the Lincoln associations remained.
Reconstruction Well Done.
In recent years the "Old Salem Lin
coin league" has been formed at
Petersburg for rebuilding and re-es-
tablishing Old Salem, which will be
known as New Old Salem" Some Of
the original log buildings, which had
been moved from New Salem to
Petersburg, have been returned to
New Old Salem and again placed on
the original sites. The first building
restored was the Onsott cooper shop.
Other log homes and stores have been
rebuilt upon the old locations and the
buildings are in every respect to dupli-
cate the originals of Lincoln's day.
Old-timers who have visited the scene
and who recall the region from stories
related by fathers and grandfathers,
when New Salem was a thriving CEN

construction.

Humble Cabin
Was Linco1n's
Home College

! Modern universities cover many
acres Of land, boast towering struc-
lures valued at millions and employ
a small army of instructors.
: Yet, in the crude little one-ro0m log
hut at Salem, ILL.,, now preserved as
one of Americas shrines to the memo
~ of Abraham Lincoln, we may look
upon the now world-famous "fre-lit
home college" of a century ago, Earle
w. Gays writes, in the Philadelphia
Ledger.
Here in this Illinois cabin was born
that mastery of English that later
thrilled a nation into action and con-
tributed nobly to our literature.
The Henry Onsott cabin is well pre-
served, and nearby at hand is the IA
nous Rutledge cabin, wherein resided
the family with whom young Lincoln
boarded for five years, between 1882
and 1887, and where he became the
lover Of beautiful Ann Rutledge.
Then, at the left of the hill, we may
see the old McNamer store, leading
mercantile establishment" back in
1888. The right room was used by the
firm of Berry and Lincoln, grocers
and general merchants, and here Abe
told some Of those famous yarns.
Although these structures in "Old
Salem" rebuilt to become New Salem,
may appear as barnlike buildings, all
are in a good state Of preservation.
They rise from historic ground. These
"clearings" were continually the scene

houses many articles that belonged to
Lincoln and his immediate associates
the piano that was used at the we'd
ding of Lincoln and Mary Todd, the
side saddle used by Ann Rutledge,
Lincoln's surveying instruments and
numerous manuscripts.
Thus it is that New did Salem has
become a second Mount Vernon. It
lacks the grandeur Of Washington'S
dwelling, but it is a shrine of logs,
perpetuating the simplicity and the
poverty of the Lincolns. To many it
makes an appeal far greater than any
other, since it exemplifies the old
American teaching that the poor and
the lowly may rise to honor.

community going to ruin, though no
attention had been given to the old
structures for half century, save by
passing tramps, who sought shelter
under the leaky roofs, the cabins were
found in fair state Of preservation.
So much so that the committee
found it possible to rebuild the struc-
lures, shrine to the memory Of Lin
coin and Salem. Decayed logs have
been replaced, the roofs patched, the
grass cut in the front yard, so that
present and future generations may
look upon the scene as young Lincoln
saw it.
Town Of Salem.
Beside the Rutledge cabin there is
the Onsott cabin, where Lincoln toiled
in Henry Onsott's cooper shop by day
and saved plentiful heaps of shavingS
to burn in the fireplace at night. Serv-
ing both as place of industry and a
home, and substantially constructed,
this cabin was found in good state,
even the crude stone chimney and
fireplace standing.
The location of "New Old Salem"
to which a multitude of modern tour
lists now wend their way each year, is
at a point where the Sangamon river,
winding it's way from the southeast,
turns sharply westward in its course,
and, striking a high bluff, turns alb
ruptly north. The high bluff extends
north and south for about third Of
a mile, with a ridge extending west
ward from center, giving the impress
sion Of the letter at" On either side
of the bluff is small brook that emp
ties into the Sangamon. On this loca-
ton John Cameron and James Rut-
ledge in 1928 and 1929 had R. S. Har-
rison lay out the town of New Salem.
Cameron from Georgia and Rut-
ledge from South Carolina were mill
wrights. They threw dam across the
Sangamon and settlers soon began to
arrive from Kentucky, Georgia and
the Carolinas. During February, 1880,
when Lincoln was twenty-one, his ia
Their, Thomas; his stepmother, and the
family Of Dennis Hanks settled on the
north fork Of the Sangamon, some ten
miles southwest of Decatur, Ill.
Where Lincoln Studied.
Lincoln's arrival in New Salem was
about August, 1881, and he boarded
at the Rutledge inn. During the years
before he went to Springfield he
worked as grocer's clerk and in the
Onsott cooper shop, where he studied
at night by the light of the fireplace,
and at various odd Jobs as surveyor.
It was here that Lincoln gained his
reputation for wrestling, or "rassling,"
as he would have called it then. Wres-
Ting matches were to the young men
| of the West what football, baseball
and other sports are to the youth of
| today. The clerk in that country store
became the undisputed champion in
| that part of Illinois.
It was from New Salem that Lin
coin enlisted in the Black Hawk war
and came back something of hero.
Then, after a little electioneering for
the only elective Office which he ever
failed to win, he settled down to store
keeping with ian idle fellow named
Berry" and soon obtained the undis-
puted control Of the trade of the vii
lage.
About the time he left New Salem
foc Springfield the town of Petersburg
was planned and the entire village of
New Salem-residents, homes and
| stores-was moved to Petersburg, and

Appeal for Friendship

We are not enemies but friends. We

A locator flare" which he
claims he perfected and presented
to the Navy Department in 1920
would have prevented mishaps
similar to that experienced in the
last two weeks by Verne Warren
Harshman, Navy pilot, who be-
came separated from his com
panions in maneuvers off the
Colombian coast and spent six
days afloat in his plane before
being picked up, according to
John w. Currell, 521 Fourth St.
N. W., machinist and inventor.
The locator flare" is q simple
device, he said, similar to the
type used by railroads. A few
changes in the chemical COM
,osition and other changes in
the design of the flare and in
the holder and ignition make
the device simple to handle and
easy to carry, Currell claims.
The flares are Of two types,
one designed for use in daylight
hours and the other at night.

Hoover and His Six Point Program

Pres. Hoover has submitted a six point program to
the American people. His objective point is to create
jobs for all idle workers and to make it possible for
credit extension. His first point calls for the creation of
half a billion dollar private credit agency to handle
credits unacceptable to the reserve banks. His second
point the liquidation Of some of the frozen assets of in
solvent banks. What will happen if the frozen assets of
insolvent banks are as worthless as scraps of paper?
How will it be possible to bring about their liquidation?
His fourth point calls for the liberalization of the rules to
aid generally in credit expansion. Why not in these days
of stress and distress? A slight initiation in the volume
of currency could work no harm and do a lot of good.
His third point calls for regional bankers committees to
permit reserve banks to handle a wider variety of securi-
ties. If the securities are to be Of the gilt-edge kind why
should not reserve banks be permitted to handle them?
His fifth recalls the days of the World War. If necessary
he would have the congress Wall street create a govern
ment credit agency similar to the old war finance
corporation. Americans spent billions to help make the
world safe for democracy on the other side of the ocean.
Now they are asked to rally to the cause of credit expan-
sion and a guarded initiation of currency in order to do
something for the people here at home.
There are thousands of mortgaged farms and mort
gagged homes under American skies. His sixth plank
reads as follows: Strengthening of the revenues of the
federal land banks to further accommodate the farmer"
Woodrow Wilson had a policy which he christened
"watchful waiting" Well, it is up to the American peo-
pie to watch and to wait. There is no harm in trying at
least once a program that calls for the banishment of
economic disorder with a view to the restoration of pros
perity enjoyed by the people in the days gone by.
