ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth presi- dent of the United States, was born in Hardin county, Kentucky, one hundred and ten years ago today. His earliest ancestor in America was Samuel Lincoln, of Norwich, Eng land who settled in Bingham, Mass, where he died, leaving a son, Mor- deca, whose son of the same name removed to Monmouth, N. J., and he died in 1735. One of his sons, John. removed to Rockingham coun- ty, Va, and died there, leaving five sons, one of whom named Abraham, migrated to Kentucky about 1780. About four years later he was killed by Indians, leaving three sons, Mordecai, Josiah and Thomas, and two daughters. Their mother then located in Washington county, Ky, and there brought up her family. The youngest son, Thom"S, learned the trade of carpenter. and in 1906, married Nancy Hanks, a niece of the man with whom he learned his trade. They had three children, the second of whom was Abraham, the future president of the United States.
 In 1916 Thomas Lincoln removed to Indiana, and settled on Little Pidgeon creek, not far distant from the Ohio river, where Abraham grew to manhood He made the best use of his limited opportunities to acquire an education, and at the same time prepare himself for busi- ness. At the age of 19 years he was intrusted with a cargo of farm produce which he took to New Or leans and sold In 1890 the family again emigrated locating this time in Macon country, III. From Macon county, the family moved later to Coles county, where the father died, in 1851, at the age of 73 years.
 In the meantime, Abraham had hired himself out to man named Denton Offut, whom he assisted to build flatboat; accompanied him to New Orleans on trading voyage and returned with him to New Salem, where Offutt Dened a store. Lincoln remained with him for time, during which he employed his leisure in constant reading and study. He learned the elements of grammar and made beginning in the study of surveying and the prin ciples of law.
 But the next year an Indian war began and Lincoln volunteered and was elected captain of his company. His service in command was brief however, for the company was mus tered out within a month. Lincoln immediately re-enlisted as private and served for several weeks. He returned to his home and made a try for the legislature. but was de- feated Then he bought store, giving notes for the purchase, but he was unfortunate in the selection of partner and the business soon went to wreck, leaving Lincoln burdened with heavy debt, which he eventually paid in full He then applied himself earnestly to the $ udy of law. In 1883 he was ap- pointed postmaster of New Salem ar filled the office for three years. He also held the office of deputy county sur ""or. He was elected to the legiel. ,ure in 1884, reelected in 1926, 1S98 and 1840, after which he declined 0 serve further
 In 1887 Lincoln removed to- Sprinofield and began the practice of law, as the partner of John T. Stewart. In 1S42 he married Miss Mary rod'. Kentucky girl. He was elected to Congress in 1846,

An unofficial and unpublished under

the United States, by which Germany
undertook to make no conquests or

in December, 1902, the United States
offered ne objection, and made no
appeal to the Monroe doctrine, over
an occupation and bombardment of
the ports of Venezuela by German,
English and Italian warships; the
ground taken by President Roosevelt
was that the Monroe doctrine was not
intended to protect American states

that the United States would under

in 1920 called for intervention thus

French army overwhelmed Spain and
again placed in power the sordid ty-
ranny of the Bourbons.
So far, the United States was no:
directly involved; but in 1928 the
Spanish Bourbons asked the aid OF
the Holy Alliance to restort their au.
thority in America: and the United
tSates justly feared that France
would undertake the commission and
would receive Cuba as the price Of
the service, thereby securing a new
land almost overlooking the Ameri-
foothold in America, and rich u.s.
can coast.
Just at this time a question arose
as to the possession of the northwest
coast of America, where Russia
claimed not only a liberal stretch OF
coast reaching almost to San Francis
CO, but also the right to keep vessels
of other powers out of the north Pa
cific ocean.

Monroe was not the president, bu'
John Quincy Adams, secretary o

England was also interested in un
restricted trade with the Spanish
American countries, and in 1929
George Charming four times proposed
to the United States to join England
in a declaration against intervention
and Monroe was inclined to accep
