The history or all this was Wr1lten III
the face upon which that little boy
looked Forty years afterwards the
memory of it was SO clear and in
delibly fixed on his mind, that he
painted the best Lincoln portrait that
we have today. This fact illustrates
the marvellous effect the memory of
Lincoln has on the boys OF this land
todays This little poem "A Boys
Thought Of Lincoln" is an illustra-
ton of this remarkable influences:

And say them all from Washington
clear through Buchanan, then,

Can't you remember, Jim?'
Can't l remember him!
Why, he's my hero! That is why

Once he was just as poor as l,
And homely, too, and tall and shy.
But he was brave and made his place,
Climbed to the top and freed race!
When l think what he dared to do.
Just vow I'll do something, tool"
In the following are the opinions
of some well known men and women
on the question of equal suffrage:
John Quincy Adams-The correct
principle is that women are not only
justified, but exhibit the most exalted
virtue, when they enter on the con-
Germs of their country, OF humanity,
and of their God.
Ex-Mayor Edward F. Dunno, Chica-
go-I am in hearty sympathy with the
woman suffrage movement. l think
the women Of Chicago are as intelli-
gent and as much entitled to the suf-
frage as are the women Of Denver.
which city seems entirely satisfied
with the practical results Of woman
suffrage.
Wendell Phillips-America never
gave any better principle to the
world than the safety of letting every
human being have the power Of pro-
lection in its own hands. l claim 1t for
women. The moment she has the
ballot, shall think the cause is won.
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Politics governs even the purity OF
the milk supply. 1t is not outside
the home" but inside the baby.
William Dean Howells-1n my
opinion, suffrage for women is bound
to come. There are many arguments
against it, but no reasons.
Samuel Gompers, President Ameri-
can Federation of Labor am for
unqualified woman suffrage as a mat
ter Of human justice.
Louisa NJ Alcott-Every year
gives me greater faith in it, greater
hope of its success, and a more
earnest wish to use what influence l
possess for its advancement.

OF Interest
To Women

"The Bravest Battle.
The bravest battle that ever wal
fought!
Shall tell you where and when
On the maps OF the world you vii
find 1t not;
Twas tough. by the mothers Of
men.
Nay. not with cannon or battle shot
With sword or nobler pen!
Nay, not with eloquent word OF
thought
From mouths OF wonderful men.
But deep in wallad-up woman's
heart,
A woman that would not yield.
But bravely, silently bore her part
10! there is that battle field.
No marshaling troop. no bivouac
song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But, oh! these battles. they last SO
long,
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet, faithful still, as bridge of stars
She fights in her waHed-up town,
Fights on and on in the endless wars
Then, silent, unseen, goes down.
o We with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise,
tell you the kingliest victories
fought
Are fought in these silent ways.
o spotless woman in world OF
shame!
With splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you came,
The kingliest warrior born.

Perhaps the best portrait Of Lincoln,
at any rate the one which the rank
and file of people love the best, is the
Douglas Volk portrait. The picture is
the more remarkable and the more
appealing when you know that the
artist saw Lincoln only twice in his
life. When Douglas Volk was four
years old, Abraham Lincoln was a
guest in his fathers house. Lincoln
took the little boy on his lap and
the artist-to-be looked into those
deep, kind eyes, and the memory
never left the child's heart. When the
body of Lincoln lay in state in Chi
cago on it's journey from Washington
to Springfield, among the thousands
who thronged to see for the last time
the face Of the great emancipation,
was douglas volk, nine years old. Be-
tween that first and last look many
things had happened to Lincoln. He
had served four years as president
of the United States, he had suffered
in his great soul, the thrust of every
bayonet, the shock of every bullet or
artillery charge that had taken the
life of a boy in blue or boy in gray;
he had felt the scalding burn OF
every mothers tear during the civil
war. He had seen the end of the war,
the union saved, the slaves freed. He
had been praised, censured and slah

Church Goinq at Douqlas

They are going to have Church Going Day at Douglas next Sunday. The movement is awakening more widespread and pervadng interest there than in any other place where it has been instituted so far as has been brought our notice In most localities where the. day has been observed it has appealed only to habitual church goers and those who live along the borderline, between the steady church goers and those who cannot be dragged to church. It has emptied this twilight zone and filled the churches but it has made little impression upon the confirmed church goer
 But in Douglas interest in the day has pene- trated all elements of society Everybody there may not go to church but every citizen is eagerly ing the and some the citizens have their money up the result.
 Pools have been formed by gamblers and others in whom the sporting proclivity is mildly de- veloped to the number that will be in attend ance next Sunday. The figures have been placed high and arrangements have been made for an ac- curate and unbiased count

THE ART OF PRESERVING THE VOICE

William Gang in his recent book Manners of a Musician" gossips about Patti in this wise:
 Craig Castle occupies a beautiful position, 300 feet above the level of the River Tawe it in a lovely valley surrounded 6y high mountains. The reception rooms large and beautifully fur nished In the billiard room there is big orches trion. which has repertoire of all the popular operas, large number being those of Wagner. Ma dame Patti generally joins in these airs singing them while they being played. She told that Wagner asked her repeatedly to sing the prano parts in Lohengrin and Tannhauser, but she always declined his request She would have made splendid Elsa, but she afraid that Wagners operas might hurt her voice, particularly in the dramatic parts.
 Mir Gang attributes the miraculous manner in which Madame Patti has kept her voice to the way in which she has spent her life in actually living for her art to degree exercised by any other singer She actually count on her fingers the times she has disappointed in her singing career In her desire keep faith with the public and not to failzin her appearances through cause avoid able by herself she most careful in her diet never overtired herself, keeping early and regular hours; after singing she would take light supper So conscientious was she before her engagements that know of many pleasures she has voluntarily given up Now that she has retired she is able to enjoy visits to Bayreuth Munich, where she con- stantly to the festivals

This devise is of the most malignant weapons which capital in its efforts union labor. It has gotten that the alarm clock excuse for tardiness has become joke in captalistic circles and is greeted with derision and a gaping wound in the pay check A slumberous employee can hardly oversleep a couple of hours nowadays with having heavyjowled emissary of predatory wealth utter few coarse jests about the price of alarm clocks.

What Is Death?

We reluctantly approach this gloomy subject, led thereto by certain obsequies held Bisbee the other day the occasion of the passing of the late Colonel Michael Edward Cassidy postmaster, or, rather, we should say. Colonel Michael Edward Cassidy late postmaster. But in Bisbee in many other places where politics is the breath of life. this is distinction without difference. A who been severed from office is dead and life hath departed from him. He is dead the deadest member of the earliest and forgotten Egyptian dynasty. Queen Thiy is deader.
 The Bisbee Reviews account of the proceedings is sepulchral and closes with what we consrue to be the information that Colonel Cassidy will trans port his remains either to Phoenix Yuma for in terment, in both of which places it is understood has laid up treasures in the form of investments.
 But, knowing Colonel Cassidy we do we participate in the that prevails at Bsbee We do believe that he is dead We do not believe that he is in suspended animation that he is in that mild state of coma marked by mere unconscousness. If Colonel Cassidy were really dead would greve as deeply and sincerely as any of his surviving friends but know that he lives, whatever the post mortem proceedings at Bsbee may have revealed.
 It is not all of life to hold office nor is it necessarily part of death to lose it. But for Of Colonel Cassidys past political activities which some have called pernicous, retain office under democratic administration would be miracle stranger than the raising of the dead
 That Colonel Cassidy is no longer postmaster at Bsbee does not signify that he has lost any thing of, the bloom of youth Because he is not now sorting the mail does not mean that his jbbering ghost is roaming nightly along Tombstone Canyon or is seen fitting in Brewery Gulch suddenly dis appearing amid the foliage which obstructs that misnamed thoroughfare-Broadway The money which his sorrowing friends have expended in cere- ments has been wasted.
 But We trust that all that is mortal of Colonel Cassidy may be brought by him Phoenix We will welcome all of Bisbee's dead-such dead as Colonel Cassidy.

A SURlNAM JUNGLE DANCE

The commandant and MT. Shit seated with me opposite the drummers, where a Djoeka presented his daughter, superb black creature, who with two other girls advanced in the ring with coy step and posture. toward three men, with whom they danced in pairs; the girls, with a shy hlt of the head and constant moving of the hands, passed and repassed, turning closely about their partners, but never touching. A girl would follow a man of her fancy as he walked down from the ring center, then, he turned at the edge whisk away to hum of laughing approval
 Suddenly the dusky form of the girl previous ly presented emerged from the throng with the same coy mesmerc motions the hands, almost touched me. turned like flash, and gone. A loud. murmur Smit nudged my arm She likes you You have got dance" he whispered. Every explorer knows it is sometimes unwse to accept such 8 challenge it is times indis- erect to refuse. She advanced again with another girl; treasured by safety in numbers, my strong susceptibilties- to the rhythym of music enabled to adapt some slight proficiency in bunk -and wing dancing and to become moment later an integral part of that throbbing throng.-Charles w.

NO PARTY LABELS IN MILWAUKEE

While in Kansas City recently Dr. Graham Tay Tor, Chicago declared that party politics should have no place in the administration of any city's affair He explained the evils of injecting tonaI party issues into municipal business and pointed out the advantages of conducting city gov ernment with an eye single to the city's interests
 In connection with Doctor Taylors very clear views on this subject it is interesting to recall that Milwaukee social workers arrayed them selves in opposition to the movement eliminate national party labels from municipal ballots. Un- like most of these, however. Doctor Taylor is only sociologist of high authority but he is a man of practical experience in public affairs.
 What Chicago. Kansas City and other American cities are still striving for, Milwaukee has already gained. There will be party labels the bal lots to be used at the polls here next spring. This means that in determining their local affairs, the electors will not be confused by outside issues. The new law gives them better opportunity to choose their city officials wisely-Milwaukee Journal.

The Clean Town

The Republican printed yesterday the story Of a clean town contest which had been in progress in Texas for a year and in which the city of Bon- ham was declared the winner. This is a novel con- test which should be followed by others until they spread all the country
 The clean town enjoys at least three advantages. It has become a healthful town; there is less money spent in paying doctors bills and there is more health and energy to be devoted to useful and upbuildng occupations. clean town is a standing advertisement in itself only next to read ing matter but in pure reading matter. It attracts homeseekers of the better class. those who help keep town clean both physically and morally.
 clean town is also incentive to itself to constructive effort. The removal of debris from vacant lots discoses good building sites and sug- gests houses. Unsghtly buildings loom more con spcuously and disagreeably in a locality where all is spick and span around them and result they are improved or else torn down make way for something better.
 There is no better place in Arizona than Phoe- nix for contest to be instituted not because Phoenix needs cleaning but because it is a radiating point.
