A HOLIDAY INNOVATION.

The Saturday Evening Post pub
fishes the following interesting and
valuable story:
"A travelling salesman had an only
son with whom he had been liberal in
the matter of spending money, and
rather thoughtless. The boy began de-
veloping extravagant habits. and had
no appreciation of the value of money.
So the father made 1t a rule that all
the spending money he got in future
must be earned. The boys mother
was made the employer. and a regular
schedule of prices for definite chores
was drawn up-two cents a basket for
splitting kindling. five cents an hour
for hoeing garden, five cents a hun
dred for collecting potato bugs.
This reformed the boy in one way,
for 1t made him ambitious. He got
out of bed early in the morning to
earn money. There was always a big
pile of kindIing on hand, and he kept
an eye open for odd jobs of all kinds.
But the reason he worked for
money was that he might buy more
or less useless things that he had
bought under the old arrangement. So
saving plan was added to the earn
ing plan.
The boy was permitted to spend
one-quarter of all the money he made
in his own way, without supervision.
Another quarter went into a small
home bank, to be deposited in a saw
ings account at-interest. The remain
ing fifty per cent OF his earnings was
kept back by his father, half to be
invested in books and half in tools
and toys.
Before anything was bought out of
this final fund, however, father. and
son had a conference and agreement
on articles to be purchased or books
selected. Thus the fund went chiefly
to the purchase of educational toys.
such as printing-press, scroll-saw,
camera. No anticipation of pay
ments was permitted, nor any trans
fer of money from one fund to another
to hurry the consummation of a pur-
chase. In that way the fact that there
was surplus on hand did not kill
the incentive to work for an object"
1t is the special business of our saw
ings department to take care of saw
ings and earnings of this nature and
while being cared for they will be
earning interest at the rate of per
cent per annum.
On making the first deposit of one
dollar we furnish you with a small
private bank to take home with you.
You could not select a Christmas
present for any member of the fam
lily that would be more useful and
more productive of happiness than
this. We shall be glad to explain
more fully if yol will call.

law-loving, decent citizenship.
Pretending that he had reformed,
and promising to walk henceforth in
the paths of moral rectitude, Wood
ward entered the Democratic primary
last summer and defeated two oppo-
nents for the nomination.
But he failed to keep his word.
Soon after the Democratic primary
he is alleged to have fallen off the
water wagon-making miserable
spectacle of himself on the streets of
Atlanta. The story got into the news
papers and mass meeting of citi-
zens was called to nominate an indie
pendent candidate for mayor.
The rest is known.
Be it said to the credit of the three
excellent daily newspapers published
in that city, that each of them es-
poused the cause of decency-and
that. Democratic as they are, they
refused to allow party precedent to
sway them from the plain paths of
duty.
Atlanta's victory is refreshing. In
spring might be the better word.

CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS.

II senator Foraker had no other
claim to admiration, his readiness to
fight the whole administration for his
right to his own opinions would COM
mand respect. Although he has appar-
emily been beaten in his own state by
the federal officeholders, he shows no
sign of abating his convictions or sur
rendering abjectly to his opponents;
on the contrary. like the famous Amer
lean sea captain. he has just begun to
fight
Accepting President ROOsevelts chaI-
lenge to his critics in which he asked
FOR a single case where a federal an
pointee or seeker for office had been
threatened or coerced because he would
not support Taft, Mr. Foraker pro-
duces most fragrant case with CORE
spondence as evidence. c. H. Bryson,
an editor of Athens. O, had been rec
commended for postmaster by Congress
man Douglas. BrySon went to Wash
ington and gave an interview in which
he said Foraker was gaining and Taft
losing strength, and could not carry
Ohio if nominated BrysOn went back
To Athens unconscious that he had
made trouble for himself, but soon re-
ceived a letter from Congressman
Douglas saying that the president had
decided afters all not to appoint Bry-
son.
Upon receipt Of this letter, Bryson
wrote a declaration of independence. He
had supported the president and his
policies, but he would not support Taft;
and while he wanted the office, he did
not want it badly enough to sacrifice
his opinions or the right to express
them. Eventually he was appointed,
but not until the attempt to coerce him
had been made a matter of record so
plain as TO be unmistakable.
Just what the next chapter in the
controversy Will be remains to be seen,
but to date the onus of violating the1
spirit of the civil service law and of
using his high office for the nomination
of Taft to the exclusion of other good
Republicans, lies at the presidents
door. The game is so plain, the proof
so positive, that it would be better as
well as more honest for all the admin
fstration forces TO admit the use of
federal patronage in Tafts behalf.
Meanwhile the presidents attitude
promises to divide the Republicans
hopelessly in the campaign. The
Blaine Conkling feudl which ended so
for the party, was pleas !
ant family party compared to the ven
delta which Taft's candidacy is pro-
noting among the followers of Hughes |
Fairbanks, Foraker and the others in !
opposition. Dir. Brysen. the center of /
this particular storm. said he thought |
Bryan could beat Taft; and Bryson /
ought to be a good judge so far as
conditions in Ohio and adjoining states
are concerned.

been great president if there had
never been any slaves to set free. He
would have been a great president if
there had been no war between the
states.
The emancipation proclamation was
but an incident, after ali, in a public
life that was flied with stirring Incl
dents Although it was known long
before he was elected to the presidency
that Lincoln did not believe in slavery.
although he had written that mo ma
ton can exist that is half slave and
half free" the freeing of the slaves
was not primarily a humanitarian
measure. 1t was war measure. a
blow at the south's resources. And it
was the most effective single blow
struck during the war, for it Grip
pied the fighting power of the confed-
crate states by destroying their pro-
ductivity.
Lincoln was statistically remarkable
in several respects. He was the first
president elected by the Republican
party, and the greatest of Republican
presidents. With not more than one
or two exceptions. he was the first So
called self-made man to be chosen for
the highest office within the gift of the
nation. Lincoln had no schooling,
other than the schooling he gave HIM
self. He was never what might be
called an educated man, although in
later years he read widely and dis
cussed ably, and with remarkable grasp
of his subjects, any topics he under
took to discuss.
His joint debates with Stephen A.
Douglas, with an Illinois senatorship
as the prize, attracted the attention of
the entire country. Lncoln's best
friends feared that he would be worst
ed in his encounter with Douglas, for
Douglas was regarded as the greatest
debater of his time But the railsplit
ter-farm hand-lawyer held his own,
and more. He lost the senatorship on
which his ambition had been centered.
but he won what was infinitely more
precious-the sincere regard of his fell
low cOuntrymen. And later. thanks to
the countrywide prominence he gained
in those debates, he won the presi-
deney.
Ii does seem that in the great crises
this nation has been called upon to |
meet Providence has brought forth a |
strong man, girded for the strife. |
Washington was such a man. Lincoln !
was another. Washington was the sa-
viOr of his country, Lincoln was its
preserver. Lincoln and Washington. |
There are no worthier names in all our |
history, and there is no other name |
that is worthy TO be written as high on |
the American temple of fame as theirs. /

RARTENDERs LIKE THE LID.

|, An interesting bit of news in The Her
aid the other day was contained in the
announcement that the bartenders of
Salt Lake City are almost a unit in
their advocacy of the closed Sunday sa-
loon. They do not base their opposi-
ton to whisky selling on Sunday on any
high moral ground. They say merely
that no man should be required to work
seven days week. But whatever their
reason, The Herald is glad to have the
bartenders out in favor of keeping the
saloons closed on Sunday
The fact that the law says the places
where intOxicants are sold must not re-
main open for business on the first day
Of the week is abundant Justification
for keeping them closed. No other rea-
son is needed. The law should be en-
forced as long as it has a place on the
statute books. 1t must be confessed
though, that the bartenders have
ground for their objection TO the Sun
day saloon. Six days a week are
enough for any man to spend i'm
drfnk-pOlluted atmosphere: six days out
of seven are enough, and more than
enough. for any man to spend in the
society of men who are drinking intox-
icants
The average bartender never drinks
anything himself Those who do drink
very quickly, as in other lines of work.
lose their places. The saloon propri-
etor is always looking out for his own
interests. and his interests demand So
Der bartenders. The bartender who
never drinks whisky or any other in
toxicating beverage is in strong and
steady demand. Such a man. can sell
intoxicants much more rapidly, can
make change more quickly and keeps
his wits better than the man who
drinks. Also, he is less likely to steal
from his employer.
1t must be very trying, too, for a bar
tender who doesn't drink to stand be-
hind a bar counter eight hours or more
even six days a week. How often he
must be disguised by the antics of the
poor fools who drink the poison he is
paid for selling them; how sick at
heart he must become sometimes when
he thinks of the want and misery that
is going to be caused in the homes of
the men he is serving. Come to think
it over, bartending isn't a pleasant job
for a sober man.
The late Sam Jones once said that he
had no respect whatever for a saloon
man who did not drink. He did have
some respect for saloon men who in
dulged to excess occasionally. That
seems to be a rather fair position. 1t
is somewhat inconsistent for a man to
set the example of sobriety and then
do his best to induce others to become
drunkards The way of the world,
however, is not to practice what we
preach.
The Herald wishes the bartenders all
success in their crusade against the
Sunday saloon, and we pledge them all |
the assistance in our power.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Ninety-nine years ago today. in Har-
din county. kentucky. Abraham Lin
coin, the first martyred president of the
United States. was born. The ami
versary of his birth is being celebrated
throughout the country that he hon
ored, and that honored him. He wrote
his name and mis- fame indelibly upon
the pages of American history. Best
known as the Great Emancipation, by
reason of his proclamation of freedom
for the slaves. Lincoln would still have
