yidfng parties and ~re-arranging the
political map of the country. When
the debates were concluded every one
recognized him as the leader of the
cause which he had espoused and it
was a recognition of this leadership
which he had secured through his pub
lie speeches that enabled him, a west
ern man, to be nominated over the
eastern candidate-not only a western
man, but a man lacking in book learn
ing and the polish of the schools. No
other American President has ever sc
clearly owed his elevation to his ora
tory. Washington, Jefferson and Lin
coin n Jackson, the Presidents u.s.
ually mentioned in connection with
him, were all poor scholars.
His Complete Equipment.
In analysing Lincoln's characters
tics as a speaker, n is impressed
with the completeness of his equip
ment. He possessed two things that
are absolutely essential to effective
speaking-namely information and ear
nestness. If n can be called elo-
quent who knows what he is talking
about and mean what he says-and
L know of no better definition-Lin-
coins speeches were eloquent. He was
thoroughly informed upon the subject;
he vas prepared to meet his oppo-
nent upon the general proposition dis
cussed or upon any deductions which
could be drawn from it. There was no
UNEMPLOYED field into which his adver-
sary could lead him, he had carefully
examined every foot of the ground and
was not afraid of pitfan or ambush,
and what was equally important, ne
spoke from his own heart to the hearts
of those who listened. While the
printed page can not fully reproduce
the impressions made by a voice trem-
bling with emotion or tender with pa
thos, one can not read the reports Of
THE debates without feeling that Lin
colin regarded the subject as far tran
scending the ambitions or the person
al interests of the debaters. 1t was
of little moment, he said, whether
they voted him or Judge Douglas up or

TO ABOLISH TREATING
HABIT AT u. OF M.

ANN ARBOR, March'f .--Representa-
tives OF the IL literary fraternities met
with the faculty fraternity men last
night in an attempt to bring about two
reforms-raising the fraternity schol-
arship standards and doing away with
the treating habit In saloons.
One OF the mostp rominent frater-
nifty men among the faculty Is conduct
ing vigorous campaign against treat
ing and 1t is understood that today the
different frats will have plede passed
among their men promising that no
member will either accept or oeffr a
treat from now on.
The apprehension OF the fraternity
members among the faculty Is thor
oughly aroused and they feel that an
active campaign must be waged at
once. for their is a feeling against the
among certain OF the facul-
ty and a feeling that all must recog-
nize as justifiable In regard TO some
of the fraternities.
With the disbanding OF the pipe and
bowl, thep ublicity given the Friars
their being hauled on the car
pet, there has at last come an awak-
ening among the students that the
deans and the older members Of the
faculty are in earnest In their efforts
to do away with the drink evil and to-
compel the frat men 10 keep gtheir
scholarship up TO certain standard.

KAISER is BELIEVER
IN SPIRITUALISM

BERLIN, March 1.-THE kaiser is a
convinced Spiritualist; at least so DR..
Egbert Muller the well-known me-
dunn, asserts in book which he has
just published.
Many of the acts OF the kaiser which
are regarded as peculiar are account
ed for. according To the doctor, by
the emperor's spiritualistic tenden-
cies.
These tendencies. the doctor asserts,
have always been in the Hohenzollern
blood. The kaiser's forefathers have
shown distinct mystical and transcen-
dental ways OF thought.
The author insists that the kaiser
goes even further than merely being
inclined to spiritualism. He con-
sciously accepts 1t as an objective
truth, and even carries in his watch
case fragment Of the garment OF a
medium. This fragment is supposed
TO have certain mysterious virtues and
To inspire the kaiser in many OF his de-
cislons.
