Remember that there are hundreds of

Remember that their Wills are as deter

all, that unaided triumph over years OF
numberless difficulties and obstacles has
made them resourceful and instant in de-

How can you expect to win in contest
with this great horde Of physical and men

how you can better be trained and equipped
than by wildly studying Lincoln's life and

This Is a nation OF plain pe~ople-that is

to the fact that up to the present time we
are still near the soil and our strong men
come from the grass roots. While Lincoln's
life cannot be an inspiration to young men
unhappily born among the idle rich and the
so-called better classes OF our country, ex-
cept in a vague, dilettante and theoretical
way, his life is a perfect mold into which
the young men Of the plain people can
pour and run their forming characters and
become Lincolnesque. And that means to
become honorable. industrious and brave
practical idealists. the achievers OF visions,
the workers out Of dreams.
1 find that most young men who are be-
ginning to do things in literature, politics
or business first saw the light of day In

Real Truth and Real Men.
Some so-called truths disappear even as
they are uttered. just as some men are old
at the hour OF their birth. Such truths
and men are not the real truths and the
real men. The real truths are those that
are always youthful; the real men are
those who are as vital IN mind and in
spirit when their bodies approach the grave
as they were youthful in mind and spirit
when they first encountered the world. The
problem of life is youthfulness the search

advantage by the alchemy OF steady de-
termination and the elemental virtues. Lin
coin. too, like you. young man, had little
opportunity for education-far less. indeed,
that the poorest circumstanced Of any OF
you. and yet by sheer intelligence persis-
tently applied made his lack OF schooling
the foundation for a real and effective
learning. He, like you. young man. had
no chance to acquire that polish which is
supposed to come from the mlngling with
so-called cultured people. and yet he was
wise enough to see that this polish and Gull
ture 80 priced by those who do not go
deeply into human life weakens native
strength in more cases than II improves
conduct. Ingersoli said a great half truth
when he declared that colleges are places
where brickbats are polished and diamonds
are dimmed. That is not entirely true. of
course. The college Is not to be sneered at,
even by this great master of eioquence.
BY all means get a college training II you
can, but IL you have to choose between
having your energies tanned, your enthu-
siasms quenched and your s~elf-confidence
honeycombed with doubt on the one hand
and a college education on the other hand,
turn from the latter as you would from an
attractive but destroying drug. When a
man loses his enthusiasm he has begun to
die in soul.
Advice to Parents.
I say this word to parents and to all peo-
pie OF mature age: II you have a friend,
never let him lose his enthusiasms. even
though they make him appear bizarre, ex-
travagant and grotesque. Enthusiasms are
the fires that drive the engine of life; put
them out and your engine may be there, a
perfect machine, but motionless and with
out use-a thing of potential might, but.
after all, no more than assembled scrap
iron. 1 find that enthusiasms are the chill
dren of our faiths. Lincoln never lost his
because he never lost his faith in things.
He believed In things-believed in q great
many things, and they were all big things.
And he believed In them enough to work
for what he believed in. That Is one reason
why he rose high above being a mere poll
tician.
l once attended a national convention
where a new propaganda of sound eco
nomic reform was proposed-a program
that has now become accepted national
dogma. Yet when 1t was proposed It was,
of course. not popular. Nine-tenths of the
convention were mere politicians, there
only for the purpose of nominating this
man or defeating that one, of fixing up a
platform that would catch as many groups
of voters as possible. Nobody except the
little company of enthusiasts for the new
set of principles believed in anything at
all. The nominating speeches were tame,

consisted of but thirteen members, was
eight to five. The house passed the bill
by twenty-five to fourteen.
The act was entitled, "An act to provide
for the location OF the seat Of government
of the state of Nebraska and for the erec-
ton Of public buildings thereat." 1t speci-
fled that at once a university and aRricuI-
tural school combined should be provided
as well as a portion of a new capitol build
Ing and the state penitentiary, the latter
In a location adjoining the city. Money
for the public buildings had to be furnished
by the promoters and this Is the reason
Mr.. watkins says Lincoln was financed
by Otoe county"
Augustus +. Harvey, a strong and bitter
democrat member of the legislature, was
the surveyor who laid out Lincoln. All the
Otoe members were of his type, unhesi-
tating in denunciation OF anything repub-
lican or of any man, republican, but
shrewd financlers.
The Washington county representatives
who deserted to the removalists were Mem
bers Unthank and Slater. Senator Davis
was the third Washington county member.
Besides Senator Patrick the other MEM
Der from Douglas county was Isaac s.
Hascall. Senator Patrick gained national
prominence in the fight to secure the Ore
gon elector for Tilden. and he was a strong
partisan. Knowing the minds of the Otoe
democrats as he did he thought the sug-
gestion of the name Lincoln would be as q
red flag. but it had the effect Of the olive
branch. Mills 8. Reeves and w. w. wardell
were leading Otoe senators.
Every wire was pulled to induce the
members to favor the new location. 1t was

members from Washington county had the

Dakota and one from Dodge deserving and
siding with the members from south of the
river.
Shortly after the project was accom-
plished, a grant of seventy-five sections OF
land in Washington county was made by
the state for the construction OF the North
ern Nebraska Air line, which was to run
from DeSoto to Fremont, but which was
never actually constructed for more than
five miles out Of DeSoto. The land was
traded to John 1. Blair, who became presl.
dent of the air line which later was the
nucleus OF the road in Ne
braska. Real estate In Lincoln also was
doomed and the sale of lots was one Of the
features OF the location OF the new city.

fireless-mere forms OF words; they might
as well have been spoken by Photographs.
The accepted platform Of the hour aroused
not even the listening interest OF the dele
gates who voted for II. Not one out of ten
of them knew what It contained. But the
other men did know what their proposed
platform was. They believed in It; they
fought for 1t: their speakers spoke with
words that burned even through the Icy
Indifference of the men who unintelligently
voted them down. They had Bincoln's
faith, and therefore Lincoln's enthusiasm.
TOIIed with His Hands.
But we are now speaking OF the larger
things of life; let us get down to the more
immediate and practical. Lincoln worked
toiled. 1 mean, tolled physically, toiled with
his hands. He did not do this because he
had to. He was a poor boy, of course, had
hardly enough to eat, indeed, and not
enough to wear. but the whip OF poverty
never yet drove an unwilling young man to
industry. Lincoln's father. for example.
was poorer than he was, and yet he vas
shiftless, and what we would now call
lazy. His ~neighbors called him "a ne'er
do weel," Theie was many another boy
and young man placed precisely as Lincoln
was who preferred to go fishing rather
than systematically to labor, earning hon
est money as an instrument OF increasing
power; young men who preferred to go out.
and hunt wild tn. keys rather than split
rails or build flatboats or grub stumps.
So by the impulse of industry within his
blood Lincoln chose to work-work persis-
tently and Systematically. He never would
rave been president of the American re-
public IL he had not done so; or, what is
far nobler, the greatest humanist, except
ing only Jesus, that the word has ever
seen.
1 have observed this curious t~hing-that
sheer physical industry builds character
quite as surely as 1t builds muscles. 1
have seen that the boy who works. develops
not only physical power, but those glorious
virtues of gratitude. fidelity, truthfulness
and courage-not always, of course, but
generally. So Lincoln's example in this re-
gard means this to you, young man: That
when you work until your tendons almost
break and your bones are weary you are
not only earning your wage and all that,
but what is far more important you are
quite unconsciously to yourself building up
and strengthening those fibers of character
which will be the determining things when
in a few years you meet the world and
challenge 1t not only for a livelihood, but
for place and power.
do meet the world you will have to be just
