Paris, Dec. 1o.-Premier Hcrriot is confined to his room today with q serious attack of grip. His physicians bulletin says his malady is accompanied by 8 swelling of the leg. !, The. prelnlcr has been ailing for more than Q week, He saw his doctor about 10 days ago and was told he had better take 8 rest. He insisted upon going on with his en- gagcments. however, and got through with them until today. al- though his tired condition was re- marked during his trip to Roubaix Sunday.
 s The premier's friends hoped his iron constitution would enable him to hold out during this particularly trying period, but he was taken ill during the early hours this morn ing after last nights especially try ing session of the chamber of depu- ties.
 The bulletin issued from the pre- micr's ministerial offices read:
 The premier is affected with grip, with pains in the legs.

 The first the public new that the head of the government was ailing was the publication of the doctors bulletin. This caused some alarm, as 1t was regarded as unusual that such a bulletin should be issued for a simple attack of grip and at the outset of any insignificant illness.

LINCOLN

The foundation of Lincoln's fame was character. To this
there is world-w ID consent. Such consent is spontaneous, I'M
forced, unhesitant, and arises as though by common instinct and
moral intuition. llncolns common life was grand, genial and
genuine. For who would care to make a careful survey of the
moral realm, Lincolns life is a challenge. 1t is worth ones while
to consider the thoughtfulness of his character. He used his eyes
unsparingy, and his mind had insight. This was more than men,
tai cunning. He drilled and pierced into the massive, stubborn
He fixed his eyes upon government, and not in vain. 1t is not
wrong to say, that his moral judgments and resolves were the
winnings of exactness and most exacing mental toll. His fore
sight was unusual. In gertrude touching things to come he was
that his selected, sorrow-burdened path was the only way to hap
piness that could wear and satisfy. His insight was linked to
moral verltles. His character was sealed with prudence. The
carefulness OF the man was not sapience. His world of thought
was world of character; a world of liberty; Of binding obligation
of right and wrong; a world, in fact, where human souls outrank
all other things, like God.
Lincoln's estimate of law was almost profound. When he
traced and found sovereign obligations to which he bowed his
life, his estimate and attitude were as though he stood face to
face with the Almighty. His courtly defense to duty was exceed
will persist to challenge and to test each studied statement of his
character. His free-choce is impossible to omit in our thought
OF the man. That choice was free and unconstrained. In its
ripper stages his mental action was a pure elaboration. In hin
choice and seasoned wisdom were inseparable. We can under
stand his decisions only as we understand his mental traits. Nor
al resolutions led him from the multitudes. He chose a path of
life from which the world draws back, and yet, in that choice he
received the communication of the world. He pondered the WAYS
OF God; pondered the lives and the souls of men; the principles of
society. The aspiration of his life was to be fair, and kind, and
thoughtful, free and obedient life. Here in brief and in full is
1ncons character.
In that character was GodIike potency. fluency and dignity.
Here was simplicity amid turbulence. Such characteristics all the
of wisdom, freedom and obedience along the way where LOYALTY,
character, humility and hope of immortality shines ever bright
er unto the perfect day. Here is wisdom. Here worth. And
here these two are one.

State Loses
First Round
in Oil Fight
Has Failed to Produce Evi.
dence Warranting Tenn
porary Injunction, Judge
Hastings Finds.
Formal Order Tomorrow

The state legal department. headed
by Attorney General Spillman. has
failed to produce any evidence to
warrant issuance Of temporary re-
straining order of court against the
II oil companies doing business in
Nebraska District Judge William G..
Hastings said Thursday afternoon.
Unless the state can produce more
evidence. no temporary restraining
order will be granted" said the court.
NO emergenses has been shown"
The formal order denying the order
is to be entered Saturday morning.
Months OF Investigation.
The state attorneys spent months
of investigating. The hearing of the
case has taken weeks in the district
court. More than so affidavits were
filed. and Judge Hastings gave up
his vacation in order to go over
these carefully. Argument by the
state attorneys took nearly three
days, and defense attorneys argued
for more than a day.
Though gasoline IL selling at one
OF the lowest prices on record, Attor-
ney General Spillman, Assistant At
torney General T. j. Mcclure, John
p. Breen and Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral B. McNeny declared an "irre-
parable injury" would be done the
public unless the restraining order
were granted.
The state charged the companies
with conspiracy and confederation TO
fix prices and TO stifle competition by
local discrimination.
Can Ask Permanent Order.
The defendants all denied this. The
states attorneys suggested that no
harm could come Of issuing re-
strafning order prohibiting oil COM
panies from doing these things IL
they were not doing them. To which
defense attorneys inquired: Would
you be satisfied TO have an order
issued restraining you from beating
your wives IL you weren't beating
them?"
Attorney General spillman closed
the argument for the state.
The present decision denying the
temporary restraining order does not
prevent the state from going ahead
and trying the case for permanent
restraining order or injunction.
