ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

NINETT-FOUR YEARS AGO yester-
~ day a boy was born in a humble
cabin on a farm in Hardin county, Ken
lucky. Everything seemed to be
against that boy. His parents were
without education, without refinement,
without money; the country was
rough, school houses were few and wide
ly scattered. So the boy was raised to
work, hard work that calloused his
hands and would have calloused his
mind had it been less sturdy. By the
light of a wood fire, when the long
days toll was over, the boy educated
himself.
Yesterday nation honored the an
niversary OF this boys birthday. While
the republic stands his name will be
honored, the story of his battles and
his victories, his services to his fellow
men will be told and told again. The
very mention of the name of Abraham
Lincoln must cause every American
heart to beat with pride in a country
that could produce such a man under
such circumstances. 1t is not necessary
at this time to speak Of Lincoln's life.
Sufficient is it to say that his career
must ever be a source of inspiration to
struggling youth everywhere. No
great American ever encountered the
difficulties successfully surmounted by
Abraham Lincoln. He was literally a
man in million, for hardly one in a
million, situated as he was, would have
held so resolutely to a desire for self
improvement as did he. 1t has been
said that great crises produce great
men.
The life of Lincoln goes to prove the
theory. His career. from railsplitter
andN farmland to chief magistrate Of
the nation in its most critical hour, was
all a preparation for the honors he was
TO so deservedly wear. Lincoln's BIZ
ographers do not write him down a bril-
liant man; that is, brilliant in the
snowy sense. He had to work hard for
all he got, whether the labor was ply
steal or mental. but when once he knew
a thing it never left him.
In that fact, too, lies inspiration for
the youth. The boy who finds it hard
to learn need not despair with the ex-
ample of Lincoln before him. Every
boy cannot rise to Lincoln's height,
either. but all can safely make this
man their model, for he was pre-em-
inently the brave, fearless, Christian
statesman and patriot in public as in
private life.

LESSONS ON THE FIRE,

THE FIRE in the Atlas block, which
1 consumed not far from 100000
worth Of property, was an expensive
lesson, but it will not be in vain if it
teaches Salt L4akers the necessity for
better building construction. To many
people unaccustomed to Salt Lake
methods, it will seem almost beyond
belief that an office structure, situated
almost in the heart of the business dis
trict, could be completely destroyed in
the short space Of time required to con-
sumo the Atlas block.
Here was a four-story and basement
building. filled with offices containing
valuable books, furniture, important
papers and other articles. A fire was
discovered in it about 2:30 o'clock in
the morning and an hour later all hope
of saving II had been abandoned, while
the firemen turned their attention to
preventing the destruction of adjoining
buildings. The rapidity with which the
Atlas block burned is sufficient to cause
deep thankfulness for the fact that the
fire did not occur in business hours,
when the building was full Of people.
II it had broken out in the middle of
the afternoon. for instance, no power
could have prevented an appalling loss
of life. So we have that much to be
thankful for. at least. It has been said
that the fire department is deserving of
censure. The Herald is doubtful on
that point. The few men composing
the department worked as valiantly as
men could work. It is possible that
unnecessary delays in starting work oc-
CURED, and If that is true there can be
little excuse for them.
But it should be remembered, and we
believe the fact is generally admitted.
that al the fire departments in the
United States could not have saved the
Atlas block. That is the point The
Herald desires to drive home now. The
building burned like a great box of
matches. Its interior construction was
so fiimsy that the flames found 7rac-
ticaIly no obstacle to their progress.
They leaped from floor to floor with a
rapidity that would have been impos-
sible in a well-constructed building.
There are other structures in Salt
Lake that are veritable firetraps. The
Herald is not inclined TO pessimisn
but it cannot help voicing the fear that
the Atlas block example may be re-
peated more than once before we are
through with fiimsy construction. 1t

clude the possibility of their speedy de-
struction by fire.

WRAT a BEAUTIFUL world Ah,s
T" was yesterday In dazzAnr

as fair as fairness incarnated and as
pure as purity. The land seemed born
again.
Wash me and 1 shall be whittier than
snow" The lines from the old hymn
took on new meaning yesterday. Only
the morning before the valley was
scanned and rugged. Patches of white
stood out here and there against the
brown earth. gaunt trees swayed in
the breeze and desoluation was the
keynote of the picture. In few hours
all this was changed. There was a new
heaven and a new earth.
As the mantle of charity covers al
sin, so the mantle of snow covered
the baroness and the bleakness. The
clouds were brushed away from the
skies and the sun shone in undimmed
splendor upon the land. The air was
keen but it was full of exhiliration.
With your lungs filed with it you felt
that you could run and not be weary,
that you could labor and faint not
So much for the aesthetic side Now
for the practical. The weather OBJ
servers tell US that Wednesdays storm
was the heaviest, in point of snow
precipitation, that has visited Salt
Lake for years. The Oldest inhabitant
may remember many that were worse,
or better, as one cares to view it, but
the records of the weather bureau show
very few. The storm means that the
water problem Will not vex us in
1903.
There will be water and to spare for
all rational purposes. The lawns need
not turn yellow for lack of moisture,
the trees need not die, the streets need
not be dusty. In the hills many feet
of snow are stored against the dry
season to come. It has been banked
there by a generous nature to be
drawn on as the needs OF the people
demand. Even if the remainder of the

And that is another reason why the

when the snow shall have disappeared
from the lowlands and the green shall
have taken the place of the white.

PASS THE STATEHOOD BILL.

TT IS PLEASANT to note that the
Democratic members Of the senate
are standing as a unit in favor of ad-
hitting New Mexico, Arizona and Okla
homa to the. sisterhood of states. On
one pretext and another many of the
Republicans, led by the senator from
Indiana, Mr.. Beveridge. are standing
out against the statehood bill. They
have declared their intention of talk
ing the measure to death, but it is
not believed they will be successful.
An unbiased view Of the situation
cannot fail to lead minded observ-
ers to the belief that Oklahoma, Ari-
iona and New Mexico are entitled to
statehood. Statistics of their growth.
compiled from the census reports of
1890 and 1900 prove, more clearly than
any arguments, that the territ ries are
fully entitled to this recognition. We

In a speech in the senate the other
day Senator Teller Of Colorado said he
believed a fair and accurate census
would show a far greater population
in all the territories than is shown
by the figures for 1900. He did not
think the question of the possibility
of Mormon control in Arizona and New
Mexico, which had been injected into
the debate by the Republicans, had any
proper place in the discussion.
81 do not believe" he continued.
that there is any probability that the
few thousand Mormons down in Ari-
iona will dominate that state polite
ally, religiously, economically or in
any other way, or that they will adopt
any system of plural marriages or any
thing of that kind that would be Of
fensive TO the morals Of this country"
The Mormon question seems to be the
last peg on which the anti-statebood
senators are hanging their objections.
The argument is without foundation
and it should not carry any weight.

II Is probable that meeting of
