QUEER BOOSTER

MT AYOR HARPER. says the Repub-
WI Hcan morning paper, returned
from Sacramento and took up
MS office work where he left it when
he hurried away Saturday to boost for

took strange method of boosting con-
solidation. In fact. but for this expla-
nation by his champion we would have
believed he had been merely guilty Of
meddling and attempted mischief
making at Sacramento.
Boosters don't care to make compro-
misses with knockers and corporation

HOW ABOUT THIS?

DY opposing for the mayoralty a
veteran of the Civil War, a true
and tried soldier and citizen. and
dyed in the wool Republican, and by
supporting for the mayoralty a dis
graced and repudiated Democrat our
morning Republican contemporary is
supplying the people of Los Angeles
with an object lesson in the gentle art
of paradox. 1t was because of the
work Of this paper and the Walter
Parker machine that Harper was elect
ed. Yet it does not want to support
him; and although it says it does not
want to support him it is also opposed
to the recall. and therefore does not
wanted to see him defeated, and it
thinks the best way to break up what
1T calls "the recall game" would be to
defeat the candidate of the recall pc
titioners. It would like to see a
Republican nominated, and by the
nomination of a Republican it hopes
to prevent the success of the recall
election.
What says Agur, the son Of Jakeh =?
There be three things which are
too wonderful for me, yea, four which
know not: the way of an eagle in
the air; the way of a serpent upon a
rock; the way Of a ship in the midst
of the sea, and the way of a man with
maid" And if Agur were in. Los
Angeles today he might add a fifth:
The way Of Republican paper when
it has not been allowed to dictate the
nomination of a candidate to oppose
the candidate for whose presence in
the official position in which he has
made trouble this Republican paper is
in great measure responsible.

Lincoln as He Was.

Friday, February the twelfth, Is the
one hundredth anniversary OF ADra-
ham Lincoln's birthday and on that
day throughout our country the great
est of our American men will receive
tributes of ommemoratiOn. "a
On this significant anniversary
numerous orators will eulogize our
most beloved president, rhetorical
generaiities should be avoided and
those who speak Of him should show
him as the real Lincoln in all his
vast humaneness.
Lincoln was too great to need any
tribute save the naked truth. The
anecdotes ofhim speak to the heart
and mot the imagination. Stories Of
other mems lives may inspire one
to deeds of valor and may waken a
sleeping ambition but stories of Lin
coin appeal tothe heart and develop
the soul part of ones nature.
His life is an emblem of kindness,
his emancipation proclamation is an
intelligent expression of matured
ethical nature.
- The growth of this nature can be
seen in the stories Of his life.
From babyhood sights of suffering
sank deep into his heart and, differ.
ing from others, he never saw sut
teTlaS without making an effort to
relieve It. .4 q slss4
The stories of Lincoln and the
Fledglings, The Pig in the mire, The
Man With the Berries, His Unkind
Client, and his reverence for and
appreciation OF good step-mother
show steps in the growth of his
great and good nature.
Our country has need, of Lincoin's
influence today. According to Theo-
dore Roosevelt, ellis memory is one
Of the hallowed and priceless heri.
tages of all our people"
He is too human, too inspiring to
become blurred in myth and it is
most fitting that this centennial an
niversary be universally celebrated

The First AeropIane
Built BY a Woman.

Typewriter, secretary, lawyer,
aeronaut-Miss Lillian Todd has
been all there, and she tells
about it in the Woman's Home
Companion for November. She
is the first woman who has
built an aeroplane-and she
designed it herself.
From early childhood she has
been interested in machines and
patented a number of inventions.
Like the Wrights, she has work
ed very quietly and perfected
her machine without fuss or
feathers. Her description of
the machine has a feminine
touch.
1.-THE outline of the machine
is original, though very recently
Appropriated abroad; 1t is bas-
ed on a minute study of the
wings of the albatross in the
Museum of Natural History.
The full length of the machine
is forty feet, and the three
planes are parallel in the
curves. / have gone on the
principle that if two planes are
good, three are better, to support
a heavy engine, when the weight
is not materially increased. The
framework is specially-selected
straight-grained spruce. The
wires holding the planes are
the best imported piano wire,
The upper covering of the planes
is of the finest unbleached mus.
lin; the lower, which sustains
most Of the strain, is of seven
ounce army duck. These cover
ings are substantially sewed OF
