New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1909-01-27

oNioN' tended to be pol
iticians. We do not sufficiently dis
criminate. We are too sweeping in our
denuncia lions. Because some religion
lists are hypocrites is no reason we
should abuse religion. We might as
well refuse to accept money because
there are counterfeits in circulation or
resolve never to sit again If one chair
happens to break under us. Some of
the best and most public spirited men
in our history have been politicians
They have not been the criminal varie-
ty of politician, however. They have
been the sort Of politicians that are
wise generals in political campaigns.
To this class belonged Lincoln.
Make no mistake about his shrewd-
ness, farsightedness and ability as
tactician. In the struggle with Doug
las he not only got the better of his
opponent in debate, but outgeneraled
him. He was playing to beat Doug
las for the presidency. He did not
count on getting the senatorship for
himself or on gaining anything for
himself. Lincoln was politician, but
not a selfish one. He looked the sit
uation squarely in the face, decided
what was best for his party and the
country and fought for that, regard
less of the effects on his own fortunes.
The difference between Lincoln and

man endeavor it is doubtful if
all the previous centuries saw as great
changes as have taken place in that
single century. The age of steam was
then in it's earliest infancy. Watt had
watched his teakettle and invented his
engine, it is true; Fulton had made his
steamboat traverse the Hudson and
was in that very year, 1909, taking out
his patent, but George Stephenson was
then laborer and was only dreaming
of his locomotive, which was not to
materialize until five years later. Thus,
while the use Of steam as motive
power was barely known, the marvel
GUS revolution to be wrought by it
had not yet started.
AS for electricity, it was only a sci
entific curiosity. AS far as any prac-
teal employment of it was concerned,
that did not come till years later. In
1909 water and horsefesh were the
chief motor powers; boats, wagons and
stagecoaches were the almost exclu-
sive methods Of travel; candles and
tallow dips were used as illuminants;
there were but few newspapers, and
these small and poorly printed, and
letters were infrequent, voluminous
and cost much for postage. Only
small percentage of the population was
educated, dueling was in vogue, slav-
cry was in existence on both sides
of the ocean, there was little democ-
racy or liberty anywhere except in
America, and about the only things
that were as they are now were love,
death and taxes. Yet that was only
a hundred years ago, barely life
time for some people. Truly, the world
moves. 1t took it long time to get
into the habit, but it is 'going some"
now.

known were Europe, a fringe of land

Diggers seem to like the Columbus
field. on their first appearance here
they batted like fends and their sec
ond coming was in no wise different.
Hits came when needed and there are
times when another hit or two would
have made the game appear lop-sided.
The Marion crew opened up in the
second and showed over the first run
of the contest Two more followed
in the fourth and in the seventh the
last Digger was annexed. The two in
the seventh were helped along by
clout to right that ordinarily would
have been good for but base. Miller
lost the ball in the sun and It went
for a triple. two scoring.
Doc Abbott was one of Lewis prin-
cipal registers afleld. He was play
ing his first game as Digger and did
mighty well. Abbott took his usual
station in right while Chief Will
liams was sent to left, making an out
field that is really hard one to beat.
Joe Lewis was clever whenever
danger impended. That cross fire
had his opponents with one foot in

men during the early nineties James
Pilkerton. for many years the cham
plon sculler of America. was matched
to row double against another team.
He and his mate were the champions,
and the general belief was that they
would win without effort. But the
night before the regatta public opinion
suddenly and mysteriously changed.
Mr.. Pllkerton knew that this was not
caused by any new development OF
strength In his opponent or any loss Of
skill on his own part After making
some quiet inquiries he discovered that
there was talk OF his rowing mate hav-
ing been bought up by the other side
and of an arrangement to throw the
race.
He didn't say anything about his sus-
picions, but when the two men were
seated In the shell and were well out
into the deep water he leaned over to
his mate and said:
Look here, you blooming cutthroat.
You've get 10 swim. drown or win this
race! You know mel! He won.

any club that ever represented Ma
rion before.
The meeting was an informal one
Arrangements were made for the
printing of tag tickets and any one
not properly tagged will be subject
to approach on any old occasion,
hence the wise ones will buy early.
TO help out the cause many young
ladies' have offered their services and
tomorrow they will be on the streets

they chance to meet.
Loyal fans of the opposite sex have
taken tickets and are selling them
every place. No one is being allowed
TO escape having the opportunity to
contribute dollar to so worthy a
