ABRAHAM LLVCOLN-A NEW INSIDE VIEW
Lining Lincoln Student Tells Ho and Why Lincoln Became
Greatest Man of His Time and one of The Fen Really Great
Men of AHTime

I which made him the master OF every
situation in which he was placed as
man as lawyer, as debalsr, as leader
as statesman. This ena'ried him TO I'M
derstand men and measures, for he
surveyed them both b-fore he pro-
nounced judgment.
Lincoln was a man Of passions. His
two primary, paramount passions were
First--A passion for knowledge.
Second-A passion for justice.
Every question submitted to him
was FIRST tried out in Gods court. the
court Of conscience. II was there he
tlrst tried out the cause Of slavery. II
The court Of conscience decided against
his caus that was the end OF The
whole matter II 10 decided in his favor.
he then took the cause 10 the court OF
reason. Here his personal likes and
dlsllkcs were disregarded. Nothing but
the substantials OF fact. reason, and
right and the public good were to be
considered.
The design OF the brief artiolo is 10
stimulate a further study OF Lincoln in
20 the sub-soll OF his mind and con-
science.
To that end I suggest further out
line along intellectual and ethical lines,
as follows:

It was further resolved thnt the

 amendment.
 The board of directors of the Civic Association will meet at 12:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to act on this re- quest, and the directors of the Cham Der of Commerce will meet at 2;So o'clock the same afternoon to take similar action.
 It was the sense of the committee. of which H. Key Miner Is chairman. that the county amendment could not and would not affect the port-aid amendment detrimentally. for the req son that both tend toward the same end and the county aid amendment would financially affect citizens of Jeff ferson county only.
