ROOSEVELT TO SPEAK
AT LlNCOLN'S HOME
Will Lay Memorial Hall Cornerstone
at HodgenviIIe, KY, Martyred
Presidents Birthplace.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 1.-Only the
number of persons who can be called
into a great tent will be permitted to
witness near Hodgenville, KY, on
February IL, the exercises commem-
Grating the centenary of Abraham
Lincoln's birth.
Though President Theodore Roose-
velt, Cardinal Gibbons, Bishop Gallo
way, former Gov. Folk and other men
of national importance are scheduled
to make addresses not by any means
will all of those who wish to attend
the dedication be able to be present.
In February, roads leading from
Hodgenville to the farm where Lin
coin was born are not like the Appian
Way, and the short period during
which work has been done on the
farm site has provided no shelter large
enough to accommodate throng. The
Lincoln committee of Kentucky,
therefore, working with the committee
of the Lincoln Farm association, has
bought a tent to hold about 1900
persons and in the center of this the
addresses will be made and the cor.
ner-stone of the memorial hall be laid
by the president.
The program thus far includes the
dedicatory address of Mr. Roosevelt;
address by Gov. Folk as head OF
the Farm association; Gov. Augustus
E. Wilson, on behalf of Kentucky;
Gen. James E. Wilson, for the sol
diers of the union, and Gen. Luke E
Wright, secretary of war, for the sol
diers of the confederacy
Bishop Galloway will pronounce the
benediction and Cardinal Gibbons the
invocation.
Four trains will be run to Hodgen
vile out of Louisville on the day, the
third of which with a five-minute STOP
in this city will bear President Roose

LINCOLN DAY
A HOLIDAY
Gov. Johnson Issues Proclamation
Paying Tribute to Great
Emancipator

Next Friday, Feb. 18th. is the
Tooth anniversary of the birth OF
Abraham Lincoln. In Minnesota
and many other states. the day is a
legal holiday. This centenary of
his birth ought to be be- generally
observed by fitting patriotic exercises,
especially in the schools. Gov. John
son has issued proclamation re-
specting the observance of the day.
In suggesting tribute to Lincoln the
governor SAYS in part:
wherever the American flag
floats, wherever an American heart
is thrilled by the devotion and
patriotism swelling from the crucible
OF a nations woes. wherever the
chords of human love and sympathy
are touched by reverence for the
meek and modest man of sorrows,
there will come involuntarily and
spontaneously tribute of affection
and honor to Abraham Lincoln.
whose prophetic vision foresaw that
this patton. under God, shall have
a new birth of freedom; and that
government of the people, by the
people, for the people. shall not
perish from the earth.'
The name of Lincoln is imperish-
able. He was not born great. as the
heir of great name or of an estate,
yet he was born great in having a
strong intellect and noble heart.
-..''l can name no name of any age
or country that in private and public
life outshines that of Abraham
Lincoln. And in the recital of the
pages of HISTORY. bearing upon the
Civil War. in which Lincoln's fame
was fashioned, Minnesota is given a
conspicuous and an honorable part.
A few of our public men were his
friends and contidants: we were first
to heed his call for volunteers: !:
thousands of her soldiers died on the
altar of sacrifice: some of the crucial
battle charges we're led by her sons. -

Hardships AvaiIed Nothing.

Two Russian sailors, wishing to de-

England, took boat and rowed for the
open sea. They took with them food
and clothing and $500 in cash. The
flood tide set them inshore again and
they tried to land, but the sea was run

their tiny craft was pitched upon the

open and eventually they were ar

The importance of LANGUAGE

The Importance of Languages.
Literature is not only a mirror Of
life as it is, but mirror of life as we
would wish it TO be. A book is not only
meant to state certain facts, and to be
written in certain style, but is meant
to give glimpse of the human spirit
which prompted it.
Here is where languages are of pri-
mary Importance. Through them only
can We get at the human spirit. They
are in other words the instruments
with which we test the expression of
the human spirit as we'll as a means of
understanding the spirit itself.-From
an Address Made by President Wilson
of Princeton.

Determining Physical Condition

DR.. T. M. Rotch has pointed out that

rational basis for determining what

good and t1ourishing business during
the year of 1908. The total receipts

Nov. 10th, we're nearly sixteen
thousand dollars. Just think of it,
$4,000 distributed among the farm
ers, mostly in the towns of Viking
and Numedahl. That certainly
means something. 1t means that we
have little money now and then,
while before we built our creamery
and depended on grain raising only,
we seldom found cent in our
pocket.
1t was shown by the same report
that the average price of butter fat
came but a little below the average
price paid bv the Thief River Falls
creamery. which according to cir
cumstances. is very good result.
The association is now in good
financial condition. and this result
is largely due to the good work of
our worthy secretary and treasurer,
Messrs. John Halvorson and I. M.
Myrbo. respectively. AS all evidence
.of appreciation of their work in the
interest of the association. it was
unanimously resolved to raise their
salaries an even hundred per cent.
Peter Erickson was promoted from
vice president to president of the
association. with John Gustafson as
vice president.

welfare of the association. we're

Big Annual Banquet to
Be Held Feb. 9th.

Ine warren Comm erc1al Club held
It's annual meeting for the election
of officers on Tuesday evening.
During the past year the club has
done great deal of work to advance
the interests of the city and the
country tributary thereto. That
much was CLEANED from the reports
of the various standing committees
submitted at this meeting. As an
Illustration of the kind of work the
club Is doing. may be mentioned
that last spring it prepared and
published pamphlet on clover for
free distribution among farmers.
This pamDh has been the means
of creating great deal of interest
In this important subject among the
farmers of this and adjoining coun-
ties, and to-day the Red River
Valley promises to be, in fact has
already become, the best clover
growing section of the state. In
this and many other ways. the club
has endeavored to advance the agri-
| cultural interests. which are the
foundation upon which the city's
prosperity and growth, must awlays
rest. Good roads, improved markets
| for farm produce. the building of
creameries, the holding of farmers
| Institutes. the promotion of educa-
tion. the improvement of streets
and beautifying of the city. are some
of the subjects considered at the
meetings of the club.
At this meeting the club decided
to give wider publicity to the great
successes scored by Marshall County
farmers in the grain contests at the
corn exposition at Omaha and at
the field breeders contest at Mime
| apolis.
The report of the treasurer was
verv gratifying. there being a
healthy surplus of cash in the treas
| ury.
Proceeding to the election of
officers the members showed their
appreciation of the work done by the
old officers by re-electing them un-
animously for another year. Their

UNExpIoRED REALMS OF THE Law.

How high up into the air does the
estate of a landowner extend, and at
what elevation must an aeronaut fly
in order to avoid prosecution for tres
pass by the resident on terra irma
whose boundary lines he happens to
cross? These questions are becoming
of practical importance in view of the
increasing popularity of ballooning.
Householders object seriously to hav-
ing sand ballast dumped on their roofs
or their favorite cabbage patches. A
few unreasonable persons have regard
ed the fight of balloon over their
premises within rifle range as such an
invasion of privacy as to justify pot
shot at the trespassers. 1t is not likely
that so extreme claim of ownership
in the air would be sustained by any
fair tribunal but the rarity of prece-
dents will make it labor of difficulty
for the courts to define the law of
ballooning.
Somebody will have to do for this
department of the law what has been
done with degree of success for auto
mobile law. A volume dealing with
that subject has been published in
Chicago, and the author, c. P. Berry,
has evidently devoted to his task un-
tagging industry and great powers
of research. The work is divided into
numbered paragraphs, after the man
ner usual in codes of laws, and the
writer has drawn upon history, lexi-
geography and reports of judicial opin-
ions for his materials. One para
graph, wherein the characteristics of
the automobile are described, is doubt
less drawn from personal experience.
In itself the automobile is character
less and harmless, - says the author.
IT is only when human agency inter-
venes that 1t assumes characteristics
x < x as terrifying as they are
dangerous
This comedies almost precisely with
the dictum of Georgia State Court
quoted in another paragraph of the
book. "It is not the ferocity of the
automobiles that is to be feared, said
the court, "but the ferocity of those
who drive them. They (meaning the
automobiles are not to be classed
with bad dogs, vicious bulls and evil
disposed mules and the like" The
inference that the drivers might be
classed with these dangerous animals
is sustained by the authors derivation
of the word chauffeur" The word
is French for burner" and the name
chauffeur was first given to the mem
bers of band of outlaws under the
leadership of one Schinderhannes
(Jack the Skinner), who infested the
Vosges Mountains toward the end of
the eighteenth century. They were
called "chauffeurs'' or burners be-
cause of the pleasant habit they had
of toasting the feet of their prisoners
in fagot fire SO as to induce the vic
tins to disclose their hidden wealth.
One might have suspected the diaboli-
cal origin of the chauffeur. -PhiladeI-
