LlNcoLN,s ANNIVERSARY.

One hundred and eight years ago
today America gave to the world Abra-
ham Lincoln, probably next to George
washington. the most universally be-
loved man in all the history of the
Republic. 1t was Lincoln who presld-
.ed over the destinies of the country
during the four most perilous years IN
it's history. He had a rare genius Tor
organization, for direction, for knowl-
edge of human nature. Had 1t not
been for Lincoln's ability and patience
and knowledge of men and determine

result to the titanic contest. Govern

Lincoln is the incarnation, the very
embodiment of American democracy
He ia altogether the finest example OF
the spirit of the democracy that has
made this nation great and strong and
worthy of its high mission. Lincoln
was a master of pure and classic Eng

LOCAL PATRIOTISM.

Members of the Junior Oroer Oh
Cciumbia have unanimously adopted
q resolution pledging support to the
1resident in this crisis and to any
rneasures that he may adopt to pre-
serve the rights and honor OF Ameri
cans at home and abroad. This is
patriotic. 1t is the proper spirit.
whatever opinion one might have en-
tertained a week or ten days ago con-
cerning the merits of the controversy
with Germany as a true patrlotlc
American he has now but one course
md that is to defend the president
and the congress. Officially and legal
Nv Germany from last Saturday at
noon became an outlaw from the favor
and sympathy of the American people
No sort of relations longer exist De
tween this country and that empire
ats conduct was such that in the opin
ION of the president and the senate IT
was no lonssr entitled to any sort OF
automatic relations with this country.
1t had so outraged all sentiments OF
Aumanity and all regard for interna-
tional rights as to be barred from the
favor and the consideration OF the
limited States. 1t is the, duty OF the
Americans in such circumstances to
stand for and defend the course OF the
f,uiv constituted authorities of the ma.
kinn.
The men of the First Methodist
church acted we'll. They declared FOL
raace "if consistent with the national
honor" That is the proper spirit. i
A the true American spirit. 1t is the

me brightest pages Of the worlds his
tory. There can be no question apou'
me president having the support o.
the people of this country In this
crisis. Here and there some signs o.
faltering are shown. Bryans emotion
aHsm gets some support. There are
stiil German sympathizers and ny
,hens who will not 'whole-heartedly
stand for and with the president O
the United States, but the number Il
not large. The great German-Ameri
can Alliance has pledged its supper

n necessary, bear arms in defense 0
their adopted country. This Is OK
.ceedingly gratifying. One cannot, II
ali the circumstances, refuse then
sympathy. Their lot is rather dill
. cult one, but they have seemingly me
