I and Woodburn granges, these)
places all being La Marion coun-
ty. have unanimously adopted
resolutions declaring their opposi
tion to a ship subsidy, to tbe "ex
ceeding high tariff" on ship mater
ials, and other commodities, and to
an Increase of postage on periodicals.
These granges "call upon our con
gressmen to see to it that this ship
subsidy scheme does not become a
legalized wrong, and .to use every
honorable means to have Ihe Iniquity
of tbe tariff tax and ship registry
laws amended out of the laws." They
also suggest that instead of increas
ing postage rates on periodicals, ex
cessive payments for carrying mails
bo cut down.
These men are citizens of,' the
most populous county in Represen
tative Hawl'ey's- district, and his
home county. Most of them are or
have been Republicans, and toted
for him. They are intelligent, read
ing, reflecting men, who understand
pretty well what they are talking
about. Will -Mr. Hawley bear and
hred what they have to say? .It la
f-flfe to assert that not one out of
50 of these men is in favor of Can
nonlsm, of such a speaker as Can
non, of the Payne-Aldrich tariff, or
of the policies in general of these
loaders In congress. Yet Mr. Haw
ley votes for and with Cannon every
time; he la on record aa favoring the
"Iniquities" of the ."exceeding high
tariff," as a whole and in detail,
and he presumably will support the
ship subsidy bill. "Under these cir
cumstances, can he reasonably ex
pect these men- to vole for hla re-
, nomination, if some progressive can
didate should oppose him in the pri
maries, ob jto vote for his reelection

T HAS BEEN said that if. during
, the civil war, another than Lin
coin had been president, the con
atltutlon might have been saved
and the union lost, No statesman
evef faced so vast a vicissitude. Self
government in its latest and gre
est experiment was on trial. W great
Issue that had been compromised In
the Initial convention, that had been
compromised at intervals' for 75
years and on which tension had been
accumulating from the1 beginning,
was at its crisis, with the country
split In twain over the question of
what was to.be its eolation. Tbe
appeal to reason had passed the pos
sibilities, and jm appeal to arms had
come. The vital' factor of material
interests was the cohering issue on
one aide and tbe abstract thesis of a
moral question' on the other. The
south was under arms, and its .an
nounced purpose was secession.
Whether under-the-constitution he
had the authority to levy troops and
by force of arms' prevent disunion.
and how far there was warrant for
hira to go in that extraordinary pro
cedure was the. terrible alternative
with which the executive was con
fronted. It was a decision upon
which hung the tremendous issue of
union or disunion, upon which de
pended the momentous, question of
whether or not the states were to
remain "one and Inseparable, now
and forever." How this problem
agonized the souls of those charged
with administering the affairs of the
country is a story the full depth of J
which human language will never be
able to tell or human expresHlon be
able to fully portray.
; Brave and gentle, courageous and
kind, Lincoln rose to the heights of
statesmanship. The hour made the
man. The rails split on the frontier,
the lowly boyhopd in the far-flung
forests, the nights of study by, the
flickering candle light, the laborious
climb from the lower level to tbe
highest, the stern actualities of a
slow transition from the log cabin to
the White House these in their
educative processes,' had exalted, him
for the patient but potential resolu
tion with which he met the over
whelming vicissitudes of the time.
In the full of magnificent manhood,
he rose until he towered far above
the congresses, the armies, the, fac
tions and the forces around him, and
stood majestic, masterful and com
manding. In the name and, for the
sake of an undivided people he
struck and scourged, but always with
the forbearance and gentleness of a
father. '

winter weather still prevails and
may b expected to cnntlnnn for
some time, the shops anticipate
the. coming of th warm faon

be found, particularly In tbe better
grade of evening frocks and coats.
Now Is also a good time to invest In
furs, though, the wleo woman will guard
sgalnat the extremes which have run j
rampant this season and will , choose
modi-Is slightly conservative, whether
she Is buying a coat or small furs., The
long fur coat which has been this win-,
tar's fad may not be so chic next sea
son, but It Is fairly sure to be accept
able for certain kinds of wear. There
are slao tempting bargain In fur millin
ery. Of course, there Is no certainty
concerning tho stylos which will pre
vail next winter, but If a fur turban ,
or hat can ba bought cheaply, tt will be
a. good Investment under all circum-

to remodel them.

for . at least two months, every woman ,
will find it a wise precaution to order
her tailored trotting suit for spring

her suit If Will be best for the buyer
to select some lightweight material,
