It there be an object to harry any of you in hot haste to a step which yon would never take deliberately, that object will bo frustrated by taking time; bnt so good object ca& be frustrated by It. The government will not as- . sail yon. Yon can have no conflict without being yourselves the ag rressoro. Abraham Lincoln. MXrOLX 1 R. OEElt is agitated. Ralph Williams is aKitated. The On-Koniun Is agitated. All the old hoys are a,gitat;d. They Ih-ow I its because The Journal commends Abraham Lin coln. They itislst that Tho Journal has no right to applaud the career and works of Abraham Lincoln. They apparently claim that they are especial custodians of Lin coln's memory, Lincoln's principles and Lincoln's groat legacy to his country. Abraham Lincoln belongs to ' mankind." His great work was left aa a-Jegncy to his country. His memory in not a partisan memory but a patriot meyiory. Why shouldn't Tho Journal ap ,. plaud Lincoln. His principles are .4 Its principles. it believes in Lin- e colnlsm, and advocates Lincalnlsin. If tho CiPer-OreKonian-Williams- Penrose crowd were genuine friends of Llncolnlsra, they would '. -welcome all applause of Abraham Lincoln- from whatever source. The trouble with them is that they are trying to set up a new kind of Lincoln and to throw the ' ,- old genuine Lincoln overboard. They howl for "deeds, not words." They aro trylnc; to make the great nnrtv l.irc(ln founded n w.ne rnrtv -' Thev aro trvlne to ! rmlnt Lin-P ; coin as a war lord. They put a helmet on his head.

Tliey would put him on a ".'war charger and send him riding f . through this land in clouds of dust i Btrlkins terror to all who behold. . They would picture him at the i r head of marching columns, beat I lng war drums, seVried regiments and booming artillery. They would , ; paint nim in mo nerce aspect or ' a conqueror and a mighty man of r combat and conquest. ' t They have abandoned the Lin- coin wo nave ail Known and loved, -. and sot up a war Lincoln. Thev f Picture him as a made-in-Euron vi Lincoln. Shouting ."deeds, not words." they mirror him as a Cae 1 . ear,devoted to Caesariam, invasion - and combat. f' ,- l They have turned to the wall the kindly, benevolent, gentle face i. whose great wrinkles are eloquent - .i tuncuLga ana sympathies for mankind omt i.a.j i.vA iuotcau, am try ing tO .Show tho nonnln o x Eincoln with tho hard, cold mili tary face of an Alexander, armored, j x armed and capapled. .

GENERAL SIAXEUVERS T tlE military critics all agree mat our army would be far more efficient than it is if it could have, some Dractice ' "j-"u . ci ms uu u large scale, v. The various parts of the army are no doubt in excellent condition so ; far as discipline and the spirit of . Hhe men are concerned, but con ' certed action Is something it has never seen. . isqw tnat t.ne men are gathering along the Mexican border it would l0t be a had idea to keep them mcj utive actually be- come welded into a harmonious ' i wnole. The border will need for aom time a continuous guard from 5 the mouth of the Rio Grande to CalfTornla and while the men are 5 performing this duty they might . ; also receiW instruction .and prac- tic -in that wholesale maneuvering 7 -which. Is ' indispensable if Victories are to be 'gained In a campaign. , ; i'-The . concerted action of large bodies of troops is the most diffi- X f cult thine to be attained In con- ducting a war, A great .army is like a machine which may be ruined by the defect of a single cog and" the only way to avoid Such defects Is to keen the whole machine moving under constant in-1 spection and criticism. The, touch-j iness of our' army when anybody points out its faults shows that It has not been criticized enough. Unearned that this invention Is likely is like an only child who has been petted by a fond mamma until his temper has beenspolled. Switzerland's debt has increased nearly sixfold since the war. be gan. It is not alone the nations at war rn Europe that are having to pay the great price.

When the Oregon regi- ment entrained for the border it was seven hundred men short of its full war strength. In that regi ment were one hundred men who could ill afford to go. in that preparedness parade were eight hundred who could afford to go. Why is it that those who are clamoring for "deeds not words" fail ttrfurnish deeds and not words? Why do those who have been'dis-' turbing the night with their mil- itfcnt demands not go forth to ; fight? Why do not some of them i'n to the border line and go down let that hundred men come back to the support of their families? The New England and other 6tate societies, got results by writ ing congressmen in their former states aboutM.he grant land bill. They can, get Results again by ex erting the same influence ln be half of the plan to getthe grant land reclamation money eent on Oregon reclamation. BICYCLE8 T HE bicycle wan once ridden Y V tTl A T- C y Orirl are An 4 il.. United States but It nv ef glory is pretty well over on i tj - , our shores. The British still us It for a pleasure vehicle but Amer icans who can afford other means kpf transit commonly prefer them. Most of us have discovered that the pleasure we used to fancy we got from bicycling was an arduous i cln'nSlfYn "tVnllrlno. nTC I dolnslon warning on lOOt" isn't half so hard work and It Is more amusing when you consider the matter calmly and without prepos sessions. But inventors are busy recon structing the bicycle. They hope to eliminate Its more laborious qualities and retain Its simplicity and lightness. The motorcycle is too cumbersome and dangerous for dignified citizens who have respon sibilities and a aiake in the -country. A pleasure vehicle which Is more,than likely to bring its rider home dead every time he takes , it out for a Jaunt will never be' : popular among the leisured cjassea. I A biovcle ha been contrived which has an engine attached to j the rear wheel. The engine Is I small and can be removed when the rider so desires. We have not! to be the rage very soon. Wild; adventurers seem- to rjrefer the bie mntnrcvclA while nenfeahle ritizenn cling to the automobile. The "propeller bicycle" appears to be more promising. This has;ing everything. Today it invades a propeller sticking out behind the the field of young corn and cover rear wheel, for all the' world like row after row with &m'Ue cruelty. m . . rr- ,i , k , a motor boat.

Altgeld was assailed with the bitterest Invec tive during hia short political career, but after his death he was lialJod as the friend of humanity. The -strike leaders Eugene "V. rebs and others were arrested by the fed eral authorities and charged under the anti-trust law with conspiracy n re straint of trade. They were released on bail and later arrested on contempt charges and sent to jail on refusing to jay the fines lkn posed. With this act the strikers. Inadequately organ ized, were rendered helpless and were overpowered Had thev been better rrfr1 bldi'r ta,e The case of the strikers was carried to the United States supreme court, which court upheld the decision of the lower court, that they were guilty of restraint of trade and contempt of court. A like judgment of more recent date is that ln the Uanbury hatters case. And so was lost the element of hu manity In the law, till at last congress, awakening to a sense of humanitarian justice, excluded labor from the pro visions of the anti-trust laws. Human labor, considered as thing: of barter and sale, is how far removed from chattel slavery? Consider, then, how vigilant Is the law ln the cause of capital, and how blind ln the cause of labor. O.
