Abraham Lincoln

The 123d anniversary of Ab- raham Lincoln's birth on Feb ruary 12 recalls afresh the greatness of our first martyred resident, whose memory is re- vGred by North and South alke, as is that of the peerless South ern chieftain, Lee.
 While it is futile to specu- '"te concerning what might U&Ve been, it is safe to say that had Lincoln been permitted to live until the end of his second rerm, much of the bitterness ngendered during reconstruct
 days would have been
 :Ged. His attitude through ... he Civil War was summed up in his second inaugural ad- dress: With malice toward none; with charity for all."
 Lincoln was opposed to slav- '-ry on principle, but his plan ".is to abolish it gradually, and .'ompensate slave-owners as .Ves were set free. He pro- .'aaed such a plan as early as @ when a Congressman, and
 wed the proposal as Pres
 in 1862, after the war
 :te in progress nearly a
 .t, Congress passed a reso-
 n offering the plan, but
 hout result except in the ,@t;ict of Columbia.
 throughout the war Lincoln's s '.'af aim was to preserve the
 'on intact, the slavery quest
 ing gsecondaryin his mind,
 Vas evidenced in his famous ep!y to Greedy wherein he Id:
 Ny paramount object is to @ia the Union, and not either save or destroy slavery. If 1ould save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it; ; f l could save it by freeing all he slaves, would do it; and if l could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that"
 Now, after 70 years, there are few in any part of the Unit ed States who will not concede that a united nation without slavery is best. It is we'll for America and for the world that on February 12, 1909, such a man as Abraham Lin coin was born.

apparently now unable to find the money for it's enormous ex penses. About $4,000,O0O,000 are being spent anually in the appropriations provided for by Congress, says the Wallace (Idaho) Press-Times, in an in- teresting dissertation on gov ernment finances. The article continues:
 Among the chief items of expense are $1, ,000,00O,000 for Veterans administration; an other $1,000,0OO,O0O goes to the service of the national debt, which at the present time is approximately $18,- 0O0,000,000. The annual in terest on this sum is about S600,O00,000; the annual re- duction at present then is ap- proxima e y $4OO,OOO,OOO. National defense, that is ex- penditures in behalf of the ar, my and navy, total about $700,, 100000. The department oi agriculture costs $221,OOO,OOC annually besides $1O0,OOO,OOC for the agriculture marketing fund.
 The treasury department re- gently announced that the defic- 1t for the last six months Of 1881 was approximately S1,- 300,000,000. It is apparent hat our federal expenditures must be reduced to meet the federal income. The budget must be balanced or the credit of the government will be inn paired. Such impairment will immediately be reflected in lowered quotations for govern ment bonds and securities"

"The Big Parade" I'm. patient Maiden on
 Same Program

What happens when Q blase young girl who regards all men with amused tolerance really falls ir love herself? This question is daringiy and eRjoyably answered in "The Impatient Maiden" uni- versal's sprightly comedy drama of life and love which has just been booked for Sunday and Mon. day at the New Garden theater. Lew Ayres, one of the screens most popular stars, heads the cast of this remarkably frank picture in the role of Q young doctor, and 1t is when Mae Clarke meets him that she decides that she really does not know all about men, after all. The event which bring about her gradual fall from her pinnacle of cynicism make of this picture one of the most entertaining screen plays of the season. Members of Ayres supporting cast, in addition to Miss Clarke, include Una Mer- kei, John Halliday, Andy Devine and Helen Jerome Eddy, and the picture was directed by James Whale, who has recently achieved recognition as one of the industry's outstanding directors.
 The Impatient Maiden was adapted by Richard Schayer and Winnifred Dunn from Donald Hem derson Clarke's successful novel. oYu can hear the big guns boom the airplanes hum, tanks crawl and the doughboys singing You're in tho Army Now" in that never to-be.forgotten motion picture, The Big Parade, for Metro-Gold- wyn- Mayor has retssued the famous King vidor hit with sound effects and it Is the companion feature on this bill. Stark tragedy and humor go hand in hand in this epic of the World War which re- solve itself into . simple but in. tensely stirring story of tho ex- periences of three pa1s-one Q gen. tlemen of leisure. the others com- mon working men. Three mus keteers they became, thrown to- gether by chance, separated at last the same way. As portrayed by John Gilbert, Karl Dane and Tom O Brien, they are real human be- ings.

 London.-Frank Borzage has di- rected many a picture, but he set some kind of a record when he filmed the London stage spectacle "Cavalcade" in three hours.
 But don't think you will be pay ing regular prices for film made in such a short time. The picture was made solely for Borzage's guidance in directing "Cavalcade" in Hollywood. !. It Is reputed to be the first pie ture ever made for use in making another picture.
 Here's the way it came about: One of the Hollywood producers bought the film rights to the play, which has been Q huge success here, and decided that Borzage was to direct 1t. The director im- mediately thought up the scheme of having the stage players go through their motions for the ben- eft of his cameras. so that he could see just what made London think the play great.
 When the same scenes are shot Tn HOllyWOOu, borZdBe VIII HdVc the British stage play right in front of him for reference.
 l c. B. Cochran, the British pro. ducer of "Cavalcade" on the stage thought the making of such a film would be simple, since he has a contract. with his players calling for nine performances week and they have been giving only eight.
 However, he did not contemplate enforcing his contract. He told all his people he would pay them for the extra performance.
 Nevertheless hornets nest came down on him. Unions rep resenting actors, stage operatives and musicians all came to see him and wanted to know "How Come ?"
 Their fear was that the film that was to be taken might be put out for the public to see and would set very bad and very costly pre- cedent.
 He quickly reassured them. Tho film was only for the guidance of Director Borzage, who came to

 Apt Roles for Stars.
 The peculiar fitness of the pro. duction for Barrymore and Miss Twelvetrees lies in its combination of gay and tender romance with tense drama.

 The picture concerns a brilliant criminal attorney w1o becomes a relentless and fearless prosecutor when drafted into the public ser vice. A devil-may- care sort of fel- low with vast personal magnetism, he is much ,soght after by wonen but remains true to tho girl he befriendcd fn night court, until lie meets q rich society debutante. AS his professional reputation grows. through the sending of a notorious murderess to the gallows. his TO- mantle complications also increase. Stirring Climax.
 A climax Is attained during Q murder trial which sees Barrymore seeking the neck of the underworld leader he once defended. It Is a scene rich in soaring dramatic values. It starts when the girl he loves takes the stand and he is forced to ross-examine her. The crashing heights arc reached in his burning plea to the jury.
 Superb support is given the star and leading woman by William Boyd who plays the underworld leader; Jill Edmond seen as the society girl; Mary Duncan, Raoul Roulien, Oscar Apfel, Ralph Thee. c. Henry Gordon, Nat Pendleton.

Frank Borzage Films "Cavalcade" in Jig Time, But
 It's Only for Reference in Hollywood

London specially to make it. He would use 1t only for reference.
 So all was amicably settled and the 400 performers went through the show mainly to empty bench- es.
 It took a whole morning of few erish work for the camera crew to get ready. About a mile of elec- tric cables were laid. There were batteries of five powerful lamps on each side of the dress circle, six movie cameras and five sound microphones.
 When the show was all over there was loud applause from Bor- gage and his gang of movie opera lives. Borzage also made the actors a little speech of thanks, and then flew to Paris before catching the next boat to. America.
 It its estimated that this exclu- sive performance, the only time in history that 1t has been done in England, cost at least $2,000. Coch- ran paid the bills.
 And nll the next day he was be- ing scolded on the telephone by society women, who were sore be- cause they had not seen this unique special show!
