A STUDY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

1t has been said of Lincoln that he

achieved his masterful grip upon the
intelligence Of the world, not alone
because he had extraordinary natural
endowments, but because he had an
Unsuitable interest in realities, and
never allowed a book or a formula to
obscure the sunlight Of q living fact"
A great many people are inclined to
look upon Abraham Lincoln as q mar
velous being. raised up for a divine
purpose, and endowed with sublime
attributes which are not bestowed
upon ordinary mortals. Yet II we an
alyze his character we find 1t made
up of the humblest virtues. the most
ordinary human qualities.
It was his incorruptible manhood.
his answering honesty. his love of
truths, his adherence to what he be-
lieved to be right in the face Of all
temptations and difficulties, that, more
than all else. made him the sublime
character he was.
Lincoln never shrank from espous-
ing an unpopular cause when he be-
lieved 1t to be right. At the time
when 1t almost cost a young lawyer
his bread and butter to defend the
fugitive slave. and when other law
yers had refused, Lincoln would al.

ORDERED FOR THE

Definite steps have been taken by
the navy in carrying out its aviation
program, which was outlined with the
army's plans in the February issue of
this magazine. Secretary Daniels re-
Gently approved a contract for the con-
struction of the first dirigible to be
built for the navy. This, it is expect
ed, will be delivered in September at
the Pensacola, Fla, aeronautic station,
where it will be used particularly for
experimental and training purposes.
The craft will be IT'S feet in length,
SIS feet in heigth, and of 10000 Gu. it.
gas capacity. 1t will be capable of
carrying eight men, will have a speed
of approximately rs miles an hour,
and, when loaded to its capacity, a
radius of action of about two hours.
This, however, can be increased by
lesening the number of occupants and
replacing their weight with gasoline.
The contract price of the craft is S45,-
636.
Two new flying boats of the Curtis
type have been delivered to the navy
of late, while three Burgess machines
are to be ready this summer. Bids
for three additional craft are to be
asked Immediately. The armored
cruiser North Carolina, which spent
the winter in the Mediterranean, is to
become the new aviation ship, after it
has been thoroughly overhauled, and
will be stationed at Pensacola.-Pop-

WH|SKEY AND
AUTOMOBILES

Probably there is no way in which
to prevent a liquor drinker form driv-
ing an automobile when drunk. Laws
cannot enforce themselves; no law can
prevent a drinking man from owning
a machine. 1t is fortunate when no
innocent ~passerby is killed, and the
toll Of death is taken from those who
have deliberately risked their necks in
a drunken ride.
Among the reasons for the prohibi-
ton Of the manufacture and sale of
liquor is this fact. A ~projectile
weighing from one to two tons is
hurled along the public highway at
anywhere from Is to so miles an hour,
endangering the lives Of other trav-
elers who have no mean Of protec-
ton, as we'll as the passengers them
selves. 1t is another instance of the
high voltage age in which we + liv-
ing which requires measures CT pro-
lection different from the simpler
days.
1t is the business of society to make
the roads and streets safe and there is
no way to prevent drinking and drunk
en- men from driving automobiles, let's
put an end to the entire liquor drink
ing business as a means of public safe
ty. There's hardly a neighborhood OF
community but has some terrible acct
dent resulting from the combination
of liquor and an automobile.-Fargo
