The Gettysburg Epic.
At the dedication of the Gettys
burg cemetery on November 19,
1863, Edward Everett Hale was the
orator of the day, and ho thrilled an
Immense audlenco with his lnipas
Blonod eloquence. Ho spoko for two
hours, and tremendous npplauso is
said to have followed the address.
On tho same occasion Abraham Lin
coln, more visibly molnncholy than
usual, uttered some 260 words and
sat down without provoking a cheer.
Since then many great speeohos
hnvo been made at Gettysburg. An
nually patriotic men nnd women go
thcro to pay their tributes of respect
to "these honored dead," who "gave
tho last full inensuro of devotion"
there upon the altar of their country,
and listen to cloquont words. But
what other speech besides Lincoln's
Is fixed In tho pcoplo's minds? Even
Hale's matchless power of oratory
did not intrench his. Mr. Halo was
lght when ho said that his speech,
which provoked tho applnuso, would
be forgotton when Lincoln's, which
aroused no cheering, was remem
bered and recited by young and old.
is 'a beautiful story that relates
31 ow disappointed Mr. Lincoln
Boomod at what he regarded his utter
failure upon this great occasion, but
how that tho failure to cheer meant,
not lack of Impression, but such a
depth of emotion upon tho part of
his hearers aB could find no true ex
pression in mcro hand-clapptng.
Tho Lincoln speech not only lives
in tho momorios of men, but stands
forth as an oplc of tho times; not a
bit of dead literature but a glowing
torch to light and keep allvo tho fire
f patriotism in men's souls. And
thus It is cherished as tho matchless
pcech of all tho Gettysburg speeches.
Dare They Do It?
And now It Is proposed as part of
tho program for tho return to Joffor
sonlan simplicity, which is supposed
to stamp tho new ' administration,
that tho wornon in highest official
life at Washington bring tho dress
display at social functions down
again to a democratic level. How
can anyono but millionaires, It Is
asked, participate In public lifo If
their wives and daughters cannot on-
tortain, and accept tho invitations
thoy are oxpoctcd to accept, without
small fortune bolng lavished In
filling tho wardrobo with a spoclal
dross for each soparato occasion?
Ono woman. Is quotod as saying that,
having worn each of hor small stock
of ovonlng gowns half a dozen times
since coming to tho capital, she feels
it would bo a disgrace to face tho
same peoplo In tho Bamo clothes
again, and can think of no avenuo of
OBcapo but to resort to an attack of
nervous prostration, cancel all social
engagements and go out on a farm
to live tho simplo lifo.
Every woman who has expressed
any thoughts on tho subject admits
that the elaboration of attire In so
ciety clrclos has passed all bounds of
coat and decency, and that thoy
would welcome relief in a roturn to
common-sonao dressing. It thoy
could only bo socially active with a
few simple drosses thoy might do-
voto to useful purposes tho greater
part of tholr tlmo now spent at tho
drosBmakors. But tho rojolndor is
that no ono dares force this needed
reform, that the pace is sot and that
so far as feminlno attire is concerned
Jefforsonian simplicity is as dead as
the royal mummies of ancient Egypt
So, presumably, thoro Is nothing to
do but to wait and seo whothor tho
women aro to bo any nearer real
dross reform four yoars hence than
they aro now.
Our Philippine Policy.
The reported contemplated ap
pointment of Richard L. Me teal fo
to a place on the Phtllpplno com
mission is heralded In certain quar
ters as indicating tho Philippine pol
icy of tho new administration, Mr.
Metcalfo presumably being of tho
earno mind as Mr. Bryan upon this
subject If wo want to know, how
ever, what the views of these two
distlngulsed democrats are with
reference to tho Philippines we may
refer back) to tho democratic plat
form of 1900, upon which Mr. Bryan
mado his second race for president,
and which platform waB said at the
time to havo been drafted by the
handiwork of Mr. Metcalfe. Tho de
claration on tho Philippines reads
as follows:
We condemn and denounce tho Philip
pine policy of the present administration.
It has Involved the republlo In unneces
sary war, sacrificed the lives of many of
our noblest sons, and placed the United
States, previously known and applauded
throughout the world as the champion of
freedom. In the false and un-American
position of crushing With military force
the efforts of our former allies to achieve
liberty and self-government. The Filipinos
cannot bo cttlsens without endangering
our otvtliratlon: they cannot be subjects
without Imperiling our form of govern
ment; and as we are not willing- to' sur
render our clvllliatlon nor to convert the
republlo Into an empire, we favor an Im
mediate declaration of the nation's pur
pose to give the Filipinos, first, a stable
form of government; seoond. Indepen
dence; and third, protection from outside
Interference, such as has been given for
nearly a century to the republics of Cen
tral and South America.
Here Is what Mr. Metcalfe had In
mind ton years ago, and In all
probability reflects the preconceived
notions he will carry with him It ho
goes to tho Philippines In an official
capacity. But wise men change their
minds, and It remains to bo soen
whether, after personal observation
and contact with the Filipinos at
home, the conclusion will not be
forced that tho Philippine policy of
tho McKlnely, Itoosovolt and Taft
administrations was and is not only
tho correct policy, but tho only
policy that can bo honorably and
consistently pursued by tho United
States.
Denver and Omaha A Contrast.
A decision handed down a week
ago by tho United States supreme
court In the Denver water works lit
igation, which is hailed as a clean
cut victory for tho peoplo of that
city, affords a striking contrast with
tho horrible bungle made by Omaha
In purchasing our water works. As
wo understand It, the Dcnvor law
suit Is crownod with a verdict per
mitting tho city either to buy tho
plant at a fair physical valuation,
shorn of franchise and good will
items, or to build a new plant of its
own if a satisfactory purchase price
cannot bo agreed upon. The court
holds that after tho expiration of the
franchise of tho Donver Wator com
pany (it expired in 1910) thoro was
nothing of value left belonging to
the company except 1U physical
property, and that oven thon the city"
is under no obligation to buy It out.
Bear this In mind a moment and
look back at the costly failure made
by Omaha, assured that wo could buy
our water works for 13,000,000, only
to bo compelled to pny nearly
$6,500,000 for it Omaha could
havo proceeded as Denver has done
to take over tho property by con
demnation or build a new plnnt
oxcopt for tho fatal mlstako forced
upon us by a political engineer try
ing to mnko a fat Job for himself.
Under compulsion Omaha was forced
to "elect" to buy under tho purchase
clause, and having once bo "elected"
were in a coon trap that caught us
coming and going and left us no
chanco to got out except by paying
nearly $2,000,000 more than tho
company would gladly have sold for
at tho start Tho worst part about
Omaha's sad experience Is that tho
people foot tho bills, whllo thoso re
sponsible for the shortago nestle In
soft borths, which thoy built for
themselves at public expense
Great, Year for the Bible.
Ono of the Interesting facts about
tho Blblo is that It never galnod ex
tensive circulation until it was trans
lated out of its original tongue.
Since thon It has been published in
460 languages and vernaculars, so
that today It finds expression in
practically all lands, Its popularity
is unparalleled in tho history of lit
erature, and it remains tho moving
power among men tho book of
books. According to the anual re
ports of tho American Blblo society
Ha circulation In book form has
reached 7,890,563 copies. It la
printod in the languages and on tho
presses of China In vast numbers an
nually. China, the oldest of pagan
empires, which was oxtant and pow
erful long bofore tho story of tho
Now Testament was possible. In
Japan tho Bible is a text book and a
knowledge of It Is regarded as In
dlsponsablo to a modern education.
So this book, giving to tho world
tho history and plan of salvation, has
been and is a dlstlnctlvo pioneer of
civilization. It has gone hand In
hand with commerce to push further
out the frontlors of tho modern
world, blazing new paths through
tho Jungles of old lands, effecting
conquest after conquest in the name
of humanity and progress. Some
times it has gono ahead of commerce,
sometimes It has followed, but al
ways they havo worked fairly well
togothor, and thus commerce, It Is
pleasing to believe, takes Its rank as
a missionary force in foreign lands
But, of course, the chief fact of tho
Bible's wldo distribution is the en
nobling influence It has had whor-
ovor accepted.
The West Leads in Education.
Tho mayors of Philadelphia and
Atlantic Olty and other municipal
officers of tho two cities recently
spent sovoral days at tho University
of Wisconsin, studying tho magnl
tude and methods of its work, par
ticularly its extension system. Not
long ago Boston entertained school
teachers from a westorn state for
tho purpose of borrowing ideas of
education from, thorn. Tlmo was
when such departures as this would
never have been thought of, for wo
havo been led to understand that all
models In education must come from
the east and that the west Is Btlll
the pupil of tho older soctlon of tho
country.
The Phtladelphlans and Atlantic
Cltyans express themselves as pro
foundly Impressed with tho Wiscon
sin "Idea" of education. Tho dis
tinctive feature of this idea is that
this university has become a labora
tory for the evolution of a system of
practical education that adapts it
self to the commonest needs of the
people, that promotes a democracy
of culture, devoting tho college, In
short, to public service. And this
great laboratory with a faculty of
4S0 members Is concentrated on one
campus. This Is something .tor cer
tain of our own people to think
about This leader of westorn state
universities, which, without neglect
ing the technical and professional
training of the youth, carries a sys
tem of practical, intensive education
to .the very doors of people all over
the state, operates, not from siat
tered centers, but a singlo base, Just
as any university must to subserve
the highest needs.
It is gratifying that the west can.
tonch tho east something about tho
methods of education and that tho
cast at la&t recognizes this.
Time Limit on Belief Applicants.
The committee In charge of relief
funds has qulto properly given notico
of a time limit on further applica
tions on behalf of tornado sufferers.
Thero must bo an end fixed for all
such things, and after the lapse of
more than two months thoro Is no
good roason why anyone with a mer
itorious claim for assistance for him
self, or for others, should havo failed
to havo made known the need and
tho desire.
It Is possible, nnd probable, that
some storm victims who felt that
they could get along on their own
resources will later discover their In
ability to do so without undue hard
ship. These cases will have to bo
handled as they arlso. But particu
larly In view of the pending proposi
tion to voto restoration bonds, It Is
highly important that full Informa
tion be had as to tho number of peo
ple requiring assistance over and be
yond the funds In hand, and this in
formation cannot be had without
striking a balanco between the appli
cations and the grants which tho
committee has made or authorized.
Prize Ring Slaughters.
"Why should the death of Luther
McCarty stir up all the talk about
abolishing prize fighting?" asks the
St. Louis Ropublic. "Evidence that
prize fighting is occasionally fatal
has been available ever slnco thero
wore prize fights."
Which, of course, Is true; in tho
last ten years, for instance, some
fifty-five deaths havo rculted from
prlzo fighting. But It would bo a
rather depressing thing If these "oc
casional" fatalities did not "stir up"
tho determination to abolish prlzo
fighting. Every one brings us that
much nearer the abolition, It Is to be
hoped, although it would seem too
bad to require a continued train of
such fatalities to knock out this relic
of barbarism.
If anything could be said In de
fense of prize fighting to Justify sus
pense opposition to it, it might be
different. Tho fact Is, pugilism as
now carried on stands absolutely on
untenable ground and ought to be
abolished. It Is Blmply a highly
commercialized form of brutality, ap
pealing to the worst human Instincts
without a Blngle compensating virtue.
Why would anyone not bo stirred up
to abolish such a system? If tho
profession" could boast of as good
talent as it once had, that might
offer some extenuation, but the facts
seem to show that even here it shows
degeneration.
High Prices and the Tariff.
Democrats drive tholr trick for
lowering the tariff "in order to re
duce prices," JUBt as If they really
believed that the high cost of living
was caused solely by tho protective
tariff. It must be admitted that
thoy have made a good .many peoplo
believe It Just as have certain finan
cial doctors once convinced many
that tho low cost of living was due to
closing tho mints to tho free colnago
of silver.
Tho federal government's reports
disclose tho fact that on January 1,
1912, thero wero 58,000,000 head of
cattle on American farms, as against
72,000,000 in 1907. Everybody
knows, who Is informed on the sub
ject, that thoro has been a decided
diminution In the cattle Bupply, for
ono reason and another, in the last
few yoars, .Just as peoplo know that
consumption of other staplo articles
Is outstripping production. Unless
tho democrats can hope to win their
case ultimately on sophistry, they
are very foolish t6 begin it on that
Tho probabilities are that the gen
oral range of the cost of living will
not be materially lowered by the
forthcoming tariff act, In which
event It will havo been better for tho
democrats nevor to have mado the
claim.
What strango turns tho wheel of
political fortune takes. Mr. Bryan
made his paramounter in the 1900
campaign denunciation of the gov
ernment's Philippine policy, which
ho called Imperialism. Now he
recommends his associate editor for
a place on the commission to handle
the affairs of the Islands, from which
he has always declared we should
withdraw at once It not sooner.
Nevertheless and notwithstanding,
many union veterans cannot help but
believe that a more appropriate tt
lection could be made to deliver

The wonderful strides made
by American business men dur
ing the past few years are with
out a parallel in industrial and
commercial history. Not only
has business become more thor
oughly systematized, more ef
ficient nnd more productive it
lias invaded new fields, con
quered obstacles which were
heretofore consid

ble nnd given to the
word "Business" a
new, wider and

THE BRAVEST BATTLE.
Joaquin Miller.
The bravest battle that ever was fought;
Shall I tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find
It not;
It waa fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen:
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep In a walled-up woman's heart
Of woman that would not yield;
But rotlt'ntly, silently bore her part
Lo! theio in that battle field.
No marshaling troop, no blvouao song;
No banner to gleam and wave;
And oh! these battles they last so long
From babyhood to the grave!
Yet, faithful still as a bridge of stars.
She fights In her wallcd-up town
Fights on and on In the endless wars,
Then silent unseen goes down.
