LINCOLN THOUGHT
 ONLY ORDINARY
Nhig Contemporary Not I'm.
 pressed With Him

Springfield, Ill.,, April 22 tPt-To whig contemporary Abraham Lin- coin was not great man. but a commonplace individual whose out standing trait was honesty.
 Orville H. Browning, senator rom Illinois during Lincoln's presi- dency and later cabinet member, las left a diary covering the years rom 1850 to 1881, soon to be pub lshed by the Illinois Historical ~ociety
 Browning and Lincoln were con- temporary leaders in Illinois whig politics. Browning succeeded Doug las as senator and was secretary of interior under Andrew Johnson. He thought Lincoln less capable than Charles Seward. his secretary of state, and scarcely ahler than An Grew Johnson. his successor.
 The Pepysian chronicle. kept un- il his death in 1881. throws light on Lincoln. While holding Lin coln's friendship dear. Browning differed with him on slavery. and believed it's "abstract injustice" too little reason for it's abolition.
 He favored Judge Edwin Bates pf Missouri. independent Nhig, for the presidential nomination given io Lincoln in 1880, and made no secret Of his views to Lincoln:
 Fed. I. 1880: At night Lincoln came to my room and we had q free talk about the presidency. He thinks We may be right in sup posing Nr. Bates to he the best man We can run
 After Lincolns nomination Brown ing supported him reservedly:
 ". z. I believed before the con- vention and believe now that he Judge Bates) could have carried the entire Republican party and the old whig party besides, and I think others are beginning 10 sus- pect the same thing. and that we have made a mistake in selection of candidates
 At Washington, Browning was in the presidents confidence until their gradually diverging slavery views parted them. Then came 'he Emancipation Proclamation and Browning sought 10 dissuade Lin coin from making it final, but
 "The president was fatally bent mon his course. saving that if he should refuse to issue it there would be q rebellion in the north and that a dictator would be placed over his head within a week, There is no hope. The proclamation will come God grant that 1t may not be pro Auctive of the mischief fear"
 Of Lincoln's assassination Brown ing wrote:
 "He was disposed 10 he very ,oniont with the rebels . and 10 smooth the way for their re- urn to allegiance. I thought him he best friend they had This atrocity has blasted all our hopes
 I have never feared what tho rebels could do to us; I do fear what we may do to ourselves"

The pride of the stockyards dis

POMONA FACES
TOUGH BATTLE
WITH BRUINS
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5.-The
seven athletes making up the line
of Pomona s fast football team
were considered the pivotal factors
in today's gridiron classic as the
Sagehens faced the University of
California at Los Angeles in the
Coliseum for the leadership of the
Southern California conference.
The backfields of both colleges
are considered about equal and as
classy running machines as possess
ed by any small school in the coun-
try and many universities.
Pomona boasts of one of the
clcvcrest offensive combinations iIf
the business and when Harold Mer-
fit,fijec' Williams and the flash
Sophomore triple threat artist
Poke Hartman, rush the Bruins de-
fensc the sturdy wall, which has
yielded but six points this season,
will face its greatest test.
The Bruin forwards are heavy,
fast and experienced. They will
outweigh their opposing Pomona
lincsmen by good poundage and
are intact from end to end with
one exception.
Coach Bill Spaulding announced
that Marion Feneh, who plays a
rowing game at center, will replace
!, Epsticn for Il great share of the
battle. This maneuver was executed
by the Bruin mentor in order that
French might shift his bulk in what
ever direction Hartman, ct al, may
elect to travel with the pigskin.
Bruins Are Favorites
The Sagehen line which averages
about 169 pounds must stop the
savage smashes and off-tackle
sprints of fast Joe Fleming, heavy
fields and La Bucherie, who specia-
Lies in sudden reverses to win the
game.
Coach Eugene Nixon has Mitchell
162 pound sophomore, and Mayes,
a 1863 pound junior at the all impor-
tant tackle positions. With few if
any capable subs, with the excep-
tion of possibly Tucker, another
sophomore, it is upon the two regu-
lar linesmen that the brunt of the
defense battle is bound to fall.
Odds here favor the Bruins to win
through superiority in the line,
but little wagering is in evidence as
it is believed that the Sagehens
will turn out one of the best brands
of football seen in a long time in
an effort to capture the conference
bunting for another year.

"Dutch" Leonard
Scores a Hit
By United Press Leased Wire

FRESNO, Nov. 5. - Hubert
"Dutch Leonard, who left major
league baseball after a long, stormy
career as p itcher of the Detroit
Tigers to enter the grape industry
in California today faced charge
of disturbing the peace here.
The complaint sworn out by Guy
Cox, a grape shipper, said Leonard
struck him on the nose during an
argument over the quality of a car
load of grapes Cox was about to
ship through Leonard's F. o. B.
shipping point at Sanger.
"That's wine grapes. not table
grapes,' Leonard told Cox, accord

Crowd Leaves Arena
Hanson, who is known as a eau
tious an none too durable heavy
weight, spared with Scott for the
first minute of the round. Then
finding he had nothing to fear, Knute
crossed hard right to the jaw and
the London fireman started on his
downward way.
From that time on Scott assumed
a horizontal attitude at the slightest
provocation.
Before Phil had gone down for the
final count, the crowd was stream

the truth of the report that while
Britons never will be slaves they
never will be heavyweight cham
pions.
