OPPORTUNITY received by Abraham
Lincoln in an important patent suit,
it is doubtful whether he would have
entered into the Lincoln Douglas de-
bates which led up to his nomination
for the high Office The story CUES
on to say that Peter FL. Watson,
leading patent attorney of his time
had charge of the Mccormick reaper
interests and it was decided to seek
the services of Mr.. Lincoln in patent
suit being tried in the Illinois district.
When Mr.. Watson sought Mr.. Lincoln
he met the latter holding a letter in
his hand. After consultation, Mr..
Lincoln agreed to enter the case and
a retainer of several thousand dollars,
large fee for the time, was handed
to him. AS the conversation proceeded
Mr.. Lincoln tore up the letter he was
holding. and remarklng that it re-
.quired explanation told MIR. Watson
hehad just received request from
the Illinois Republican Committee
for him to engage in series of joint
debates with Stephen A Douglas 1t
is easily understood that he appreciated
the invitation and all the opportunity
meant for him. He told his caller that
after carefully bordering the whole
matter. he had been obliged, because
of his financial condition, to decline
the invitation and had done so in the
letter he had just torn up; that the
retainer he had just received put him
in a position to render the political
service desired and that he would
write different letter and agree to
enter upon the debates. The rest is
well-known MISUNDERSTANDING Ameri
can.

Next Number on Lecture Course

Frank Dixon, one of the foremost
lecturers Of the country, will furnish
the third number of the local course
Friday February 81. The lecture last
week by Judge Alden was spoken of as
being the best ever delivered before
Lancaster audience. Mr. Dixon should
be even better it the difference in cost
between the number furnished by him
and that by Judge Alden is consider
ed. The local committee was obliged
to pay twice as much to secure Mr..
Dixon as for Judge Alden.
Frank Dixon has four lectures
"The Man against the Mass. THE
Square Deal The Coming Ameri-
can and Government Ownership. -
From these he will make his selec-
tion. He has made a study of social
problems and their rational solution.
The above lectures taken together
form one of the most sensible as we'll
as scholarly arrangements of socialism
and anarchism ever presented to an
audience.
Dixon is spoken of by his hearers as
being brilliant. witty, cutting
satirical. His lectures are not dry
as dust but appeal strongly to the
average man.
