access. Wheat bran is an excellent
feed for this purpose. A good ration
for the first few weeks would be
coarsely ground corn, oats and wheat

small quantity of oil meal added every

fourth of a pound of grain day, or
just what it will eat up clean, giving
one-half of the amount night and
morning. After a few weeks a ration
of whole oats four parts, Shelled corn
two parts, and oil meal one part by

ground feeds. The calf should be eat

KNOWN IN the AneTlcdu pOllllCal arena.
II saw Abraham Lincoln keyed up
to righteous wrath on the subject
of human slavery and ] regarded him
as singularly lofty demon of i'm
mense proportions, stirring strife be-
tween the sections of our sacred union
of confederated states.
81 saw Abraham Lincoln admins
| tering justice IN military and naval
affairs, when ne seemed to be COM
posite incarnation of julius Caesar
and the hero of Trafalgar.
'I saw Abraham Lincoln in the
White House tenderly offering to a
mother mercy for her condemned son,
sentenced 20 death by court martial
saw him revoking the doctrine OF an
eye for an eye and tooth for tooth,
substituting for it the new command
ment that We love one another and /
believed his face to be the most awe
inspiringly beautiful cameo ever cut
by Almighty God to demonstrate that
Omnipotence had created man In His
own image and then sent His Son to
say concerning mortal man Father.
forgive them, for they know not what
they G0'
Future generations cannot see
Abraham Lincoln in marble, in
bronze, nor on canvas, for no human
being can portray him with chisel nor
with brush"
If the time, place and occasion of
this proposed portrait of Lincoln were
left to a vote of the American people,
what would it choose? There certainly
is wealth of suggestive occasions.
Take, for instance, the debates of
1858 between Lincoln and Douglas, on
which in reality the fate Of the nation
largely hung. Vice President Marshall,
when a boy of four, heard the Free
port debate and was on the platform.
He says:
sWhile Mr.. Lincoln was talking I
sat on the knees OF Senator Douglas,
and he never said one word to me !;
just held me. When it came his turn
to talk 1 sat on the knees of Lincoln.
He asked my name, my age, where I
lived, whether / knew my A, B, C's,
whether I had a puppy dog or not,
and all sorts of questions Of Kind
TO interest little boy"
At the Charleston debate Douglas
made the mistake of Indirectly accus-
ing Lincoln of disloyalty by referring
to the old story that he had voted
against appropriations for the soldiers
in the war with Mexico. Sitting on the
platform as chairman of the Douglas
committee was Colonel Orlando B.
Ficklin AS soon as it came his turn
to speak Mr.. Lincoln grabbed him by
the shoulders. dragged him to the
front of the platform and shouted to
the audience:
II am not going to hurt Ficklin, but
1 am going to make him tell the truth
to this audience about that ten-year-
old lie which Judge Douglas has
brought up again. Ficklin was mem
Der of congress when was, he knows
the truth, and he must tell it."
And Ficklin did.
Take the occasions of Lincoln's fare
well to his Springfield neighbors when
he left for Washington to assume the
presidency.
Take the occasion of Lincoln'S sec
ond inaugural, when he uttered the
words: with malice toward none,
with charity for all, with firmness for

the right, as God gives us to sea he
right"
But in all probability Lincoln Mt
Gettysburg touched his highest with
the written and spoken word. 1t was
great assemblage of the wisest and
best of the nation. Edward Everett,
statesman, patriot and orator, was
the speaker of the day. He delivered
long, eloquent and notable address.
Then President Lincoln arose and
said just .257 words.
Those 257 words were not appre-
ciated at the time. They were drowned
by Everett's flood of eloquence. Today
Everett's grafton is known only to
students. Today Lincoln's 257 words
have been committed to memory by
/ the world.
Do not think for one minute that
Lincoln's Gettysburg address was a
happy incident. His letters, his de-
bates, his speeches-all his papers
proclaim his mastery of the written
and spoken word.
Nevertheless, Lincolnrs Gettysburg
| address is in a sense the sublimation
of all that he wrote and said. 1t is
the utterance of great soul aroused
to expression by great occasion. 1t
touches the heart. 1t satisfies the
brain. 1t is Abraham Lincoln HIM
self.
Lloyd George, in his tribute to Lin
coin at the unwilling of the Lincoln
statue last August near Westminster
Abbey, used these words:
81 am not sure that you in America
realize the extent to which he is also
our possession and our pride.
| In his life he was great American.
He is an American no longer He is
one Of those giant figures, of whom
there are very few in history, who
lose their nationality in death. They
are no longer Greek or Hebrew or
English or American-they belong to
mankind l wonder whether / will
be forgiven for saying that George
Washington was great American,
but Abraham Lincoln belongs to the
common people of every land"
True, but wordy! The same thing
was said better long ago.
There was a great lawyer who de-.
spised Lincoln, who had reviled and
insulted him. But Lincoln knew his
ability and his patriotism and took
him intos his cabinet as his war secre-
tary. The man entered the cabinet,
expecting and intending to run the
government.
Truly had Lincoln said, with
task before me greater than that
which rested upon Washington" That
task was to prevent the Union from
splitting in twain, to bring back the
seeding states by force of arms, and
to reunite divided country half slave
and half free.
How Lincoln accomplished a part
Of that task we all know. In 1855 Lee
surrendered at Appomattox and the
armed resistance of the Confederacy
was at an end. And during those four
momentous years this war secretary,
who had despised and reviled and in
suited Lincoln, had quickly come to
appreciate and love Lincoln and to
| obey him.
Six days after Lees surrender at
Appomattox LincOln's further accom-
plishment of his task was cut short
by the assassin's bullet. And as Abra-
ham Lincoln's eyelids closed in death
his great war secretary. edwin M.
Stanton, stepped forward and spoke
the proved judgment o. humanity:

of the house of repreSen-
tatives. If, Mr. Monahan's resolution
goes through, the portrait painter Sc
lected to make the portrait may well
feel proud over his selection. But few
real artists will be envious of him.
For Abraham Lincoln was so many
kinds of man that his physical body
produced widely differing impressions,
even upon those accustomed to his
presence and familiar with the many
sidedness of his character. Moreover,
the whole civilized world has now
come to revere and love the name of
Lincoln and will be satisfied with
nothing less than a great achievement
by the painter of this portrait.
This is the moral of the recent con-
trOverSy over the statue OF Lincoln
erected in London. 1t will be remem-
bered that. the British government set
apart site related to the house of par
lament and Westminster Abbey for
this statue. A controversy arose over
the choice between two statues. The
plain truth is that there was feel
ing that one of these statues fell far
short of doing Lincoln justice. The
British government asked the United
States department of state to settle
the controversy. The department of
state referred the question to the COM
mission of fine arts. The commission
reported to the British government
that the imam and site call for a
statue representative of the highest
achievement of the American sculptor"
and advised Great Britain that "such
is the statue of Abraham Lincoln exc
lcuted by Augustus Saint Gaudens and
erected in Lincoln park, Chicago" The
British government accepted the re-
port of the commission.
The world does not want a hand
some Lincoln, but it does insist upon
an impressive Lincoln and will toler-
ate no suggestion of the grotesque or
the inefficient.
Lincoln well knew the wide varia-
ition of impressions his appearance
and actions produced. No doubt he
grieved over it. But his philosophy
rose superior and his course was set
according to his declaration:
eff were to try to read, much
less answer, all the attacks made on
me, this shop might as well be closed
to all other business. do the very
best I know hOw-the very best /
can; and / mean to keep on doing so
until the end If the end brings me
out all right, what is said against me
won't amount to anything. If the end
brings me out wrong, ten angels swear
ing / was right would make no diff
ference"
This variance of impression pro-
duced by Lincoln upon even the same
beholder is well illustrated by what
Col. Richard J. Bright, long an official
of the United States senate, once
said:
mo sculptor has told the story and
no artist has recorded the drama
comedy-tragedy revealed in tie fea-
tures of that meteor of humanity and
spirituality which flashed its bright
est iridescence on the field of Gettys-
burg.

Three Steamers Chartered as

Japanese steamers undertaking
United States Shipping Board rates to

a stir in Pacific coast shipping circles
Announcement was made last week
OF the chartering OF three big Japa-
nese steamers to carry wheat to Eu-
rope at 81 shfllings a ton. shilllngs
under the Shipping Board rate The
event marks the entrance into new
field by the Japanese, as no Japanese
vessels have carried cargoes from
here to Europe before, their trade
having been confirmed to trans-Pa-
cific business.
Pacific Coast shipping men take
the announcement OF the charter to
mean that the Japanese vessels will
be here in force for next seasons

end June 80 with an expectation Of
about $4,000, 900 bushels o fwheat
from Portland, Ore this year.
Operators OF American vessels and
representatives of the lines OF North
ern European countries whose ships
have held the wheat trade exclu-
siyely are stirred over the prospects
OF competition from the cheaply op-
Grated japanese steamers. In addi-
tion to having lowe rcoal and provi-
sion expenses, the vessels pay less
than a fourth of the wages paid
