The Colorado senate has killed the
Laton bill by vote of 25 to 6. There
is great need for Legislation placing re-

the provisions of this bin were alto.
gether too sweeping and would have
done great injury to the press of the

LINCOLN "', Al. ''''''''st "'s ''s'"-
RvGHT-wHy HE WAS OUR GREATEST STATESMAN


ENLARGED upon them. In deed, 1t was
not until perhaps twenty-five years
ago that the matter was taken up
seriously and an investigation be-
gun. This has been going on at in
tervals ever since, until l venture to
say that few persons born In a pio-
neer community, as Lincoln was, and
as early as 1909, have their lineage
on both sides as clearly established
as that of Abraham lincoln. It takes,
indeed. a most amazing credulity for
any one to believe the stories / have
alluded TO after having looked at
the records of his family. Lincoln
himself. backed by the record in the
Lincoln family Bible, is the first au-
thority for the time and place of his
birth. as we'll as the name of his
father and mother. The father,
Thomas Lincoln, far from being a
poor white" was the son of pros
porous Kentucky pioneer, man OF
honorable and well-established line
age who had come from Virginia as
friend of Daniel Boone, and had
there bought large tracts of land and
begun to grow up with the country,
where he was killed by the Indians
He left a large family. BY the law
of Kentucky the estate went mainly
TO the oldest son, and the youngest
Thomas Lincoln, was left to shift for
himself. This youngest son grew to
manhood. and on June 10, 1906, was
at Beechland, Kentucky, to
n young woman of a family wei,
known in the vicinity, Nancy Hanks.
There Is no doubt whatever about
the time and the place of their mar
riage. All the legal documents re-
quired in Kentucky at that period
for marriage are In existence. Not
only have we the bond and the cer-
tifcate, but the marriage Is duly en-
tered In list of marriage returns

known early Methodist ministers OF

Bardstown, Kentucky. This will
shows that at the time of his death
Joseph Hanks had eight living chill
dren, to whom he bequeathed prop
erty. The youngest of these was
my daughter Nancy as the will
puts It.
Mrs. Hitchcock's first query on
reading this will, was 'Can It be
that this little girl--she was but nine
years old when her father died-is
the Nancy Hanks who sixteen years
later became the mother of Abraham
Lineoln?" She determined to find
out. She learned from relations and
friends of the family Of Joseph Hanks
still living that, soon after her ia
theirs death, Nancy went to live with
an uncle, Richard Berry, who, the
records showed, had come from Vir-
ginia to Kentucky at the same time
that Joseph Hanks came. A little
further research, and Mrs. Hitchcock
found that there had been brought

Trustworthy man, prominent citizen
OF Louisville, died only few years
ago.
But while these documents dispose
eiIeotually OF the question OF the par
entage of Lincoln. they do not, of
course clear up the shadow which
hangs over the parentage of his
mother Is there anything TO show
that Nancy Hanks herself was oftas
clear and clean lineage as her hus-
handg There had been nothing what
ever until few years ago, through
the efforts OF Mrs. Caroline Hanks

had In preparation the genealogy OF
the Hanks family In America, a little
volume was published. showing what

stance, there has been large differ

who fathered Abraham, who he was
and whore he came from. One story
calls him Enloe, another Calhoun.
another Hardin and several different
states claim him. Only Ave years
ago a book was published In North
Carolina to prove that Lincolns

to light through the efforts of friends
of Abraham Lincoln all the docu-
ments to show that in 1906 Nancy
Hanks and Thomas Lincoln were
married at Beechland, Kentucky.
Now. one of these documents was a
marriage bond IL was signed by
Richard Berry the uncle OF the little
girl recognized in the will OF Joseph
Hanks. Here, then, was the chain
complete. The marriage bond and
marriage returns not only showed
that Nancy Hanks and Thomas Lin
coin were married regularly three
years before the birth of Abraham
Lincoln, thus setting forever at rest
the story of Lincolns illegltimacy,
but they showed that this Nancy
Hanks was the one named in the Will.
The suspicion In regard to the origin
OF Llncoln's mother was removed by
this discovery of the will. for the rec
ognition OF any one as his child by
a man in his will is considered by the
law as sufficient proof of paternity.
Now what sort of people We're
