Lincoln's First Speech.

In 1882 Abraham Lincoln was a can
didate for the Illinois Legislature. His
opponent was Peter Cartwright, the
famous pioneer Methodist preacher.
In that campaign Lincoln made his
first political speech. 1t was delivered
from wagon in the street of the vii
lage of Poppsville, in Sangamon coun
ty. The speech was very short; but
like all of Lincoln's speeches, 1t was
sincere and direct
This is what Lincoln said:
Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens: ]
presume you all know who I am. am
humble Abraham Lincoln. / have been
solicited by my many friends to be
come a candidate for the legislature
My politics are short and sweet. am
in favor of national bank. I am in
favor of the internal Improvement sys
TEN and high protective tariff. These
are my sentiments and my political
principles. If elected shall be thank
full; if not, it will be all the same"
Lincoln was defeated Referring In
his autobiography to this compaign,
Lincoln said Il ran for the legislature
the same year 1S32), and was beaten
the only time | have ever been beat,
en- by the people,"
But Lincoln's experience proved that
the sober second sense" of the people
can be trusted In the following four
campaigns he was elected to the legis-
lature, after which he declined to be
candidate any longer. In 1876 Lin
coin was elected to congress, defeating
his old opponent Peter Cartwright

ENGLAND'S PREMIER SILENT
King Edwards Absence During Cahi-
net Crisis Has Caused Strong
Criticism.

London, Eng. - The kings absence
during the cabinet crisis has pro-
voked much comment and criticism
as well as suspicion that there may be
some underlying reason connected
with his majesty's health that a semi
official explanation was issued Thurs
day night to the effect that his visit
to Biarritz was undertaken as a holi-
day in conformity with the strong
opinion of his majestys medical adj
visers, owing to repeated attacks of
influenza to which the king has been
subject during the spring for a num-
ber of years past.
Mr.. Asquith, the new premier, spent
the night in Paris and has kept secret
the composition of the new cabinet.
For the time being speculation on the
cabinet practically has ceased. The
Daily News makes the highly interest
ing announcement that John Morley,
while retaining the office of secretary
for India, will accept a peerage, his
reason being declining health and
throat affection that makes the strain
of the work in the House of Commons
too great

AMENDING SHERMAN TRUST ACT.
Congressman Hepburn's Bill Deserves
Serious Consideration.

1t is certain that the bill to amend
the Sherman trust act, introduced by
Congressman Hepburn, will receive
and is intended to receive, the fullest
and most searching examination. That
it is the result of much earnest discus
sion is well known. 1t embodies, sub
stantially II not exactly, the unani-
nous conclusions of the second nation
al trust conference that was held in
this city last fall 1t was the subject
of White House conferences attended
by representatives of various interests
and elements. Moreover, it is the out
growth of a strong and widespread
feeling among statesmen, executive Of
ficials and men of affairs that the law
of 1890, as repeatedly construed by the
courts, is practically unenforceable be-
cause it attempts too much and fails
to recognize great industrial and So
cial facts, changes and tendencies.
The underlying principle of the bill
may be expressed in a few words. In
stead of outlawing all combinations
and agreements in restraint of trade,
the amended act would outlaw only
unreasonable and injurious restraint of
trade. In other words, it would fol-
low the common law in distinguishing
between combinations and combina-
tions, restraint and restraint in the
light of one fundamental test-rea-
sonableness.
But the bill Is q very complex affair
in spite of the apparent simplicity OF
this essential purpose. The complex
ity arises from several causes, such
as the desire to remove certain fears
and apprehensions that have been ex-
cited, the desire to enable corporations
to ascertain in advance whether con-
templated agreements would be
deemed reasonable by the government,
and firmer government control of cor
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce.
The provisions of registration, for
the submission OF proposed agree
ments for certain immunities to regis
tered corporations as well as the eX-
plicit exemptions of law-abiding labor
unions from the operation of the trust
act are directly due to these indicat-
ed motives. The transition from the
existing to the new situation is made
gradual and evolutionary. and in re-
gard to damages for future violations
of the act the common law is followed
simple and actual damages being sub
stituted for triple or exemplary dam
ages.
There is no provision in the bill
directly or indirectly legalizing boy
cotting or blacklisting. The methods
and weapons of organizations whether
of labor or of capital, are to be subject
to the test of reasonableness, in har
mony with the whole intent and spirit
of the proposed act.

vote of thanks is due the Wiscon-
sin professor who says that our old
friend the tired feeling which comes
in the spring is not an acquired virtue
but is the result of heredity. If it has
been handed down to us from our
forefathers, who acquired it through
much patient endeavor, anyone can
see that we are not to blame. Still,
we think more of our ancestors be-
cause of this discovery Evidently they
were human, remarks the Chicago
Daily News, and not mere stern, busy
automatons, as we have been taught
to believe, who never relaxed but
were busy chasing work throughout
the livelong day and part of both ends
of the night Besides, we can the
more readily resign ourselves to the
pleasure of being lazy in the spring
when we know that we couldn't help
1t if we tried.

The treasurer of the Association
for Improving the Condition of the
Poor of New York recently received
two dollars from two small girls, with
a note saying that the authors had
saved the money from slang words"
Every time they used a bit of slang
they fined themselves, and every time
they heard others use any they re-
quested a forfeit or a contribution.
This plan would make some young
people realize that silence is indeed
golden.

Do Not Depend on the Tariff.

1t is time to have it understood that
the creation of monopolistic combina-
tions does not depend on the presence
or absence of tariff, but upon the
existence of opportunities to engross
supplies CIR control the machinery of
transportation or exchange. For in
stance, there is protective tariff on
wool; but the business of wool grow
ing cannot be monopolized, even
though i: is languishing. For a clear
understanding of the question it
should be plainly recognized that
wherever through neglect or mal-ad-
ministration of the law there is an op-
portunity to combine or control either
the sources of supply or the means of
production, or the channels of trans
portation or exchange, there the COM
binations to monopoliZe the given
staple will spring up. This is newt
able if the law does not correct or pun
ish the offense. There may be men
too honorable to share in such schemes
but the dynamic force of the tendency
is seen in the fact that the people
who are willing to share in it can buy
or eXtinguish those who will not
