GOODNESS BETWEEN
KNOX AND CULLOM

WASHINGTON, Feb. ll.-There Is
GOODNESS between Senators Knox and
Cullom. ordinarily two OF the most ge'
NAL OF statesmen and farthest remov-
ed from personal feelings. Senator
Cullom is aggriebed
Ii appears that Mr. Cullom, IS 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
national holiday. He wanted it pass
ed before Feb. 10, the centennial an
niversary, and Is was going swim
mingly in that direction when Sena-
tor Knox got interested In II.
Up in Pennsylvania enterprising
persons have for decades wanted the
government 10 build great national
boulevard from Washington To Gettys-
burg This year ii was esteemed espe-
called 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-
quiring 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. II.
Hence the prodigious chill which pre-
walls whenever Cullom and Knox get
into the same quarter Of the compass.
