RAHAM LINCOLN.
IN AecounI With R. W. DilIer,

Mr. Diller is dead. His son, Isaac Diller is the owner of the property. The drug store has passed to the hands of Wm. A. Claypool, who sells liquor, and lots of it, by the bottle. Mr. Diller was offered $500 for the account book in question, which he refused. He will keep it as a record while he lives and will sell it 10 the National Library when he dies.
 The paid Prohibition orators cannot make Abraham Lincoln ridiculous nor can they stul- fy him. They can only stulify themselves when they attempt to grab the mantle of Lincoln and drape it over the grinning skele- ton of Prohibition, for Prohibition never pro hibited and never will, and no man of the brain calbre of Abraham Lincoln ever be- lieved that Prohibition could or would prohibit or ever anywhere made any statement to that effect OFairbanks Daily News-Miner, July l2 l916)

ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS NOT A
PROHIBITIONIST

An effort has been made to prove that Abraham Lincoln was a ProhibitiOnist, but the record shows that the Great Emancpator like Washington, was not only not Prohb- tioniSt but a moderate user of intoxicating I- Quor.
 Quoting from Nicolay Hay (vol Iv. p 2SD;
 Lincoln wrote as follows Oct. 1, 1858 (among his noted Speeches) "l am not for the people of the whole nation DOING JUST AS THEY PLEASE IN ALL MATTERS WHICH CONCERN THE WHOLE NATION; for that of each part doing just as they choose in all matters which concern no other part; and for each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else"
 In speech delivered at Columbus Ohio, September l6, 1857 (Nicoay & Hay, Vol. V, D. l49), Lincoln said:
 ''I think a definition of popular Sover- eignity' in the abstract would be about that each man shall do precisely as he pleaSes WITH HIMSELF AND WITH ALL THOSE THINGS WHICH EXCLUSIVELY CONCERN HIM: that a general government shall do all those things that pertain to 1t, and all local governments shall do precisely as they desire in those matters which exclusively concern It.
 Whitney in his Life on the Circuit with n lJ.
 To Lincolns practical mind the bus- ness and object of the army was to fight and not to review. entrench and organize as the end in view. He was always saying to Me Clellan YOU MUST ACT When he found that Grant would fight as a fixed rule of ac- ton. that atoned in his opinion for all Grants minor delinquenceS Some philanthropstS came to Lincoln with horror depicted upon their countenances while Grant was in the wilderness to protest against the appalling sac rfice of life. Lincoln listened to their protests, but all he would reply was, with a shrug of his shoulders HE FIGHTS At information that Grant was drunk at an important en- gagement, having been known to have several jugs of whiskey at headquarters, Lincoln responded
 ~I WISH I COULD SEND EACH OF OUR GENERALS A JUG OF THAT SAME WHIS- KEY"
 We will present herewith copy of an historical document. still in existence and which can be produced at Springfield Illinois, at any time. It is a copy of the account taken from a ledger formerly kept by R. W. Diller, who during LincolnS time ran a drug store at that point The intrinsic value of the page is based on the fact that anything concerning the immortal statesman is regarded with rev erence by every citizen who appreciates the doctrine of personal rights which was Lln- coln's doctrine. It has been contended by many prohibitionists that Mir. Lincoln was a Prohbtionst, and furthermore when he was quoted as having said: Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance" he is being charged with something he did not utter In order to prove the claims of the disciples of personal liberty and personal rights that Mr. Lincoln not only opposed the doctrine of Prohibition but that occasionally he even took drink here are the contents of the page in the Diller Ledger:

with a lot of drugs that merely stop"
the cough temporarily by deadening the
throat nerves. Treat the cause-heal the

made remedy that gets right at the cause
and will make an obstinate cough vanish
more quickly than you ever thought pos
sible.

phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes,
thus ending the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com

for its healing effect on the membranes.
To avoid disappointment. ask your

France All transactions between the
