SUES TO ENFORCE LIEN.

J. P. Kennamer, by his attorney, C. E. Condray, yesterday afternoon filed suit in the Faulkner chancery court seeking to establish lien for S200 upon the west half of the north west quarter, 3-S-12, which he sold to the defendants, J. M. and Cynthia Lay on February IA, 1913. The plain tiff alleges the consideration of the sale was $500 and that he accepted as part payment a note signed by one C. B. Webb for S200, which the plain tiff claims the defendants represented as being good, but which the com plainant now alleges is worthless.

ISLAND TOURING

The California water ~speeders who
arrived here yesterday lave lest no
time in commencing a seeing Oahu"
campaign. and it is plain that their
observations are not to be confined
to the beach and waterfront. although
these two localities naturally come in
for ii ST consideration. The five.
swimmers and their manager lave
expressed a desire TO see everything
that's to be seen. during their short
stay in the Islands, and this means
that they VII give the mornings t.
training, and the afternoons TO sight
seeing.
Yesterday the party. escorted by
q number OF Hea AMI and Hui Nalu
members, visited Waikiki and tricI
the surf, expressing themselves a.9
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 Hea'api boat house. which
they will make headQual ters during
their stay. and tried the harbor water
for a short while. getting a line on
the course and the temperature Of tho
water that they VIII 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 a trip by auto to the pine
apple cannery. and Oh Friday a trip
to Eva Mill will be made. Sunday the
PARTY will be the guests Of James Jae-

cember he spoke at several ,promt'
nent points in Kansas, making pro
found impression. On February q,
1860, he visited New York and de-
livered his famous Cooper Union ora
tiGn, followed by speeches in New
England A combination Of circum-
stances gave Lincoln the victory at
the polls, he having received 1870 votes.
Lincoln the Martyr.
During the four remaining months
of Buchanans administration, the
storm Of secession gathered in the
South and the movement was pro-
noted 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-
fidence 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 Lincoln's 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 we're slow to
act, hoping in vain for peace. 1t was,
however. a war to save the Union,
not to destroy slavery. That was Lin
coins object in 1861
On January !, 1863, the enancipa-
ton proclamation, freeing the slaves,
went into effect. Congress had pre-
viousy passed a bill abolishing slav-
cry in the District Of Columbia, and
slavery had been prohibited in the
territories.
Lee surrendered at AppamatoX April
9, 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-
ing in state in the capitol, were borne
to Springfield and there buried on
May 4. This tragic end as we'll as his
public services had gained him place
in the. hearts Of his COuntrymen not
second to that Of Washington, and in
the estimation CT many he was and is
regarded as the greatest Of Ameri
cans.

sons of whom only the eldest, Robert
Todd Lincoln, is living
There is truth IL the statement that
Lincoln was too much OF politician
to be a great lawyer. He took more
than a passing interest in politics and
he was quick to improve opportuni
ties for political advancement In
the election of 1914 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 1916 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 hrs
term, 1919, he held with his party
in favoring a protective tariff and in
making appropriations for public i'm
proyements. .r-
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 of Co
lurnbia. Lincoln proposed an amend.
ment for abolition Of slavery in the
district He always supported the
Wilmot 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-
tiCn he failed to get. Instead he was
offered the governcrship of Oregon,
which he declined.
Returning to Springfield, Lincoln re-
sumed the practice Of law. meanwhile
closely watching the signs Sof 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, comnromise in 1854, and enter
ed actively into the canvass of that
year. In this memorable campaign
he was Dittcd against Stephen A.
Douglas. the Little Giant" The first
debate between the two men was at
the state fair, in October. before a

| 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 Eincoln had finished,
much to say" Thereafter the Little
Giant" kept out 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 40 votes for the
vice-presidency on the ticket with
John c. Fremont When the choice
of the ticket fell upon Fremont and
Dayton as the standard-bearers of the
new party. Lincoln entered earnestly
into the campaign. He had a repu-
tation as a 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.

than 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 vas ma

speak in other states. In May. 1859,
the Republican party of Illinois de-

the presidential nomination of 1860.
In September he addressed audiences
