Lincoln An
By NEIL MACDONALD.

iatiOn.
AMONG the noblest Of our race
n Our Lincoln stands the peer Of
all,
With fame the years cannot eface
While home and freedom men en-
thrall.
With face illumined with the light
Of greatness, Lincoln sped his way,
Resolved that freedom and the right
Throug bout our country should have
sway.
When troubles dire assailed the land
Gods self appointed man appeared
To lead and lend helping hand,
To save the fabric freedom reared.
Warm hearted, true, Of soul sincere,
A man Of rare, heroic mold,
With confidence, unmoved by fear,
He held intact what dear we hold.
Yea, more than this, with sword and
He struck at CALLING time worn gives
Which had enslaved race Of men
And hope enthroned in countless

from the attempts to secure title to
the rich potassium lands of the Searles
bed, which is blanketed with claims
filed, the majority of them under the
placer law (I6o acres each), but these
filings may become valueless by prior
agreement, to combine after patent has
been obtained, so as to have a large
enough area for a plant for refining
the salts. 1t is in recognition of this
clouded situation that Mr.. Taft or
dered the Withdrawals of the three
sections mentioned, in order to give
security of tenure to whoever may
wish to develop the deposits, but Sub
ject to all rights lawfully initiated un-
der any valid mining locations made on
such lands"
In concurrence herewith, and to
show the good faith of the government
in ordering the Withdrawals, the In
terror Department is drafting a law in

condition. This draft will be submitted

desert basins OF California and Ne

Of his administration, which. accord

Geological Survey, are said to contain
valuable deposits of potassium salts

well-known Searles Lake. and Pana-

stretch of water of days long gone by,
which has dried up. concentrating a
great amount of salines and minerals

War Secretary Garrison's Plans.

Mr.. Garrison. in his first declaration
OF the policy OF the War Department,
shows a clear grasp OF the purposes
of the army and cvinces no disposition
TO adopt the programme outlined by
certain of his party leaders, notably
Mr.. Hay, the chairman of the House
Military Committee We notice also
that the new Secretary is even more
emphatic in expressing his views than
Gen. Wood. when-thoush disavowing
that he is Il. militarist-he states that
with mobile force of less than 5000
men we are mot even prepared to be
prepared"
MIR. Garrison proposes to provide for
a reserve OF trained officers and men
which he means to obtain by a seven
year term OF enlistment. with the pro-
Ni-o, however. that each soldier is to
have the option OF returning 10 civil
life after two wears OF active service
with the colors lie would also make
Tux Ndilplidl N'l'tlu lllblt ny
thus bringing an army OF trained Of
rcer> aud men into intimate contact
with il. Lastly, he would create vol
unteer force which could be trained
while the regulars, the reserves. and
the National Guard were i'll the field in
response to Il first call to arms.
The wisdom OF creating a powerful
and efficient reserve force is so obri-
Gus that opposition to it cannot main
tam itself for any length OF time. 1t
is understood that the executive officers
at the head of the several departments
will be expected to act independently in
the molding OF their policies. and it
is safe to expect, therefore. that any
"t Mr.. Garrison, recommendations
will have the support OF the President.

A Lost Branch of Our Commerce.

Our cattle export is thing of the
past. Not a single shipment abroad
has been made in the current year. and
very little during the last six months.
This has been principally caused BY the
process of refrigeration which has done
away with the shipping of live cattle.
but our expectation Of dressed beef
also is declining. and Europe is getting
its supply from Australia, New Zea-
land. and Argentina.
This decline is attributed to the par
ceiling out of the mammoth Western
ranges with the introduction of aeri--
culture out there and the increased
settlements of colonists. Besides, meat
prices have been steadily rising, but
the farmers do not derive sufficient
profit out of it to induce them to in
crease the cattle production.
In the six years from 1906 to 1912,
according to official reports. the num-
Der of cattle (other than mich cows)
has decreased by 100000 head. AT
the beginning of this year there were
a full million head less than a year
ago. In ten years the number of sheep
also has declined some 100000. Only
swine increased up to last year, but
there is reported decline since then.
Even in that field the larger supply
failed to keep prices down.

Plan to Eliminate the legislature.

The message OF Gov. Hodges of
Kansas to the Legislature of that
State. urging that that constitutional
body proceed to eliminate itself by an
amendment to the constitution, though
radical even in all extraordinarily pro-
gressive period. has been barely given
space in the national press. And vet
the idea of the ultraradical executive
of the Sunhowe, State is not exactly
new one. and has been broached in
various guiSes before. Plans for sim
plifying State governments have been
heard more than once recently. But
this is the very first time that direct
proposal. with that end in view, has
been made by the chief magistrate of
one of the States to the Legislature
Gov. Hodges pronounccs the legisla-
tive work provided by the constitu-
ton antiquated He tells the legislators
In a short session of fifty days YOU
are required to study and pass upon
with which this must be done neccs-
Sarily must result in a number of crude
and ill-digested laws, which often puz-
zle learned JuristS to interpret.
Now, we admit that this presenta-
ton of his case is unassailable, whether
applied TO Kansas or TO any other
State. And anticipating that the Leg
islaturc will think as he does, the
Governor asks that that body shall
abolish itself by the submission OF an
amendment for that purpose substitute
ing another chamber consisting OF sin
teen members 1.-TWO from each Con-
gre>sional districD, who shall devote
their entire time all the year around to
lesisIatc for the State
Such a change. if carried through,
would mean the retirement OF los Off
cials, as the present Legislature there
is composed of 10 Senators and I25
ASSemblymcn. Besides, it would great
ly reduce the clerical force There
would be a considerable saving in sal
aries, too. All that. however, would
be merely a small consideration when
compared with the benefits to be en-
pectcd from men chosen with regard
for their knowledge. ability. and ex-
perience i'll dealing with public ques-
tons as substitute for the traditional
short-term partisan Legislature
The whole plan smacks after a COM
mission form OF government, and, if
the people OF Kansas in reality are
after good government. they could
much more easily get it through the
workings OF small, than a large,
body of legislators, provided these men
would devote themselves entirely to the
welfare OF their State And it tends
to demonstrate that it is the people
who must eventually rule. because
small body could legislate better and
could he controlled much better than
I65 men.
This is democracy and well might
successfully guard the public interest.
