view Of the century, dealing extensive
" with the Panama canal, the develop
ment OF California and the countries
around the Pacific. 1t is written IN at

and social progress.
The author, who has published many
other valued works, West American

Mexico The New Pacific" etc. has
gone into the review he now completes
exhaustively and keenly. and from the
standpoint OF observation and deduc-
ton has given 10 the student of the

Congress Seeking Lincoln's Exact Words in
Gettysburg Speech

ed by him for a soldiers and sailors
fair at Baltimore. 1t reads:
-Four score and seven years ago
our fathers brought forth on this con-
tinent new nation, conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the PROPOSE
ton that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great
civil war, testing whether that ma
ton. or any nation so conceived and
so dedicated. can long endure.
I'VE are met on a great battlefield
of that war. We have come TO dedi-
cate a portion of that field as a final
resting place for those who here gave
thslr lives that that nation might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and prop
er that we should do this. But, in a
larger sense, we cannot dedicate
we cannot conservative cannot hal
low this ground.
THE brave men. living and dead,
who struggled here have consecrated
it far above our poor power to add
or detract.
The world will little note, nor
long remember, what we say here;
but it can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for US. the living
rather to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus so far nobly
! advanced.
1T is rather for us to be here dedi
/ Gated to the great task remaining be
fore us, that from these honored dead
we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last
full measure OF devotion; that Ee
here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain; that this
nation, under God, shall have a new
birth of freedom, and that govern
ment Of the people, by the people
for the people, shall not perish from
the earth. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

GOVERNOR DUNNE's HONESTY.

Governor DUNES course in the per.
picking political situation at Spring
field has been marked by sincerity
and honesty. the cordial virtues that
have always illuminated his public
career.
The governor is anxious that the
expressed will OF the people be re,
spected in the election Of Colone.
James Hamilton Lewis to the United
States, proposition in which all good
democrats agree, and must agree. and
insisting that Colonel Lewis be given
the long and not the short term.
Illinois went overwhelmingly dem
ocratic in the last election, and is
fairly and honestly entitled 10 two
democratic senators TO represent the
state in Washington. so that Governor
Dunno is justified in holding that the
democrats be given, not the little end
OF the deal. in any compromise thai
may be made.

THE PROMISE OF WILSON.

Notwithstanding Woodrow Wilson's
new book. THE New Freedom" is no
more and no less than a compilation
OF his campaign speeches. it is receiv.
ing attention in some quarters not
given to his utterances before his
election to the presidency. The rea-
son for this is. no doubt that there
are many incredulous ones who as
sumo a candidate to be insincere be-
fore election and sincere only after
election. These doubters. needless TO
say. have yet TO learn the true charac.
ter OF the president-elect, which ad.
mits no room for duplicity.
What Mr.. Wilson purposes TO do
and pledges himself and his admins
tration TO accomplish are set out in
this order by him:
The smashing OF the trusts-the
money trust first.
Wrestling control OF the govern
ment from the big interests"
which is really a part OF the trust
busting" program.
Reduction Of the tariff in the
way that will most hurt the trusts.
but not with the idea OF free trade.
Direct election OF United States
senators.
The establishment Of the initia-
tive and referendum and the re-
call OF administrative officers. He
says he has never favored the re-
call OF judges.
Direct primaries for all nomi-
nations.
The elimination OF political
bosses.
And the elimination Of Theodore
Roosevelt and his theory OF trust
and government partnership.
The trust which will first receiv,
the presidentele,t's attention is tn,
money trust because Mr.. Wilson re
CARDS il as the greatest menace o.
our times. He gives his word TO the
gentlemen in this trust as TO thu

lChicago Record- Herald. }

Who has the text of the original
draft of Abraham Lincoln's Gettys-
burg grafton? Such a document is
being earnestly sought by those who
have become annoyed over protests
that there are inexistence too many
versions of the speech, and particu-
larly in view of the fact that the ad-
dress is to be inscribed On tablet in
the Lincoln memorial to be erected in
this city.
Senator Root introduced and had
adopted a joint resolution authorfz,
ing the senate committee on library
to ascertain and determine and give
the senate the correct version of
this memorable address. Accompany
ing the resolution was a letter Mr.
Root had received from Colonel John
p. Nicholson of Philadelphia, com
mander in chief of the military order
Of the Loyal Legion of the United
States and chairman of the Gettysburg
battlefield commission.
Colonel Nicholson declared there
we're more than 100 versions of Lin
coins Gettysburg address.
Even congress has printed it in
correctly twice" wrote Colonel Nichol
son, who suggested that If the speech
was to be made part OF the Lincoln
memorial a true version should be
used
Colonel Nicholson forwarded &c
Senator Root a copy OF the address
he had received from Robert T. Lin
! coin, a son Of the martyred presl
dent II was referred to the committee
on library TO decide whether this was
a correct copy OF the address.
The commonly accepted text OF the
Gettysburg address appears in the

I am not one OF those who pray
For every blessing earth can yield;
My wishes are but few, and they
Are far too fair to be concealed;
I do not wish for boundless wealth;
A competence would give me Joy;
I have a modest wish for health,
And for the glad heart of a boy.
I wish to live IN peace somewhere.
Secure from turmoil and from strife,
A lady who is young and fair
And sweet and patient for my wife:
I wish to have il fashioned so
That 1 may work or be at ease,
With liberty to come or go
When and however I may please.
] do not wish to rule or sway
Where men contend for leadership;
would not be a Morgan, say,
With all things resting In my grip;
I do not wish TO drag men down
That I may loom above the crowd;
merely wish for such renown
AS might make any good man proud.
My wishes are but few, you see,
And very modest ones. withal;
I am net longing selfshly
To run things on this mundane ball:
Good health. a beauty for my wife,
Ten thousand year1y-guaranteed-
Peace. honor. freedom and long life,
And 1 shall be content, indeed.
