ione hunderd and four. years have
elapsed since sthe birth Of: two famous
eftiaractersA Lincoln and Darwin. Both
wer bonn on the same day and their
genraI traits were similar! They were
gentle. generous and humane, yet they
hated intensely tyranny and bigotry in
ali forms. For years after Darwln's
famous theory was published, HIS name
was spoken with the fiereest hate and
scorn all over the uncivilized world:
vet no word OF bitterness escaped his
lips. His published works did more to
change the course of human thought
than any agency OF modern times.
One of the sublimest thoughts he ever
uttered was the following: mo man
can stand in the depths of o BrlzIl1au
forest and not feel that man is tmmor.
tai" We once saw a picture showing
Darwin by forest tree, with squirrels
playing upon and about him. We
thought, that demonstrates that sqlil-
rels know and appreciate nobility and
genius, and that is more than can be
said of thousands OF DaRHin's critics.
As for Lincoln, his name and fame will
forever be a source of wonder, graft.
tude and inspiration. Ever since the
scope and grandeur OF his accomplish
ments were realized, mankind has felt
the inability or language to describe
aud define the majesty of his charac-
Ter in all its blended beauty. We
would not assert that his high sense
of honor was altogether due to the
literature he loved and studied. He
appears TO have inherited a tender
heart and all honest disposition that
was proof against all the perlls OF vice
and environment He looked over all
political Quarrels and sectarion squab-
bles, and with Il broad vision surveyed
humanity with n percision so exact
that flaws were rarely found. 1t may
be appropriately said Of him, as was
said of Burns
His teachers we're the torn hearts

The tyrant and the slave,
The street, the factory, the jail,
The palace and the grave"
Lincoln was never afflicted with that
terrible mental malady known today
as dignity. 1t was not necessary 10
put on Prince Albert coat and false
countenance in order to approach him.
He measured men by what they were,
not by what they we're not. He knew
what liberty was and he was always
on speaking terms with common sense.
! He did not believe in mental or physl.
,cal slavery. He was not coward, and
Therefore was nto afraid to read and
Investigate any quetsion. II he did
not love his enemie, he approached
that position as near as any mortal, aud

efforts TO make this an emancipated

sented; today lie is not thoroughly un;
lderstood, but let us believe and hope
that those who live in future years
will comprehend and appreciate the
principles that animated the heart and
;hrain OF Abraham Lincoln.
In support Of the above we may be
pardoned for quoting the opinions Of
three famous Americans, Ingersoll,
Watterson and Beecher. lngersoll
said. "The memory of Lincoln is the
strongest, tenderest tie that binds all
hearts together now, and holds all
States beneath Nations Flag. Lin

WALTER JONES GOES
BEFORE GRAND Jury
Testimony of Convicted
Slayer of Rowan With
held From Public

Montgomery, February 10.-tSpecial.)
Walter Jones. under death sentence for
the murder of Sloan Rowan at the
Union station last June, was wit
ness before the Montgomery grand
jury today. What he said no one not
connected with the grand jury knows,
but rumors are that his story was n
sensational development in favor of the
states contention that Rowan was
killed as the result of a conspiracy.
1t has been reported that Jones re-
fused to testify at previous sessions,
standing upon the right granted by
the constitution. Rowan was mer-
chant at Benton, Bowndes county. and
was killed on Western Railway of
Alabama passenger train while on the
way to Selma after appearing before
the grand jury here Jones father. j..
H. Fielder and Henry F. Nandiver are
under Indictment for murder in the
same case and when they are tried the
state will attempt to prove that Jones
and others conspired TO kill Rowan SO
he could not appear against them In
arson cases in Lowndes county.
Jones was guarded by four deputies
heavily armed while he talked TO the
grand jury lie was carried from the
county Jail early in the afternoon and
spent several hours in the grand jury
chamber. What he said no one has au-
thority to say and the story Will never
be known. Jones was convicted last
July and is awaiting a decision of the
supreme court in his appeal case sub
mitted soon after he was declared gull
~ of murder.

Washington, February 10.-(Special.)-
Probably no question before the American
people has been so widely discussed, both
by orators and the press and there is
probably no problem of legislation--if 1t
Is problem of 9egislation-in which the
public is so keenly interested and so
keenly alive as the high cost of living.
Everybody, in all walks of life, is in
terested, from the man who earns his
daily bread by the sweat of his brow to
the man who controls the operations of
big industries. The mechanic, the artisan,
the merchant, the professional man and
the legislator, all realize that the cost of
living has rapidly advanced over what
it was only a few years ago. and is still
advancing.
The constituency at home need have no
fear that his representative at the national
capitol will forget it. 1t hangs like grim
spectre over the representative himself,
and is constant reminder to him of the
needs of his constituent. The cost of liv-
ing in Washington is in the midst of
Congress all the while. Years ago con-
gressmen could live much cheaper and
still keep up with the procession than they
can today.
In the Old Days
Then when their salaries were in the
neighborhood of $1,000 per annum they
could live very comfortably and save a
little for the next campaign; now their
salaries are approximately 5000, and the
demands upon them are constantly grow
ing. Washington is a great city, and it
is absolutely necessary for q congress-
man or a senator to live in manner
BETTING his station, and unless he has
private means at the end of the year his
balance looks like the bank roll of an
outspoken clergyman.

TOBACCO COMPANY
INDICTED BY JURY

Henderson. KY, February 10.-A special
county grand jury today indicted the I'M
perial Tobacco company of Kentucky and
the Imperial Tobacco company of Great.
Britain on charges of combining in re-
stralnt OF trade. This action came after
representatives OF the Stemming District
been trying to come to terms on selling
price for 25O00,Oo0 pounds of pooled to-
bacco. Charges that there was a reason
for the similarity of prices Offered, about
IA cents, resulted in the grand jury be-

live at Congress Hall. Congress Hall is
a small but rather pretentious hotel on
Capitol hill; it is convenient to the House
office building and convenience costs
money. couple of nice rooms with a
private bath and meals for two may be
had at Congress Hall for from $3.50 TO
$22o per month. 1t is also convenient for
congressman to take a constituent for
a meal, and in these times when there are
a few constituents dropping in every now
and then this cuts no small figure.
Representative Dent has apartments and
takes his meals out Representative Hef-
lin lives at the New Narnum, right next
door to Congress Hall, and Representa-
tive Taylor keeps house. Representative
Hobson also keeps house, and owns his
own home at 2l17 S street. MIR. Hobson
entertains great many visitors, and
while he lives modestly. he declares that
he has forgotten what his salary voucher
looks like; it is gone before he realizes it.
There are no very rich men among the
Alabama delegation, and most of them
at least must live within their salaries,
and for them to do so in Washington there
is little danger of them forgetting or over
looking the fact that the cost Of living
is a great problem
There are a good many rich men in Con-
gress who never feel it, and cannot real
ize it. Representative Gardner of Massa-
chusetts, for instance, has three secre-
taries, who draw the major part of his
salary. He lives on his private income.
as he is many times millionaire. Sen
ator Crane allows his secretary to draw
all of his salary in addition to his own,
but Senator Crane is reputed to be the
richest man in the Senate, even richer
than Senator Guggenheim.
