WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY, IL.
LINCOLN THE PIONEER.

l.
The frontier precptated and won the Civil
War. The commercial draining of the northwest
through the Erie Canal and the railroads to the
Atlantic seaboard rather than to the Gulf Of
Mexico decided the election of 1860 and the re-
sulting military struggle.
The conflict for the free land of the frontier
made the war inevitable. The undivided west was
the common property that laid the foundation OF
''the union forever, and inseparable."
It was the democratic, individualistic spirit of
the frontier that revolted from human slavery.
That spirit liberty everywhere; in the forest
clad hills, in the ripping reaches of the prairie,
and, most of all, in the continuous enfranchising
conquest of natural forces.
Lincoln was the incarnation of the frontier.
He was the elimination of its spirit of equal
struggle for individual development. Because
the frontier was an ideazed competitive system
Lincoln was the apotheosis of that system, ex-
pressing all that was best and free from its most
4 evident defects
Lincoln directed his hatred against whatever
restricted mans freedom to develop or hampered
the voice and impulse of the individual in So
ciety.
The poverty he knew was an inspiration.
Wealth attainable to a large percentage of
the people 1t was the time that gave whatever of
workman a potential capitalist
Lincoln saw somewhat beyond this freedom to
tight the obstacles of nature. Frequent phrases
show he glimpsed the coming of economic for
ests, swamps and jungles more difficult for the
individual to conquer than those of nature
In winning the Civil War, preserving the union,
abolishing chattel slavery and insuring the dom
ination of society built upon individual initia-
tive Lincoln and his generation started this ma
ton upon its marvellous conquest of the continent
and its almost limitless accumulation of wealth
Today the development born of Lincoln's gen.
Grafton, and largely of Lincoln's impulse has
reached new set of barriers. It is control of his
job, not his person, that confines the worker to-
day The frontier is blocked by social not
natural obstacles. Individual iniative is choked
by monopoly, not by forests, deserts, mountains
and swamps. government of the people, by
the people and for the people threatens to perish
from off the earth because international con-
flicts, not sectional divisions.
Lincoln would have as little patience with one
who today applied only his methods and fought
only the obstacles of the COS as a frontiersman
would have with person who feared to break
with old society when progress called him on
to one.
The poverty of the open prairie deep woods
and reluctant rugged nature required one solu-
ton. The poverty of slums and exploitation re
quires another.
In abolishing slavery, freeing industry devel-
cping a nation, Lincoln handed on another set of
problems for us to solve, just as each generation
must forever do. The only treason to our gener-
alton is to refuse to learn the lesson of the need
of pioneers for each new problem

Nine Games Lost TO Maroon
Since 1888: EaStonidnS
Not Confident, but De-
tern1ined
BY EDWIN J. POLLOCK

N1HEN the football warriors of Old
w Penn and Lafayette clash on
Franklin Field tomorrow afternoon it
will be the thirty ninth meeting between
the ancient rivals. In the series which
spans the years back to 1885 the Red
and Blue has the advantage of twenty
five victories against nine dcfeGts. Four
of the battles resulted in tics.
It was back in 1915 when the Maroon
last lifted its colors to victory on
Franklin Field. Such monarchs of the
grdiron as Johnny Scott, Lake. Lowe.
Maxfeld and Weldon. tho present cap
tain, made the triumph of the Eastoni-
ans possible.
In the last three seasons Penu has
not had much trouble blotting out the
ambitions of the boys from up state.
The margin of victory has been under
three touchdowns. but this season the
followers of Lafayettc's dcstinics are
hopeful of ] lower score and some
optimists arc looking for the Easton
eleven to win.

MISSOURI RIVER
CASE is AGAIN
BEFORE COURTS
Petition in Bankruptcy Filed
Against the Promoter Of
Decatur Missouri River
Navigation Company.

A re-echo Of the trials Of the De-
catur- Missouri River Navigation
company bodied UP again yester-
day when an involuntary petition
IN bankruptcy was filed in federal
court against its chief promoter,'
Hugh Gallup of Decatur, who alb
seconded several months ago and
whose whereabouts is not known.
The petition was filed by Bal
drige and Saxton, attorneys in be-
half Of John T. Hanson and JOS. F.
King of Lyons. and Henry Gallup
AZ Oakland, His total liabilities are
estimated to be about $4,000.
About a month ago, E. A. Han
sen, bank cashier at Decatur, who
was also promoter of the naviga-
ton company, and who has inter-
ested many of his friends in the
proposition, committed suicide.
Gallup was manager of the
0maha-Deeatur River Navigation
company and built a large elevator
in the banks of the river at De-
catur, which was destroyed by the
washing away of the river bank.
which is an old trick Of the Mis-
souri, river in that locality. After
this loss. and other smaller losses
to cargoes caused by i'll luck in
navigating the boats, it is alleged
in the petition that Gallup made
transfer OF considerable property
to the First National bank at De-
ratur and disappeared. and up to
date has never been located. The
petition claims that Gallup was in
solvent at the time the transfer of
property was made.
