PROTECTING AMERICA AGAINST
ARMED REBELLION.

There are certain American citi-
zens, many of them well-meaning,
who are strongly opposed to the de-
portation of alien Bolsheviki, Com
munists and I. W., WIS and to the ar
rest of Americans having the same
beliefs.
They look upon these jailed agi-
tators as being prosecuted because
they have organized new party in
America. Secretary of Labor Will
son has blasted this argument by
showing that Bolshevism, Communism
and /. w. ..W.ism are not new politi-
cal parties at all, but purely organ
izations of, rebels who seek. to destroy
our government than that,
their chief aim is, to Destroy sur
democratic system.
AS democrats we of America be-
lieve in the rule Of the majority. We
believe that the majority in this coun-
try opposed to the overturn of the
government and of democracy is
greater than 100 to /. The Bolshe-
visits, l. w. w. and Communists in
America believe that their puny min
ority will should rule. Are they
right? Should they, that is, one in
100, rule in America as the very slen-
der minority rules today in Russia?
Of course not! It is therefore the
duty of this vast majority to protect
itself and, as Secretary Wilson points
out, 1--WE, the people" of democratic
America, are protecting ourselves
against armed rebellion, against the
horrors of civil war, by arresting
American rebels and deporting alien
revolutionists who have repeatedly
threatened to make American streets
run red with blood.

ONLY LAND LINCOLN EVER
OWNED WAS AT DENIsON

ONLY LAND LINCOLN EVER
OWNED WAS AT DENISON, Ia.
Almost within sight Of the Lincoln
Highway, just a few miles ont Of
Denison, Iowa, lies the only piece Of
ground Abraham Lincoln ever owned.
It is rather a poor farm, as Iowa
farms go, for it is round and hilly,
good only for stock feeding. It 10
hard to find and he who seeks it must
wander around in the hills out Of
Denison before he locates it.
The farm was decided to Lincoln
for his service in the Blackhawk war,
and though he never lived pn it, there
is reason to believe that he Wis plan
ming when public life was oyer TO re-
tire to his Iowa farm and spend the
remainder Of his days there.
Booths deed at Ford's opera house
put an end to his plans.
When Lincoln fell, martyr before
the assassin's gun, he left his farm
to his son Robert Todd Lincoln. It
remained in the young Lineoln's
hands for some years.
The records at Denison show the
land to have undergone the following
changes of title:
Patent from the United States gov
ernment to Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln to Robert Todd
Lincoln, his son.
Robert Todd Lincoln to Henry Ed.
wards.
Henry Edwards to e. T. Cochran.
E. +. Cochran to Peter r. Jepson.
Peter F. Jepson to Jurgcn Jopson
and Julius Jepson, his sons.
The "Abe Lincoln Farm Of l?o
acres was kept intact until the death
OF Peter Jepson, when it was divided
forty acres to Julius and eighty TO
Jurgen.
Opposite the name of Lincoln in tha
Denison records, some one has writ
ten in the script Of by-gone days:
"Rail president-elect, for services
in Blackhawk war, captain"
The patent was signed by James
Buchanan, whom Lincoln was des-
tined so soon to succeed.
Lincoln became an owner Of Iowa
real estate Sept. 10, 1860, four months
after he had been nominated for the
presidency, and two months prior 20
his election.

SECRET SERVICE MEN BUSY AT
LOGAN.

Logan, Ia.,-Several United States
government agents, railroad secret
men and county officials are still
working upon the wine stealing case
which has developed into a county
scandal.
1t appears that when the sheriff
discovered what was going on and
that scores of men and boys were car
rying the wine away in buckets, milk
cans, dish pans, ETC., he attempted to
stop them, but was powerless and
contented himself with taking the
names Of all engaged in the illeged
wholesale theft.
The two tank cars filled with wine
which were being shipped from Cali
fornia to New York, were in string
of freight cars which had been set
out on a side track because of bad
order car. The wine cars were sep
arated by other cars and this fact
made it impossible for the officers to
handle the crowd.
The wine cars were being trans
ported under government seal and
bond, and if it is proven that the seal
was broken, as is alleged, or that the
wine was stolen from the cars, most
serious charge. will lie against the
offenders.
The claim is made that the cars de-
veloped leak and that the celebrants
were merely engaged in saving the
liquor from being absorbed by the
ground. This is denied by the au-
thorities Dunlap Reporter.
