Birthday of Lincoln Brings Back Memeories of Speech

Today, February 12, which is celebrated throughout the United States as the birthday of former President Lincoln, brings back to one the memory of the famous speech made by President Lincoln at the second inaugural address. The following is taken from the speech made by the president on March 1865: - “Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God will that it continue until all the wealth piled up by the bondsmen’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequitted toil shall be sunk, and Tntil every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said 3,000 years ago, so still it must be said.” “The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. With nalice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan; o do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

Some time ago, perhaps five or six years, the writer purchased a tract of iand in Newton county, Indiana, of Harry R. Kurrie, supposed to belong to Mrs. Kurrie. . The writer- sold the land to Kinder Kennedy, who in turn sold it to John A. Dunlap and Milton Graves. Dunlap and Graves seem to have sold to Coatney and Son, who were very industrious men and did between SSOO to SI,OOO worth of improving in the way of fencing, stone, hauling, resh t ngHng, ditching, etc. Yet the season of 1016 was a very hard one on them, floods, drouths and early frosts, rheir mortgage became due and they were closed out. Added to this is an attorney's fee, of Moses Leopold, of SIBO, which of course will cause that much more distress. Without demands or warning Kinder Kennedy and Everett Halstead were the only ones sued. Dunlap & Graves were very kindly excused from being sued. The land will of course sell for more than the mortgage. A suit against any one except the present owners means red tape. EVERETT HALSTEAD.

AU Youths to Begin. Training in 1918

The senate military committee Saturday reported the universal military training bill which requires all youths between the ages of 19-and 26, who are physically able, to undergo a period of six months’ training, beeiijnin" Jan. 1, 1918. The bill provides that on reaching’ of 19 all youths physical 1 y able and having no dependents shal! enter a training period of six months. The bill as submitted to the senate is said not unlike the measure being prepared by a group of staff officers under direction of Major General Scott, which will be presented to the President and afterwards probably used by the house military committee.

GERMANY CONVINED WAR IS UNAVOIDABLE

Genuine Desire to Keep U. S. Friendship, but Will Not Alter Wasp Order; Easy on America , Little hope or expectation prevails in Berlin tnat war with the United States is avoidable or that a reconciliation' between the two governments can be reached. There now is a desire on the part of the authorities and a vast bulk of the people to avoid actual hostilities in any way consistent with, the general fines of the present submarine policy, but only in such a way. Accordingly, instructions wore given, so the Associated Press has been reliably informed, to submarine commanders, before they started on their February mission, to take the safe side when neutral vessels, particularly American, were in question, whenever possible. Enemy merchantmen, when recognized as such were ordered to be sunk at sight, but neutral merchantmen were to be warped when such action in their judgment, was cosistent with the object of the campaign and the safety of their own ships. It was realized however, after the prompt and resolute stand taken by President Wilson, that these orders could only be palliative, and only defer, not avoid, an ultimate break. Also,that if President Wilson stood by his announcement that the destruction of American lives would be regarded as an act of hostility, a cause for war must come sooner or later, probably sooner on account of the number of Americans on enemy ships. Moreover, there was discretionary nature of the instructions to submarine commanders, who were inf o r med that while The careful course toward neutrals was recommended and desired, they would no longer be subjected to punishment for departing from their former procedure of warning, if they found it advisable.

Law Passed That Will Apply to This City

With the passage by the Senate Friday of the bill introduced m“the House by Representative Harker, providing for the appointment of park boards in cities of the fifth, class, the measure is now ready for signing by Governor Goodrich. Providing the executive signs the measure, it will become effective at once, as an emergency clause is attached. The measure will give the city councils in cities the size of Rensselaer power to appoint a board of citizens to adminster the affairs of the city park, taking these duties away from the city council. ~As we understand the law it is not obligatory on the council to create a park board, but will be done in most cases, according to requests sent in for the passage of the bill,

February Term of Court Started Today

The Jasper circuit court convened today for the February term. The session promises to be a rather quiet one, as there are no cases on the docket with very much interest attached to them. Probably the case that will attract the most attention is the Ryan ditch case, for there are a great many who are directly interested in it, and there will also be many witnesses called. It is not known whether the Stockton perjury case will come to trial OF HO#. Lfi—........ ;

DON’T BE DISCOURAGED Let Glando Help Yon. Grip, colds and tonsilitis are diseases that are prevalent or become epidemic during certain weather conditions. Each year the grip claims a number of victims who never recover from its terrible effect. The glands of the body (especially the liver and kidneys) are the blood purifiers or germ destroyers. GLANDO the great gland tonic acts directly upon the whole glandular system. The best time to doctor is when you begin to feel tired, achy or languid. These conditions indicate glandular inactivity, which is very often the forerunner of serious illness, but if you have been negligent about safe-guarding your health, and are down and out from the effects of a cold , the grip or tonsilitis, don’t give up in despair, until you have tried GLANDO. ’ Your sluggish glands will take on new life and activity.
