ILLINOIS ANTI.PRlMARY MEN TIL
PARTY TRAITORS.

ILLIfNSIo NV ''-''
PARTY TRAITORS.
The Oregonian's war on the pri
mary law leads it into displays OF
ignorance that are astounding in a
paper as wise and perfect as 1t
claims to be.
It's comment on the political situa
ton in Illinois is case in point. In
an editorial, January IA, it praises
Governor Charles s. Deneen as man
who did his duty; was not "pli
ant executive" but one whom the
local bosses couldn't run"
That is all true as gospel.
The Oregonian goes on to tel
how faction of Republicans have
joined hands with the Democrats
the organization of the Illinois house
elected Edward d. Shurtleff speaker
and are In q combine to count ou
Deneen.
This Is true.
The Oregonian then says 1t is the
reformers in the Republican party
who are in the combine and are op
posed to Deneen. It lays all the
blame on the primary law which II
says was pushed through by the
Shurtleff faction In spite of Deneen
ct al.
Not word of 1t true.
The Shurtleff faction and every
Republican opposed to Deneen were
machine men, most of them from cor
rupt wards in Chicago. They have
always opposed Deneen because he
sponse to the general desire of the
people of Illinois succeeded in get
ting the primary law passed, the cor
ruptionists headed by Hopkins, Lori
mer, Shurtleff and other bosses, big
and little, swore vengeance on him
They are the ones that are party
traitors and will 60 to any length to
kill Deneen politically. The reform
ers" and primary men are the true
blue party men In the Illinois fight
and are standing by the honest gov
ernor.
1t is the same everywhere, in Ill
inois, Oregon and Wisconsin,, and all
the lying by any paper, no matter
how big and influential it is, cannot
change the truth. The Oregonian
has admitted, even glories In the fact
that 1t was the bosses and their fol-
ioWois VIM are oppooVu W homha-
tons by the party rank and file, who
defeated Fulton, nominated Cake, so
the latter would be defeated by
Chamberlain, and then-nearly year
ago-concocted the scheme of per-
fidy and di shonesty to bulldoze, buy or
wheedle enough Statement No. leg
islators to defeat Chamberlain--and
all to bring ridicule on the primary
law.
That's the kind Of party traitors
the principal part of the primary op.
position is made up of in Oregon, III
inois and everywhere.
The Republican party, any party,
Is better off with such traitors out of
It permanently. The Oregonian, as
the mouthpiece OF that class, has
served notice. in recent editorial.
that unless the primary law is re-
pealed that paper and all who be-
iieve with 1t, will desert the party
forever.

DID HE Die IN VAIN?
To us the centenary celebration

10 US the centenary celebration of
the birth of Abraham Lincoln is sad
dened by two thoughts. Abraham
Lincoln struggled for two great prin-
ciples. and for them he gave his life.
The first of these was the preserva-
tion of the Union and the final over
throw of the pe-nicious doctrine of
states rights.
But estates rights lives and is
upheld by many leaders and today
the very peace of the Nation is
threatened by the reckless insolence
of states rights as exercised in Cali
fornia.
The second was the Emancipation
of the Slave and the recognition of
the brotherhood of man. And yet in
Springfield. Lincoln's home, the col
ored man is denied participation in
the celebration of Lincoln's birth.
Did Lincoln die in vain? Has the
conscience of the Nation outgrowr
the great truths for which he battled

ONE OF GODS SAINTS
Mrs. Jacob Fegdy Of Nevada, Dies While Wis.,
iting at Seattle, Washington.

Every resident of Denison in the
days of 1866 will bear witness to
the fact that Mrs. Fegily. the wife
of the Methodist pastor was certainly
Zone of Gods saints" These will
be interested to know of her death
at Seattle on January 10. where she
had gone from her home at Nevada,
Story county, on account of her
health. Rev. Jacob Fegtly and wife
were of the old time pioneer Metho-
dists of Iowa. They knew what
sacrifices, suffering, privations for
the sake of the gospel of Jesus meant.
Even as late in their active ministry
as when stationed at Denison. they
lived in an old house on the site Of
the residence now owned by Mr.. Kirk
up. having to keep two stoves going
night and day to have the living room
comfortable. Through every such
hardship the faithful, noble, christian
wife of the pastor remained consecrat-
ed to her work. She filled every re-
sponsibility of her position. At the
home were four children who were be-
ing schooled in the f : humble
living. and nch', .nc1ng
action, to fill most worthy position in
the world. These children were Ed
ward. who became minister in the
M. E. church and is now in the
work at Des Moines; Samuel, who
has become successful lawyer in
Chicago; Carrie. who married Mr.. j.
R. McCutchen Of Nevada and Bird,
who married Mr.. e. NJ. Harrington
of Nevada. AS Rev. Fegtly and
wife filled their part nobly in life,
looking ahead to the richness of re-
ward in the life to come in spiritu-
al sense. SO they did in material
point of view. Back in 1854 Mr..
Fegtly had come to Iowa and to Story
county and bought of the government
at ST.. rs per acre section of land
and year by year it became valuable.
So they knew that in time their wants
in this world would be provided.
Mrs. Fegtly was over 70 at the
time of her death. Her parents came
from German stock. Their parents
had been driven to free America to
gain religious liberty. Mrs. Fegtly
grew up in q humble cabin in an
Ohio clearing with high ideals of life
and duty set before her. She was
