ASK HELP IN FINDING
LINCOLN RELICS HERE

What have you In the way Of Abra-
ham Lincoln relics In your homer
DR.. Louis A. Warren, director Of the
Lincoln Historical Research Founda-
ton, Fort Wayne, Indiana, asks the
News-Record to help in locating any
really genuine Lincoln curios In this
section. In the Foundations museum
and library and In many other his
torical institutions all over the coun-
try, he states, there are innumerable
priceless mementos of the Great
Emancipation, yet he feels that treas
ured away in many a home or office
there must be manuscripts, newspaper
and magazine articles, books and
pamphlets, pictures, medals and other
Lincoln items that are every bit as
valuable. He seeks the aid of this
newspaper and its readers in bringing
these to light.
Sometime next summer ut Fort
Wayne, according to DIR. Warren, the
Foundation will dedicate massive
bronze statue of the Youthful Lin
coln," done by the famous sculptor
Paul Manship. In connection with
this open house" DR.. Warren is plan
ming a special exhibit of Lincoln relics
collected from individual owners and
not heretofore shown in public. Each
of the displays will give full credit to
the owner, and perhaps the moore i'm
portant ones will later be purchased
by the Foundation. DR.. Warren
promises that all items submitted for
the special exhibit will be returned.
Local people who feel that they
have something Of unusual interest
should communicate Immediately with
DR.. Louis A. Warren, Lincoln Historic
cal Research Foundation, Fort Wayne,
Indiana, or Mr.. VIM. H. Morrow, Lin
coin National Life Insurance Com
pany. Seattle, giving full details con-
corning the articles in their possession.
DR.. Warren will then decide whether
an article is worthy of special exhibit
ton and make arrangements for send
ing it to Fort Wayne.
In the four years since its establish
ment, the Lincoln Historical Research
Foundation has become the center Of
Lincoln information in America. I'm
der DR.. Warren's direction there has
been assembled the largest private
collection of literature ever gathered
about one man, Biblical characters
excepted.

Fantastic oratory is INDUCED over the
radio and in political campaigns and
conventions The defeat for president
OF Alfred Smith by tremendous ma
jority did not end the Issue. The Or
ganizatlon reaches down TO every con-
gressional district and all the schemes
of the willy politician are used to elect
wet congress. Many good people
have been made to believe that the
enforcement Of the law Is impossible.
All that and much more, not the
least Of which Is the inaction OF pro-
hibitionists, calls for the writing of
this column that the truth may be
stated,
Law violation Is not OF recent origin.
George Washington said: IF the
laws are so to be trampled upon with
impunity, and minority O small one
| too, is to dictate to the majority, there
is an end put at one stroke to republic
can government" SO saying he called
out the American army and accom-
panied 1t to suppress the Whiskey Re-
bellion against national law. Efforts
at notification and repeal were not
effective in the days Of our first presi-
dent.
1t was the expressed opinion of both
Washington and Lincoln, that the
duty of loyal citizen requires OF him
! obedience to law so long as 1t is q
law, whether he believed In 1t or not.
II he believed 1t to be wrong 1t was
his right in an orderly manner to seek
It's repeal, This is true now. But
from whence are bootleggars recruited
and who are their patrons? BY what
rule of patriotism can either exist?
President Hoover said, IF q law is
wrong, its rigid enforcement is the
surest guarantee Of its repeal. If a
law is right, It's enforcement Is the
quickest method for compelling respect
for it."
If the Eighteenth Amendment and
its supporting laws are wrong, can q
state control proposal possibly be
right? Has the prohibition principle
no right in legislation for the govern
ment of free people? Can life or
property be protected without itp
Those who oppose the Amendment
have yet to agree upon a substitute
for it. They do not want the saloon9
The saloon had one essential evil. That
evil was alcohol. The vets say, "We
want beer"-alcohol. Alcoholic bever-
ages have never observed laws. The
dispensers thereof have been tried at
every point. They have failed every
hour of the hundred years of attempt
to regulate them. That is long enough.

DRIVE AGAINST DIVORCE
LATEST EPISCOPAL AIM

Chicago.-The Episcopal church has
begun new efforts to make marriage
vows stick. Members contemplating
matrimony will henceforth receive in
structions on the responsibilities of
married life.
New rules were distributed among
the churches of the Chicago diocese
yesterday with a statement from the
Rev. Harold Holt, rector of Grace
Church, Oak Park, in which he said
90 per cent of all divorces were OBJ
tanned on silly" grounds.
Three days notice will be required
before marriage can be performed
by the church, and couples will receive
instructions from the rectors that the
creation of a family is the real aim of
married life.

Full Gospel Mission
Full Gospel Services are being held
on Sunday evenings, and Bible study
and prayer meeting on Thursday
evening at Q p. NJ. vashon Community
Hall. T. @. Evetts In charge.
The matter below occupies the space
usually given to the announcements
Of the Presbyterian church In
Vashon, the Lisabeula Church. the
Community Churches Of Burton and
Maury and the Methodist Churches
of Vashon and Cove. Their hours
OF service are well known and they
each welcome all who will attend
This column has been made avail
able for April by the request OF the
pastors for some statements of facts
The occasion Of II is that some years
ago the Eighteenth Amendment tc
the Constitution of the United States
became effective. Within brief
period an organized movement took
form to secure It's notification and
repeal. 1t advertised Its opposition
widely, formed additional organization
and secured the influence Of large
part of the daily press throughout the
country. Some of the press have
rabldly attacked both the Constitution
and the laws enacted to enforce it
! Today only single daily in the State
of Washington stands for enforce
ment.
A persistent cry has been made for
a referendum on the question, in vari-
GUS states, many of them known to be
overwhelmingly dry, simply to agitate
the question. 1t has been kept before
the Congress, knowing 1t could not be
carried. Local incidents have been ex-
aggerated or perverted and widely
published to misinform and confuse
the issue in the minds of the people
Violations of the law have been en-
couraged and its enforcement dis
couraged. Public sentiment is sought
against the law as an infringement OF
the personal liberty of the people. The
claim is made that more booze is made
and sold and used than ever before
That our high schools and colleges are
being ruined with rum. That large
percent of residents of Vashon Island
make and use home brew That the
financial depression of the Nation is
due to the Eighteenth Amendment

Later, when his daddy went to tuck

"Marge was swell lady!" Well, It's
nice to know someone thinks you're

1t was a grand trip though. The
second day courtesy cars took lis all

to the old Covlngton log house for tea,

Adams and Mrs. Whitfield and started
home. The sun shone, the roads were
good, and we spun along up hill and
down dale with much gayety until we
left the highway up around Tenino
and tried to retrace our way by short
cut through Roy to Mrs. Whitfield's.
The fact that we'd cone over the road
on the way down, with explicit direc-
lions from Mr.. Whitfield before we
left, didn't mean thing to us going
back!
We tried to retrace our way by re-
membering the different COWS we'd

DANCED COWS changed their spots on
us! We were beginning to realize we

She knew we were on the right road

remembered it because 1t had such a
cute little house to go into-only-

certainly looked like the same calf

So Mrs. Adams went in and asked
the farmer where we were. He said
If he knew where we wanted to be he

to a road, and not to take that road
but to hunt for another one, and then

He can always trusted to get into trouble with other
countries and if there is trouble to make it.
In New York hotel the other night and the ether

The doctrine that two nations disagree must
rush the dispute along with many other nations as
happen to be in the mood to interfere
If no others do then must rush in alone.
That's the gst of it.
The Stmson doctrine would interest George Washington

Keep Your Shirt On!"
You May Need 1t Next Winter

Prof. Haney of New York University sounded note
Of warning the activity in the stock market
Without being gloomy about it Prof Haney few signs
Of immediate business recovery and doubts whether
rise in stocks is fundamentally warranted yet.
He points to these facts in support of his opinion:
1-There has been Improvement in basic indus
tries notably STEEL On the contrary the July figures
show lou leUels in steel production.
2-M0t0r sales for the month beL0W those in
June, and considerably beoW those in July of last

Prof Haney performs useful service, however, by
advising prudence at this period.
The average American has bad habit Of rushing to

Why don't you become en-
thusiastic. about something;
something that might make
you more useful to yourself and
others.
Neither pleasure nor profit
has made you really enthus-
iastic for some time back.
The years have made you
prosaic and dull.
You are not particularly
interested in anything except
your livelihood and in this
your interest is encompassed
by the shell of necessity.
You display just enough
spirit to carry your work on
no more.
At home you are not en-
thusiastic about anything that
happens.
Success attained by your
friends does not give you a
thrill.
You even dampen the ardor
of those with whom you come
in daily contact by your lack
of interest in what they do or
what comes of the completed
product of the place where you
are employed.
But why allow life to be-
come so drab and monotonous?
You may have to adhere to
routine but there are always
things for which to be thank
full and over which you should
be elated.
Don't be a dead one before
your time.
You need enthusiasm, the
kind that urges you on and
gives you pleasure in any
worthy accomplishment.

you desire, but If your own

your strength or prevent you
from getting your usual hours

But you don't care for her
kind of enjoyment and you
say so, although she often ac-
companies you places she does
not care to go, mostly without
comment.
You expect her to be willing
to do as you suggest but you
have no idea of falling in gra-
ciously with any Of her plans,
should she express herself.
What is the matter with
your line of reasoning that you
should expect to lead in all
plans for leisure and recrea-
ton?
You think you make a good
excuse when you say you are
tired.
But your wife is unpleasantly
aware of the fact that you
never are too tired to do what
you want to do.
Naturally she resents the fact
that you are only too tired
when her plans come up for full

Prentiss Was an
Amazing Genius

The real appeals to the
people did not begin from
the stump in America until
a century ago. Outstanding
perennial presidential aspir-
ants, like Henry Clay, were
wont to speak in a number
of States, but, as far as I
can learn, the first to tour
the country in a swing
around the circle, " on the
strength of his oratory alone,
was Sergeant S. Prentiss of
Mississippi, born in Maine.
Prentiss was an amazing
genius-perhaps the greatest
orator this country has pro-
duced, and by many thought
to have been the most bril-
liant extemporaneous speaker
in the worlds history. He
could be put upon a plat
form anywhere, at any time.
