Man gets but lAtle here below cost. r.uP~owfrd With Pr-DA1s~n h


 Moley is now facing a problem, but he may take the easiest way out. Now that John Dewey Morrison is back in the fold, he must make room for him to stay within the player limit. Firing man outright is all well enough, if you know which man to fire. The trouble is Moley has been getting inand-out pitch ing. Just about the time it looks like a fellow has gone down in sea of losses for the third time. he bobs up with brilliant game and has his manager guessing. Almost the entire cast of the pitching staff has been so in- consistent this summer that Moley now finds himself in a quandary as to which man to cast adrift
 Then, on the other hand he has no assurance that John Dewey is in strong enough physical con dition to get in there and pitch every fourth day. It must be remembered that the lad is just up from spell. of sickness, and it may be that he is not ready even yet to go the full nine-in- ming route.
 The Baron boss will probably solve the problem by putting a man on the ineligible list and Keeping him there until he re- covers from sore wing, or demonstrates the fact that he will be of no value to the club for the rest of the summer. Gallagher has been in the hospi- tai with a bum shoulder, and it may be that the Baron chieftain will place Tom on the ineligible list until his shoulduer com pIetely recovers in order to make room for John Dewey.
 Looks like Rocky kansas had a rocky road to travel in his bout with Benny Leonard.

ABE LINCOLN'S MOTTO
AN EDITORIAL.

A CENTURY ago, boy, who was to be crowned
\ with immortal fame, lived on hilly, unfruitfu
farm in southern Indiana. A few days ago the gov
eronr, in reply to appeals from all over the country
decided that a Lincoln Home Trail shall be con
structed through that farm.
This highway will bring countless thousands OF
pilgrims to the spot where the boy Lincoln laid the
foundation for his immortal career It will give them
Lincoln thoughts; it will cause them to ask
What lessons did Lincoln learn here, that he
could rise head and shoulders above his feows?"
Il did not go to school more than six months in
my life" Abraham Lincoln said years afterward.
But he learned the greatest lessons life can teach
For he studied nature, books, man. He studied life
itself.
DO it better than any one you know does it!'
That was one of Abe Lncolns boyhood COM
mands to himself. He became. the best wrestler the
fastest runner the hardest worker in and around
Gentryville. He perfect speller so they always
ruled him out OF spelling matches. He was the best
read man IN three countless the best penman the best
debater.
Ida Tarbel says of Lincoln, "He could strike with
maui heavier blows and sink an ak deeper into the
wood" than anybody else in the community
How? Why?
DO it better than anybody else you knowr
Abe Lincoln carried this same idea into his home
life; he better to his step-mOther than her
own son was. That is no common thing But his STEP
mothers word proves it:
APE never gave me cross word or look. He
never refused in fact appearance, to do anything
requested him. l had son, John, who
was raised with Abe. Both were good boys but l
must say, both now being dead that Abe was the best
boy ever saw, or expect to see"
Lessons Lincoln learned can be learned by any of
us living today by studying what he studied nature,
books, man-and life itself
To do it better than any one else you know" de-
mands effort as earnest and thorough as Lincoln gave
back in the days when he lived on the Lincoln Home
Trail

4,o's il Abe Lincoln was to come
back tomorrow, he'd say:
@'Well, now! II this don't look

.Just like that. he'd say it, and
ilap that big hand OF his against

thrown back. 1t will be an inspir-
stion and mecca for patriotic pill

] Abraham Lincoln lived in Old
Salem. He came there in 1880. a
zw-boned, ignorant country lad.
He left the town a man-educated,
keen-minded, ambitious, yet bro
ten-hearted.
The folks hereabouts remember
him well.
| Captain Weaver heard him in the
kmous~ Armstrong murder case
when Lincoln freed his client by
growing with an almanac that the
states witness erred when he said
the moon was up the night of the
crime.
The Girl He Named.
There's Mrs. Parthenia Jane
Shipp. Lincoln named her when
the was 5 years old
Now she's 80, but she says she
remembers how she looked into his
fsce as she sat on his knee and
aid, "Parthenia? That'sea dam
pretty name now. amt it,"
Right after Lincoln left Salem
for Springfield. about 1887, the
folks all moved and built Peters
burg. two miles away.
Finally nothing was left of Sa-

lem but the millstones fallen from
their rOtted supports and the shall
low cellars grown deep with weeds.
But the Petersburg folks retain
ed loving memories of Lincoln, and
SO the Old Salem Lincoln league
came into being with 400 members,
mostly people who had known Lin
coin or were descendants of those
who had known him.
Just before the World war they
bought the site Of Old Salem. Last
year they induced the state of ILL
nois to purchase the land and Eur
nish the funds to rebuild the whole
town.
Little by little they gathered the
facts concerning Old Salem. They
have reconstructed five of the build
ings and G. E. Lindstrom, state as
sistant architect, has built a big
stone museum. ..-.
OF the buildings up. there is old
Lincoln-Berry store, where Lincoln
studied law; the Offut store, partly
operated by Lincoln; the Rutledge
inn. where lived Ann Rutledge,
Lincoln's sweetheart. whose death
crushed Lincoln with grief.
Before the end of this year it is
probable that the whole town will
be built and the roads laid out ex-
actly as they were in Lincoln's day.
The league is gathering together
Lincoln relics.
Among other things is Ann Rut-
lodges bible.

Village of Memories Is Built in Honor Of Lincoln
Humanity's Man
BY Judge r. H.. Wananakef.
OF the Ohio Supreme Court

BY Judge r. n. Wananaker.
OF the Ohio Supreme Court
w HEN God made Abra-
w ham Lincoln, He seems
to have used all natures re-
sources on inside equipment.
There was little left over for
outside finish. l have known
the order to be reversed.
Humility's child, he became
humanity's man. Born on
the frontier of America, he
lived to place America on the
frontier of the democracy Of
the world.
His great goal was to bring
the American people back to
the Declaration Of Independ-
ence, and once more read it
into our constitution and life.
In old Independence hall in
Philadelphia, in 1861. when
on his way to the capital to
be inaugurated as president,
he said in reply to the chair
mans welcome:
Il can say in return. sir,
that all the political senti-
ments that entertain. have
been drawn, so far as / have
been able to draw them, from
the sentiments which orig
mated and were given to the
world from this hall. I have
never had feeling politically
that did not. spring from the
sentiments prescribed in the
Declaration Of Independence
which gave liberty,
not alone to the people Of this
country, but | hope to the
world for all future time"
The immortal declaration
had been buried for a long
time when it was resurrected
by Lincoln in the fifties.
II We we're to teach and
preach in schools and
churches, fewer fads and less
sensationalism. and more of
the Declaration Of Independ-
ence and Lincoln's principles

Elected in our individual and
national life.

located on the exact spot from
which it was removed when it went
on a long tour of exhibition over
the country, persons born upon the
farm assure me that it originally
stood at the foot Of the flight CT
stone steps, and near the spring.
This l believe to be correct: but
l approve for esthetic reasons its
more slightly location at the top
of the hill.
We climb the long. wide stairway
to enter a. classic Memorial Hall,
practically empty except for the log
cabin where Lincoln was born.
The Lincoln Highway leads to
the Lincoln farm, and the spot is
not now difficult of access either
by automobile or train. 1t is one
OF Americas most sacred shrines.

LINCOLN
By BERTON BRALEY.

There is a cult today which sneers
At obvious and simple things,
:. Greeting the commonplace with jeers;
A tribe whose concern forever filings
Its shafts of bitter, mordant mirth
I At all who simply work and plan
To do their duty on this earth
\ And face each task the best they can.
Lincoln, your labors give the lie
( To cynical PHILOSOPHERS,
B And all your deeds and words deny
! Their specious, numbing fallacies;
= For all your vision and your power
y That through nations crisis bore you
A Lay in the fact that hour by hour
Z You did the obvious thing before you.
n Rall-splitter, lawyer, president,
y Your eyes were ever clear to see
4 The Truth above all argument,
/ The Right in its simplicity;
keen as the ak you swung so we'll
Your mind, with all its homely wit,
+ From every problem slashed the shell
And went straight to the heart of it.
And thus by simple, obvious ways
That subtler minds were blinded to,
You led land through darkest days
And freed people; you held true
To what the common soil had taught
b And what the common folks believed,
Thus was your mighty labor wrought
Thus was your miracle achieved.
Oh simple soul, supremely great,
From you we learn how common clay
May balk despair and conquer fate;
Therefore we honor you, today;
Who rose to every obvious need,
And in whose lineaments we trace
The common. human lines but read
A spirit far from commonplace.

LINCOLN BIRTH
Kentucky Towns Are Rivals as
Birthplace Of Martyred
President.
BY WILLIAM E. BARTON.


tAuthor of The Soul of Abra-
ham Lincoln" "The Paternity OF
Abraham Lincoln" etc.
Homer had seven birthplaces;
Lincoln had at least three-accord-
ing to divergent Kentucky tradi-
lions.
| First of the houses in which
Abraham Lincoln is said to have
been born is the Berry house at
Beechland, Washington County,
Kentucky.
II we should go to Beechland,
we will find the house is not there
1t has been moved to Harrodsburg,
where it stands as a kind of mu-
scum, not very Intimately associ-
ated with Lincoln, who never in
his life was in Harrodsburg.
+, The house today bears little re-
semhlance to its former self. For
tunately, however, it was photo
graphed while on its original Site
In this house, the home of Rich
ard Berry. the presidents parents,

were married by Rev. Jesse Head,
June IL, 1906.
AffidavitS Err.
Washington county people have
a formidable group of afidavits,
from old and truthful people who
declared that Abraham Lincoln
was born there; that his people
did not remove to Hardin county
till he was a lad several years of
age, and certain witnesses af
firmed ON oath that they saw him
as a child playing about the door
of the Berry house.
My own impression is that these
people were truthful and that
they may have seen the little lad
Abraham Lincoln playing about
this house.
The parents of Abraham Lin
coin were married in this house;
he doubtless visited it in his early
childhood and may have lived sew
eral months beneath its roof, but
we must look elsewhere for nis
birthplace

So we 60 to Elizabethtown. The
house we wish to see is not stand
ing. but we can find people who
will assure us that Lincoln was
born there. and who will show US
the unattractive location.
I What they are showing US is
the place where Thomas and Nancy
Lincoln spent their honeymoon,
and lived from June, 1906, till the
spring of 1908. Here Abraham's
little sister, Sarah, was born.
The cabin that stood here was
the first house advertised as the
birthplace Of Abraham Lincoln,
and the picture is still frequently
shown as such. This house was
standing at the end Of the Civil
war. 1t was first photographed,
apparently. for THE Campaign
Document" in which William N.
Thayer, in 1854, told of the Char
acter and Public Services of Abra-
ham Lincoln"
But Thomas Lincoln did not
build this cabin. and Abraham
was not born there, and never
lived there.
The last vestige Of this cabin has
disappeared. ~
The actual birthplace Of Abfa-
ham Lincoln was in q log cabin
which. after many removals, now
stands not far from its original
site. on Rock Spring farm. on Nolln

oh. WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF MORTAL BE PROuDi,
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
L4keea swift-fitting meteor, fast-fying cloud
A flash Of the lightning, a break Of wave,
He passeth from life to his rest in the grave
The leaves OF the oak and the willow shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be laid
As the young and the old the low and the high,
Shall crumble to dust and together shall le
So the multitude goes like the flower weed
That wthers away to let others succeed
So the multitude comes even those We behold,
To repeat every tale that has often been told
For We are the same things our fathers have been;
We see the same sights fathers have seen;
We drink the stream, feel the same sun,
, And run the same course fathers have run
The thoughts thinking fathers did think;
From the death shrinking fathers did shrink
To the life clingtng fathers did cling
But it speeds from US all like the bird the wing
Yea, hope and dependency pleasure and palm
Are mingled together in sunshine and rain:
And the smile and the tear, the song the dirKe
Sun follow each other like surge upon surge
IT'S the wink Of eye: It's draught Of a breath
From the blossom Of health the paleness Of death
From the gided salon to the bier and the shroud:
Oh. why should the spirit of be proud.
