It suggests the country's response to Lincoln, memorialized for all time in the sentence "We are coming, Father Abraham, One Hundred Thousand Strong," and it ought to have an equally enthusiastic acceptance now.

According to naval officers in the local yard, search of the raiders cannot be made without international complications arising therefrom, unless the government actually seizes the ships, "and that, in itself, would be a declaration of war." Frank Garba-rino, special agent of the department of justice, in charge of the investigation, however, intimated that he did not hold this view.

The status of the government's case against those arrested Saturday and held for trial in the federal courts on the charge of smuggling certain goods including, valuable chronometers, from the interned ships, in violation of the customs laws, remains unchanged, so far as facts which the authorities here have officially permitted to become public. Henry Rohner, president of the Henry Rohner company, wholesale grocers of this city, one of the three principals in the alleged customs frauds, asserted his innocence today.

He admitted two of his chauffeurs, under arrest as witnesses, had hauled certain articles to and from the ships for Mrs. Helena Fischer, wife of Adel-bert K. Fischer, president of the ger ones. Recently Mr. Wright went before several novelty men and displayed his an insult to regard at one time, the army as a service unbecoming a man.

Thanks be, that perversion of public opinion has been cured. The army, military service, not from the viewpoint of the ogre or the brute, but from the viewpoint of the trained man. the physical culturist, the patriot, has become a highly respectable and highly patriotic service, which, in the Election is Quiet This election has been one of the quietest Wellington has seen for many whistle.

The mere increase is greater than the census gross value of farm, production in 1889, and is nearly as large as the census crop value in 1899.

The increase of 1916 over 1914 was $3,554,000,000. The gross value of farni production is the totalof crops and animal products, and takes no account of the use of a product as a material for other production; nor are any costs of production subtracted. Consequently, the value of gross production should be regarded as an index number, and not as so many net dollars put into the farmer's pocket. Four crops have each exceeded a billion dollars in value at the farm in 1916. The estimate for corn is cotton lint, based on gross weight cotton crop, including lint and seed, hay, tame and wild, wheat $1,026,000,000.
