Will Help Los Angeles

Should Governor Gillett sign both the
bills authorizing the construction of
new state buildings in Agricultural
park, Los Angeles will be extremely
fortunate. The armory building bill
carries an appropriation Of 100000, and
that for an exposition building calls for
$3.50, 900. 1t is said that the bill intro
duced by Assemblyman Pugh, which
provides for the regulation of the prac-
tice of plumbing, will be vetoed.

sense of a living woman and tragic career
MI Ryan does well to begin at the beginning
paying so much attention to the events OF Anne S
childhood that he does not reach her accession
to the throne until he opens his second volume
Half the pathos Of her story lies in the rate
which presided over its earlier chapters, in the
sequence of events which paved the way for her
bitter triumph.
The stars in their courses fought TO drive
Anne back upon herself to make her mind

She fell in love with the handsome Earl of Null
grave when she was young and say and ire

romance in the bud and in due course, the
eager aTectionate girl was married to Prince
George Of Denmark a good natUred and not Ill

along wholesome lines. She needed a master as
well as a friend for husband at the time OF
Charlcs's death Prince George, possessed OF
divers excellent qualities. had none by virtue OF
which he might have directed her when she
most needed direction. Mr. Ryan thus accu-
rateIy indicates the mood of Anne on the acces-
sion of James II:

Of reveii:nas in youth and rank and splendid for

her father had attained after long years Of suf-

1t is impossible to estimate the precise ex-
tent to which she brooded over her hopes Of
the throne in her young womanhoOd. or to fix
the exact date at which she began to cherish
IDEAS essentially disloyal to her father: but
there is evidence that her ambition was of

we call Americanism, of the demo-

bly, he had ten fingers, two ears and
the usual number of bones found in

these facts? Tom Smith and Jim Jen-
kins are equally endowed in this re-
gard. There are billion and a half
of human entities now living, nearly all
with ten fingers, two ears and the full
complement of bones. Most of them
likewise have had love affairs or will
have them when they arrive at the
susceptible age; most Of them old
enough to talk at all have told stories
or have tried to do so; most Of them
are plain of face, especially if they
are of the male gender, and all Of
them have linear dimensions of some
sort or other. Yet there is not sin

all his heart attacks came before mar
rage, which is not invariably the case
In these days of affinities and divorce
courts.
There must be no mistake made in
one regard. Abraham Lincoln was a
society man. In Springfield his name
was on most Of the committees that
got up functions, and he was well
come guest at all houses. The same
was true in Washington the two years
he served in congress. While he was
not exactly ladies' man for the rea-
son that he was forever telling stories
and so got all the men around him, he
was not insensible to feminine charms
and was as ready to fall in love as any
young man with strong passions and
an eye for beauty.
This seems so much a matter of
course that it is strange Mr.. Lincoln's
biographers should dwell on it at such
length. 1t is on a par with referring
SO constantly to his height, to his
LONELINESS and to the fact that he
told broad stories. It is as though we

affairs, his risuue anecdotes and his
great length and not that he Is cele-
brated for Hberating race, for saving
a nation, for being merciful, demo
cratic, truth loving and white Of soul
In other words, we put forward his
nonessentials at the expense of his es-
sentials. We emphasize those things
in which he was not distinguished
from his kind to the exclusion of those
things in which he was SO distin-
gu1shed. Other men have had love af-
fairs not essentially different from
those Of Lincoln; others have been as
ugly or as tall, and others have told
as many stories, but nobody else ever
issued an emancipation proclamation;
no one else ever held together the
worlds greatest republic in the hour
of her supreme trial; no one else, with
one exception, ever combined such
meekness and greatness, and few 9th
ers have been more tender hearted.

life Of any man are beautiful and are
cherished according to the degree of
his development. With man Of Lin
coins tender heart and sensibilities
such things would be sacred and holy,
not to be profaned by light references
or prying eyes A mans public life
belongs to the public. His private and
domestic affairs are his own. The
mere fact that one is prominent does
not make him the legitimate prey Of
the merely curious. Many great men
have had unhappy home lives. Poor
Lincoln was none too fortunate in this
regard. But he is at least entitled to
respect, even though he was denied
his full measure Of happiness. Such
respect would shield him from a pry-
ing scrutiny after death that would
never have been given his affairs dur
ing life. With all due respect to
Messrs. Lamon and Herndon, who,
having been his law partners, should
have been his devoted friends, it must
be said that they have dragged his
purely private affairs to light in very
tactless if not an indicate manner.
Moreover, many of their conclusions
rejecting on his parents and some re-
garding his wife have been shown by
thorough investigation to be untrue.
For example, Herndon says that Lin
coin absented himself on his wedding
night. As careful biographer as Ida
NJ Tarbell denies this and gives the
word of numerous personal friends Of
both Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln to prove
her statement, In the same manner
several of Herndon's allegations con-
corning Thomas and Nancy Hanks
Lincoln have been proved untrue by
the actual records brought to light.
The simple facts are that Lincoln's
parents, his early life, his education,
his courtships and his domestic life
were about such as fall to the lot OF
the average man born, reared and liv-
Ing his adult life in a similar environ
ment. His stories were about such as
were told by other frontiersmen. law

His courtships are magnifed, torn to

laid bare in manner the most cal

one sweetheart, his letters to another,
his misunderstanding with third,
