the naturalness of a nearby neishoor.
Aside from the native charm and
simplicity of the authors diction, the
body of the text itself. this greatly to

skill with which the first chapter was
written, and the judgement with whicn

LINCOLN, PROGRESSIVE.

Abraham Lincoln was lawyer, but not of the
stand pat brand. He believed that law was human
justice and common sense made articulate and un-
derstandable and that when it fell away from those
ideals it ought 10 be amended or repealed
When the Dred Scott decision affronted the moral
sense of the whole people and its applauders de-
clared the slavery question settled Lincoln said that
nothing settled until settled right
Living in these times Lincoln undoubtedly would
have been an eloquent and resolute leader Of the
movement to give back to the people the power of
managing their national affairs as they wished them
managed.
In his first inaugural he said:
e.: The candid citizen must confess that If the
policy Of government, upon vital questions
affecting the whole people, is to be rrevocably
fixed by decision of the Supreme Court, the
= people will have ceased to be their own rulers
: having to that extent practically resigned their
Government into the hands Of that eminent
tribunal
Lincoln was thorough and intelligent student of
the functions and limitations of government He
knew where the peoples power began and where il
ended, and how far the authority of the courts ex-
tended. Americans who celebrate today the anniver-
sary of the birth of Lincoln would do we'll to ponder
upon what ne said to the encroachments of the
judicial upon the legislative power orderly opposi-
ton to which is the duty of every good citizen as
Abraham Lincoln showed with such force, temperate
though it was, in his first Presidential inaugural

What's a Suffraaette?

Here are some prize winning descrip-
tive epigrams submitted in recent ad-
verIising contest IN which short defini-
tons of suffragette were asked for:
A suffragette is woman who thinks
she has been devoted long enough.
Not satisfied with the last word, she
also wants the first.
She is a woman who needs the poll
for her vaulting ambition.
A suffragette is sting of beauty and
jawer forever.
A woman who would rather break win
dows than clean them.
A woman whose troubles are certainly
not little ones"
One who spends more time airing hei
views than viewing her heirs.
A woman who will spare no panes &c
get her rights.
A woman who would rather rock the
country than the cradle. Philadelphia

BERKSHIRE CONGRESS
VIII Be Held In Connection With the
Kentucky State Fair-Nlne Ribbons
Will Be Offered In Each Class and
Some Snowy Herds Are Assured.

As an example of the repute won
by the constantly enlarged and i'm,
proved Kentucky State Fair celebra-
ton may be mentioned the fact that
Kentucky has captured the American
Berkshire Show for 1913, and this ex
hibition will be held at the fair
grounds, in Louisville, during the com.
ing celebration.
This national Berkshire exhibition
is authorized~by the American Berk-
shire Record Association, and is an
event held from year to year at some
leading state fair, the location being
selected with a view to most generally
benefitting the Berkshire breed, and
it is decidedly pleasing feather in the
cap of Kentuckians that Kentucky was
voted the next congress in preference
to Illinois, which has heretofore rank
ed as the state preeminent in ad-
vantages to the showing of swine OF
all breeds. and of Berkshires in par.
ticular. In fact, Chicago has always
been regarded as Mecca for the great
swine herds of the country.
The prizes offered in the Berkshire
contest total up 20 $1,400, the sum OF
5000 having been contributed by the
American Berkshire Association, a like
amount by the Kentucky State Fair
management. while the balance was
donated by those interested in the de
velopment of the Berkshire hog. All
the leading Berkshire show herds OF
the country will enter for exhibition
and there will be two beautiful trophies
offered by the American Berkshire
Association, one for Kentucky exhib
itors and one open to the world. Fol
years the association trophy has been
a much coveted honor among exhib
itors at the leading fairs and shows
of the country, and 1t is a foregone
conclusion that the prominence OF
Kentucky as a live stock state and the
extensiveness of the fair exhibition
will key the interest in this handsome
prize up to the very highest tension.
There will be nine ribbons offered
in each class, and the premium money
is so distributed that any exhibitor
with only a few good hogs is assured
of making his expenses.
The Berkshire Congress and Swine
Show will be held in the beautiful new
judging pavilion erected last year, the
building being a model of convenience
and perfect in arrangement. 1t affords
every advantage to exhibitor and spec
tator alike, and 1t is expected that
every loyal follower of the Berkshire
will flock from every part of the Uni
ted States to do homage to this peer,
less breed.
Both in point of numbers as well as
in general excellence it is-expected that
the Berkshire Congress at the coming
Kentucky State Fair will excel the ex.
hibits of the great International Expo,
sition in Chicago.
There will also be splendid classes
