His conscience prevailed. Tic
speech was delivered. Douglas, the
Democratic candidate, came on from
Washington to answer it. That led
to Lincoln's challenge to a joint de-
bate. I was with him through that
long campaign. Douglas was the more
finished orator. Lincoln spoke as he
split rails. His conscience was his
beetle. He drove his arguments deep
into the souls of his hearers. The
great thing about him was his con-
science. Unless his theme were big
enough to give 1t play in noble words

For him the fulness Of time had q r

intellect had also reached the fulness
Of It's power. Now his great right

speech. Often his hands were locked
behind him. He g~esticulated more
with his head than his hands. He
stood square-toed always. He never
walked about on the platform. He
scored his points with the long, bOny,
index finger Of his right hand. Some
times he would hang a hand on the
lapel of his coat as IL to rest It. Per-
spiration dripped from his face. His
voice, high pitched at first, mellOwed
into a pleasant sound.
One sentence in LincOln's speech at
Ottawa thrust 1.-THE Little Giant" Of
Illinois out Of his way forever. It was
this pregnant query:
"Can the people Of a United States

LUCKY FRIDAY

A RE you afraid Of Fridayf
n " you harbor the Friday superstition this April Fools day
--n a good day SO give il the laughing farewell; because. like all
supeIsiiuons IT has helped 10 slow up the world.
Brides consider Friday AN unlucky day 10 start the matrimonial
journey. So do some business men, too, who dread IL as a day for
starting important deas. The aversion TO Friday is found in nearly
an nations, though Thursday is feared by Scandinayians and Tues
day BY the Spanish The canny Scotch also fly ia the teeth Of popu.
lar superstition, nnefenths Of Scotch weddings being crowded into
Friday.
To the Mohamn~lanr alone is Friday the lucky day. They eel.
citrate u az the birthday Of the creation Oh man.
sailors Of all countries dread the day. They talk in awed whs-
pefs about Isaac liaryey's ship Its keel was laid on Friday by a
captain who wanted to kill old superstition. The ship foundered on
IFS first voyage.
Friday reputation as a disastrous day apparently originated in
the early days Of the church, when Friday was set IS the date Of the
Crucidxion.
Business mems aversion 10 Friday is traced 10 the two Black
Fridays on the New York Stock Exchange, The panic OF 1873 start
ed on Friday. II was ON a Friday in 1869 that Gould and Fisk cor
nered the gold market and shook Wall street 10 It's foundations.

lea iucky day. II was on Fridays. he points out, that Columbus
sailed Tor and discovered America. The Mayhower ported at Pro.
vlneef0wn on Friday. II was on Friday that Richard Henry Lee in.
trodneei the resolution by which the thirteen colonies declared their
independence. The Revolutionary war was decided ON am historical
Friday when CORVALLIS surrendered.

WHY NOT BOTHp

m the eve Of the opening Of the congressional session there is a
tIvioient controversy as TO whether tariff revision or tax reform
should have first place upon the national legislative program.
The weight OF sentiment IN the eastern states, as yopced by eastern
newspapers, IS that the national tax problems should be tackled first,
upon the ground that unwise and unYeientife federal taxes are at the
root Of the existing business evils. IN the central and western states
where live the bulk Of the nations food producers, the demand for
tariff legislation Is strongest, upon the ground that without protec-
ton food producers viii not only continue TO face disaster but will
actually experience il.
The discussion rs 10 which shall have precedence has become yio-
lent IL has reached the somewhat incoherent stage where men and
newspapers who should be thinking clearly and working uniicdly
are ealing each other names. Let ms hope, for our common safety
and our hopes o. peace and a restored prosperity, tina. the discussion
does not reach this stage in the congress.
Those who have heard the addresses and discussions during the
recent conventions Of livestock growers here must have been very
thoroughly conyinced Of the immediate necessity Of protection for
thls states dominant industry. Yet these same discussions have re-
veaied the equally insistmt demand for a revision and thorough.
going rrform Of the federal taxing system.
Executive aud Legislative brains with capacity 90 solve oe Of
these great problems will certainly possess the capacity 10 find a so
luton Tor the other They are closely related. Both bear with ter
rhe pressure upon the nations business structure. Relief from both
conditions Is as urgent a. IL can become. II both can exist AT the
same thne as national problems and dangers the effort for their soIu-
ton certainly can progress simultaneously. The traffic is too great
for a single track mind. If we persist in single track operation there
Is danger Of a wreck.
