Swett, law partner of Lincoln; Richard Yates, soon to become the "war governor" of H. linois, and others made rousing speeches. Amidst them all," says Clark E. Carr, who tells of the incident which is the theme of this article, in his historical story rhe Illini,"
 'so quietly and unpretentiously that at the be- ginning they scarcely realized that he was a factor in the convention, the genius of Abra- ham Lincoln watched and controlled its every movement"
 All the others had spoken; most of them had spoken eloquently and inspiringly, when Lincoln was called to the speakers stand Perhaps more has been said and written about the speech that followed than about any other which Abraham Lincoln ever made, ex- cept perhaps his Gettysburg address, yet everything that has been said about it has been unsatisfactory, because no votes of it were taken, and such reports as have been given from the memory of those present are found, on comparison, to be dissinilar. "Those who began to make notes," as Carr testifies, and in this he is supported by many others, "soon forgot pencil and paper and listened in rapt attention" On one point only are all statements of the incident in entire agreement, and this is that the speech was la remarkable one; that it held the attention |of the convention from beginning to end and that at its conclusion, and even after the un- gainly figure of the speaker had retired from the platform, there was deep silence, soon to be broken by exclamations of wonder and admiration rather than by cheers. But of the speech itself there is no record.

A GOOD MOVE

There has been so much dissatisfaction expressed over the way in which the investi- gation of the Sophia disaster was carried out that the territorial legislature has taken up the matter. They are to carry on an investi- gation themselves of the facts pertaining to probating the estates of the victims of the disaster, for there have been many rumors afloat concerning corrupt practices of the at torneys appointed to act as administrators.
 Whether there is truth or not in the all legged corruption of the attorneys, since there is such rumors it is wise move for the legis- lature to take steps to arrive at the truth in the matter. The whole affair has been most unfortunate, for there have been conflicting opinions as to the necessity of the entire loss of life. Apparently, too, there have been ef- forts made to free the officials of the steam ship company and the officers of the boat itself from all blame for the disaster. This has been done in the face of testimony plac- ing the blame upon the captain of the boat, and 1t has taken what seems to be under handed methods to bring this about The fact that it was Canadian boat has complicated matters still more, for it has been difficult to obtain any satisfaction from the government officials in charge of the investigation,
 The friends and relatives of the victims of the disaster have suffered great deal be- cause of this inability to gain any satisfaction as to the facts surrounding the terrible acci- dent. The investigation that will be carried on by the legislature should help to clear up some of the misunderstanding and rumors of corruption that are rife at present. If the attorneys concerned in the probation of the estates of the victims have used corrupt and dishonest measures, the facts should be known and the attorneys should be punished It is a pretty small calibered man who would take advantage of an opportunity offered by such circumstances for his personal gain It should be ferreted to the earth, and all corruption and malpractice should be summarily dealt with, in order that justice may be done to the survivors of the unfortunate people who met their death in the disaster.

lOSS COlulCCIcu W1Iu tIlc SOClCIlCS 1OT tIlc Wcl- fare of the army in the field. They have also been ill the first line trenches and have done their invaluable work efficiently and thoroly. They aided materially in keeping up the mor ale of the fighting men, and in this way their services were invaluable. Without them and their refreshing and steadying influence, there would not have been much to relieve the fear full conditions of the war.
 But the women who stayed at home, who were the women behind the women in the first line trenches, deserve goodly share of the credit, tho they did not share in the glory of the actual active part They did the essen tial work that had to be done to keep their sisters on active duty in the war zone. They organized themselves, rolled bandages, made surgical dressings, and hospital necessities, worked indefatigably for the various war ser vice funds, devoted themselves unstintingly to the comfort and welfare of the boys in the training camps, altogether proving themselves equal to the unusual demands made upon them.
 But not the least of the support that the women at home gave to the cause of the coun- try and humanity was in their handling of the food situation. If they had not thrown themselves ill with the plans of the food ad- ministration to their full capacity, the won- derful work done by America in feeding her allies would not have been possible They were told that food would win the war, and, without hesitation, they plunged into the task of saving and raising this food. They made and tended gardens; they canned dried, and preserved the results of these efforts; they substituted untried substances for the com mon necessities that they latter might be available for export to our needy allies. They saved, they scrimped, and worked that they might have money with which to buy Liberty bonds and Thrift Stamps, and even more, they took active part in the campaigns to sell the government securities most successfully And turnout all their activities, like the women of the French revolution, there was the under current of their ceaseless knitting. They made knitted garments in an endless stream for their soldiers, keeping them supplied with warm comfort-b bringing apparel.
 The American women rose to the occa- sion nobly, showing their worth collectively and singly. They deserve the tribute paid to them by General Pershing, who, of all peo- pie, should be in position to realize how much they contributed to the general success of Americas part in the winning of the war

put it out of the running for all time as nav al stronghold of Germany, for with it owned and used by all nations Germany can never use it again as the store house for her navy as in the Great War. It will render it use less for this, and SO will be one more tie to bind the crushed military machine of Ger many.
 The Rhine river in the past has been con- trolled by commission composed of Dutch and German representatives, but in the fu- ture it will be in the hands of an allied com mission. This serves to throw this famous waterway open to the nations of the earth. The Rhine has been one of the most romantic of rivers, figuring largely ill all German liter ature Its banks have been the scenes of many historic German battles, and the famous cas- ties of the Rhine are veritable strongholds o1 legend and romance. "The Watch on the Rhine," the national song of Germany, breathes love for the river, as typifying the Fatherland, and is evidence of the regard that all Germans feel for it.
 It has been an important factor ill the economic life of the German nation as we'll for it has been the means of transportation from Germany into the bordering countries and to the sea. With it under the control of the al- lies the German hope of world dominance must surely be ground in the dust. It is a stroke at the very vitals of both the arrogant, "divinely appointed spirit of the German people and their economic ambitions.
 Switzerland has already asked for the rights to use the Rhine river and will doubt less profit much by the opening of it to other countries. Switzerland is about the most in- accessible country in Europe, and the use ot this waterway will make it easier for the lit tie mountainous republic to carry on con- merce with the rest of the world.
 By opening the waterways of Germany for the use of all nations, the allies are taking steps that will make it impossible for the rise again of anything like the power that Ger many had before the war.
