! lowing day. Wholly without preju-
dice or sectional feeling, Lincoln was
intensely occupied with plans for the
restoring OF harmony and the quick
return of the seeded states to their
full autonomy and their proper places
in the union when his death plunged
| the nation into grief. He had the
same conception as Jefferson's of the
paramount Importance OF national nn-
ZION, and Of maintaining our continental
republic upon the basis of the feder-
al system.
For his leadership all parts of the
country ought now to be profoundly
grateful. II he could have lived a few
years longer we should perhaps have
been spared some unfortunate chap
tiers of our subsequent history and
should have worked out policies, both
domestic and foreign, that would have
made us a greater and stronger nation
than we are today. But he accom-
plished enough to earn secure fame as
a statesman of supreme rank. He was
| an American in whom were blended
1.-The characteristics OF all parts of the
| country in a way that made him ma
tional in the full sense; a humanitari-
an of great vision, in whose heart
there was no animosty toward any ma
ltion or race of mankind. The worlds
greatest need today is of leaders Of
| the Lincoln mold, who will believe
that the welfare of each nation can be
made to harmonic with that OF all the
Others. Hating war, Lincoln was,
Nevertheless, impelled to lead CO.
lossal four years struggle on behalf
of an American unity that should
make for permanent peace and hu-
man liberty.
Ii he We're alive today he would
probably hold that our country ought
TO ascertain and then to express in
clear terms the common sentiment OF
the acknowledgement countries. He
would stand for the worlds liberation
from war, upon the basis of princi-
lples and. agreements that would re-
move the causes Of strife, and pro-
vide higher structure than mutual
sovereignty. He would have America
strong enough to make its voice heard
iG the councils of the fearful and the
self seeking. He. was like the great

, Hatredrin the war.

Hate as motive power has been q
subject of discussion lately, and in
Germany it has even been defended on
philosophical grounds set forth with
old Testament energy. In England,
where both war and philosophy are
taken less seriously, such theories
have been found either shocking OF
and a chorus is said to have
broken down in helpless merrimen'
while trying to sing Lissaler's
Chant OF Hate Against England" YET
We see the same newspapers which
moralize on the wickedness of the
German philosophers doing their best
to persuade their readers that Ger
mans are persons who ought to be
hated. None OF them, to be sure
reaches the pitch of the German-ophile
philosopher Coleridge, who held thai
the French we're like grains of gun
powder, smutty and contemplate sep
arately, yet in the mass terrible in
deed. But their practice harmonizes
with the very theory which they de
nounce Perhaps as matter OF prac
tical expediency in order to stir VI
the pacific multitude to the necessary
bellicositys.it is necessary to encour
age hatred of the enemy, for the reas
ON that. love Of country does not sug

osophical defense for a practice that

for the world that the latter are in ma

Cancer in the Family.

Perhaps nothing causes more need
less worry than the fact that one or
more persons in given family have
died from cancer. This is commonly
taken as proof that the disease is he
reditary. This does not at all follow.
There. is probably no greater chance
|of inheriting cancer than there is OF
being killed by lightning or OF break
ing ones neck fallig down stairs. Per-
haps there are people who worry even
about those contingencies but the
statisticians have shown that such
fatal accidents are extremely rare.
People who are concerned: because
their relatives have succumbed to can
Ger fail to consider how widespread
the disease is. A malady that causes
one death out of every eight among
women and one out OF every fourteen
among men over forty is fairly COM
mon. On this basis it does not take
much arithmetic to figure out how
likely it is. that cancer will occur
many times in some families. The
eminent statisticians, King and News
liolme, have pointed out that it does
not prove heredity to show that III
one family five deaths occurred from
cancer. BY the very frequency of the
disease, and the laws OF chance. such
case would be expected even ii no one
had ever suggested the idea OF hered-
'ity. 1t can be fundamentally demon
strated that il a sufficient number OF
people start to toss coins it is a GER
.tainty that at least one OF them VIII

with cancer; given sufficient num-
Der of families it is certain that many
members of some few families will die
of the disease. Therefore it is not
necessary to assume that the disease
is inherited to account for its fire.
.quency., Sometimes this fallacy crops
out when certain notable cases, such
as that of the Bonaparte family, are
cited. It should be- remembered that
the rarity of such cases of apparent
.heredity tends to prove the very OPP
.posite. Such cases are so noticeable
that they are remembered. Ii the
cancer tendency should disappear in
such family no further attention
would be, paid to the supposed danger.
IL such family histories resulted from
actually inheriting the disease, rather
than from chance, they would be far
more commonly reported. 1t is pos
sible that certain forms of malignant
disease may, under rare conditions, be
transmitted to the child. Cancer is a
very large word, covering a number
of widely different diseases. 1t may
be. also, that under highly artificial
conditions Of inbreedillg mice a sus-
|ceptibility OF, tumofs may be inherir
ted. Nevertheless, as applied to hui
man beings and in the practical view,
the foremost authorities believe that
heredity in cancer may be regarded
as a negligible factor.

THE WORD
CATARlRH

HAS NO DEFINITE MEANING 4
An an example: In nasal catarrh one
form, hypertrophy, cn!arges the struct-
ures and more or less closes the
breathing space. Another form, afro
ply. causes toe. much opening.
Both are eatarrh but need different
treatment.
: Chronic Rhinitis, Adenoids, oezena
Polypi, Deviated Septur, Septal
Spurs, sinusitis are all catarrhal fac
tors and headache. deafness, dizzi.
ness, bad breath are some results
These are durable with proper treat,
ment. What is necessary is proper
treatment for that particular form you
are afflicted with.

Continental Phone Follows Highway.


When Alexander Graham Bell. the
father of the telephone. talked from
New York to San Francisco the other
day, his voice followed almost ex-
actly, with but few minor diverg-
ences, the route he would take if he
drives to the coast this summer over
the Lincoln highway And in travel
ing that route personally he would
cover but IA miles more than did his
voice.
The transcontinental telephone line
runs from New York to Philadelphia
to Pittsburgh and into Chicago over
practically identically the route Of the
Lincoln highway, which, however,
does not enter Chicago, but passes 10
miles to the south. From Chicago
west it passes through Omaha, Grand
Island, North Platte and other cities
in Nebraska ON the Lincoln highway.
But few divergences from the Lincoln
way route are found west OF Chey-
enne, except that the wires follow a
more northerly course across Nevada,
touching the highway, however. at
Salt Lake City and rejoining it again
at leChO anu IOlIONIiSl SiiS ctAAi'O sOuI>'
through Sacramento and Oakland into
San Francisco.
No greater proof that the Lincoln
highway is the-shortest coast to coast
road could be wished; miles of wire
and poles cost money and every pos
sible short cut is followed in placing
cross country telephone line. Yet
the actual length Of the line, accord
ing to figures supplied by the vice
president of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company, is 1870
miles, while the speedometer on the
car of a coast to coast driver over the
Lincoln highway will register just
1884 miles as, he picks his way
through the streets of San Francisco.
The road is just Ia miles longer, and
yet wire can take birds flight

|car must pick its winding way both
down and up. At more than one shall
low western lake the poles run straight
across, their bases sunk in the bot
toms ooze, While the car must go
|around.
Until we can cut our roads through
miles OF solid rock, tunneling noun
|tains, the Lincoln highway will re-
main the shortest and most direct
route TO the Pacific coast. Even that
would save but 200 miles. The short
est connecting transcontinental rail
roads with all their tunnels, have a

sRuildina on the Sands.

If Lieutenant Governor Harding, OF
any other candidate for governor, is
basing a campaign on the Johnston
bill, which seeks to repeal all the best
clements of Iowa's new road law pass
ed two years ago, they are building
(.Yeir political houses upon the sands
The people of Iowa are intelligent
people, and the more they see of the
workings of the new road law the bet
lei they are going to like it. Certain
gentlemen last summer thought they
saw an opportunity to ride into public
favor and public Office on the wave OF
opposition to capitol extension, but
" 1ltrk are these gentlemen now? The
people thought the matter over, and
refused to turn down a proposition
which was in it's essential elements
good, even though many of them
thought the legislature somewhat over
did the matter. 1t will be just the
same with the road law. The people
will not repudiate it because of minor
defects that can easily be rendered,
when in general it is a statute of splen
did purpose and magnificent results.

BURGLAR SCARED BY
WADSWORTH man

The home of Thomas Birkbeck of
Wadsworth was the scene Of bold
holdup at about 8 o'clock Friday ev-
ening, when burglar entering Birk-
beck's room Unexpectedly found the
latter in bed and awake. Without
an instants hesitation the intruder
pulled pistol and ordered hands up.
In somewhat bewildered state Of
mind Birkbeck obeyed, while at the
same time the thief retreated back
wards thru the door and made a hasty
flight from the house. The entire
neighborhood was aroused in a few
mintues and marshals, deputies and
volunteers were out securing the Vi
entity. The burglar was traced to
the Grandyiew allotment. west ct
town, by tracks in the mud, but hav-
ing gained the sidewalk at this point
the traces were lost and the fugitive
made complete getaway. He is
thought to have gone toward Rittman
There was $35 and a gold watch in
Birkbeck's trousers, which had, by q
lucky chance, been thrown into q
closet, out Of sight.

WANT COURT DIVIDED

A division of the appellate court
district in which are Summit, Guy
ahoga, Lorain and Medina is being
urged by Cleveland attorneys, who
want Cuyahoga to have it's own ap-
pellate court. The movement is based
on the expected rush of municipal
court cases to the court of appeals
following the removal of the chan
mel through common pleas court.
Judge Walter D. Meals of the ap-
pellate court doesn't agree with the
men who would divide the appellate
district. He says that the increase Of
municipal court cases will exceed the
number Of common pleas court cases
reaching court Of appeals from Sum
NIT, Lorain and this county. The re-
suit will be no diminution of the ap-
pellate courts labors.
His suggestion is that a tribunal Of
common pleas judges be formed to
act as a court Of review in Cleveland
for municipal court cases, and a buf-
fer between the city and appellate
courts.

DECISION IN WAITE
CASE POSTPONED

Decision on the motion for a new
trial for Wiley Waite was postponed
by Judge L. R. Critchfeld Monday
forenoon until Tuesday, July 6, after
hearing arguments from attorneys
on both sides Of the case.
Attorney A. D. Metz for Waite
argued on all Of the points raised in
the motion as filed except that of
jurisdiction of the court, which was
argued by Attorney Smith of Medina
for Waite. Smith claimed that the
crime, if was actually committed,
was consummated in Medina County
and not in Wayne, and hence the
court here had no right to try the
case. Metz argued that the court
erred in admitting certain evidence,
and charged oher error sufficient to
set aside the verdict. The claim was
also made that new evidence could
be introduced if another trial were
granted.
Prosecuting Attorney Starn re-
piled to the arguments of the attor-
neys for Waite, after which Judge
Critchfield stated that he desired to
postpone his decision until July 6 at
at $3.50 when he would pass upon the
motion.

the early spring marks, Ohio farmers
are planning to harvest bumper crops
Of cereals and fruits with the excep-

Corn, the reports state, is far be-
hind. This condition prevails despite
the extra favorable conditions that

lier this year than in many past
years, a ccording to Mr.. Cunningham.
According TO- farmers, this spring

ington and West Salem by Sheriff
Gehman last Friday in search of Cloyd
E. Johnson, wanted on warrant
charging non-suport, was unsuccess-
full. But Friday night it was learned
that he was at 0livesburg, a small
town in Ashland county, and Satur-
day the sheriff went there and arrest
ed him. His wife alleges that john
son has not contributed to the support
of either she nor their three-year-old
son since December, 1914.
On the way back from Olivesburg
the party stopped at Nova, where
Johnson,s parents reside, the father
being practicing attorney there. The
latter came to Medina and looked after
his sons legal interests. Johnson was
taken before Jusice VanDeusen, where
he entered a plea of not guilty and
was rleased on bond Of $500 signed by
Mr.. O. N. Leach.
