education, of civilization, the surest
prospect of the highest attainment.
"Our task is easier than that Of
our adversaries because we have a
premise on which to base our argu-
ment. We have a past TO which we
exultantly point; a past On which we
rlghtfully base predictions for the
future. The only past to which our
Democratic brethren care to refer Is
three-quarters of a century ago; to
the history OF Jefferson and Jack
son, they appeal to history rather
than to memory. Democracy's re-
cent past they either hide, decry.
repudiate or attempt to excuse.
Democracy's peerless leaders loftlest
periods deal with the expected. His
roseate pictures are of the future;
are attempted ex-rays. Ours are OF
the past. are of things accomplished,
deeds done, results attained"

Those Who Would Enter
Sonora.

Phoenix, Ariz.. Sept. 29.-Through
Captain Wheeler, of the Arizona
rangers stationed at Naco, warning
has been issued against Americans
entering the Yaqui Indian country in
Sonora, Mexico. There is also re-
iteration of Governor Kibbey's' deter
minatlon to severely punish Ameri-
cans who furnish the Yaquis with
arms.
dispatch says that Wheeler has
positively learned that Poe and
OLeary, two American prospectors.
were Yaqui victims and that S. L.
O'Reilly, of Douglas, who was mur-
dered two years ago, was tortured.
perhaps for days with cactus thorns.
His body was found in the cactus
bushes. tightly bound, and poisonous
thorns striking into the flesh. That
similar fate threatens all Ameri-
cans in the Yaqui country is tho
belief of the rangers.

COAL COMPANIES COMBINE.
Will Regulate Output and Uphold
the Prices,

Chicago, Feb. 21.-The Record
Herald to-day says: Consolidation of
the large coal mining interests of
Illinois and Indiana for the purpose
Of regulating the output and uphold
ing prices now is under way. Two
Chicago corporations, the Dering Coal
company, in which Rock Island and
Chicago G Eastern Illinois railroad
officials are said to be the principal
stockholders and the O'Gara Coal Co,
controlled by Chicago politicians and
New York Central officials, are lead
ers in the enterprise. The policy of
owning the various companies while
operating them under their present
corporate names is to be adopted
Among the other companies said to
be in the consolidation are the Him
ois Colieries company, the Springfield
Colleries company, and the New Ken
lucky company.
The reason given for the transfer
to parent company of large part
of :he capacity of the mines of the
two states is to make the supply fit
the demand. Production has gone sc
far ahead OF the demand that values
are said to have decreased.
THE consolidation probably will
be affected within three weeks or
month";" said J. b. Roynan, secretary
OF the Dering Coal company, last ev-
enine.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
One Hundreih Anniversary Of
Birth Of Martyred President
will Command Attention

Chicago, Feb 21.-The Lincoln CEN
tenary association was organized last
night with a view of celebrating the
one hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln on F'ebru-
ary Y, 1909, in manner that will
command world wide attention. The
charter members include some OF the
most prominent professional and busi-
ness men in Chicago. They are rep
resentatives of the various clubs, the
Association of Commerce and the
Illinois Manufacturers association
Lieutenant Governor Lawrence Y.
Sherman and Mayor Fred A. Busse are
among them.
Plans were suggested for Il perman-
ent memorial iu the form of great
building. 1t is believed there are a
sufficient number Of patriotic citizens
who revere the name of Lincoln to
make the raising of at least $1,000
900 for such purpose a matter of no
difficulty. 1t is hoped to secure Il
large portion of the money in 81 con-
tributions. One week is to be devOt-
ed to the celebration of the Lincoln
centenary. Governors and congress
men and prominent men from every
state in the union will be invited to
participate, and the same formal invita-
tion will be extended to admirers of
Lincoln and former associates Of Lin
coin In all parts of the world.
