EVER FULL OF LOCAL PRIDE.
Quality Which Made Lincoln Popular
and lovable.

Perhaps I.incoln's most winning
quality with young and old alike was
his sincere belief In his fellow towns.
men and their community. says Fred
edick Trevor Hill in the Century. Lo-
cal pride never had more buoyant
champion than he. For him Sanga-
mon county in general. and New Sa-
lem in particular. was the promised
land, and he was confident that tho
people were equal to the task OF de-
welcoming II according to its needs.
Thus when II was first suggested that
the shallow. snag-bound Sangamon
river was navigable and might be
made a great highway OF commerce.
he eagerly championed the theory and
worked with voice. pen and hand TO
realize a practical result. The Sanga-
mon Is still unnavigable and New Sa-
lem has disappeared. but Lincoln's
plea for improving the waterway re-
mains as evidence of his sincere be-
lief In the future OF the community
and to show us what he could do with
n weak cause at the age OF %.
The argument is not remarkable.
but It is exceedingly interesting and
suggestive. Although he was young
and boyishly enthusiastic, Lincoln did
not overstate the possibilities nor un-
dercstimate the difliculties Of his case.
and despite the really laughable at
tempt which was afterward made to
force the passage Of the Sangamon.
there was nothing ludicrous In his
pIea. What he claimed sounds reason
able. and what he hoped for possible.
even In the face Of failure.
