LNCOLN's
BIRTHDAY

greatest men in the history OF the
United States, as we'll as one of the
greatest men in the history of the
world.
For tomorrow, Saturday February
18th, is the one hundred and seventh
anniversary of the birth of Abraham
Lincolu-the man of obscure parent
age, who at the age of 21 had but
a year of schooling, whose only books
had been Pilgrims Progress, the BIZ
BILE. and a few volumes of Shake
speare-the boy who split rails to
obtain money to get. him the jeans
cloth. dyed with bark dye, from
which his Sunday "breeches" were
made---the boy who had the courage
of his expressed convictions-the boy
who rose to the highest office within
the gift of the people-President of
the United States.
So well known is the history OF the
great Lincoln that only his name is
needed row to recall to mind all that
was dear and now revered in a man
by a people His one-time enemies,
now grown old and nearing the end
of their earthly careers, have long
since come to know the man Lincoln,
and now truly appreciate and revere
the character of the onee-hated
and reviled Yankee President"
One of the chief regrets of the
|Southerner who has discerned what
Abraham Lincoln might and would
have accomplished is the fact that
his hfe was brought to an end so
soon, thus preventing that great mind
from dealing with the embarrassing
land disgraceful conditions that came
in the first years after the close of
the war. No one doubts, had Lincoln
been at the head of the government
the days of reconstruction would pre-
sent to the reader of history vastly
different aspect, and the vanquished
brother in the South would have felt
none Of the indignities that Swere
thrust upon him In the days of the
officious carpet-bagger.
All the terrible days and their af-
termath have gone into history. and
out OF It, after all, looms big and
grand, self-sacrificing. honest and
tender, the character of one man.
There were others on both sides.
whose names will ever grace the
pages of our history. But there is
none whose memory is and will be
more generally honored than that
of Lincoln.
