ly passed away. The civil war
has been over long time. This
is new century of other man
ners and new activities. Yet there is
nothing remote about the name and
fame of Lincoln. He. is close to us,
and growing closer. Here. as every
where, the observation OF the day in
creases year by year.
|. The explanation of this cxtraor-
binary fact is at once simple and salts
factory II is that the American peo-
pie never appreciated Lincoln while he
was alive When he was taken away
from us we began to see him as he
was. We are now beginning TO appre-
ciate him.
Many loved Lincoln devotedly while
/ Q Was alive. Others saw that he was
Il thoroughly good man But in general
even those who loved him and those
who trusted him utterly failed to
realize that he was as great as he was
GOOD
The failure Of Lincoln to win the ap-
| probation of those who had every
chance to Judge him seems incredible
TO us now Nevertheless, one may haz-
ard guess as 10 the beiittling power
OF intimacy in his case.

Not word have Republican
papers which raise the cry of "lust
for Office to say about the lust for
spoils so literally doled out by
Rogers during the year he served
as fire marshal.
Besides cutting of the six
"sleuths," the new fire marshal
has put back salaries to the
amounts paid when ID. $. Cream er
was fire marshal. 1t has been
stated that he "cut down salaries.'
This is true in sense. The whole
truth Is that he cut out the "graft
and corruption" and restored the
pay roll as it was when the office
was under Democratic control.
During the two years D. 8.
Creamer was fire marshal, there
were more convictions for arson
than during any preceding two
year period, and Mr.. Creamer
turned into the state treasury over
$ll,O balance above expenses
from the receipts of the office. So
that there is Democratic precedent
for the salary basis fixed by the
new fire marshal as we'll as economy
in the conduct of that department.
Why are those rapid Republican
editors who accuse the governor
of psrtisanship so silent about
these details2 Ii must be because
they feel that they dare not tell
their readers the whole truth.
Governor Harmon has "called their
bluff" He was put there to turn
the rascals out, and he is doing it.
