Some people in this community think
it is sin to uphold Socialism, or vote
the Socialist ticket. Socialism aims at
making life joyful, not sorrowful. Life
should be full Of color, OF brightness, of
JOY and of laughter. Socialism aims at
the development OF all our faculties,
physical and mental, to the greatest possi-
BILE extent How few people there are
who realize what magic world this is.
To the majority, bred in gloomy indus
trial bells, the beauty OF moonlit forest
or red dawn has no appeal. To the
majority, the stars are just mysterious
lights in the heavens, for they know
nothing of the marves Of astronomy.
The most astonishing fac. OF our time is
that men and women pass rcugh life
without realizing the wonders and joys
OF it Some OF us are perfectly content
to travel the old-fashioned way, Of our
fore fathers. AS times change. some peo-
pie change not The booze bill of this
nation was greater during the twelve
months from June Both, 1912 to June
Both, 1913 than has ever been known in
the Nations history The enormous
amount If l43, 500, 600 gallons OF whiskey
and brandy flowed down the throats Of
the American people during the last
twelve months Just think OF that. The
church and Christianity have made no
Roadway in stopping the lianor traffic.
Socialism offers the only taue solution to
abolish whiskey. Why not try il?

When 1t came to securing o de-
sign for the Lincoln Memorial-the
Memorial that is evidently to come
true" at last-the Commission engaged
the services of Mr.. Henry Bacon and
Mr.. John Russell Pope, the we'll
known architects OF New York. Each
of these experts. in due course. pre-
pared several complete designs includ-
ing perspectives, plans and models and
the outcome of this competition was
that the Commission chose Mr.. Bacon
to prepare the final design for the
Lincoln Memorial--the design that
should be submitted to Congress for
its approval.
That to design which was finally
accepted Is an admirable one may be
surmised from the fact that the mem
bers of the Commission were unan-
imous In accepting it and in recon-
mending that Congress approve the
construction Of the Memorial In ac-
/ ccrdance with these plans. Architect

Well Known Man Falls From Bridge
and Sustains Fatal
Injuries.

FIT. MADISON, Feb. 1D.-While at

piers at the east side OF the Missis-
sippi river bridge Saturday afternoon,
William Brown, resident of East
Fort Madison and we'll known In this
city, slipped and fell to the ground
below. sustaining fatal injuries from
which he died at his home at 1:15
Sunday afternoon
The object of the man in attempt
ing to climb down the pier is mex
plainable. The discovery of the ac-
cident was made when two residents
OF East Fort Madison in passing over
head on the bridge heard the means
of the injured man below. They sum.
moned assistance and the injured
man was removed to his home where
medical attention was given him
lowering between life and death the
man lived until shortly after noon
Sunday when he expired.

severe concussion of the brain.

the new Lincoln Memorial is bound
to appear impressive in the highest
degree.
The effectiveness Of this tribute to
national hero will be further en-
HANGED by the circumstances that 1t
will almost inevitably be viewed In
association with the Washington Ma
tional Monument and tho dome of the
U. s. Capitol, with both of which It
will be in direct line. Thus on the
great axis. planned over century
ago. we will have at one end the
Capitol which is the monument Of the
government. To the west, over mile
distant from the Capitol Is the monu-
ment to Washington, the foremost of
the founders of the government. And
| now on the same axis, still farther to
| the west and upward of a mile from
| the Washington Monument we will
| have monument to the man who
saved the government the three form
! ing one complete and harmonious
Testimonial of q nations gratitude.
From the very beginning Of his
study Of the subject. Architect Bacon
believed that this Memorial to -Abra-
ham Lincoln should embody -four
main features and he has worked
along this line in evolving his sue
cessful design. The four features to
be thus given emphasize comprise. re-

FIT. MADISON, Feb. 10.-Fire, the
origin of which is not determined, al
most completely destroyed the one

Firemen reaching the scene of the
FIRE within a few minutes after the

The building was owned by Mrs

form OF the memorial could not agree
as to Just where 1t should be located.
Some wanted it on the banks Of the
Potomac; others favored Arlington
Gem etery; third group argued for
site on the grounds of the National
Soldiers Home, and a fourth favored
a location overlooking the city on the
heights OF Sixteenth street, broad
avenue which runs due north from the
White House. There were even some
adherents OF a proposal for placing
| the memorial at the site of old Fort
! Stevens, O Civil War defense located
| five miles from Washington and which
has had its fame perpetuated because
Lincoln was here under fire during the
| raid by General Early in July. 1864.

1 two years ago, or on February 8, 1911,
to be exact. that Congress created a
4 commission to be known az the Lin

and determine upon location, plan
and design for memorial in the city
of Washington to the memory Of

The new Lincoln Memorial Com
