LINCOLN
BOYS TO COME
Throughout Country Districts There
Is Great Call for
Dictionaries

The boy Lincoln. as everybody knows
who has read the First Reader. was ae-
customed to walking many miles to Dor
row a book to study and return 1t the
same day. The exercise was no doubt
beneficial, and the effort made in acQuir-
ing knowledge certainly played its part
In the character building of the great
emancipation. But the country boy today
Is not doing any Marathon stunts in
search of learning.
He merely clips six consecutive coupons
from The Washington Herald, puts them
in an envelope with postage and the ex.
pcnse bonus for the brand of binding he
wants. and gets by return mail that
library in one book cover-the New Mod
ern English Illustrated Dictionary, plenty
of material for burning midnight oil and
acquiring greatness
Present indications are that there Is a
glorious harvest of greatness preparing
tricts. The untold thousands of New
Modern Dictionaries have not been con-
sumed by the cities alone. Many thou
sands have gone to the country districts.
The accuracy and truthful detail of the
colored plates in the dictionary, illustrat-
ing poultry. dogs, and cattle, are a most
attractive feature.
The Herald will send its dictionary any
where.
This dictionary has been revised and
brought up to the present date in accord
ance with the best authorities from the
greatest universities.

The currency bill was the subject Of dis
cussion at Mondays conference between
President Wilson and the newspaper men
The President believes that inasmuch as
either the government or the bankers
must dominate the board of control Gre
ated by the new currency law, that it is
better for the government to control. He
sees no danger In such a course, and he
intends that this feature be one of the
fundamental principles of the bill and not
subject to amendment. He believes that
the measure win prove popular after the
prejudice wears away, just as the Inter-
state Commerce Commission has become
popular The reason for not retiring the
national bank notes is that they have
become part of our currency system,
permanently fixed. The new issue Of

will only be used In cases of need.

Reports about American Smelling and
Refining Company and conditions of its
mines and smeiters in Mexico are ex-
agEerated. according to company's off,
cials here Smelling operations in that
country are now close to 20 per cent of
normal. but mining end Is not showing
up so well. Earnings so far this year
are considerably below last year, but
show nothing like decrease currently re-
ported. In view of difficulties met with
in Mexico this year, results have been as
satisfactory as could be reasonably ex-
pected.
Hartman & Co.-The order Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission was
somewhat misunderstood, as We look at
II, and, of course. the railroads have
been turned down for immediate increase
in freight rates, yet they are nearer an
increase than they have been at any
time, because we feel positive that IL
the Interstate Commerce Commission on
expert examination. in view of the in
crease of the firemen and the engineers
as we'll as the double crew, will appre-
ciate that II means such an enormous
increase In the running of these roads
and with the credit that the roads need
for additional Improvements, We thisk
the railroads will get some kind of an
increase while they only ask for per
cent. they probably will be satisfied with
anything they get.
Technical weakness aggravated by the
foreign situation again. Apparently the
real trouble In the market is that some
interests. or some people, are loaded
with some unmarketable securities, and
the weakness is more likely due to this
reason than anything else.

Of New York. Although this decision
comedies with the tax appraisers ex-
pressed belief that General Grant was
not a resident OF New York, Surrogate
Fowler declared the appraiser had no
power TO determine the place OF domi-
Gle. but should have referred the matter
70 the Surrogate's Court In the first
place.
The decision was given on the appeal
OF the State Controller from the exemp-
ton by the appraiser. The Surrogate de-
cided that the State Controller had failed
to prove his contention as TO General
Grants place OF residence, as necessary
in n case OF this kind The estate Of the
general was appraised at about 100000
Surrogate Fowler said: THAT the State
of New York has concurrent jurisdiction
with the federal authority in some In
stances at Governors Island does not

less federal territory. That citizen or
the United States may now have fed
