aside, there is not room enough on

task OF conquering ourselves.

Down in Salt River valley, in Arizona. a feud
is raging which promises to become as des-
perate as those which used to exist between the
cattlemen and the sheepmen.
Congressman Carl Hayden claims that he

older than the Congressman and was born near

~
the Capital of the Nation is the
frequency with which members of
the Congress are now visiting the
White House.
There is nothing in the Constitu-
ton or the statutes which requires
that the occupant of the White
House and the gentlemen who func-
ton as the legislative branch should
be on chummy terms, with each
other.
But there is much in the constitu-
ton of human nature which makes
it expedient and desirable if the
occupant of the Executive Mansion
and the gentlemen at the opposite
end of the Avenue are to cooperate
willingly in the tasks of government.
Among the visitors to the White
House since March are leaders of
the minority party, as well as lead
ers of the majority party. That, too,
is as it should be; for the minority
party, if it would be helpful in op-
position, should be well informed.
Party positions have to be main
tanned; the postures of politics are
part of the requirements of the
political drama. But beyond these
frequently artificial bounds lies
large field in which Democrats and
Republicans can join hands in pub
lie service, and an era of good feel
ing greatly speeds the accomplish
ment of wholesome results.
After eight years Of executive Sc
clusion, aloofness and mental pride,
it will be relief to have period
of consultation in good fellowship.
This will not of itself insure good
government, but it will assist toward
it.
No man is wise enough to do all
the thinking or all the deciding for
nation as great as ours is.
No man knows so much that he
cannot learn much by counsel with
other men-the more the better.
To start a big task in a right
J spirit is a good augury.

TWO great Presidents and many
little ones we have had in this
nation. Of the two great men,
one, Washington, was the richest
man in the country, the other, Lin
coin, was as poor as any man in the
country.
His father and mother were too
poor to have floor for their house,
or windows to light it. As young
man Lincoln was a laborer. Con-
gresham Baer, who made this pic
ture, shows you here how he earned
his living with an Ak, cutting down
trees, splitting up rails.
He shows you also how, by
EARNEST WORK, as a rail split
ter, as a hater of slavery, as Presi-
dent and leader of a great war, Lin
coin grew so that his fame rises
above the mountains and forests of
America, and spreads over the
world.
In making this cartoon, Congress
man Baer's idea was to put AM
BITION into young Americans,
those far from the big cities, who
cut down the trees and split the rails
today, and those in the cities that
work at tasks equally humble.
Lincoln succeeded, because he was
constantly thinking, constantly plan
ming, while WORKING. His think
ing was just and consistent. He was
simple minded, honest man.
Whether he chopped down a tree,
or chopped down slavery, he kept at
it until the tree was DOWN.
He was not brilliant man. There
are ten thousand hopping around
drawing rooms in this country and
in Europe that could have outshone
him in everything except WORTH.
He was something a thousand times
better than brilliant-he was earn
est, honest and fearless.
No matter how much hard work
it means, the tree must come down,
was the motto Of his young manhood.
No matter how much work it
means, he would read and know
something about what the world
had done. That was the thought of
his childhood, as he read the good
books that his step-mother got for
him, reading by the light of a wood
fire.
And later, when the fate of this
nation depended upon him, the mot
to was, "No matter how much blood
or money it costs, the country must
remain united and SLAVERY
MUST COME DOWN"
There was nothing Clancy" or
strangely marvellous about the man
whom Congressman Baer shows
doubly in this excellent cartoon.
