He told of the four noble women
whom Lincoln loved" One of them,i
Anne RutIedge. died between the time
of her enga cement to Lincoln and the
time set for her marriage to him. Two
others, Mary Owens and Sarah Rick
ard, loved by Lincoln in rapid success
sion, failed to return the affection and
re ejected him. And one other Mary
Todd whom he married.
L:rcoln's Political Offices.
Touching on the political life of the
great emancipator, Yates said that
there was no Office of public honor
which was too humble for Lincoln to
aspire to. Eis record shows that in
his life he held an even dozen political
offices, which Yates named as fol-
lows:
The ca ptaincy of militia company.
the postmastership of village. the
deputy surveyorship of a county, the
circuit judgeship. pro tenn: the office
of member of the legislature, the po-
sition of delegate to a convention. the
office of commissioner of the land Of
flee, the position of congressman, the
honorary position of presidential cleo
tor, the office of governor of a terri
tory. the position of secretary of ter
rltory. the United States senatorship,
and the presidency of the United
States-a round dozen political posi-
tions. one of which he held four times.
and number OF winch he held more
than once-Were all considered by him
worthy of his notice. and none of them
were considered unworthy of his as
piration and regard.
Letter From Queen Victoria.
In his peroration, Yates gave his
own personal opinion of the great
president following an expression of
his conviction that Mrs. Lincoln care
fully preserved the personal letter
Queen Victoria of England conveying
the condolences of one widow to
another shortly after the assa ssination
of the president.
Regarding Abraham Lincoln as !
do, not only as one of natures noble
men, but as one of the kingliest OF
men, in all the attributes of true king
ship. I will keep this little friendly
and anxious letter so long as L exist
for it is more than the letter of a
king" Yates said. There is not a
king upon the earth who would throw
it away, and I am just American
enough to not allow any 'effete mon
arch to surpass me in regard for ar
American nobleman-One of the
knightliest knights. and one of the
lordliest lords, who ever saw the light
of day.
''I would not be misunderstood
Abra ham Lincoln was not a 'politi-
cian in the discreditable acceptance
of that term. He was a politician in
the true sense of the term-a sense
which it should be the duty and the

A JOB FOR WILSON
Will Take Personal Charge of
Unemployment Situation.
Will Call in Governors in March
for Conference.

Washington, Feb. 12.-With Presi-
dent Wilson planning to take personal
charge of the unemployment situation
on his return from France, department
of labor officials have decided to call
a conference of governors early in
March, at which the president will
preside.
Showing the importance he attaches
to solving the problem Immediately,
the president has cabled his willing
ness to delay his return to France
few days in order to attend the con-
ference.
The general stagnation of industry
thruout the country with the resulting
unemployment will be the chief topic
of discussion, it is stated. Attention
will be given to the prevalence of
strikers, but labor officials are con-
fident many of these troubles can be
wiped out with a brisk resumption of
peace time industry.
During the last week, Roger w.
Babson, head of the information and
education service of the labor depart
ment, has wired all governors asking
| them whether they would attend the
conference and practically unanimous
acceptance has been received. In ex-
pressing approval of the plan, all
urged that immediate action be taken,
claiming the situation was fast grow
! ing serious.
Talks of the Conference.
In explaining the conference Bab-
son wrote:
Representatives of the federal gov
ernment could explain what can best
! be done to relieve the immediate sit
uation. The question of resuming pri-
vate construction and the stimulation
! of business in general should also be
fully discussed, including price tend
encies and the attitude of labor"
Believing that building is one of the
basic industries of the country, Bah
son has made a survey of the reasons
why it is not being resumed.
More than 500 opinions have been
received and in the main high costs OF
materials are held to be the main OBJ
stacle. In the central west freight
rates are said to be exerting an injur-
| ious influence. Congress comes in for
| its share of blame, while others charge
| the financial interests with the respon-
sibility.
Don't expect private capital tc
/ build merely for the sake of furnish
ing work" writes a Buffalo authority
/ That's e government obligation
/ Construction work is impeded by the
unreasonable demands of labor" SAYS
a Lincoln. Neb., letter. The one
| thing the building public wants tc
know. is the cost of building today a.
compared with the next three or five
! years" D ST. Louis man states.
