believe you do not mix politics with
your profession, in which you are right.
You have confidence in yourself. which
is valuable, if not an indispensable,
quality. You are ambitious which,
within reasonable bounds, does good
rather than harm; but think that dur

army you have taken counsel of your
ambition, and thwarted him as much as
you could, in which you did q great
wrong to the country and to a most
meritorious and honorable brother Off

both the army and the Government

yours, very truly,
"a. Lincoln"
No one can read this letter without
u yelling up of eXultation in his heart
at Lincoln's many-Sided greatness. II
shows that wonderful mastery of men
and their motives which was charac-
teristically Lincoln's, and yet no one
would have disclaimed his possessing
it any more earnestly than he.
Upon his entrance into the Presidency
no one had given Lincoln the least cred
it for leadership, and the ablest men IN
the Republican Party, particularly
Chase and Seward, assumed that hs
would be a mere figurehead, an attrac,
tive personality to those who could bt
brought under the spell of his elo
quence, but nothing more. Neither
Chase nor Seward had any other ide;
than that the real work of leading thu
party and managing its ambitious anC
dominating spirits would be their task
Very many other Republican leader
felt the same way. No one was pre-
pared to see Lincoln assume such mas
terry of the party. and of the brillian
men who had been in the center of tn
stage for a generation, and this with
out the slightest consciousness on hi
part of a genius for leadership.
This letter to Hooker shows the SAM
power over military men that he hat
exercised over politicians. Hooker ha'
imbibed too much of the spirit of thu
Mcclellan coterie; that is, the belle
that the Government at Washington
was an inferior cabal of politicians t
which the army officers were infinitel.

Upon assigning Gen. Hooker to the
command of the Army of the Potomac,
President Lincoln sent him the follow

among Lincoln's state papers, and is a
model for future correspondence be

One Of the Aggressive SPIRITS.

Hooker and Sumner, HeintZelman
and Kearnye were the aggressive spirits
of the army on the Peninsula, and
strained the leash all the time to get at
the enemy land beat him. Franklin,
Fitz-John Porter, w. f. Smith and 9TH
ers were of a conservative, inactive
character, and supported Mcclellan.
Hooker had done splendid fighting in
the second Manassas campaign, and re-
ceived the command of the First Corps
when Mcdowell retired, and with this
he made a magnificent fight on the ex-
IRENE right at Antietam, where he was
severely wounded
According to camp rumor, when it
was found that Mcclellan had no in
tention of renewing the attack on Lee,
the bitterly dissatisfied division Cen
erals of the army went to HOOKER, ana
asked him to take command and de-
strOy Lees force before he could get
back across the river II was said that
! this proposition was not at all unwel-
come to Hooker, but his disabling
wound preciuded him from making any
move in that direction OF course this
was merely camp rumor, and it has the
stamp of improbability, being in the
nature of a mutiny TO which the Army
of the Potomac would have hardly sub.
mitted. Still, the assertion has beer

Prosperity.

Strangely disturbing reports of
prosperity float through the news
papers these days. The mental
science method of having prosper
ity by saying we have it, does not
seem as effective as it was hoped.
Here is an account of the closing
down of a score of glass factories,
including one in st. Louis, where
the mental science remedy has ac-
tually seemed to take. The expla-
nation is a falling off in demand.
Again, we have reports of the
enormous fall in the prices OF
building material, but no trade.
1t is reported, too, that nearly
2, 900 vessels of the Great Lakes are
idle, and $4,000 marine laborers
out of work in consequence. In
the Nep York Times of June q, we
find an interview with r. Fulton
Cutting as president of the Associ-
alton for Improving the Condition
of the Poor. "We look anxiously
each week." says Mr.. Cutting, "for
some Iet-up in the tremendous de-
mands that are being made upon
us, but there is none. Unless there
is immediate help from our con-
tributors we shall outrun our ap-
preparation by $4,000 by the end
of the year" Asked what he at
tributed the necessity to, Mr.. Cut
ting replied: "To the prevalence
of unemployment. I cannot re-
member such a condition existing
before. Not even in 1898 or 1894
did the depression persist for so
long" In the face of conditions
such as those, the pretenses of
prosperity that are made by news
papers that know better seem al
most satanic. Hard times cannot
be exercised away like an evil
spirit; hard times must be recog-
nized and dealt with like an evil
habit. Chicago Public.

Quite a number of our young
folks attended the Fourth of July
picnic at Belgrade.
DR.. Adams spent Sunday with
the church on Brushy.
E. R. Moore, of Bunker, was the
guest of DR.. Adams lately and
sold his horse to the DR.. after
which Mr.. Moore bought the pro-
verbal ''gray mare of S. l..
Brooks.
Our school begins this week.
Miss Blanche Eaton is the teacher.
There is certainly something
wrong in a law which demands
that new school books shall be
used and makes no provision for
supplying them. There should be
an agent in the county and the
publishers should take back all
unsold books. Our schools are
in progress and only a few books
on hand makes it a task for the
teacher.
S. L. Brooks and sons are help
ing F. M. Adams in the hay on
Maple Grove farm.
We wonder what John Adams
and Bismarck would think could
they see their pictures in an ad-
vertisement for beer.

From BelleVleW.

The past week having been
very favorable for farming, most
farmers are through laying by
their corn, while many are cutting
and putting up grass.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick has been some
what indisposed for the past week,
but it is reported that she is much
improved at the present writing.
DR.. Kerlagon made several pro-
fessional trips out of town last
week. DR.. K. is a good doctor,
and in every respect a perfect
gentleman.
Willie Shea and young Mr..
Eichelberger, of Graniteville, were
in town last Tuesday.
Harry Edmonds, of Leadwood,
visited his father near town last
week.
1t is reported that Miss Laura
Dutton has been employed to teach
the Cedar Creek school the COM
ing term. A Mr.. Hanson OF Wash
ington county will teach what is
known as the Pepper Street school,
and Miss Audra Thompson will
teach the Hen Peck school.
H. Latham and wife were in
Ironton Tuesday OF last week.
DR.. G. w. Farrar, of Ironton,
had professional business in the
valley a couple of days last week.
Miss Emma Hawkins has re-
turned home, after a weeks visit
in Ironton.
Mrs. Warren visited Mrs. Bu-
ford Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Horn visited friends in
town Friday afternoon.
The famous hog case, in which
j. G. Roehrs was plaintiff and
James Meyer defendant, was tried
again last Tuesday before Squire
Roop, and resulted in majority
verdict in favor of the plaintiff, fix
ing the value of the sow and shotes
in question at $40. Hon. w. R
Edgar looked after the interest Of
Mr.. Roehrs, and Prosecuting At
torney Damron and a lawyer from
Pennington looked after Mr.. Moy-
er's interest. There were pres.
ent at the trial more than one hum
dred persons, most Of whom hac
no interest in the case, except a
curiosity to hear the facts in the
case. This being the first case we
ever heard Mr.. Damron handle
we are fully convinced that he is 8
young man of more than ordinary
ability as lawyer, and will GER
tainly rise to eminence in his pro
fession. Of Hon. w. R. Edgar, i
is not necessary to say anything
for it is pretty generally knowl
throughout Southeast Missouri
that he has but few peers, if any
in his profession. We are reliably
informed that the cost in the cas-,
in question is close to $3.50, to say
nothing of the lawyers fees, whicl
\ will probably be not far from S4
or $50.

MASONIC HALL, ELvINS, Mo-,
July 8, 1908.
Our Brother, Anderson Parker,
is dead. We shall see him no
more in his accustomed place
and our hearts are heavy with
sorrow.
1t is meet, therefore, that we
who knew and loved him best,
should pay tribute to the worthy
merit and noble traits of manhood
which our Brother, now resting in
the peaceful bosom of Mother
Earth, so we'll exemplified ere he
took his departure to that "bourne
from whence no traveller returns"
Be it, therefore, resolved by FL
wins Lodge Gu. d. A. F. & A. M:
That in the death of Brother Par
ker, Masonry has lost one of its
most exemplary adherents; this
Lodge one of its best and most es-
teemed members. and the COM
munity one of its worthiest citi-
zens.
That the loss of this beloved
Brother has touched the whole
community with sense of sad
ness, but us, who knew him so
we'll, with the deepest sorrow. He
was not just member, he was a
Mason. The principles of our an
cient and honorable institution
were imbibed in his heart, and it's
purposes embossed in his life.
Remembrance of his acts of char
ity and deeds of kindness, and the
cherished memory OF his gene
rous and lofty character-a rich
legacy to us-will soften the
hearts and sweeten the lives of us
who linger here behind. "They
are tenderer to the living who are
true to the dead"
We loved him in life, for there
was none more lovable ;-he had a
hand always open; heart always
kinda tone and temperment as
cheering as sunshine, and well
come as fresh air.
AS we loved him in life, we
mourn him in death, and will
cherish his memory as an inspira-
ton to 'good offices to be renewed
and continued that all may see,"
and we may know and feel, "the
benign influences of Masonry"
That we tender our sincere con-
dolence to his bereaved. wife,
children and relatives, in their
great loss, and assure them that
we share in their bereavement.
That copy of this Memoriam
be furnished the family of our
deceased brother, and that we re-
quest its publication in the Labor
