The National Committee has
set apart October 2Sth as Wilson
day, as elimination of the ma
ton wide canvass of the country
for the people to show their APP
probation of the great public
service that the greatest of pres
idents has rendered the country.
Every city, town and hamlet will
celebrate the day, when a mes
sage will be read from President
Wilson by some prominent per-
son appointed locally for the
purpose, which will proclaim the
New Freedom and the enamel
patton of the country from the
domination Of Wall Street and
the selfish interests. Business
houses, residences, homes and
other buildings will display the
flag and other bunting. It is
going to be great day and a fit
ting forerunner Of the glorious
triumph Of Democracy ten days
later. Let everybody celebrate
Wilson Day and register his APP
proval of the many splendid
achievements of the consecrated
man in the White House, all
great, but none greater than
that he has kept the country out
of war with honor and credit.

The bringing again of Hughes
to Kentucky and the injection of
the fiery Roosevelt into the
campaign here shows that the Re
publican leaders still have hopes
of carrying the old Common
wealth by appeals to passion and
cupidity, by abuse of Wilson and
the Democratic party and with
the tainted money that Wall
Street is supplying so lavishly,
They are reckoning in vain, how
ever. The Democrats are on To
their game and every man in
tends TO do his duty, which
spells republican defeat, labor
los and money wasted.

limited to no one section, men and
women of the South coming forward
with readiness equal to that OF thu
citizens of any other section in their
desire to pay tribute to tho memory
of Abraham Lincoln.
On the centenary OF Lincoln's birth,
February IL, 1909, the cornerstone Of
the beautiful granite memorial struc-
ture was laid by President Theodore
Roosevelt. on November Q, 1911, the
memorial was dedicated by President
Taft.
Cabin Barred to All.
Within the Lincoln memorial hall
resting upon It's original site is the
Lincoln cabin. Surrounding the cabin
is heavy bronze chain, for no one is
allowed TO enter its portals.
The memorial building itself stands
at the head of broad flight OF gran
ite steps that lead from an old spring.
Over the entrance of the building is
inscribed the following
Here over the log cabin in which
Abraham Lincoln was born, destined
TO preserve the union and free the
slave. grateful people have dedicated
this memorial to unity, peace and
brotherhood among these states.
Upon the walls of the interior are
cut the Gettysburg speech and the
Lincoln ancestry. Beneath the build

log farmhouse. nearly as old as tina

The farm itself is divided by turt~-
pike which leads directly from the
square at Hodgenville, where the ped
estal of the Lincoln statue by Vein
man points the way to Lincoln's birth
place. The road where it passes
through the farm is flanked by an old
fashioned worm fence made Of rails
such as Lincoln himself split.

Rather harmonious households they
make too, far more so than would be
expected under the circumstances of
intermingling. II there arc exceptions
to this miscellaneous method Of dis
posing Of the men, they are few and
far between and not noticeable.
II has been demonstrated that the
intensive method Of citizen training
has extremely productive qualities so
far as providing material for the
making Of an army The men who
have passed through one training
camp can no longer be called raw, and
1t takes no more than two camps in
succession to sift those who have no
aptitude for command from those who
will make at least n-commissioned
officers.
The factor Of the officers reserve
corps presents perhaps the most in
ieresting problem in the elaboration
Of an army system to avoid the neces-
sity for large standing army. Just
what kind OF an officer can be made
out Of a citizen without interfering
with his regular mode Of life and oc-
cuDation and by taking only small
portion of his time annually remains
to be seen. Another year Of training

last seems to be the prevailing army
view today-apparently based on the
lesson of the European war, that
neither this nor any other country can
support an army large enough to serve
the purpose in a great war. whether
Of offense or defense, conducted in ac-
cordance with modern methods.
