throughout in LincOln's own hand AL
SO several addresses are usually made
by members. So in ole way Or an
other considerable Lincoln matter Of
more or less value gets into the Con-
gressional Record. The following are
excerpts from an address by J.. G..
M~onahan, a representative in the Six
ty-Sixth congress-, from Wisconsin:
Wherein, then. did Lincoln's 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 on
ditions, 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 to be right. There was
nothing of the trimmer or demagogue
In his makeup.
He was honest with his fellow men,
true to his friends. and ingratitude
had no part in 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 i'm
pulse, and the hysterical and ultra
never appealed to him. During the
Civil war often his most bitter as
~sailants were not the men In arms
against the government, not even the
"copperhead" element I'm the North,
but the abolition extremists. His pa
thence was as great rs his Judgment
was sound, and Lincoln the man al
ways waited for the place and the
hour. He was n genius of common
sense; his judgment of men was mar
yelous. and his trained mind went
straight to the heart Of all questions,
great or small. as from day to day
he grandiy arose TO meet new condi-
tons and unexpected obstacles. These
are some OF the reasons why Lincoln
was superlatively great during the
war 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
patience they sustained him.
Historic man waited 1000 years for
the comiag Of Lincoln. Such a char
acter never lived before. and the
world may never see his like again.
He was created for a purpose /: he was
a man with a mission and. with his

work done, his mission accomplished,
he was by a loving Father kissed from
scenes of bIoOdShed and strife to
eternal rest and happiness. May we
not believe that n fond mother was
waiting to wipe the stamp of melan-
chOly from his tired face, and that to-
day q happy and reunited family are
smiling somewhere among the stars.
His life will ever be an lnspira-
ton for better deeds, higher aspira-
tions and loftier purposes.
None can read of his life and works
without being made q better man or
woman. The pathetic story Of his
early life and constant struggles with
poverty and restitution will fill the
heart OF man with deeper sympathy
for the poor and needy. His success

homes, better citizenship. warmer and
more lasting friendships until time

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or.
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.
bition, nervousness, are often times symp.
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm

Congress very promptly turned the
job over to them with eminently
satisfactory results.
81 see no reason why Alaska need
wait for statehood until it has a
poulation comparable in numbers to
the States admitted in the past 20
years, Oklahoma in 1907 with 1851
1856, and New Mexico and Arizona
in 1912. the former with 327,30l
and the latter with 204,354. Those
states were held back because of
race problems which increased the
complexity of the situation and added
to the danger of placing entire local
control in local hands But Alaska is
as free from anything OF that sort as
any state in the Union. The tit
ness of the people of Alaska for self
government cannot be seriously ques-
toned upon any ground or from any
standpoint, and | will be greatly sur
priscd if Congress is not found ready
to recognize this if the people de-
sire statehood and present rea-
SOudUic all ia u
way.
Extreme demands, however, in the
direction OF insisting that the entire
Territory be granted statehood, the
Arctic regions of the north and the
undeveloped westward region as well
as the temperate and better de-
veloped portion. would, believe, only
result in defeating request for
statehood. Just as fatal would be a
demand for statehood upon very
small part of the Territory, such as
the southeastern panhandle.
