GERM OF IMMORTAL ADDRESS
Proof That Lincoln Long Had In MInd
Right Idea Of What the War
Meant.

Hay referred to Brownings sug-
gestion that the North should sub
jugate the South, exterminate the
whites, set up black republic, and
protect the negroes while they raised
our cotton"
Some of our Northerners seem be-
wildered and dazzled by the excite
ment of the hour" Lincoln replied.
"Doolittle seems inclined to think that
this war is to result in the entire
abolition of slavery. Old Colonel Ham
ilton, venerable and most respect
able gentleman, impress upon me
most earnestly the propriety Of en-
listing the slaves in our army" Il
told him his daily mail was thickly
interspersed with such suggestions.)
For my own part" he said, Il con-
slider the central idea pervading this
struggle is the necessity that is upon
us OF proving that popular government
is not an absurdity. We must settle this
question now, whether in free govern,
ment the minority have the right to
break up the government whenever
they choose. If we fail. we will 60
far to prove the incapability Of the
people to govern themselves. There
may be one consideration used in stay
OF such final judgment, but that is not
for us to use In advance: That Is that
there exists in our case an instance
of vast and far-reaching disturbing
element which the history of no other
free nation will probably ever present.
That, however, is not for US to say
at present. Taking the government
as We found it, we win see II the ma
1ority can preserve It"
This statement, spoken offhand to
his secretary, reveals the foundation
Of Lincoln's Judgment on the Civil
war; there was at stake something
more precious than the preservation
OF the Union, something more urgent
than the abolition OF slavery-and that
was democracy. Two years and a BALI
later, In his address at Gettysburg, he
put into one imperishable sentence
the thought of which this was the
germ.--From the Diary Of John Hay,
edited by William Roscoe Thayer for

War Develops New Channels Of
Trade for Western Hemisphere

Washington, D. C.-Some of the OBJ
stacles which war across the Atlantic
has thrown into the paths of industrial
and commercial prosperity and the
march of trade in the Western Henri
sphere were outlined Tuesday at the
first session of the Pan-Americar
finance conference.
The outstanding thought of the con-
ference as it was expressed by many
speakers was the crying need for i'm
provement of transportation, for re
adjustment of methods of financial ex
change and for uniformity of law
north and south of the Equator in rela
tion to subjects which vitality affect in
ternational relations.
Steps were taken at the close of th'
day to pave the way for uniform stat
utes through the appointment of 1
committee with representative from
each invited nation and several repre-
sentatives of the United States.
President Wilson, who welcomed the
delegates to this country, dwelt upon
the need for development of trans
portation, and Secretaries Bryan, Red
field and McAdoo and Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson later added their recon-
mendations for steamship lines inde-
pendent Of Europe to ply between all
the principal ports of the two Amer
icas.
Expression of this idea eliminated
in the promise of Secretary McAdoo to
select committee of representatives
of the United States and of South
American countries, including Argen-
tina, Brazil, Chile and possibly others,
to take up the question of steamship
lines, either cooperative under these
governments or under private control.

Eugene Twenty miles of steel rails
are to be shipped from the William

this week. They will go by way of
Portland to Coos Bay, and their ar
rival will mark the beginning Of track
laying from Coos Bay to meet the rails
from Eugene. The move is one step
in an effort to rush to completion this
year the road to Coos Bay in compli-
ance with the recent orders of Chief
Engineer Hood.
Another 80 days will see the rails
extended from the Eugene end to
Acme, according to H. P. Hoey, assis-
tant engineer, in charge, and with the
rails pushing north from Coos Bay tc

pest at hoine' says L. N. otockWeii
instructor OF dairying at the Agricul
tural College. Oregon has more Jer.
sey herds under official test than any
other state in the United States, and
that has resulted in aiding breeders to
select the best producers for breeding
stock.
ut is a well known fact that the
longer animals are pure bred along one
line, the more likely they are to trans
NIT their characters to their offspring.
Testing also encourages breeders to
put forth their best efforts, since it in
creases the number of sales they are
able to make and the prices they re-
ceive for their stock sold.
"Holstein breeders in Oregon have
been slow to take up official testing
work. However, some of the breeders
have conducted the seven-day official

A VERY distinctive and elegant
a style, and ono of the easiest for
the home dressmaker to follow, is
shown in the dress pictured here. 1t
is style especially we'll adapted to
plump figures. This dress of velvet,
trimmed with embroidered bands, is
innocent of a waist line, and because
of this and its other peculiarities it is
altogether out of the ordinary.
Imagine the effectiveness of a
strong, rich shade of blue, a little
darker than sapphire, in an excellent
quality of velvet, when contrasted
with bands of trimming closely Gov
cred with small steel beads. The COM
bination is very fine, and dark green
or black used instead of blue will
prove quite as handsome.
There is straight underskirt of
silk, having the lower part of velvet.
The simply cut upper garment hangs
over this in lines of uncompromising
plainness.
The belt and round neck are defined
by the embroidery of beads. the
sleeves are long and plain. This gown

is good illustration of the axiom
that rich materials look best when
simply made up, for it is unusual and
impressive. But the odel is not suit
ed to commonplace materials.
Another development in an entirely
different material is equally effective.
This is demonstrated in a gown made
of twine-colored net, the overgarment
showing the net laid in side plaits a
half inch deep. But in this gown a silk
cord partly defines the waist line,
which it encircles at the belt, falling
below it at the front and fastening in
a knot at one side like a Greek girdle.
The underskirt is of plain net over a
foundation of satin in the same color.
Although there is no flare in the
skirt or upper garment, they are both
roomy. It is the lack of definition of
| the figure that adapts the velvet model
to the stout figure. But in the dress
made of net the plating of the ma.
terial and the addition of the girdle
| produce a gown which is ideal for a
slender figure.

THE fad of the hour is the straight
j hanging ample veil, ripping about
the lower edge and just as full as it
well can be made. 1t is of dotted or
figured net and usually it is in black,
although a warm gray or mode or
dark fawn color is liked immense
ly. The latter are often finished
with lace pattern about the lower
edge, which does not interfere at all
with their being bound,
The usual binding is a narrow fold
of black satin. A recent arrival is
the black veil with binding of white
satin. A few varieties are bordered
with ribbon an inch wide, but the
great majority of all the wells are cut
circular, hang to point little below
the shoulders, and are bound with a
narrow fold of black satin.
An extreme of the mode is made of
square of black filet net having
small solid squares scattered over its
surface. The net is yard wide.
circular piece is cut out from the cen.
ter and the opening is hemmed in a
