FAVOR OF GOVERNOR
State Executive Gives Sup
port to Sale of Christmas
Seals in the State
TO ACCOMPLISH MUCH GOOD

Governor McGcvern in u letter to
the Wisconsin ti-Tuberculosis Asso.
ciation,in which he urges the people
of Wisconsin to generously support
the Red Cross Christmas Seal Cam
paign, heartily endorses the plan of
extending the campaign against other
contagious and preventable diseases.
His letter, which is one Of many re-
ceived by the association, IS offered
as logical expression Of the argu-
ment for expansion. The following is
from his letter.:
Your association has my hearty
approval in the contemplated enlarge
ment of the scope of its work. The
vigorous campaign carried on for
years against tuberculosis has educat-
ed the people in the necessity for
wholesome living as well as curative
treatment. Many of the lessons learn
ed in the prevention and cure of tub
erculosis can be advantageously APP
piled in the warfare against all con-
tagious diseases. In fact, sacre is
conclusive evidence that the general
public health has been materially
benefited by your work in checking
the ravages of tuberculosis.
I take pleasure in ne commanding
your association to the confidence and
hberality of our people. Your enlarg-
ed purpose will, without doubt.
strengthen the appeal and, as coa.
sequence, add appreciably to the sale
of Red Cross Seals.''
Very truly yours,
(Signedy Francis E. McGovera.
Governor.
The sale of seals will begin Nov.
goth. Local managers have been ar
ranged for in practically every com.
munity in the state, and plans have
been laid for selling four million seals
! in Wisconsin.

LincoIn's Farewell.

In his farewell address to his fell
low townsmen at Springfield, ILL.,
on setting out for Washington,
February fl, 1861, Lincoln said.
My friends, no one, not in my
situation, can appreciate my feel
ing of sadness at this parting. To
this place and the kindness of these
people ] owe everything. Here
have lived a quarter of century,
and have passed from a young to
an old man. Here my children have
been born and one is buried. | now
leave, not knowing when or Wheth-
or ever | may return, with task
before me greater than that which
rested upon Washington. Without
The assistance of that Divine Being
who ever attended him, | cannot
succeed. With that assistance,
cannot fail Trusting in Him who
can go with me, and remain with
you, and be everywhere for good,
let us confidently hope that all will
yet be well. TO His care commend
ing you, as | hope in your prayers
you will commend me, | bid you an
affectionate farewell"

DEMOCRATS PASS
REVISION MEASURE
Progressive Republicans Vote with
Standpatters Against Chemical
Tariff Schedule-Vote
f7S Against 127.

Washington. Feb. 2i.-Republi-
cans Of the house today presented
practically a solid front against the
passage of the Democratic tariff
revision bill, the so-called insurg-
ents and progressives voting with
the regulars and stand-patters
against the Underwood measure,
which was passed by vote OF f7S
to 1877.
The bill was under discussion by
the house as a committee Of the
whole throughout yesterday, but
was not amended, despite the nu-
merous amendments offered by the
Republicans. Republican Leader
Mann and other Republican repre-
sentatives attempted to show that
the bill raises the tariff instead OF
reducing it.
The chief attack on the measure
was based on the Democratic plan
of raising the duties on raw ma
terials and lowering the duties on
finished articles.
1T is our contention" said Rep
Iresentative Harrison" that the
revenues should be taken out of the
large profits of the manufacturer
and this should not be passed on tc
the consumer in the shape of
raise in prices"

There remains the question of
the recall of judges. One OF the
ablest jurists in the United States,
veteran in service to the people,
recently wrote me as follows on
this subject:
Judges have set their rules
above life. Like the Pharisees Of
old, they have said, THE people be
accursed, they know not the law
(that is our rule). Courts have re-
peatedly defeated the aroused NOR
al sentiment of a whole common
wealth. Take the example Of the
st. Louis boodlers. Their guilt was
plain, and in the main confessed.
The whole state was aroused and
outraged. BY an instinct that goes
to the very foundation of all social
order they demanded that the gull
ty be punished. The boodlers were
convicted, but the Supreme court
of Missouri, never questioning their
guilt, set their conviction aside on
purely technical grounds. The same
Thing occurred in California. Nero,
iidding over burning Rome, was a
patriot and a statesman in com
parison with judges who thus trille
with and Illustrate the aroused
moral sentiment OF a great people,
for that sentiment is politically the
vital breath of both state and ma
ton. It is to recall the administra-
ton of Justice back from such
practices that the recent agitation

II was Lincoln who appealed to

Lincoln was often found walking
through the woods or by The river.
He muttered TO himself and seemed
unconscious of his surroundings.
His friends feared he was on The
verge. Of madness. Finally one OF
them took him to his home ON the
edge Of the settlement and kept
him there in quiet until his grief
was somewhat assuaged, and until
he gained mastery over himself
again. But often he iourneyed to
the little cemetery to weep over her
grave.

Two months after Ann Rutledge 5
death John McNamar drove into
New Salem in a covered wagon,
bringing with him his mother, then
a widow, and his brothers and Sis

he sent no word was a mystery. He
went to the tavern and learned OF
AIMS death. Within a year he
married another woman.
81 later life, when Lincoln's ser-
row had become only memory, he
told a friend who questioned him;
y really and truly loved the girl,
and think often of her now.
There was pause, and then he
added;

1t is impossible to invent consti-

The judges associations and sur
roundings were such that they had
no conception of the cruelty and
wrong their decisions caused and
perpetuated Their prime concern
was with the empty ceremony of
perfunctory legalism, and not with
the living spirit of justice. A typ
ical case was the decision rendered
few months ago by the court OF
appeals of New York, declaring un-
constitutional the workmens' COM
pensation act. In their decision
the judges admitted the wrong and
suffering caused by the practices
against which the law was aimed.
They admitted that other civilized
nations had abolished these wrongs
and practices.
But they took the ground that the
constitution Of the United States,
instead of being an instrument to
secure justice, had been ingeniously
devised absolutely to prevent JUS
lice. They insisted that the con-
stitution had permanently cursed
our people with impotence to right
wrong, and had perpetuated a cruel
iniquity; for cruel iniquity is not
too harsh a term to use in describe
ing the law which, in the event Of
accident, binds the whole burden
