Byron. The public would not support dishonest baseball. Remorse cannot undo the wrong that has been done to another. The Golden Rule should be the governing rule in the realm of industry. A fine species of pride and satisfaction arises from owning one's own home. Many a man has ridden to Port Success on the stern old vessel Hardship. Business and industrial depression never last long, in this country. The economic recuperative powers of this country are marvelous. The best in thought and effort that one can give to the work in which one is engaged is none too good. A vast deal is done by machinery today. But there still is great demand for men of skill and energy. The machine has not supplanted the man. Note the boys and girls who pluckily are working their way through school or college. Of such material great and useful men and women are made. ABRAHAM LINCOLN AN ISOLATED SPIRIT The character of Abraham Lincoln has been and is the favorite theme of historians and biographers. Diverse phases of his many-angled nature have been discussed and re-discussed. Perhaps from none has the great Emancipator received more sympathetic meed of characterization and praise than from Woodrow Wilson. Perhaps no one apprehends more clearly the great role that Mr. Lincoln played in this Nation's crisis than does Mr. Wilson, because the latter also trod the trying paths of the war-president. Mr. Wilson concludes that "that brooding spirit had no familiar." It was "a very lonely spirit," observes Mr. Wilson, "that looked out from underneath those shaggy brows and comprehended men without fully communing with them, as if, in spite of all its genial efforts at comradeship, it dwelt apart, saw its visions of duty where no man looked on." Then Mr. Wilson draws a vivid picture of the isolation of greatness—experiences which Mr. Wilson himself has undergone. There is a very holy and very terrible isolation for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in the affairs for others as well as for himself, for a nation as well as for individuals. That privacy no man can intrude upon—That lonely search of the spirit for the right, perhaps no man can assist.

But there still is great demand for men of skill and energy. The machine has not supplanted the man. Note the boys and girls who pluckily are working their way through school or college. Of such material great and useful men and women are made. There is nothing sweeter, more lovable or more inspiring under heaven than a little child. The innocent babe is truly a gift from God—a gift worthy the Giver. Uncle Sam will not participate in the Genoa conference. But if it should initiate something that really would make for economic and financial recuperation in Europe, Uncle Sam would welcome the move and cooperate with it. Chief Justice Taft thinks too much attention has been given to athletics in universities and not enough to scholastic achievements. He urges that the intellect-developing phase of university work be dwelt upon more, and that an evener balance be struck between scholastic work and athletics. Public sentiment unquestionably is strong for ratification of the arms conference treaties. This being election year, with the seats of one-third of the total membership of the senate to be filled at the polls, senators will be chary about going counter to the wall of the people. Public opinion has made itself felt strongly in Washington in favor of these treaties. WHEAT LEADS CEREALS IN EXPORTS Cotton no longer is king among exported American agricultural products. Exports of wheat and flour, last year, reached the highest figure ever attained by that cereal, and exceeded the value of cotton exports. Statistical figures, usually, are anything but thrilling. But the figures showing the value of the leading agricultural exports from this country, last year, are so vast as to cause a thrill of pride and gratification to all loyal Americans. For example, of wheat and flour, exports totaled $551,000,000; cotton exports amounted to $524,000,000—a close second to wheat and flour; pork and pork products, including lard, amounted to $246,000,000; leaf tobacco; $205,000,000; corn and corn meal; $97,000,000; sugar; $49,000,000; rye; $44,000,000; condensed and evaporated milk; $38,000,000; cottonseed oil; $24,000,000; rice; $21,000,000; and barley; $21,000,000. These figures instead of being dry and uninteresting, are of romantic interest. They denote, in eloquent terms, the majestic power and importance of the American farm. They speak of millions of happy people in far-away lands made comfortable and glad, nourishingly fed and warmly clad, from products of the American farm. These figures speak for an industry that is above all other industries in this or any other land, in the value of the riches it annually produces—the American farming industry. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying WHAT WOULD MR. LINCOLN DO?—Pittsburgh Leader There is less curiosity expressed today about "What would Lincoln say?" and "What would Lincoln do?" Is it because we are just a little timid about hearing what the answer would be after he scrutinized our situation? After he measured what we have done, what we are doing and what we are saying? For Lincoln never lost the viewpoint of the frontier environment into which he was born, and in which his life was passed until he entered the White House. He loved that environment with all its crudeness, all its hardships. Especially he loved the human beings within it. To his big soul and kindly spirit all were his kin. The unity never became obscured in his mind. Even after political fortune had carried him far away from that environment he never lost his contact with it. The every man who seeks to read the detainment in the affairs for others as well as for himself, for a nation as well as for individuals. That privacy no man can intrude upon—That lonely search of the spirit for the right, perhaps no man can assist. WISE AND WITTY SAYINGS IN BRIEF If you own something you can't use, it owns you.

For Lincoln never lost the viewpoint of the frontier environment into which he was born, and in which his life was passed until he entered the White House. He loved that environment with all its crudeness, all its hardships. Especially he loved the human beings within it. To his big soul and kindly spirit all were his kin. The unity never became obscured in his mind. Even after political fortune had carried him far away from that environment he never lost his contact with it. The new surroundings did their best to make him over or swallow him up—but they failed. He was permitted fewer opportunities to enjoy the common human unity, but he never allowed a chance to slip by without an embrace from his long, powerful arms. His eyes always brightened when these chances came, his lips always had the ready smile in spite of the sorrows that crowded upon him with crushing force, his heart always was warm and sympathetic. There was a ponderous but whimsical and kindly rebuke in his homely observation, "God must love the common people greatly—He made so many of them." It was a remark that brought him no new friends in Washington, that did not increase the numbers of his well-wishers, or strengthen the hands of those in high places who might have become his friends. That was the martyr's way of reminding the relatively small circle which enclosed him that, come what might, "Abe" Lincoln was still one of the people; the son of broad human nature. But what was worse to that circle was the warning contained in the observation—that this son of the soil, sitting at the head of a great nation, never could be made Anaheim Battery Co.

The following from the Slater, Mo., Rustler, is proof of my contention: "The stork visited at Dave Howard's few days ago and left a fine baby, a boy or a girl, but we haven't learned which." Of course it is quite evident that it was either a "boy or a girl." Contrib. Most every man is proud of something, and that something is usually himself.

Today the main excitement in the business district, up until 2:30 this afternoon, was a fistic encounter between two gentlemen who reside in and near-Creston, which occurred on North Maple street. How the encounter started was not learned. The first inkling that anyone had that things were going amiss was when a baby girl loudly screamed that someone was "hurting my papa," and then set up a scream that could be heard a block away. "Smiler" Towne was engaged in cleaning up the engine house, and hearing the scream, rushed to the window and seeing a battle in progress, hurried out and placed the contestants under arrest. Within a few minutes after they were arrested Mayor Ed. C. Keith convened the police court and after both contestants plead guilty fines them each one $10 and costs, a total of $12.85 for each contestant. From the Creston, Ia., Advertiser-Gazette.
