Abraham Lincoln will In time be considered by the whole world as the greatest man who ever lived, second only to Jesus of Nazareth. He was rborn In a log cabin February 12, 1809, and assassinated In Ford's theatre, Washington, D. C, April 14, 1805. WHY DO WE NOT EXPORT MORE MANUFACTURES? Tho annual oxport of manufactures from tho United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, Brazil, Argonttnca, and Europe outsldo of Turkey and 4ho Balkan regions, amounts to1 just about a round four billions. Of this tho United Kingdom had, in 1902, $1,141,131,000, or nearly one-fourth. Qormaay had (1901) $824,051,000, or nearly one-flfth. Franco had (1902) $508,803,000, or nearly one-eighth. AND THE UNITED STATES, IN SPITE OF THE ENORMOUS DE TELOPMENT OF IT8 MANUFACTURING SYSTEM, HAD (1902) ONLY 4403,631,000, OR A LITTLE MORE THAN A TENTH. ,Why asloa Everybody's, Magazino, Is tho United States so much bo lilmt its rlvala. , k jo bo aiiro tho domestic market Is onormouB, but It is far from largo enough to keep tho factories going all tha time. . 'Wo must have tho foreign markete," tho manufacturers say; and ;thoy must. If they cannpt dispose of their surplus product abroad, they must "ahut down" their factories from timo to tlmo. Stoady labor for tho factory hands at homo Is dopondont In many cases upon tho marketing of this trado. , v BUT THE UNITED 8TATE8 OUGHT TO BE AHEAD OF FRANCE .AND AT LEAST ABREAST OF GERMANY. WHY, 18 IT NOT. tho GOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE A LABOR PROPOSITION. Tho quostlon of having any grades "In tho public schools abovo ninth grado Is abovo all olso a labor proposition. ' Thoro aro now in tho schools 100 boys and girls who are finishing tho ninth grado and If thoy quit thon thoy become competitors with laboring people 'NOT OVER TEN PER CENT WILL GO TO COLLEGES AND THE OTHER NINETY WILL 8EEK POSITIONS IN DIRECT COMPETITION TVITH WORKER8 NOW EMPLOYED IN THE COMMUNITY. Thoy aro mostly young boys and girls and thoy will have to work very cheap as beginners and will bo employed as dorks and In all lines Instead of full hands' Tho full public school courso would koop them In school two or threo years longor, until thoy woro older, bettor educatod and not to bo em ployed for a morely nominal compensation. Tho moral sldo of this question alono Burpasso3 in importance tho Industrial phoao of tho question of bettor public schools. To closo tho public schools at tho ninth grade means that boys and girls aro to bo thrown out Into thworld at tho ago whon they aro not yet matured in any respect. Thoy aro neither children nor adults. THEY ARE AT THE AGE WHEN THEY ARE MOST EASILY IN F.LUENCED FOR GOOD OR BAD AND WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT YET BE TURNED INTO THE STRESS AND STRIFE OF WAGE EARNERS. Laljor orgunlatlons should stand ns an unit for tho additional grades In tho publlo schools. Thoy should do that out of charity for tho boys and girls nnd out of Justice to themselves as wago earners. THE COMPOSITION OF RIVER GRAVEL. Tho statement of this papor, that rlvor gravpl Is largely composed of material thnt crushes under traffic nnd is easily ground up, Is contra dieted by somo ono. Tho fact Is that tho roads mntlo or gravel during our long wet wlntors under heavy traffic become covorcd deeply with mud. Whothor this Is duo to tho grnvol stones crushing, or tho mud and oand in tho gravel, wo do not protend to be ablo to say. The common rivor gravol 1ms In It soft stones of ' indurated clay that will write llko chalk on other hard substnnces. Tho fact remains that grnvol makes better roads than dirt. TO BE FAIR AND JUST TO GRAVEL, IT MUST BE SAID THE WAY GRAVEL ROADS ARE CONSTRUCTED HAS MUCH TO DO WITH. THE OBJECTIONS TO ITS USE AS ROAD MATERIAL. Maohlnoa havo boon Invented that grado and scroon grav61, Into threo fclzea. Tho coarsest la put down first, tho medium next and tho finest on tQjt Each layer la rolled down solid and a lino rondwny Is tho ro- BUlL nut a wldo fiat street cannot bo built of grnvol that will not bo con verted Into mud by traffic. Thnt has boon thoroughly trlod in this city, ami cannot bo disputed. U la up to tho advocatos of gravel to show the people how to build hotter streets out of that material. THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN OVER THE LIBERTY BROKEN ROCU ROAD DO KNOW THERE IS A ROAD THAT STOOD HEAVY TRAFFIC AND DID NOT GRIND UP INTO MUD. Tho taxpayer has n right to something moro sqllsfnotory for his mon ey If ho. can got It. Good roads can bo built of rlvor gravel but thoy havo not yot been built of that mattrlal In tlioso parts. THE COUNCIL 18 PROCEEDING WITH CARE AND DELIBERATION. The Kopubllcan olty council has boon fairly organised and Is slowly and steadily getting down to Ita work. Thp rules of that body aro bolng printed and tho books of the old -ndmfuUtratlon aro bolng oxportod. Tho work of passing a blcyclo ordlnanco and floating a popular loan and starting a street improvement are all under way, Ttfo charter anil tho ordinances will havo to bo compiled and printed and thon tho couucllmcn and tho mayor at least will know what tho city laws aro. All this takoa tlmo. Fifteen now ekctrlo lights havo been located THE POLITICAL 8ITUATION IN LINN COUNTY. Tho Albany Herald , has these suggestions as to thq coming election IniatjCeunty: ,' - ..', , ,- . . ' jrl& Herald admits that there have been factions In the Linn county Republican body. But.for those upfortunato differences Linn county would havo the advantages of Republican' officials. But It is truo that at present there Is every prospect that Linn, county Republicans will avoid former causes of difference and all work earnestly for tho causo of their tlckqt. Tho election can show no henv majorities for any candidate. It looks much llko an even proposition, with tho odds In favor of tho Republicans, If their strong men are nominated, as will probably be tho case. Republicans can count on somo reinforcement from voters who havo previously voted against them, but who are weary of things as they are, and disgusted with county rule for somo years. For this good county to be longer hampered by a government .of "Lords of mlsrulo" would bo unfortunate indeed. xLInn county has pro grossed, not because of them, but In splto of them. Linn county cannot hopo to take her place at the front until now conditions exist in coun ty affairs. This is plain to any one. Thoso who have for somo tlmo enjoyed good Incomes drawn from the county treasury should begin to faco the need of retiring to prlvato life. But if thoy havo been saying, thoy will bo prepared to do so. IIMIIH-I HUH IH it-ll Utl- tho excellent Illustrations make this !! -q 4, tyr 4 J tho Ideal sporting monthly.
