DEMOCRATS ON LINCOLN, 1864.
As the Abraham Lincoln centennial
of February 12, 1909, approaches, it
will be somewhat amusing to see how
the would-be democratic statesmen,
democratic politicians, and democratic
editors and newspapers, will try to

The appointment of Professor Rouse

familiar with the needs of the schools

As we expected the democrats have
commenced legislation looking to the
abolishment of the direct primary law.
It may look good to the democrats as a
party, but the News-Herald does not

favor of going back to the convention

THE
ON
NEW YORK WORLD
SEDITION.
In the issue of the Plattsmouth Jour
nal, of January 22, appeared an editor
ial from the New York World, on
"Sedition: 1798-1909," in which the
New York World editor has a long
tirade against President Roosevelt and
the republican administration, because
President Roosevelt insisted on pros
eating the editorof the World for libel,
in its vicious and false attack on the
President and the administration in
regard to the Panama Canal purchase.
Below, we give some of the vicious
and false attacks made by this same
New York World, upon President Abra
ham Lincoln and his policies, while
Lincoln was still living:
"The party of which Abraham Lin
Coin is the candidate and representative,
thoug'i professing fealty to the union,
is its most dangerous foe. The facts
of it 3 history, the spirit of its policies,
claim they are Lincoln democrats. Con- j achool of good citizenship. The univer-
trast what these modem day democrats j lity now has its departments of political
will claim now that Abraham Lincoln's
fame and his deeds mark the most
wondrous pages of our national history.
Here is what they said of Lincoln,
while alive, and a republican president.
Mark it, just 45 years ago:
"Under the pretense of a military
necessity of a war power higher than
the constitution, the constitution itself
has been disregarded in every part, and ;
public and private rights alike trodden
down and the material prosperity of
the country essentially impaired."
Democratic National Platform, 1864.
"Resolved, That the administration
of Abraham Lincoln, by its usurpations,
its disregard of the constitution, its
violation of personal liberty and state
rights, its resort to military power to
subvert civil authority, its temorizing
and cowardly degradation of the nation
in its foreign policy, its perversion of
the war from its original object and its
avowed determination to prolong it has
become revolutionary in its character."
New York Democratic convention
September 15, 18C4.
"There is not a man here whose life,
property and everything whose wife,
children and home will not be in dan
ger should such a deplorable result fol
low as the election again of Abraham
Lincoln." John McKeon, inan address
to the democratic convention. Sept. 4,
1864.
"The constitution is indeed a most
sacred instrument. It is attacked by
armed traitors in the south and insidi
ous double-dyed traitors in this admin
istrationMr. Lincoln at the head-at
the north." J. B. Haskina, in address
to the democratic convention, Aug. 31,
1864.
The foregoing quotations are only a
few of the many that could be given to
show how the democratic politicians re
garded Abraham Lincoln, while he was
performing his duty as a republican
president, and giving to us a united
country and universal liberty. The
democratic would-be statesmen, demo
cratic politicians, and democratic press
have continued to denounce every re
publican president and republican ad-
A BUSY LEGISLATURE.
The famous democratic etatemen,
called legislators, have put in almost a
month, and thus far have passed just
two bills, one for an appropriation for
the payment of their own salaries, and
the other for an appropriation for "per
quistes" called "incidentals." This
looks like a busy legislature,
"some shrewd fellows" in it. If It
takes a month for the democratic legis
lative statemen at Lincoln to pass a bill :
for the appropriation of their own
salaries and "perquistes," and keep
busy at it, how long will it take them
to give some real legislation of benefit
to the people generally. A low esti
mate of the cost of the legislature
would be $1000 per day. This busy
democratic legislature have been in
session nearly 20 days. Twenty days
at $1000 per day would be $20,000. If
it costs $20,000 for a democratic legis
lature to appropriate their salaries and
"perquistes," what will the dear people
have to pay for some real legislation?
Taxpayer sit up and take notice.
