Favettville, April Is, 1922-Clyde
F. Gay, of Little Rock, senior in the
University of Arkansas, who will re-
ceive his B. A. Degree in June, will
be graduated with the best Scholastic
record ever held by any student of the
University of Arkansas since the
founding so years ago. Gay has receiv-
ed practically no grade excepting "A"
since he entered the University in the
! fell Of 1918. Although he holds this
unprecedented scholarship record, Gay
has found time to engage in many gen
erai student activities, attaining the
rank of leader in all those in which
he takes part. His record goes di-
rectly against the grain of the old
| idea that one who is good in his books
is likely to be good for little else, for
he is not only very popular man on
The campus, but he has the knack for
making go of any line of work to
which he puts his hands. He is the
highest ranking man in the R. 0. 7 C.
military department of the University.
in which he holds the position of cadet
major Of the battalion. He attended
| the R. O. T. c. summer camp at Fort
Snehing, near st. Paul, Minnesota,
last year, where he ranked highest
among the Arkansas men present. He
is cartain of the Arkansas Company Of
the Scabbard and Blade, National Hon.
orary Military Fraternity, and was the
delegate of the Arkansas groupe to
the National Assembly of the organi
zaticn held last fall Gay is a member
Of Skull Torch, the University's honor
ary scholastic society. He was candi-
ldate for the Rhodes scholarship recent
iy awarded from Arkansas, and stood
second in the contest, being topped on
ly by man who was about to receive
his degree as Doctor of Philosophy
from Massachusetts University. Gay
is member of the Sigma Chi frater-
nifty. Has an excellent singing voice
and is good public speaker, although
he has not officially represented the
University in these lines of student

CLAIM NOW MADE
LINCOLN WAS DRY
By Associated Press)

Chicago, July 11-Denial that
Abraham Lincoln had once de-
clared himself as opposed to pro-
hibition was made today by the
Rev. Duncan c. Miner, associate
minister Of the Presbyterian
church, a civil war veteran and
chaplain OF the Loyal Legion.
In statement intended to- re-
ftte the claim of certain wet or.
CARNATIONS" that the Immortal
Lincoln had ever lent even a hint
of approval to the liquor traffic"
Rev. Miner, made public an aft
davit signed by three nationally
known men setting forth that an
alleged quotation from Lincoln.
which was used in local option
campaign in 1887 was an admit
ted fraud.
The affidavit, signed by the Rev
Sam Small, evangelist, Rev. Sam
Jones, and Henry w. Grady, de-
clares that 'sorne time after the
campaign, Col. John B. Goodwin,
who had been the director OF the
anti-prohibition forces, told that
he. himself had composed the al
legged words of Lincoln so as to
attract the adhersion of the col
ored voters"
The alleged statement of Lin
coins views were set forth in a
circular widely broadcast in the
campaign, and did much to defeat
the local option measure by win
ming over the entire colored vote
to the side of the VETS" Rev..
Miner explained.
The words credited to Lincoln.
but since admitted to be those Of
another, were:
prohibition will work great
injury to the cause of temper
ance. 1t is specie of intemper-
ance itself, for it goes beyond the
bounds of reason in that it at.
tempts to control mans appetite
by legislation, and in making
crime out of things that are not
crimes.
"a prohibitory law strikes a
blow at the very principles on
which Our government was found
ed. I have always been found
laboring co protect the weaker
classes from the stronger, and I
can never give my consent to
such law as you propose to en-
act. Until my tongue be silenced
in death, I will continue to fight
for the rights of man."
The quotation was headed,
abraham Lincoln's Proclama-
tion," and was followed by this
appeal: !
"Colored Voter: He appeals toll
you to protect the liberty he has
bestowed upon you. Will you
go back on his advice? Look to
your rights. Read! Act! Vote
