Abraham Lincoln on Capital and Labor.

Labor is prior to and independent of cap
ital. Capital is only the fruit of labor and could
never have existed if labor had not first existed
Labor is the superior of capital and deserves
much the higher considerations Capital has its
rights, which are as worthy of protection as
any other rights Nor is it denied that there
is, and probably always will be, relation be-
tween labor and capital producing mutual bene-
fits. The error is in assuming that the whole
A few men own capital, and that few avoid labor
themselves, and with their capital hire or buy
another few to labor for them. A large ma jority
belong to neither class-neither work for others
or have others worl. for them. The prudent
penniless beginner in the world labors for
buy tools or land for himself then labors on
his own account another while, and at length
hires another beginner to help him. This
is the just and generousand prosperous system,
which opens the way to all, gives hope to ALL
and consequent energy and progress and inn
provement of condition to all. No men living
are more worthy to be trusted than those who
toll up from poverty; none less inclined to take
or touch aught which they have not honestly
earned. Let them beware of surrendering a pol
litical power which they already possess, and
which if surrendered will surely be used to
close the door of advancement against such as
they and to fix new disabilities and burdens
upon them, till all of liberty is lost. (From
Lincoln's First Message to Congress)

Irrigating the Lodge Pole Valley.

c. f. Colburn, a civil engineer, and w. L.
Kemp, of Denver, were here looking over the
storage reservoir project that has been talked
of for some time. They were looking for reser
vor sites and expressed themselves greatly
pleased with the lay of the land. Mr.. Colburn
said that they would next make a preliminary
survey to determine sites for reservoirs on both
sides of the Valley; probable cost of the work
and the amount of land that could be irrigated.
AS soon as this data is availeble, meeting of
the resident property owners interested will
be called to decide whether or not the work
tshaff Be donv' too early 10 say much re-
garding this but seems that there can be only
one way of looking at it. If after making sur
veys and determining that the land on either
side of Lodge Pole Valley-say from Sunol to
Chappe-can be irrigated at reasonable cost,
it certainly will be done. This plan will bring
the bench lands and slopes under irri CATION
and supplement the present valley irrigation by
reaching many tracts that are now beyond the
reach of water thus making the entire valley
from hill to hill susceptible to the highest state
of cultivation. We haveth best soil for potato
or sugar beet growing to be found anywhere,
nearby markets and unequaled transportation
faculties and if the survey shows that we have
sufficient water to irrigate the ground,
the Lodge Pole Valley will soon be one
of the garden spots of the west.-Lodge Pole

DR.. Carnine Will Visit the Holy Land.

DR.. Carnine, presiding elder of the Greeley
district of the NJ. E. church, left Denver last
week and will shortly embark from New York
for an extensive tour of the Old World. His
objective point will be the Holy Land, buthe will
also visit Spain, Algeria and Greece on his way
over and southern Italy, Rome and England on
his return trip. Views of the places of note
visited by him will be used in Stereopticon
lectures after his return home. This is Dr.
Carnnes second trip to Europe and his lecture
"Afoot and Alone in ireland" was prepared
after his return from his first visit. During his
term as presiding elder of this district DR.
Carnine has endeared himself, not only to the
people of his own church, but to all with whom
he has been associated.

The Nebraska Legislature.

One month of the three usually devoted to
the Legislative session has gone by and the
members are only around the first bend in the
track, with the quarter pole in sight, so far as
actual work is concerned. The anti.Japanese
question was made an issue in Nebraska as it
has been for some time in the assemblies of the
Pacific coast states. Jerry Howard, represen
tative from Douglas county, introduced in the
house of representatives his bill to segregate
Japanese and Chinese laborers from American
workmen. The measure provides the Japanese
and Chinese must not work in company with
white men and must not be employed in the
same building The legislature is having a hard
time trying to regulate the size of bed sheets.

ONE MORE ON REV. HOUGH

Another letter received from G. E. Alexander, of
Chanute Kansas regarding the alleged conversion of NJ
d. Leahy stated by Rev. George A. Hough the Epsco-
pal preacher of San Francisco informs that Mr. Leahy
did any time speak, lecture work for the Chris
tan religion but reeraes his former statement that NJ.
d. Leahy died 'rm in his atheism. 1t will be recalled
that Rev. Hough stated that after his alleged conversion at
Great Bend Kansas by lady evangelist in the privacy
of room, Mr.. Leay labored to undo the 'evls he had
previously DONE and thereafter until his death preached
throughout the southwest Christ and him crucfed
1t now due from Mr. Hough that he places and
dates whereat and when Mr. Leahy did these things as
stated by him. and give the of the lady evangelist
who is said to have converted him. Surely the conversion
of the irs president of the National Freehought Uni
versty is such light incident that the name and
personality of the converter be conveniently forgotten

Under the doctrines of the orthodox Christian Church
the very existence of this republic is baphemy against
its god
Priests and preachers pulpit and pew, each have vehe-

especially favored of the Christian god that has usurped
the place of Canaan the promised land and each loudly
claims as his own To such these, however, the

Tt has been said that the clay has rights IN the hands
of the potter which the potter is bound to respect Man
being but clay according to Christian theology in the
hands of almighty potter according TO the same
theology can have rights which the almighty potter is
bound respect thereby reducing man to the status OF
mere puppet in the potter hands This doctrine means
the utter destruction of human rights The logical sequence
of such an argument is that born prisoner lives
prisoner and dies prisoner. Hence this republic must
either be mistake or its existence is in opposition to

natural rights of man, the great dignity OF human nature

THE BLUE GRASS BLADE.

The intimate personal friendship that existed between Mr.
Alexander and Mr. Leahy ought to put the former in
position to know the facts while Mr. Hough admits in his
first letter Mr.. Frantz that his information was based
only upon hearsay testimony With the facts have
at hand and the confessions of Mr. Hough we conclude
that he has been powerful reckless with the TRUTH but
do not anticipate that he is possessed of sufficient moral
courage to inform his credulous congregation that he
either mistaken or had wilfully told an untruth.
Up to the hour of this writing have heard augh
concerning the professor" who converted with Mr.
Leahy, by the Gladly evangelist and at the time
and place. said to be in Commercial College in
Denver Failing in this respect again led to the
conclusion that in order to exrcae himself from big
sized hole, Rev. Hough has furnished authority the
of fictitious person. dead If any nforma
ton is furnished shall be glad to correct the opinion
here expressed
Enough facts at hand to explode Rev. Hough and
his grand stand play and the Blade is satisfied with the
investigation far it has gone. We would be pleased
however, obtain further light the subject would
delight in exposing the lack of truth in Christian
preachers. t.L J

ISLAND PEOPLE IN
SAN FRANCISCO ROW

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept TT was
an anxious quarter of an hour for
Manuel Perez and Mrs. Lenor Gamar-
ra in the. chambers Of Judge Thomas
T. Graham today while they waited
the decision of the court as to whether
they might marry.
The party arrived, accompanied by
friends, and were usbered into the
room. Perez is attached to@he Span
ish Club and can not speak a word of
English, although he has resided in
San Francisco for two years. Mrs.
Gamarra is similarly equipped as a
linguist, and an interpreter was re-.
Questioned.
Through this third party, Perez in
formed the court as to who he was
and his Importance in the world. Mrs.
Gamarra did the same thing, but incl
dentally mentioned that she had been
the wife of a sugar planter in Hawaii
until four months ago, when she was
divorced in Honolulu and Immediately
sailed for San Francisco.
The court is one of the best posted
officials on California divorce laws in
the state, but, offhand. he knew moth
ing of the Hawaiian laws.
The court called up the law library.
1t took several minutes to look up the
Hawaiian law and during this time the
parties TO the proposed contract were
on the anxious seat. They held con
t'nued conversation in their native
tongue and their faces wore an
anxious look.
Then the telephone rang and the
court answered. Law Librarian Owens
communicated The result of his investi-
CATION. Under the Hawaiian law a Sec
ond marriage might follow immediate
~ after decree of divorce had been
entered

smiles, they stood erect and left the

Bumptious Petty Officer on the
Mongolia Keeps Breckons
Off the Vessel.

The bumptiousness of a petty officer
on the Pacific Mail steamship Mongolia
last Sunday morning, nearly cost the
Togo Kisen Kaisha one thousand dol
lars, and, had United States District
Attorney R. W. Breckons not been
patient and broad enough to distin.
guish between a ease of swelled head
and gratuitous insult by the Pacific
Mail, the agents for the japanese COM
pany would today have to walk into
court and plank down the thousand
dollars as forfeited bail money.
Preckons and his little daughter went
down to the wharf Sunday to see the
steamer sail with the Congressional
party. AS they made their way up the
crowded wharf several people informed
the United States District Attorney
that Mr.. Klebahn of Hackfeld & Co.
was very anxious to see him and was
to be found in the purser' s room of the
Mongolia. Mr.. Breckons good natured
ly decided to obey the summons and
approached the gangway to go aboard.
He was stopped by an important quar-
termaster. "Who are you and what
do you want?" the latter demanded.
q Are you a passenger on this ship?"
"No, I'm not a passenger. replied
Breckons. ~ m only the United States
District Attorney, but Mr.. Klebahn
wants to see me aboard. -
"Well, you can't go aboard, see7''
retorted the polite official who is hired
to look after the wants and welfare
of the eompany's patrons. tsGet out
of the way"
And Breckons got. Came other ex-
cited employees of the steamship com
pany with urgent messages from the
shipping agent for him TO come aboard
at once. "No, thank you,o replied
Breckons, I IN very comfortable where
l am And he leaned back against a
pile Of freight and waited develop
ments.
They came in the substantial shape
of Shipping Agent Klebahn, who, after
explanations had been made, apologized
profusely for the rudeness of the quar-
termaster, and then went and made
few pointed remarks to the latter that
caused him to shrink visibly. He had
had the idea that he was insulting only
one of The People instead of an i'm
portant official of the United States
Government and man whom his boss
particularly wanted to see.
1t developed that the Hongkong Maru
was approaching port, and being equip
ed with wireless apparatus such as
Mr.. Schwerin has discovered to be only
a playthng for the passengers, had sent
in word to the agents that. he wanted
to go straight on to the Orient instead
of being obliged to stop. But the last
time the steamship was through here,
a member of the Oriental crew escaped,
contrary to the laws and statutes of the
United States, and Captain Smith was
technically arrested and placed under
bonds of $1,000 to appear before the
Court on September 81. Captain Smith
did not want to appear on that date,
and wanted his agents here to arrange
with Mr.. Breckons to continue the case
until his next trip.
Breckons could have refused to do so,
but he didn t. And when the matter
comes up in court this morning, he will
move for continuance as requested.
