Speaking of that army, Goodwin
Smith says. In intelligence no army,
except perhaps the Atheuian, can
have ever egualled or approached
that OF the north, Most OF the sol
diers carried books and writing ma
teriaIs IN their knapsacks, and mail
bags hsnvily weighed with letters
we're sent from every encampment.
AS an army it was vastly superior IN
mechanical invention and skill; every
regiment was full OF mechanics. some
of whom could devise as we'll as exc
cute. The ultimate victory Of such
an army was foregone conclusion.
It conquered slavery and reconstruct
ed the union under it's great com-
mander-in-chief, Abraham Lincoln
Fifty years ago Stephen A.. Doug
las lay dying and his death, June s.,
1861, WAS great loss to the nation
that was entering upon its fight for
life. 1t is to be remembered that the
vote for the presidency shows al
most as many Douglas Democrats as
Lincoln Republicans and that IN a
straight out and out campaign with
united democracy Douglas would
have had about one million more
votes than Lincoln
II is to be remembered that the
second shot of the war was fired in
the streets OF Baltimore where the
PiUgugiies rose for slavery, and st
tackled volunteers on their march to
the defense of Washington April 10,
1851. the Sixth Massachusetts regi-
ment was n1obhed in the streets of
Baltimore Had Douglas suIxed IN his
tent, or had he come out against the
war. no man can tell what the result
might have been. But Douglas lined
up with Lincoln, his rival, declared
that the union must be preserved,
and died leaving this patriotic legacy
to the Douglas Democrats who faith
fully oheyed their dead chief and
worked and fought to save the union.
Fifty years ago partyism died ard
patriotism reigned in it's stead
May patriotism always save when
partisanism leads to factionai con-
flicts or sectional wars Fifty years
has passed away asa tale that is
told, and now:

eeriIs Of Progress.

Burlington Havk-Eye. Progress In
invention in recent years has been
accompanied by great peril to human
life. The advent OF the automobile
and the areopiane alone nave been
responsible for many cruel deaths.
Nothing that inventive genius has de-
vlsed has placed the individual so in
tinately near death as these two de-
vices The most spectacular deaths In
history have been those accompany
ing the tests OF the aeropianes
Among the crueiest deaths have been
those Of passengers In automobiles
which have turned turtle or which
have otherwise rushed to their de-
struction Many deaths have been re-
corded in flying machine contests
In a number of cases the onlooke-
has been victim One of the niost
cruel Of these deaths was that record

standard Oil case, Lincoln Stefens.
author and speaker, who arrived in
Portland from California, declar.
ed his belief that the decision
marks the beginning of the end of tns
supreme court and paves the way for
the recall of the judiciary.
II we could have kept track OF the
stock of the supreme court OF the
United States as we did of stock OF
the Standard OIL" said Stefens, eve
"osisc ha.o seen. the minute the de-
ciaon was announced, a most remark,
able fall In values Up to the time
OF the Standard Oil decision. the SUI
PRIME court was a sacred body. sur.
rounded With reverence and myths.
This decision tore the veil. t re
vealed ii as a body OF men no differ
en' from any other men. 1t paved the
way for the recall OF judges.
The Standard decision was ar
independent piece OF legislation un
dertaken by court. Justice Harlan
saw It; the people saw it at once and
the minute they found out the supreme
court was trying to legislate instead
Of enforce laws already made. they
lost faith in the supreme court and the
biggest fight OF the advocates for the
recall of judges and the friends OF
popular government has been won.
