SALUTE THE G. A. R. BUTTON.

SALUTE THE G. A. R. BUTTON.
The following feeling and patriotic
editorial from the Fostoria (O.) Daily
Times is full of rightful suggestion to
everyone:
Salute the little bronze button of the
G. A. R. Fewer in number, feebler OF
step, grayer of hair, but no less stancb
of heart than when they answered the
call to arms in 81. these men would
prize highly this little token OF respect
if accorded them by the schoolboy and
schoolgirl and the grown-up people as
well. 1t would not be custom of long
duration, fer in the not far distant flu
ture the sight of the broken veteran
hobbling along the street will only be
sad and sweet memory to every patriot
ic citizen. 1t would be one of the most
| appreciative things we could do, in the
eyes of these men who suffered the raw
| ages of war to protect the standard of
the true American home, if we would
lift the hand to the brow when we meet
them on the streets. They remember
we'll when it was a matter of discipline
to lift the hand in salutation to superior
ity, SO would it not be consoling to them
now if we would do the same in the
spirit of undying love and never-ending
respect? Though we had no direct part
in the great war itself, we can show, at
any rate, that we are in accord with the
spirit shown by these men who stood the
test, if we will always recognize them
by this unmistakable token Of respect.
Right hand salute. The button of BRAY

Another Sailing Vessel Passes.

The American steel ship Erskine M.
Phelps has been sold to the Union Oil
Company, San Francisco, and will be
converted into an oil barge. The Phelps

of being the first sailing vessel built in
this country of steel entirely manufac-
tured here. She is of 2, tbs tons net, 312

very smart passages during her career
as a windjammer and her conversion into
a barge is another evidence of the rapid

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL. l
hope you may find space in your paper
for this little clipping. l wish every
boy and girl in the land would read and
ponder it. Sometimes think the fault
lies with teachers and parents that the

what the little button stands for, and
think the only claim to distinction the
wearer has is that he draws pension.

The MI. KATAHDIN RESERVATION

Mt. Katahdin, described in the latest
Geological Soclety's report upon it, as
the grandest mountain in New England.
is vast block of ancient granite round
which the Penobscot river flows in north
ern Maine, dividing at its base. Isolated
by the river valleys which enclose it,
with massive forest-clad shoulders and
deep basins left by ancient glaciers be-
tween them, it faces boldly southwark
rising to the height of full mile above
the distant sea ami making one of the
most striking landscape features in the
East. Around it upon every side, and
stretching unbrokenly from it to the
Canadian border, lies the greatest nat
ural fish and game preserve in eastern
North America; around it also lies one of
the best watered lake regions in the
world, of great extent, linked by delight
full waterways and wooded to the water s
edge.
Wild as this region still seems, the de-
structive tide Of human life is swiftly
mounting into it, and to save the beauty
of this noble mountain, protecting it
forests from wasteful cutting and the
deep burning fires that inevitably follow
it upon such rocky slopes; to protect the
wild life of the region and create great
reserve which will supply the neighbor-
ing regions as this life becomes exhaust
ed in them; and to maintain the even
flow of q great navigable river with i'm
portant opportunities for water power
upon it, Mt. Katahdin should surely be
included among the great park reserves
which the federal government is now
making with wise foresight in the East
and whose relation to the great centres
of population in the country and their
needs must give them in the future an
immense Importance.
A bill for this purpose is now before
the National House of Representatives,
awaiting action. Introduced by Repre-
sentative Guernsey of Maine, it has the
full Endorsement of the State, and, i'm
portant to our whole eastern country as
the opportunity is, this bill should have
the Endorsement also, and the best as
sistance, of all who recognize the great,
present need there is of conserving to
the future the natural resources of the
nation, in beauty, in opportunity for
wholesome recreative life, and in the in
teresting wild life about us.-Ex.

Uncle Sam is trying to make all new
immigrants from Europe get a certificate
from their own governments that they
can read and write and are fit subjects
for citizenship in the United States.
There could be nothing more absurd
from almost every point of view. Those
governments are not wanting such classes
of citizens to emigrate, but they do want
the other sorts Of undesirables to leave,
and the results are foreordalned. The
read and write proposition is also absurd
because all the brighter criminal class
can read. II Uucle Sam thinks the
previous character of incoming immi.

his own consuls make the certificates.

We LOVED LINCOLN.

No other man not even our Savior,
was ever hated and loved by SO many
people rs was Lincoln during lifetime.
Those that hated did it from iguor-
ance and most of them changed their
minds rs they began to know him better
either before or after his death. His
physical make up, his sometimes almost
uncouth manners, his general rough ap-
pearing exterior made certain basis
tor all sorts of innuendoes, epithets aud
caricatures.
And yet he was of the most gentle
and tender Of human beings.
The change Of opinion as the wartime
went on even in the north was most re-
mara.able and it grew from respect for
the Office until it became deep love for
the man.
How deep was this love the people OF
tho present generation or Of any previous
generation can never conceive.
We have had other presidents assassin
ated. we may have others again. Al
most every reader knows how deep the
sensations Of regret and horror stir the
nation at such times. But when Lin
coin died there was an outburst of sor-
row al over the land as if everybody
had lost dear personal friend. Strong
men who had never even seen Lincoln,
stood in the streets of towns and villages
all over this country with tears coursing
down their cheeks. Men were lynched
who dared to make some opprobrious
remark against the man who was lying
dead. Newer was any nation more stir
red to its utmost depths.
But there came q telegram over the
wires from New York, that went to every
hamlet and went to every mans heart,
"God reigns"
Those two words stllled the rising
storm. they brought reason back to it's
throne and the country lived.

could be no more foolish proposition
than the attempt to move the School for
the Blind to Devils Lake.
