A POEM BY LINCOLN.
Written Upon His Return to His
Childhood Home.

To THE EpIroR OF The suN-str: As
the public never ceases to take an in
tense interest An every story relating to
Abraham Lincoln. and they are now get
ting to be scarce. I take pleasure In
sending a copy Of a poem written by Lin
coin upon his return TO the neighborhood
where he was raised after an absence Of
about fifteen years. He said. that part
OF the country was about as unpoetical
as any spot on earth; but stin efeing its
objects and Inhabitants aroused feelings
which WAS certainly poetry. but whether
the expression OF those feelings Is poetry
Ia quite another question" This he
wrote to q friend, William johnson by
name, OF like poetic tastes
That Lincoln was able TO write poetry
is not generally known, and quote from
Oldroyd's ''The Poets Lincoln" this in
teresting specimen.

HUI ratified, bind the Unit

constantly in European affair,
with its army, navy and
money? Hardly, unless public
opinion approves of interven-
ton. The treaty undertakes to
separate millions of people
from their nationals and place
them under the jurisdiction of
new states of different racial
strains. The treaty multiplies
the number of potential AL
sace-Lorraines by ten. If these
forcibly created racial minori-
ties have their rights properly
safeguarded, if they are treat
ed as equals before the law, if
they are given linguistic and
religious freedom, the wound
will heal in time and the diff
ferent races will get along as
well together as the French,
German and Italian elements
of Switzerland.
But if the dominant race
tries by force to denationalize
the minority, as the Germans
did in AIsace-Lorraine and Po-
land, as the Serbs are doing
right now in Montenegro and
Croatia, then new conflicts are

bile industry was less develop

airplanes today.
One car is being produced
for every SO of this country's
population, according to the
figures. Umatilla county has
one car for every seven of its
population, or seven times the
average of production this
year. 1t will probably not be
long before airplanes are just
as plentiful.
In spite of the great produc-
tion of motor vehicles this year,
the country is 100000 autos
short of the demand today. 1t
is no wonder that in 20 years
the industry has grown to be
the country's third greatest.

CIVILIZATIONS HOPE

~ S civilization due for a
crash or are the worlds
- peoples evolving into a
new state, neither savage, bar
barrie or civilized? The evil
dences of civilization as known
to the present generation are
rapidly vanishing in almost
every part of the globe. What
is to be the next development
is interesting matter for con-
lecture.
Greed is becoming one of the
ruling passions of the worlds
populace. 1t appears in natl
ons, reaching out for lands to
exploit commercially. These
exploitations often take on the
form of conquest, if not by ac-
tual warfare by means almost
as deadly. Greed is also a
personal or group characteris-
tic growing upon people. The
profiteer is an example of this.
A few persons would hold the
destinies of their nation or the
world in the palm of their
hands.
Distrust and suspicion, envy
and aspiration are growing.
Nations are binding together by
pacts and secret treaties and
peoples crying for self determi-
nation are threatening civil
war to obtain their freedom.
The heritage of the recent war
is a struggle of commercialism
and a wave of unrest never be-
fore surpassed.
Crimes of every variety are
on the increase. Politics is be-
ing blamed for the failure of
remedial measures in many
ways being taken. The future
of the whole world looks dubi-
Gus.
The United States is still the
most enlightened of nations. 1t
was looked to by the defensive
nations as a deliverer from the
Hun curse and it delivered. 1t
is now looked to as a keeper of
the peace as a part of the
League of Nations. While the
United States allows the ulti-
mate peace to be juggled at
the finger tips of a few wilful
men, the bright hopes for the
worlds future remain veiled.
Civilization is in a defensive
fight for its life and the United
States senate can be its right
arm if it will. The League of
Nations covenant is the hope of
the world and that hope rests
with the senate.

EXPORTS OF FOODSTUFFS

~ N view of the agitation
over the high prices for
- food it is interesting to
note that in the month of June,
according to the figures of the
Department of Commerce,
40 per cent of the total ex-
ports for June, amounting to
1898, 100000, was food. Six
teen million bushels of wheat
and 3,500,00O barrels of wheat
flour were exported during the
month, besides 100000
bushels of rye, 100000 BUSH
els of barley and other grains
and grain products valued at
'$17,000000. More than $174,-
100000 worth of meats and
dairy products were exported,
the principal items being 27O,-
100000 pounds of bacon and
ham, 117,0O0,00O pounds of
lard and lis, 100000 pounds
of condensed milk.
. In addition to these were raw
materials of various kinds, all
food products. 1t is useless to
boast of q large increase in for
eign trade as a sign of prosper
ity when our own people can
not buy and consume sufficient
to keep them from want.

BIsMARCK's WINE THIRST.
Man OF Blood and Iron Drank 5000
Bottles of Champagne.

In his choice of drinks Bismarck
displayed a somewhat unpatriotic
spirit. Talking to Mr.. John Booth in
1879. Bismarck confessed that when
stationed at st. Petersburg. he used
10 drink two bottles of champagne a
day.
He estimated that altogether he had
drunk 5000 bottles of champagne and
smoked 100000 cigars.
On another occasion Bismarck de-
clared that beer "makes men stupid,
lazy and useless II Is responsible for
the democratic nonsense spouted over
the tavern tables A good rye whiskey
is very much better"
