81 saw Abraham Lincoln keyed up
to righteous wrath on the subject
of human slavery and / regarded him
as a singularly lofty demon of i'm
mense proportions. stirring strife be-
tween the sections of our sacred union
of confederated states.
~ saw Abraham Lincoln admins
affairs, when he seemed to be a COM
posite incarnation of julius Caesar
and the hero of Trafalgar.
II saw Abraham Lincoln in the
White House tenderly offering to
mother mercy for her condemned son,
sentenced to death by court martial;
saw him revoking the doctrine OF AN
eye for an eye and tooth for TOOTH
substituting for 1t the new command
ment that ye 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 do.'
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"
II the time, place and occasion of
this proposed portrait of Lincoln were
left to vote of the American people,
what would 1t 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 q boy of four, heard the Free
port debate and was on the platform.
He says:
"While Mr.. Lincoln was talking
sat on the knees of Senator Douglas.
| and he never said one word to me !;
just held me. When 1t came his turn
| to talk I sat on the knees Of Lincoln.
! He asked my name, my age, where
lived, whether I knew my A, B, Cs.
whether 1 had puppy dog or not,
and all sorts of questions Of kind
to interest little boy"
AT the charleston ueDate DOuSlaS
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
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 a mem
ber 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 flrmness for

SUNDAY OBSERVED
 STRICTLY BY CITY

City ordinance and state law re- quiring observance of the Sabbath were uniformly enforced here yester- day without any infractions. Mayor W. D. Cole stated today that all stores, observed the ordinance strictly and in ia manner worthy of highest com mendatiou. The mayor thinks that when citizens become accustomed to the change, Sabbath observance will not cause the slightest hardship.
 However, the closing yesterday re- suited in many apparent cases of dis may when men and boys accustomed to drug store service on Sunday, found the places of business closed. There were also cases of negligent motorists who failed to take on Sun day supplies and as result had their Sunday travels reduced.
 Rev. c. M Reyes, at the morning and night services at the First Meth odist church called for a vote on the Sunday closing question, asking that all who will support Mayor Cole in enforcing the order, to arise. The congregation at the morning service was unanimous, but at the night ser vice, a few declined to stand.

NEED 100 PATRONS
 TO RESTORE RI. 6

After inspection of the roads, the postoffice department has ordered re- storation of rural route No. 6, aband- oned some years ago, and has set October 3 as the day on which mail service over this, route will be re- stored. Postmaster G. E. Owen, how ever, has made request for restoration of the service at an earlier date, and it is probable favorable action will be taken so that better mail facilities may be provided for the 100 or more fam lilies concerned.
 The postoffice department order is conditioned upon 100 boxes being plac- ed along the route, and Mir. Owen requests that prospective patrons inn mediately list their names with him in order that the minimum number ay be guaranteed. More than this number of families can conveniently get their mail over this route, and it IS hoped their names will be listed early.

SAYS BOIL WEEVILS
 WORKING ON HALVES

Boil weevils are working on the halves" in the cotton crops of eastern Faulkner county, according to w. E. Hodges, prominent farmer of Center Point, who was in Conway today. They have already got the first half of the crop and are going after the other half he said.
 MT. Hodges has always been an advocate of diversified farming, even in the days of Accent cotton, raising fine pigs and chickens and large acreage of feed products each year He says the farmers in his vicinity planted several acres of strawberries last spring and are planning to plant radishes followed by cantaloupes or tomatoes next spring. He is only 12 miles from Ward, on the Missouri Pacific line, at which point carload shipments of berries and other truck are made, but he thinks when the Conway and Vilonia road is completed a good market for such products can be established at Conway.

THINKS M.&N. A.
 SOON 10 RESUME

That the Missouri and North Ar kansas railway will fall into new hands who will resume operation of the system within the next 60 or 90 days is the belief of R. L. Brawner, editor of the Heber Springs Jackson ian Headlight, who is here with Mrs. Brawner and their sons, Dewey and Robert, for short visit to rela- tives. One indication, MT. Brawner says, is Chat the present management will not permit the operation of q motor car between Heber Springs and Kensett by private individuals.
 MT. Brawner says the drillers have reached a depth of about 250 feet in the oil test being made near Heber Springs. It was in this we'll that rich deposits of copper were discovered, and stockholders in the drilling com pany feel very optimistic, he stated. MT. Brawner plans to continue the publication of his newspaper, despite the loss of railroad facilities,

CENTRAL COLLEGE
 PROSPECTS BRIGHT

Indications point to a full attend ance of boarding students at Central College this year, Pres. Doak s. Campbell said this morning on his return from Little Rock, where he delivered an address last night. On account of financial difficulties it was found impossible to complete the new dormitory in time for use in the forthcoming session, and the college has therefore made no canvass for students, as it was felt that the pres ent capacity would be taken and a canvass would be an unnecessary ex- pense. While there are still a few rooms unreserved, reservations are coming in daily, and it is believed all will be taken before the session begins.

JEDEDIAH STRONG SMITH, THE
 AMERICAN ULYSSES

This is story of modern Ulysses, . frontier hero of many wanderings, who died without receiving the fame which was his due, a man whose serv- ice to America has been but lately appreciated by his countrymen. Jede- diah Strong Smith was his name, and his contribution to history was the first accurate mapping of the great West
 Smith was born in New York in 1799. AS boy he played with the young Seneca Indians of Chief Corn planters tribe, and learned their lore. He became an expert with the bow and arrow, which he afterward car ried on all of his expeditions. Once he brought down a hawk flying about 70 yards above him, and he could drive shaft to the heart of q buff falo as skillfully as any Indian hunter
 In years of wandering Smith crossed the western country on the south from the Colorado river to the Pacific; he crossed 1t midway from the Rockies to the Pacific, and he uaversed it on the north from Cali fornia to the Rockies. He visited all the important streams from Arizona to the Yellowstone country, and he made accurate notes of all he saw. This information was used in correct Ing the unreliable maps of the day and proved of inestimable value to later explorers.
 Smiths death was heroic. In 1881 he was guiding wagon train over the Santa Fe trail. The train had talk en a short cut around the head of the Omarron river and soon was lost in . desert country. Water must be found at once. Smith set out in search of stream, and finally reached one While drinking, he was surrounded by . band of Comanches, who determined to have the white mans gun
 The Indians signaled peace, and af- ter talking in the sign language for while, they succeeded in frightening Smiths horse. AS 1t turned, they shot at the scout with arrows, wounding him in the arm Smith wheeled about, shot the chief dead with his rifle and killed two more savages with his pis- tols. Then grasping his aX, the scout dashed into their midst. They cut him down with their lances, but when they approached to scalp him, Smith rose up again and stabbed three of them with his knife. Then he dropped dead. The Indians afterward admit ted that he had killed l3 of their party before he died!

PLAN TO RESUME l
 HIGHWAY BUILDING PULASKI ROAD DISTRICT Commissioners Reorganize and Little Rock and Paarm Road to Receive Early Consideration.

Active work on Pulaski county's five trunk line roads is anticipated as result of the reorganizatios of the commission last week, according to Sundays Arkansas Gazette.
 The plans of the commission prob ably will be shaped up at the meeting to be held Wednesday. Among other things the new commission will con- sider bond features and the possibility of beginning work on some of. the roads.
 The new commissioners are Roy Thompson and Gus Fulk, who suc- ceeded Celsius P. Perrie and J. P. Faucette, resigned.
 The five trunk line roads out of Little Rock constitute the most ex- tensive good roads plan ever propos- ed in Pulaski county. Although the act was passed in 1919 creating the district no bonds have been floated and only $36,000 was expended on the roads. This amount was advanced by the county and was used in grad ing the Baucum road
 The five proposed trunk line roads include a total of 126 miles and the estimated cost at the time the act was passed was S6,000,0000. Since then, however, the price of road ma terial has decreased and it is esti- mated that 'the cost of building all the roads would be about $4,500,000. However, it is doubtful if the roads will be built immediately. More like ly they will be extended gradually to the county line.
 The two lines most needed at pres ent, it is said, are the road toward Fort Smith to the Faulkner county line and the road by way of Scott to the Jefferson county line toward Pine Bluff. A road to Pine Bluff would connect with the Arkansas-Louisiana highway and the road to the Faulk- ner county line would connect with Fort Smith and the towns intervening. The road from Palarm to Conway will be completed by January 1.
 If the road by Baucum and Scott to the Jefferson county line is com pleted, Jefferson county will be ask road to Pine Bluff over. the free bridge near Pine Bluff. This is con- sidered better than an effort to inn prove the road on the south side of the river. The "DolIarway" pike south of the river is in poor condi- tion and the land values along it could not be taxed for enough for the improvement, whereas on the north side of the river the road would pass through rich cotton lands.
 The commissioners will be asked to begin their first work on the road to the Perry county line through Pulaski Heights. They will be ask ed to carry this road out beyond Forest Park on Prospect avenue, and to finish the road later, This will give a good highway for people liv- ing on Pulaski Heights and near For est park and beyond.
 These With the Pine Bluff road pY Sweet Home and road out Twifth street to the Perry county line com prise the five proposed trunk line highways radiating from Little Rock. The commissioners, under the act, have full authority to complete the work according to their idea of what pavement is required and what road is needed most. Now that the price of material has decreased and the agi- tation against expensive improve ments has subsided, it is expected the
