Old oliver Onken Realizes He Is the

"My sOn-in-law, Luther Stuckey

yet, paradoXical as it sounds, he Is a

sings a squealing tenor, he can second

SAW BIRTH OF GREAT MEN
Year 1909 Was Remarkable for the
Advent Of a Number of Personages
Who Won Distinction.

During 1909 occurred the births Of
more distinguished persons than In
any other year of the last century. 1t
IS, of course, just possible, though
not at all likely, that during one of
the last few years of the century
there may have been born children
whom the future will prove to be as
great as those who saw the light in
lSO9. but all probabilities are against
It, 1t would be truly marvellous should
any one Of those years have brought
into being celebrities whose names
shall one day rank with those of the
Americans Lincoln, Poe and Holmes;
the EngliShmen Darwin, Tennyson and
Gladstone and the English woman
Elizabeth Barrett Browning; the Ger.
man MendelSsOhn and the Pole Chopin
These names stand for achievement in
craftsmanship, literature, music and
science that must remain unparalleled
so far as human intelligence can fore
see The eighteenth century had such
" N'"i III Iva, WHICH mas Dctu NdINb
THE Year of Great Babies"
The conditions of unrest, of enfran-
chisement, the opportunities that came
TO these notabilities in their youth can
hardly be repeated.
To those who believe in the mystic
properties of numbers there will be
significance In the fact that to 1909 be-
longs series of significant dates that
seem to be connected in some occult
way with human liberty. Though we
may admit that there Is no real signifi-
canoe in the condolences, It is at least
interesting to know how many dates
ending with the figure 8 have been
Notable for marking eras In human
freedom.
Beginning with the Christian era,
the year 2 saw the first great victory
Of the Germanic tribes under Hermann,
or Armlnius, the first rising Of that
power which was TO destroy the Roman
empire and make civilization Germanic.
The year % Is the date of the Cruel
fixion, most significant of all in the
history of human liberty.

Inkerman is an elevated site In the
Crimea. near the eastern extremity of
the harbor of SebastOpol, memorable
as the scene of a battle of the Crlmean
war between an army of 10000 Rus
slams and detached troops from the al
lied forces consisting of about $4,000
men. At about five o'clock on the
morning Of November s, 1854, the Rus
slams crowded up the slopes on which
the allies were posted. Here portion
OF the English Royal guards made a
heroic stand against body Of Rus
slams that was probably five times rs
numerous. When Russian victory
seemed almost assured, French re-en-
forcements came to the aid of the Brit
ish, and by splendid charge drove the
enemy from the field.

planks of that platform will deal with

the propositions with which the party
may be expected to go before the pcO-

Fair representation for labor in all

Development Of closer relations be-

the triangle, the public.
Sympathetic help for business, not
antagonIstic curtaiment, as part of
the economic readjuStment.
Strong represslve measures against

tremism which advocate overthrow Of
the present form Of government.
Efficient and honest administration.
No taxes which kill initiative AIDE
Quate taxes, but none for eXtraya-

A plan for spreading payment Of the
war debt over long period Of years,
No undue liberalization Of indus
tries and activities, such as railroads;

No liberation Of attempts TO array
group against group section against
