Borne liquor papers and some sup porters of the saloons aro making a !t desperate effort to have It appear that Abraham Lincoln was In favor of liquor selling and liquor drlnkln?, and that he' both sold and drank li quor. Tne Champion of lair Play i.f Chicago, a national organ of the liquor dealers, In Its Issue follow!;? Llncolr.'i birthday, had an editorial In which It declared that Lincoln "was not only liquor denier but a bartender as well," and that he was also "a cun rusher.? The same paper later print ed the following as tho words of Lin coln: "Prohibition will work great in - Jury to the cause of temperance. It Is a species of Intemperance within Itself, fur It goes beyond fhe bounds of reason In that It attempts to con trol a man's appetite by legislation, and In making crimes out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very princi ples on which our government was founded. I have always been found laboring to protect the weaker classes from the stronger, and 1 never can give my consent to such a law ns you propose to enact. I'ntll my tongue shnll be silenced In death I will con tinue to fislit for the Hunts of men." The Xutlonnl MoiU-1 License league, liquor organisation. Is sending the same story over the country. No stich utterance us the foregoing can be found Among the writings or speeches of Abraham Lincoln. He never s.iUl It. It Is it fake or n for gery and Is entirely contrary to all of his utterances and the practice of His life. That Mr. Lincoln, If living, would in all probability bo n prohibi tionist, Is shown In his speech delivered by him n,t Clinton, 111.. March 2, JS. In defense of 15 women who.hftd been arrested for smashing" a wine parlor. Although public sympathy was with the women, none' of the lo. cal lawyers woi,i tRke up th(Mr fens on account of the Influence of balers. Lincoln f v - ' V H learning the situation,, volunteered to defend them. In the course of his speech he Is "reported to have said: May It please the court, I will say a few words In behalf of the women who are arraigned before your honor and the Jury. I would suggest, first, that there be a change In the indict ment, so as to have It read, "The State against Mr. Whisky," instead at "The State against the Women." It would be far more appropriate. Touching this question there are t'iree laws: First, the Irw of stll-protectlon; sec- ind, the law pf the statute; third, the law of God. . The lav.- of self-protection Is the law of necessity, as shown when our fathers threw the tea Into Boston harbor, and In asserting their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This la the defense, of these women. The man who has per sisted In selling whisky has had no regard for their well-being or the wel fare of their husbands and sons.- H has had no 'fear of God nor regard for man; neither has lie had any regard for the laws of the statute. No Jury can fix any damages or punishment for jny violation of the moral law. The course pursued by this liquor dealer has been for the demoralization of society. His grogery has been a nuisance. These women, finding all moral suasion of no avail with this fellow, oblivious to all tender appeal, alike egardloss of their prayers and tears, In order to prot?ct their house holds and promote the welfare of the community, united to suppress the nuisance. The good of society de manded Its suppression. They accom pllshed what otherwise could not have been done." Christian Advocate, Chi cago. Issue of March 25, 1908. Tomorrow evening the city council holds Its regular April meeting. This being April Fools' day it more than likely that It will hand out several packages. It being understood that the council will elect the heads of the vat Ions departments, such as the street superintendent, water superin tendent, night marshal, city attorney, pump man and poundmaster. In some Instances there are a number of candidates. According to Dr. Brougher young Chester Gillette, who killed the girl he made believe he loved, simply paid the fiddler, when he took his seat yes terday In the electric chair. . one month more of tho special nomeseckers' rates have passed.

When Harry Orchard, self-confessed assassin of 21 men, was sentenced to be hanged on May 13, by Judge Fremont Wood, the latter recommended that the pun ishment be modified to Imprisonment. This recommendation that the whole sale murderer be extended clemency was based on the belief of Judge Wood that Orchard had told the truth In the trials of Haywood and Petti bone, officers of the Western Federa tion of Miners, acquitted of complicity In the murder of ex-Governor Steun enberg. Tomorrow the board . of pur dons will meet to consider the Or chard case, and It Is entirely likely that the recommendation of Judge Wood will be acted upon favorably. This latest phase of the famous case which has made Idaho a center of In ternational Interest during the Inst year has provoked a great deal of comment. During the progress of the Haywood trial and since that Urn abor men hove openly declared thai irchard. blood-guilty though he hat nnfessed himself to be, would nevei be made to pay the penalty for his rimes by the Idaho authorities. F01 nonths the western labor leaders. In their pupers and on the platform, have asserted that the plan was to nave orchard plead guilty, be sentenc ed to death, secure a commutation of sentence from the pardon board, and ater, when the, affair "blew over," be eleased or allowed to escaped from :he penitentiary and sent rejoicing on its way. All but the latter part of .his prophecy has now been fulfilled. It Is declared that Orchard has been Locate With Us Take the time to examine into the resources of the Grande Ronde Valley, and you will see that it is to your interest to locate here.

HAISTEN treated with marked favoritism by the prison authorities, has been supplied with all the luxuries he desired ana has avoided the lubor and discipline Imposed upon other prisoners. "Gov ernor Gooding's pet," he Is alleged to be called by his fellow Inmates of the state prison. These charges are de nied In their entirety by the state of ficials, from the governor down, who declare that Orchard has never been promised immunity and that It will never be given him. If Orchard has told the truth about himself, this man who Is considered a fit subject for the clemency of the Idaho pardon board committed or had guilty knowledge of the following crimes, In addition to the Steunenberg murder: The blowing up of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill in Idaho in 1899; the murder of Martin Gleason, mana ger of the Wild Horse mine of Crip ple Creek, Col., In 1901; the murder In 1901 of J. W. Barney, non-union shift boss in the Smuggler-Union mine at Tellurlde, Col.; the killing, the next year, of Wesley J. Smith, another non union shift boss in the same mine, as well as the murder of Arthur L. Col lins, manager; the murder of Supt. McCormlck and Foreman Beck of the Vindicator mine of Victor, In 1903; In 1904, the blowing up of the rail road depot at Independence by which 14 men Were- killed; In 1905, the wrecking of the power house of the Colorado Springs Electric company; the hiring of a man to poison to death his former associate, Neville, at Gold field, because Neville suspected that Phone Red mi. 1411, 1413, 1415 Adams Ave 44444444444444444444444444 x SALE CLOSES Tu n 1... l i , ,. 1 no Jaiiiu upt oaie d.1 in I Heacock Jewelry store I will close If.

Orchard also confessed that he laid a bomb in the path of Chief Justice Gabbart of Colo red by which an innocent man was killed, that he burled a bomb at the gate to the residence of Judge God dard of Denver, who escaped death by chance, and that he plotted the death of Gov. Peabody of Colorado, who .gv. eral times was within a few Inche death. Gen. Sherman Bell, he said, also was the subject . of several at tempts.
