GOODNESS BETWEEN
KNOX AND CULLOM

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11.-There is
a GOODNESS between Senators Knox and
Cullom. ordinarily two OF the most ge-
nial OF statesmen and farthest remov-
ed from personal feelings. Senator
Cullom is aggrieved.
1t appears that Mr. Cullom, as the
senator from Illinois and the only man
left in congress when Lincoln was
president. was especially anxious TO
be the author OF measure which
should make the birthday OF Lincoln
a national holiday. He wanted II pass
ed before Feb. u, the centennial an
niversary. and ii was going swim
mingly in that direction when Sena-
tor Knox got interested in il.

persons have for decades wanted the
government to build a great national
boulevard from Washington TO Gettys-
burg. This year II was esteemed espe-
cially proper TO press the matter be-
cause OF the Lincoln anniversary. So
Senator Knox hitched the Gettysburg
highway proposal on TO the Cullom ma
tional holiday measure, and this, re-
curing lot OF investigation and esti-
mates and reports and consideration,
sidetracked the whole measure and
has probably made any action at all
impossible before Feb. IL.
