Every age of the world has
had it's hero. All greet events
have found it's man. God has
so ordained that the humble in
life may so act as to enoble the
human race. The Bible is re-
plete with great events and ac-
tions of men in which the hum
bic have played a conspicuous
part. We read Of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, who played a
consicuous part in the worlds
early history Mos $, the hum

who was to oliver the children
of Israel from Egyptian bor-
dage; Joseph, who was the hum.
hle shepherd boy, reserved of
God to save his people; Solo
mon, the builder of the temple
to the Most High, was made the
wisest of all men of the human
race. But then, take profape
history: read of Caesar, who
brought civilization to Europe;
Alexander, who conquered the
world; Hannibal, who climbed the
Alps, and Napoleon, who added
glory to French Eagles; then
turn to the western continent,
to Columbus, the man ordained
to give a new heritage to man;
a Washington, who stands upon
an emminence, with his name
written upon the roll Of fame,
surrounded with a laural wreath
rs imperishable as time itself.
Has every act tempered by Wis
dom and justice, loved and hon

every age and race.
But now we speak of another
whose acts in life has become
an open book, whose work, next

live until time shall live no
more; always firm but tenn
pered with justice, brave in the

Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth
President Of the United States.
This wonderful man was born
in Old Kentucky, Feb. IL, 1909,
just 100 years ago. A man pc.
culiar in appearance, six foot in
height, 1.-THE and strong, home]y

tive ability, be forced himself
to the front as a speaker and
debater, became country law

public attention. was elected to

and to Congress in 1916, and

early became an anti-slavery
advocate, declaring that "a
house divided against itself can
not stand" When told that
such expressions would defeat
him, replied: 81 would rather
be defeated with this express
ion in speech, and hold it before
the people than to be victorious
without it." In 1858 he was a
candidate for. U. s. Senator from
Illinois against Stephen A.
Douglas, one of the ablest
debaters in the United States,
and although defeated, he fully
established his reputation as a
profound statesman, and as the
question of African Slavery was
a leading one between the North
and South, Mr.. Lincoln natur-
ally took sides with the North,
declaring that "this government
cannot endure half slave and
half free" In 1860 he receiv-
ed the Republican nomination
for President. and was elected.
This so alarmed the people of
the South that Secession of
Slave States from the: Union be-
came a living question, and so
excited all sections that civil
war was inevltab'ae. On April
18th 1862, the clash came by
the South firing on Fort Sump-
ter. The match to civil war
was thus ignited, and men rail-
led to the flag of their choice,
and for five years this unnatu-
raj strife continued, until thous-
ands Of lives and millions of
money was consumed.
In the war for the integrity
of the Union, Mr.. Lincoln dem
onstrated his intention in deal
ing with the question of domes-
tic slavery when he said: "My
object is to save the Union, and
if can save it and save slavery
] will do so, and if l can save it
and save part of slavery l will
do so, and if it becomes necessa-
ry to abolish slavery to save the
Union l will abolish slavery"
The war was fought victory
came to the Union cause, ard
the Union was saved, and the
crown act of nobility, Abraham
Lincoln's real character was
vindicated by his acts of kind
ness to the vanquished foe. In
spired of God, as the real lead
er of freedom, his Proclamation
liberating four million Of bond
lnen,his humane and kindly acts
to the people of both North and
South, white and black, marked
him as a second Moses in the
march of freedom. His murder
by j. Wilks Booth, on April IA,
1865, from a mistaken belief Of
Lincolns real character, was a
most dasteradly act, and unfor-
tunate for the Southern people,
by removing from the Office of
President a true and noble
friend of his country, and turn
ed loose upon the South a clan
of adventures, who were too
cowardly to fight on either side,
but when danger was removed
by the return of peace, rushed
South to rob and plunder in the
name of the Union, the deeds
thus done, marks the darkest
page in American history, and
could not have occurred had Mr..
Lincoln been spared to finish
The work he had been called to
accomplish; but now, after over
forty years have passed away
since the last shot in that un-
natural war was fired, and the

While there is an outstanding ac-

still $1,000 of this amount is covered

GAMBLING AT BELMONT.
New York District Attorney Will
Attempt to Stop 1t.

New York, May 15.-Believing that
gambling at the race tracks will be
as flagrant this summer as before the
assage of the anti-bettirg laws. Dis
trict Attorney Clarke and his assistant,
Robert H. Elder of Brooklyn, Kings
county, announced last night that they
would Immediately apply to the court
of appeals, the highest court in the
state for final Interpretation of the
recent statute.
Gambling on the races was found by
detectives to be open to all who could
identify themselves at Belmont Park,
Thursday. The officials of Kings coun-
ty in which are located Sheepsnead
Bay and other important tracks, were
led by this condition to believe that oral
book making would flourish despite the
law.
1.-THE contention of the Jaw" said Mr..
Elder. speaking of the Gaynor decis-
ion, was that to lay odds orally for
the purpose of getting bets is book
making. The court holds that there
must be writing of some sort, but it
does not specify whether the writing
must be of odds or what It leaves,
thus the real point of the case unde-
cided. We are trying to find out if it
were necessary to record the odds to
make the act bookmaking.
'If this decision stands, there is fear
that the anti-gambling provision of
the constitution will be nullified If
business gambling is not a crime with
out some writing or recording, then the
bookmakers can shout the odds and
make oral bets at viii. This would
enable them to DO business on a very
large scale especially the wealthy book
makers, who could employ assistants
with cipher codes for recording bets.
The whole evi11of booknaking could be
renewed and the statute and constitu-
.t1on nullified-
1.-THE indications at the Belmont
Park track tend to confirm this fear.
I understand that Mr.. Belmont was
asked to stop this. The fact that he
did not shows that the gamblers are
Ito take advantage of the decisions of
the court to the utmost.
1.-THE friends of order tell me that
they have not lost faith in the court
of appeals however. The racing men
have organized a press bureau to try
to manufacture public sentiment. /
do not think, however, that the people
can be fooled. The real enemy of lib
erty is the man who would substitute
his own way for the way of the law
