RAILROAD COMPE-
Triton WAR

Spokane, July 30.-Railroad
builders representing the Northern
Pacific, the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound, the Hartman system
and the mysterious North Coast COM
pany, headed by Robert E. Strahorn
of Spokane, are waging a competitive
campaign in Washington, Idaho, Ore
gon, Montana and North Dakota
which gives every promise of at
tracing worldwide attention.
Contracts calling for a total ex-
penditure of almost s45, 100000 have
been awarded or scheduled in the
last three months and there is infor-
nation at hand that not less than
$50,OO0,00O will be added to that
amount as soon as the present work
is completed
Among the contracts already
awarded are the following: BY the
Northern Pacific, $22,75O,000; Har-
riman system. $1O,445, 900; Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound, $5,450,-
600; North Coast, $3,500,000, ex-
elusive of 100000 for terminals
in Spokane, North Yakima and Walla
Walla, Wash; Pittsburg & Gillmour
Valley, $2,5O0,000. In addition the
Milwaukee is planning to expend
100000 on branch line con-
struction in the northwestern states.
The chief battles will be fought in
central Oregon, north and central
Idaho and eastern Washington. The
Hill people are forcing matters by
sending construction crews into So
called Hartman territory in central
Oregon, now without adequate trans
portation facilities, and the compile
ton of one or two lines there will
open a rich district and provide
homes for thousands.
There is also a stiff fight against
the entrance into Spokane of the
North Coast line, now recognized as
part of an important transcontinental
system This line, projected between
Spokane and tidewater, in all ISL
miles, is a thorn in the side of the
Hill people, who, with others have
been successful so far in blocking
plans to give it terminal facilities in
this city, where already more than
100000 has been expended in ac-
quiring station and track sites.

When Brother Fought Brother.

Gle lived in days that were great
and terrible, when brother fought
against brother for what each sincere
ly deemed to be the right. In CON-
test so grim the strong men who alone
can carry it thru are rarely able to
do justice to the. deep convictions Of
those with whom they grapple in mortal
strife At such times men see thru a
glass darkly; to only the rarest ana
loftiest spirits is vouchsafed that clear
vision which gradually comes to all,
even to the lesser, as the struggle fades
into distance, and wounds are forgot
ter, and peace creeps back to the
hearts that were hurt. But to Lincoln
was given this supreme vision. He did
not hate the man from whom he diff
fered Weakness was as foreign as
wickedness to his strong, gentle ma
ture: but his courage was of a quality
so high that it needed no bolstering Of
dark passion He saw clearly that the
same high qualities, the same courage,
and willingness for self f-sacrifice, and
devotion to the right as it was given
them to see the right. belonged both
to the men of the north and TO the
men Of the south AS the years roll by,
and as all OF us, Wherever we dwell,
grow to feel an equal pride in the yalor
and self devotion, alike of the men
who wore the blue and the men who
wore the gray. so this whole nation
will grow to feel peculiar sense OF
pride in the mightiest of the mighty
men VINO mastered the mighty days;
the lover of his country and of all man
kind; the man whose blood was shed
for the union of his people and for the
freedom of . race, Abraham Lincoln"
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1909-02-12

we signify the qualities of duty, OF
mercy, of devotion to the right, of lofty
disinterestedness in battling for the
good of others. There have been other
men as great and other men as good;
but in all the history of mankind there
are no other two great men as good
as these, no other two good men as
great. Widely tho the problems of to-
day differ from the problems set for
solution to Washington when he
founded this nation, to Lincoln when
heS saved it and freed the slave, yet
the qualities they showed in meeting
these problems are exactly the same
as those we would show in doing our
work today.
Saw Far Into Future.
"Lincoln saw into the future with
the prophetic imagination usually
vouchsafed only to the poet and the
seer, He had in him all the lift to-
ward greatness of the visionary, with
out any Of the visionarys fanaticism
or egotisln, without any Of the Wis
ionary's narrow jealousy of the prac-
ticaI man and inability to strive In
practical fashion for the realization
of an ideal. He had the practical
mans hare common sense and wiling
ness to adapt means to ends; Dul
there was in him none OF that NOR
bid growth Of mind .and soul which
blinds so many practical men to the
higher things of life. No more pcac-
tical man ever lived than this homely
backwoods idealist: but he had moth

men whose consciences are warped tn-

good and evil, fail to Understand that

Hodgenville, KY, Feb. 12.-The
centenary of Abraham Lincoln's birth,
celebrated generally thruout the coun-
try, partook of general significance
here because of the address at this,
the place Of Lincoln's birth, by Pres
ident Roosevelt. President Roosevelt's
tribute follows:
"We have met here to celebrate the
hundredth anniversary of the birth of
one of the two greatest Americans;
Of one of the two or three greatest
men of the nineteenth century; of one
of the greatest men in the worlds his
tory. This rail splitter, this boy who
passed his ungainly youth in the dire
poverty of the poorest of the frontier
folk, whose rise was by weary and
painful labor, lived to lead his people
thru the burning flames of a struggle
from which the nation emerged, puri-
fed as by fire, born anew to a loftier
life. After long years of iron effort,
and of failure that came more often
than victory, he at last rose to the
leadership of the republic, at the mo-
ment when that leadership had become
the stupendous world-task Of the time.
He grew to know greatness, but never
ease. Success came to him. but never
happiness, save that which springs
from doing we'll a painful and vital
task. Power was his. but not pleas
ure. The furrows depeened on his
brow, but his eyes were undimmed by
either hate or fear. His gaunt should
ers were bowed, but his steel thews
never faltered as he bore for bur
den the destinies of his people. His
great and tender heart shrank from
giving pain; and the task allotted him
was to pour out like water the life

Can Study Lincoln With Profit.
1--WE of this day must try to solve
many social and industrial problems,
requiring to an especial degree the
combination of indomitable resolution
with cool-headed sanity. We can profit
by the way in which Lincoln used
both these traits as he strove for re-
form. We can learn much of value
from the very attacks which following
that course brought upon his head at
tacks alike by the extremists OF revo-
luton and by the extremists OF reac-
tion. He never wavered in devotion
to his principles, in his love for the
union, and in his adherence of slav-
cry. Timid and lukewarm people were
always denouncing him because he
was too extreme; but as matter OF
fact he never went to extremes, he
worked step by step; and because OF
this the extremists hated and de-
nounced him with a fervor which now
seems to us fantastic in its deif1cation
of the unreal and the impossible. At
the very time when one side was hold
ing him up as the apostle of social
revolution because he was against
slavery. the leading abolitionists de-
nounced him as the slave hound of

new form. Frederick Weyerhaeuser. ef

Retailers in Combine?
The price. they say is high because
of an agreement among retailers by
which competition is suppressed. The
manufacturers have been loath till now
to come into the open and make this

Toxic, Feb. 12.-Lengthy cables, con-
veying from correspondence in Amer
leo news of rejection Of anti-Japan-

islature, have been received here, to
the intense satisfaction of official and
business circles. The publication Of
this information, together with the ex-
pressions of favorable opinion by Pres

several states, has greatly improved
the situation. Leading Japanese pa
pers today printed editorials on the
outcome of the affair, and Americans

lieVed.
