Twenty-two years ago we en- ' ,' itered. complaint because the City of Highland Park was allowing épeople- to drain their ' sewage - through our property, endanger- ing health and causing a general nuisance. No notice appeared to be’taken of the ' matter and after waiting what seemed a, reasonable time. we gave notice that we should commence suit-unless the nuisance was abated. There was too much at stake- We were then asked to wait till the city could provide an increased water supply to flush the sewer pipes. This seemed reasonable. and we prom~ . . ,ised to wait a reasonable time. It "fivas decided to put sewer mains , down the principal ravines to thei lake. Some, perhaps all of the the citizens owning lands in the ravines granted the permission, ' we doubt if many ot them would have granted the priviledze had ' they known the extent to which . g - the unsightly manholes were going to mar the beauty of our ravines; ‘ But that was not the extentof the injury, 'perhaps not the worst of it- The disturbing of the soil caused a much more rapid erasion of the lands and a washing of the _soi-l to the. lake then had taken ' place before. ' hm ed M Sammy I! GW.W¢ Very many of the residents liv- ' ing on the ravines have had to er- ect expensive artificial protection “to save 'their land and preserve ‘ the natural beauty of the ravines, _ vhich all admit constituted one of the chief attraction; of Highland TELEPHm No.92 Entered It the Post-office, Highlsnd Park, Ill. as secnnd class nutter.

Unless thecity is willing to con- tinue the viaduct. or at least a cement open run to carrythe water to the lake. we Question the right to increase the natural flow over the lands of private property own- We grant a city must get rid of the water flow; but we do not un- demand that the city has a right to damage private property. at least without compensation to the property owner. Our city bca\utiful appears this. spring in the main quite tidy and neat as compared with one year ago. But'there are still some e'ye sores which qhouid be rgmoved, uvuv' The unsightly mammoth bill board should find no place to a city like Highland Park There ought to be one or more small. neat bill- boards where city no‘tiées could be pasted and such private notices as the city might author- ize. These notices should be for "lost," ”found," or other similar purposes. _All notices of a busi- ness nature if advertised at all should be advertised in ~the legiti- mate advertising mediums for business. Such boards as mention- ed might also ‘be used subiect to properapproval for cleemosynary purposes and perhaps to announce religious gatherings. As it no“) is, in spite of an or- dinance to the contrary it is no uncommon thing to see posters and handbills tacked to trees or any other availablc object, In the country this may bc'allowa- blc, but it should not be in the City. Frequently persons may be seen nailing handbills to trees, not on-. [V outside ; the walks but even go- ingv inside and nailing them t9 trees which had been set out for beautifying lawns. Only the oth er day a man walked into our frontlawn and nailed up a» bunch of handbills. They were immed- iately torn down, but there was the nail, and we had to go and get aclaw hammer to take it out- But even on private property the mammoth billboard within the city should be a thing of the past- 1 There is however a notion that there is no limit to a man’s rights on his own property. Not quite so fast, for even on private pro- perty there is a limit tbvwhat one may or. may not do. But the sense of propriety should be suffi- cient: in most cases. By nature Highland Park is capable of being made as beautiful a city as can be found in Illinois. It remains for the people to vie with nature in accomplishing the purpose: In their "campaign of educa- tion” the liquor interests have not hesitated to falsify history, By some means. a cOpy of The Christian. Herald found its way into the hands of a brewing com- pany at New‘Ulm. Minn. Now, we have no. brewing companies om our subscription list. and this part- ticular concern. having no doubt looked carefully thrOugh the pages: of The Christian Herald, returned; Still Lying About Lincoln ' Show WWW NW___________._ it to us with this endowment on the cover page- "Cannot use this _..- A_J__ Ian-v â€"v v ‘â€" in'our business.” We quite under- :stand how any brewing company would come to such a conclusion- There islnothing in, the pages of The:*'Ch»ristian Herald that would warrant them in concluding that the paper contained anything that to the brewing interests. At no time has this journal hesitated to tell the truth about that busineSs. and it will continue to do :0. Truth. of course, is the very last thing in the world that the brewer: desire to have printed: or which they can uuse in their business." Enclosed within the pages of the paper which was returned to us by this "Minnesota brewing company was a printed leaflet. headed "What Did Lincoln Say? Here Is What He Did Say." and which then proceeds to quote from the well-known address by Lincoln before the Washington Temper- ance Society, February 22. 1842. We have before us the full text of that address. and the brewers' ex- tract is part of a paragraph in which Mr. Lincoln was reviewing the drinking customs pf the past. and-had no relation to existing conditions in 1842 Its use in the brewers’ circular was a clear case of deliberate perversion. One need only glance at the address to understand how contemptible is the trick employed by the Brewers' Literary Syndicate to make Lin- coln appear as'an advocate and apologist of drinking. when all his‘ life he Was an enemy of the traffic in every form. He preached tem' perance and practised it; he never 1used liquor and would not have it in his home. When he was visit- ed by the committee appointed to notify ‘him of his nomination he surprised them by saying: "Gent'- lemen. we must pledge our mutual healths in the most healthy bev- erage God has given to man. _It is the only beverage I have ever used or allowed In my family. and I cannot conscientiously depart from it on the present occasion. It is pure Adam’s ale from the spring"- And he pledged them. in a cup of cold water. his guests following his example; There Is not in all of his writ- ings and speeches a single syllable that can be construed into even a? modified approval of the liquor traffic, although the brewers have tried to put lying words into his dead lips to help then cause. John G. Nicolay. his secretary and bi- lographer, who was closer to Linâ€" coln than any other man and who could;speak with authority. nailed some of those lies which were set afloat about Lincoln's views on temperanCe. There is a clear chain of indisputable evidence, access- ible to all who want the truth, to prove‘that Lincoln was _a total ab. stainer all his life: â€"-The Christian "Life is not only for work. It is far one’s self and for one’s friends. The degree of joy that a man 'finds in his work is due to two things: The intensity or full- ness of his vitality, and the con- genial character of the work itself. ‘When one is thoroughly well and vigorous. the mere joy of living, of merely being alive. is very great, At such a time the nature of the work does not matter to a large extent. The sense of having Lpower at your Command. and the delight of exerting it, even in coal shovelling or selling goods, is enoughf When one is full oflife. the mere feeling of fresh water or air on the skin, the taste of the plainest food. the exertion of mus- cular effort, the keenness of one' s Herald- The Joy Of Living. of yond these.
