Our friend ex Secretary McAdoo will
not be able to crack a smile at himself
because of his Jackson Day dinner letter,
since his sense Of humor is not develop

everybody else in the u. S A. will split
his sides with laughter over it.
1t was going some for our friend Mr.
McAdoo to yell like a bowling dervish
over the "bungled" railroads, when no
body has touched them since he, as dir
ector general of railroads, made them
what they are. with the public interest
not protected" with Increased rates,
inefficient transportation and general
disappointment.
II was going some for Mr.. McAdoo to
shrek blame at the Republican party
for the war taxes which Congress rails
ed and the American people paid on
Mr.. McAdoo's estimates and recon-
mendations as Secretary of the Treas
ury and MIR. McAdoo checked out on the
spendiugs of the administration of his
father-in-law.
1t was going some for Mr. McAdoo to
shed rivers of tears over the present
slaughter of our troops still bleeding in
Germany because the United States
Senate persists in continuing the war
by not letting MIR. Wilson jam the
league down its throat
1t was going some for MIR. McAdoo to

Camping is a fine art in Morocco,
where the roads are almost impossible,
and the chief means Of transportation
is by caravan. All day one rides
across the great plains, prodigally COW
cred with iris, daffodlls, daisies, butter
cups and wild lavender. Perhaps a
wild band Of horsemen will gallop by,
their robes, sea green, salmon colored,
and blue, streaming in the wind, their
horses richly caparisoned like those Of
some crusading king.
Occasionally one skirts little viii
lage built of mud and waffle and bar
ley. Here and there the white domed
shrine of some saint rises serenely
above the plain. And at shutdown the
shepherds playing on their reed flutes
drive their fOCks of sheep and goat
home from pasture. Then II is time e
pitch the tents near q grove Of orange
trees or on fairy carpet Of red anem-
ones. one dimes on roasted sheep
and couSc0us, and is lulled to sleep
by the songs Of the guard under the
intense blue Of the African sky.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

This is the week of tribute to our
great Lincoln, and the date of this
paper, Feb 18th, is his birthday. He
was born in 1909
In this period, when Americanism
stands out boldly for its cherished ideals,
we pay reverence to him who success
fully championed a cause to keep the
nation united
Colossal in his time, Lincoln's stature
becomes more majestic with the flow
of years. At each anniversary history
has taken surer measure of the man,
till he no longer belongs to Illinois or
the Nation, but to all Humanity.
It is often asserted that nothing new
can be said of Abraham Lincoln. On
the contrary, he is new always. His
life presents new characteristics, sug.
gests new thoughts as each anniversary
Of his birth rolls around He was great
in all respects.
True greatness is modest always.
Never was he an egotist Never did
he trust to his own human powers to
accomplish great deeds and acquire
personal fame He rested securely on
power beyond human effort a power
which rules the destiny of men and OF
nations
Throughout his supereminent and
peerless career Lincoln stood always on
