No man ever believed IN his calling
more thoroughly than Lincoln, and he
had no patience with the much mouth
ed charge that honesty was not COM
patlble with its practice.
LET no young man choosing the law
for a calling yield to that popular be-

cannot be an honest lawyer. resolve to

Choose some other occupation rather

do. In advance, consent TO be a knave"

It saves the state from paying S1,225
every year TO outsiders.
Il puts into use the S22,O35 of aban-

1t enables the state to make good
use of its little balance (S12,965) in
the sinking fund.
It enables the state to pay its debt
the moment it is due.
Il gives the school fund, an addition
al S1,322.10 each year.
(The payment of interest by the
state, of course, is now 1892 instead
.of S1,225. but the interest, instead of
being paid to outside capitalists is
paid to itself, or its public schools)

state treasury on July z. 1899, and has
remained uninvestcd and unproductive
since that time:
"And whereas, It is desired that the

of the school fund should be invested
so that the same shall draw interest;
