The only way TO know thing thoroly is
TO be born to il, to draw it in with your
mothers milk, TO play with il as child. to
have it and nothing but 1t all about you dur

mind shall feed on IL during your formative
period. Those so planted and surrounded
know any people or world in way that an
other cannot possibly know who comes down
TO it from above, rises into il from below, or
in any way penetrates it from the outside.
Only those know America. or the East, or
France, or Art. or Catholicism, or Aristoc-

ly brings out this idea in depicting Lincoln's
boyhood. He says:
THE country was newly settled by Wig
orous adventurous men, who had brought
little or no property with them. There were
no Immediate traditions Of aristocracy or
servitude. Every one had TO work for a
living, and every one could get living by
working. II was not necessary for Lincoln
to create out Of his mind a new conception
of Democracy. He grew up in Democracy,
observed it, appreciated it, and then lived
and spoke what was in his heart. As
man he did his best to do away with the
physical limitations of his boyhood environ
ment, by the building Of roads and encour-
aging industry. while at the same time en-
deavoring to retain equality of opportunity.
He did not confuse primitive living with
Democracy.
Out of this matrix of Democracy, more
absolutely democratic than anything in
France, in Switzerland, or in Greece-out Of
this Great West, peopled by strong, free
men, TO whom Glass; as understood by high
and low in Europe, as inbred by generations
of inherited privilege in the Old World,
meant nothing-out of this new clay from
the West" destiny formed the man who
more than any other deserved the title of
The First American.

NEW YORK, April 13-William G.

circular issued by the Southwest Trust
Company at Houston, Tex, offering stock

Texas Northern Oil Company, and con-
tanning the following statement:
al am willing to take a chance said
William g. McAdoo, formerly secretary
Of the United States treasury, when he
invested the sum Of $4,000 in Texas oil
recently
Not only is this statement wanton
lie, but the use of my name is unauthor-
lied and an outrage.
Il never heard of the Southwest Trust
Company nor the Texas Northern Oil
Company until I saw this circular, and

Of these companies and have, of course,
