next week, according to statements
made in the office of the clerk of
courts, and it is expected that little
work will be done in the courts after
the end of this week until the begin

the congested condition Of the docket.

THE GREATEST REPUBLICAN.

On Wednesday, Feb. IL, ninety
nine years had elapsed since the
birth of Abraham Lincoln. I6 is an
inspiration to turn to character
and career that loom up more and
more as the years go by. In the
large sense of example and in
fuence Lincoln still lives, and will
always live. The story of what he
said and did is an inauguration to
every citizen of this republic who
turns to 1t. He guided the country
through its worst storm to safe
haven and never once lost his
temper or calm balance of judg-
ment. He never had a more

A BATTLE FOR THE PEOPLE

In answer to your question, lis
Roosevelt q menace to business?"
let me say that I understand the
question to mean, whether or not
the policies of President Roosevelt
cause more detriment to business
than they do good.
President Roosevelt is the first
president who has extensively en-
gagged himself IN the business affairs
of the country, and for no other rea-
son than that there exists a greater
amount of dishonesty and injustice
now in the industrial world, part1-
cularlY through its power in poll
tics.
Most of his earlier reforms en-
deavored to sever the tightening
bond between industry and political
patronage, but, as time went on
and other evils became manifest, he
engaged himself in the adjustment
of injustice between the industries,
and between the people and the
trusts.
Up to the time of his 'Administra-
ton Wall Street was sovereign with

the nation, it was beginning to cast
its shadow OF influence over Wash

The United States Congress was

the Streets gasp for every word

regarding the Industrial world.
Stocks have risen and fallen at

not allow this democratic republic

These are plain and notorious

wAsHINGToRs BIRTHDAY.

Today is the 175th anniversary of
the birth of George Washington,
the father Of his country and first
president or the United States. He
was born at Bridges Creek, Va,
Feb. %, 1882; was commissioned as
mayor aud adjutant general in
1852; later became lieutenant col.
then general, and finally, in the
war for independence, commander
in-chief of the continental army in
the seven years revolutionary war.
He became president in 1889, but
felt much Of the bitterness of un-
popularity. ALI the honor he had
gained did not save him from the
wrath of a large proportion of a
people dissatisfied with his attitude
toward England. His farewell to
the people, following the compile
ton of his second term as president,
was very pathetic, as with tears
coursing down his cheeks, be turned
for the last time from the throng
that had listened to him in love and
sorrow. Three years he fingered in
retirement at Mount Vernon, his
beautiful old home, and then died.
Dec, IA, 1899, as he had wished to
live, ''amid the mild concerns of
ordinary life"
