The Greatest
Republican.

VI al, 10 oO wen W. WiASSSii N
true, that we cannot refrain
from republishing it:
1t is an inspiration to turn to
a character and a 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 invigoration to every
citizen of this republic 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 judg-
ment. He never had a more mo-
mentous message for his country
men than when he took part in
the dedication, with the civil war
still raging, of the field at Gettys-
burg. A few lines sufficed, and
they are immortal. Lincoln's
national career covered scarcely
ten years, but how crowded with
intensity of thought and effort
in behalf of a nation whose ex-
istence was desperately threat
ened. In the arena of debate
Lincoln had to think for millions,
because he could best make lu-
minous the vital ideas struggling
to find their ablest champion.
AS war-statesman he then took
the pedestal with a vast conflict
on every hand, stood there stead
lily with his reserve power never
exhausted, 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 a responsible political
force practically 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 quail
ties of leadership would be a vain .
search into the mysteries of nat
ure. But they could have been
developed only in the American
atmosphere. By some subtle
process; amazingly rapid when
once set in motion, the people OF /
the United States recognized him
as the most powerful adviser and |
doer in tremendous crisis. He
fulfilled the mission and its re-
suits are fixed in history But
there is so much that is perpetu-
ally helpful and ennobling in
Lincoln's life and services that
he is type and model that can
be studied to advantage under all
national circumstances. He was
invariably master of himself.
He never weakly exploded with
wrath and an epithet never fell
from his lips. He reasoned, but
never quarreled. No vanity
touched him. He never knew
the fretfulness of any form of
egotism. He was a politician,
but always on the highest level.
Above all he was a patriot. As
a statesman he was able to take
the draft of a weighty state
paper from his accomplished sec
retary of state. and with a few
touches of his pen here and there
change it from an implement of
danger to one of safety an 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 career
just like it in the humility of its
beginning, and its comparatively
sudden development to leader
ship in problems of vast concern
not only to this country but to
all humrnity, and to the future
of popular government, which
stands revealed as the highest
the mind can conceive Vet he

FREE DELIVERY SOON,
May 18th Date for New Service
In Denison
TO HAVE THREE CARRIERS
Ample Notice will be Giyon to Examin-
alton and All who Wish Nav Apply

Postmaster Meyers has received
official notification that city free de-
livery is to be established in Denison
on May. 18th. Prior to that time AN
examination of candidates for the
three carrier positions will be held
but the date of this examination has
not been set nor have application
blanks been received
The service contemplates the en-
ployment Of three carriers and one
substitute. The carriers are by law
restricted to an eight hour day. If it
be found that they cannot serve their
routes in eight hours. their routes
must be cut down The first year
carriers receive $500. the second year.
$500. with raise of 500 yearly until
the maximum pay of $1,000 is reached.
Judging from the number who have
spoken of applying there will be live
ly competition for the positions. The
examination creates an eligible Hist
out of which the postmaster may rec
ommend. The new service will be of
great benefit to the residents OF Dem
ison. In order to facilitate the work
of the carriers each household should
provide some receptacle tor the mail.
The better the facilities provided for
quick work the more people can ac-
commodated in the eight hours al
lowed the carriers for their work.
Two deliveries day will be made in
! the resident district and three daily
in the business section. Bids will
soon be received by the postmaster fol-
the erection of the steel posts provid-
i ed by the Government for the mail
collection boxes. Denison is to be
congratulated upon this boon which
its postal receipts for the past year
have warranted.

light. The debaters were taken to
our best private homes.
We speak elsewhere of the debate
at Onawa where three of the Denison
high school plead for the negative
side of the same question. 1t was ar
ranged that when the result was
known there, it should be sent over
and so the audience in the opera house
awaited with some anxiety the news
from the other team. 1t came in
time to be announced. The judge
had voted one for Denison and two
for Onawa. This pleased the Onawa
contingent here. and sobered up the
victorious shouters for Denison.
After the debate the judges. de-
baters. high school teahers and Onawa
visitors were invited to the Oxford
Cafe for an oyster supper. at which
time the Denison representatives tried
to make things as happy as possible
for their guests Thus Denison tried
to treat their guests royalty. We
are sorry to say that our citizens gen
orally did not support the debate with
a large attendance and so the finances
came out short. We fear the school
board will have to increase the salary
of Prof. Fellows to make up for his
losses in putting up when there is a
failure IN receipts when the shoots are
interested.

NEWS OF THE COURT
Alleman Boys Get Light Sentences on
Account OF Youth.

The January term of the district
court adjourned last week. The case
of Gary VS. City of Denison was set
tied out of court. The case of Brown
VS.. M. E. Jones Guardian for Frank
Nelson was Withdrawn by plaintiff.
A divorce was granted in the case of
Terasa Seiford VS. Geo. Seiford.
On account of their extreme youth
Arthur and Carl Alleman were allowed
to enter plea Of guilty to charge
of petit larceny and both were fined
SlOO and costs. The fines were paid.
A guardianship was applied for in the
case of the younger boy but it was
denied unless z. Feinhold. whose APP
pointment was asked would take
charge of both boys. The guardian
ship matter remains unsettled.
Maurice Eland who turned states evil
dence in the above case was dis
missed. Frank Dwyer was convicted
of forgery and given an Unfortunate
sentence not to exceed fifteen years.
While this sounds very harsh it is not
probable that the youth, will serve
more than year. and this will be
amply sufficient.

The coarse cottons made in southern.
mills formerly found an excellent mar
ket in Manchuria, the sales in that
cold province averaging O,000, 900
year. Recently they have not exceed
ed one-tenth of that amount. and the
belief is that the Japanese have not
dealt fairly in the matter. Japan large
ly controls the ports and railroads of
RTanchuria south of the railroad lines
nwned by Russia that enter Harbin on
their way to Vladivostok.
The signing of the new agreement
viii, it is believed, lead to new condi-
tions, and American cottons will per-
haps regain their former market.J Japan
will certainly deal fairly with the
United States. There can be no rea-
sonable doubt as to this and the south
ern mills will no doubt take steps to
place goods in Manchuria. The south.
ern mills will in the absence of adverse
commercial regulations be able te
compete there with English, German
or japanese mills. Mills amid the cot
ton fields have advantages, and thos'
advantages can bo brought to bea
even In Manchuria.

BELONGS TO THE REALM OF FANCY.

On our news page OF this issue will |
be found most interesting correspon-
dence from New York on the rush of
hundreds of workmen Southwark to be
employed in the renewed and awaken
ing industrial development that is here
everywhere in vogue.
1t is significant fact that while the
So called peonage cases were pending
in the United States Court fully $4,000
, letters were received by the men in
charge of the construction work and of
the litigation, written by men who had
been engaged in building the road
volu1 rily offering their services
as witnesses to tell of the conditions of
the camps and of the work. The Gov
ernnent, on the other hand, had to
pay expensive mileage charges and
expense accounts for various witnesses
that it's attorneys brought sfrom long
distances, without even establishing
so much as a semblance of substanti-
alton for its charges.
1t is noteworthy, in connection with
all that has been said and written con-
corning the work on this great line,
that each fall, when construction work
is resumed after the hot summer
m 0nths, more than fifty per cent. of
the men who go to the camps are men
who have worked on the line during
previous winters.
The camps in which the men live are
|
bunk houses, each il consisting OF a
large sleeping room with two tiers of
hunks extending down the center and
along each side. Each bunk is sup
piled with clean bedding and clean
mattress filled with cut sponges, and
is covered with Ea mosquito netting.
There is a janitor employed at each
house to make the beds and keep the
place clean. Then there is camp
eating house, where fresh me q. is serv-
ed at least twice a week, although in
lot climates meat cannot be eaten SO
heartily as in the north.
The houses Of the superintendent and
of the engineers are located in the
camps, and there are also libraries
ll-stocked with papers and maga-
zines to which thu men have free &C.
cess, and hospitals, in charge Of sur
geons, w here all minor cases OF illness
or injury are treated. The more seri-
Gus cases are sent to the lain hospital
of the road at Miami. ALI of these in
istitutions are maintained by the rail-
road, which already has spent upwards
of $75 ,O9e .or medical services.
What this vast enterprise will mean,
when completed, to commercial Cuba,
belongs to the realm of fancy, but it is
doubtful if its Importance could be ex-
aggerated. Its utilization also would
give the United States tremendous
strategical advantage from military
standpoint, were it necessary at any
time to rush troops to the Island Re-
public.
Furthermore, in view of the tremen-
dous possibilities for the future OF
Cuba, Panama and South America, the
Flagler road will supply the closest
line connecting the United States with
those countries.

Eat all the good food you like. Quit

rather you must add strength to the

that will digest the food which the
stomach can not digest. Kodol is the
only thing known to-day that will do
this, for Kodol is made of natural di-
