burglars is the most cruel in the

Many Counties not in the New De-
veIopment Association.
Bayfield, County one of Few
to Make Substantial
Appropriation.

d. w. Maloney of Ladysmith,
secretary of the North Wiscon-
sin Development association and
A. D. Campbell of Madison,
Com missioner of Immigration,
were in the city Friday in con-
ference with President D. M i.
Maxcy of the association. They
have been on a trip through the
northern counties trying to
stimulate interest in the new
organization with a view to per-
fecting the plans for making a
campaign to induce settlers to
come into this region. They
are meeting with little success
and it NAV be that nothing will
come Of the movement to carry
on the work of the old North
Wisconsin Farmers association.
Bayfield, county was one of the
first to lend encouragement to
the new organization and at the
last meeting of the county board
an appropriation of $1,000 was
made to further the work of the
newly organized association in
this county which was one Of
the minor associations compos-
ing the North Wisconsin De-
velopment association. Only
four of the northern counties
have made appropriations. these
are Ashland, Bayfield,, Rnsk and
Taylor. Bayfield, county ap-
propriated $1,000 while the other
three counties made an appro-
preparation of only $3.50 each.
1t is even said that the new or
ganization will seek to extend
the field Of operation as far
south as Clark county. This
would make it of no interest to
this county and we would only
be paying money to help settle
the other counties. 1t is
doubtful whether the appropri-
alton made IN this county would
ever be used for that purpose,
as it was the general under
standing when the appropri-
alton was made that nothing
should be paid unless an equal
amount was raised in the other
counties of the old Farmers
association. It is not reason
able that the public money Of
this county should be used to
induce immigration into the
couaties that have made no eff
fort in their own behalf.

Senator LaFOllette Conspicuous at
Reception at the White House.
I.etiring Disposition Shown
Brings Comment From
Colleagues.

Speaking of the eminent mer
in line at the White House re
ception in Washington yesterday
raymond" Washington cor.
respondent of the Chicago Tri-
bune, this morning has the fol-
lowing complimentary words tc
say of Senator La Toilette:
"Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin was pointed out by every
one who knew him to everyone
who did not. He brought his
wife and childaen with him, and
there were some smiles at the
charming democracy of the Wis
consin senator when his party
of seven, four adults and three
children, emerged from one car
riage on the White house portico.
"They were all received with
JUNCTION by the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt, because it is a
fact generally understood here
that the Wisconsin senator has
vast deal more CT the real per-
sonal strength throughout the
country than many of those who
have been prominently mention
ed for the republican nomination.
Little Bob is not as we'll
known in official society of Wash
ington as he might be. The for
mer governor who was such a
great power in Wisconsin politics
has effaced himself almost com :
pletely since he has been in
Washington.
He was snubbed by the senate,
as all new senators are, and was
given an extremely unimportant
com mittee when he reached here
last year.
"He took an apartment long
distance from the center Of
things, and there has never been
any attempt on the part Of the
Badger candidate for the presi-
dency to put himself into the
limelight, either officially or So
cially.
The result has been that,
while the senator and his family
we're unknown to a good many of
the brilliant throng at the White
house today, his political as
sociates have been greatly i'm
pressed by his modesty and his
retiring disposition.
More than one of those at
the presidential reception today
spoke of the fact that they had
expected to see a frebrand from
Wisconsin of the Tillman type,
but had been agreeably dissap-
pointed in discovering a courag-
eous gentleman, with pronounced
ideas, who seemed quite willing
to blde his time until he was
able to achieve in the senate the
position to which he was entitled
by experience and his personal
capacity for craftsmanship.
"There were extremely few
senators at the White house to-
day, anyway, and 5his made
more noticeable the presence of
the senator who was not only a
presidential candidate but is
also by grace of his generous
colleagues, chairman of the
select committee to investigate
the condition of the Potomac
river front at Washington"

Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1908-03-06

Nothing in the development Of Amer.
lean taste Is more hopeful than the
waning Of the ,spread-eagle oratory
and Of turgid rhetoric in writing. The
passing Of the pompous and artificial
In public discourse may be witnessed
throughout the Engllsh-speaking world,
for the faults Of the old style, like
many American failings, were not De-
culiar to this country. In a recent
address at Edinburgh University Mr..
Balfour said that good public speak
Ing Is merely heightened conversation.
That is, it is natural, sincere, but pol
ished and correct; just as In fiction
the conversation sounds like people
talking, but is easier and more firmly
constructed than the spoken sentences
of real life. In the old days the flow
cry manner, employed by master,
could convey great matter and achieve
poetic beauty. Webster could talk in
periods and not "sound like play
acting" But much which passed with
our forefathers for eloquence would
seem to us prolix and false. The mas
ters of the old style were splendid,
but their imltators were dull and hys-
terical. The beginning of the change
came when men like Lincoln and
Beecher and the cool-headed politi-
clans Of modern England and America
turned their thoughts, not to the
sounding-board nor to a select audi
ence, but to millions of people. Their
words had to stand the test of print,
and be read by a growing multitude,
which wished above all things to un-
derstand what was meant. The Sneak
er of the British House of Commons,
In recent address, gave hint which
explains the change. He said that the
most effective orator at the present
time Is he who best understands and
has mastered his subject. In former
times the purpose of the orator was
to stir up his hearers-to lead them
to act, although they might not know
why they were to act. To-day the OBJ
ject Is to convince, and thorough
preparation and simple, direct dis
course are more effective for that than
ornate sentences and the abundant
gestlculation Of the earlier method.

An Apostle of Happiness.

Miss Laurence Alma-Tadema, daugl .er
OF the well-known artist and author of
several successful novels, has come from
her English home to lecture in America
on happiness" When asked by a New
York reporter to tell what she meant bv
happiness, Miss ma-Tadema said II
would take an hour and twenty Minutes
to tell that, and it had taken her five
months to write down what had required
years to learn. AS to how it could be at
tained, she is quoted as saying: "By man
aging ones self; by working hard and
developing ones self to the limit. II
never comes except by being sought. II
is not matter of condition or of wealth
1t does not depend on marriage" Han.

tom, Ky., q town of several Thousand

ton, Ky, a town of several thousand
inhabitants, about thirty miles north of
Hopkinsville, took possession of the po-
lice and fire departments, the water
works, the telephone and telegraph Of
f1ces and with the town shut off from
the rest Of the world dynamited and set
fire to the Steger & Dollar and the
John G. Orr tobacco factories, which
were allied with the trust.
The first appearance Of the night
riders was in November, 1906, when
they destroyed some tobacco barns and
small factories in Todd County, with a
loss Of about $4,000. The first raid
came on the night of November II,
l9O6, when masked bands entered the
towns of Eddyville and Kuttawa, stu
ated close together in Lyon and Cald-
well Counties, and destroyed the plants
OF the American Snuff Company and
NJ. c. Rice, with $4,000 loss.
Besides these there have been many
smaller raids and visits to individual
growers. Tobacco barns have been
burned, growers who refused to pool
their tobacco have been taken from
their homes and whipped, houses have
been fired into and the occupants
wounded. The aggregate losses by
these raids amount to nearly $1,OOO,OOO.

ESTATES OF OLD SOLDIERS.
An Ohio County to Fight United
States for $500. 600.

is now entitled to the worlds. record
as administrator of estates He has
been appointed by Judge c. w. Dale as
administrator of S;432 estates, and has
been compelled to give bond In the
sum of S3,2O0,OOO.
The appointment as administrator
grew out of the following situation ::
The central branch of the National
Military Homes is located at Dayton.
and was established by the United
States government, by a special act.
March 3, 1865. The Jurisdiction of this
large tract of ground, more than
mile square in extent, was ceded to the
United States government by the State
Of Ohio April 13, 1867.
Upon this land the Central Branch
of the National Military Homes was
built for disabled soldiers and sailors
who have fought the battles for liberty
and union. AS far as the United States
government is concerned nothing has
been neglected, and the central branch
Is a veritable paradise.
If all the veterans who entered tn.
central branch had lived there would
have been no contention and nothing
to narrate. When death comes the
veteran receives decent and honor
able burial, and his belongings are COL
lected, and if not claimed by relatives,
are sold, and the money, together with
all of the pension money to which he
is entitled; IS placed In the "posthu-
nous fund.-" which Is In the keeping of
