sixteen marriages alleged to have been

Rev. Jesse Head, a Methodist minister,
including that of Thomas Lincoln and
Nancy Hanks, June 10, 1906
But who was Jesse Head? Authorities
in the Methodist Church could find no
record of him, and 1t was freely charged
that this record was a forgery, trumpet
up to give color Of legality to the irregu-
lar relations of the parents of Lincoln;
that there had been no man named Jesse

was not a Methodist preacher.

COMMITTEES
DO BIG WORK
League of Women Voters
Lobby Is Based on Small
Groups Efforts.
Bv CONSTANCE DRExEI.

BALTIMORE, April 25.-As is custo-
mary in many women's national conven-
tions. the League of Women Voters third
annual convention is paying particular
attention to the importance OF commit
toe meetings.
One should stop to look and listen be-
cause the discussions in these committees
have a distinct bearing on what is termed
in some quarters the most powerful lobby
in Washington.
That is to say, these committees discuss
policies which are translated into resolu-
tions to be presented for adoption, mod
ifcation or rejection by the full conven-
ton later In the week.
What's that got 10 do with Congress?
the uninitlsted may ask. Just this, the
League Of Women Voters was the organ
izer and is considered the leader in the
women's joint confessional committee In
Washington. That committee. made up
of representatives Of some fifteen WON
ems organizations which interest them
selves in bills IN Congress, meets once
a month, but its enemies are very active
in between times consulting and inter-
viewing Representatives and Senators.
And their meetings once a month are
more in tho nature OF a comparison of
notes, so to speak. so that cooperative
effort OF womens organizations may be
obtained.
That's the story OF the much maligned,
or often praised according to ones view
point Of the woman's lobby in Washing
ton. Its inspiration and the very reason
for ITS being, comes from just such con
ventions as the one Of the League OF
Women Voters.
Therefore the charge the woman's lobby
is group Of self-appointed women
claiming TO represent millions Of women,
but in reality representing only their own
ideas ia false.
So far as Is possible, az win be seen
from the method followed al this conven-
ton, the wOman's lobby In Washington
has the backing of the women OF its
member organizations.
That is one reason for women's lobby
the women's joint con Eressional commit
tee moves so slowly. and is often out OF
touch with what IS actually going on IN
Congress.
For instance. at the committee meetings,
though the ultimate aim is to translate
theories into legislation, the resolutions
shot far of the mark In many respects.
The subjects discussed at the 'ae2t-
ings were first decided upon months ago
at 4 meeting of the national board Of
officers. then sent on TO State chairmen
Of the league and all chairmen Of State
committees, for them to discuss at all
local leagues before those leagues send
delegates 70 the national convention.
Therefore, one can see how subjects &C
tually up in Congress at the moment get
no attention whatever.
In this system there Is something
wrong because as it stands. Congress
does not get the benefit OF the Judgment
Of these women on what 1t IS Going.
The trouble largely is that women IN
the smaller places. or the faI-oh large
cities, do not yet see the direct connec-
ton between Congress and their ar
fairs

BY WILLIAM E. BARTON.

Abraham Lincoln lived and died not
knowing whether his parents, Thomas
and Nancy Lincoln, ever had been legally
married.
Those who knew him intimately be-
lieyed that this haunting uncertainty was
one cause of his periodic melancholy, a
sadness so deep that when he was IN its
black possession, gloom dripped from
him as he walked"
He made some Intellectual attempts to
learn the truth, and gave it up; he
learned nothing, and his inquiry started
ugly rumOrs.
He thought he could find the record OF
the marriage Of his parents in Hardin
County. Kentucky, in which he was born,
and at whose county seat, Elizabethtown,
his parents We're living when his older
sister was born. The records showed
his fathers second marriage, that to
Sarah Bush Johnston, but not his first
marriage TO Nancy Hanks.
LINCOLN GIVES
UP HIS SEARCH.
Abraham Lin coin gave up the inquiry,
and there was what was called a sig

AMER. LEGION NOTES
BOOST FOR THE LEGION"

Free beer, free dancing and free
rides will be among the attractions
for Legionnaires who will gather from
all over the state at the fourth annuaI
convention in Huron for four days,
beginning August Il. This announce
ment, by the local committee, should
have an appreciative effect in boosting
the attendance in this great gather
ing.
The main program of the convention
will take place in Daum's Auditorium.
In respect to matters for decision and
the number of prominent speakers at
these sessions, the three days devoted
to business will be full of importance.
National Commander Hanford Mac
Nfder. OF the American Legion, heads
h list of notable personages who will
be present. Among the topics for dis
cussion are such timely questions as
adjusted compensation, military po-
lice, Americanism, and veterans bu-
reau.
But the convention days will have
many entertainment and social feat
ures. Prominent among them will be
the "Societe des 40 hommes ct s
chevaux," which has been called the
Fairgrounds of the legion. This roll
licking society will hold its own meet
ings nightly and also put on some
public demonstrations.
On Tuesday afternoon, August %,
all the Legionnaires will line up for a
monster parade which has come to be
an annual event. This is one of the
most interesting incidents of the con-
vention. 1t is the n time when the
former service men do squads right
once more and thus re-awaken their
comradeship in arms, which is the
most potent influence for the splendid
morale of the American Legion. Most
of the boys will wear their uniforms
and Governor McMaster as we'll as
Legion leaders will view the process
sion.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1922-08-17

AS its share in making the conven
ton days enjoyable, the Huron post
has made elaborate plans for enter
tainment. The novel thirst-quenching
device has been devised of having cold
near-bear on tap at all times in front
Of the convention hall. incidentally
this should prove a good incentive for
delegates to attend the business ses-
siOns.
DE-. III. ID. Sewell, chairman of the
subcommittee on entertainment, has
also provided for free dances every
night. These will be at various halls,
in addition to a pavement dance. He
is also making arrangements for a
good state carnival to be held in HUI
ron during the convention week.
A revival of a war time custom will
be witnessed during the soldier con-
v%ention, namely, the unchallenged
right of every Legionnaire to a free
ride. Every citizen of Huron is asked
to give a soldier a lift wherever ne
may be going about the city. This is
a courtesy that is greatly appreciated
and will do a great deal toward Great
ing a friendly and hOspitable feeling,
ii. VI. Cass, chairman of the subcom-
mittee on reception requests also that
any who can lend cars to take visitors
to their rooms, please communicate
with him.
Thursday, August "a, the last day
of the convention, will be given over
entirely to a great program of sports
at the Fair Grounds. Entries for the
various events in the field and track
meet are coming in fast and some
good competition is promised for the
prizes being offered by the local post.
The large silver trophy cups, for the
team scoring the highest number of
points and also for the winner of the
relay race, have been received by
chairman d. X. Scruby of the field
day subcommittee and are on display
at the Smith Jewelry Store.

According to figures given out by

conference the bituminous coal deliv'

this year are more than 5000, 900 tons
behind the figures for the same period

In 1921 for the four months, 5,445,-
900 tons arrived at the Head of the
Lakes. This year to date the move

steps by the federal government to
assure this supply.

which was forwarded to President

and people OF the northwest would ap-
