That is true only from a very narrow
point of view In broader sense an
intellect not blinded by resentment can
see Lincoln participating today in the
affairs of our nation; aye, perhaps more
than he did while he occupied the White
House, for the posthumous influence of
truly great man often accomplishes
that which his living effort failed to
realize. Christ is gone from among us,
but we are not doing without Him, nor
can we do without Him. The very
contemplation of His character develops
manhood and purity of life.

IMPORTANT r. r. RULING
interstate Commerce Commission
Says State Rates Must Be Uniform.

The interstate commerce commits.
sion, in an opinion made public, es.
tablished the far-reaching principle
that railroad must SO adjust its
rates that Justice will be done be-
tween communities regardless OF
state lines. IF a railroad makes a
low rate upon tariff wholly within a
state, even when forced to do so by
state commission. it must accord
the same rate to interstate traffic
moving under substantially similar
conditions.
The principle was laid down by a
vote Of 4 TO 2 The minority held
that The powers OF congress were
usurped by the majority opinion and
that the remedy for such a situation
should be applied through additional
legislation. The decision was in the
case OF the railroad commission of
Louisiana against the st. Louis &
Southwestern railway and other car
rlers operating between Louisiana
and Texas

Block Of Lake City Stores Burn.

An entire block OF business houses
in the heart Of the town. on the ear
side of Main street, was destroyed
by fire with loss OF $4,000.
In all eight stores were destroyed,
all being OF frame construction, and
burning fiercely because Of the fact
all but two water hydrants in the
town were frozen. and they being SO
far away from the scene Of the fire
they were useless. 4 water supply
procured from other sources. however,
saved other buildings in the vicinity.
No night Waterman is employed by
the town and the fire secured good
start before ID was discovered by n
business man living over one Of the
Inflated stores. The fire department
was called out but was able to make
little Roadway with It's primitive
equipment against the flames.
The fire practically means the wip-
ing out of the town as all but two of
the business men who suffered losses
have announced they do not intend TO
rebuild. The origin OF he fire is not
definitely known, but II is thought il
started from detective stove in one
OF the stores
