WASHINGTON Feb. II. - Thomas
Clapham, custodian of the Lincoln
memorial here, again is welcoming the
hundreds of visitors coming to OBJ
serve another anniversary of the Great
Emancipator's birth.
For eight years he has talked OF
Lincoln, listened to stories OF Lincoln
and read of Lincoln, but he still is
as ,fervent in his praise of this shrine
of American democracy as the most
reverential of the pilgrims.
A former member of the Washing
ton park police, Clapham took over
the guardianship of the m m r
eight years ago. Now the place has
come to exert strange influence on
him, and when business calls him
away for part of day he says he
is impatient to get back again where
the rugged, kindly features OF the man
of the people look down on the temple
and seem to warm the chill air" OF
it's interior.
"There is something in the air here
in the memorial, feeling of great
ness that I can't explain" Clapham
saws. st believe it makes man bet
ter to have seen it, think it is one
of the greatest institutions for good
that we have. I believe that almost
everyone who comes here has a SINH
lar feeling
Among the millions of people who
have visited the memorial, there has
never been a case of disorder or IN
territorial disrespect We have never
been compelled to make single arrest
and to my knowledge not even an
attempt has been made by souvenir
hunters to schip piece of stone"
1t is estimated that 100000 people

stations in life-viSited the memorial
last year Because the three immense
entrances make it impossible for the
guard to count the visitors and at
tend to his other duties. the keeping
of an attendance record was discon-
tinued few years ago.
All types are represented in the
great host of pilgrims, from the Boy
Scouts who stand in reverential awe
beneath the square-toed boots Of the
figure of the enancipator to the
white-haired men who in youth an
swered his call to arms and who now
with trembling fingers lay wreaths at
the pillars of their states.
Cherry blossom time usually brings
the first great influx of motor pill
grims, although there is a steady
stream of visitors during most OF the
winter. They come from all sections
of the country, some in travel-stained
cars from remote States and others in
the de luxe models of the motor world.
Clapham says he counted 38 different
state license plates on motor cars
parked in front of the memorial at
one time.
No services are. allowed inside the
memorial and for ceremonies on the
terrace a special permit is required
The memorial commission believes the
temple is more impressive without
such ceremonies.
"You can't add anything to it; 1t
speaks its own piece and there it is, .
SAYS Clapham pointing to the in
scription on the wall above the figure
of Lincoln.
TN this temple, as in the hearts OF
the people for whom he saved the
union, the memory of Abraham Lin
coin is enshrined forever"

SPECULATION

Down in New York countless bears and bulls have been betting on how the stock market will react act, or jump. The fellows who put their money on the right horse win a handsome purse; the others gain experience.
 In New Britain speculation IS sud- denly taboo. That is to say, the kind of speculation represented in the purchase of lottery tickets. One can still bet on the stock market from this city. however. as that is a dif- fsrent kind Of lottery i'll the estlIna- lion of the law,
 Lottery ticket speculation has flourish throughout the entire coun- try. lt has flourished quite as much as during the days Of the Louisiana lottery, which was put out of bus mess by the government. Even at ina, time many people could not see much difference between the Louisiana lottery and marginal stock market gambling; but they had no influence in Congress.
 There IS small likelihood Of the lottery business being permanently injured. IL requires no exceptional ,isdom to realize that the tendency to bet on somet hing is q latent i'm pulse that needs little encourage men' 10 attain practical application. More important is the need for honesty and sogarrness Upon the part Of those n ho operate such popular lottery enterprises. So far 5 we are aware, there has been no complaint Tn this direction. Indeed, somebody landed s1,e"9 just before one of the lotteries was "closed" by the police.
 We have no bsiet for lotteries: VI" cannot help realizing. however. that hordes oe people favor tbe oppor- unity 10 wager q small sum Oil the possibility Of obtaining a large sum; they go into the thing with their eyes open, know that they possess a small chance of winning. but raallz" that 90 long as somebody gets tho money" they are wiling to pay for party. w don't think this type of petty gambling Is eyer going to he eliminated.

l the state athletic commission, he

said:
 T will recommend such legis- lation to the next General As scnlbly or to my successor The next legislature convenss in
 1929: and it is not at all likely that an outgoing governor would be in- recommendation at that time unless he thought it possible that he would have the opportunity by being re- nominated and reelected.
 If the governor decides to run again 1t probably would be termed his second term, although for prac- ucal purposes he will have been in office four years at the end of this year. As Hiram Bingham was elect cd governor four years ago and served one day when MT. Trumbull became his successor. he was not governor in his own right" as the politicians term it, until two years later. when he defeated Charles C. Morris. 1T the governor decides 10 run again it will upset the political apple cart. Friends of Lieutenant Governor J. Edwin Brainard have been busy for months repairing his fences in some districts under the lm- pression MT. Brainard would take the time -honored road and become the Republican standard bearer for governor Now if Governor Trum- bull runs again Mir. Brainard, instead of fixing things for a governorshlp run of his own, will have to busy himself for another tussle for the runner-up job. and another battle like that in 1928. when there was a spirited battle between Mr. Brainard and John H. Wddhams for the nomination, will be imminent. The lieutenant -governorship, being the acknowledged stepping stone to the governors chair, naturally evckes stirring wrangle every two years, with the organization candidate usually having the inside track. From this We get that Mir. Brainard will either be nominated for gov ernor this year or two years hence.
