' Elements of Greatness in the. Charac
ter1 of .Abraham' Lincoln" was the aubject
of the 'memorial sermon delivered yester
day morning by Dr. Otterbeln O. Smith,
paster--; of the First Congregational
church Sunday. The morning ervlce wss In
commemoration of the Lincoln anni
versary and was attended by many mem
bers " of the old soldiers' organization.
Lincoln's favorite hymn, "Tour Mission."
by Helen -H. Gates, aas ung as a duet
by the Misses Edith and Alma Smith. At
the close of the services "America'' wan
sun by the congregation.
Dr. Smith took as his text, "Thera was
a man sent from Qod," John l:vl. The
address, was based, on four elements of
greatness ,1a the, .great emancipator.
"Abraham Lincoln," said Dr. Smith, "was
great in Ms Inheritance, great In his
birth, great In his Intellect and great In
his soul life, and because of these facts,
despite "adverse surroundings, became
America's greatest son.
'There can be nothing said that will In
crease the light of his great life, but
mir hearts will be warmed and quickened
by recalling the- struggles of this great
soul to preserve the nation and give free
dom to those who were bound.
"lie was great in his Inheritance 'ot
isuse he ceme of a family who had been
a clean, earnest, helpful element in the
dcxelopinenl ' of the -community In which
they lived.
"He was great In his birthright because
he had a pure-minded, Godly mother. Ka
ma it ever attained greatness who did not.
We may be sure that Into the current of
his noble nature flowed the prayers and
hopes of she who paused through the val
loy In which Ilea the shadow that he
migM live. It is not where a man Is born
thst makes his birth noble or Ignoble, but
the nature of the mother who gives him
birth. It matters little that Abraham
Lincoln was born In a log cabin. It
seem significant and prophetic that his
mother In her backwoods csbln should
have been led to give her son the name
of Abraham, 'father of the faithful.' He
was not only great in his birthright in
that he was born of a pure, Godly
mother, hut also In the atmosphere of
patriotism which surrounded lilm. . Few
or us realise that the birth of Lincoln
whs but thtrty-three years removed from
the Ieclarstlon of Independence, but such
was he case, so that the fires of patriot
ism were binning fresh and warm In the
hearts of the people.
,"lle showed the greatness of his Intellect
by displaying a geniu3 for learning. There
was nothing of romanco or fascination in
his 'early life. Those days were days of
toll ami struggle with poverty ever at the
door. He went to school but very mil,
ab-ut n year In nil. and that a poor dii
trlct school. The fact that he wss nomi
nated when but a years of age for tho
legislature shows the power of his intellect
and Die Improvement he' l ad made, or the
people would not have reccgntsed In him
a Jnan of promise at such an early age.
'lly was great In his soul life, because
only a great soul could have stood the terri
ble stoim which beat upon him every hour
of thope long yours of the war. No words
tan tell the story of those dark days. The
dus of suffering, the nights of anguish
and the endives strife and criticism, by
etcn his friends, made for this noble heart
a dally crucifixion.
"Every day the splendor of this great life
la being actualized in the Increasing forces
that maku up the ongoing of this mighty
ration of ours and let us hope that, the
time wi never come when the eyes of the
leaders of this "nation will be turned from
the character of this great soul."

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
MOINES, Feb. 15. (8peclal.)-The
outlook for expenditures fitting to the In
come for th state of Iowa Is not as good
as it seemed ton days ago, and legislators
who desire to continue the state on the
safe and solid basis of the last ten yesrs
are wondering Just how they are going to
00 the necessary paring and still leave the
claimants satisfied. They are fully de
termined the state shall not return to the
conditions of a doaen year ago, when It
was burdened with Jan illegal debt and tho
state treasurer waa paying out money for
interest because of the inability to establish
the cash system.
Th latest budget estimate contemplates
an expenditure the next two years of a
little more than 12,600,000 which is'a full
1,000.000 more thsn Is in sight. And the
worst feature Is that In this increase Is In
cluded continuing annual appropriations
which call for over 1600,000 each year right
along Indefinitely. In other words, the bills
In the books call for a permanent Increase
of state expenditures of $1,000,000 each bien
nial period. A brief statement of the budget
as it now stands Is:
Three state colleges $1,436,000
Fifteen state institutions 443.000
Miscellaneous Items 742 0U0
Total asked $1,621,000
Bills for Institution.
When the college bills appeared there had
been material additions to the original es
timates, so that the total of askings for
these three Institutions Is nearly that of the
estimated sums available for all purposes.
An analysis of these bills shows:
Support. Special.
university tivw u m
College . m.mn am. 'oral
Normal 26.000 84 rmn
Totals $753,000 $S8J,000

School Rill Fight.
Illustrating the fact that the school
codification bill Is beginning to hurt the
politicians, the members on Saturday re
ceived by mall an unsigned screed printed
on a plain slip of paper and headed:
"Read this, take It home with you, have It
printed in your home paper." It Is remark
able for Its crudity and bad grammar
and punctuation. It Is as follows:
Speaking of the School Bill now before
the legislature. J. Peasley, who has been
Ity Superintendent of Schools for twenty
five years, remarked that, after reading
the Bill several times, he regarded it ss
an absolute Invasion upon tho school

in lis manipulations; as a Bill most In
sidious In Ita aim to establish Star Cham

place our schools under college control
a Bill most lihersl in its provisions for

the reporters said. "Thst Just shows thst
we reslly need some kind of a school sys
tem thst will educate the people- Here Is
same one pretending to be a leader In edu
cation who talk of the bill before the
house In a fnsnner which shows tie Is
stupidly ignorant and sadly In need of some
elementary education. If we had good rural
schools such Ignoramuses would not be
writing notes to the legislators."
Continuing Appropriations l.araer.
A rough estlmste of the portion which Is
In the nature of continuing annual appro
priation Is $351,000 for the two years, or
tln.OOO annually. The continuing appropria
tions sought for the colleges aggregate
$753,000. This would mak $553,600 a year
for all Item.
Of course quite a number of the Items
can be disposed of with a word, such ss
the university correspondence course, the
harvester Investigation, the utilities com
mission, river surveys, probing commis
sions, conservation commission, bank
guaranty and increase for the Board of
Health. There Is slso no probability of ny
large expenditure for roads unless at the
same time there Is a way provided for
the funds other than by direct taxation.
Tt Is believed that practically all the big
bills are In for the session, unless there
are to be bills for the purchase of lsnd
at the state capttol and for completing
th historical building. In due time the
representatives of the college and state
Institutions will be called before the com
mittee and will be asked to revise their
estimates and make reductions so that the
expenditure will not again put the state In
debt

upon his arrival there Tuesday morning. He
will take the document to th White House,
where It will be the subject of a conference
with President Roosevelt.
The contents of the report hay been
forecasted. The festures will be a strong
endorsement of tha present plans, tho com
mendation of the organisation under
Colonel Goethals and recommendations
tending to show that Whatever error lias
been made has been on the side of th un
necessary precautions for safety.
While In Washington Mr. Taft expects
to confer with Senator Knox and with
other relative to cabinet appointments.
Th cabinet gossip which is regarded as
the most reliable Is that no one . has been
determined upon for the treasury port
folio. Senator Knox and Frank H. Hitchcock
have been asked and have accepted the
positions of secretary of state and post
master general.
"apposed Cabinet Mate.
As to the other places, unconfirmed
rumor, with a fair percentage of likelihood
for correctness, makes th cabinet as fol
lows:
Attorney general, Mr. Wickersham of Nw
York. '
Secretary of war. Mr. Wright of Ten
nessee. Secretary of navy, Mr. Meyer of Massa
chusetts. Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Balllnger
of Washington state.
Secretary of agriculture, Mr. Wilson of
Iowa.
Secretary of commerce and labor. Mr
Nagel of Missouri. j
It Is the general understanding that Mr.
Taft wlshe to fill the treasury portfolio
euner rrom Illinois or Ohio. Should the
appointment go to his own state It is likely
that it will fall to Myron T. Herrlck. The
seeming tumult of candidates from Illinois
1 regarded a militating against, rather
than for, that state's chances.
Mr. Taft' announced position is that he
will keep all appointments open until the
very last minute with the view of meeting
any situations that arise with the least
embarrassment to all concerned. It la
known that his attention Just now Is being
centered on the treasury place.
Mr. Taft also will consult with the presi
dent and other regarding his . inaugural
speech.
On his return here Thursday Mr. Taft
will be made a Mason "on sight," an honor
rarely conferred by the Masonic order.
LIBERIA IN NEED OF AID
Booker T. Washington Dlscnsse Con
dition Kslstlnaj In Little
Republic la Africa.
NEW YORK. Feb. lS.-Endorsing th
view of former Secretary Root that Uberia
Is an American colony, Booker" T, Wash
ington tonight decided the situation in the
African republic was serious and that the
United States was In duty bound to render
practical assistance to Liberia, which waa
established In 181!) by the United States
government and philanthropic Individuals.
Mr. Washington said:
"The preaent condition of Liberia is aerl
ous. There are about 40,000 civilised negroes
who have emigrated from the United States
or are descendants of people who emigrated
years ago. Back of these, In the Hinterland,
are about 1,600,000 of uncivilized people.
The present condition of Liberia, how
ever, need not surprise any one. In fact
the surprise la that Liberia has maintained
itself as an independent nation for ao long
a period with almost no help from outside
sources except that which has been fur
nished by philanthropic individuals. Every
European country which, has planted a
colony In Africa has spent millions of
dollars In maintaining, assisting and en
couraging their colonies. These European
governments have also sent their best offi
cials to supervise and guide the people
until they have gotten started. In the case
of Liberia a small body of people Just out
of slavery In this country, with no expert
ence in government or the conduct of edu
cational institutions or without responsi
bility fr their own conduct, were sent to
a foreign country and the responsibility
placed upon them within a few year of
building and maintaining a government.
"I do not believe the condition of Liberia
I hopeless, but I do believe this govern
ment owes, as Secretary Root says, a duty
to that country. Wc have spent largo sum
of money and given some of our best offi
cials to reorganise and rebuild governments
in the Philippines, Hawaii, Cuba, Porto
nico and San Domingo, and we certainly
owe an equal duty to Liberia.
"I believe and hope the United States
will carry out the recommendation made
to congnrs by former- Secretary Root and
by President Roosevelt in tho direction of
lending practical assistance through the
sending of tnree commissioners to Liberia
a early as possible."
DAM OF ICEIN NIAGARA
Only Tiny Rlvnlet Is Flawing; Over
American Aide of the Great
Falls.
NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y.. Feb. 15 -Only
a tiny rivulet not deep nor swift enough
to carry a pulp log across the brink is
flowing over tho American side of Niagara
Falls. A strong northeast wind which has
been blowing since Friday haa held back
the water and allowed the Ice to gain a
foothold. Two employes of the American
rescivatlon walked from Prospect Point
nearly to Bath island this morning. They
did not complete the trip merely because
they did not care to get their feet wet, a
stresm at one point being a few Inchea
above the tops of their boots.
A grest wall of ice runs from the head
of Gost Island to the American mainland,
through which only tiny streams are able
to trickle. This wall has even encroached
on the Canadian channel, extending out
some 200 feet beyond the third Sister Island
and greatly diminishing the flow over the
horseshoe. Only the very apex of the
Canadian falls Is left and that Is robbed of
half its flow. The gorge below is choked
and the rapids bav lost their fury, whil
th whirlpool Is barely in motion. Thla Is
only the third time that thla combination
of wind and ice has thus affected the falls
since th whit man came here. Th other
occasion were ou March 9. IStS, and
March 22. 1M.

Franklin Automobiles
Tire Trouble
. - ... r -
Ninety per cent of automobile road atop are due to tir
trouble. And it is the weight of an automobile that make tbe
tire trouble and the heavy expenae. Five per cent increase in
an automobile's weight adds fifteen per cent to the wear and
tear of the tires. Increase the weight one-third and tbe wear
on the tires is one hundred per cent greater. The average
water-cooled automobile weighs a third more than a Franklin
of same ability. The Franklin is air-cooled. It also has large
wheels and large tires larger in proportion to weight than any
other automobile which makes the wear on the tires still less.
So the Franklin solves the tire problem and solves it In the
only practical way.

NEW CABINET FOR TURKEY

PERFECT TRANQUILLITY REIGNS

to Downfall of Former Ministry,
Is nenppolnted Minister
of Interior.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. lB.-The sultan
has accepted Kiainil Pasha's resignation as
grand vizier and has charged I II I ml I aha
minlHter of the Interior and formerly In-
apector general of Macedonia, with the
formation of a new cabinet.
The Imperial "hatt" appointing Ililml
Pssha grand vizier and la Uddin Ef'fcndl
learned theologliin, as Sheik Ul Islsin
was read tonight at the Porte with the
usual ceremony. Perfect tranquillity pre
vails, the public appearing to be rather In
different to the changes.. Ililml Pasha's
arrival at the Porte was greeted with feeble
cheers by a small crowd. The chamber
held a brief sitting for the reading of the
hatt" and a proposal msde by a Jewish
deputy lo impeach Klamil Pasha waa
unanimously rejected.
Late tonight the grand vizier completed
his cabinet. All P.tza Pasha, whose dis
missal led to Kiamil Pasha's downfall, be
ing reappointed minister of war. He also
holds the marine portfolio and has been
made grand master of artllleiy. Ililml
Pasha himself takes the portfolio of the
ministry of the Interior, while the ministers
of finance, Justice, public work and com
merce In the former cabinet have been re
tained. , - t
The general impression Is that the whole
ministry will be short lived.
PARIS, Feb. la.-Naium Pssha,. the Turk
