Lincoln and Temperance

In early youth, Lincoln. In boyish
speeches, fiayed the scourge Of drink.
Later when he was 80. this is what
he said:
THE world would be vastly bene-
fitted by total and final Punishment
from IT OF all intoxicating drinks"
He did not lose his reason merely
because his convictions were intense:
Too much denunciation against
dram.selers and dram-drinkers was
INDUCED IN IL is not much In the ma
ture OF man to be driven To anything y
Observe, Lincoln was pleading for
"entreaty and persuasion" toward tenn
perance as against the laundering
tones OF anathema and denunciation 80
The same belief in the vast harm OF
drink. tempered. however. by the pow
or to see all sides of mans complex
nature. existed at the height at his
development. Thus we find him In
1863:
"lntemperance Is one OF the great
est. IL not the very greatest. OF all
evils among mankind.
He added
The mode of cure is one about
which there may be differences OF
opinion p" pS

the prohibition cause? The brewers

dian wheat crop, and the hopes en-
tanned of regulating the same by flu
lures:
The subject of grain futures is for
the first time in the history of India
occupying the minds of those in crest
ed to any considerable extent in wheat.
The immense wheat crops of northern
and northwestern India have already
proved too large for the handling ia
cifities of Karachi, and of the rail-
roads as well, when moved almost in
mass 10 market The inconvenience
and the losses that result from the.
impOssibility Of properly housing
wheat awaiting shipment have sug-
gested the adoption Of some method of
distributing exports over longer pc
riod. 1t is urged that the forma ion of
a market in wheat options would OBJ
viate the present conditions and
would provide for the handling of the
vastly increased crops of wheat tina

Tract Is Said to Be E1ost Valuable in

Railroad Facilities.

SALEM, Ore, March 30.-Work on
an irrigation project embracing from
twenty to fifty thousand acres Of land,
some within IA miles of Baker City,
will be started Immediately. For weeks
the state engineers office has been
working secretly on the plans The
land biard has asked the United States
gCxCr4ment to withdraw The tract
no.. c...y so that it will be available.
This Las already been done. 1t is not
decided whether the tract will be re-
claimed under the Carey act or by
government reclama- ion service. The
tract is one of the most valuable in
eastern Oregon because it has slight
elevation and ready transportation ia
ciliies. Different parties of capitalists
have app led for the reclamation of
the tract with private capital The first
was w. A. Thatcher and E. S. Cook
the second was j. A. Admiral,
and A. B. Jacobs, representing he
