Many Taverns Dot Highway.

There We're many taverns-not
the old pike for the accommodation
of man and beast. They were located
not more than 10 or l. miles apart
and they were centers of hospitality,
from the big stable yard at night filled
with stages and freighters, their
horses and drivers, to the cheerful tap
room, the most popular place in the
tavern, where whisky was sold for 8
cents a glass. without any exhibition
of drunkenness, for whisky was as
common as cider in the West in those
days and many of the taverns We're
required by their licenses to keep
whisky as a necessary part of the &C.
commodations for the travelling public.
A Volstead law in 1910 would have pro.
duced another whisky rebellion.
Just beyond where our Quaker col
ony halted in Indiana lay the big
prairies Of Illinois, with millions of
acres ready for the plow. but the set
tiers sought the timber. even those
who went on into the frontier follow
ing the timber line into southern Illi-
nois and Missouri. 1t is said that
when Thomas Jefferson stood on the
border of the prairies he gravely pre-
dicted they would not be settled in a
thousand years. The early settlers of
the West held to that view, and sought
homes in the timber, shaved for years
clearing the land to make room to
plant corn, while the prairies looked
like a great sea on which no one dare
venture except to hunt prairie chick
ems. They We're land hungry, perhaps

genitors who lived in trees, Mr.. Bryan

FOUR OF LINCOLN'S
SPEECHES RECOVERED
Addresses Heretofore in Obscurity
Show Development as Speaker
From 1859 to 1861.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 30.--Four
public addresses mace by Abraham
Lincoln between 1852 and 1861, which
had been in obscurity and which do
not appear in printed collections of
his speeches. have been recovered by
Prof. Earl Wiley of the department
of public speaking, Ohio State Uni
yersity. Announcement of their re-
covery was made here yesterday.
The addresses are known as the
"Scott Club. " Indianapolis" " "Leaven-
worth" and apple of Gold" speeches.
The four addresses, i'll the opinion
of Prof. Wiley, are important in that
they show the growth and develop
ment of Lincoln as public speaker.
The Indianapolis address was made
September 10, 1859. The Leavenworth
speech was delivered in December,
1859, on a visit to Kansas.
The Scott Club" speech, which
Lincoln made at his own request, was
in behalf of the candidacy Of Gen.
Scott for the presidency and shows
Lincoln as Il partisan, Prof. Wiley
SAYS. The apple of Gold" speech, on
the other hand, he said, reveals the
high mindedness of the second in
augural.

In part, the letter of the league
read as follows:
THE Republican party faces a grave
situation. Should it nominate q can
didate for President for a third con-
secutive term it would violate a sa-
cred tradition of the country and place
itself in the attitude of repudiating
one of it's fundamental principles. No
party has ever so strongly declared
against a third consecutive term as
has the Republican party. Even in
the matter of third non-cOnseCutive
term it has in the, past taken the
strongest stand possible by refusing to
give such an honor to Grant and
Roosevelt, two of it's greatest heroes
Refers to History.
Every Republican President since
Grant who was called on for an ex-
preston has declared himself against
third consecutive term-Grant, Nc
kinley, Roosevelt and Taft.
No Republican statesman of dis
tinction has ever favored a third con-
secutive term and many have declared
that it would be suicidal for the party
ever TO urge such an innovation and
might lead the party TO pass out of
existence as did the Federalist party
in 1915.
IF the Republican party should
nominate a candidate for a third con-
secutive term all other issues would
be lost sight Of in the campaign and
the party would be accused of not
only disregarding the example Of
Washington, of Jefferson, of Madison.
of Monroe, of Jackson, of Grant, of
Mckinley, of Theodore Roosevelt and
OF Taft, but the party would he ac-
cused OF trying to set up a Dictator
ship.
Predicts Defeat,
Its defeat would be inevitable and
the party would probably be put out
OF power for a generation.
''1f the party were suffering from a
lack of presidential material one might
understand the willingness on the part
of some Republicans to risk breaking
this unwritten rule of the Republic. AS
matter Of fact, however, the Repub-
lican party is not suffering from a
dearth of presidential material: it has
plethora. We are submitting to YOU
herewith a number of names of those
who have at various times been dis
cusSed by various groups in different
sections of the country for the Repub-
lican nomination in 1928. The list is
all inclusive.
I'VE ask you to join us in move
ment to save the Republican party
and we also suggest that you indicate
to us which of the submitted names
you favor or add to the list any name
of an able Republican whom you be-
lleve might be fitted for the Office

Coaches Gayly Painted.


There were Senators and Represent
ativeS. governors and judges, promi-
nent business men and lawyers, travel
ing in gayly painted coaches drawn by
fine horses with handsome trappings
as for a country fair, and they trav-
eled rapidly over the smooth highway
with the drivers cracking whips and
blowing horns as they approached the
stage stations. There We're also big
Conastoga freight wagons with six
horses driven with the single rein on
the leaders, the driver astride the near
wheel horse.
There were mail coaches and dis
patch riders of the Pony Express.
The express riders excited my envy
as they rode at full gallop and at the
stage stations sprang from the saddle
of one horse to that of another and
continued their galloping. The news
of the world was carried by those boys,
and then and there / determined that

Pony Express and ride from st. Louis

mere Congressman and came by the

although we are well aware that IN
the immediate past and perhaps even
now there are certain localities where
our citizens would be given over to
pillage and murder but for the pres
ence Of our military forces. neverthe-
less, it is the settled policy of our Gov
ernment to deal with other nations
not on the basis Of force and compul-
sion, but on the basis of understand
ing and good will. While we wish for
peace everywhere, it is our desire that
it should be not peace imposed by
America. but a peace established by
each nation for itself. We want our
relationship with other nations based
not on a meeting of bayonets, but on
meeting of minds. We want our in
tercourSe with them to rest on justice
and fair dealing and the mutual OBJ
servance of all rightful obligations in
accordance with international custom
and law. We have sufficient reserve
resources so that we need not be
hasty in asserting our rights. We can
afford to let our patience be commen-
surate with our power.
LAS Americans we are always justi-
fled in glOrying in our own country.
While offensive boastfulness may be
carried 10 the point of reproach, it is
much less to be criticized than an at
titude of apologetic inferiority. Not
to know and appreciate the many ex-
cellent qualities of our own country
constitutes an intellectual poverty
which instead of being displayed with
pride ought to be acknowledged with
shame. While pride in our country
ought to be the American attitude, it
should not include any spirit of arro-
gance or contempt toward other ma
tions. All people have points of ex-
cellence and are justly entitled to the
honorable consideration OF othes ma
tions. While this land was still a
wilderness there were other lands sup
porting high state Of civilization and
enlightenment. On the foundation
which they had already laid we have
erected our own structure Of society.
Their ways may not always be our
ways and their thoughts may not al.
ways be our thoughts. but In accord
ance with their own methods they are
