Lincoln.

In increasing measure as the years
pass this country recognizes in Lin
coins birthday an occasion Of sig
nihcance worthy of general COM
memoration. 1t was 100 years ago
today that Lincoln was born, and
nearly half a century has elapsed
since he was slain in this city by one
whose deed is now regarded, even
throughout the section in whose
cause he slew the nations head, as a
grievous blunder and an unpardon-
able crime. More and more as the
years pass Lincoln is rated at his
true stature as man of the highest
ideals of citizenship inspired by the
loftiest motives of patriotism. No
one can reckon the value of his
services to his country. AS the per-
spective lengthens Lincoln looms
larger on the national horizon, and
today on this anniversary he stands
with Washington as one of the truly
great Americans.
In the. simplicity of the ceremony
incidental to the laying of the cor
ner stone of the national memorial to
Lincoln in this city there is a certain
appropriateness. Lincoln himself
was not man of show or formality.
He was plain in manner as in ap-
pearance, without ostentation, with
no artificial graces. His life was
simple, his speech was direct and
homely and the ceremonies of official
life were distateful to him. Never
theless it is important to mark the
occasion distinctly, and in the pro-
gram of today there is a suitable re-
Election both of Lincoln's character
and of the national feeling for him

Cable to Germany?
rorn the New York Times.

Since Germany now has no warships
afioat upon the ocean, save perhaps the
Karlsruhe and the Dresden, and no
merchant ships on any sea, would II be
incompatible with the military inter-
ests of Great Britain and her allies to
permit the re-establishment of cable
communication between this country
Emden? 1t is difficult to see how Ger
many could obtain from this country
any information that would be to her
military advantage. Conceivably the
Interests of neutral nations and the in
terests of peace might be served by es-
tablishing some other means of COM
munication than those now existing
through the Scandinavian countries,
Amsterdam, London and the wireless
messages to SayvtllA

For Country's Sake.

Ii Uncle Jim should lose his voice,
l honestly believe
That thousands who today rejoice
Would soon begin to grieve
When questions of the hour embroil
Our intellects profound,
The speech he makes is just like oil
Upon the waves of sound.
He talks much louder than them all
And never needs a rest,
He lifts his voice at duty's call
And MARBLES by request.
Great navies may not be our choice
And armies may seem rash,
But Uncle Jim-without his voice
Our land 'ud go to smashl

HOME FROM AUTO TOUR
r. J. Garrison and Son, Earling, Re-
urnt From Tour Of Eastern Iowa
Heavy Roads East.

r. j. Garrison and son, EarlinG, re-
turned at late hour on Monday night
from an extended auto trip through the
eastern part Of the state, coming back
by way of Des MoineS. During their
absence they visited Mr. GarriSon's
old home in Cedar county, where he
formerly was in business. Just as Il
matter of curiosity he visited the
farm he owned many years ago. lie
met ii number of his old friends and
enjoyed the trip immensely. The re,
ports are rather interesting concern
ing the roads in different localities The
rains have been heavy and conlinl-
Gus for some time and the roads about
Des Moincs are practically impossible.
On Monday afternoon he had decided
that reaching Denison in his automo
bile was out of the question, but while
in the garage car came in from the
north and he inquired about the roads
north of DcS Moines and was told
that ten miles out of Des MOincs the
roads were in splendid condition all
the way to Denison. He decided to
leave Des Moines at once and after
passing over the stretch of bad road
near the city found no difficulty in
reaching home that night.

ton is not in massive forts OF mason

line of live men, buried in fur
row in the earth away from the CITY

her garb he can get and the private S

No more lounging around bright camp

1t is not the enormous cannon of

of the man in the sky on the wings

DO not these great siege lines of

PEACEFUL ANNEXATION.

Woodrow Wilson is becoming some
what impatient with the Mexican sit
nation, and it is probable that this
country will take some action to re-
store peace in that country. Mexico
is a puzzle, and there are as many
different opinions as to what should
be done, as there are individuals to
discuss the question. Famine con
fronts the people, crimes are being
committed on the American side by
Mexicans. Those people are becom-
ing desperate. For four years war
has been raging, civilization is being
destroyed, the younger set is being
reared in ignorance, they are being
stepped in ideas of crime, and at our
very door serious situation is be-
coming more serious.
An invading army from this coun-
try would probably result in the
coalition Of the Mexican forces, which
would be better for that country. 1t
is probable that without bloodshed
we could occupy the northern states
and allow those citizens to hold cleo
tions to decide upon the question OF
annexation to the United States. The
northern provinces have largely ia
vored annexation before the war ever
began and it is reasonable to presume
that if the people there were per
mitted to speak their real sentiments
in an election they would vote to be-
come part of the United States
and accept the peace and protection
our country would give them.
In case decisive action must be
taken-and it looks that way now
this country will take a portion of
Mexico. 1t can be taken by a vote
of the citizens, it can be taken peace
ably, it will add to our domain, 1t
will result in building a great south
ern empire that will be advantageous
to our trade, and it would soon be
settled with Americans as Indian
Territory is settled at this time
Lower California could be taken, its
mines could be developed. II would
make an ideal naval base and would
remove a dangerous figure from the
coast of our country. If force must
be used to restore peace and to save
the starving and to plant civilization,
il is our plain duty to. extend the
territory of our country Some map
changing would be healthful to our
country.

WHAT OF THE DUTCH?

British diplomacy has done more
for the success OF the allies than Brit
ish arms have done. British diplo-
macy will still do more. The opinion
prevails that victory will finally be
with the allies, and the European
states naturally want to be with the
winning side. 1t is possible, and it
Is also probable that England will
induce Holland to enter the war
against the Germans. The Dutch
soldier is not so much needed as the
Dutch territory is needed in the war
zone, from the standpoint of the al
lies. With Holland in the maelstrom
the English could place an invading
army there which could fight its way
to German soil and when portion
of the German nation is invaded it
will materially interfere with the food
supply, and hasten the capitulation of
the country.

Sugar VS.. Tobacco.

A London newspaper notes that
General Joffre, at the head of the
French army, is not much of smok-
er. but is in the habit of munching
sugar, OF which he carries small
supply with him. The theory is
growing that sweets are a remedy,
both prompt and sure, for fatigue.
And that is probably the explanation
of the rise of the chocolate industry,
in which at least several good-sized
fortunes have been made in Europe
and America. Ii also explains, in
part, the success of the chain of
candy stores, no doubt. But II opens
wide field for sugar in the capacity
of both food and drink. Scientific
experiments prove that sugar gives
quickly-within a few hours-an in
crement of physical power ranging
from 60 to 75 per cent. The jam
industry of Great Britain, which
country consumes so much OF the
sugar imports, is part OF the worlds
growing desire for sweets in food

QUESTION Of
B|BLESTUDY|N
RURAL SCHOOLS
GOVERNOR WILLIAMS SAYS HE
is IN FAVOR OF PLAN - MAT.
TER BEING WORKED OUT BY
BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Oklahoma City, June IA propo-
ston that was presented to the state
board of education last week to the
effect that rural schools should be
permitted to accept Bible study in
lieu of ancient history for credits on
examination, was not decided by the
board, but will come up at another
meeting. The plan suggested was to
permit pupils to be examined on the
historical facts cleaned from study
of the Bible outside the school
generally in the Sunday schools-and
to give them grades on that eXami-
nation as to ancient history. Cover
nor Williams was consulted by pro-
tagonists of this plan. He did not
discourage it. Rather, he approved it,
with supplementary arrangements.
His additions to the plan are that
other books that contain historical
facts should also be used if the pupil
so desires.
Il am in favor OF the Bible study"
said Governor Williams. ut is
good thing and more people ought to
read and study the Bible. would also
permit pupils to study the Talmud.
the Koran and the Veda and be ex-
amined if they so desire, instead of
ancient history. They are all his
torical books that ought to be better
known The faith of the Hindus and
the Mohammedans is ancient and the
historical facts in their scriptures are
worthy and should be known. The
educational institutions of Oklahoma
ought to be broad and comprehensive.
Only narrow person would oppose
Bible study and examination in it in
lieu of ancient history in the common
schools, and the breadth of view that
admits the Bible ought to permit the
Veda and the Koran to be used in like
manner"
