.IZWCOLN STATUE At HODGENV/LLE, kH)

When President Wilson delivered his
speech at Hodgesville, KY, on Labor
Day he liquidated a New York state
corporation. He went to the birth
place Of Abraham Lincoln to accept
from the Lincoln Farm association the
nation memorial which this patriotic
society had placed there and the en-
dowment that went Herewith. When
this was done the whole plan and pur-
pose of this organization incorporated
under the laws of New York was done.
Twelve years ago Richard Lloyd
Jones, then associate editor Of Col
lier's Weekly and now editor Of the
Wisconsin State Journal, as a student
of the life Of Lincoln, visited the birth
place of Lincoln in the heart of Ken
lucky. He found the property in sad
state of neglect and involved in court
litigation of wealthy New York res
taurant owner who had few years
before bought the property, taking the
cabin from it's original site to exhibit

it at various fairs and expOsitions

1t at various fairs and expositions
around the country, including the Chi
cago worlds fair, the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo and the worlds
fair at st. Louis. On that visit he con-
celved the idea of restoring the cabin
to its original site and building over
and above it an enduring granite men,
orial which would protect it from the
devastation of weather for centuries
to come. He believed that if this
could be done the story of Lincoln's
first home would find it's way into the
school readers Of the country and be a
constant source Of inspiration to Am
erican youths. He believed that this
should be done by the people them
selves and not through the generous
donation of any one rich man. A year
later Mr.: Jones returned to Hodgen-
vile to bid in this farm under the auc-
TONER'S hammer. He interested Mr..
Robert J. Collier of New York in his
idea, and they, with Clarence H. Mac
kay, the president of the Postal Tele-
graph company, organized the Lincoln
Farm association, opening offices in
New York city from which they made
an appeal for contributions to the
people of the country, issuing a GER
tificate of membership in the associa-
ton to all who contributed Is cents
or more. In this way over 100000
Americans gave over 100000 for the
work: Joseph H. Folk, then governor
OF Missouri. was made president Of
the association. On the 18th day of
February, 1909, the centennial of Lin
coins birth, President Roosevelt laid
the cornerstone of the memorial build
ing. On the 9th day Of November,
1911, President Taft dedicated the
completed memorial. That this nation
al shrine might permanently belong
to the people of the United States the
Lincoln Farm association asked the
government to accept is as gift, to-
gether with its very ample endowment
fund. A bill was recently introduced
IN congress authorizing the acceptance
of this gift, which bill promptly passed
both the house Of representative and
the senate by unanimous vote and
was signed by President Wilson on the
18th day of July, Three presidents
having visited this memorial estab
fishes precedent. It is expected that
some national service will be held at
the birthplace shrine during each pres
idential administration and every pres
ident Of the United States will pay
his tribute to the great Lincoln from
the terraced steps of this memorial
building on the pediment Of which is
inscribed the Legend
"Here, over the Log Cabin where
Abraham Lincoln was born destined to
preserve the Union and to free the
Slave, grateful people have dedicat-
ed this memorial to unity, peace and
brotherhood among these states"

ANOTHER TOWN TO SPRING UP

Another town is likely to spring up
near Plaza, as result of the fact that
the 500 Line extension that will run
across Mckenzie county, branches
from the Plaza line about half mile
from the present town of Plaza.
Two bank charters have been ap-
piled for, and three building sites for
elevators have been leased already in
anticipation of the resumption of
work by the 500 road.

THE TURN OF THE HARDING TIDE.

Mr.. Harding's canvass received a
serious blow in the detection Of Paul
Stillman and the Jefferson Bee. It may
be we'll enough to explain that the
Jefferson Bee has heen owned and con-
trolled by the Stillman's, fathers and
sons and brothers, very much as the
old State Register was owned and con-
trolled by the Clarksons and that the
newspaper and the family have been
rockribbed republicans thru all the
years. Paul Stillman, now proprietor
of the Bee, is a member Of the state
board OF education. former speak
er Of the house Of representatives.
the redemtive candidate for con-
gress most likely to succeed F. P.
Woods In the Tenth district, a man
of great political influence and a force
for good government at home and
abroad thru the state Of Iowa. SO
when Stillmaa and the Jefferson Bee
stand up in open meeting and de-
nounce the republican candidate as
unfit and demand his withdrawal IN
the interests Of the party and in con-
formity with its principles and its is
sues and it's history it is as tho the
Clarksons and the old State Register
had made similar remuneration and 4
similar demand thirty years ago. Men
like Stilman and newspapers like the
Jefferson Bee do not lightly take steps
so revolutionary. The reasons were
strong and sufficient
1t is another evidence that the turn
ing point has been reached. 1t is idle
to accuse Stillman Of personal mo-
tives behind the stand Of the Bee, as
idle as the similar accusations brought
aagInst the Times Republican and
other newspapers who repudi1ted
Harding from the beginning and pre-
dIcted with fatal accuracy the situa-

ton his nomination would bring about.
The quarrel between Gardner Cowles
and the candidate affords a peg where
on to hang insinuation and false
charges against that particular news
paper. charges that none in possession
of the facts in the case gives the
slightest credence. Those who know
the Harding political outfit are salts
fed tina; if Cowles were willing to
trade support for place on any board
or commission within the gift or in !
iiuence of Harding he would be sit
ting there snugly today. But the
Cowles case doesn't fit other news
papers Of repute and influence that
have repudiated Harding as repub-
lican candidate. Neither does it apply
to thousands of republicans who an
nounced their detection coincdent with
the news that Harding had been put

Judgment on Harding. He has as
sisted that judgment by his own shift

sembly with him. He knows him,
Stiliman plead with him to make
a definite statement. demanded some
such statement thru the Bee. stating
that the Bee desired to support the
republican candidate and failing to ge:
anything but evasion finally broke the
family traditions and repudiated him.
And that is what thousands of repub--
licans are doing and will do henceforth
to election day. The Harding tide has
turned. Henceforth it is an ebb tide
The outlook is that it will leave him
stranded as il recedes.
The Bee says il is a revolt. 1t IS
more than that. 1t is defense of the
moral history of the republican party
of Iowa: 1t is stand for party integ-
rity. There is nothing personal in it.
1t Is not an assault upon Harding but
defense against an attack upon the
citadel Of Iowa republicanism and the
continued good repute and ascendency
of the party.
