wonder now if everyone
Couldn't just as well be kind;
If that were so, why things would be
More cheerful, you would find.
We only live one life, they say;
Let's make the best of that.
If you are kind and l am kind,
Well know just where we're at.
It's surely just as easy, now
To treat a fellow square, "
And keep a disposition
That runs cheerful everywhere.
Some folks are so complainy, that
They fairly make you sick.
I'd rather meet the fellow whom
The folks say He's a brick. T.. .
You're told Ito smile by everyone,
Who writes in any line.
Now. lust keep up that smiling, take
That healthy tip for mine.
1t is to laugh, though, cause know,
You folks read this with ease.
And then you lay the thought away,
And do as you darn please.

vast multitude. Lincoln's speech on
this occasion was regarded the ablest
effort of the campaign. The second
meeting Of the two champions was in
Peoria, and after Lincoln had finished.
Douglas, as a nearer. remarked, hadn't
much to say" Thereafter the Little
Giant kept cut Of the way of his an
tagonist The same year Lincoln de-
clined the nomination for governor.
In the first Republican national con-
vention. held at Philadelphia in 1856.
Lincoln received no votes for the
v;ce-presidency on tthe ticket with
John G. Fremont When the choice
Of the ticket, fell upon Fremont and
Dayton as the STANDARD. bearers of the
new party, Lincoln lentered earnestly
into the campaign He had a repu-
tation as campaign speaker and
proved a tower of strength to his
party. His speeches were mastery
and held his hearers spell-bound No
other orator Of the period could equal
him in the rare combination of wit,
argument and dramatic power
The Lincoln-Douglas debate of 1858
has become historic. 1t was more
than a contest between two rival can
didates for a seat in the United States
senate. The discussion was one in
which the whole nation was deeply
concerned. They appeared together
before tremendous assemblages of
people. Through this celebrated word
duel. Lincoln kept his temper and
treated his opponent with courtesy
and fairness, indulging in no often
sive personalities. The immediate re-
suit of those debates was Douglas
election as senator. The far-sighted
Lincoln looked ahead to the contest
for the presidency assured that Doug
las could not win IN 1860. From this
time Lincoln's reputation was ma
tiOnal, and he received invitations to
sneak in other states. In May, 1859,
the Republican party Of Illinois de-
clared Lincoln to- he its choice for
the presidential nomination of 1850.
In September he addressed audiences

sons of whom only the eldest, Robert
Todd Lincoln, is living.
There is truth in the statement that
Lincoln was too much of a politician
to be a great lawyer. He took more
than passing interest in politics and
he was quick to improve opportuni-
ties for political advancement In
the election of 1874 he "stumped" the
state as champion of the Wing party
making many speeches on the tariff
question, which he had thoroughly
studied To enter Congress long had
been his ambition and in 1896 he was
elected as representative from the cen
trail district Of Illinois. He was the
only Wing from his state, his six col
leagues being Democrats. During his
term, 1919, he held with his party
in favoring a protective tariff and in
making appropriations for public i'm
provements.
Opposed to Slavery. .~
Already he had pronounced views
on the question of slavery. When a
member introduced a bill to abolish
the slave trade in the District CT Co
lumbia. Lincoln proposed an amend
ment for abolition of slavery in the
district. He always sunDorted the
Wilmct proviso, voting for it about
40 times. He was not a candidate for
reelection, but applied for the Office
of commissioner of lands. This posi-
ton he failed to get Instead he was
offered the goFernorship of Oregon,
which he declined.
Returning to Sprin gfeld, Lincoln re-
sumed the practice of law, meanwhile
closely watching the signs of the
times and foreseeing trouble with the
Shareholders because of their manifest
intention to encroach upon the soil of
the western territories He was deep
ly stirred by the repeal of the Mis-
souri, conUromisn in 1854, and enter
ed actively into the canvass of that
year. In this memorable campaign
he was pitted against SteDhen A.

debate between the two men was at

COAST SWIMMERS
PLAN STRENUOUS
ISLAND TOURING

The California water speeders who
arrived here yesterday have lost no
time in coTnntencfng a seeing Oahu"
campaign, and 1t IS plain that their
observations are not to be confined
to the beach and waterfront. although
these two localities naturally come in
for fist consideration. The five
swimmers and their manager have
expressed a desire to see everything
that's to be seen. during their short
stay in the islands. and this means
that they will give the mornings to
training, and the afternoons to sight
seeing.
Yesterday the party, escorted by
a number of Hea.anl and Hui Nalu
members. visited Waikiki and tried
the surf, expressing themselves a.
delighted with the brand Of ocean
swimming on tap here. No serious
attempt was made to learn to ride
the waves, for the reason that the
surf was conspicuous by its absence.
This morning the San Franciscans
visited the Healani boat house. which

for short while, getting a line on
the course and the temperature Of the
water that they will be called to swim
in during the big meet. The general
opinion among the visitors is that
conditions in the harbOr are ideal for
an open-water meet.
Tomorrow afternoon the visitors
will make trip by auto to the pine
apple cannery, and on Friday trip
to Eva Mil will be made. Sunday the
party will be the guests Of James Jae-
ger on his power yacht Kulumanu II,

Next Tuesday evening there will be

ABR. LINCOLN,
THE BOY AND MAN

Abraham. Lincoln. the 18th presi-
dent OF the United States, was born
IN Hardin County, Kentucky, February
~, 1909. His ancestors were English
Quakers who settled in America In
sfhe 18th century. His grandfather,
Abraham Lincoln. man OF property,
removed from Virginia TO Kentucky
About 1850, with three sons. Thomas,
tlie youngest, who was a carpenter by
trade, on June -, 1906. married Nancy

ditiof but possessing qualities OF In

eye. From this union came three
children, the oldest daughter; the
second. named Abraham, and the
fhlrd, q son who died in infancy.
Lincoln's parents were plain people
and the log cabin they lived in was

From her he inherited the serious

troubled career. She died in 1913 and
the boy OF nine deeply mourned her

IN 1916 Thomas Lincoln removed 70

teachers were men who never went

devoured the few books that fell into
his hands the Bible, Aesop's Fables,
Pilgrims Progress, Robinson Crusoe
and the lives Of washington and Hen

reading and studying, and gained what
must be considered fair education.

Native Vein 81 Humcr.
At the age OF 20, Abe Lincoln, as
he was called, had grown to extraor,
binary stature, nearly feet 4 inches,
and his great muscular strength was
tie talk Of the neighborhood. He had
developed his native vein Of flumor
which afterwards made him famous.
Ia 1880 Lfncoln's father married again
and moved to Sangamon county, Illi-
nois. From this home he departed in
short time to Coles county; there
he died in 1881. In the spring of 1881

found impression. On February q,

England. A combination Of circum-
stances gave Lincoln the victory at
the polls, he having received $50 votes.
Lincoln the Martyr.
During the four remaining months
Of Buchanan's administration, the
storm of secession gathered in the
South and the movement was pro-
moted by the treachery of John B.
Floyd, then secretary of war. The
confederate congress met at Montgom-
cry, Ala, February 4, 1861, and chose
jefferson Davis as president. Lincoln
, reached Washington February % and
/ was inaugurated March 4. Although
an untried man, unknown to the ma
! jority of the people outside Of his
own state, the new president made a
favorable impression and inspired con-
fdence in his ability to cope with a
serious situation He argued that mo
state upon it's own motion can lawfully
get out of the Union"
The story of LincoIns life for the
next four years is involved in the
history of the Civil war. Although the
South was busy preparing for war,
the people of the North were slow to
act, hoping in vain for peace. 1t was,
however, a war to save the Union.

went into effect. Congress had pre-
viously passed a bill abolishing slav-
cry in the District of Columbia. and
slavery had been prohibited in the
territories.
Lee surrendered at AppamatoX April
Q, 1865. The rejoicing Of the nation
was suddenly turned to mourning
when the president was shot in Ford S
theater. Washington. on the evening
of April II by John Wilkes Booth.
| He fingered unconscious and died the
next morning. His remains, after ly-
