowly, but very surely, the giant is
r0using from the slumber of long GEN.
turtles. and it will not be long until
Chinese rights will be demanded, not
as a concession by favor, but as
backed by power which cannot sue
cessfully be resisted. The growth of
China from a weak, disjointed fedora
ton to a compact, powerful unit is
going TO be the greatest spectacle of
the next fifty years. In Importance it
viii outrank the federation of the
German states into a great empire: il
will determine the fate of Asia and
may affect world history by its rela-
ton to European interests in Asiatic
territory
1t is evident, in view of the diplo-
matte struggle for an open door in
Manchuria, that the attitude of the
United States has an important bear
ing on the problem of commercial
dominion in Chinese territory: and
that this is only the beginning of a
long-continued. even though peace
full. battle for the integrity of the
Chinese empire
