Letter Discovered Which
Gives First Suggestion OF
"Great Emancipation"
OHIO MAN HOLDS THIS HONOR

The first public suggestion thai
Abraham Lincoln be nominated a;
President of the United States came
as far as records can be traced, from
Israel Green, OF Findlay, Ohio. The
letter is universally admitted by stu.
dents of Lincoln's life and his many
biographies TO be the first public
suggestion that Illinois favorite son
was good Presidential timber. The
letter was published In the Cincin-
natl Gazette and attracted wide
spread attention. Immediately after
it's publication, the name of Lincoln
became linked with the Presidential
nomination.
Israel Green, in discussing the cir
cumstances that led him to write
this historic letter. says in a letter
to his daughter, Mrs. Clara Green

of that State and TO discuss before
the people the principles advocated
by the two parties. carefully read
the speeches. replies, and rejoinders
of each. and on the sixth of Novem-
Der, while sitting alone in my drug
store in Firdlay, thinking of the
mastery speeches made by Lincoln
at the several points of the State;
how ably and grandly he bore him

ence and manners aroused among
the people; the love the masses
seemed to have for him, | said to

ton, and it appeared in the Gazette

Official Washington was both
gratified and relieved by the diplo-
matte victory. The communication
delivered by the Ambassador pursu-
ant to general instructions from his
Government spread absolute conf
dence that there would be no more
submarine controversies between the
United States and Germany. for the
document reveals that stringent or
ders have been given to submarine
commanders to prevent a recurrence
of such incidents as the Arabic
Since this case embraces the prin-
ciples for which President Wilson
contended in his notes following the
torpedoing of the Lusitania and the
Falaba, the concessions made by
Germany to the American viewpoint
were generally regarded here as
paving the way for amicable settle
ment of all the cases which have
threatened severance of diplomatic
relations between the two countries.
The Administrations victory is,
therefore. sweeping in its extent 1t
brings to end negotiations that have
been pending with more or less vac
illation on Gernianys part, but with
fixed determination on the Presi-
dents part since the sinking of the
Lusitania nearly eight months ago
This settlement with Germany
leaves the Administration free to
join issues with Great Britain over
the injustice fthe Order OF Council
and the hardshiDs placed on Ameri-
can commerce as a result of Eng
lands 'paper" blockade.
With the settlement of the Arabic
controversy the dispatch to Great
Britain of the long-delayed Ameri-
can note on interference with trade
is expected within few days. Presi-
dent Wilson has consistently refused
to send this communication while
the issues with Germany were pend
ing, because the Berlin government, |
through its notes, had given the i'm
preston that on the action which !
the United States took with one set
OF belligerents depended its own |
to international law. AS
the issues with Germany appear now |
to be adjusting themselves, the Pres |
ident, II is known, feels free to press /
Great Britain for modification OF !
the Orders in Council and restric-
tons of American trade.

export the greater part
Of their product, are among those
that have felt keenly the effect of
the Order in Council.
The President has not felt at lib
erty TO deal decisively with Great
Britain as long as the German
menace" hung over this country. He
has not wanted settlement of eth
pr controversy to be contingent on
the success of the other.

 of the radical and sound changes that
 have been introduced than the dis
 closures to the effect that where de-
 f1cits were being shown a year ago
 profits are to be found today. This
 is indicated most cenelusively by the krepert ending with the month of May which displays @ met corporate income of a third Of D. million where at the
 same time last year there was shown
 a deficit of $189, ,0946s. The same
 holds true for the eleven months per- | iod ending with May in comparison
 with the previous period of similar |length.
 This isattribptable directly to man. ner in which the road is being run under President Elliott. There has
 been cutting down of expenses where such could be done without in- jury to the business of the road. Economies have been wisely practiced and sound methods have replaced ex- | 'trayagance. It has been difficult E task but one that has been attacked with determination and Eigor and the
 results thus far obtained are but the forerunners of what can be expected. There is also the satisfaction of know ing that the reconstruction is all the
 more sound because of the fact that
 it has not had the assistance of pros-
 porous business conditions. but rather
 is it the outcome of the new life and
 efficient administrative power which
 has been injected into it.

No coMPRoMisE oN RIGHTS.

Unless there has been a disposition on the part of Germany to place too much dependence upon the statement which former Secretary Bryan is al- legged to have made to Ambassador Douma to the effect that the Amer lean note was for home consumption and that it ought not to be taken toe seriously abroad, it should have rea- 9ized long before this that the position bf this country is clearly and fully set forth therein. It Is not a demand which existed then and has since changed. It represents the attitude of the United States today the same as 1t did when it was despatch.
 This country did not overstate its position. It is asking solely for its rights and upon that there can be mo compromise. Germhny's disposi- tion to avoid guaranteeing those rights, not because they are not based upon International law but because ii pretends to see therein the possibility that their method of utilizing the submarines would be interfered with If that continues to be its position and the forthcoming note does not satisfactorily answer President Will son's demands it simply means 2 repudiation of the promises which Germany made in common with other countries.
 This is not time for the drafting of a new set of rules for the govern ing of neutral commerce, the rights of -cennbatants and attacks upor merchantmen Those were establish ed long ago in case of just such ar emergency as had arisen and noth- ing more is being asked of Germany than would be sought from any other country which had indicated such g fragrant disregard for them.

WALSH RESPONSIBLE.

Chairman Walsh of the federal in- hustrial relations commission is still speaking and in his latest address to St Louis audience admits that he Is personally responsible for all crit icism that has been directed against the commission. Such will be agreed to by all who have followed the work of the commission and the course pursued by the chairman.
 n an attempt to justify his action MT. Walsh declares that ''my duty was to investigate the truth, not smother it. and I did my duty" That the duty of the commission of which he was chairman was to investigate the truth cannot be questioned. II was named to find out the true con- ditions which exist relative to indus trial relations throughout the country and report thereon but the trouble with the chairman was that he over stepped and disregarded his duty.
 Mir. Walsh has been possessed with the idea that a part of his work was to put forth the results of the inves- tigation in public addresses before the work orsthe report were completed and in the hands of the body which created the commission. Not only dit he deal with these matters on the public platform while the hearings were still going on bEt his statements were so distorted and his conduct o1 the hearings such that they called forth Justified protests from wit. nesses who had been nisquoted and by the members of the commission who were incensed at his methods Mr. Walshss duty was to make th' investigation as near a success a. possible but nothing has contributed 30 much towards making it a fizzl' hss the acts of the chairman.

,MENAcE~To LIFE AND NEUTRAL.
 fTY,

The placing of time bomb aboard the steamship Minnehaha which ex-
 ploded and set fire to the vessel points
 out the necessity for greater vigilance
 along the steamship wharyes in this
 country. The Minnehaha was a
 freighter but there were a hundred or
 more lives involved in its crew had
 the ship been blown up. That hos
 tile act was committed is unguestioned
 and 1t cannot be overlooked that it was committed in this country even
 though the consequences were not to
 be suffered until the vessel was well out on the high seas.
 Whether Muenter, alias Holt, was the cause of it matters little. If it was Meunter he Is no longer a men
 ace except through such influence as
 his example may have, but it shows none the less that it is possible to not only plot but carry out the
 plans for just such catastrophes in l this country.
 | Such of course are acts directly against the neutrality of this coun- 1 try. They call for the closest atten- ton regardless of the flag which such vessels fly or the port to which they | were destined. If the practice it not 1 stopped American vessels will be sub- l jected to as great perils as any other | even as Muenter had declared that fl was possible it was on one of the l American steamers that he had | placed his dynamite.
 | The suppression of such infeTna, machines must come through the CO., 1 operative efforts of the port and the steamship companies. 1t may mear additional expense but such is the
 price of neutrality and prevention ana i 1t is worth all its costs.

THE sAYVILLE STATION.

There is nothing surprising in the
 action of the government in taking
 over the powerful wireless station at
 Sayville, L. I. It, has been antici- pated for some time and Is the logical step as the result of the suspicion which has been directed against the plant.
 By the retention of that station and it's operation under German direc-
 ton even though under a censorship by this country there was imposed
 upon the company great responsibili-
 ties for the maintenance of neutrality. As long as such was honestly main tained there could be no cause for interference but there was duty which this country owed to itself and to every other country to live up to ] it's proclaimed position Of fayoring none of the belligerents.
 | With a sufficient basis therefore for
 believing that the station was being operated as an aid to the German
 cause. or that it was likely to become such no other course was left open tc the government. The business of the plant and the income of the company are not to be interfered with as long
 as it is legitimately conducted and by placing naval operators in charge 1 and insisting upon copies of the code when code messages are sent it is pre- pared to insist as never before thai | that station respect the. country in | which 1t is located. As long as this l is done Sayvflle will continue to reach | across the ocean with its powerful electrical wave but the action which has been taken simply means that | if there are found to be methods by
 which even this control can be cir
 cumvented there will remain nothing l to do but close it up entirely unti l the end of the war.

Stories of the War
The H, A. c. at the Front.

The Honorable Artillery Company, of London, which, like it's counterpart and relative in Boston. is one of the oldest and most aristocratic military organizations in existence, now has in the field an organization which in cludes hundreds of members of the wealthiest and most aristocratic fam flies in England. They have proved their merit and their democracy on countless occasions since they went to France early in the war.
