REAL GREATNESS
BEYOND LEGEND
History Will Know Lincoln
as atient, Kindly, Wise,
Foreseeing Man."

Perhaps the one thing to fear for
Lincoln's greatness is the growth of
legend about it. There is no doubt
there is such an incrustation forming
upon his fame, and if that process is
active so soon after his death, what
must be its progress in the centuries
to come? What must his real great
ness suffer from it? Not in the inter
est of history alone, but in that of
the name and fame of one of the
greatest and wisest of Americans, it
ought to be the concern of those who
are almost his contemporaries to ar
rest this growth, to remove it so far
as it has already obscured the genu-
inc and solid substance beneath and to

Women of America

have never studied the art of pay
ing compliments to women, but | must
say that if all that has been said by
orators and poets, since the creation
of the world, in praise of women were
applied to the women of America, it
would not do them justice.-Abraham

LINCOLN'S STUDY"

The picture shows the Onstott
cooper shop at New Salem, Ill.,, which
is rich with historical interest. 1t was
in this building that Abraham Lincoln
studied law by the side of the fire
place, the only light available. The
fire was fed with shavngs so that
Lincoln could see to study The build
ing today appears very much the same
as it did during Lincoln's time, and
the original logs yet remain.

"Malice toward none and charity
for ALL"
Generously the accents rise and fall
And echo down the half-forgotten
r Pest
And yet shall echo while the ages
last.
"Ma lice toward none and charity
for all"
The words are still challenge and
call
Unto a wounded world, whose
dropping heart
Asks a fresh faith to soothe its bitter
smart.
Simple, symmetrical, serene, sub.
lime,
These words shine deathless on the
dial of Time,
Chaste as statue in q Crecian hall
"Malice toward none and charity
for ALL"
Unto laboring Earth and all her
brood,
His great soul gave this new Beati-
tude,
And still today he whispers through
the pail,
"Malice toward none and charity
for ALL"

DETROIT, April 6.-"There is no
reason why prohibition can't be en-
forced in this country" Henry Ford
said today in an interview during
which the automobile magnate gave
his views on prohibition and predict
ed an ultimate "dry" victory.
Il can see no reason for the ex-
tended hearings and arguments now
taking place in Congress on the pro-
hibition problem" Mr.. Ford said.
Il thought the Volstead law was
made 10 dry up the country. There
is no reason why it should not, or
why it cannot be enforced"
Speaking from his experience with
prohibition enforcement among the
hundreds of thousands of Ford en-
ployes, he continued:
Il know what l am talking about,
too. for we had it in our shops even
before the law was passed"
The present strenuous efforts to
make prohibition an outstanding is
sue of the next national election were
characterized by Mr.. Ford as a wet"
move.
THE only possible result will be
TO make more certain the enforce
ment of prohibition" he said.

be the vets who at last will make
the country dry. They have conduct

provided good campaign propaganda

Their exaggeration and discussion
of prohibition is the same sort of
