ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Yesterday WAS the ll0th anniversary
Of the birth Of Abraham Lincoln.
"Surely. if ever there were an oeca
sion when the heightened imagination
of the historian might see Destiny
yisjbly intervening in human affairs.
here was a knot worthy of her shears,
!, an EXPRESSION Of James Russell Low
ell. discussing the political conditions
of 1860 in his essay. Abraham Lin
colin" And again in his essay we find
Mr.. Lowell saying:
IAN that was known of him was
that he was cool stump speaker,
nominated for his val b Int y.
We repeat these expressions Of the
famed man of letters. who lived through
that period when the Great Emanei-
pator wrought to preserve united the
nation, because of their similarity to
conclusions of an article in another
column Of this weeks Glacier. Des-
tiny may be playing her hands around
us every day, but it is left to those
who follow us to estimate the effects
and results # those plays.
And thus, through the "reminiscences
Of MIR. Smith. who brings to US today
80 graphic description of the memor-
able Republican convention at Chicago
in 1860. We are permitted to see how
action of an Oregon delegate to the
convention perhaps made possible the
realization Of Lincoln's availability. So
from the period of state hood infancy,
Oregon has played an important part
in the affairs Of the nation. When the
Chicago convention convened, Oregon
was but little over year old as a
state.
We would like to repeat here, not
forgetting Oregon's part in the shuttle
Of Destiny, the closing paragraph of
Lowelfs essay and tribute:
"On the day of his death, this sim
pie Western attorney. was the
most absolute ruler in Christendom,
and this solely by the hold his good
humoied sagacity had laid on the
hearts and understandings of his
countrymen. Nor was this all, for it
appeared that he had drawn the great
majority, not only of his fellow citi-
zens, but of mankind also. to his side
So strong and so persuasive is honest
manliness without single quality of
romance or unreal sympathy to help 1t
A civilian during times of the most
captivating military achievement, awk.
ward with no skill in the lower tech
niealties of manners, he left behind
him fame beyond that of any con.
queror. the memory of a grace higher
than that of outward person, and of a
gentlemanliness deeper than that of a
any breeding. Never before that
startled April morning did such multi.
tudes of men shed tears for the death
of one they had never seen. as if with
him friendly presence had been taken
away from their lives, leaving them
colder and darker. Never was funeral
panygeric so eloquent as the silent
look of sympathy which strangers
exchanged when they met on that day.
Their common manhood had lost a
hnsman.

WRESTLING WITH The FLU

The tlu germ is a treacherous micro
seopic brute. He likes to catch you
when you're not looking. While the
epidemic was at its worst and when
the moment for you to become vie.
tim was most logical, he passed you by
and entertained himself by visitation
on all your neighbors, Perhaps you
had been making diligent use Of some
pet germcidal solutions, and INDUCED
daily in mad garglings of the oral cav
ity and had sprayed so numerously and
effectively those mucous producing,
mysterious depths back Of the roof Of
your mouth and around the base of
your nose that your olfactory senses
had almost ceased to function.
Anyhow, the flu germ had passed you
by. You grew bold and laid your i'm.
munity to your precautionary meas
ures. You told how you had prevented
it. You recounted those methods in
which you had grown skilled in the
application Of germ-klling solutions.
I've prevented it," you would say,
and there was almost boast in your
assertion, but at the same time you
nursed a bruised spot on your hand
from oft-repeated knocking on wood.
And then the health officer was get
ting ready to close his reports. For
three weeks he had been saying, at $
on the wnne And then well, YOU
began vain fight against the inevita.
BILE You said to yourself that it was
Just light cold that would soon be
gone. but the truth finally dawned
the flu had you-y.o Il.
And when II gets you, become as a
lamb The i'u likes nothing better than
to conquer roaring lion. 1t can
make sheep like the roarngest victim
in less than two days. So just become
resigned. do exactly what the doctor
says. thank God for help of kind neigh.
bors, and in a week or two the flu has
flown from whence it came or on to
another victim. And you have been
initiated into that great fraternity the
members Of which will enliven many
days of 1919 relating experiences of the
campaign in which they fought against
Spanish influenza.

Boys Of the 65th. with your almost
superhuman endeavors and the part
you played in fastening the capitula-
tion of the hun. you have won the
nation $ pride. But we of Hood River,
along with other sections of Oregon
and the Pacific Cosat, consider you as
our own. For US there is Joy in your
homecoming. You have proved your
worth as men and soldiers. This
statement of the record you have made

UNLESS the small boys who have been
in the habit of coasting down the steep
incline on Twelfth street stop this
practice at once serious accidents or
even the toll of human lives may re-
suit. Sunday, while coasting down
the middle Of the street, two little
boys were in the pathway of an auto
mobile. ard were it not that the car
was going at slow speed and the drivel
able to come to stop by slammlng on
the brakes both might have been
killed. Even then one lad was badly
hurt. Parents should heed this caution
il their children have been taking
these hazardous risks. Especially dan
gerous is the sharp turn on State
street, which the coasters make at
high speed, often barely missing auto
mobiles about to make the start up the
grade, and continuing down State
street and on down town. where they
interfere with traffic and often mar
rowly avert accidents.

The weather of the past week has
not been conducive to planning for out
of door work. but it is none too early
for planning the victory garden. The
fertile soil of no single vacant lot in
Hood River should be allowed to re-
main untitled this summer. All Of us
like recreation. It's a necessity and
healthful, but we may not be able to
pay the way of sports open to others
The little vacant lot garden offers a
recreation that is selfsustaining and it
is game that is Just as interesting as
any ever played

Turkey Proceeded to Attend to the
ArmenianS
BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT

NOW why the need of money for the Arnc-
mans? You know their story9 Abdul lialnid was
the Sultan OF Turkey. lie was the Sggeet-Scented
Dld1gdnG! who III 1896 deliberately directed the
killing OF 100000 Armenians. Who are the Ar
menians? They are one of the oldest Christian
peoples in the world. They lived in a province that
lies north OF Mesopotama, east OF Asia Minor,
west OF Persia and south OF the Black Sea 1t is
province OF mountains and valleys-not only
rich but fertile 800 700 Arnenians lived in that
country, cutlvatlng the valleys and made them
blossom as the rose The Turks hated them be-
cause they were Christians hated them because
they were INDUSTRIOUS and enjoyed the prosperity
that comes from industry
Later when Turkey entered the great Euro
pean war as the ally Of Germany she invited
German officers into her army. Her army was
shortly othcered by German officers, who directed
that army to 60 into Armenia and deport 8Oo-
600 Armenlans, which they did 600 900 escaped
The other 100000 were driven by that army
to the desert of Mesopotama and Syria, and in
the drive the army deliberately killed men, women
and children, by rifle ball, by bayonet by knife,
by driving them over precipices by driving them
into deep running rvers-6oo,ooo men, women
and childrenl Half of them were deported to
Asia and half to Mesopotamia Out of those de-
.orted nearly 100000 died of starvation
Then Germany turned the Caucasus over to
Turkey; Turkey proceeded to attend to the Ar
menlans-in that kindly, fatherly way! That is
the story!
A friend of mine who was on the border of
Persia told me that he had gone to German
officer and said For Gods sake, can't YOU stop
the butchery of these men, women and chdren?'
and the German officer clicked his heels together
and said Stand back, the time for mercy has
passed.
This is the story Of that unfortunate people
The Syrians, Greeks and Jews in Western Asia
have suffered the same kind of barbaric treat
ment. The Armenian and Syrian Relief has been
organized for some years to care for these unior-
tunate, sorely distressed people. 1t has received
and most efficiently expended more than $l,,-
100000. Each cent that you give will 90 for
actual relief Feeble, helpless, starving millions

your bounty.
