st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Ninety-nine years have elapsed since
the birth of Abraham Lincoln. 1t is
an inspiration to turn to character
and career that loom up more and
more as the years go by. In the large
sense of example and influence Lincoln
still lives, and will always live The
story of what he said and did is an in
vigoration to every citizen of this re
public who turns to it. He guided the
country through its worst storm to a
safe haven and never once lost his
temper or calm balance of judgment.
He never had more momentous mes
sage for his countrymen than when he
took part in the dedication, with the
civil war still raging, of the field at
Gettysburg. A few lines sufiiced, and
they are immortal. Lincoln's national
career covered scarcely ten years, but
how crowded with intensity of thought
and effort in behalf of nation whose
existence was desperately threatened.
In the arena of debate Lincoln had to
think for millions, because he could
best make luminous the vital ideas
struggling to find their ablest cham
pion. As a war-statesman he then
took the pedestal with a vast conflict
on every hand, stood there steadily
with his reserve power never exhaust
ed his manly poise never shaken, and
fell a martyr as the acclaim for the
Union preserved sounded through the
land.
The history of the Republican party
as responsible political force practi-
cally began with Mr.. Lincoln in its van,
! first as its man of argument, and then
as its man of action. To say where he
got his brain and high qualities of lead
ership would be vain search into the
mysteries of nature. He fulfilled the
mission and its results are fixed in his
tory. But there is so much that is
perpetually helpful and ennobling in
Iincoln's life and services that he is a
type and model that can be studied to
advantage under all national circum-
stances. He was invariably master of
himself. He reasoned but never quar-
relied. No vanity touched him. He
never knew the fretfulness of any
form of egotism. He was politician,
but always on the highest level. Above
all he was a patriot. AS statesman
he was able to take the draft of a
weighty state paper from his accom-
plished secretary of state, and with a
few touches of his pen here and there
change it from an implement of danger
to one of safety and amity,
Lincoln's mighty character has grown
in the esteem of mankind by the
searching analysis it has attracted for
more than forty years. There is no
other character just like it in the hui
mility of its beginning, and its com
paratively sudden development to
leadership in problems of vast concern
not only to this country but to all hui
mainly, and to the future of popular
government, which stands revealed as
the highest the mind can conceive. Can
the country always hope to find such a
man in its emergencies, or feel sure
that it will recognize them as UNI
erringly?

The office of marsha l seems to be the most attractive and there will be a number of candidates :or the place. While this is certainly the most impor- tant office in town in point of sal ary, it is important to the town tn tt the other offices be properly filled.
 It is very important that we haze a good town council. A member of the town council draws no salary, yet to he d good council nan one must be the possessor of good. sound business sense. and be willing to exercise it freely in the interests of the town. We have often enough expressed our opinion "n this subject, and there is no douht but what the majority of the voters agree with us. We think some of our good, sound business men should not be lax in their -fforts to get on the council.
