| Now there has begun q
1870 new manifestation OF
NTN& this homage ilgrimage
W by Young America to the
TAG1S home and tomb Of the
Savior of His Country"
The First Pilgrimage" presented
the inspiring spectacle Of almost 1000
Iowa and Missouri school children pay
ing homage at the Springfield shrines.
1t was a crusade of patriotism, of
Americanism, of the hero worship that
springs eternal in the young Ameri-
can breast for Washington and Lin
coin and the great and good Of our
national history. 1t was a declaration
of faith in Lincoln's Gettysburg Ad-
dress:
Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this CONT
nent a new nation, conceived in liberty.
and dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal and that
government OF the people. by the people.
and for the people, shall not perish from
the earth.
The purpose of. the pilgrimage was
to gain strength and reverence by actu-
al contact with the actual places where
Lincoln lived and worked and had his
being before the nation called him to
the work for which Divine Providence
raised him up-and to the tomb in
which he lies.
There are many Lincoln shrines.
Almost every spot intimately connect
ed with his life is known and marked
and reverenced. The Lincoln Memori-
al In Washington is thing Of beauty
and Joy forever In time the Lin
coin highway, spanning the continent,
will be worthy of his name and fame.
But always his tomb will be Abraham
Lincoln's real shrine.
This First Pilgrimage" grew out Of
meeting last summer in Springfield
between Earl R. Ferguson of Shenan-
doah, Ia, and Rev. H. II. Pittman. The
Kiwanis clubs of the two cities spon-
sored 1t. At first the pilgrimage was
planned for the school children of
Shenandoah only. Other towns heard |
of 1t and asked that their children
might be included. Enthusiasm spread |
from southwestern Iowa over the state |
line into northwestern Missouri. And |
when the time came for the start no |
less than % Iowa and Missouri cities |
and towns were represented by 1850
boys and girls.
The start was made from Shenan-
doah And all Shenandoah and the
countryside for miles around turned
out to bid the pilgrimage "Godspeed

Of all unappreciated, neglected
persons, the country doctor is prob
ably the most.
God and the doctor we alike adore,
Just on the brink of danger, not

The danger past, both alike are re-
CURED
God is forgot, and the doctor
sighted"
is not merely a sentiment. 1t is an
unfortunate truth.
We rush off to the specialist, who
takes one look at us, looks wise, and
tells US, possibly, what is wrong with
US. Then he charges US fabulous
fee for so doing, and goes his way
rejoicing while we hold our noses to
the grindstone to try to pay him.
On the other hand, the. country
doctor calls us into his office and in
vites us to have a chair and tell him
what is wrong with us. To begin
with, we all like to talk about our
symptoms-it's bred in human flesh
and so we warm to the country
doctor at once. Then he takes a
real, human, friendly interest in US.
he is never too busy to listen to all
our physical ills, and he offers us
sympathy along with relief. Nor
does he always rush to the medicine
bottle, as, too many are prone to
believe. Often he finds that our ills
are not durable by medicine, and pre-
scribes course of treatment which
will truly benefit--a diet, rest, or
whatever it is we need. And we
leave his presence feeling that We
have been really benefited, where
too often the specialist, however cap
able he nay be, makes us feel that to
him we are only leases" and not hu-
man beings at all.
And it does not matter how tired he
is, or how badly he may feel himself,
the country doctor will rise from his
bed at any hour, drive through a
binding snow or beating rain, to
come to our bedsides and give us re-
lief. So we say, all honor to him.
He is the truest friend that humanity
could have.

Roosevelt and
Wilson Monuments

According to word from Wash
ington, there is apt to be some
sort of conflict in congress this
fall over a proposed monument
TO the late President Roosevelt.
The conflict, it is reported, will
come because admirers of Presi-
dent Wilson think he should be
given higher honors.
Let's hope that this conflict
never comes to a head. 1t would
be highly regrettable. Roosevelt
and Wilson were two fine Ameri-
cans, each worth of an inspiring
monument. Surely. Washington
is big enough to hold memorial
to each of them.

ROUGH SHEDDING FOR
ENGLISH TAX DODGERS
(Selma, Ala, Times)


Death is no surer anywhere than
taxes are in Great Britain. The in
heritance tax there would palsy the
average American, and Americans
holding property in England know
the meaning of high taxes. The case
of Harry Payne Whitney is an ex-
ample. The American had been re-
sisting British tax exaction cover
ing four years. 1t was in the shape
of sur-taxes and his appeal finally
reached the House of Lords, where
quick work was done for it. The ap-
peal was dismissed and Whitney has
to fork over the sum- of $436,500. In
England the great American institu-
ton known as tax-dodger has rough

BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov 24.-How
many Americans can tell who repres-
ents them in Congress? every few"
answers A. D. Fairbairn, and he
tells story which sounds as if he
knows what he's talking about.
Fairbairn is a Washingtonian who
recently had occasion to take trip
through Is of the AS states, and in
the course of this journey accident
started him on an investigation into
the extent of the average mans fam
iliarity with political personalities.
Amazing ignorance" is what he
found, Sin all walks of life" he re-
ports.
The accident which started him ?
Well, while he was in Omaha it
CHANGED that he needed to learn
the name of the congressman from
the second Nebraska district. Taking
it for granted that almost any local
voter could tell him, he asked one.
To his surprise, the voter didn't
know. He asked another. Neither
did the second one know.
Curious by thistime, Fairbairr
kept on asking until he reached the
26th, hotel clerk, "who," he says,
Stretched his head, gave the matter
about minutes thought and then
found, to his keen delight, that he
actually could name Judge w. G.
Sears"-and Sears, by the way, is a
congressman of more than average
distinction. Not to know who he is, in
Omaha, is something like not know
ing who Calvin Coolidge is in Wash
ington.
At that. the hotel clerk was I'M
acquainted with Sears politics.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1925-11-24
WHO'S IN CONGRESS ? HE
SAYS VERY FEW KNOW


His Omaha experience made such
an impression on Fairbairn that he
continued his questioning through
out the rest of his trip. 1t led to his
discovery of the fact that "the
Omaha incident was not unusual
but typical"
1t was the same way about SEN
ators.
AS for cabinet members, Fair
brian says he found hardly anybody
who could name all of them cor
rectly.
Gobs on the cruiser, Trenton are
quoted as expressing disappoint-
ment that President Coolidge didn't
keep the wallaby they brought back
for him from Tasmania, at the White
House.
Instead he turned the Animal
kind of small kangeroo-over to the
Washington zoo.
From inside sources comes the in
formation that the wallaby smelled
so the president couldn't stand it.
1t was pointed out to him that walla.
bies frequently are kept as pets in
Australia and Tasmania. That's the
Australians and Tasmanians' look
out, replied the presidential spokes-
man." as for himself, there are
limits to his olfaetory endurance.
