mean, save only the source Of all
great men, the love of a wonderful
woman. When she faded away in
his tender years, from her death
bed in humble poverty she lowered
her son with greatness. There can
be no proper observance of a birth
day which forgets the mother. Into
his origin as into his life men long
have looked and wondered. In
wisdom great, but in humility
greater, in justice strong, but in
compassion stronger, he became a
leader of men by being a follower of
the truth. He overcame evil with
good. His presence filed the nation.
He broke the might of oppression.
He restored a race to its birthright.
His mortal frame has vanished, but
his spirit increases with the increas-
ing years, the richest legacy of the
greatest century.
Men show by what they worship
what they are. 1t is no accident
that before the great example of
American manhood our people stand
with respect and reverence. And in

accordance with this sentiment our
laws have provided for a formal
recognition of the birthday of Abra-
ham Lincoln, for in him is revealed
our ideal, the hope of our country
fulfilled.
Nov, therefore, by the authority
of Massachusetts, the twelfth day of
February is set apart as Lincoln Day,
and its observance recommended as
BELTS the beneficiaries of his life and
the admirers of his character, in
places Of education and worship
wherever our people meet one with
another"
This proclamation, timely and
exceedingly interesting document,
has been likened to the writings of
Abraham Lincoln. There is a sim
ilarity in the phrases used by both,
and thru the presidents recent
speeches and messages the fact is ap-
parent that he has always been a
close student of Lincoln's policies
and a great believer in the Civil
war presidents executive principles.

CONVEN-
TION FOR BLACKFOOT

Editor C. A. Bottolfsen, of the
Arco Advertiser, and senator from
Butte county, writes to suggest that
after The Republican office gets the
rest of its new equipment, that it
finish on a good job by calling in
some experts to conduct a two-day
demonstration OF the printing in
dustry and to test some of the
technical points that can only be
demonstrated where the machines
stand side by side and the contest
ants do 1t simultaneously and dis
play the results.
Bingham county would probably
be proud to have the printers and
publishers of Southern Idaho as
semble at Blackfoot for that purpose,
and between demonstrations the
Commercial club might give them a
little airing with drives among the
farms. Senator Bottolfsen's letter
reads in part as follows:
Il am particularly interested in
that phase of the series which deals
with the idea of cooperation between
the public and patrons. Without go
ing into the merits of the case in de-
tail, 1t has occurred to me many
times that the average business man
and citizen of the country towns, do
not fully realize the advantages Of
newspaper. In looking over my ex-
changes, have been amazed at the
great amount of free publicity work
unadulterated develop
ment work that the newspapers are
carrying on for the good of the COM
and without any apparent
assistance from the other interests
in the town.
Granting that the newspapers are
the only available agency Of most of
the towns for spreading wholesome
about the merits Of the
town, can see no reason why all OF
the business interests should not CO
operate to the extent of at least
enthusiastically taking space to
tell the readers that they are behind
the constructive program carried on
by the publishers.
Touching the printing side of
your series, I hope when you get |
your new press and other equipment |
you contemplate adding to your al
ready well-equipped shop, that you
can arrange for q two-day demonstra-
ton of the equipment for the bene-
fit of the newspaper boys of the ter
ritory surrounding Blackfoot. All
Of us have fond hopes that some
lay our shops will contain all of the
machinery you now
boast. In your experience have you
found the buying of job face mats
Tor your linotype and Ludlow a saw
ng of time and money, or do you
prefer to fine assortment of hand
,ype for the better grades of job
These and many other
questions could be gone into thoroly
I you conduct the demonstration

Monday morning at 80 Her going
away darkened the sunshine in many
hearts, for little Marguerite Ritchie

friends, and playmates were so de-
voted to her.
She was the idol of her fond parents
DR.. and Mrs. H. B Ritchie and young
brother H. B. Ritchie, Jr. She had ;
password with her family 81 love you
which was her last expression of hel
great devotion. Such a beautiful 1ift
cut short is an example to all bearing
her affections of i1l-health brave1y anG
nobly, leaving an after glow resp1en-
dant and lovely.
The sincerest sympathy of the en-.
