from his native land happened to be filed.

studied he could remain But when he earned a
small wage in order to support himself, he is to be

This country has never taken the attitude that
the ambitious should be barred from its lands. 1t
has rather sought to encourage those who have
such habits of work and ambition which will lead
them to accomplishment
1t has honored with high Office those who proudly

Smiths Case

Should the Senate seat Frank l..
Smith of Illinois first and decide
whether he is fit afterward, or de-
eide whether he is fit first? That is
the question to be voted on today
Smith applied for his seat, not as
an elected but an appointed Senator.
His fitness depends mainly on
whether there was misconduct in
connection with his campaign for
nomination and election. If he is un-
fit to sit as an elected, It naturally
follows that he is untitled as an ap-
pointed Senator. The Senate cannot
pass judgment until it has had time
it examine his case. Common sense
leaves but one choice in the matter.
He should be kept from his seat I'M
til the Senate has decided whether
he is fit to occupy it.

1t seems strange at this time to
rely upon the spoken and written
word of Abraham Lincoln to arrive
at the real Lincoln.
Probably 1 am no different than
hundreds Of others who became con-
fused about public characters and
great men such as Lincoln when I
was going to school.
My early public school education
was not obtained in Indiana, but I
did go to school in Illinois at time
years ago when hero worship had
more to do with the study of great
characters than the real facts.
l have tried to make an honest
fight not to consider great men, great
on the word of others, but to consider
them as human beings, who by be-
ing just human beings became not
only national, but world figures.
This method strives to get at the
facts and to increase ones honest
and helpful estimation of the
character under consideration.
And so it was with pleasure that I
received from the Bobbs-M Merrill Com
pany of Indianapolis a copy of can
Autobiography of Abraham Lin
coln," consisting as the book states
"of the personal portions of his letters
speeches and conversations, as com.
piled by Nathaniel Wright Stephen
son. This book sells at IS copy.
It. seems to me that it is logical
to go back to Lincoln's own words
to arrive at a fair and honest
estimate of the man.
The author has arranged these
letters, speeches and notations from
Lincoln's own notebook. according
to the way events came into his life.

Marie has paved the way for her
hayward son, Carol, to come back
to Roumania, we are informed. Is
this mother love rising to the oc-

than seeing her son get his just, or
unjust, rights. The royal family Of
Roumania is divided. and the di-
vision runs down through the
country's politics. If Carol comes

Natures Balance Upset

No matter which way you tur.
history Is constantly repeating itself.
Here is a California county threat
ened with a plague of mice and call
ing for scientific help as loudly as
Hamlin once called for the Pied
Piper. An old lake bed, it seems,
was converted into grain fields and
afterward thousands of sheep were
turned loose in it. Mice, which had
bred by the millions, were thus de-
prived OF their food supply and
started on a grand. migration for the
highlands. They moved across the
countryside like a squirming carpet,
becoming so bad at times as to stall
automobiles and swarming through
such houses and outbuildings as
happened to lie in their path. EX-
.perts who have visited the scene de-
scribe 1t as unbelievable. Some
towns have surrounded themselves
with trenches and filled them with
poisoned grain. Great flocks of
hawks have come from every direc-
ton to hover above the easy and
abundant prey, while ducks have
paused in their southwark flight to
enjoy an unexpected feast. One au-
thority points out that while the i'm
mediate cause may be sheep, no such
pest could have developed but for
the constant warning on the natural
enemies of mice, such as coyotes and
wildcats. Nature has a balance all
her own. When we exterminate one
pest we are likely to find that we
have only MADE life and reproduction
little easier for another.

Letting Abraham Lincoln Give Us Real Lincoln

debates do actually throw some
new light upon the method and the
thought of both Lincoln and Doug
las.
Lincoln seemed unable to put jokes
or comedy into his writings. If the
world had only this volume concern
ing this man it is my opinion that
he would never have been famous
for his humor and quaint comedy
slant upon life and events.
In Stephenson's Introductory re-
marks which are addressed to Albert
Bushnell Hart, Stephenson writes
concerning the one serious departure
from Johnsons method, the admis-
sion-sparingly please observe
among the written fragments of a
few anecdotes?s How else could Lin
coln't humor be introduced? How
else get round the singular fact, the
disappearance of his humor the mo-
ment almost he took pen in hand?
OF course, one is sadly conscious of
so many Lincoln anecdotes. To be
a peg for fools to hang stories upon,
especially broad stories, is already
a part of his ironic fate"
The period devoted to his thoughts
and actions as President, his attitude
toward slavery and the steps leading
up to emancipation, actually, it
seems to me, give us the real Lin
coin.
1t is no trouble to ascertain in this
book the exact time that Lincoln
found himself during the war and
became the great man and the big
leader.
1 sincerely trust that if you want
to arrive at a more honest opinion
of the worth of Lincoln that you will
read this autobiography.
1t is a gigantic contribution of
facts that explain the real Abraham
Lincoln.

On Monday I gave a case in which
a Declarer, with Ace-X-X and with no

another Ace-X-x hand, was shown to

classes. When determining whether
to hold.up or not, the Declarer
should always appreciate that the
sole object, Of the hold-up is to eX-
haust the adversary on the right so
that he cannot lead the established
adverse suit. When the card origin
