Mr. Roosevelt will, and should be received with great demonstrations of appreciation upon landing in New York. His achievements at home, and the estimtaion in which he is held abroad, entitle him to the center of the stage at that time. He will be fresh from the most picturesque and widely advertised hunt of many years, and from attentions in Europe such as are seldom paid to a man in private life, and never before, except In Gen. Grant's case accorded an American citizen. Wherever he goes arfter emerging from the jungle and before sailing for America, he will bo an object of deep interest and the recipient of many evidences of admiration. Why should not all thin be crowned at home here with a recption of national scope and meaning? It is announced by a man in Mr. Roosevelt's confidence that the latter has no thought of running for president, or Benator, or governor, or representative in congress, or mayor of New York. He will not return for the purpose of plunging into a scramble for any office, but to take his place as a citizen in the ranks and manifest all the interest in public affairs belonging to that station. Even this, we may be told, means politics, and assures an activity on Mr. Roosevelt's part, by advice and otherwise, in what goes on. Certainly. We may all be sure that soon after landing he will want to know all the news about what has been done in his absence, and what the present situation is. He will be as much of a politician as when he left, and may be a little eager in the game because of his protracted holiday. Not since he received his discharge from school and made his bow in politics has he been for so long a term out of Jie game. More than a year will have elapsed since he ceased to be an office holder and became a "rifleman hid jn the thicket." Of what nature that activity will be and what the effect will be, time alone can tell. A state race in New York will be taking shape, and Mr. Roosevelt is a citizen of New York. A contest for control of the next house will be taking shape and Mr. Roosevelt is a republican. It seems to be a safe guess therefore, that he will declare for his party in both cases, and lend his name for all it is worth to his party and all that it represents. As for 1012, that bridge need not be crossed until it is reached. But the men who are now calculating on using Mr. Roosevelt as an instrument for discrediting Mr. Taft are going on the theory that he is feverish with ambition and capable in his mood of betraying a friend, or committing any other unworthy act. They made the same calculation in 100S, and missed the mark. Washington Star. SENATOR BEVER1DGE WINS. Senator Albert J. Beveridge won a sweeping victory at the Republican primaries in Indiana. The new state central committee will be composed of his friends, and it is noteworthy that in no district In the state was any real fight made upon him. Evidently Indiana Republicans like the battle Senator Beveridge waged during the passage of the tariff law; evidently they ap prove of his progressive tendencies; evidently, too, they admire the senator for his personal Independence and courage as well as his political ideas. Fcr so unanimous a vote of approval is more than a mere formal compliment in a state like Indiana, where every man, woman and child has political convictions. Senator Beveridge has a united party behind him. With its support he ought to be able to prevent Senator Shivcly from acquiring a

THE WEST

Yesterday the Chicago Tribune publlsned the result or a pou oi iuc Republican and Independent newspapers of the West. These were the questions: "Is the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, your choice for speaker of the next congress?" "Do you indorse the Aldrich-Cannon tariff law or the Aldrich-Cannon organization of the senate and the house?" The answer was emphatically "No." In the Lake district, (the birth-place of the Republican party) comprised of Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, there were 183 Republican newspapers for Cannon, as opposed to 1,007 newspapers against him. There were 282 Republican newspapers for the Payne-Ald-rich tariff and 998 against it. In the whole West 546 Republican papers were for Cannon 2,653 are against him.

Cannon's own state has repudiated him and his tariff. The only state in the West that has favored the Cannon-Aldrich measure 13 the State of Missouri, because of the infamous schedules on zinc and lead.

This does not mean that the people of the West are disloyal to the Republican party nor to its principles. The Republicans will not tolerate such an assumption any more than they will tolerate the dictates of Cannon and the reactionaries in congress who do his bidding for patronage and more infamous reasons. The spirit of the West is independence. The great sweep of the prairies, free and unconfined; the vast confidence that comes from working with the forces of nature all these have contributed to the revolt against the perversion of the ideals of the American nation, a protest against the establishment of an oligarchy with Cannon at its head. Cannonism is not Republicanism. Cannon owes his seat as Speaker to Tammany not to the Republicans of the West. The schedules which the people of the West object to were framed by Cannonism and placed there by the votes of Southern Democrats. And this in spite of the protests of the senators and the representatives of the West who have refused to allow themselves to desert the voters whom they really represent. The tariff is a question of Republicanism only so far as the wishes of the people and the promises made in the platform of the Republican party have been carried out. The men who voted against the tariff are the very ones who are responsible for those pledges which were kept in the Aldrich-Cannon tariff. Cannon and Aldrich and the interests that they represent saw to it that many of the schedules that thse men had successfully obtained in open fight in the halls of congress were killed in the secret meetings of the conference committee. The Payne-Aldrich tariff as it stands is not to be considered the product of the Republican party. It is the product of Cannonism.

That a Republican executive was able to obtain as nearly a satisfactory measure as he did (though not a complete compliance of promises made, as he apologized) was due to the men who fought Cannonism.

And so it is that the West is not to be tied down by those lobbyists and creatures of Cannon who come out "to defend" the Cannon-Aldrich tariff. As Governor Folk the foe of special privilege and graft has recently said: "If the issue between public rights and special privilege could be presented squarely there would be no doubt as to the outcome anywhere, for the majority of the people will do right when they know right. The representatives of privilege are too shrewd, however, to permit a plain issue between public rights and special privilege to go before the people; and they generally adroitly manage to confuse the main issues with other questions so as to bewilder and confuse men of even the best intentions."

But the West has refused to be Democratic colleague. And we would like to wager that he will. Chicago Evening Post. WHEN LINCOLN DIED By JAMES A. EDGERTON. Copyright, 1910, by American Press Association. When Lincoln died a universal grief Went round the earth. Men loved him in that hour. The north her leader lost, the south her friend; The nation lost its savior, and the slave Lost his deliverer, the most of all. Oh, there was sorrow mid the humble poor When Lincoln died! When Lincoln died a gTeat soul passed from earth, A great white soul, as tender as a child And yet as iron willed as Hercules. In him were strength and gentleness so mixed That each upheld the other. He possessed The patient firmness of a loving heart. In power he out-klnged emperors, and yet His mercy was as boundless as his power. And he was jovial, laughter loving; still His heart was ever torn with suffering. There was divine compassion in the man, A godlike love and pity for his race. The world saw the full measure of that love When Lincoln died. When Lincoln died a type was lost to men. The earth has had her conquerors and kings And many of the common great. Through all She only had one Lincoln. There la none Like him in all the annals of the past. He was a growth of our new soil, a child Of our new time, a symbol of the race That freedom breeds; was of the lowest rank. And yet he scaled with ease the highest height. Mankind one of its few immortals lost When Lincoln died. When Lincoln died it seemed a providence. For he appeared aa one sent for a work Whom, when that work was done, God summoned home. He led a splendid fight for liberty. And when the shackles fell the land was saved ; He laid his armor by and sought his rest. A glory sent from heaven covered him When Lincoln died. She Hurried Home. When South Carolina declared for secession Mrs. Lincoln was visiting in the south, where she bad gone to attend the wedding of an intimate friend.

HIS FAVORITE POEM According to those who knew hw most intimately, Mr. Lincoln was never again the same man after the death of Ann Rutledge, the "best beloved" of his early manhood. Ue had always been subject to attacks of mental depression, but after her death they became more frequent and alarming. It was about that time that he came across some verses in the "Poets' Corner" of a rural newspaper which made a strong Impression on him. This was the poem beginning "Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?" None who ever beard him repeat these wonderfully plaintive yet curiously empty lines in after life realized that they served to keep in his memory a grief which remained with perpetual insistence In his heart, to which be could not with becoming delicacy allude directly, but there is little doubt that Lincoln never recovered wholly from the loss of his youthful fiancee. For many months after the passing of this beautiful young woman Lincoln was utterly disconsolate and made no secret of the fact. It was then that these ultra somber lines seemed to furnish him with a vehicle by means of which be might give expression to some of the sadness of soul which overshadowed him. In the words of one who knew him at the time: "He was heard to murmur them to himself as he slipped into the village at nightfall after an evening visit to the cemetery, and he would suddenly break out with them in little social assemblies after periods of silent gloom. They seemed to come unbidden to his Hps." That poem is now Lincoln's very own. The name of the obscure poet is lost to posterity, but his unpretentious work Is associated imperishably with the memory of one of the world's greatest men and interwoven with the history of his supreme sorrow. It seems inconceivable that two men can be kept steadily employed the year round making checkers. Yet that is what is done in a mill at Bethel. The average output of checkers from this mill is eight hundred barrels. It has been as high as one thousand and down to six hundred, but eight hundred is the average. This does not sound very large, but when the figures are worked out it is found to be a lot. In every barrel shipped there are thirty thousand checkers of the ordinary size, while in eight hun dred barrels there are 28.SOO.OOO, or 1,200,000 sets of twenty-four checkers each. That is to say, with the output of this Maine mill, 2,400,00 persons could be playing checkers at the same time. Kennebec (Me.) Journal.

And its rosy, golden glow, I can speak it now, in truth, I looked on him as a foe; For he checked me when he could And he foiled my dearest plan, And I never understood For I grew to hate the man. Others flattered when they came. Others loudly spoke my praise: But he saw my plan was lame. And he tried by many ways To convince me I was wrong I was blind and couldn't see, Still believing all along That he really hated me. But the years have passed since then And today I understand: Oh, were he to come again I should like to clasp his hand, All the flatterers have gone. And now I am near the end, Of them all he was the one Who was honestly my friend. A JOINT INSTITUTE. The teachers in the public schools of Webster.

I GREAT LOVE STOR TFS

of HISTORY By Albert Pay son Terhunm ABRAHAM LINCOLN and MARY TODD tH'IM. bj torn iultor.) A lanky young giant, homely, poor and ill-clad, fell in love with a little, red-haired village beauty. Anne Rutledge. She lived in a frontier town in what is now the middle west and was daughter of the local tavern keeper. Though only 17, she was er.gagd to a New Yorker who had spent a few weeks at the tavern. Then young Abraham Lincoln came to town and proceeded to lose his heart to her. He was ugly, uncouth and gaunt in appearance and had to work hard for a bare living. The gentleness and brilliancy that were masked behind his homely exterior were not of the sort to appeal at once to Miss Rutledge. But this did not prevent Lincoln from courting her. It was the first and greatest love of all his life. At length persistent wooing had its effect. The New Yorker had stopped writing to Anne. She realized he had deserted her. In her unhappiness she turned to Lincoln for comfort. As tenderly as a woman the young giant soothed her sorrow and sought to console her for her lost lover. In time she consented to be his wife. But mourning for the faithless New Yorker had undermined her health. While arrangements for the wedding were going on 6he sickened and died. Her death was the bitterest sorrow Lincoln ever knew. His friends feared he was going insane. His character took on a melancholy that marked his ... , . face and manner His First , v , as long as he Love Story. ved After hpr funeral he burst Into tears, sobbing: "I can never be reconciled to have the snow and rain beat upon her grave!" Many years later he told a friend in confidence: "My heart lies in that girl's grave:" So entirely did grief master him that when, long afterward, he became engaged to a Kentucky girl, Mary Owen, he is said to have asked her to release him from the match because he could not love her her as he should, his mind still clinging to the memory of Anne Rutledge. It was in 1840 that another Kentucky girl, Mary Todd, came to Springfield, 111., where Lincoln was practicing law. He became engaged to her, though from the first he showed perhaps less loverlike ardor than the occasion called for. The wedding day arrived and the guests assembled. But Lincoln did not appear. There was an awkward pause. Then the wedding party, wondering, broke up. The bridegroom's nerve had apparently failed him at the last moment. He and Miss Todd were reconciled by friends and in 1S42 the engagement was patched up. One Incident that may or may not have had something to do with bringing them together again was the fact that Miss Todd wrote anonymously a set of satiric verses which offended James Shields, a political enemy of Lincoln's. Shields demanded to know the author's name. Lincoln chivalrously came forward and took upon himself the responsibility for the entire affair. Shields challenged him to a duel. Lincoln accepted the challenge and chose cavalry sabers as the weapons. Wise men in the community reconciled the opponents and no duel was fought. Two months later Lincoln and Mary Todd were married. One biographer says that Lincoln went through his share in the wedding ceremony "as pale and trembling as if being driven to slaughter." The young couple started married life on the upper floor of an inn, where board and lodging cost them $4 a week. Even at that, they were often hard pressed for ready money, practicing every economy. There can be little doubt that Mrs. Lincoln had a lively, peppery temper and that her husband suffered from its effects. It is said that their one servant, in early days, could not endure the wife's sharp tongue and was only induced to remain in the house because Lincoln secretly paid her double wages. A man who had . been scolded so A Stormy violently bjr Mr8. Home L.fe. Lincoln that he rushed to her husband for satisfaction was sadly asked by Lincoln: "Can't you endure for a few moments what I have had as my portion for 13 years?" The latent brain trouble which later partially wrecked Mrs. Lincoln's mind was possibly the real cause of her fits of rage. They had one good effect: Lincoln's Interest was turned to public matters and he threw himself more fully into politics than he might have done had he had a calmer home life. Yet whenever he was away from home he kept his wife closely informed of every step he took. This fact not only tends to show his devotion to her. but also the keen interest she felt in his progress. When he received news of his election to the presidency his first words were: "There is a little woman at our house who is probably more interested in this dispatch than I am. I ll take it up and let her see it." Lincoln was seated at his wife's side in Ford's theater, Washington, in 1S63. when Wilkes Booth assasinated him. The shock and grief combined to bring on a malady frcm which the unhappy woman never wholly recovered. Oxygen has been found on Mart. But are there any beefsteaks there?
