He   Saw
Writing of his first meeting with
Abraham Lincoln, Colonel Watter-
son, in his autobiography, "Marse
Henry,*' says:
"Bis appeaarnce did not impress
me as fantastically as.it bad Impressed some others. I waa familiar with
the western type, and whilst Mr*
Lincoln was not an Adonis, even
after prairie ideals, there was about
biro a dignity that commanded
respect.    A '       -
"I met him again the next Monday
forenoon in hie apartment at Wil-
lard's Hotel as be was preparing to
start to bis Inauguration, and waa
struck by his unaffected kindness, for
I came with a matter requiring bis
attention, rnis was, in point of fact,
to get from him avcopy of the inauguration speech for tbe Associated
Press- I turned it over to Ben Perley
Poore, who, like myself, was assisting
Mr. Gohright. The President tbat
was abont to be seemed entirely self:
possessed; not a sign of nervousness,
and very obliging. As I have said, I
accompanied the cortege that passed
from the Senate chamber to tbe east
portico. . When Mr. Lincoln removed
his hat to face tbe vast throng in
front and below, I extended my hand
to take it, hut Judge Douglas, just
behind me, reached over ray outstretched arm and received it, holding it during th*e delivery of the ad"
dress. I stood just near enough the
speaker's elbow not so abstruct any
gestures be might make, thougb he
made bnt few; and then I began to
get a suspicion of the power of tbe
man..
"He delivered that inaugural address as if he had been delivering
inangural addresses all his life. Firm,
resonant, earnest, it announced the
coming of a man, of a leader of men;
and in its tone and style tbe gentlemen whom he had invited to become
members of bis political family, each
of whom thought himself a bigger
man than his chief might haye beard
the voice and seen the band of one
born to rule. Whether they did or
not, they very soon ascertained the
fact. From the hour Abraham Lincoln crossed the threshold of the
White House to tbe hour he went
thence, there was not - a moment
wben he did not dominate tbe political a<nd military situation and bis
official subordinates." A.

Various
Beet growers practically all over

that^tbe manufacturers are getting
the lion's share of the profits and
tbat consumers are not reaping any
benefit from the deal. According to
the Gratiot Co. Herald, in tbe Ashley
Bannister district alone; contracts for
2500 acres have been thrown up.

GOVERNMENT
Operation     Ot    Railroads     An
Expensive Experiment.
Nobody ever will know what the
administration's experiment in operating tbe railroads bas cost and will
cost the American people. Some figures are available and they are
staggering, but the indirect losses
caused by car shortage and political
management of the roads are things
that cannot be flamred. **  A A
Senator Cummins, ot Iowa, in a recent address, said that when the
government comes to settle its final
score with the railroads it must make
np a deficit of £700,000,000. But that
is not all. It is estimated tbat tbere
are against tbe government growing
out of the railroads* operation, claims
now amounting to more than S30O,000-
000. Thus, we have over a billion
dollars in cash that the taxpayers
must put up in order to demonstrate
a fact* already well known, that poli-
ticans      cannot -- operate   * railroads

Caught
an   investigation   into  conditions   by
tbe Michigan State Farm Burean, just | successfully nor any business success-
issued, shows. \A loss of a 830,000,800
industry to the state is threatened by
tbis action.
Tbe report shows that of tbe approximate 12,000 beet growers scattered over the state, more than 8,000
have eignad an agreement not to
plant unless there is a fairer division
of profits between the farm and the
factories. Figures advanced indicate
that the farmer in 1919 received
eighty-one cents profit on a ton of
beets, while the factory's net profit
on the same ton was 89.89. The far-
mer .can't affoad to stay in business
at this rate, it is declared.
The organization of tbe beet growers
has been virtually an overnight accomplishment. A small fraction of
the growers were organized when
attempts were begun early in the
winter to negotiate a new contract
with tbe manufacturers, but wben tbe
manufacturers refused to confer on
the subject, tbe growers signed up
by tde hundreds/ Two-thirds of the
total number of Michigan growers
are organized now with the planting
season two months off. It is believed
practically a 100 per cent organization will be perfected in the next few
weeks.
The growers are not asking a
higher price that would eventually be
tacked unto tbe consumers' purchase
price for tbe refined article, the farm
bureau report asserts. The figures
advanced as follows: Tbe price paid
the farmer on a ton of beet in 1979
was equivalent to $.057. a pound for
tbe refined product and if tbe manufacturer sold that pouncf for 11^cents
bis profit on tbe ton would be S9.B9
as against Si cents for .the farmer.
At tbis rate, the farm bureau contends,
the retail price of Michigan refined
sugar should not be over $.13 apound.
in most places it is selling now, at
an ayerage of 16c and 17c a pound.

Now tbeee flgureea, * staggering as
tbey are, wofild not mean much if it
were not for the fact tbat Ton wbo
read, this must pay this deficit. It
comes out of your pocket and out of
the pockets of the other taxpayers of
the nation. Nobody can realize how
great a sum one. billion dollars is.
But those shippers and others that
bave been forced to suffer great
losses because of inadequate and
sometimes, impossible railroad conditions, not only must stand tbe ordinary tax payers' losses but in addition vast sums of their own wbich are
estimated at more than a billion
dollars.
All of which may illustrate that it
ia better to allow lawyers to bandle
lawsuits, contractors to erect build.,

medicine and railroad men to run

Tbe Clare Study Club held a most
interesting and enjoyable meeting at
the home of Mrs Mulder, Tuesday,
Mar. 9, and it was truly an Irish day.
The President called the meeting
to order, the members responding to
Roil Call with a bit of Irith Horror,
much laughter following. "   j
Mrs. Kirk bride's excellent paper, \
"Celebrated Irish-Americans," was '
read by Mrs. EthelJ Allen, owing to
the absence of Mrs.Kirkbride, through
sickness. Ireland has given us more
great states men and orators than
any other country. Seven of our
Presidents were of Irish birth. She
has also given ns many talented artists.,. ■ 'i •   ' A . : ■ •
An Irishman, who surveyed our
county named it Clare, after the
county in which he was born, "County of Clare," Ireland.
"Irian Songs, Illustrated," by Mrs.
McGuire was entertaining as well as
very interesting. , Irish music is full
of love and sorrow, which must be
only natural, coming from a people
always so oppressed.
Songs were illustrated by Mrs. Mulder, Mrs. McAllister and Mrs. McGuire, also by Victrola Records.
Mrs. Anderson's paper on John
McCormack was very interesting and
gave the story of his life as a man
and great artist. Tbenatnralnes&^and
ease of bis wonderful voice has endeared him to all tbe people.
A discussion followed these papers,
and those wbo were not fortunate
enougb to be of lrisb parentage, went
away wishing their forefathers had
come from *'Falr Killarney.-'
The meeting was adjourned to meet
with Mrs. McGuire, Mar. 23.
Through an error the delightful
music with which the "Faculty Jazz
Orchestra" (Messrs Grant, Barton
and Miss Reiser) entertained the Club
at the meeting witb Mre. McAllister
Feb. 23., was not mentioned. It
was very matfb enjoyed and proyed a
rare treat. Mrs. McAllister in ber
very pleasing voice sang, "An Alabama Lullaby," a southern melody,
which was very pretty and went well

A train from, tbe east, hours late
because of a blizzard, was pulling
into Chicago.      <,-
A solder boy, a,, sergeant, service
bat pulled despondently down
over bia eyes, sat and stared unthinkingly out of the window jnto the
fierce blasts of snow. His se&tm&te
struck up a conversation with him,
after  several    overtures   Bad   failed.
"Gee, but tbis storm sure is getting
me in bad!" said tbe boy* "I'm
thirteen . hours over my leave now.
Me for tbe booegow, for sure!"
The passenger lieteDed to the story
and tben requested tbe soldier to let
bim take his pass a minute. Tbe passenger went up to the otber end of the
car and sat down with another man.
Soon he beckoned to tbe sergeant.
- Wben tbe lad got to tbe otber end
of tbe car and saw two stars on either
shoulder of the man the passenger
bad consulted be saluted.
"Sergeant," said the ofilcer, "I've
explained on the back of tbis pass
that the same storm that delayed you
also held me back. In esse they don't
believe tbis is my signature, here's
my card.    Give them both."
The soldier walked back to his seat.
Tben he looked at the card. It said:
"Major General Leonard Wood. Commander, Central Department."
"Can yuh beat it?" mused the
doughboy, as he started out tbe
window once more, but this time
witb a wide grin.
Fate And Lincoln.
Nearly, a century and a half ago a
father working in bis field in & Kentucky clearing was shot and killed by
Indians. His -tbree sons were with
bim. Tbe oldest ran to the house
and reached it unharmed. Tne next
in age ran in another direction for
the nearest settlement. The youngest, a boy. of six, was seized by one
of tbe attackers.
When the oldest boy looked out.
after barring the door, he saw his
brother in the grasp of ah Indian He
took down tbe family musket, aimed
through an opening and shot the Indian dead. The boy, released, made
bis way to tbe house. In a few boars
a rescuing party from the settlement
drove the raiders away.   .
Tbe six-year-old boy was Thomas
Lipcoln. - He became the father of
Abraham Lincoln.
Thirty-two yeara later two boys,
chums, were strolling along Knob
creek, Hardin county, Kentucky.
The younger, only seven years old,
attempted to swing himself over che
creek on a sycamore tree. Midway
he lost his hold aud fell in. The
other rescued him. The rescuer's
name was Gallagher, and but few
men have been privileged to perform
equal service for tbeir country.
The boy be rescued waa Abraham
Lincoln. ■   V . .

America might be saved. It was

In  the   Saturday   Evening : Post- of
last week Gov. Allen o.f Kansas   telle
bow that state ended the coal   strike „
there last winter and of the   methods
taken by that state to deal   with  such
matters In the future.    In connection
with this, he speaks of   tbe   program
npon which the state is now   working -'
to help solve the problem of absentee
landlordism. ,   He    states    tbat    the
matter haa grown   till  more   than  45 -
per cent of all  the soil m ths»etate   is
tllleoh-by  renters.     This   he   sayg-ia>	
lower than many other,- states. .. In •
some of the best farm districts of
Illinois, Iowa. Ohio aud Indiana thia *
percentage runs as high as 65.. There I
is serious danger, he declares to aL
land whose tillable soil ia owned by j
speculators and cultivated by1
renters.
Recognizing  this   fact,    in   tbe   old *
Roman commonwealth every   soldier ,
must be a landowner.     Tbe   strength ".
which   enabled   France   to   meet    fhe
great struggle through wbich she has ~
passed was in the land-owning   class.
More than 60 per cent of   the  French
soldiers owned land   snd   red   socialism could gain no headway.
Tbe percentage of tenantry is growing rapidly in the central agricultural *'
states.     An   average of    more    than
440,000   tenant   farmers  is   added   at ;
every Federal census.   Census figures \
show tbat the average  investment  in
farm buildings  and   farm   machinery ':
on  rented  farms   is   $735,   while    on
those   operated by owners is 2168.    In 1
Iowa tbe farm machinery depreciated ;
$35,000,000 from 1910 to   1915   notwith- •
standing   the  increased   cost  of    im- -

Some nations have made much pro-
gress     with    this    problem.       New
Zealand under  government aid   purchased   1,490,000  acres,   held   by    264
persons and   distributed    it    among
5529.     Denmark,   once  owned   by   75 :
men, through a process   of state   aid .,
distribution, now   haB   more  than   90 ^
percent of the farmers   owning   their '
farms   and   dairies.     It   is   the * only
countryin the world wbere   the   farm
population ia increasing. -  Canada   is
undertaking a  valuable   extension   of
her land   program   by   giving   to   the
soldiers of the late  war  160   acres   of
land free and loaning tbem $2,500 with
which to start farming operations.
The problem   of  unemployment   in
tbe   city*and    of    tenantry    in    the
country are fundamentally the   same.
From the days when Pericles   settled
his people oa conquered   territory   to
