his story telling, and loved to mingle
IN a crowd OF men Of all walks, even
the cOmmonest clodhoppers, proves
his real greatness.
That he belonged 10 no church, and

The character Of Lincoln Is not
summed up in his success as a public

even as great statesman, but in his
being a man who sympathized with all
men, and especially those who were Of
poor and humble origin like himself
and he never forgot them.

STATE AND NATIONAL AID NEG.
ESSARV

Those who would haston tho coming
Of the day when the roads OF this
country shall be we'll graded and
macadamized. should put forth every
effort, at this time, TO int rest state
and national appropriation for the i'm.
provement OF the roads.
Why should the farmer expect the
automobilist the bicycilist and the
teamster to pay for the improved
roads which skirt his property? Why
should the automobilist. the bicycllst
and tho teamster expect the farmer
10 build roads for their especial bene
ht?
There are sound reasons why each
should help the other, but II the road
movement is to wait until those sound
reasons become convincing with
either class, the close OF the present
century will find the roads Of this
country far from being improved.
Rapid Improvement OF the road will
truly take place when the cost Of the
improvement is paid out OF a general
fund, be that general fund state or
national All are benefited by good
roads, all should contribute to their
coming
state and national aid Is a step In
the right direction but the real pro.
gress will only be made when the
work is projected, constructed and
paid for either In whole or part by
state or nation, or both. Then will
the poverty OF locality, the opposition
