LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG
ADDRESS.

Tuesday was the anniversary of
Lincoln's Gettysburg address, deliv-
cred fifty-five years ago in the midst
of the Civil war. The beauty. the
pathos, the splendor and the truth of
Lincoln's sentiments, and the master
ly effect with which they were ex-
pressed have been admired by count
less lovers of lofty themes in noble
forms.
The address contains a tremendous
lesson in patriotism, and is powerful
to touch the heart and sway the feel
ings today as the the day it was de-
livered by the great emancipation. AS
the product of a man who vas self
educated it is a marvel of literature
to critics of forenzic art and oratory.
AS an outpouring of the beliefs and
ideals of probably the greatest OF
Americans in history it marked his
broad humanity, and will stand as
long as the republic lasts as an in
SEPARATION to pure aims and exalted
thought.
Today, in the struggle that must fol-
low peace, while u civic life and in
dustrial relations are being worked
that must be done if the republic is
out on higher and better levels-and
to be lasting-such effusions as this
great appeal for right against wrong
should be brought as much as pos
| sible into the minds of the youth Of
the land, so that morality may be en-

OF FOOD.

People are inclined to be puzzled at
what appears a contradiction concern
ing food supplies and needs. While
white flour has been restored to gen.
eral use and the sugar allowance has
been raised in Montana and some
other states, Messrs. Hoover, Rey-
nolds and other national or interna-
tional authorities issue statements
that greater food conservation than
ever is imperative, because America
must feed the world.
There is no real incongruity. Food
will be needed in great quantity, and
more conservation is demanded to
meet the need. However, the supply

THE PUNISHMENT OF WILHELM.

Many ill-considered opinions have
been expressed as to the penalty that
ought to be inflicted upon the dethron-
ed German kaiser by a world into
which he has brought so much misery.
The feeling is almost universal that
his crimes transcend the provision of
criminal law, for he is the worlds
greatest criminal and eve the most
terrible statutory penalties fall mis-
erably short of his dessert. The
weakest suggestion is that he be ex-
tradited to England to be tried there
under the murder indictment brought
against him in the Lusitania case. To
begin with, no extradition writ would
be honored. But suppose he were tried,
found guilty, and executed. Would
not that end his ~sufferings? Retri-
button would cheat itself if so soon
his sufferings were ended.
Why should not every civilized hu-
mar being pray that this man of un-
speakable sin may live forever to un-
dergo through the unending years Of
time those mental t%ortures, far sur
passing any conceivable physical
pangs, which we may be sure are at
flicting him at this moment? Remorse
he may not feel; we cannot we'll know
the mental and spiritual nature Of this
Incompatible m%alefactor. But he must
feel the unreasonable difference be-
tween his present despised state and
that high position from which he has
fallen. Excruciating as that torment
must be, it is only the beginning. He
knows that the earth's millions de-
test him, loathe him, hate him with
a hatred never before visited upon
mortal man. They will shun him, or
seek him out only for hot reproach
and reviling. The guilt of ten million
murderers rest upon his soul, for he
is the man, the n man, who might
have stopped the war before it began
he was the greatest exemplar, preach
err, and practitioner of that theory o.
rule over men out of which the wa
was born. "Thou art the man" j!
what the world has said to him from
the beginning.
So let him live, let him live through
such davs of anguish and nights O.
sleepless torment that he will rag
furiously against any who, speakin,
from a sense of pity and belated 10y
atty, may cry out "Long live Wilhelm.

REDUCTION IN COAL "
PRICE BEING URGED.


Washington.-Red of the
price of coal about zoe ton to the
public was proposed to President
Wilson by the railroad abministra-
ton as the proper course if railroads
are required to pay much more for
coal than they have paid under pri-
vate corporation.
Under Fuel Administrator Gar
fields urgent recommendation that
railroads distribute cars evenly to
all mines, eliminating the 100 per
cent supply to those holding rail
road contracts, the railroad admin
istration now is represented as will
ing to pay about so ton, or nearly
6Oc more than the present average.
Since railroads use about one-third
of the total bituminous coal pro-
duction of the United States, rail-
road administration officials believe
the price to the public should be re-
duced in accordance with the in
creased price paid by the roads.
