If Alive, Would Lincoln Be a B*pub

Whether or DO Lincoln would b* re
publican, if. alive to-day, no on* can
say. This much, however, is certain:
when be was alive, be opposed nearly
everything for which present day re
publicanism stands, and warned his
oountry men against the dangers of sueh
doctrines.
In his immortal Gettysburg speech
he said:
Pour score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth up this conti
nent anew nation, conceived in liberty,
and dedicated to tbe proposition that
all men are created equal.
It was in bis debate with Douglass
that Lincoln won bis national reputa
tion. Here is an extract from one of
hiB replies to Douglass that |applles
with almost prophetic force to present
conditious:
Wise statesmen as they were, they
knew the tendency of prosperity to
breed tyrants and so tbey established
these great self evident truths, that,
when In the distant future some man,
some factor, some interest, should Bet
up the doctrine that none but rich men,
or none but white men, or none but
Anglo-Saxon white men, were entitled
to liberty and tbe pursuit of happiness,
thdir posterity might look up again to
the Declaration of Independence and
take courage to renew the battle which
their fathers began, so that no men
should thereafter dare to limit axu} cir
cumscribe the principles ovt which,toe
temple of liberty was being builfc**-.

ID the country could buy oil for hit
lamps at eight cents a gallon in cant.
The Standard Oil Company hae since
successively raised the price to twelve
cents, and its now sends out as a valen
tine to consummer a card announcing
the addition of another cent per gallon
on Feb. 14. This is an advance of five
cents a gallon, or 62per cent., within
less than a year.
What is the excuse? What the tea
sou It costs less, not more, to pro
duce the crude oil now than It did a
year ago. It costs less, not more, to re

HARRISON I SMITH
The Standard Oil Company last year
paid 80 per cent, dividends on a largely
fictitious capitalization of $100,000,000.
With such profits to the good, it has
certainly no excuse for increasing tbe
price of its commodity by 63% per cent.
But to the second question, "What is
the reason?" the anwer is easy and
obvious. The Standard Oil Company
is a conspiracy of Greed against Need.
It enjoys a monopoly "worse aDd more
oppressive than anv .ver granted by
the Tudors in England's most despotic
times." It Is not satisfied with 80 per
cent, dividends on its watered Btock if
by its monopolistic control of the mar
ket it can make the owners of kerosene
lamps pay more. And it can.
Would Mr. McKinley disturb it in
view of "what was done during the
canvass last year," to quote Hepburn,
of the Standard Oil Bank, to Gage in
June, 1867?—New York World.

The world of Want.
I stood upon a morning height and saw
The aeons roll I caught the light of time
And felt the glad vibrations of the stars.
A century aew swept grandly into space,
Oolden with light of promise, while the
old
Yet lingered In the glory of Its going.
My heart was filled with lore, with lore ef lore,
Of lire, ef all that Is

My brother dwelt.
There grim and gaunt he stood
Wan-eyed Dlsp-ilr alone companioned hloa.
I saw the knotted bands, the twisted frame,
The vacant eyes from whloh the soul had fled
And even as I gazed lis fell as falls
Thestrlckea brute then, strumllng wealcly up,
Bent to his task again as bent to oar
Tbe galley slave of old,
Then saw I there
In that dark world of his the lean wolf's ory
And saw young babies lie gasping out their
lives
In homes where grewsome Want held fearful
sway.
And beauteous girls I saw, selling themselves
For bread to thrice-dammed monsters gulsed as

Kaffir Corn.
The Kansas station recommends two
varieties of Kaffir corn, the red and the
black hulled white. Kaffir corn makes

cold soils surface planting is best. On
warm soils listing does well. Plant in

good crop of corn. Uany farmers sow
Kaffir corn broadcast, cut with mower,
handle and feed as hay. When grown
for grain, the heads may be cut off and
gathered if the fooder is to be used, the
eheapest method of harvesting Kaffir
corn is to cut and put it up in large
shocks.
Grimaon Clover.
This crop closely follows rye in the
feeding rotation and has proved very
valuable in New Jersey. It has bean

clover and has yielded from 8 to 11
tons of green forage per acre, depend
ing upon the method of seeding, wheth
er on raw ground or as a clover crop.
Experience in the growth of this crop
indicates that July is the best month
for seeding, though it may be seeded as
late as September and do well provided
the autumn is moist and w*rm. The
best crop results are obtained when the
soil is thoroughly prepared and the
seed lightly covered with a harrow or
other tool which does not cover too
deeply. The amount of seed may
range from 10 to 16 pounds per acre.

of a circular recently sent out by the
United States' department of agricul

Smooth brome has been known in
Europe for over one hundred and
thirty years. The early agriculturists
did not consider it of any value because
of its creeping rootstocks, thus re
sembling the dreaded couch grass. In
1884, however, Stebler and Shroeter
demonstrated by experiments conduct
ed for thirty years at Magocs, Hun
gary, that it had the power to with
stand long periods of drouth when all
other grasses succumbed.
These experiments resulted in intro
ducing tbe grass into cultivation in
Hungary, where it still retains the
name of Hungarian brome-grass. Its
