Linc0inIs ~ nst Snench ~

On the twenty-ninth of May, in 1856,
Lincoln made speech at the first
Republican state convention in Illinois

Speech" Lincoln, who was one of the
delegates, was suggested for governor,
but he proposed that William Bissell
should be nominated instead. The sug-
gestion was accepted and Lincoln adj
dressed the convention for one hour,
speaking with such fire and eloquence
that the surprised and interested re-
porters forgot to take notes and his
great speech was never recorded.

A BETTER MAN
Disabled Weaver, Prepares for Tex
lie Engineer, Under Government
Training


Training
WASHINGTON, July 18--A
young Syrian, twenty four years old,
left his weavers bench to fight for
his adopted country. He was injur-
ed by hand grenade, which necessi-
tated the amputation of his leg above
the knee. With the educational back
ground he had acquired from four
years spent III a Russian school and
five years in an English school and
his experience as Il weaver, the ad-
vlsors of the Federal Board for Vo-
cational Education thought a course
in textile designing would be just
the thing. The young Syrian agreed
to the suggestion and started in at
the Lowell Textile school on Feb
ruary 18th. Because of the superb
GRITTY Of his work in design and his
mental capacity, his instructors have
recommended four years course for
him. Nassib Haddad plans to study
the general subjects in which he is
deficient during the summer months,
in order to take the full course next
fall. His teachers predict for him
successful career as textile engineer
after his graduation.
Proper direction and training bring
out unthought of ability in many of
the boys being reeducated by the
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation.

Cynicisn,

We are reminded that resentment
doubt and cynicism are so easily mis-
taken for the wisdom of disillusion-
ment that there is double reason
to guard against them. Many a hurt
soul fancies it is growing wise in the
ways of the world when in truth it Is
only growing hard and bitter. An
acquaintance with mankind does not
mean merely learning humanity's seamy
side and being on guard against it. A
wider study will bring a far different
and more hopeful knowledge.

Pauline Frederick's finest cinema
achievement is found in her new
Goldwyn picture, "The Fear Wom-
an" This picture is a brilliant eX-
ample of the new order of art photo
play production. Not only is the play
vivid, absorbing, compelling-a hui
man document Of remarkable fidelity
to lifc-but Pauline Frederick herself
declares that never before has she
been enabled so fully to express trag-
ic emotions, nor to be so freely her
self with such satisfying results on
the screen. She is essentially a new
Pauline Frederick. Besides nalTat>
ing an appealing story which steadily
mounts to a tremendous climax, "The
Fear Woman" abounds in pictorial
beauty. No less than 80 superb in
terror settings are enjoyed in the
course of the drama and the star is
seen in % distinct changes of cos
tune. PhOtographically the play sets
a new standard in Goldwyn Pictures
and these merits, coupled with the ar
tistry of a faultless cast, all promise
unusual enjoyment to Pauline Fred
crick's nationwide legion of admir-
ors. Goldwyn announces "The Fear
Woman" for presentation at the
Globe Theatre today.
Shirley Mason, the diminutive Par

Rescuing Angel is a screen version
of Glare Knmmcrs play, in which
Billie Burke starred. The play has
been scenarioized by Edith Kennedy,
who kept Miss Mason in mind as the
heroine. Shirley, you see, is made
love to by two suitors, both of whom
have money, and an old boyhood low
er who mas no money and very little
brains, besides. When she turns the
old youthful idol down for one of
the men with money, he sees only one
reason; that she is marrying the man
for his wealth. It's a good theory,
and little tlattering to the boy, but
it's all wrong, William, it's all wrong.
But, after the cememony, the young

SOCIALISM IN AUSTRALIA

One Of the countries in which Social
istic propaganda has been most success
full is Australia. Australia has at
tempted to do many things through the
agency of the government which other
countries have avoided. and. li':c rlost
attempts Of this kind. Australia's en- .'rts
have proven costly. Among other things
the Australians have tried to operate
number Of businesses on Socialistic
basis. A clothing factory, operated by
the government last year. reported o
net profit Of $4,000. but had to record
a new borrowing from the public treas
ury to the extent Of $1,5Oo.00o. A
leather factory made a net profit At
$40, 900. and got $500. 900 from the treas
ury. A wooden factory made $75oG9
profit, but touched the taxpayers for
$3.50, 900. A government factory for tho
manufacture Of small arms showed .
loss OF $4,000 and called on the gov
eminent for s1.500.oo0. Government
factories in Australia. of course. suf-
fered from the same wasteful ccndi-
tions that attend government operation
elsewhere. Australia's experience how
ever, is not likely to advance the cause
Of Industrial Socialism.
