While Nation Spends $3, 600, 600 for Lincoln
Memorial, House Where He HeDiedLsAbandoned
Lowly Brick House in Tenth
Street Contains Greatest
Collection of Relics Con-
nected With Martyred
President.

The United States government has
paid nearly sS.OOO.OOo for a magnificent
marble memorial to Abraham Lincoln
in Potomac Park.
For one-tenth of that sum it can
perpetuate for coming generations a
memorial which in sentimental value
will in the future be worth far more
to the American people than the
beautiful memorial building in Poto-
mac Park.
Down on Tenth street. in the heart
OF Washington. across the street from
FOrd's Theater. where Lincoln was
assassinated by J. Wilkes Booth,
stands the house in which the mar
tyred President died.
Room Kept Sacred.
In it is the largest single collection
Of Lincoln relics in the country. The
room in which Honest Abe breathrd
his last on April l., 1865, is the same
today s<it was that morning. except
that its walls are covered with Lin
coin pictures and relics and it con-
tains no furniture. The flooring, even
the wallpaper, are the same.
The house is owned by the govern
ment but the collection is owned by
Osborn II. Oldroyd. a modest, unas-
suninG little Old man who has made
his lite-work for half n century the
collection of articles pertaining to his
hero, Abe Lincoln. With limited
means and almost unaided. but in
SD!red by 4 devout worship for the
character and personality of Lincoln,
he has amassed a collection which is
today priceless.
Oldroyd wants the government to
buy the buildings adjoining the old
house on each side. tear them down
and erect a fre-proOf structure
around the historic building which
contains his collection.
II will never consent" he said. ito
permit the collection to leave the
house where Lincoln died The gov
ernment permits me to occupy the
house rent free. I live with my wife
on the two upper floors. If Congress
should pass this appropriation. I
would move out and devote the whole
house to the collection"

AMERICAS FUTURE.

From the Rotarian.
America comes out OF the war with
her economic and moral potency and
prestige vastly enhanced, with her out.
look broadened, her field Of activity
expanded, her enterprise quickened,
her imagination stirred, her every fac
ulty stimulated.
The vista which opens before US OF
Americas future is one Of dazzling
greatness, spiritually and materially.
The realization of that vision cannot
fail US IL we but meet our problems in
a spirit Of true Americanism, OF mod.
Grafton and self-restraint and Of jus
tice and good will to all, rejecting
alike privilege and demagogy, Danish
ing all class rule, be it Of capital or OF
labor.
In that spirit let us grasp each other
by the hand and thus resolved and
united against enemies without and
foes within, let us march on towards
the high destiny that Providence has
allotted to the country which, In crate.
sful pride and deep affection, we call
our own.

Joseph Doddridge, who wrote enter

named Teter, who undertook to have
some fun with q bear. 1t was some
time after Braddocks defeat and the
bears had Toasted on the slain until
they had concluded that they had q
right to kill and eat human beings.
It was in the SUMMER time when bears
are poor and not worth killing. Teter
was in the woods and saw an old male
bear winding along after him. With
the idea Of seeing the bear run, Teter
hid behind a tree and when the bear
approached jumped out suddenly and
Ihalloed. The bear did not run as ex-
pected but jumped at Teter with
mouth open. The man APPLIED the
muzzle Of his gun to the neck Of the
bear and fired, killing the beast on
the instant. "1f the gun had snapped
the hunter would have been torn to
pieces on the spot" writes Dodd-
ridge, adding After this my uncle says
he never undertook to play with 9

Senators cease their blatant efforts
to discredit the league by citing Wash

This is Ambassador Davis view Of
the matter:
The former colonies which Washing.
ton had led to victory had proclaimed
themselves free and independent
states, as free and Independent Of one
another as they protested to be Of the
country whose allegiance they had
shaken of, and when the common dan.
ger was over, quarrels broke out
among themselves which not only
threatened war, but in at least one
case led to an armed conflict. It was
the constitutional convention, over
which Gen. Washington presided, that
brought them together in q League Of
Nations, " and set up tribunal to set.
tie their disputes.

President Wilson is expected to Sign the new
bill time today and the immediate effect Of this
will be to add $500 to the tax upon all alcoholic
drinks. This probably will ultimately run the price
up to IS per pint in West Virginia but it prob
ably will not materially reduce the consumption here
anywhere else. The only way that can be done is
through the vigorous enforcement Of the laws.
