IN L|NCOLN'S STEPS
Policy for Republican Party to
Pursue.
Leader Of Organization That Will Re-
store Good Government to the
People Must &c Guided by His
Wise Craftsmanship.

In his eloquent speech at Detroit
predicting the reunion of the Republi-
can party and its return 10 power
Senator Borah said;
What We want in this country is
party which will do the simple but
profound thing which Lincoln did
that is, gather up the common sense.
The common honesty, the common
patriotism, TIE common courage and
the common righteousness of The com
mon people of this country, and or
ganize it into a militant, progressive,
disciplined force for legal and social
justice, and do it all under the Con-
stitution and laws of this blessed old
republic"
This is very much TO the point
The Republican party under Lincoln,
and for many years later under the
inspiration of his achievements, did
notable things. Notable things are
still demanded, and if Mr.. Borah's
prediction is f..lfilled, the party, in or
der To retain power, will have to ad-
dress itself to their performance.
While under criticism as a non
progressive, Mr. Lincoln was making
the truest because the safest progress.
He was setting off no tireworks-in-
dulging in no perfervid professions OF
devotion TO progress. His policies
reasoned out, and in the end all were
justified His delay of two years in
the issuance of his emancipation proc
lamation proved to be the wisest step
of his whole administration. The
matter was so momentous time was
necessary to ripen it; and Mr.. Lin
coins Judgment as to the time was
an inspiration.
The new Republican leader will be
beset In this way. He will be urged
TO go faster He will be warned to
go slowly. He will not be able to
please both sides He must decide
many things for himself, and take the
consequences.
Mr.. Borah is rated as a progressive
Republican. At Chicago two years
ago he sympathized with the Roose-
welt cause during the preliminary
work Of the Republican convention.
but refused to follow Mr.. Roosevelt
out of the party. He remained a Re
publican. and is a Republican today.
So that when he declares that all the
progress now necessary to the well
fare of the country can be made ''un-
der the Constitution and laws" he
sounds a note of Importance against
all suggestions of tinkering with the
fundamentals of the government. The
old foundations will easily bear what
ever additions may be necessary TO
the present superstructure.

Truth as to Mexican Situation.

Secretary Bryan's reference to the
Mexican situation as a legacy from
the Taft administration" vas not a
happy one. Compared with today the
Mexican situation was in embryo when
Mr.. Taft left the White House, very
properly refraining from inaugurating
a definite policy with reference to SO
important a subject within such a
short time of the Inauguration of his
successor Mr. Taft, it may be recalled.
was extremely soicitous that the new
administration should be placed in
possession of all the facts and infor-
nation concerning Mexico. which had
come to the knowledge of the old one.
If the Mexican situation may be
termed a legacy, at least no one can
be accused of dissipating It,

Where He Came In.

Grace was a country girl, whose
parents sent here to the city to at
tend college. When the holidays
came around and she came home, her
mother gave reception in her honor.
Some of the girl friends asked
Grace to show them her new gowns.
Obligingly she brought out several
modish gowns, and, holding up a par
ticularly pretty one of silk. she said:
Isn't this one perfectly beautiful?
Ana just think. it came from a poor,
it'll. insignificant worm!"
Her Woodworking father was seated
near, watching the performance, and
he replied:
Yes, darn it. and I'm that worm"

How Snakes Move Along.

To watch a snake or a serpent Gid
ing smoothly and silently along the
ground is TO see one of the most mar
velous things in natural history. In
deed the wlsest man who ever lived
confessed that the motion of a snake
was one OF the things that he could
not understand. AS a matter of fact,
a snake walks on the ends of its
ribs-a very curious use for ribs TO be
put 10. These ribs are very numer-

the backbone. Each rib is also fixed

the muscles acting on the ribs. these
scales are moved forward one after
the other, their edges catching the
ground, and the result is a rapid GID
ing motion We notice that the body
always moves from side to SIDE in a
wriggling or writhing manner, never
up and down, as is sometimes shown
in pictures. II is the very flexible
backbone that allows Of this writhing
movement. and the structure Of the
backbone also allows Of its being
broken easily.

Active Work for Boy Scouts
of England Is Outlined

New York, Aug. 25.-The national
America made public instructions BY
Lieut.. Gen. Sir Robert S. S.. Baden
Powell which he has issued to the
thousands of troops of boy scouts in
the British empire. The instructions,
in the form Of a statement under the
heading, 1.-The great war;" are in part
as follows:
THE sudden rush to arms on the
part Of the great nation Of Europe
against each other over a comparative
ly small incident in Servia, shows why
it is so essential to be prepared at all
times for what is possible, even, though
it may not be probable.
"Also it shows how little are thu
peoples of these countries as yet In.
sufficient mutual sympathy as to
wars impossible between them.
This will be so until better under"
standing is generally established. Let
us dc what we can through the scout
brotherhood to promote this in the
future. For the immediate present
we have duties to our country to per-
form"
General Baden-Powell says that in
this time of national emergency comes
the opportunity for the scouts to show
that they can be of material service
to their country. They will be utiliz-
ed, says the statement, to take the
lighter work of men in order that
these might be released to the more
arduous duties of war. Their duties
are non-military and come rather
within the scope of police work, car
