readers are familiar. Did I get
any kicks? 1 did not.
So far as 1 could judge, there
was a 100 per cent agreement
that we have been credit drunk,
and that we have not entirely
sobered off yet. I was sur
prised to find that this group
of business men have much the
same idea that / have, namely,
that the r. F. C. is Squandering
our credit in a dangerous way.
Conservatism Holds
1t can safely be said that the
great majority Of the purchasing
agents of our big corporations are
Just about as conservative" as
ever. Several told me how sales
men are today coming to them
with cut prices, and even offer
ing to beat any price made by
competitors by 10 per cent.
Clearly big buyers figure that
we are still in a buyers market" !"
But to return to the progress
that we have made, we can also
mention the checking of cur.
rency boarding and the i'm
proved gold position Of the
country. Our banks have been
strengthening their position by
liquidating loans.
At the same time, our cOrpO-
ratiOns have been reducing Op-
Grating costs, and we find that
the railways are able to carry
large proportion Of gross reve-
nue. into net earnings.
Hope in House Cleaning
Wheat prices are getting down
closer to the world price level,
thus allowing the hope that some
day we can do some real exporting.
When you get right down to
cases, the real progress consists in
cleaning house-in greater econ
omy. saner standards of living,
reduction of debts, readjustment
in prices.
These are the things which will
lay the foundation for recovery.
Just as soon as we are ready for
prosperity, prosperity will come.

five days, guns and supplies. We

1t also was charged and widely published
that she accepted bribes for her influence
in connection with her husbands ap-
pointments, and finally, to top the list,
that she offered his clothing for sale very
shortly after his death.
During August 1864, Horace Greeley
declared in an editorial that if the elec-
tion were to be held on the following day,
which was August 10, New York and
Pennsylvania would each go Democratic
by majOritieS of 100000. In the same
month and year LincolnS Attorney Gen.
eral, one Bates, wrote: "The President
knows what is right as well as any man
and viii be glad to see 1t done, but un-
happily lacks the nerve to do it." OF
the Republicans in Congress and the
Senate 1t is recorded in the writings of
the day that no one in ten wished to see
Abraham Lincoln renominated. He him
self deSpaired of reelection, according to
his private secretary, John Hay. Under
date Of November II, 1854, Mr.. Hay
recorded in his diary an interesting Incl
dent of the cabinet meeting as follows:
'The President took paper from out
his desk and said: Gentlemen, do you
remember last Summer I asked you all
to sign your names to the back of a paper
of which did not show you the inside?
This is it. Now, Mr.. Hay, see if you can
get this open without tearing it. He
then read as follows:
"'ETecutiDe Mansion,
Washington, Aug. "a, 1864.
"This morning, as for some days
past, it seems exceedingly probable
that this administration 1oiu not be
reelected. Then it l0iH be my duty
to so cooperate lpith the President
elect as to sdue the Union bet,peen
the election and the Inauguration, as
he 1oiH haze secured his election on
such ground that he cannot possibly
saue it Gfter,oard.
"a. LINcOLN.'"
Nevertheless, he was reelected. Now
the American tourist in London who goes
to visit Westminster Abbey finds, just
across a narrow highway, statue, stand
ing well in front of that of Cromwell, and
on the base just two words, Abraham
Lincoln" No explanation of why the
ham Lincoln did. 1t is not necessary.
The civilized world is supposed to know
him. And when you measure the dis
tance from the walls of Westminster to
the base Of the statue you may say, as
did: HE almost made it. And even
so, he Is the nearest outside"
Let US consider, in order to make the
point utterly clear, some of the less dis
tinguished Presidents. Gen. Ulysses s.
Grant was not a great President. He
had been a great general, but under his
administration IN the White House he
faced a postwar moral breakdown.
There was outrageous graft and plain
thievery, but he was not bitterly aSsailed.
The Nation had been saved from division
and no foreign foes threatened its con-
tinued existence. Chester A. Arthur was
not great President, but the life of the
Nation was not threatened and he came
through with very little spirited criticism.
Warren Gamaliel Harding was not a
great President; he also struggled
through a postwar moral breakdown
Evening star., 1932-04-24

in public and in private by the most vile
and cowardly calumny. Not few bitter
tongues roundly asserted that Mrs. Lin
coin herself was in constant correspond
ence as a spy with the chiefs of the re-
bellion. Through her they obtained the
secrets of the cabinet and the plans of
the generals in the field. The insanity
of the accusation does not seem to have
been considered. It was equally unim-
portant, though strictly true, that she
refused to open her own private letters
and insisted that all that came to her
should be opened first by one of the
Presidents private secretaries"
Mary Todd Lincoln unquestionably
takes first rank among the abused mis-
tresses of the White House Her husband
must yield first place to Washington, but
first place among the women is hers
Coming to the White House with the de-
termination and ability to give it dis
tinguished administration, she first de-
cided to take charge in person and thus
learn how to organize her staff.
She needed only very short time for
this, and under ordinary conditions
might have won much praise, but it was
her misfortune to live in troubled times
The result was that gossips said she had
no intention of employing servants, that
she had been servant and would prefer
to do her own housework. It was widely
reported that she was scarcely lterate,
smoked a pipe and was a rip-snorting
rebel from the backwoods of Kentucky.
Now, there was no excuse for any one
to be wrong about Mrs. Lincoln on these
points. She was woman of fashion, de-
voted to good clothes and reared in COM
fort, not to say afiuence. The smartest
social grace of her day was to speak
French, and she spoke French. Surely
people must have heard her speak
French, and they could see her clothing
but the Nation was in danger, and
their way of registering alarm was to
tell tales about the occupants of the
White House.
Very slowly the facts pounded down
the first libel, so a second had to be in
vented. After they had seen little more
of Mrs. Lincoln, it dawned upon them
that the pipe story was no good. One
of the most scholarly men then in WASH
ington was the handsome Senator Sum-
ner Of Massachusetts,, loyal friend Of
the administration and chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee. It was re-
ported that Mrs. Lincoln spoke French
to him because they were carrying on q
love affair. Now that they could see that
she really did know how to dress, they
decided that she was running the Nation
with her extravagances and on one oc-
casion when she went to New York to
visit a cemetery-cemeteries must be
visited by the wife of the President In
time of war-the newspapers reported
that she had delighted the tradesmen
Of New York City with a day of in
dulgence IN extravagant purchases.
THERE was no possibility of honest error
on such a point of fact. This was
part of the hysteria of the day. Still
later it was charged in the cabinet that
her accounts of the expenses incident to
entertaining Prince Napoleon were de-
hberately falsif1ed for her private gain.

RUT there was more to come, a great
deal more! We were told that he
was not even an American citizen Since
then, it develops that he abused Chinese
labor, that he Is an engineer only by
courtesy, but in reality stock promoters
worse still, that some of the companies
with which he has been connected left
unSavory records.
I have talked with Herbert Hoover as
I have interviewed great many other
executives and engineers. If his is NOT
the mind of first rate engineer then
I never met one.
Mr. Hoover came to the Presidency In
very troubled times. He has initiated
certain measures yet to be proved by
experience. He has suffered more adverse
criticism and actual abuse than Grover
Cleveland and falls short only of Abra-
ham Lincoln and George Washington.
If he should fail, the crisis is so great
that the life of the Nation is suspended
in the balance. If his measures prove
adequate to preserve the commonwealth
he will probably take an appropriate
place in our history. And wouldn't that
be good joke on those who think during
the early months of the electoral year OF
1882 (as they thought of Lincoln during
the electoral year of 1864) that 1t would
be better politics to nominate someone
else?
Evening star., 1932-04-24

THE record of Abraham Lincoln's trou-
bled administrations is much better
preserved, and for that reason doubtless
many are under the impression that he
was our most abused President. He had
his share, but certainly fell far short of
Washington. Nevertheless, he managed
to garner the epithets of "usurper,"
traitor" "tyrant," human monstrosity,"
'baboon," "the slave hound from nh-
nois," "the great political shufaer," and
finally. of all absurdities, ".heartless."
William stoddard, one Of President
Lincoln's secretaries, wrote in his diary
during 1862:

ANOTHER BEAR BOTHERs FOXES SATHER FARM

Capt. Peter Sather, head of the Nuka Bay Transportation Com pany, brought his small yacht, the Nuka, into port Sunday afternoon and intended to remain in port until this afternoon.
 He reports that the Sather & Sather Fox Island is again being bothered by a black bear, who not only eats up the feed that is put out for the foxes, but is creating much fear among the foxes them selves by his presence. c apta in Sather says he has gone "gunning for the animal" on couple of oc- casions but he has never been able to get close enough to see the color of the bruins eyes.
 This is the third bear which has come to the island. Last year a bear swan to the island from the nearby mainland and created con- siderable havoc until he was forced to yield when felled by shot fired by Mrs. Sather.

TEMPORIZING WITH CRIMINALS

The Lindbergh Kidnapping case should at last bring forciby to mind that tepoiZing with the criminal IS not the correct method for meeting the situation Dr. F. Condon "Jafse,' who has wasted much maudlin sen tment on the wolves of society, has received severe blow to his supposition that there "honor among thieves His efforts to rehabtate criminals repaid with the doubecross.

 It is about time the word frame" deleted from the English language and replaced by that of justice
 Any man who has had experience with these enemies of society knows that the criminal at heart has naught but contempt for those who labor in his behalf He does not wish to be the recipient of this maudng sentiment It is too much like asking him to metamorphose his own vicious nature and take the atmosphere of his prey, whom he designates as "boobs."
 History is replete with records of attempts to mold humanity into brotherhood where each man voltonaly treats his fellow fairly This sought with the birth of Christianity Nineteen hundred and hiryWo years has served prove that there those who must be ntim dated by fear mental physical America was created as haven for those desrous of rising from their pre- vious thraldom their initiative If the theory of votonal adherence to law and order cannot be vind caed during the period of 1882 years it appears time to revert to those systems which to deter elim nate the enemy of organized society.

Two large whales and two seals used Resurrection bay as play field early Sunday morning, sport ing and frollicking about for some time, much to the interest of early morning risers. The seals did their stuff a few hundred feet off the dock.
