That he survived shows his hardy
mental and physical constitution. Dur
Ing his unfortunate mercantile expert
ence he also read Blackstone, inter-
spersing his law with gingham, coffee
and tea tobacco, sorting out the mail
for he was also MISUNDERSTANDING
politics and telling the inevitable sto-
ry.
He also "ead other law books pre-
sumably, although the requirements
for admission to the bar at that early
day were not remarkably stiff It is
on record, however, that he pursued
his studies while surveying and dur
ing his early service in the legislatu re:
also while practicing in the justice
court.
Lincoln was a thorough student, al
though be did not probe for prece-
dents SO much as most lawyers. He
was strongest in case that involved
abstract justice, that required original
reasoning and that hinged on some
question Of moral law or human rights.
At such times he was invincible. He
would also read up his case in the
books if necessary, but he could not
successfully turn his face to the past
and depend on the dictum of dead
men. He was a great jury lawyer, but
MS numerous victories in the supreme
court Of Illinois testified that he was
likewise successful before judges.
One OF the most conspicuous of Lin.
coins characteristics was his neglect
of the trivial and inconseauential.
Mere formal things did not interest
him. The nonessential he brushed
aside as though it did not exist. Point
after point he conceded as of no i'm
portance. Re drove straight to the
heart of the question, and there he
won his fight if at ALL He found the
nub of the matter, and there he hung.

GUARD.
in stone, ready to
repeat our outrageous treatment of
him on the next great soul that comes
to help us up the path through the
ages.
LincOln's assassination had been
| threatened from the moment of his
nomination for the presidency. The
! only wonder Is that it was averted un-
| til the close of the war. While he paid
| little or no attention to the menacing
hints that came in every mail, his
many private and public references to
the subject show that he expected a
| tragic death.
He often jokingly said that he was a
| physical coward yet no man ever
showed higher bravery or greater I'M
consciousness Of danger When at the
| front during battle he needlessly ex-
posed himself. He resented having a
guard placed about him and never rest
ed until it was removed. He went
about Washington unattended at all
hours of the day and night, and, while
his own utterances showed that he was
fully alive to the dangers, he never
made any provision against them.
IF they kill me-" he said philosoph-
ically, "the next man will be just as
bad for them, and in country like
this. where our habits are simple and
must be, assassination is always posi-
bic and will come If they are deter
mined upon it,"
The hour the blow was struck could
not have been more exactly timed if it
had been arranged from all eternity.
The war was ending. at the last
| cabinet meeting, held on the very day
of the assassination, General Grant was
present, expecting news of Johnston's
surrender, the last great act Of the con-
| fiict. On the same afternoon the presi-
dent went driving with Mrs Lincoln,
who said she had never seen him so
| happy. Upon her mentioning this
| fact he remarked, And well I may
feel so, Mary, for l consider this day
that the war has come to close"
1t was not quite at close. His own
death was to be the last act of the gil
gantic drama. That would end slavery
| and disunion forever, past the power
| Of any man to revive The book would
| be shut and sealed with his own blood.
| No man could ever reopen it and turn
| back its pages again.
| Perhaps never in the worlds history
| has grief been more universal and pro-
| found than at President Lincoln's
death. This man had the heart of the
common people, TO the private SOL
der he was a father, to the negro a
iiberator, to the nation savior, to
the lowly man Of every cline broth
er. His death revealed his supreme
greatness. The cowardly assassin that
sneaked into his box and shot him
from behind in reality shot rebellion
and calumny to death, but never harm
| ed Abraham Lincoln. He was secure in
the worlds heart forever. His work was
done. The Union was saved and slav-
cry was ended. Government "of the
people, for the people and by the peo-
pie had been vindicated and perpetu-
ated. One more stone had been lifted
| into place in the temple OF democracy.

LARGEST AUTO TRACK
indianapolis to Have the Most
Remarkable In the World.
COURSE FIVE MILES LONG.

Spectators Will Have Clear View at
Any Time of the Cars Racing at
Their Highest Speed-Whole Track
to Be Brilliantly Lighted.
Indianapolis is soon to have the
largest and most remarkable motor
racing track in the world. Instead of
being circular or elliptical, it will
double on itself, and as result the
racers will be in full view of the grand
stand almost constantly.
Engineers are now at work stalking
off the course and arranging for the
clearing of the ground. Active work
Of building the speedway will be be-
gun as soon as the weather will per-
NIT, and not later than Feb. Is. The
track and the entire grounds are I'M
der contract to be completed by May
Is, so that the first public event may
take place early in June
The speedway will be built on a
tract of land known as the John Press
ley farm, just northwest of Haugh-
vile and adjoining the county asylum
grounds. The tract is mile long and
half mile wide.
The entire cost of the speedway,
with the grand stands and other build
ings, will be nearly half million dol
lars. The speedway will consist Of an
outside track two miles in circumfer-
ence, fifty and sixty feet in width,
s+o1
allow a speed of more than 100 miles
an hour. From this outside track runs
an inside snakelike track three miles
long, which will enable the promoters
to give every style of combination
track and road racing in clear view Of
the grand stands.
The general detail of the equipment
will be far more complete than ever
before attempted on speedways. The
easy access to the city will enable the
promoters to accommodate great
crowds of people.
The main grand stand will have a
seating capacity Of 50 5000, and besides
there will be twenty additional grand
stands, each with a seating capacity of
fifty, placed at different points about
the speedway. The small grand stands
will make it convenient for clubs to
attend the meets in a body and have
their own seating reservations.
All the grand stands will be at an
elevation that will enable those inside
to see all parts of the five mile course
of aOv ti}nn Tho track will have tho
unique distinction of being the only
speedway or racing course in the
world where the spectators can see
the cars at their highest speed at any
time during their flights about the
track Arrangements will be made to
park 1900 private automobiles.
The promoters say that the general
plan Of the track will insure the safest
high speed racing The plat Of ground
is level, and there will be no fences or
buildings to Obstruct the view Of the
spectators. The parking spaces and
grand stands will be subdivided from
the main grounds by wire fences, max
ing it impossible for spectators to get
on the track at any point
The entire course will be brilliantly
lighted in order that twentyfour hour
record trials may be given. The plans
provide for 42O Independent electric
arc lights furnished with refectors
stationed about the track and arrang-
ed in such manner that the light will
be thrown away from the eyes of the
drivers.

This will he bad news for the Demo
Gratis of his state. He has been elected
three times in succession, and two OF
these times were In presidential years
In 1904 Roosevelt carried Minnesota
by l6l, GEO. and Taft won it by $4,000
in 1908. Yet on each of these occa-
sioas, as also in 1906, Johnson gained
the governorship.
This is a remarkable record. 1t
puts johnson IN the presidential NOM
motion class. As compared with his
victories those of Harmon in Ohio
and Marshall in Indiana are small.
In proportion TO the aggregate num-
Der OF votes cast in those states,
Johnson's victory in 1908 was much
more notable than that Of either of
the two governors who are mentioned
as his possible rivals for the presi
Dental candidacy. While, as already
mentioned, Taft's lead ia Minnesota
was $4,000, it was OILY $1,000 in OHIO
and but 10000 Ia Indiana. Such an
overturn OF votes as Johnson made ia
his state has very rev parallels In
American history,
With Jehnson's retirement from
the scene the Republicans ought to
be able to regain control in the
Minnesota stateheuse, Except as re-
CARDS the governorship Minnesota has

But Johnson brought sweeping
change in local conditions. He was
aided In 1904 by the Republican wran-
gle on state officers, but his victories
in 1906 and 1908 were largely due to
the reforms which he introduced dur
ing HE first term and to the personal
popularity which he gained. In 1908
the Republicans put up their strong
est man against him, but without
avail. As he is apparently sincere in
his desire to leave Office at the end OF
his present term, the Republicans
will have an opportunity to carry the
state Globe Democrat.

OLD HEADS RIGHT.

The senior class found out finally
that the advice given them by Prof.
Myers that they look up carefully
the advisablity of trying to present
the play they had selected, since
it seemed to be copyrighted, before
going to work on it was good. The
classpartially investigated and went
to work on their parts.
Finally, just at the last minute,
they got notice that they would be
prosecuted to the full extent OF the
law should they attemps to put on
the play. Then the class backed
up and selected another play and
are busy at work. The trouble will
make some delay in the presentation.
The young people of this class are
all right but, like most young people,
are liable to be just little impetu-
Gus at times. Then they have been
receiving some very bad advice from
parties with whom they consulted.
We are glad the whole matter is
settled now and the class is working
on a new play. The work done on
the old one was not lost. The class
had enough fun out of it to pay
them for the trouble.

HERE TOO.

We find the following article in
the Kansas City Journal that seems
to apply to US just as well as to

consideration.
1t seems that every time any one
gets a little awry with the city
government he goes to clammoring
for commission government.
We believe it is just as easy to
get eight honest men, selected from
the different wards, to act as COM
cilmen, as it is to get three CON-
missioners selected at large.
