biggest propositions. The simplest men
who go directly to the heart Of great
propositions are the greatest men.
Lincoln lives on in the heart Of the
children, those surest and most merci-
less critics of historical fame or pres
ent pretension. 1t is the highest COM
mendation Of any career that it shall
stand the acid test of the budding
minds of schoolboys and schoolgirls.
The second surest test is that it shall
meet the approval Of the common
people. the farmer in the field and the
toiler on the street and in the market
places. And by these tests Lincoln and
the type which is carrying on the
struggle for universal opportunity
stand approved. The truest test of men
is their capacity AID readiness to per-
form a common service.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
[Traer Srar-Clipper.l

One day last week three handsome
buses were received at Mt. Auburn
which were consigned to the consoli-
dated schools at Brandon. The ew
vehicles are handsome ones and will
be used in taking the rural scholars TO
and from school al Brandon. The con-
solidation Of the rural and public
schools of Brandon is proving a source
Of considerable rejoicing among the
taxpayers of that vicinity. The school
children are also enjoying the change.
They are obtaining much better ed
ucational advantages besides having q
means of getting to the school fur
nished them. They furnish q most
comfortable means Of gathering up the
school children.-Vinton Times.
The consolidation Of the rural schools
is growing. Wherever tried it has
proved an unexpected success. Sew
eral counties in western Iowa have
adopted the plan and in not one in
stance would the farmers return TO the
district school. II is not always prac-
teal TO combine the schools Of an en-
more can often be consolidated with
benefit TO all. The plan should be
taken up in several portions Of Tama
county. The West Union school, the
school in old Buckingham and perha ps
another or two should be abandoned
and the pupils should attend the TraeT
school The expense would be little II
any more than the present system
while the results would be apparent

Theodore Roosevelt has truly said
that 10 patronizc man is to insult

ton. Several of them had been de-

heaven to save the country from an
iInbecile president who could DO moth

Then a committee from the senate
called at the White House to urge the

1o-year-oId girl speaking 10 her

The greatest man IS the one whose
greatness is the most completely IN

simplest. The child's question evil
denced her full understanding Of Alb
ranon1 Lincoln, his motives, his deeds
and the manner Of their accomplish
ment. She saw, what all see, the no.
bility, single mindedness and simple
majesty of his soul. The sense Of broth
erhood was strong upon her. She knew
him and his purposes, purposes that a
child could grasp because they were e!e-

derstood because it included her ara
hers and all that she loves and acmires
and pities He had been her elder
brother brother Of all the world, know

and demanding the common rights OF
mankind which children recognize with
geen and unfailing accuracy.
So all childhood unquestion :
ingly accepts Abraham Lincoln
because childhood goes thru the
barriers we raise about great
ness to the heart of the man. Lincoln
was greater than other men, mightier
than other rulers not because of his
mighty brain and splendid poise but to
these he joined the simple heart Of a
child and tested his every conception OF
government by the supreme test of his
love for all human kind. That is why
every school child, north and south
sees Abraham Lincoln today above all

Lincoln, not Roosevelt, is the decimal
point between the old and the new
order. He was the first crystallation OF

soiute equality under the law, the
square deal for all men black or white
irrespective Of poverty. race, color OF
