THOUGHTS OF LINCOLN

We are those that should profit
by the Lincoln day aud the Lin.
coin memories. Thought Of him
should not end with nightfall on
his birthday. We again ask You
to read some Of Lincoln's actual
words. To know the man We must
know what be said and thought,
not merely what others say Of him.
The guiding thought in Lin
coins mind was the actual right
Of mon 10 be free-free from CON-
troll by other men. This thought
was in his mind very early, when
no worked his way down the river
and saw the slaves and the poor
whites, worse than black slaves.
Here's sample Of his thought:
What l do say is that no man
10 good enough to govern another
man without that others consent.
l cay this is the leading principle,
the sheet anchor, Of American re-
publicanism." Over and over
again he emphasizes that idea

RELIGIOUS cREEDs

Bishop Kane, of Wyoming, gave
a course of lectures in Denver last
week which was we'll attended.
The question box was an interest
ing feature.
Regarding Freemasonry the
bishop answered:
Some one wants to know why
u Catholic cannot be a Mason.
For the same reason that he
cannot be Mormon. | do not
want to compare Mormonism to
Masonry, but we cannot be a
Catholic and something contradic-
tory to it
Masonry is form Of philoso-
ply and it is surely form of re-
ligion. 1t has its ritual; it has its
specific creed; il has its high
priests and it has too absolute a
control over the individuals"
The only Masonic creed is the
brotherhood Of man and belief
in supreme architect Of the uni
verse. If that is a creed it is
broad enough to embrace every
religion Of earth
Masonry supports no high
priests nor salaried officers. The
man who lives up to the teachings
Of Masonry has religion good
enough to live by and dies in the
hope of glorious immortality.

NO TABERNACLE
FOR G. A. R.

The Billy Sunday tabernacle
must be torn down Immediately fol-
lowing the close of the meetings
which end this week. This was
the decision of the board of public
works when committee of the G.
A. r. appeared and asked permits
sion to use the structure February
~ for the Lincoln Centennial cele-
bratiOn.
The board is inclined to assist
teh Grand Army, If possible, but
under the terms of the special ord
nance it must be torn DOWN i'm
mediately after the revival. The
only hope for the committee is to
secure the sanction of the indivic-
ual councilmen and at the same
time the permission of the PROPERTY
holders adjoining the tabernacle.
These latter have received notice
that their insurance rates will be
raised.
The board stated that the Sun
day forces violated their agreement
in the construction of the building
and that the seating arrangements
are not in accordance with those
promised.

trap" said one of the board, land

closing the gates. This was deem.
ed advisable, but the emergency
was anticipated where there might
be fire or break in the pumps
which would necessitate an i'm
mediate use of river water. The
final judgment of the board was
that the ordinance should be pass.
ed making it a misdemeanor to
open the intake from the river
without the sanction of the board
of health. The board expressed its
displeasure over the outright dis.
obedience of it's order made three
months ago that no water should
be taken from the river, andl held
that the ordinance was the only
certain means of putting a stop to
the practice.
Mr.. Ralston then spoke up for
the first time and stated that the
condition of affairs in turning river
water into the we'll was unthinka-
BILE. He insisted that we'll water
could be used to prime the pumps
and this opened long discussion
in which the engineer and Mr.
Wetzel participated. The letter
held that owing to the location Of
one of the intake pipes in the vel
and the fact that the nearest pumr
had leaky foot valve it was diff
d! cult to start it. and when 1t sdid
start it jerked the gravel from be
hind the wall in the well ant
would eventually result in the col
lapse of the well. This was dis
puted by Ralston and his assistant
Mr.. Grant. The necessity of re
pairs to remedy the evil seems
not to have occurred to Mr. Wet
eel.
The water was getting too deeI
for the board and without fHrthel
ceremony the meeting broke up
Mr.. Wetzel during the course OF
the session took Mr.. Ralston t.
task for failing to report the con
dition of things at the well to him
earlier.
Mr.. Ralston replied that he had
done SO within "a hours after shc
received positive proof.

the hypothetical question to be
fred at the medical experts in the
Gauyette case by the defense, an
agreement was reached at noon
and the question framed to suit
both sides.
The question covers seven type

witness for the defense was DR..

He was one of the commission

RED AND YELLOW OF
SPAIN IS HAUNTED
San Franciscans Hold Banquet te
Discuss Means for Observing Gen.
tenary of Governor PortoIa's
Administration

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-For
the first time since the Spanish Amer
lean war San Francisco banquet hall
was profusely decorated with the Span
ish red and yellow tonight, when more
than a hundred representative busi-
ness and professional men of this city
gathered in the colonial room OF the
ST. Francis to discuss ways and means
for a centennial festival commemora-
ton of the assumption of the first gov
ernorship of California by Gaspard de
Portola, which is to open here October
10 next.
Addresses were made by Mayor Tay-
lor of San Francisco, Mayor Taylor of
Alameda, Walter Macarthur, a promi-
nent union labor leader of San Fran
cisco; Ernest A. Simpson, managing
editor Of the San Francisco Call, and
Edgar A. Peixotto and Joseph d. Red
ding of the San Francisco bar.
Governor Gillett, who was announced
as the chief speaker of the evening,
sent word at the last moment that he
could not be present.
At the close of the dinner tableaux
were given representing Spanish scenes
in the early days of California, when
Gaspard de Portola sailed into San
Francisco bay with his Spanish gall
Icons and claimed the land as prov
ince of the Spanish king.
Spanish, Mexican and American ma
tional airs were rendered during the
dinner by an orchestra stationed in a
balcony, while attendants, CARRIED in
the costume of Spanish bull fighters,
waited on the guests.

lie, accompanied by Chief of Police
Craig of Sharon, called up Chief Kohler
today to arrange the details of prose-
cutting Boyle and his wife. Mr.. Whitla
said he would lend every effort to this
end, and expressed his desire to work
in harmony with the officials. Whitla
also checked UP the $9S4S taken from
Mrs. Boyle. He identified the bills and
their WraDpings as those he prepared
for the kidnapers and which he paid
over in the little east end candy store
last Monday.
The county authorities have waived
their rights to James Boyle and his
wife under the indictment for black
mail, and the prisoners were taken to
Pennsylvania tonight.
That James Boyle, who with his wife
is under arrest here in connection with
the kidnapping of Willie Whitla of
Sharon. Pa, is not a stranger to the
methods of the police is the belief of
the Cleveland authorities.
Reports from other cities indicate
that he has been in trouble before.
Dispatches from East st. Louis tell of
Boyle being arrested at Springfield,
ILL.,, about a year ago on the charge
Of uttering false mortgages. The ar
rest was requested by the East st.
Louis police, but the case was dis
missed with no prosecution.
Mrs. Whitla, the kidnapped boys
mother, has issued a statement warn
ing mothers to take precautions to pre-
vent the abduction of children. In her
statement she says:
"Mothers should teach their children
never to accept candy or money from
strangers. Children should be forbid
den to go the length of a block with
any unknown person and mothers
should tell their children that if a per-
son should attempt to take them away
by force they should scream"
