son why it should not have grown and become the
metropolis Of the county" p
Lincoln first saw New Salem in April. 1881,
when he and his fatboat crew had their famous
adventure on the milldam. He was on his way
from Beardstown to New Orleans, where he saw
the selling of slaves and said. IF ever l get a
cnance to hit that thing, I'll hit it hard"
July j, 1881, Lincoln walked into New Salem to
serve as clerk in the Offut store, when 1t should
De ready. The town election at that time was held
uurlhg the frst week in August, and Lincoln, be-
ing about the polling place. was asked by Mentor
Graham, the man who later became his friend
and teacher, If he could write. Lincoln replied, 81
can make a few rabbit tracks" whereupon he was
invited In TO assist in keeping tally, the regular
clerk having failed to appear. IL Is said that dur
Ing the lull in voting Lincoln improved the OPP
portunity to tell stories. So here was Lincoln's
Introduction to politics. But he was a finished
story-teller even then.
tom" Reed of Maine. the famous speaker of
the house of representatives, once said, "a states
man Is a successful politician who is dead" The
humor and sarcasm Of this are exceeded only by
its value as n popular gauge of politics and poll
ticlans. But where Abraham Lincoln Is concerned
all signs fail. He was a consumnnte. politician
all his life. and he never hesitated to seek public
preferment.
LinooIn's First Campaign.
After Honest Abe had been In New Salem
a year or SO he ran for the state legislature. He
had already learned to write. as is shown by his
announcement of his candidacy. which concludes
thus:
Every man Is said to have his peculiar ambI-
ton. Whether II be true or not. | can say. for
one. that / have no other so great as that of being
truly esteemed Of my fellowmen by rendering my
self worthy of their esteem. How far | shall sue
coed In gratifying this ambition IL yet to be de-
veloped. I am young and unknown TO many Of
you. | was born and have ever remained In the
most humble walks of life. | have no wealth or
popular relations or friends to recommend me.
My case is thrown exclusively upon the lndepend-
ent voters of the county and II elected, they will
have conferred n favor upon me for which | shall
be unremltting in my lnbors TO compensate. But
II the good people In their wisdom shall see DIT to
keep me In the background, I have been too ia
mliar with disappointment TO be very much
chagrined."
Well, Lincoln was beaten by Peter Cartwright,
The iinerant preacher whom he defeated In 1876
for congress. But New Salem went for Honest
Abe" with 2T7 votes out OF the 300 cast. And two
years later he was triumphnntly elected.
Nobody ever saw any difference between the
Abraham Lincoln Of New Salem and the Abraham
Lincoln OF the White House. He never changed.
Moreover, there was something In his lowly origin
and in the story of his life that brought him
close to the people as one OF them. And In the
development of the man there is no more fasclnat-
ing chapter than New Salem. 1S31-37.

ROTARIANS BACK
MANAGER PLAN
Falter ]. Frost Presents
New Ideals of Govern
ment at Meeting.
SCOUT FUND COMPLETE

Without formally committing itself,
the Kenosha Rotary Club showed that
it was strongly in favor of the com
missioner-manager form of government
at the regular weekly luncheon of the
club, held at the Elks Club at noon to-
DAY, and plans are being worked out
whereby the members of the club will
act to aid in securing the education of
the people along the lines of this form
of government.
A most interesting discussion, led
by Walter j. Frost, who gave a
splendid presentation of the work that
has been done by the new government
form, was featured at the meeting. On
account of the great value of the adj
dress of Mr., Frost to the students of
this form of government, the address
made before the Rotarians will be pub
lishcd in full in the Evening News on
Wednesday.
Tells of Success.
Mr.. Frost pointed out the fact that
this particular form of government had
been adopted by 1$t cities and he de-
clared that he had not been able to
find single city which had abandoned
the eommiSsion-manager form after
giving it fair test. He told of the
results which had been attained in
many cities Of the rank of Kenosha and
declared that results had been so
splendid in the smaller cities of the
nation that the cities of Chicago and
Kansas City were giving thoughtful
consideration of the adoption of the
plan. The report of Mr.. Frost on the
operation Of the plan was succession of
reduced taxes and increased efficiency
in municipal rule.
Money for Boy Scouts.
The special committee of Rotarians
in charge of raising the emergency
fund to take care of the Boy Scout
movement reported that sum in ex-
cess of $4,000 had been pledged to the
movement and more than half of this
amount has been paid in, in cash. The
money will be available to meet the
demands of the scouts at once.
The Rotarians appointed commit
tee composed of W. t. Marlatt, james
T. Wilson and Robert S. Cooper to con-
fer with other organizations in work
ing out a plan for the future financing
of the Boy Scout movement in Keno
sha. Interesting at the meeting was a
| letter from Otis L. Trenary, a member
of the Boy Scout Council, praising the
work of the Rotarians in securing the
fund necessary to continue the work
1 in Kenosha.
The meeting of the Rotarians was
one of the largest of the year. Among
the guests for the day were Luke
Grant, publicity agent for the North
Shore line, mad Conrad Shearer, secre-
tary Of the aKenosha Manufacturers

SUNNY JIM TO
LEAVE KENOSHA
James Bailey, Veteran In
surance Man, to Move
to Florida.
LEADER IN BUSINESS

James Bailey, prominent insurance
man and civic leader of Kenosha, and
better known to all as Sunny Jim, .
has decided to ''pull up stakes" and
leave Kenosha. Early next week, ac-
cording to the announcement made
here this morning, he will leave for
Cocoanut Grove, Florida, where he in
tends to make his future home.
Mr.. Bailey has long cherished a dream
to live in Florida where he has been q
frequent visitor and he has now gained
from the Massachusetts, Mutual Insur-
ance company, which he has long served
successfully here, an indefinite leave
of absence to enable him to enter the
insurance business in Florida.
"My plans are to go to Florida per-
manently," said Mr.. Bailey this morn
ing, "but l love Kenosha so much that
I am not burning all my bridges behind
me. The company has granted me a
leave of absence for an indefinite per-
iod and has expressed the hope that
may decide to return later"
Long Prominent Here.
The announcement that Mr.. Bailey
will leave Kenosha brought expressions
of regret wherever it was made known
this morning. Mr.. Bailey has been one
of Kenosha's most progressive citizens
ever willing to give freely of his time
and energy to aid in making a greater
Kenosha and he will be. sadly missed
in civic endeavors here.
Sunny jim" came to Kenosha in
1899, then entering the employ of the
Chicago-Kenosha Hosiery company
where he rapidly advanced to a high
position with the company. This posi-
ton he resigned later to become dis
trict manager of the Massachusetts,
Mutual Life Insurance company here.
In the insurance business Mr.. Bailey
has had an enviable record. He quickly
became known as one of the foremost
insurance men in southern Wisconsin
and for many years has headed the
managers of the company which he rep
resents in Wisconsin.
Perhaps nowhere will Mr.. Bailey be
missed more than at the Grace Luther
an Church, where for more than twenty
years he has been the organist. He
was a talented musician and had en-.
deared himself greatly to the members
of the congregation. He secured from
the late Andrew Carnegie the gift OF
the organ more than a score of years
ago and has ably presided at it since
that time. He is also prominent il
fraternal circles in Kenosha and will
be greatly missed there.
Mr.. Bailey will be accompanied to his
home in Dixie by Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
L. Stone and son, who will make their
home with him. They carry with them
the good wishes of their many friends
in Kenosha.

BACK FROM SERVICE.
Paul Miller Inyalided Home After
Three Years Service With U. s.

Paul Miller Inyalided Home After
Three Years Service With U. s.
Paul Miller, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Miller, 1853 North Sheridan road,
has returned to his home after spend
ing three years in the service of Uncle
Sam, thirteen months of which were
spent overseas.
Miller enlisted with the Marines in
June of 1918; and in two months was
sent to France. After period of
intensive training his regiment was on
the point of being sent to the front
when the armistice was signed. After
some time spent touring Europe, Miller
returned to this country. The call of
the service was too strong for him,
however, and he re-enlisted in the mu-
sician's school of the United States
navy at Newport, Rhode Island. After
several months there he was taken
seriously i'll and was sent to the Wal
ter Reed hospital at Washington, D.
C. to recuperate. When he was suf-
fciently well to be on his feet again he
was discharged and invalided home.
"That saying about the great life"
comments Miller, "is true all right,
if you don't weaken. But you're all
through if you weaken"
