considerable time in explaining it and
seeking to bring them to his way Of
thinking. but apparently without
much effect. The time came, how
ever, when q vote had to be taken.
Lincoln put the motion: 'All those in
favor will say Aye The Secretaries
sat there silent. All those opposed
will say No. Every man instantly
voted a stout strong No There
came look Of disappointment in the
Presidents face and then a twinkle
in his eye. After significant pause
he remarked: The Ayes seem to
have it. The motion is carried"
The story of the hitherto unpub-
lished Lincoln letter is as follows:
In May. 1858, Joseph Means, farm
er residing near Eureka, ILL.,, jour-
neyed to Bloomington to attend TO
some business in the interest of his
recently widowed daughter. Mrs.
Mary Means Meek, who resided with
him. Learning Of certain compiica-
tions involving his daughters prop
erty. Mr.. Means. under date of May
8, addressed a letter to Abraham
Lincoln explaining the difficulties
and requesting advice. With char
acteristic informality Attorney Lin
coin wrote his reply on the reverse
side of his correspondents letter.

An eastern yeast company, en-
gagged in the manufacture of alco-
hol in dry packages, has suffered
the cancellation of its manufacture
ing permit at the hands of the fed
eral authorities. Thus John Ber-
leycorn loses ground, even though
it may seen, all too slow to the
people of the country who want
to see law and order made the first
order of public business.

Ex-service men are now asking
for the enactment of federal law
that will provide pensions for those
of their number who are suffering
from disability resulting from their
period of military service. The
men should have this beneficial leg
islation. 1t is their plain due. In
truth the efforts of the late demo-
cratic administration to lay aside
pension practice by the substitution
of the so-called Compensation" in
novation forms a singing indictment
against democracy which thought
to avoid the fulfillment of plain
duty by the introduction of a clap
trap method that has proven unsat-
isfactory in every regard. From
out of its administration more
abuses have come in three years
than can be charged against pen
sions in fifty years.

CREATING PUBLIC
JOBS is BAD PRACTICE

The plan of making public po-
sitions for the members of the
great army of unemployed is not
sound as a policy. If the wheels
of industry have been stilled there
is an economic reason for it and
this reason should be sought out
and corrective measures applied.
Surely it is only postponing the
fateful day by adding to the tax
burdens of the country's citizen
ship by passing the matter of solv-
ing the country's unemployment up
to the people at large who are al
ready laboring with a back break
ing load of taxes. To attempt to
solve the unemployment situation
in this manner is surely little short
of idiotic and the proposals serve
to emphasize the country's need
of craftsmanship in business.
After all, statecraft is one thing
and broad, unselfish business coun-
sci is another thing. One has no
more right to expect business pana-
cea from lawmakers than he has to
expect his clergyman to plead his
case in a civil court.
The trend to shift the burden to
the back of the taxpayer has been
all too strong in recent times. The
practice having become common, it
is going to be very hard to stop
the movement and only the reac-
tionary can do this. Tax rates
have mounted up and up until
the tax gatherer has been compelled
to assume a role almost as objec-
tionable as that Of the highway
man. The property owner is re-
sentful and debates the ACCESSIBILITY
of continuing to be a freeholder.
The trend gives him pause and
brings wonderment whether the
home owning game is worth the
taxpaying candle.
To further complicate matters
bond issues have become ultra
fashionable. One western state,
debt free six years ago, now owes
sixty million dollars. The faith of
the people is pledged to repay
ment.
Surely the taxpayer has troubles
of his own without having the un-
employment situation passed over
to him for solution. When we use
the term, taxpayer, the meaning is
restricted to that great body of
men and women in this country
who own their homes, and carry on
needful business. This class forms
the foundation upon which the gov
eminent Of this country is erected
and their continued wellbeing is
altogether necessary to the security
of this country.

A. B. GRAY
PROPACANDINC-

A. B. Gray, mayor of Carson
City and secretary of the CONNER
cial club there, is carrying on in
a most -assiduous manner vitupera-
tive campaign against the Victory
highway. Mr.. Gray is not satisfied
with the building of a concrete
roadway from the Victory highway
at Reno 80 miles distant from the
state capital, right to the heart OF
this states seat of government
This act of state officialdom has
gone unappreciated, seemingly, as
must be concluded by reading
Gray's remarks in a late issue Of
the Carson City papers which are
republished:
"Utah has undertaken to dictate
to Nevada what route shall be Sc
lected and have been successful.
Why should we allow the Salt Lake
boosters to dictate to us?
"They have been allowed to dc
so thus far because they have had
the active cooperation Of our former
highway engineer, our state high
way commissioners and the Califor-
mia State Automobile association.
The good men of Nevada living
along the northern route, the Vic
tory highway, in their zeal to Sc
cure a transcontinental highway,
have allowed themselves to be
cheated and hoodwinked by the as
tute politician of Salt Lake City.
eve have been flimflammed by
the Salt Lake City bunch, assisted
by such men as Cottrell and Mares
of California. Are we going to
sit around and take it or are we
going to fight?"
To which one may reply that
Mr.. Gray and others in the COM
munities lying along the Lincoln
highway are going to "take it,"
just because they will be compelled
to do so. Northern and Eastern
Nevada residents sat idly by and
watched the west state folks con-
struct their thirty mile pleasure

Reno and Carson City and serves

CHAPTER so,

But Dicks persistence obtained its
reward at last, as persistence is apt 20
do. When the plate of sandwiches
was eaten and the coffee had been
drunk, Mrs. Talbot carried off the
dishes to wash them in the kitchen,
and Amy let Dick stay with her IN
the living room. Strange to say, these
late evening feasts had no effect up
on this healthy girl, she could drink
hot coffee at any hour of the night,
and still go to sleep the moment she
touched the pillow. 1t was Mrs. Tai
bot who had to be careful

You have always seen girls work,
and women work, and you just took it

There was silence, while Dick
searched for an excuse for all this
which was, in fact, perfectly true
Dick always took a little time to
answer. but when he did. slowly and
thoughtfully, the answer was to the
point.
