Chicago, Ind. It was well filled with
passengers, who were thrown- into a
panic by the collision. The streetcar

The passengers of the railway train
hurried to the assistance of those im
prisoned in the debris and began the
work of rescue. Calls for assistance
were sent to the nearest police sta

aid the iniured. The engineer of the
passenger train and the crew of the
streetcar were placed under arrest.

LINCOLN'S RELIGION IS
ROCKEFELLER'S TEXT
New York, Feb. 12.The question of
Abraham Lincoln's religion occupied
the attention of John D. Rockefeller,
Jr.'fl, Bible class yesterday. The ses
sion was intended as a sort of Lin
coin's birthday observance,
'J&l?*?!
^J2AM5'to
-as actuated always by pure motives,

8o it does not seem to be a question
of whether Lincoln ever publicly pro
fessed Ohrist, but that he lived as
Christ would have him. There is no
questioning the fact that Mr. Lincoln
was honest and a good man of high
ideals. Such a life is an inspiration to
us. Lincoln's example in honesty and
determination to do right is well worth
eopying."

Erling Bjornson son of Norway *s fore
most poet and liberal political leader,
addressed five hundred or inore for
tunate Norwegians on the recent politi
cal crisis in their native land^ The
speaker told, in the quaint way which
characterizes his father, of "the manner
in which Norway reached the highest
epoch in its historyits separation irom
Sweden.
"We might have formed a repub
lic, but by the time we would have
managed to elect a president we would
have Deen starved and naked,'' said
the speaker. "Our meager capital, our
industries, our fisheries, all lay dor
mant and self-destroying while the crit
ical period lasted.
'Let it be known now, if the world

were built, and few outside our land,
knew of it. Peace hung on the slim
mest of slim threads. War was nearer
than the world knew. There was not
a man nor boy who had not been as
signed to his post in case war came.
"Then came the man we needed,
Christian Mikkelsen, the present prime
minister. He found a letter from
Bishop Rosensten, one of the repre
sentatives of the hostile Swedish party.
It held out a severe ultimatum. Mik
kelsen burned it, and the next morning
he faced the commissioners, 'who held
the question of war or peace in their
hands, with a face which betrayed any
thing but the fact that he had spent a
sleepless night.
A republican government was
against our time honored constitution.
We chose to continue as a monarchy
because under a constitution like ours
the people have more to say and the
ruler less than in any country on earth.
Then we used foresight and fortified
our country thru family relations of the
royal house, so that the hungry wolves
of Europe cannot swallow us in a
mouthful without imminent indigestion.
We wanted a man to rule us who can
say: 'All for Norway.'

Uninvited SenH Gifts in Attempt
to Gain Entrance to
White House.
Washington, Feb. 12.President
Roosevelt ^,^siaementr issued oiv Fiji
day, asking for the kind consideration
of those whom it might have befn im
possible to invite to Miss Roosevelt's
Wedding, was the outcome of as per
sistent and embarrassing a struggle to
get invitations to the wedding as has
ever been experienced by any person,
even in this city of social "butters-
in."
The White House is not particularly
large. If you crowd the east room full
of people, standing, there will bo room
for about one thousand. Taking out
an thru which Miss Boosevelt will
waUt W it her father to meet
and the other necessary room, there
cannot be more than 800 people ac
commodated for the wedding. Thip
made it imperative that the invitations
should be kept down to 800.
Straggle for Cards.
The lists were scrutinized very care
fully. If it could have been arranged
there would have been several thou
sand invitations. The list was pruned
in every possible way. It was held tr
its lowest limits. When the cards went
out the struggle for invitations began.
People who were not invited, but
wanted to be^4aid siege to the White
House. They used' every sort of an.
expedient to get a card. Secretary
Loeb was held up personallv by tele
Iiticae
hon
a religious way no one seems have
known," said Mr. Rockefeller. "It is
a question that has been very widely
discussed. But if there is any doubt as
to whether Mr. Lincoln was a Christian,
one thing is certainhe did follow
Christ's teachings.
"Mr. Lincoln's life was one con
tinued effort to do what wag right. He impossible to invite. This had ape
was considerate of his fellowman and
and besought by letter. Po
influence was exerted.
Most embarrassing of all was tho
sending of expensive gifts to Miss
Alice by persons .the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt did not Vnow. Several
very costly presents from persons who
desired to get invitations have been
sent to the White House with the in
timation^thar in^iuT for" the tfft
a card to the wedding would be grateB
fully received.
Appeal and Boomerang.
In a hope of stopping this sort of
thing the president issued his appeal
for forbearance to those whom it was
culiar boomerang effect. Most of those
who had been insistent for invitations
took the appeal to mean somebody^ else
and made another effort to get invi
tations on the theory that it did not
mean them, but did mean everybody
else.
The president is much perplexed
about the gifts from the persons who
have no reason to send presents. It is
a most embarrassing situation, and in
order to meet it as diplomatically
possible, no official list of the guests
will be published. In confidence the
various classes of persons who have
been invited have been indicated to
the newspapers, but beyond that, un
less plans change, there will be no an
nouncement of the guests. Thus, if a
"butter-in" wan'ts to claim he OT
she was at the wedding, there will be
no official list to refute the claim.

Governor Johnson Gives Advice
at a Duluth Y. M. C. A.
Meeting.
Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Minn., Feb. 12.If one is
very economical, watches the nickels
and dimes and attends bargain sales
he can worry along on an income of
$10,000 a year. This is the theory of Gov
ernor Johnson, at least. The governor,
in an address at a meeting held by
the Young Men's Christian association
in a theater here Sunday, said it wasn't
necessary to have a cent more than that
amount and declared no person should
be permitted to have an income larger
than that.
I don't think any man should have
more than $10,000 a year," said the
governor. "I he lives right he does
not need any more."

there were no signs that many persons
in the audience were thinking seriously
of cutting down their incomes to such
a figure.
Man Never Has Enough.
"The most false standard of suc
cess in the world," said the speaker,
is that which sets up dollars and cents
as the height of its ambition, for the
simple reason that no matter how much
monev a man may acquire there never
comes a time when he can rest and be
content that he has enough if he has
been a devotee to the money god. There
is a man in New York who has set his
ambition at $1,000,000,000, and if he
ever lives to acquire it he will be sorry
that it is not $2,000,000,000.
Organized society as it -exists to
day might very fairly- be divided into
two general, classes, those who have
more appetite than dinners and those
who have more dinners than appetite,
and I feel positively certain that the
greater amount of real misery exists
among the people of the latter class.
"As a life work I would rather be
able to provide for the needs of a fam
ily, en-joy the fellowship of good books
and good friends and write one book
that would be read a hundred years
from now than to be able to amass all
the money in the world."
