Had the nation in 1861 been guided
by the voice and wisdom Of Lincoln,
emancipation would have come with
out pecuniary loss to the Shareholder
nor would the country have been torn
BY the horrors Of civil war.
Had Lincoln been permitted TO live,

Monaban. a representative in the Six
ty-sixth congress-. from Wisconsin
Wherein, then. did Lincolnss great
ness lie?
A brief review of the man and his
work may aid In answering this ques-
ton. Lincoln was an intense student,
not only i'm books but of men and con.
dItious, and as day by day he alb
sorbed knowledge, which his great
memory retained. he became In time
a very learned man. though never a
scholarly one.
He was always true TO his higher
self and courageously stood for what
he believed 10 be right. There was
nothing Of the trimmer or ~demagogue
In his makeup.
He was honest with his fellow men.
true 70 his friends, and ingratitude
had no part I'm his mental makeup.
hence when he made friends he always
kept them. and because Of his honesty
the people trusted him.
He acted upon judgment. not Inn
pulse. and the h~ysterical and ultra
never appealed to him. During the
Civil war often his o bitter as
sailapts were not the men In arms
against the government. not even the
..copperheadp element In the North.
but the abolition extremists. His pa
fience was as great as his Judgment
was sound, and Lincoln the man al

great or small. as from day TO day
he qrandly arose to meet new condi-
tons and unexpected obstacles. These
are some OF the reasons why Lincoln
was superlatively great during the
ynr and was able to accomplish all
that was done
Because of his honesty the people
trusted him: because of loyalty to
friends and principles they loved him (;
and because OF his judgment, tact. and
natiencc they sustained him.

the coming Of Lincoln. Such a char
acter never lived before, and the
world may never see his Ike again.

GOOD MILK SUPPLY
LOOKED FOR TODAY

Local dalVies expressed the belief
last night that there would be plenty
of milk for the District today, des-
pite the somewhat lessened arrival of
milk trains yesterday
One of the largest dairymen de-
clared that his supply from farms in
Maryland and Virginia had not been
diminished by the storm, and that
he. had full supply for delivery to
patrons today.
Deliveries perhaps would be late.
this dairyman stated, but declared
that the storm had not hit his farms
with the violence it showed here, and
that as far as he was advised the
milk supply to this city was normal.
Plan to Use Trucks.
Several other managers of local
dairies = said much the same thing.
although it was admitted that con-
tinuance of the heavy snowfall. to-
day would give severe setback to
the local milk supply.
Every effort is being made by
dairies to keep the sources of sup
ply open. and in some cases. plans
were made to use trucks to bring in
milk, should the rail delivery totally
fail.
It is the hope that, despite any con-
tingencies. enough milk may be brought
here to supply all the children Of the
city. Yesterday many persons were
unable to get milk at some Of the chain
groceries, and late in the afternoon and
in the evening several stores were re-
ported to be wholly without milk
One chain store in the northwest Sec
tion declared that it had enough milk
on hand to last well through the after
noon. refuting stories that the milk
supply was entirely exhausted. Two
deliveries OF milk were made to this
particular store in the chain, its man.
