1 the Illinois state convention two years
before, when he walked into it carrying
on his shoulder two rails bearing the
legend From lot made by Abraham
Lincoln and John Hanks in the Sanga-
mon bottom in 1890
The growth Of the. abolition senti-
ment in the minds Of the leaders of
the Republican party is illustrated by
the fact that when Lincoln delivered
one of his famous precOnventiOn
speeches he was careful to say: Wrong
as we think slavery is we can yet
afford to let it alone where it is, be-
cause that much is due to the necessity
arising from its actual presence in the
nation
Not as Noisy as Others.
The campaign Of 1860 was not as
noisy as the one which went before
and there was not as much feeling in
evidence as there was four years pre-
ViOus 1t was marked By an attempt
on the part OF the three anti-Republ-
can parties to get together. Bell, Of
the constitutional Union party, wanted
all three of the candidates to with
draw and concentrate on one man He
authorized Jefferson Davis, afterWard
president Of the southern confederacy,
to enter upon negotiations looking TO
that end Breckenridge also expressed
to Davis his Willingness TO acQuiesce
in such an arrangement. but Douglas
declared that matters had gone too far
for him to withdraw, since he believed
bulk Of his support would go to Lin
coin.
But there had been a time when Doug
las was willing 20 withdraw. He sent
letter to the Baltimore convention
saying that If he stood in the way of
harmony, his name should be removed
from consideration. When this was
suppressed, he sent a telegram of the
same import to the chairman of the
New York delegation, but this shared
the same fate and Douglas was nOmi-
mated. He said on the stump that If
he could have had the unanimous nOmi-
nation of his party on its platform of
four years previous, Lincoln could
have had carried only Vermont and
Massachusetts.
First Report Of Corruption.
The campaign was characterized by
the first big stories of corruption
funds. Tt was asserted that William B.
AstOr had given a million dollars to
carry New York against Lincoln, and
that other big merchants had dupli-
Gated his contribution, the grounds Of
the opposition being that Lincoln's
election would result in secession and
that would cut their business in twain.

- MASS. Author Of cat Good Old SiwasA"

e DWELL. MASS, IS a permanent
convention Of cotton mills and
- shoe factories, assembled around
the Merrimac river which puts in over
time every day running them
For many centuries the Merrimac was
allowed to tumble over the rocks un-
harnessed. In 1922, however, q company
built a dam and Lowell began to grow.
1t Is now famous for its factories which
stretch along the river looking at night
like four and five story torchlight pro
cessions. Lowell makes each year enough
cotton cloth to tie a 100 foot wide sash
around the earth with a bow 500 miles
across. It also makes $4,000 shoes a day,
a train load of socks. and enough patent
medicine to cure America or drown it.
Lowell has 10000 people, most of
whom trace their ancestry back to
Europe in the first generation by way OF
the steerage. It's name is the most
American thing about it except the
business-like way in which it makes
French newspapers in
Lowell print baseball scores in French,
while the city boasts II miles of power
canals and calls itself the Venice OF
America. This is kinder than it would
be to call Venice the Lowell of Italy.
Lowell Is not at all exciting in its
business section. It has no skyscrapers
and business is not congested except on
Saturday nights. Lowell has one of the
biggest Saturday nights in the country.
1t costs less TO live I'm Lowell than it
does anywhere else in America, which is
lucky because few Of its people carry

loves me I would like to know a plan
by which I could find out if she recip-
rOcates my love for her"
rs it any harm for a boy and girl
Of 16 to keep steady company Some
people say thai at the age Of Is chill
dren should never think Of the Oppo-
site sex"
Boy and girl love. called calf-lOve by
those who have survived its attacks
without lasting scars may develop into
something fine, but every chance in
the world is against it.
In Love With Love.
In the first place children Of that
age don't know their own minds. They
are in love with love, and think they
are in love with the boy or girl who at
that moment pleases them best In six
weeks, stiH in love with love, this
brain is attached to some other person.
Indeed, given opportunity and environ
ment, the object of ones undying love
when one is 16 changes as rapidly as
the scene in a moving picture.
This love is serious while it lasts. 1t
takes time, is a waste of emotion and
IS 1Ostered and encouraged when ones
judgment is hasty and immature. There
in the danger lies.
Youth always swings too far both ways.
One is uncOntrolably happy, or danger
Ously depressed. Love, never an off
spring Of reason. behaves as if Of in

sway are under t.

When one is 16 the brain is strong

period of their lives moon around like
half-sick calves and think, sing and
prate of love that viii not live longer
than tomorrow.
Here's the Answer.
To the writer's of these three letters
suggest careful perusal Of E. J.
Hardy, who says:
''Precociousness in love making is
great mistake. 1t prevents the enjoy
ment of youthful years, which should
be free from anxiety, and leads to en-
tanglements and hasty attachments
which cause much distress. We
do not advise girls to put off matri-
mony until they are three hundred and
eighty years Old-which was. I believe,
the age of the daughter of EnOch when
she entered that stare-but We think
they do not consult their best interests
in allowing thoughts Of love and mar
rage to occupy their minds in their
salad days, when they are green IL
Judgment
Read this quotation again:
1T prevents the enjoyment of
youthful years. which should be free
from anxiety. and leads to entaHgle-
ments and hasty attachments which
cause much distress"
The writers of these letters, one two
and three, viii find no argument fav-
