THOUGHTFCL WALK
 AIDED PRESIDENT
Lincoln Framed His Addresses
 in This Way
By the Associated Press.

oy tHs fssocldteQ frese.
 Chicago, Oct 22 Boxes upon boxes of his papers, now safely stored away, bear evidence that Abraham Lincoln sought solitude for his thoughts, as he walked.
 To visualize Lincoln scribbling thoughts on envelopes on his daily walks in Washington was the privi- lege of one of the few men who viewed his letters and papers be- fore the death of Robert T. Lincoln removed them from further perusal for twenty years. They show Lin colns method. the development of his ideas, the fact that his most famous addresses were re-phased and rewritten sometimes four and five times, until they became fin ished gems of rhetoric.
 Put Ideas On Envelopes
 A scene is reconstructed. It shows Lincoln stopping in his walk to reach in his coat pocket for note paper. He finds none, but finds a number of letters. He takes the envelope from one, tears it open at each end and turns it inside out, There he writes his idea. His walk continues. Perhaps a second enve- lope would be used, a second idea noted.
 Back at his desk, he would take a piece of foolscSo paper. trim the envelope down to the size of his mo- tation on 1t, and paste that clipping at top of the foolscap. Beneath that clipping the idea is developed. The sheet is marked number one. Under it, a second sheet whereupon the original idea Is developed and then a third sheet and perhaps a fourth and fifth. bearing revisions. Some sheets have two revisions underlined.
 Changed Inaugural Speech
 Hundreds of foolscap notes with such pieces of envelope for head ines, are in Lincolns papers. In- 0icaling his thoroughress, for eX. ample, the last two drafts of the final paragraph of his second in- augural address are cited. They show forcefully the working of his mind, the careful development of an idea into thing of beauty.
 T am loath to close" the last draft read, we are not enemies hut friends. We must not be cne- mics. Though passion may have strained, it must not break cur bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory. stre ching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearth stone all over the broad land, will yet swell the chorus Of the Union when again touched, US surely they will be, by the better angels of our nstture."
 As It Read First
 That evidently met with Lincoln g ideas. It was the last revision, one that has a place in the various vol umas of the worlds best prose. Be- fore this revision he had written it as follows:
 T close. We are not, we must not be- aliens or enemies, but fellow countrymen. Although passion has strained our bonds of affection too hardly, they must not, I am sure they will not be broken. The mystic chords which proceeding from so many battle-fields and so many pa triot graves pass through all the hearts and all the hearths in this broad continent of ours will yet again harmonize in their ancient music when breathed upon by the guardian angel of the nation.'

AbANDONS SMITH
IN SENATE RACE
Powerful G. O. P. Organ
Brands Insult Gift Brazen
and CaIIous.
Times staff Correspondent

Times staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, July 30.-The situation
Senator Reeds committee is trying
to develop involves more than a
mere expenditure Of large sums of
money in political primaries. What
amounts to a political scandal has
been developed in the liberal con-
tributions of Samuel insult.
Roy o. West, secretary of the Re
publican national committee, says
insult is the biggest public utility
operator in the world. Already the
investment of nearly $3.50, 900 by In
sui in the nomination of Frank L.
Smith for Senator on the Republican
ticket has resulted in the Chicago
Tribune boiling him.
Says Editorial
The Tribune is by all odds the
most influential Republican news
paper in the Middle West, insults
financial backing of Smith as ex
by the Reed committee re-
tsulted in a leading editorial in the
Tribune which says:
THE acceptance by Mr. Smith Of
any contribution whatsoever from
Mr.. insult or any other citizen whose
business interests were subject to
the regulation of Mr.. Smith in his
official capacity would be improper.
The amount accepted from Mr.. In
sull raises his offense above the
level of improper conduct; II is
of the most callous and brazen of
lenses against common decency and
political integrity in the history Of
American politics. To the mind of
every right thinking citizen it proves
Mr.. Smith unfit not only for the Sen
atorship, but also for the responsible
Office he now holds"
The only alternate to Frank Smith
is George Brennan, the Democratic
nominee, and Insult gave him SIS, 900
and apologized because the amount
had little opposition lin the Demo
cratic primary. 1t is yet to be de-
termined whether insult, the big
public utility operator. will finance
both Smith and Brennan at the cleo
ton. or will place all his money on
m candidate.
Another Expose
IN the meantime Senator Reed
has developed the fact that Smith
is now and has been for six years,
chairman of the Illinois Commerce
Commission which not only controls
the rates of public utilities in this
State, but also determines whether
competition will be permitted with
existing gas, telephone, electric and
traction companies.
Reed, by putting former Senator
Brookhart on the stand, had shown
the difference between nominating
a. Senator in Iowa and in Penn
~sylvania and Illinois, so far as spend
ing money is concerned.
If any big sum of money was
given the Crowe-Barrett organization
in Chicago and Cook County. it will
probably not be revealed any further
than both Grove and Barrett have
seen fit to testify.
The big thing revealed was the
connection between public utilities
and politics.

Next, it has created a new

types and, it must be admitted, types
