PRESIDENTIAL PREDICTIONS.
Roosevelt viii Go Round the World
and Hunt Big Game.

The other day Golfers Weekly
made prophecy in regard 10 the fu.
ture of the President. It said that he
would probably enlarge the scope OF
his hunting expeditions and possibly
go to India TO get a shot at tiger or a
lion, 1t predicted that all the luck
would be on his side and that tiger
skin would. eventually grace his col
lection.
The Leadyille Herald Democrat has
already gone on record in the matter
of predicting what the President will
do when he retires rto;u the White
House. II is somewhat in line with
Golfers. We are quite certain. says
the Herald Democrat, without having
any definite information. that when
the President leaves the cares of pub
lie office he will make an extended
tour around the world That is the
only logical and natural thing for him
to do He is easily the foremost man
in the eye OF the world to-day. He is
peculiarly admired and praised by
every sovereign of Europe. He him.

want to see what there is TO be seen
on the planet. incidentally of course
he would go tiger hunting in India and
lion hunting in Africa, for we believe
that the trip will take him not only
along the regulation paths of tourist
travel, but into the hooks and crannies
of the globe where white men do no
often go on personally conducted
tours.
We guess this prediction is all right.

Quality Which Made Lincoln Popular

Perhaps Lincoln'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 a 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 the
people were equal to the task of de-
veloping 1t according to its needs
Thus when it 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-

ana despite the really laughable at
tempt which was afterward made to
force the passage of the Sangamon.
there was nothing ludicrous in his
plea. What he claimed sounds reason
able. and what he hoped for possible,
even in the face of failure.
This early effort plainly indicates
Lincoln's natural aptitude for logical
statement. But it does more than
that. 1t displays a trait which few
lawyers possess; for the ability to
present facts clearly. concisely and
effectively without taking undue ad-
vantage of them is rare legal quality
1t requires not only ability, but cour-
age; not only tact, but character. 1t
is one of the infallible tests whicn

We know how other people now

We can reverently believe that
Abraham Lincoln as God saw him

him in the light of the events to

That is not to be regretted His ideal

out of our sight.
We are glad our government and
our people make his birthday a holi-

to hold the observance of his birthday
to solemn ceremonies or within memo

the effect of holidays among free peo-

THE FoREFATHERs OF LINCOLN.
All Pioneers and Strain of Tragedy
Runs Through Their History.

Abraham Lincoln's forefathers were
pioneers-men who left their homes to
open up the wilderness and make the
way plain for others to follow them.
For one hundred and seventy years,
ever since the first American Lincoln
came from England to Massachusetts,
in 1888. they had been moving slowly
westward as new settlements were
made in the forest. They faced soli-
tude. privation and all the dangers and
hardships that beset men who take up
their homes where only beasts and
wild men have had homes before; but
they continued to press steadily for
ward, though they lost fortune and
sometimes even life itself in their
westward progress. Back in Penn
sylvania and New Jersey some of the
Lincolns had been men of wealth and
influence. In Kentucky, where the
future President was born. on Feb. -,
1909, his parents lived in deep poverty
Their home was a small log cabin of
the rudest kind, and nothing seemed
more unlikely than that their child,
coming into the world in such humble
surroundings, was destined to be the
greatest man of his time. True TO his
race. he also was to be a pioneer-not
indeed like his ancestors. leader into
new woods and unexplored fields. but
pioneer of nobler and grander sort,
directing the thoughts of men ever
toward the right, and leading the
American people, through difficulties
and dangers and a mighty war. to
peace and freedom.
The story of this wonderful man be-
gins and ends with tragedy, for his
grandfather. also named Abraham,
was killed by a shot from an Indians
rifle while peaceably at work with his
three sons on the edge of their from
tier clearing. Eighty-one years later
the President himself met death by
an assassin's bullet. The murderer of
one was a savage of the forest; the
murderer of the other that far more
cruel thing. a savage of civilization.
