nation s Defense
NOT neglected,
PRESIDENT SAYS
Declares War Preparedness
Will Not Be For Occasion
But a Settled Plan
Sees new TASKS
FOR The COUNTRY

while we have worked at our
tasks Of peace the circumstances
of the whole age have been al
tered by war.
"We face new tasks-without
partisan feeling, like men who
have forgotten everything but
a common duty.
war has interrupted the
means of trade not only, but
also the processes of produc-
tion.
what interests us just now
is not the explanation. but the
fact and our duty and opportun-
ity in the presence of it.
"The United States, this great
people for whom we speak and
act, should be ready to serve
mankind.
I'VE have greatly erred In the
way In which VIC have stunted
and hindered the development
of our merchant marine.
1--WE have year after year de-
bated without end or conclusion
the best policy to pursue with
regard 10 the use of the ores
and forests and water powers.
I'VE have withheld by regu-
lation. Remedy and correct
these mistakes and omissions.
Times and circumstances are
extraordinary. so must our ef-
forts be also"
cat this point, the President
urged the passage by the SEN
ate of. the conservation meas
ures already approved by the
House)
GIVE a larger self-government
to the people Of the Philip
pines
"The government must open
our gates of trade to South
America. open them wide, be-
fore streams of merchandise
will flow through them.
And II must open them wide
before Il is altogether profitable
to open them-by many ships
and regular sailings and moder-
ate charges. before streams Of
merchandise will flow freely
and profitably through them.
1T is a matter of deep regret
that the great subject of rural
credits remains TO be dealt
with. but the difficulties of the
subject have rendered it impos-
sible to complete a bill for pas
sage at the present session.
(The President then appealed
for Philippine independence leg
islation and approval for the
plan of charting the Alaskan
coast.)
THE people of the United
States are not jealous of the
, amount the government costs.
"It Is not the expenditure but
} extravaganza that we should
fear being criticized for"
ITO defend ourselves against
attack? We have always found
means to do that and shall find
them whenever it is necessary
without calling our people away
from their necessary tasks to
render compulsory military SER
vice in times of peace.
"It is right that the National
Guard Of the United States
should be developed and
strengthened by every means
which are not inconsistent with
our obligations TO our people
and with the established policy
Of our government.
"Our policy (on war pre-
paredness) will not be for an
, occasion. It will be conceived
as a permanent and settled
, thing.
1--WE have not been negligent
of national defense. We are
not unmindful of the great re-
sponsibility resting upon us. We
shall learn and profit by the les
. son of every circumstance"

THURSDAY WAS HOLIDAY
GENERALLY OBSERVED

Thursday. February 18th. the United
States as a nation observed the day
ubol which Abraham Lincoln was born
q legal holiday by legislative enact
ment in North Dakota and most Of the
states in the Union. Many business
institutions, schools and colleges paid
a tribute to the memory of Abraham
Lincoln. the hero and martyr of the
Civil war.
Born in wretched poverty. an i'll
favored child. he gained his education
by the freight. taught school and
finally practived law. From the oh.
security Of his birth he was lifted by the
will of the people to the highest honor
in their power. Assuming the presi-
dency when the affairs of the country
were at q crisis. in the hour of crushing
responsibility. by his wisdom and firm
ness, through bitter civil strife, he pre-
served the Union and by the sovereign
stroke Of q pen abolished forever human
slavery in the United States.
A hero every minute of his life he
died a martyr to his country. a victim
Of the cowardly hand of an assassin.
The lesson from his life reaches all.
None are too high or too low. too rich
or too poor. too wise or too simple. toe
strong or too weak. not to be touched OF
influenced by the sublime lesson of the
life Of Abraham Lincoln. 1t is a story
of struggle, SORROW, achievement and
