He was elected with the green and sweet smelling garlands of the Civic league hanging around his neck. He was ano'lnted by the prophets. The King can do no wrong. , Yes, Walter has all the circus riders and the loop the loop artist very much put to ehame. None ever turned a flip-flop with more surpassing grace than when in the course of a few hours he voted for the Tomlinson bill and the ward and township bill. It is probably also true that Waiter would Just as soon vote for county option again. It seems to make no difference what he votes for. The King can do bo wrong. Perhaps Mr. Ratllff has the assurance of his supporters now that the county has voted wet that county local option is not needed. There is however ho getting around the fact that he made certain declarations before his election. Very probably Walter has made so many declarations that he has a set for every emergency. But what would you think if you had gone on his bond and gotten -him out of quarantine as did the Civic league? There is only one thing for the Civic league to do now. That is to sponsor W. W. Zimmerman for" mayor. No doubt that will also come. In the meantime Our Walter having done all his contortions and gone through his repertoire is looking around for the applause and is ready to shower kisses on the audience. The King can do no barm? ' What about the Civic league? The garlands which they hung on our Walter's neck are wilted now. Watch the India Rubber Man. WHAT THE DAY 8HOULD MEAN. Lincoln's centenary is no ordinary day. Its ocurrence is one fraught with meaning. It Is a day of hope. It should mean to every child in the schools that they have greater opportunities than had the ' backwoods boy and that no excuse of better training on his part stands between them and splendid performance. ....... It shuld mean to the matrons of the land that they, too, are under a responstbiliity to bring : forth children who shall not only be a pleasure to their old age, but who must serve the nation and be steadfast at any crisis. They have no excuse to hide behind in the 6hape of bad home conditions or shiftless husbands. To the business men of the country it means that they have the ideal set before them a man who threw his own interests to the winds that he might serve his country. Our next crisis is to be one rather of a business conflict than a bloody war; a struggle In which ideals must either be discarded or retained; it is a call to the finer instincts and good citizenship which they must display to save the country. churches. Let them not condemn the man who stands without their gates. Let them recognize that all men are sinners and that they are human. And .. yet let them remember that somewhere among the poor there may be another Lincoln who must be saved from the maw of the great cities. The message of Lincoln is the story of the poor. 1 But above all is a great feeling of responsibility for the future. Those last words of the Gettysburg address should sink deep into the hearts of all Americans. . "That the nation shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish . from the earth." FORUMOFTHE PEOPLE '-.John the apostle who once was so Intimate with, his Lord as to have been permitted to recline on His bosom tells In one short sentence the secret of the love he had for his Master. He says: n "We love him because he first loved us." As much as Abraham Lincoln Is veaerated for his .integrity.' tor his honesty, as a man incapable of deceit "and . Insusceptible of corruption, yet on, and beyond. : thts Is , that love .that the American 'people hate" for 'JtfvlMKtKS .-:.! first of all loved

them. He seemed not at any time to have thought of himself as a ruler of his people. In the midst of strife and the days that his enemies were many he never lost sight of that golden day when once again would the nation be a community of brothers. Misguided men were the objects of his regard. He was a little circumscribed by creed end party, caste and color as any man who has ever graced the presidential office. From the dark days of the rebellion until now it has been the pride of humble hearts that once they were permitted to speak to Lincoln. It was Lincoln's way to make even the humblest feel at ease in his presence. It never occurred to- him to have himself hemmed In from that larger constituency that he so admirably serv

ed. He lived in the days when it was less difficult to find a place at the president's side, and tradition, if not exact history, credits him with the aphorism tbst "God must have loved the common people for He made so many of them." How unassuming, how artless, how humble was this great man! He had no assumptions save as he gave himself to his duties. In the midst of the artificial and gilded life into which his office introduced him he remain ed to the last unaffected, simplehearted and true. His life was so transparent as to be easily understood by every one except by that company that yielded to the persuasions of treasonable malignity. When Lincoln spoke to the people, the people believed him. It is no wonder that those who knew him best and loved him most called him by the title of "Honest Abe." The course that leads out into a consideration of the man's greatness in the remarkable achievements of his administration is most tempting, and yet this we must forego in that pleasure of thinking of his love for the people. It is hard to stifle the imprecations that rise in one's bosom as we think of the wanton cruelty of his destruction. It is futile to hope that Justice was done when tlie felon was finally captured, and the president's death avenged. It is no fair exchange to give the life of a McKinley for a Csolgosz, nor a Garfield for a Gulteau, nor a Lincoln for a Booth. We forbear uttering what our hearts are Instinctively prompted to speak in the presence of the forbearance he himself displayed at every part of the great conflict that raged in the days of his administration. Lincoln has left us three great literary compositions the Second Inaugural, the Gettysburg Speech and the Bixby letter. The first of these is of too great length to reproduce In these columns, the second is soon to be placed on a tablet and erected in our beautiful park at the eastern end of the city, while the ! third will in itself demonstrate the proposition which we have advanced; that Lincoln is beloved of the people because he first loved them. While the Magna Charts lives; the Declaration of Independence endures in the memory of man, and the Psalms find a place in the hearts of devout men and women, they will cherish the memory of him who even while the war was raging sent the following message: "Executive Mansion, Washington, Nov. 21, 1S64. Mrs. Bixby, Boston, Mass. Dear Madam:' I have been shown in the files of the war department a statement of the adjutant-general of Massachusetts that you are the moth er of five sons who have died glor iously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the conso lation that may be found in the thanks of the republic that they, died to save. I pray that onr Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, ABRAHAM LINCOLN." This is the man, the beloved of the people, whom we are seeking to honor today. One hundred years ago today be first saw the light in LaRue county Kentucky. For less than three score years , he lived his life true to the highest instincts of his great nature, aftd out of that mortal career he has stepped into immortality, there to be held In everlasting remembrance in the hearts of his country men. The world will never cease to need such a life as he lived. We need it now, to free us from the giant wrongs that press us down. A READER.

COUNTY OPTON LA W It will be a welcome relief to the public to have the matter finally disposed of either one way or the other, and without further delay. Lafayette Courier. If the democratic majority in the state legislature is wise they will keen their hands off that repeal bill, as there is a general desire to give the county option law a thorough trial. And It seems to be working admirably too. Greensburg Standard. In the. face of such overwhelming temperance sentiment in this state a senator or a representative must be a thoroughly calloused politician of the variety that does not care a continental what the public thinks if he votes for the repeal of the county option law. Greenfield Tribune. Those who are protesting most vigorously in the legislature now that the saloon question is a party question are the same who pretended to be in the greatest glee last summer when protesting that the saloon question was not then an issue in. the campaign because September preceded January on the calendar. Martinsville Reporter. If Representative Rati iff was awaiting the result of the special election in Wayne county on the option question before determining on which side of the question of the repeal he would sign himself, the opponents of local option have gained a recruit and it will not require a great number of recruits to bring about the repeal of the county local option measure. Columbus Republican. The democratic leaders in Indiana have joined with the tremers to secure a repeal of the county option law. It will be a pretty fight, but the law should hot fee repealed. "If it should be repealed it will be a great victory for the brewers, but only & temporary one. The next legislature would be republican and a new law would be passed in harmony with the aroused public sentiments in our state. Hamilton County News. ; 4 The option forces were ' certainly unwise to tempt fate in a county containing such a large city as Richmond, and yet the fact that Wayne went wet is not the slightest reason for repeal ing the county option law. The saloon men should be satisfied to leave well enough alone, knowing that there are still some places in Indiana where they can continue in business. Crawfordsville Journal. As to the disagreement that may arise between oajr. democratic friends and their old time allies as the result of this boainess of getting campaign funds under mlse pretenses, this is no republican funeral. , If the results in local option elections up to this time are an indication of what is to follow, the 1 distillery and brewery , influence in Indiana politics will be a negligible quantity before another campaign rolls around anyhow. Mario Chronicle. - Twelve counties have gone dry and one wet. Some are democratic counties and some republican. If the legislatore is to he guided by the vote of the coonUea why should mot twelve

Hamilton County Ledger. Bed Breath and Sour Stomach Stepped at Once With Pure Willow Charcoal, the Greatest Gas Absorber Known. There is no necessity to suffer the humiliation, chagrin and discomfort of bad breath, biliousness, sour stomach, gastritis, sluggish liver, etc.. when a little lozenze of charcoal wil cleanse the stomach and make it pure and sweet. Do not drug yourself when a simple little natural charcoal made from fragrant willow branches, sweetened with honey, will ad tone to your stomach, liver and intestines rapidly absorb gases and stop foul odors of all kinds. Charcoal will absorb one hundred times its own volume in gas. A box full of charcoal placed in a bed room will keep the air of such a room pure and sweet. A little charcoal lozenge dissolved on the tongue after meals will also keep the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal Is justly called the scrubbing brush for the stomach. The old monks of medieval times cured bad cases of stomach troubles, cast out devils from the system of man by feeding such a man charcoal. . Scientific men cf today believe In the great strength of charcoal for the cure of human ills. Too much of it cannot harm one. The system craves it just like an animal needs and craves salt every so often. Charcoal goes into the stomach gently and is welcome, it settles down through the action of the stomach, and filters through all the food, absorbing gas. aiding digestion and giving tone to the juices, so that when the food goes into the Intestines, and there meets other digestive fluids, the charcoal holds the impurities and thus keeps them from the blood. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made from pure willow. They are prepared fragrant by the use of honey and sweetened so they please the taste and are easily dissolved. . They have an enormous sale, thus stamping them with the approval of the public Every druggist sells them. 25 cents per box. Go to your druggist today and buy a box; then after your next meal. take two or three of them and judge for yourself of their merit. Several taken at bedtime will prove to you In the morning that they have been at work all night, for your had breath will not be so bad after all.
