Lincoln.

The worlds greatest republic did
homage yesterday to the memory of the
greatest, most human character in its
history. As each year has passed since
the day close to half century ago when
Abraham Lincoln went to the tomb, a
martyr in a great national tragedy, his
countryrnen have paused in their prob
lens and pursuits to pay reverence to
the day of his birth. As the American
people trusted Lincoln, so Lincoln trust
ed the people, and today, with his men,
ory enshrined in their hearts, q guiding
star, there need be no misgivings as to
the nations endurance. Political par
ties may flourish and wane, but the
American republic ever advances.
In Washington the day was hallowed
by the beginning, with simplicity in
keeping with the nature of Lincoln
himself, of the work ot rearing a mon
ument to his memory. With the tower
ing shaft which honors Washington it
will stand an inspiration TO generations
when today's history shall have been
forgot.

DEFENDS THE APPENDIX.
French Doctor says Organ Is Help
full 10 Dige>tion.

From the New YrTk Timc,.
That the appendix vermiformis is what
biologists call a yestiGiaI organ. and use
less or worse. has long been the general
opinion among medical men. but that
opinion has never been unanimous. Ever
since this troublesome extension OF the
alimentary canal began To receive atten-
tion-whiCh is ever since antisCpSis and
asepsis made abdominal operations fairly
safe-there have been those who I'D
that the appendix presumably served
purpose. and that its removal was not
an unmiNed blessing.
What the pu-pos" was mas been the
subject Of many GueSs-s among this fac
tiOn. but none Of those hitherto presented
has been very satisfactory. AMI Of the
innumerable people who have been do
prived of this mysterious organ few
have suffered from subsequent mcOnvcn-
fences that could with any certainty be
ascribed TO its absence.
Now a French doctor has reported to
the Paris ACADEMY OF Silence that Sc
runs extracted from freshly removed
appendices, when injected into animals
have a rneasurably stimulating effect on
the contractile. or periStaltlc, movements
of the intestinal walls. and that in aI
probability along this Linz is to be sought
and found the use OF that which has been
declared useless This IS in effect the
assertion that the appendix, instead OF
being the degenerate and therefore dan
gerous vestige Of 4 once active VisCuS.
is still 4 secretinG gland and an efficient
aid in the complicated process OF dlSes-

who were driving evil spirits out OF
him" at a religious meeting held last
Friday at the home OF his father. Dolph
Hickam. at Goat Gap, sixteen miles
southwest of Murphysboro.
Young Hickam is subject TO fits, and
as he would not get religion followers
OF the sect decided he was possessed OF
evil spirits and started to beat them out
OF him, 1t is charged. His cousin, John
Hickam. living a short distance away
heard his cries. and with an ak entered
the house, though told to remain out be-
cause he was a sinner, and compelled the
zealots to desist.
Three participants in the attack are
in Jail at Jonesboro. One. Walter Ellis,
of Jackson County, last August was con-
verted and went home and killed his
fathers hogs. saying they had evil spirits.
DIR. Hale. of Alto Pass. who Is attend
ing Noah Hickam. said the young mans
breast and face bear the imprints of
shoe heels and that his injuries may
prove fatal.
The walls of the room in which he
was beaten are covered with blood. \

The Children. Bur.au Report

There is something very nearly
shocking in the first annual report of
Miss Julia c. Lathrop as chief of the
Children's Bureau in the Department
of Labor. II is thought, suggested
by Miss Lathrop in her discussion of
the work of juvenile courts. that some
very honest zeal ha, been wasted in
misdirected efforts to help young per-
sons whose delinquencies, native or ac-
quired, have brought them under the
contemplation of the laws enacted
specifically for their benefit.
The inequality of operation of the
juvenile coprt laws in this country
Miss Lathrop finds, has been ignored.
Yet this inequality, her report would
indicate, has been a source of much
personal suffering and community loss.
The methods of few juvenile courts,
well equipped to discharge their func-
tions, are made the models of other
courts, with the same laws, but with
none of the machinery requisite to a
benehcent enforcement of those laws.
The results have been anomalous in
regard to the youthful defendants and
the public.
Yet the hopelessness that such a
thought suggests is but momentary.
Miss Lathrop's report is essentially
optimistic In this, as in any other
reformation, mistakes are made. They
are incidental, however. This Chill
dren's Bureau in year has done much
toward finding the right path. Per-
haps it and the other agencies working
for children's welfare in another year
will have brought the tender juveniles
governmental guardians and protectors
within sight of the true way

The Democrats win control the gpv-

maybe longer. said benjamin. L. Hast
ings. Of Council Biuffs, Iowa, yesterday.
Il would not BE- surprised to see the
present party in power for the next tven-
ty years.
Many Republicans throughout the
West agree to this. and while the Pro-
gressives are stronger than the Repub-
licans. the breach between the two par
ties VIII not be healed for some time.

remarked George T. Houser. Of Los An
geles, at the Raleigh yesterday. Three
parties will be represented. and perhaps
half dozen candidates. The fight for
the seat in the Senate will be warm. and
many interesting personal battles are
looked for"
THE South is the coming country"
said Frederick L. Marshall, Of Chatta-
nooga. Tenn, yesterday Mt the Raleigh,
"ard in the next few years this fact Will
be made plata to all"
why. ut the present time. many
Northern manufacturers are coming
South. Land is cheaper than in the
North. and the help Is even cheaper.
They can live cheaper in the South than
in the North. and for this reason many
of the working class are coming South
daily.
Look at Atlanta for instance. Atlanta
Is rapidly forging to the front as a center
of commerce in the South. and before
long the Georgia city will be recognized
as one Of the leading cities In the United

Outlook Brighter.

This weeks report OF the United
States Steel Company shows an in
crease in January of untitled orders of
33I, 900 tons, a really remarkable show
ing, as it is indisputable proof of re-
newed activity in the steel business.
The significance of these figures is bet
ter appreciated by those who are ia
miliar with the trade as they know no
one expected such an increase at this
period of the year. With such an i'm
provement coming when not expected
it can be taken for granted that it will
increase during the coming months. This
means employment to large number
of idle wagcworkers, and its effect will
be to increase confidence in the busi-
ness word, which will be felt in other
trades, for all of which VIC can be
thankful.

Legislation now engaging the atten-
ton of Congress, urged by Presideni
Wilson for the purpose of regulating
and controlling the trusts. IS unneces-
sary ifthe view of the situation taken
by Secretary of Commerce Redheld IS
correct. The address of the Secretary
before the Chamber of Commerce OF
the United States yesterday afternoon
rather surprised the members. Admit
tirg that he is unfamiliar with the de-
tails of pending legislation, Mr.. Red
field, who was manufacturer before
he became member of President VIII
sons Cabinet, asserted in substance
that by the very nature of its organiza-
ton the trust is inefficient as working
force, and hence is unable to cope
with its smaller competitor; that the
trusts are dwindIing in numbers and
that many of those remaining are not
paying dividends.
The argument that the trust cannot
successfully compete, by fair means,
with the independents organization is
not altogether new; brs put in the
forcible words of member of Presi-
dent Wilson's Cabinet it becomes almost
startling. Said Mr.. Redfeld:
1t would be perfectly easy for me to
go over a long list of trusts, which
were gigantic organizations, which have
ceased to exist because they could not
bear the heat and the burden of the
day. 1t would be still easier to cite a
long list of nondividend paying con-
Germs, and / think the fact has never
been published that the number of
gigantic corporations known as trusts"
which are still doing business is con-
spicuously small. perhaps but one-quar-
ter in number of those that come into
existence.
/ know many factory managers of
standing who will tell you that the
trust is an outworn phase of our in
dustrial activity. No expert production
engineer of today will tell you that the
way to get low cost of production is to
combine a number of factories into one.
know of independent organizations
which have grown up side by side with
competing trusts" and the smaller in
dependent companies are paying a
larger percentage of return on their
capital
There would seem TO be no possibil-
ity of misinterpreting these words of
the head of the executive department
closest in touch with and more
or less in control OF the nations in
dustries and corporations. Perhaps it
would be too much TO say that there
is shown a lack of harmony in the pol
icy of the President and the views of
his Secretary of Cowmerce; it would
appear nevertheless that, if Mr.. Red
fields observations may be relied upon
as accurate, Mr.. Wilson is unduly cx-
ercised concerning the urgent necessity
Of antitrust legislation. He might
safety leave them doomed to be eaten
up by their independent competitors,
none of which in any line of manufac-
ture, Mr.. Rcdhed said, have been elim-
mated by the great combinations of
capital.

The Vocational Bureau.

A work which promises useful re-
suits to the community at large is that
undertaken by the vocational bureau,
organized by a few earnest men and
women of Washington who have lately
been giving both of their time and
money, without ostentation, in an effort
to accomplish something Of real and
general benefit. Expressed briefly and
in broad terms the object Of the bu-
reau is to find the right job for the
man, the woman, the boy, or the girl.
This is field of substantial, helpful
endeavor in which Washington is far
behind other cities of less importance
Though the work here is only in the
formative stage, enough has been done
to discover splendid possibilities Of
achievement. The vocational bureau, it
is planned, is to become eventually a
great clearing house between the work
The Washington herald., 1914-02-13


and the workers; the man ard the OPP
|portunity are to be brought together;
industrial mis6ts are to be eliminated
las far as possible. Especially valuable
results Il is- hoped. viii be accomplished
in the direction Of finding for youths
leaving the public schools occupations
for which they are best suited by train
ing and inclination, doing away to a
large extent with haphazard adoption OF
vocation.
The progress of the movement viii
no doubt be accelerated through mass
meeting soon to be held, when the pub
lie viii be informed as to the details
of the undertaking.
1t is project well worthy of earnest
and generous support.

Now the laundrymen, whom an i'm
patient public have maligned for the
tearing and wearing and shrinking and
of clothes submitted to their
cleansing processes, say their say, to
the effect that poor textiles ought to
have the onus-or big part of it-that
the laundrymcn now bear.
Says w. Z. Fitch, secretary of the
National Laundrymen's Association:
The laundrymen throughout the coun-
TRY are blamed for great many things
that they are not responsible for, and
the large part of the criticism is a re-
|sult of poor textiles that are being
placed on the marker nowadays. The
housewife cftentimes pays for what she
believes to be fine linen tablecloth,
(which, when placed in the wash. is
shorn of its sheen and comes forth a
specimen of shoddy cotton napery.
If the laundrymen can show also that
some of the materials given into their
teader care have a quality of magical
cvanescence and metamorphosis, to ex-
plain away mysteries of how Cents

Burleson, just because he doesn't like
Mr.. Burleson's parcel post system If
Mr.. Kindel's feet are cold. it would

|, Woman suffrage has scored another
victory. During the recent registra-
tioE in Chicago the requirement that
the fair candidates for voting privileges
must give their ages caused much per-
turbation. A new ruling, however, has
just been handed down, although un-
official by the attorney for the board of
election commissioners, who said in an
address to the woman's party of Cook
County: "Your choice of age should
be like your choice of a hat. People
say this or that hat is appropriate to
you. You should choose your age like
that. Remember, I'm just whispering
this to you
