TENTATIVE TICKET TALK

The tentative republican state tick ct printed last week has a strong sound to it and contains names that would compell our democratic breth- ren to sit up and take notice, if they are placed in nomination at the state convention. The mention of the editor of The Sun by Thos. Maddock for the office of state corporation commission CT came from the goodness of his heart and we appreciate the compli- ment, but we thoroughly reneg on the proposition and believe in good truth that Mir. Maddock is splendidly equip ped mentally, morally and physically for the place. Aside from that he is hustler that would make fast campaign. The ticket is not nomi- mated and there is plenty of time for changes, but generally speaking it is a good one, and has been commented upon favorably pretty generally.

If Messrs. Wilson and McAdoo sue ceed in imposing any more stamp taxes upon this country they will do so only after they have overcome the opposition of Speaker Champ Clark, who threatens to take the floor to make fight against any such pro- gramme In the light of history this is not fearsome threat-for in the last Congress Mir. Clark took the floor to oppose the President in the matter of the canal tolls and was unsuccess- ful. To be sure, the democratic ma jority in this Congress is much small CT than it was then and there are more constituents to be affected by the stamp taxes.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

One hundred and seven years ago Abraham Lincoln was born, in poyer- ty, a lowly atom in human life. Fifty one years ago he was shot by John Wilkes Booth, dying the next day. Nations mourned the death of a man,
 Think of the grandeloquent oratory of today, the drool of incompetents, who endeavor to mystify by long words and conceal their ignorance and incompetency thereby, then compare them with words, simple and so expressive that child might read and understand-Lincoln's Gettys- burg address, delivered Nov. 18th, 1863:
 Eourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this conti- nent new nation, conceived in fiber ty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
 Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any other nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in larger sense, we cannot dedicate-we cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have con secrated it. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it cannot forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this na- tion, under God, shall have new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

THE FREE SPACE vULTURE

It's truly wonderful how many great boosting corporations of the country will send out long letters they wish printed "for the information of the public" far be it from them to desire this to be understood as free advertising, it is merely information for the public in order that the com pany or corporation may be better understood and patronized-that's all. These corporations fully understand the value of advertising, especially free advertising, all in the interest of the public. It is equally amazing how many newspapers give them the space. Probably because they know that these corporations need the help to keep them from reducing dividends, which would be a disaster not to be considered. Their campaign of secur- ing free publicity at least is evidence that they know the value of advertis- ing whether they are willing to pay for it or not. It a publisher asked them for their goods free, how quickly would he be advised of his supreme nerve and gall. It is great system and the sooner these space vultures are whacked on the head, the sooner they will realize that they are not entitled to free advertising.

It seems to surprise good many of the democratic brethren because Congressman Mann, the republican floor leader, stood shoulder to should CT with Speaker Champ Clark in ad- vocating preparedness of America.

The enternal revenue law should be a success so far as revenue for the government is concerned. It isn't so much question of what income you have as it is how much the govern ment needs to make up deficits. If they knew how much they needed in advance, it would be easier to appor- tion it, for its all in the game of bookkeeping.

Bible Readjnu,

An old colored man who failed to
find Bible in the Jefferson hospital
rummage sale was asked if something
else would do; and he answered that
he did not care to adapt his time to
any other reading. The negro boy who
gave the name "Onesimus" in the mu-
nicipal court promptly traced the name
to st. Paul's epistle to Philemon. That
the reading Of the Scriptures in these
bellicose times is not confined to the
race of Booker Washington and Major
Motion is shown by the fact that the
Bible society has sent 100000 Bibles
to soldiers, captives and refugees.
Often the continuance of the war is
ascribed to the lethargy of churchmen.
1t is not those who put into applica-
tion the spirit of the Sermon on the
Mount who have made the Song of
Hate" their song of songs. The Bible
is the antithesis of the militaristic
mania and the heather heart. The
Old Testament is filed with battle and
murder, to be sure, but it is a pagan
mistranslator who infers that he is
to go and do likewise in order to be
blest.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Columbus.-Paving brick made by
penitentiary convicts at the state brick
plant at Junction City is to be used in
the paving of APT miles of the New
Lexington-Athens road, Perry county.
This is the first time such brick has
been used in Ohio, State Highway Com
missioner Cowen announced that alter
nate bids will be received June Is for
the construction of this road by either
brick or concrete, and if the lowest
bid for concrete construction does not
show too large a difference between
the cost estimated by the state for
constructing both types, prison-made
brick will be used.
If it is decided to build the road with
Jrick, as is probable, Mr.. Cowen states
that 1900, 900 brick, the amount now
at the plant, will be used in its con
struction. The price to be paid to the
board of administration is SO a thou
sand. Ordinarily the average price OF
brick is SIS a thousand. The portion
! of the road under consideration is be
tween Rendville and Moxahala. Rend
vile is only a few miles from Junction
City and the cost Of shipping will be
comparatively light The state high
way department will buy the brick di
rect from the board of administration
and furnish it to the contractor.

and the possibility or probability OF
starving out one or other of the bel

pie will eat at pinch.
A recent arctic explorer seriously
advised the wearing of skin clothing
in preference to woolen, simply and
solely because, if the worst came to
the worst, ones outfit could be stewed
for a meal, or at any rate given to the

MANY Freak Fires.

Fire is likely to happen any
where. 1t hardly seems plausible
that the fire fiend could make any
headway in an ice house, but it is
fact that eight such places were de-
stroyed by fire during the past year.
The records of the state fire marshal's
office show this. They also disclose
that one water tank building, one
pump house, three boat houses and
three boats were burned during the
year. The worst fire of the lot was
the one which destroyed the water
tank building. A nervy fellow is the
fire fiend; he doesn't hesitate to attack
his greatest foe, water. Another un-
usual fire was one that occurred at a
fish hatchery. There was one court
house fire and two brewery fires.
There was one infrmary fire.
