calmly 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 through the burning
flames of a struggle from which the ma
ton emerged, purified 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
moment 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 well a painful and vital task.
Power was his, but not pleasure. The
burrows deepened on his brow, but his
eyes were undimmed by either hate or
fear. His gaunt shoulders were bowed,
but his steel thews never faltered as he
bore for a burden 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-blood of the young men, and to
feel in his every fiber the sorrow of the
women. Disaster saddened but never dis
mayed him. AS the red years of war
went by they found him ever doing his
duty in the present, even facing the fu-
ture with fearless front, high of heart,
and dauntless of SOUL Unbroken by ha-
tired, mistaken by scorn, he worked and
suffered for the people. Triumph was his
at the last; and barely had he tasted it
before murder found him, and the kind
ly, patient, fearless eyes were closed for
ever.
Washington and Lincoln.
LAS a people we are indeed beyond
measure fortunate in the characters of
the two greatest of our public men,
Washington and Lincoln. Widely though
they differed in externals, the Virginia
landed gentleman and the Kentucky
backwoodsnan, they were alike in es-
sentials, they were alike in the great

qualities which rendered each able to
render service to his nation and to ali
mankind such as no other man OF his
generation could or did render. Each had
lofty ideals, but each in striving to attain
these lofty ideals was guided by the
soundest common sense. Each possessed
infieXlble courage in adversely and soul
wholly unspoiled by prosperity. Each
possessed all the gentler virtues common
ly exhibited by good men who lack rug
ged strength of character. Each pos
sessed also all the strong qualltles COM
monty exhibited by those towering mas
tiers of mankind who have too often
shown themselves devoid of so much as
the understanding of the words by which
we signify the qualities of duty, OF
mercy, of devotion to the right. of lofty
Observation-Disclosures 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. VIDE
ly though the problems of to-day Differ
from the problems set for solution to
Washington when he founded this nation,
to Lincoln when he saved it and freed
the slave, yet the qualities they showed
in meeting these problems are exactly
the same as those we should show in
doing our work to-day.
Lessons from LincoIn's Life.
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 cooi-headed sanity. We can profit
by the way in which Lincoln used both
these traits as he strove for reform. We
can learn much of value from the very
attacks which following that course
brought upon his head, attacks alike by
the extremists of revolution and by the
extremists of reaction. He never way
cred in devotion to his principles, in his
love for the union, and in his abhor-
renee OF slavery. Timid and lukewarm
people were always denouncing him be-
cause he was extreme; but as a matter
of fact he never went to extremes, he
worked step by step; and because of this
the extremists hated and denounced him
with a fervor which now seems to us fam
tastlc In its dedication of the unreal and
the impossible. At the very time when
one side was holding him up as the
apostle OF social revolution because he
was against slavery, the leading abo-
nt1on1st denounced him as the slave
hound of Illinois," When ne was the Sec
ond time candidate for president, the mas
Jor1ty of his opponents attacked him be-
cause of what they termed his extreme
rad1callsm, while a minority threatened
to bolt his nomination because he was not
radical enough. He had continually to
check those who wished to go forward
too fast, at the very time that he over
rode the opposition of those who wished
not to go forward at ALL The goal was

Jordan Bridge Torn Down.

The old white bridge over the Jor.
dan river near Salt Lake is being dis
mantled.
Built in 1851, four years after the
first white settlement of Utah, for 25
years it was the only dry crossing OF
the Jordan.
The pony express used it in going
to and fro between st. Joe and Cali
fornia, the emigrant trains used it as
they entered on the last stage of their
westward journey, and the Mormon
pioneers used it constantly in going
to and from the lake
The builders of the bridge had
neither nails, rivets nor iron bolts, but
used wooden pegs for fastening to
such good advantage that the struc-
ture has been in constant service for
more than so years.

"BoBBY" WAS so NERVOUS.
He Was Not to Be Agitated, Even by
"Percy, Dear"

IL was moving day for the summer
colony along the North shore of Mas
sachusetts. On the morning train
from Rockport, bearing many we'll
known Bostonians to their town
houses for the winter, rode stormy
old gentleman from the west. At
Pride's crossing family of three
father, mother and daughter-boarded
the train, bearing respectively the
family treasures: One pet poodle. one
gray cat in blue blanket, and one
travelling clock in a much worL leath-
er case. The party had no sooner
found seats across from the western
er, than it became apparent that the
excitement of boarding the train had
caused a commotion among the pets.
The cat was chided for talking aloud.
Calm yourself, Bobby" said his mis-
tress. BE yourself once more-we
are now on our way home" Where
upon Bobby grew calm
The poodle became restless in the
company of his master on seat in
front and signitied his yearning for
Bobby's company by climbing UP the
back of the seat and casting goo-goo
eyes at the Tabby. The sympathetic
mistress understood at once and said:
You may come over here and sit
with us, Percy, dear, on one condition
you must not agitate Bobby"
This was too much for the stormy
westerner. With a loud snort he
reared up, paved his handbag from
the rack above his head, and pranced
into a coach ahead.

never dim before his vision; but he picked
his way cautiously, without either halt or
hurry, as he strobe toward it, through
such a morass of difficulty that no man
of less courage would have attempted it,
while it would surely have overwhelmed
any man of judgment less serene.
Strong Sense of Justice.
''IIe lived in days that were great and
terrible, when brother fought against
brother for what each sincerely deemed
to be the right. In a contest so grim
the strong men who alone can carry it
through are rarely able to do justice
to the deep convictions of those with
whom they grapple in mortal strife. At
such times men see through glass dark
ly; to only the rarest and Hottest spirits
is vouchSafed that clear vision which
gradually comes to all, even to the lesser,
as the struggle fades into distance, and
wounds are forgotten, and peace creeps
back to the hearts that were hurt. But
Lincoln was given this supreme vision.
He did not hate the man from whom he
differed Weakness was as foreign as
wicked to his strong, gentle nature; but
his courage was of a quality so high
that it needed no bolstering of dark pas
sion. He saw clearly that the same
high qualities, the same courage, and
willingness for self-sacrif1ce, and devo-
ton 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 valor and self-devo-
ton, 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 who mastered the mighty
days; the lover of his country and of all
mankind; the man whose blood was shed
for the union of his people, and for the
freedom of a race, Abraham Lincoln"

name another committee to consist
of one member from each voting pre-
cinct. In large counties having a
number of precincts and a large rep
rc~sentataion, the number Of members
of the assembly district committee
would be the result of multiplying the

The act further provides that ZACH

ed at the primaries shall select a
state senatorial committee to consist
of not less than eve members from
each senatorial district To serve four
years.
The congressional nominee then
has the selection of a congressional
