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

and LoVabe.
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 it 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-
lief in the future of the community
and to show us what he could do with
9 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 I'M
derestimate the difficulties 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.
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 1t does more than
hat. 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 a rare legal quality.
It requires not only ability. but cour-
age; not only tact. but character. 1t
is one of the infallible tests which
distinguish the legal bravo from the

Irritation in China.

The question of modern irrigation
is one of the greatest Importance to
North China and one which the Chin
csc government appears never to
have considered. Year after year the
crops fail from lack of rain, immense
tracts of country are laid waste, the
people suffer and become restless.
There is ample water to irrigate the
greater part of this territory, but to
do so requires large capital and a
wait of two or three years for returns.
The returns however, would be great
and the security ample for any foreign
capital China might wish to borrow for
this purpose.

Oliver Wendell Holmes said that
one man is always three men, the
man as he sees himself, the man as
others see him, and the man as God
ices him.
We know how Abraham Lincoln
saw himself. Lincoln's estimate of
Lincoln was very modest, humble
and moderate one.
We know how other people now
see Abraham Lincoln in the light OF
the translations of his actions by re-
suits and by time.
We can reverently believe that
Abraham Lincoln as God saw him
brought neither reproach nor contra
diction, to say the least, to the con-
ception of him by the people of the
earth, when they came to understand
him in the light of the events to
which he will ever be sublimely relat-
ed. in human estimate.
While his is a fame and a service
this republic for manifest reasons,
mainly remembers and observes, all
nations of the world write him among
the immortals, and the ascent of every
one of them to better things is SYM
pathetically assisted by the force and
the fragrance of his career here.
He is gradually becoming idealized
That is not to be regretted. His ideal
ization is only that revelation Of him
from the skies to men, as God saw
him when the heavens received him
out Of our sight.

our people make his birthday holi.

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

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 soil
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. IL,
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 pioneer-not
indeed, like his ancestors, leader into
new woods and unexplored fields, but
pioneer of a 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. savage Of civilization.

into the city Of Louisville where the
Fair will be held during the week OF
