With fixed and hectic red

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.


1t is we'll for the nation, it is
we'll for the individual citizen, to
stop for little while on season.
able occasions, in the fierce rush
of the nations progress, and give
thought to men and events Of
the past-the men and events
that at once form the corner
stone of the government very
foundation, and the keystone of
the country's arch of success.
Such seasonable occasion pre-.
sents itself when the rolling
years bring the anniversary of
the natal day of such a man as
Abraham Lincoln man whose
work should be the greatest pos
sible incentive, not only to the
youth of the land to fight life's
battle valiantly, but to all men
and women to so live and act
that the nations history may be
in full accord with the lofty aims,
the magnificent achievements OF
the dominant spirits of the
times.
Where, in all the broad range
of human knowledge of human
activities, is it possible to find a
more eloquent sermon than that
preached by the entire life of
Abraham Lincoln, beginning
almost at tht very date of his
birth, February II, 1909, and
closing, not with the date of his
death from the assassid's bullet,
but only at that remote time in
the future, when the trumpet of
time shall sound the call at which
"the Heavens shall roll back as
a scroll" and Gods chosen shall
come into their inheritance of e.
ternity; for the spirit of Abraham
Lincoln still lives in the land,
and reverence for his memory will
keep that spirit alive as long as
American independence and love
of humanity, are twin jewellers
in the heart of man.
There is inspiration to be
drawn from every word ever ut
tered by. Abraham Lincoln; there
is grand example in his every
public act. The lesson taught
by his wondrous deeds have done,
and are doing, more for the
worlds advancement than all the
lessons in all the books in the
world, except it be the Bible. In
the hearts and minds of the Am.
erican people, Abraham Lincoln
is held second only to George
Washington, and yet there are
thousands of people, -people-whe
read, and who think they keer
in touch with the times, and vel
informed on events-who allow
the rush spirit of the age, what
is commonly called the spirit Of

commerce alism-self-service and
the struggle for dominance over
their fellow man-to lead them
to accept Abraham Lincoln and
his glory on tradition, without
really knowing the things they
should know about him, nor ac-
cording him that praise from
their heart of hearts, that is his
need.
When still a boy, his inclina-
tions following his thoughts far
afield, he seized the first oppor-
tunity to see little beyond the
rugged and barren hills of Spen-
Ger county, Indiana, and this OPP
portunity came in an offer to
.work for his keep on a flatboat
drifting to New Orleans. That
was his first step, and he never
retraced it; from that day his
face was ever to the front, and
he was ever climbing.
Entirely self-taught, he went
IRON the environments of a COM
mon laborer to that Of country
school. He studied law under
the most adverse circumstances,
and when yet young man, be-
came eminent in a small way at
the bar in Illinois, a member of
the Legislature, and prominent
locally in politics. Then came
the crisis in the nations career
the days when humanity must
trample on the curse of slavery
or slavery would throttle the
nation. 1t was as if heaven had
ordained this man from the very
beginning of time for the great
work this crisis brought. Abra-
ham Lincoln, from his birth in
the backwoods of Kentucky, from
his hard and humble boyhood
amid the barren hills of Indiana,
from the almost obscure sur
roundings as country lawyer in
Illinois, was called to take the
helm of the ship OF state at a
time when storms were raging,
such as no nation had ever be-
fore encountered. And won
drous captain he proved himself;
!. how wondrous is written in the
history of the nation, in the an.
nails of the world. He became
President of the United States
on the 4th. of March, 1861, ant
almost at the same instant the
nation was plunged into the
tiercest and bloodiest war of mod.
ern times.
Through the entire period OF
this war between the States, Alb
raham Lincoln held the post OF
the nations Chief with never a
, finch, and never a thought oil
self, never wish for anything
but the salvation of the country,
and honorable peace for all the
people. In 1868 he issued his
emancipation proclamation, put
ting an end to slavery in this re.
public forever. In 1865, the wal
, still raging, he was inaugurated
president a second time. Shortly
afterwards came the browning oil
, his life work, the restoration Of
, peace, and his martyrdom at the
hand of the assassin, John Wilke:
Booth. Through all this won
derful career, and in all his splen
did work, Abraham Lincoln wa;
not only great man; he was F.;
. good man. Well it is that we
should stop, in the rush of cur
: rent events, on the anniversary
] of his birth and pay tribute t.
4 his memory.

WANT TORPEDO FLOTlLLA
TO VISIT LOS ANGELES
Fleet Expected to Arrive in San Diego

President Stewart of the Los An

ten to Lieutenant Commander H. l.
Cone, commandant of the second df-
vision of the fleet or torpedo fiotilla,
U. S. S. Whipple at San Diego. So
far all efforts to get in communication
with the flotilla have been unsuccess-
full, since the vessels had not arrived
at San Diego yesterday afternoon.
President Stewart of the Los An
geles chamber of commerce and Presi-
dent John T. Gaffey of the San Pedro
chamber of commerce, both received
word from Senator Flint at Washing
ton, d. c., that the arrangement of the
itinerary is in the hands of Lieutenant
Commander Cone.
"Tbe members of the crews and the
officers of this torpedo boat fiotilla
should receive the same treatment and
entertainment which was accorded the
fleet of larger vessels" said Secretary
Frank Virgins of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce yesterday. This
f1otilla is a part of the big fleet and
should be received the same as that
was received"
Any number of sailors who had been
left behind by the fleet reported yes

the state at large and of San Diego in
particular, although we are In revolt
down there and have given the ma

jolts. In fact l believe the people are
becoming aroused all over the state
and nation, and the fact that this ques-
ton of primary elections is being
widely studied and carried into legisla-
tive deliberations in all parts of the
land Is one of the most hopeful signs
Of the times. There are a great many
yet who are not awake to existing
political conditions and abuses.
Leadership Essential
"Of course political organization and
political leadership is essential to
political work of any kind; but so long
as we make a pretense of a government
Of the people, for the people and by
the people, let such organizations and
such leaderships be the intelligent

essential There is need of an official
head to this great nation, but it makes
all the difference in the world whether
he is a president chosen under the re E
quirements of the constitution or a
usurping dictator riding roughshod
tional government.
"I believe in the radical reform of
our primary election laws and l pre-
sumo it is not necessary to argue be-
fore this body for what is known as
the direct primary, the nomination by
direct vote at the primaries of candi-
dates for office without the intervention

number of states. and while it is yet in
the experimental stage it is demon

session were not falling over each
other to railroad the measure through.

virtue with the voting facilities we al

MINIATURE RAILROAD

Thompson Company Shows Exact Re-

Clever Mechanical Teddy Bear
That Shakes Hands

The A. S. Thompson company, which
soon will be incorporated and now is
located at 512 South Broadway, where
the firm represents a number of east
ern manufacturers and has in stock a
large sample line of dolls imported
and domestic, has among other things
a large table containing what perhaps
is the only complete miniature railroad
system in the country. The display is
of an educative character, and in the
system are included bridges, tunnels,
stations, turntables. water tanks,
switches, telegraph lines, etc, all in
exact reproduction of a modern rail-
road system.
Besides the railroad there is also on
exhibition real Teddy" which shakes
hands with visitors. The latter are
much surprised when its eyes suddenly
sparkle with a real "dee-light," an
effect which has been ingeniously pro-
duced by the use of little electric in
candescents behind the glass orbs
