of our people engaged in the live
stock and agricultural industries.
We heartily commend the action OF
the Honorable Holm o. Bursum and
the Honorable Nestor Montoya for
introducing in the Congress of the
United States a bill looking to a fair
and equitable settlement OF the Just
claims OF our citizens to the lands
which they and their ancestors have
occupied for many generations, the
title to which was attacked and
brought into ligitation by the last de-
mocratic administration.
We heartily approve and commend
the course of our able representative
in Congress, Honorable Nestor Mon
toya, and recognize and applaud his
energetic activities on behalf OF the
people.
We commend the able administra-
ton of our Governor, the Honorable
Merritt c. Mechem, and the actions
of the Republican legislature in enact
ing progressive laws recommended IN
the party platform of 1920.
The Republican party stands Tor
Educational advancement in the State
and for maintaining our public school
system up to the highest possible
standard.
The Republican party stands for
good roads and we favor the continu-
ance of the construction and main
tenance of rural post roads under the
Federal Aid Road law and approve
the course of the officials of our State
Highway Department in their efforts
to secure preference for farm to mar
ket roads in such construction.
We urgently request favorable ac.
ton by the Congress OF the United
States on that measure now pending
in the Congress, known as the Truth
in the Fabric Bill" and urgently re-
quest our Senators and Congressman
to vote for the early passage OF this
most meritorious and beneficial mea-
sure for the protection of the public
in general and particularly for the
wool growing industry of the coun-
try . .,.
We highly express our gratitude
for the action of President Harding
in the selection of our able and pa
triotic citizen, Honorable Albert b
Fall to a position in the cabinet.
We deplore the loss to our state
and people suffered in the death OF
the Honorable Thomas B. Catron and
recognize that in his death the Re
publican party lost a consistent sup
porter and the state a conspicuon
and honrable servant.

Lincoln and Sumner.

!, Lincoln was modestly proud Of his
stature and Of the effect Of the physical
man, especially when actuated by
noble sentiments. He used to- speak
of his height to every tall man he
met, and to propose measuring-an-
other guileless habit of self-gratifica-
ton. The only refusal he is known
to have received was from Charles
Sumner, who was also tall and proud
of his height. Sumner was worrying
the President, as he often did, about
some perplexing matter, when Lincoln
abruptly challenged him to measure.
Sumner declined" said Lincoln, 'mak-
ing a fine speech about this being the
time for uniting our fronts against
the enemy, and not our backs. But
guess he was afraid, though he is a
good piece of man. have never
had much to do with bishops where
live, but, do you know, Sumner is my
idea Of bishop. Weekly.

ographers because Of his high place,
is the most fully recorded of them all
although there is no single book
about him that seems SO sure to per
sist as the Life Of Scott" by SCOTS
son-in-law, Lockhart.
1t is in the very variety and extent
Of the studies Of Lincoln's character
that the strength Of his hold on the
Imagination Of the world Is shown.
Fifty-six years have passed since
he met his tragic death. Through all
that period the interpretations OF his
characteristic analytical, po-
etical-have steadily increased in num-
Der. The bare facts Of his unique,
yet strangely typical and significant
career, arrange themselves in per-
spective like the acts Of great up
lifting tragedy. If he had lived In the
days when myths were made, it is
easy to imagine that in the process
Of time he would have grown into
great mythical figure, King Arthur
of the New World, a half divine hero
like those that we associate with the
most distant antiquity.
But he belonged to no such period.
His age is one of the most amply re-
corded in all history, and the records
of his life are so intertwined with
those of men and events quite with
oA poetic or heroic suggestion, that
his feet can never be wholly removed
from the earth. Indeed, 1t is much
better that no 4uch possibility exists.
We need to know that out Of our COM
mon life can spring so extraordinary
an example Of the development of
which our human nature is capable
When all is said and done, when his
wisdom, his patience, his sacrifice are
fully remembered, we shall delight
pre- eminently to recall him as the
friendly, humorous, accessible lover Of
mankind Companion.
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1921-02-09

A recent writer on Lincoln as q
lover Of mankind" has likened him
to two other great men who have be-
come common possession of our
Anglo-Saxon race. Although ,they
seem almost as far separated from
each other as from Lincoln himself,
both Chaucer and Sir Walter Scott
reveal to the careful observer the
qualities that provoked comparison
apparently so remote. These are the
qualities of lover of mankind.
Chaucer displayed them in depict
ing, with sympathy for all, the group
Of widely various characters who made
their immortal Canterbury Pilgrimage
together. Scott displayed them not
only through the creatures Of his i'm
!aginatiOn, but also in his recorded re-
ilations with all his fellow beings. In
that respect Chaucer is at q disad-
vantage, because he lived long before
biography had attained anything like
Its modern abundance. Lincoln, later
thar: Scott, and more tempting to BIZ
