LETTER FROM The CAPITAL
OF The NATION.
LlNCOLHS BIRTHDAY OBSERVED
TIERS OF INTEREST In BOTH
BRANCHES OF CONGRESS.

Washington, d G, February 10
BY a joint resolution late on the
18th inst, Congress made provision
for the observance Of Friday, the
18th, the centennial of the birth of
Lincoln, as special holiday and the
Presidents proclamation confirmed
the Lc:ion of Congress, making it
effective in the District Of Colum-
bia, Alaska, Arizona, New Mexico
and Hawaii. In anticipation OF the
passage of the resolution, after he
had departedfor Lincoln's birthplace
in Kentucky, the President had pre-.
pared and signed a proclamation
which was issued as soon as the joint
resolution had been signed by Vice
President Fairbanks and Speaker
Cannon,
Near the close of the session of the
House of Representatives, Nr Bou-
telle of Illinois delivered eulogy on
Lincoln of such force and simplicity
that l will venture to quote it here
believing it cannot have a too wide
circulation:
"No ruler ever faced so hard a
task, or one beset with so many pit.
tails as that which confronted Lin
coin when he entered the Presidency.
During all his term of service he
had to deal, not only with open ene-
mics, but with secret foes. faithless
friends and unscrupulous rivals.
"He endured the whips and scorns
of time With unfaillng patience and
serenity, sometimes diverting the
force of the heaviest blows with the
shield of humor; and day after day
he bore without murmur a load of
care that would have crushed a spirit
that had not been nobly consecrated.
"But in the night watches, when
deep sleep falleth upon men, he trod
alone the loftiest heights of human
thought, communed in solitude with
God, drank deep from the cool els
terms of Christian charity and came
back to the burdens and the heat of
another day with his soul purged of
all envy, hatred and malice and all
uncharitableness and with the light
of inspiration in his deep-set eyes.
We shall search In vain the mes
sages, speeches and letters of Lincoln
for one impatient, harsh or contempt
uous word directed against those
who differed with. him or sought to
thwart his designs"
The President has returned from
Kentucky where he went to officiate
at the laying of the corner stone at
the old Lincoln homestead in Larue
county and to deliver an address
there. The other speakers were ex.

The lien law has been up in

other than the effort to have it

failed signally.
The several bills relating to
fish and game introduced by
Senator Bass have provoked IN
the Senate probably as much at
tention as any subject so far
considered. BY the side of the
liquor and lien law questions
these bills may seem of small
moment, but as was said by Sen
ator Christensen on the floor OF
the Senate last Thursday, there
IS nothing that is OF more vital
Importance to the farmers OF
the State than the matter OF the
protection of birds and our
whole people ought to be terri
bly, in earnest in the matter OF
regulating the taking of fish and
game.
The railroad commissioners
have ordered an inquiry into the
matter of the freight rates on

Mr. BRYAN was a member, of the
House committee on Agrlcul-

the third ranking member OF
that committee.
It has come to the writer's ears
that Mr. Carter, although he has
had little to say on the floor OF
the House, is one of the most
prompt, painstaking and useful
members of the Ways and Means
committee, the most important
of all committees.
Mr. Graham may be a little
slow, but he "gits there just the

The Capitol, Columbia, Feb
ruary 16:-On Thursday night
Judge D E Hydrick was, on the
forty-second ballot, elected as
sociate Justice of the supreme
court to succeed Hon Ira B
Jones, elevated to the f-jus
ticeship. The final vote was Hy.
drick lO3, Cothran SO, Hon J c
Sheppard's name having been
withdrawn at the close of the
forty-frst ballot. At about the
thirtleth ballot the entire Will
liamsburg delegation, regarding
him the equal OF any man in the
race and believing it their duty
to do all in their power to bring
about an election, went to Judge
Hydrick and thereafter voted
for him to the end. This action
of our delegation was his first
substantial gain and was the
beginning of the end. Justice
Hydrick will enter into office on
April Is.
Should the Assembly adjourn
next Saturday,at which time the
usual forty days will expire,ve
few new laws will go upon the
statute books. Not a single
measure of general interest has
been finally voted upon. Not
more than fifteen or twenty acts
have been ratified and all are

question of "dispensary" and

then this subject has provoked
much and more and most talk

say what the action of the Sen

Final Proof On

Clark Hovey, Ward county's public

claim owned by John Besemer, Jr.,
who has been an inmate of the insane
asylum at Jamestown for the past
four years and half Five year proof
was made. The land lies three miles
from Ryder and is worth about $4,000.
1t is not likely that young Besemee
will ever be in his right mind to
enjoy the benefits from his homestead
but it will be under the supervision
of the public administrator, and If
it produces an income greater than
the expenses, the money will go to
the support of the young man. The
land can never be sold during the life
of the young man. by the county nor

the N. D. e. A. convention met at
the Commercial Club rooms in this

progress that had been made. Minot
will do herself proud in the entertain
ment of the 500 or more teachers who
will be with us on Dec. 20, 80 and 81
for. elaborate arrangements have been
completed.
The financial committee reported
that the business men had contribut-
ed to fund of 1929, which would be
ample to carry out all of the plans
successfully.
Each teacher at the time of regis
tration, will be presented one of the
most beautiful souvenir booklets ever
gotten out in this city. 1t will consist
of sixteen interesting views about the
city together with ten short, but to
the point, arguments why Minot
should have a normal school. The
arguments have been prepared by j.
M. Devine, who has given the propo-
sition careful study. The cover page
will be of especial design and very
beautiful and appropriate.
The committee has secured copies
of the omprehensiye and valuable
little booklet, compiled by Prof. s..
Henry Wolfe of the Minot schools, n
titled, Live Thoughts for Live Teach
ers." These booklets will no doubt
be greatly appreciated for they are
worth their gold in gold.
All Minot should b: out at the
reception to be given for the teachers
at the opera house on the night of
Dec. 20. The committee on decoration
has secured a wealth of southern smi-

of the room. Hundreds Of electric

During the evening frappe will be

decisions which compel the authorities
to keep him in confinement. He re-
members his old friends at Ryder
and talks freely of life on his Ward
county homestead.
If he should ever regain his reason,
the land will be his. Proof was made
at the Minot land Office, the witnesses
being Geo. J. Morris of ryder and
Geo. Eisele Of Ryder.
There is provision in the statutes
of 1880, which provide that in case
a man comes insane before final
proof is made on his homestead, that
proof can be made by his guardian,
and his stay, in the asylum counts just
the same as tho he were living on
the land. Two contests were brot
against this claim, but Mr.. Hovey de-
Tended them successfully.
