nephew. In conversation with
President Cotter, of the Pere Mar
Quette, he told me that he expressed
his belief TO Mr.. Merriam, his gener-
al solicitor, that the charge would
| be made that Mr.. Shields nephew
was appointed for the purpose of in
fuencing Mr.. Shields. On account
of that belief Mr.. Cotter stated to me
that the appointment of young Mr..
Shields was held up for some time.
| The very fact that Mr.. Cotter feared

the appointment indicated its impro-
priety. / wish to repeat that the

l wish to caution the brewers.
They never can become the political
force in Michigan that the railroads
were. Their organization is direct
ed by some of the cheapest lawyers
and henchmen in Michigan. They
are nearer the end of their debauch-
ing work than they can dream of. De-
cent saloon keepers realize that the
Detroit brewers particularly are
reaping a harvest in dry counties by
shipments of beer into them, and
that they are not any too sincerely
opposed to local option. They are
exploiting both ends of the game.
Just as was the case of the railroads,
If the liquor people of the state do
not rise up and clean house the peo-
will be the cleaning. If the brewers
own Michigan and can destroy its
citizenship for profit, the sooner we
know 1t the better.
l am not a fanatic. I am not even
a total abstainer. But l have tremb-
led for the social structure of Michi-
gan when I have thought of the brew
ery-owned saloon tyranny, the COM
mercializing of the appetites of those
who are weak and deficient, the arti-
fetal stimulation of saloons every
where by brewery interests, and the
frightful results attendant. / am not
a candidate for denomination; but ii
the people wish to nominate me
upon an anti-brewery-domina-

only statement that Mr.. Shields
makes that might be misunderstood.

OUR HEROES ARE
BUT MORTAL MEN
MAYOR GAYNOR PUTS LINCOLN
AND WASHINGTON WHERE
HE THINKS THEY BELONG.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.--George
Washington was a man of good.
sound judgment. but had no extraor-
binary ability: Abraham Lincoln was
great only in his philosophy: the Dec
laration of Independence was not a
heroic document; there was nothing
remarkable about the constitu .ion,
and 1t was no great feat TO make 1t.
These are few Of the asset lions
wdde by Mayor Gaynor today in u
4siucism OF a new book on Washing
ton and Lincoln at the request of the
author.
OF Washington he said:
We think of him as a good man,
who told the truth always, and never
got angry, and suffered ever patient
ly. and was of great justice and ac-
curacy of judgment. but not of gen
ius or extraordinary ability. This is
all In the main true, but, as a matter
OF fact, he was of warm blood and
prone to passion. He Is even known
10 have sworn like a trooper at times.
And his face was pitted, and he had
bad teeth and other physical imper-
ections." The mayor said the eman.
clFation proclamation had almost to
be extorted from Lincoln. and that
he was slow to see that that act would
consolidate and energlze those carry
Ing on the war. He said the Union
generals ridiculed his military ability
and resented his interference. But
I said the mayor, he had more philoso-
ply than all his advisers. and generals
and critics put together. And here
in was his greatness"
The mayor says that several VIC
tories been
laration was signed, and that the doc
ument only recognized existing condi.
tons. or the constitutions:
