DESERT
There is one other advantage in the
Lincoln style of education. 1t at least
left his individuality unimpaired. He
was not put into hopper and ground
into the semblance of every other
young man that went through the
same mill. He remained as God made
him, not as some board of trustees
and professors tried to make him over.
He was not subjected to the deaden-
ing process of educational uniformity
If there is anything that has made
this Anglo-Saxon civilization worth
while it has been the work of those
who dared to protest and revolt, the
Independent, the revolutionist and the
nonconformist. We have stood up for
our individuality, the dearest gift of
God to man. Variety makes life bear
able. The whole movement of art, of
civilization, of progress, is away from
the stupidity regular, spiritlessly uni
form, deadeningly monotonous, that
would make all men on the same intel
iectual pattern. That all who go
through the average university hopper
do not have the divine spark quenched
is due to the fact that their God made

made molds in which they are placed.
If one may order a suit Of clothes to
fit his individual shape, why may he
not order an education also fitted to
his needs? Why is an embryo poet

same mental food? The elective sys-

great men, which is literally speaking
volumes. The only redeeming thing
about Weems is that he wrote of
Washington, and it was for this that
Lincoln appreciated him. l do not
know whether Washington could tell
a lie or not, but 1 do know that both
Weems and Sparks could and did.
Fortunately for Lincoln, most of his
biographers have been on speaking
terms with verify and did not seek to
elevate their hero into a demigod by
placing him on tall pedestal of eu-
iogistic lies. George Washington was
very much Of a man, and it will pay
the world to forget Weems and
Sparks and get acquainted with the
first president as he was.
Such an omnivorous reader was Lin
coin that he actually walked miles
to borrow grammar in order that
he might read that. He doubtless
would have read the Congressional
Record if he could have got it.
The only people who read the Con-
gressional Record nowadays are the
members whose speeches are printed
there. They never get a chance to
deliver the great bulk of these
speeches in congress, so the Record is
the only outlet for their pent-up elo-
quence. The government printing
Office thus becomes the legislative
safety valve. Still, that is hardly a
truthful figure of speech. as there is
no steam behind this oratory. AS for
gas, it never explodes without fire,
and there is not scintilla of fire in
these speeches. 1t is fortunate for
Lincoln and the world that the Record

Principal Speech.

The principal speech of the day,
however, will be made by President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Miner has read this
speech as it has already been prepar-
ed, and he says it is a masterpiece
and the best speech that President
Roosevelt has ever prepared. The ac-
ton taken by the committee in decid-
ing to make dedication ceremonies in
May, when President-elect Taft will
be the principal speaker, the popular
demonstration, was not done to slight
President Roosevelt, but because the
Association does not feel that it has
any money to spend at this time on
large entertainments. The grounds
will be ready in February to receive
thousands of people in comfort The
roads have not been built and the
equipment is not sufficient to handle
as large crowd as is expected there
would be if popular demonstration
was made.

Mr.. Miner is delighted to know that
the Kentuckians have entered into the
celebration with so much spirit of
making it a large event. He says
that it will be the greatest adver-
tisement Kentucky has had in years,
for there will not be a day from now
until after the dedication in May
when the newspapers throughout
America will not have something
about Kentucky being the birthplace
of Lincoln,
An immense hall will be erected on
the grounds and the original cabin

Furniture, records and other things
that were owned by Lincoln will be
put into this hall and it will be a
place that thousands of Americans
will visit in years to come. The As

Miner.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 2O.-De-
tails of the program for the open
ing of the Lincoln Farm Park by the
Lincoln Farm Association, in Larue
county, would have been discussed
yesterday by Governor Wilson and
Chas. Z. Miner. of New York, repre-
sentative of Robert j. Collier, the
spirit of the association, if it had not
been that Governor Wilson was abb
sent in Washington.
Under the circumstances Mr.. Min
er went to Louisville and will
take from storage there the original
Lincoln cabin in which the martyred
President was born, and have it sent
to the farm. This cabin is in splen-
did state of preservation, is the in
formation received by Mr.. Miner. 1t
is numbered In parts so that there
will be no difficulty in rebuilding it as
it originally stood After completing
that work. Mr.. Miner will return to
this city to have a conference with
Governor Wilson Wednesday or
Thursday when the details of the eel
ebration February II, will be dis
cussed and in all probability COM
pleted.

President Roosevelt, Secretary of
War Wright, Gen. James Wilson,
