From Humble origin TO the High
est Station in the Land


In 1916, the Lincoln family moved
to Spencer County, Ind, and in 1880
TO Decatur, III. On this last occasion
he walked the entire distance Of two
hundred miles through mud and
water, driving a four-ox team. He
said this journey took him fifteen
days On his arrival, he helped his
father build a log cabin and he split
the rails tofencein the ten acre farm.
At twenty-five, Lincoln stood six
feet, three and one-half inches, bare
foot. He was in perfect health, and
It is said that he could out run, out
jump, out wrestle and, II necessary,
out fight anyone Of his age in the
country. He had a grip like Her.
cules without this strength he
could never have endured the strain
put on him by his country IN later
years.
Lincoln learned to read from
spelling book and the Bible, and
later, he read "Pilgrims Progress, 3"
and it is said that he stayed up half
the night reading with the aid of
light from the FIRE place fed by the
logs he had split.
He WIS born in Hardin County,
KY, in 1909, and his early life was
one Of poverty and toll.
Another interesting fact about
Abraham Lincoln is that he develop.
ed into great military man that
is to say, man of supreme military
Judgment. 1 do not risk anything
in saying that il one will study the
records Of the war and study the
writings relating to 1t, he will agree
with mo that the greatest general
we had, greater than Grant or
Thomas, was Abraham Lincoln. Il
was not 80 at the beginning but
after three or four years of constant
practice in the science and art of
war, he arrived at this extraordinary
knowledge of il, 30 that Won Moltke
was not better general, or an abler
planner or expounder of campaign,
than was President Lincoln. To
sum it up he was born leader of
men.
In 1884, Lincoln resolved to begin
the study OF law. A friend in
Springfield promised to lend him
some books. He walked there,
which was a distance of twenty-five
miles from New Salem, where he
then lived, and it is said, brought
back with him, four heavy volumes
Blackstone at the end of the same
day. A few years later he opened a
law Office in Springfield.

woMBNs CAUSE ADvANors
It has Grown to Large Proportions
in the Last fifty years


The first organisation Of women
in the United States was that formed
by woman suffraglsts. The first
college graduates, the first women
speakers. the first petitioners to
legislatures for better law for wo-
men, we're woman suffragists.
When Ernestine L. Rose, in 1885,
wished to petition the New York
legislature to give married women
the right TO control their own proper.
~, she could find in the whole state
but ilve women to join with her.
A half century has rolled by and
the results Of this movement are SO
complete, thatmanya woman grasps
the privileges and liberties Of today
without the slightest thought that
other women bore the brunt of a
cruel worlds bitterest condemna-
ton, that she might possess them.
She takes her college degree, forget
full that when this movement began
the world honestly believed that
women did not possess physical
health or mental strength sufficient
to master q college course. She
freely speaks in public, forgetful
that other women were mobbed and
rotten egged" before the public
would tolerate such liberty. She
enters business and professions col
lects her wages, manages fortunes,
buys and sells, forgetful that none
Of these privileges would be hers,
had not other women plead her
cause. She attends her club, for
getful that the first organizations
we're compelled TO live down the
public conviction, that organized
women only sought "notoriety by
making themselves conspicuous be.
fore men. "
Happily the old common law has
been largely replaced by rational
statutes and few of the old humili-
ating and oppressive conditions
remain thanks to the courage, the
persistency, and the logic of that
band of early woman suffragists,
most of whom have passed on to
their reward - Carrie Chapman

THE SHOVEL ON THE WALK

What Joy come winter morning,

When chilly drafts inform rue

What JOY it is to lis ten
To my neighbor's cheerful talk
And the merry, merry clatter
OF the shovel on the walk.

And sleep at once becomes

And make all kinds Of wishes
That relate to sleeping more.

But I'm much Inclined to balk
When ] hear the merry clatter
OF the shovel on the walk.
Give me the good old summer,
When the snow is at the pole,
And don't have to shovel
Any ashes, snow or coal.
Let any man that wishes
Spend his morning pushing snow,
But not for me the labor
When the biting blizzal ds blow.
The stun about the pleasure
OF the work is dippy talk
And I don't like 20 hear the olatter

A Revelation which shames the
People Of this State and Dis
oradita the Governor

~AHAANN INV Ia|NHNAAANA
The Philadelphia Press last week
published a letter, which it endorsed
editorially after investigation as to
the facts, in which was set forth the
details Of an attempted deaf by which
Governor Pennypacker was to secure
a seat on the Supreme court bench.
The method was this. The governor
was to appoint Hon. Lyman d.
Gilbert to serve for one year and he
was to agree not to be candidate.
Then the governor would be nomi-
mated and elected and would be
succeeded as governor by Lieutenant
Governor Brown who would in re-
organizing his cabinet turn down
Attorney General Carson and appoint
Mr. Gilbert attorney general. To
this arrangement Mr.. Gilbert did not
accede hence the governor appointed
Samuel G. Thompoon, a democrat, to
the Supreme court bench knowing
that he would not be nominated by
the republicans which would leave
the way open for the convention to
nominate the governor for the place.
The attempted deal with Mr. Gill
bert having failed and now being
exposed Governor Pennypacker is
convicted Of indulging in a most
unseemly and undignified effort to
advance his ambition. The papers
throughout the state are condemning
his course and calling on him to
his quest for the seat. One
Of the Supreme court judges, Justice
J. Hay Brown who probably voices
the sentiments Of his associates, is
outspOken in condemnation of this
effort Of the governor to foist HIM
self in the coveted place. Whether
the governor is sufficiently sensitive
to abandon his desire, after the
general voice Of disapproval of his
methods, remains to be seen.

resolution which asks the president
TO inform the senate whether all
documents concerning the negotia-
ton of the Panama treaty have been
laid before the senate Senators
Cuilom, German, Lodge, Spooner
and Bacon engaged in the debate
The republicans contendsd that the
senate has no right to demand papers
from the president, and that he is
to be sole judge whether informa-
tion may be given to the senate.
The democrats contended it is the
high prerogative of the senate to
call for all OF any information on
file in the executive departments at
its pleasure, ard that the sole judge
whether the information shall be
forthcoming is the senate in all cases
where it has jurisdiction.
