touch; a man whose sympathieS were as
lirnitess as his vision q man hOmely,
commonplace, one of the vast crowd;
man with whom, We feel, we could sit
down and Joke as comfortably with as
we could with the man next door.
And that, perhaps. is the greatest
miracle OF all. Lincoln is the one hero
whom We. who never saw him, can truly
love as we'll as admire. We feel that he
is one of Us, for all his greatness-that
his awkward tender smile flashed for
John the boot5lack and Tony the street
cleaner as warmly as for little Tad Lin
coin, VINO used to bounce on the great
mans knee.
SO we--Lincoln's people-have pre-
served the rude Kentucky hut from de-
struction simply because he lived there,
and we have built dazzlingly beautiful
building in our capital-not to keep his
memory alive, for it can never die, but to
show to the world something Of the depth
of our feeling for the backwoods boy
who rose to the seat Of the mighty.
And day after day the stone figure
of the great emancipator sits in the
marble building and looks out over the
blue lagoon to where the white finger of
the Washington monument rises toward
the sky. And as we look at the silent,
majestic figure we fell that he is watch
ing US, his countrymen, as we grow and
develop and struggle on toward the dis
tant, shining goal that he saw so clearly;
watching US with love and understand
ing, even with tolerance for the flannel
mouthed politicians who invoke his name
so glibly; knowing that ne was not mis-
taken in his people, and that we will go
on and on, forever, in the path ne found
for US.

Down in Kentucky, in a distant, Sc
cluded district o. the rolling foothills
there stands rude. primitive log cabin.
1t is desolate little building, almost a
hoVei; and yet it is one of the greatesU
buildings in the world.
In Washington, fronting wide,
placid pool Of water, rises building
which is everything the log cabin in not,
1t Is spacious, stately, beautiful, built OF
marble to endure for centuries And it
was raised to honor the memory of the
man who was born in the squalid cabin.
The log cabin was Abraham Lin
coins birthplace; the building at Wash
ington IS the Lincoln Memorial most
beautiful of all the capitals monuments.
Considering first the one building
and then the other one wonders if peo-
think thai Abraham Lincoln was myth.
For the whole story of the man
seems more like a tale that someone in
vented than the actual biography of a
real man. Il is perfect-almost unbe-
llevable. A boy born in mean hut in
primitive, backWoods settlement-doom-
ed, one would think, to life of unthink-
ing toll and an obscure grave; raised
without education other than that which
ne dug out for himself by the light of
talloW candle; entirely without those ad
vantages which the poorest citizens have
today; we have this boy growing and ex-
panding to the proportions of a Titan
rising in majesty and strength until he
stands forth as one of the greatest fig
ures the New World has produced. Is
that not like fairy tale?
And, as if that were not enough,
we have this man retaining the common

THE UNSCHO0LED LINCOLN

recent bocrapher saws that Abraham Lin
coin could have gone college if he had wanted to.
There were small coopa lively inexpensive colleges
r the part OF the country in which Lincoln lived. The
biographer assumes that Lincoln chose the political
path early and decided that he could advance along It
more directly by selt-edUcatIon than by college
course
This raises the speculation o what college
might have done to Lincoln. Such ifs not really
profitable 1t is OF more value TO study Lmcolns life
as ne lived it than IS he might have lived 1t.

THE TOP LOB

The head of big natural gas company recalls his
first Job. He was barefoc ed farmer boy and the
Job was driving herd of cattle six miles hot at
terhoon His pay consisted of piece of pie glass OF
milk and two cents. He says he has never forgotten
how much that money meant to him.
Since that time he has held numerous other posi-
tioas among them being almost every possible Job con-
necfed with gas company from scout and pipe litter
to president And this how he describes his present
position at the top:
'It's not dizzy height. The only difference is
that there is q little work to do, great deal
more responsibility and an endless demand for tact
One must be more than ever consderae of the other

1G.0OO NEW GARAGES

It is estimated that than one-fourth of the
new buildings to be erected in the United States during
1926 are to be garages. About 100000 will be priv
ate garages Ten thousand will be built for CONNER
cal or public service.
For one-fourth of all new buildings to be devoted
to the single purpose of housing automobiles seerls
surprising. But the development Of the automobile
industry and the increase in the number of
have also been surprising.
AS for the 10000 public garages-that number
may seem small. How to house for the day autOmo-
bes that into large business centers is already
a burdensome problem to many communities. 1t will

New York. Jan. 16.--(P)--Stock
prices worked TO lower levels this
week under the persistent hammcring
Of bear traders. Operators for the
rise made several unsuccessful at
tempts to rally the list by bidding up
= selected list Of rails, industrials
and spccialties. but they failed to at
tract public following.
The action Of the market. combined
with tho announcement Of several
stock splitups and increased dividends
raised the question as to whether the
period of distribution of large hold
ers had begun. Commission house
comment was divided as to the future
course Of prices. in many cases sug-
gcstions to take profit on the rallies
being accompanied by warnings
against short selling.
News Generally Favorable.
Business and financial news gem
orally was favorable. Call money
ruled around Az per cent. but funds
were available below that figure in
the "outside" market. Higher divi-
dends were announced on the COM
mon stocks Of the Woolworth and
Continental Can companies, while 900
per cent stock dividends were dcclar-
cd by Nash Motors and the Central
States Electric corporation.
Steel mill operations continued at
a relatively high rate. but the market
failed to respond to the unexpectedly
large increase in the untitled orders
Of the United States Steel corpora
ton. The announcement that the an
nual stock offer to stockholders would
be made at STAG a share, was follow
cd two days later by decline Of the
stock to 1927.
Last year the stock saggcd about
10 points below the offering price Of
125 after the announcement was
made. but subsequently, sold nearly
is points higher.
Oils Respond Slowly.
Oils were slow in responding to re-
ports .of another decrease in crude
production. The uncertainty over the
effort Of the Mexican Petroleum leg
islation had restraining influence
on the trading in the issues. The
first formal step in the Mid-cOntincnt
oil merger was taken Monday when
the Barnsdall corporation acquired
lips company, and sold bond issue
to pay for the same.
The fact that carloadings in the
