Five years ago one of the most serious tranSbortd>

Even though the railroads did their best, car

such peak movements And because of this slowing

not only large of money, but partial paralysis

To illustrate the Santa Fe in June and July, 1926
had an enormous svhedt crop to handle from Kansas
Oklahoma and Texas to the big markets. To pro-
vide for prompt handling 1850 box cars in first
class condition had been distributed sidetracks in
the territory where they would be needed.
The demand for cars however, resulting mainly
from the use of "combines,"- which converted
wheat standing in the field in the morning into wheat
ready for loading in the afternoon,-was largely in
excess of what had been anticipated.
For fifty days the average wheat loading
1850 cars per day. exceeding all precious records by
81 per cent, with one single days maximum loading
of 1869 cars.

Simplicity

Henry Ford says, and other men
have said it before, that there are
ten or a dozen simple rules, if prop
erly understood and applied, would
solve most human problems.
Lincoln did still better. He lived
that theory, whether in his home,
his law office, or as President of the
United States.
Herndon records that it was his
custom when trying a case, to let
the other side squabble and bubble
over all the non-essential points,
while he stuck to the one big point.
Lincoln went to the bottom of
things, refusing to be sidetracked by
sophistries, OF. hair-splitting argu-
ments.
When some of his advisers wanted
him to so after England because
they thought she was showing SO
much sympathy for the South, he
replied, "One war at a time, gentle
men,"
When some thin-skinned religion
lists asked him to stop Sunday bat
ties, he said. Certainly, if you get
the other si6e to agree" ..-.
When some holier-rhan-thou tenn
perance advocates wanted him to
dismiss Grant because the latter
drank, he merely expressed a wish
to know what brand of liquor Grant
used in order that he might send it
to the other Union generals"

Science Puzzled

Science cannot explain Abraham
Lincoln. No eugenist would have
picked his parents to produce the
greatest of our Presidents and no
sociologist would say that his early
environment was the best for
budding genius.
He ought to have grown up mar
row, if not ignorant, and bitter, if
not without ambition.
According to pet theories, a child
born in Lincolns circumstances has
no chance.
We weep over the kind of home
into which he came and sneer at the
kind of school he attended.
You can understand how ranch life
made the sickly Roosevelt strong and
strenuous, how painstaking study
produced a Daniel Webster, how
Washington and Lee became great
strategists, but what made Lincoln
great and how can boys emulate
him?
More puzzling still, of what did
Lincoln's greatness really consist?

four other nations should Immediately agree in prin-
ciple to his 55-3 suggestion concerning auxiliary
war craft. Nothing of this kind is to be anticipated
during the remaining three weeks of Congress.
The opposition revealed unoffcialy abroad to
the Coolidge proposal is likely to confirm Congress
in its purpose. The three cruisers about to be or
dered could be scrapped, while still in the blueprint
stage-as much of Great Britains scrappng done
in the matter of capital shps-if the other nations
meet us half way. That is apt to be the view in
Congress. We believe Congress will be found sim

more cruisers will indicate any desire to do other

NAVAL DISARMAMENT

Competitive armament has disturbed the world
now for long time What grand thing it would
be to see for a change period Of competitive dis

Try to picture each of the nations including

in the light of events since the conference of

That conference a real success On the

TO scrap much greater tonnage than any other ma.

United States then had under way a batteship build

Human Nature

Lincoln dealt with the deep and
simple truth. Fighting for the
right, as God gives us to see the
right"
He looked to wisdom rather than
craftsmanship and to sincerity
rather than politics.
Above all else, he visualized
human nature as the greatest force
in the world. and had an abiding
faith in the better side of 1t.
His appeal was always to the good
in men, whether he saved a con-
demned sleeping sentinel, or refused
to prosecute alleged spies.

Saving Patience

Lincoln believed in open debate,
no matter how tense the situation,
or how irritating the issue.
He never tried to close mems
mouths or carry point by force so
long as any other way remained.
1t was his patience that saved
the border States for the Union.
He stood for the principle that
unrestricted discussion is basic in
republic.
You can't imagine him sanction.
ing the Imprisonment of Debs, or
encouraging such laws as Congress
and some of the State Legislatures

Neither can you imagine him

a mess Of foreign relations as it now
faces.

Side King Sufficient Help
for Some Five-Card
Suits,
BY Milton c. Work
The pointer for today is:

The pointer for today is:
A five-card suit headed by King
Queen-Jact should not be bid with
out side strength, but a side King
is sufficient to justify the bid.
A f1ve-card suit headed by King
Queen-Jack is very strong holding,
but without side strength it Is not
strong enough to bid. One of the
reasons for this is that it is not apt
to be very helpful for any other suit
declaration the partner may make;
and, unless partner have four cards
Of it-Which is not to be expected,
it will not produce more than two
tricks for the partners No Trump
if one adversary hold Ace-x,x in it,
Considering in order the hands
given yesterday:
l. Sp.: King-Queen-x-x-x IIt.:
king-X-X. Di.: xxx. Cl.: Xxx. ~
Here we have a suit headed by a.
quick trick-concededly a more valu.
able quick trick than an Ace-but
without a quick trick on the side.
While bidding this hand would in
some cases work well, it would in
more cases work disastrously and
it would tend to unsettle the part
ner's confidence. The hand should
therefore be passed, with the intent
Of bidding secondarily if an advan.
tageous opportunity occur.
2. Sp.: Observation-Disclosures. HIT:
xxx. Di.: Xxx. CT: Xxx.
In this case the suit is very much
stronger than the suit in No. l, but.
as was explained at the start of this
article, it is not a bid without side
strength.
3. Sp. King-Queen-Jack.x.x. HIT:
King-x-x. Di.; Xxx. Cl.: Xxx.
Here we have sufficient side
strength to justify a bid Of one in
the suit. The side King is apt to
be helpful as an entry and for other
purposes. The hand Is too strong
to pass, as passing with it might
result in the passing out Of gains
hand -
a. Sp.; Observation-Disclosures. HIT:
Queen-x-X. pi.: Xxx. Cl.: XXX.
In spite of the natural desire to
bid a King-Queen-Jack at the head
Of five, the lightest side strength
which justifies it is shown in No. 3.
The side strength in No. 4 is Just a p
little too weak to justify a bid.

SAME OLD JIM

Once the people given closeup on
Senator James Eli Watson and his slant on public
office.
Out of the files of the treasury department comes
letter. hidden there for five years. which is impor-
tant only as it reveals Watson.
At that time Newberry, finally rejected by the
Senate for his extravagant use of money in his cleo
ton to the Senate from Michigan was fighting for his
seat His opponent was Henry Ford.
Watson, as he later proudly boosted, one Of
the defenders of Newberryism.
How did Watson fight? His letter tells.
He wrote to the Treasury Department asking
that it soak Henry Ford on income taxes. He asked
that the power of the Government be used to swat
his opponent
Nothing about the issues of the campaign. Just
hit below the belt if you get chance Throw scare
into your enemy's pocketbook if you can.
The revelation is important at this time, as Wat
will again knock at the door of the Senate for
admission, showing his scant majority in the last
election.
New standards for senatorships are being created
these days. The Senate is beginning to frown upon
who use too much money in elections The Sen
ate might frown upon those who try to use their
influence in departments for oppressive purposes or
for protection.
Possibly the Senate may be interested in know
ing in what other cases Watson called upon the
Treasury Department for aid Did he use, as was
broadly charged, that department to help secure
friend where he had an implacable enemy?
Same old Jim. He never changes The Senate
might find other evidence of treasury tampering if
really gets inquisitve.

Editor Of The Times; We have
sent the following letter to the mem,

Gentlemen: We are rot inaugu
rating precedent, twenty-five States
have already pensioned their blind,
thereby declaring that they shall be
self-respecting citizens. There are
those in all classes of the blind who
need financial aid, the young blind
need a subsidy because in their
youth they spend their time in seq
regating schools with luxury, and
modern conveniences which is not
the life which will be their lot after
graduation; leaving school without
experience, without dollar, without
knowledge Of the life they are enter
ing, they must face the struggle for
maintenance without prestige or i'm
fluence and facing an exacting
world.
The older blind need aid not alone
because they are growing old but
lack of sight has prevented them
from laying up in store for their"
declining years.
The newly blind need help because
their loss of sight removes them
from their normal activity and COM
pels them to begin life over again.
Blind women need the helping
hand extended because so many
gates Of opportunity to labor swing
shut at their touch.
Strong, capable, proficient blind
men need dollars because compen-.

ers must have provision for acct
dents among their employees, and in
consequence insurance companies
protect themselves against blind
men.
Five pensioners, sons of veterans
of the Civil War, working in the

LinCoIn'S Greatness In

BY Nj. T., Tracy

Considering all that has been said
and written about Abraham Lincoln,
we ought to be weary of the sub.
ject. The fact that we are not is
the best proof of his greatness.
Other figures shrivel as the years
so by, but his becomes more tower
ing.
The strange story of his life grows
more fascinating as the horizon re.
cedes.
His own generation thought it
knew and understood him, but we
know that it did not
Fifty years after death finds him
a greater enigma than ever.

0IIy'S Fruits

The world that we went forth to
save for Democracy suspects and
distrusts our motives.
The league that we prompted finds
us unwilling to participate,
The clamor for arbitration which
we continue to make is Knocked by
what we are doing in Nicaragua.
Such a situation could never have
arisen if the simple, honest ways of
Lincoln had remained fashionable.
No wonder France rejects the
Coolidge plan for further dis
armament, or that Latin America
thinks in terms of coalition to pro-
tect itself.
