GREAT LINCOLN MEMORIAL IN
HEART OF CUMBERLANDS
By BRIGGS

, OF modern life than the immigrants
from Europe or the negroes of the
South They still live, as it were in
bygone age. Their customs, their
speech and their mannerisms are those
Iof the era before Daniel Boone en-
plored his way westward, and their
outlook on life little changed from the
days of Lincolns boyhood.
Lincoln Type Not Extinct
So, the Lincoln type is still there;
the mound is not broken. The monu-
tains that looked down on his early
struggles for an education could tell
of battles against poverty and circum-
stances of birth waging to this day
by just such mountain youths as his
tory pictures Lincoln to have been, to
lift themselves from illiteracy.
1t is said that the great career of
Lincoln hinged on the fact that he
had access to six books. Children in
the public schools are told that at
the beginning of his fight for learning,
! he would study for hours by the light
of blazing pine knot when the days
work was done.
sober visaged, ungainly boy,
sprawled on the cabin floor poring
over borrowed books by the light of
the fireplace; that is the picture most
of us bring TO mind when we contem-
plate Lincoln's early days.
! To-day, in that very region young
men no more fortunately situated than
was Lincoln, are emnlating his exam
pie, spurred by the same restless fires
of ambition and indomitable will their
mountaineer stock has given them in
common with the great man they fol-
| low.
The future Lincoln University will
| be far greater and more widely known

by some of the foremost men of the
country, to secure for it an endowment
OF -$1,OOO,000 and make it what Lin
coin would have wished to see it; the
gateway to learning for every noun
tain boy and girl, the avenue of escape
from the doom of ignorance and stag
nation.

THE GERMAN PURPOSE

n S the situation growing out OF
"A the break with Germany grows
more and more tense the con-
viction is being forced home in many
minds that there may be method in
the madness of the Kaiser. 1t is be-
lieved by many that the embodiment
of the United States in the great world
Germany, perhaps would result in
benefit to that country when the show
down comes at the close of the war.
In other words Germany would
prefer to have the United States sit
ting at the table VIXEN q final settle
ment of the struggle is under discus
sion. Germany probably has figured
that Uncle Sam would be more lenient
in his treatment of the Kaiser than
the other belligerents.
This fits in with a theory that Ger
many made the promise to cease her
submarine warfare last May with the
definite purpose of Withdrawing her
pledge when a sufficient number of
submarines were ready for the circle
now being drawn around England.
Whether this theory has any basis or
not it is one of the interesting features
of a discussion which is going on
everywhere regarding the purpose of
Germany in batting the United States
to a break and the more serious
eventuality OF war.

COMMUNITY CENTERs

CENATOR CHARLES A. SNYDER
y is to be commended for his eff
forts to improve not only the
schools fo Pennsylvania, but also TIE
conditions which affect the local COM
munities of the State. His bill, which
embodies the hopes and aims of civic
organizations which have been trying
to make the schools in cities and
towns real community centers and
meeting places at night, has been ap-
proved wherever it's provisions are
understood. There ought to be no
doubt about the passage of such q
measure and it should go through with
the support of every legislator.
For years and years the discussion
of a wider use of school property has
proceeded without any very definite
results. Now the people are becom-
ing aroused to the importance of
utilizing the buildings which for
school purposes are so little used dur
ing tie year. Under the Snyder bill
school boards would be required to
estimate the amount of money need
ed for the additional use of the build
ings fer community purposes and to
authorize tax of not more than two
tenths of a mill on the assessed valua-
ton every year providing such action
is authorized or required by a popular
vote.
Two or three years ago the TeIe-
graph started a community center
movement with the aid and support
of some excellent citizens in Harris
burg and for a time the Camp Curtin
building was utilized in this way, but
owing to tie lack of funds the work
was abandoned. Since that time there
has been an increasing interest in the
community center idea and with
President Stamm and his associates
on the school board heartily in favor
of anything and everything which will
enhance the welfare of the people
there is a chance for real community
effort through the measure proposed
by Senator Snyder.

.HE mountain folk of Cumberland
Can Where Kantl1clsN Nlreinia

TIME mountain folk of Cumberland
Gap, where Kentucky, Virginia
and Tennessee touch sides in the
midst of the wild and rugged Appala-
chians, are going to lead the country
this year in honoring the birthday of
Lincoln.
They are going to lead; for theirs
| is the right to lead; they are his own
people. They will be hosts to the
rest of the nation on February 10, IL,
and II, when hundreds of notable men
and women from every state in the
Union gather at Lincoln Memorial Uni
versity. Cumberland Gap, to pay hom-
age to the mountain boy, railsplitter,
country lawyer, President and martyr.
1t will probably be the greatest
Lincoln memorial celebration within
the generation. In the midst of the
giant hills that once echoed back the
words of Henry Clay, of Calhoun and
Andrew Jackson, in bygone political
barbecues, noted men from East and
West, North and South governors,
senator's, preachers, educators, leaders
! in commerce and in science will
| gather to take new thought of the
great lesson of his life.
Historical Memories
1t is safe to say that those who will
make the pilgrimage, the experience
will be like turning back the pages
of American history to that chapter
in ante bellum days during which the
Great Emancipator was a typical noun
tain youth. For he was typical of that
rugged, picturesque, lough-hewn coun-
| try.
The cabins that still dot the noun
tain sides have their Lincolns and
IIankses to this day, and, while the
world all about them has been strid-
ing forward from rail-splitting and
mule riding; from candles and home
spun, they have not kept the pace.
They are isolated, apart from the
world and though a race whose ances-
try can be traced back in unbroken
! lines to colonial times, they know less
of the conveniences and opportunities

out of a job started out to "sell some
thing" The theory of business was
that if you built the best mousetrap
Gated in the midst of a deep forest
the world would wear pathway to
your door. But not all mousetraps
were the best in the world and it took
long time for the world to wear the
path to his plant, so the wise manu-
.factprer began to wear paths from
Lis door, and he assigned statesmen to
do that work. Naturally he wanted
good men for the jobs and-so 1t has
come about that many of the very
high salaried men in the world are
statesmen. The manufactured product
lies useless on the shelf unless some
body sells 1t, and the manufacturer
whose sales force is livest sells most
goods.
But salesmanship goes farther than
that. The owner of a manufacturing
plant is salesman If he shares in the
formulation of his selling policies. The
president of railroad company is O
salesman if he exercises supervision
over the sale of it's services. The ef-
ficient advertiser is a salesman of the
highest type, although he may not
once in year come into actual touch
with the people wko buy his goods.
All salesmanship, however, is based
on the same general principles and
qualifications, although methods may
differ widely, and on the success or
failure of it's salespeople any estab-
lishment must rise or fall. 1t is not
difficult to understand, therefore, why
salesmanship clubs are popular. All
statesmen have the same common
problems and the study of human ma
ture is not the least of them. Asso-
citation, the exchange of ideas and eX-
periences and an occasional discus
sion of some pressing problem by an
expert in his line cannot be other
than beneficial. There is room in
Harrisburg for such an organization
as is planned and there is little doubt
of the success of the movement now
under way.

The Mississippi Comes Back"

LFrom Memphis Commercial Appeal. I
The word comes down from the steel
and mining centers along the Ohio
river that great revival in river
transportation Is to be seen on the Mis-
sissippi river during the present year.
For one thing, a great increase in coal
towing to the southern territory is to
be opened up, and for this purpose
alone many steel barges are now under
construction at Ambridge, Pa, where
located.
Congestion of rail facilities, the sur
prising cheapness of water transporta-
tion and the nearing of the time for the
expiration of long-term rail contracts
are said to be the reasons for the re-
ported reawakening of river transport
tation. One industrial concern at
Pittsburgh. which moved coal by its
own fleet, did 1t at one-eighth the rail
cost

1T appears to me that klamath

spot for this that can be found. Fur
farming has been made q prosperous

Klamath county is better fitted for
this than Alaska.
"Our winters are cold enough and
long enough to make this work feas-

There is plenty OF land In this

the county for such an industry. and
the land can be secured from the gov.
ernment very reasonably. for little or
no cost to one desiring to use It for
this purpose.
II would certainly like to see some

would be good money In II. and It will
probably become a live industry In
