So much, agitation has been; aroused In Wayne county over the temperance question' and so much has been said about Lincoln that the view of Collier's Weekly on the situation, ia particularly pertinent as a relief from the rabid utterance of both sides. It is in our opinion Just as vitally important to em phasize the temperance of viewpoint as to be cocksure about the proposition of liquor selling. , If these extracts from Lincoln reveal anything, it .is that the mature mind does not hastily give vent to the emotions without subjecting them to the test of reason. If more of this sort of thing were In the mind jf the people it would be a more comfortable world to live in. 1 "In early youth, Lincoln, ia boyish speeches, flayed the scourge of drink. Later, when he was thirty-three, this is what he said: "The world would be vastly benefited by a total and final banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks." He did not lose his reason merely because his convictions were intense: "Too much denunciation against dram-sellers 5 and dram-drinkers was indulged in. It is not much in the nature of man to be driven to anything." Observe, Lincoln was pleading for "entreaty and persuasion'' toward temperance as against "the thundering tones of anathema and denunciation." The same' belief in the vast harm of drink, tempered, however, by the pow er to see all sides of man's complex nature, existed at the height of his development. Thus we find him in 1863: "Intemperance is one of the greatest, If not the very greatest, of all evils among mankind." He added: "The mode of cure is one about which there may be differences of opinion." . . Why is forgery deemed necessary to the prohibition cause? The brewers circulate a statement against prohibition falsely attributed to Lincoln. Along come ? the prohibitionists with another, recommending prohibition, also forged. Both, desire his assistance; neither can find anything of his extreme enough to suit. If he lived today he wouldi favor no license where public sentiment was strong enough to make that policy succeed, and he would certainly oppose anything resembling national prohibition The other day we were approached by a 5 man brim full of ardor. "Lincoln," said he "was a hypocrite. He was a temporizer and coward. ? In '5T he had a vast army at his command. Why did he not use it to put down drink?" That man does more harm to the temperance cause than1 any other being in the town where he resides. In a book by D. C. Baker, published last year, Is this statement: "Mr. Lincoln is quoted as saying: lf the prohibition of slavery is good for the black man, the prohibition of the liquor traffic' is equally good and constitutional for the white man' Yes, he Is "quoted" as saying it, but he never did say it. The prohibitionists attribute this speech to April 13, 1SS5, he last day of Lincoln's life," so it ought to be possible for them to name the letter or document, or speech in which the words occurred. Actually, they were invented, just as that stupid preposition about fooling the people was invented "also." taft on Mckinley. It is .interesting to see what Taft may say of McKinley. They both have many characteristics In common. Many of the problems which come up will be similar in Taft's administration to those which occupied McKinley'B thoughts. The tariff question was near to the heart of . :. the late president and almost his last utterance was on the subject of reciprocity a thing which if Senator JQeverIdge is to be believed will be in some measure an' assured fact inside of Four months. . . Taft's comparison of McKinley with ixapuieuu ia, iu a way, wwuicuiai; on the difference between the type of the .' tactful man and the .diplomat, which marks the boundaries between the forceful Roosevelt and the quiet Taft. He says: "Napoleon was a man most per

emptory excitable In bis methods and singularly strong of will; McKinley was a man strong of will, but absolutely without the mandatory, peremptory character that we associate with Napoleon. McKinley :J accomplished his purpose over, men' and over things, but largely through their voluntary acquiescence to his will. He, was like one of those New York ferry slips in his methods of securing his purposes. The man whose will ne met would 'come up against a side of the McKinley character and seem to

sweep away the resistance presented to the motion, and then would grad ually feel a kind of it did not seem resistance at first, it was so soft and finally the "man would be , seen to gradually change his direction, go to the other, side, strike another point of resistance, and then, gradually, ap parently by the volition of the man himself, would sail into the haven McKinley had directed. In his action on the problems that are now on the horizon, it is a safe prediction that though Taft's admin istration will be a clinching ' of the Rooseveltian policies the method will be more in line with the McKinley method of quiescent force than the hammering method of his predecessor. If only by the law of contrast it is possible that it may be as much a source of' strength even were it not true that conditions have changed and will continue to change. So much criticism of Mr. Roosevelt's methods has been made that it will be espec ially worth while to see what Taft's methods will accomplish. That may be the means of getting a line on it. MARSHALL AND THE SUN PAY BASE BALL BILL. Marshall did not veto the Sunday base ball bill and neither did he sign it. As nearly as possible, then, or at least as far as was in his power, he tried to eliminate the province of the governorship from the whole matter. A storm of protest has gone up from the ministers all over the state,' whose main object in life seems to be to fasten the blame on him. Although we have expressed our opinion on the subject of base ball as favoring it and are well enough satisfied that the bill went through in its present manner, it is well enough to consider the governor's act from another point of View, , . Is it possible in the first place for the governor to side step the signing of bills? It would seem not, since the sources of unfavorable to base ball on Sunday, have endeavored to fix the blame on the chief executive. Would it nohave looked just as well if the governor had affixed his signature? To all intents and purposes he simply let the bill go through without action but not without responsibility. It is true that the expressed views of the governor before election in regard to the veto and his attitude toward legislation and the legislature were a source of criticism. It was charged that the plan of Marshall was j to evade responsibility. It was said that to have a governor who sought' to evade the issue was not as it should be. One of the chief functions of the governor is undoubtedly to act as a check on legislation, just as that is the duty of the president toward legislation in congress. The present instance is not serious. But it may happen that something involving the interests of the whole people will arise. Then how will Marshall act will he still use his side-stepping methods? It Is much better that the governor should act in such a manner that he cannot be accused of evasion. He will at least have the backing of the side that is favorable to his action. This way he is simply, between the devil and the briny deep. However he tries, Marshall cannot escape the fact that his action will either be for or against, whether he signs or Moes not sign the bills which come up for his signature or veto.

Have not Friends a right to obey their conscience and remove Professor Trueblood, as he obeyed his in voting for licensed saloons? Most - people with but little knowledge, are aware of ; the persecution of ; Friends for righeousness sake, presidents, etc, for virtue, that Dudley Foulke and Rev. Lyons referred to. What connection could this have with the removal of Professor Trueblood ? If men are called persecuted who lose their positions we should offer our sympathy to the persecuted of our city" And now let him that Is without sin among you, cast the first stone.'' 1 This and charity might suggest that Earl ham board employ the persecuted ex-satoon keepers of our sister counties. ; If the removal of . Professor Trueblood would be persecution, such an unreasonable, inconsistent act, why j should Dudley Foulke and Rev. Lyons fear men like the Earlhara board would be guilty of such a consideration, i If Dudley Foulke forgets it is not customary to sign one's name to pieces printed under Forum of. the People.' he should excuse a man for forgetting to sign his name The man with more than virgin modesty does not stand alone in his accusation of anonymity. Boycotting is among the county ma-

Jority. The minority or dry being in Richmond. If merchants vote wet to increase their business Is it the spirit of night riders to try to remove the cause, tor conscience cake? When a minister ln bis Sunday sermon defends voters for saloons,' poisons the minds of our dear young people by flowery language, and absurd comparisons, men of high education and responsible positions do like wise. By whom shall the workers of Iniquity hope to be helped? Do they forget saloons are an invitation to hell? Walk In. you can soon get there. The important question is to close them, not to please men's whims how. .See before you the- judgment day pitiable drunkards, stand broken hearted, parents, sisters brothers, wives and children suffering unto death, lost souls. This i is the persecution, to consider. The fagot to undo pity and love the fallen past redemption Strive to remove the cause of such sorrow. One, who desires only the good of all.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near 6ticking to a Habit. From the New York Evening Post. -The temper of administrations may change and popular habits of thought and phraseology may change with it, but the writer of newspaper beadlines, who. supposedly, should be the most variable of creatures, finds it hard to cast off the , habit of long years. He still writes. "Wants Canal Rushed" or "Taft In the Midst of a Congress Fight-" His first impulse, when a Washington dispatch comes in, is to reach for a head expressive of a rush, or a smash, or a clinch, or a general shindy. Time, of course, will tell, but. time It does take to get once more into the hahjt of writing "Speaks" after seven years almost exclusive training in "Calls," "Rakes," "Grills," "Brands" and "Lashes." American adaptability can surely be counted on, but it will be some months before American newspaper adaptability has completely given up writing "fight for "message," "enemy" for "opponent," "sinister" for "opposed," "criminal" for "opposition," "club" for "argument" and "lie" for "difference." Congress and Wireless. From the Philadelphia - Inquirer. Wednesday two steamships clashed and one of them went down. The news of the collision was sent by wireless. Thursday a schooner was discovered to be in distress off Little Egg harbor. The wireless station at Atlantic City informed an Old Dominion liner and communication was established with the schooner. And yet the Senate has hesitated to pass the house bill requiring all pas senger vessels to carry a - wireless plant. Safety at'sea is of the highest importance. There will be ample op portunity at the extra session for congress to return to this subject. Keep Flagmakers Busy. From the Dayton News. If all the cities that are expecting to take a base ball pennant this season should be successful, what a boom it would give to the bunting factories. Without Foundation From the Memphis Commercial-Ap peal. The report that Mr. Taft will wake up the white house every morn ing by firing off his revolver has not been confirmed. An Oversight. , From the Duluth Herald. Two newspapers in this country,, have neglected to print .any glowing eulogy of the Roosevelt administration the Indianapolis News and the New York World. ..V--'-Qoes Crazy on March 4. From the Los Angeles Times. Washington is a fine city in very many ways, but it has a silly climate. TWINKLES Approval. "What do you think of my musical program?" asks the hostess. "Well," answered Mr. Cumrox, looking over the tops of his glasses. "I must say it sounds better than it reads." Grievous Offense. ; "No, sir," said Plodding Pete; "I would not stop another minute to talk to dem folks. Dey passed me out a short an' ugly word." . "What was it?" "Work." A Golden Ruler. "The golden rule for mine," he cried; "By It my dealings are controlled; The rule I've carefully applied That's likeliest to bring me gold." The City of a Thousand Tongues. "Why do yon devote so much time to the study of languages? Are you going to study abroad?" "No. I want to be equipped to carry on an intelligent conversation with any one I may happen to meet in New York." - .eating the Blame. "You sometimes make mistakes in forecasting the weather." , "Not I " replied the expert. "My methods are strictly scientific. I can't help it if the climate insists on being a nature faker."

Five Yeairc of Heart Trouble Cured by Dr. Miles Heart Remedy "Before I began .taking Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy I had been suffering from heart trouble for over five years. I had pains in my left side, and under my shoulder btade, could not sleep on the left side, and was so short of breath ... the least exertion would bring on the most distressing palpitation. I had scarcely taken a half bottle of the Heart Remedy before I could see a marked change in my conditions When I had taken six bottles I was cured." MRS. C. C. GORKEY, ; Northfield, VaV If there is fluttering or palpitation it is an indication of a weakness of the nerves and muscles of the heart. ' It is not necessarily diseased just weak from over-work. The heart may be weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. You can make a weak heart strong by taking Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy. Get a bottle from your druggist, take it according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.

ELMER A. GGRMOH A DIME HOVEL THRILLER STUNT Former Richmond Young Man, Now in the United States Secret Service, Makes Important Arrest. COUNTERFEITERS ARE TAKEN SINGLE HANDED Criminals Had Been; Flooding The State of Michigan With Spurious Money Making Great Record. . Uninterrupted success is befalling Elmer A. Gormon, formerly of this city, a member of the secret service, who is engaged exclusively in detecting counterfeiters. Gormon is the son.' of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Gormon of Fort Wayne avenue. For several months he has been operating in the vicinity of Detroit. He has crossed the lake to work at Cleveland and Pittsburg at both- of which cities he uncovered and arrested notorious spurious coin makers. He has broken; up a gang of six or seven men and several women, who operated- in the small cities near Detroit. Like Dime Thriller. A 'Detroit paper says of Ma latest capture: Like a chapter torn from a dime thriller, is the story of the- capture by United States Secret Service Inspector Elmer A. Gormon; of three men in a house in the outskirts of Marshall, Mich., last Saturday night During September, 1906, Gormon received complaints from bankers of the little Michigan town that counterfeit coins were in circulation and were finding their way into banks of that place. As soon as the complaints were received, Gormon began an investigation, with the result that it wa not long before he began to suspect one of the men arrested last week. Gormon went to Marshall last year, but due to the size of the town did not deem it wisa to remain there, lest the men he was after would discover his presence. He returned to Detroit, but not for a moment did he. neglect his task. Quietly he worked (in what way it will not be known until the men are brought to trial) until "he decided j to return to Marshall the first part of last week. - . - Gorman FoMowed. He knew one of the men he wanted by sight, and two days after .his arrival there, saw the : man go in a saloon. Gormon followed. There the two fell into conversation.

uor would be poured into a cuspidor. The result was that in a short time there were two men ia the saloon who acted very much as if they were under tti InfhiftTiAA nt llminr Oim mras a clever actor. During the apparently social visit of the two men, Gormon learned from the man the names of the other members of the gang. They parted toon after, the man going toward the house in the outskirts of the town. Gormon going in the opposite direction. But Gormon only went a block in the opposite direction. Once around the corner he circled" the block and" a few minutes later was following his man. When the officer reached the thinly populated district he made for the Michigan Central railroad tracks and dodged behind some box cars on a siding. From between two cars he saw his man enter the house he, wanted to locate. Gormon Followed. A few minutes later two men left the house again and walked toward the downtown district. Gormon ran to a nearby telephone, called the sheriffs office and requested that two deputies be sent to his assistance. Then slnglehanded he made his way to the house. It was dusk then, and he succeeded in reaching the yard in the rear of the house without being discovered. Then he broke in the back door. A man in the kitchen was looking down the blue barrel of a 38 colt before he knew it. "Anyone ehw in the house?" demanded the officer. "No, sir," replied Peter Hanson, his hands high above hie head. A few moments later the sheriff and a couple of deputies arrived1 and Hanson was turned over to them, wtoile Gormon made a search' of the house. He found certain articles In the place, which he declares Is a fairly apod counterfeiting outfit. William Kulp and William Shaw, the two men who had left the house, were arrested in the down town district a short time after Gormon: got Hanson. They are locked up at Battle Creek at present! Gormon say Kulp has a prison record In connection; with, counterfeit charges. Hanson was taken before Gormen Political Announcements FOR MAYOR. HENRY W.
