s'There is a destiny that shapes our ends; rough
heW them how may.
Of all the famous men America has produced
since the colonies first settled, it may truly
be said that Abraham Lincoln man of des-
tiny Starting life as an ordinary backw0ods youth
without education and without ambition, he was
carried by the tides Of destiny to the highest posi-
ton in the nation and to place in the hearts OF
his countrymen which can be yielded to no one.
During his formative years, slavery was dom
inant issue in the nation, and his convictions on
this NATTER which were responsible Tor his rise,
came from trading trip to New Orleans, where
his first hand view Of slavery made a lasting I'M
preston on his mind.
Without education, he probably never would
have arisen beyond the station in life occupied by
his family and his friends But following second
trip to New Orleans, he received employment as
a clerk in the country store at New Salem, ILL
nois was named postmaster and became deputy
surveyor Despite the multiplicity of his tasks,
the work was very light and to keep himself oc-
cupied, he began to study law and grammar.
His friends elected him to the legislature, but
he had little taste for politics and soon refused
further nomination. In 1916 he was elected TO
Congress- but again his distase for politics caused
him to refuse to serve than single term.
His professional work drawing his entire IN
terest, and he probably would have settled down
to the profession of law had not circumstances
drawn him into the public spotlight
The question Of slavery became one of utmost
Importance and significance in 1854 when the Mis-
souri, Compromise repealed by the passage
of the Kansas Nebraska bill, introduced by Ste
phen A. Douglas. The bill aroused intense feeling
throughout the North and Douglas resolved to
defend his position in speech at the state fair
in Springfield, Illinois,
On the same day Lincoln delivered speech on
the slavery question at the state fair which dis
played his deep convictions on the subject and for
the first time showed his ability as a political de
batter.
Against his wish again. he was elected to the
legislature. When the Republican party was or
ganized in 1856 with slavery it's foremost issue,
it was inevitable that Lincoln, whose views on
the question we're so clearly the viewpoints that
the party needed, should become leader Of the
party in his home state.
In 1860 he was named presidential candidate
by the Republican party. His old antagonist,
Douglas, was named by the Democrats and the
anti Douglas wing Of the Democratic party nom
mated Breckenridge. Lincoln elected, recelv-
ing narrow margin of 1866, 1852 to Douglas l.
375,157 votes, while Breckenridge received nearly
a million votes.
Life to a man Of destiny is far from happy
one Lincoln was not fond Of public life, and had
no desire to serve in public office At no time was
he very popular president
TT was not ambition for himself which led him

HEADLINES


AMERICAN JINGOISM this week
seemed certain to push a record
high peace-time army budget
through Congress. AS the House OF
Representative considered the 1887
appropriation bill for army expen-
ditures, the army high command
warned that these are troublesome
times in the world, and Senators
and Representatives delivered bitter
attacks against Japan in an effort
to show that the United States
needs dominating naval and air
force.
Senator Pittman of Nevada de-
clared that Japan had violated the
nine-power Pacific treaty to respect
Chinas territorial integrity, and
Senator Lewis of Illinois forecast
Russo-Japanese alliance for con-
troll of Asia and exclusion Of Am
orleans from that continent.
| The war department. budget calls
for total expenditures of $543, 341,-
600, of which 1888, 782, 232 are for
! actual military expenditures, the re-
mainder being for rivers and har-
bors. Under the budget the regular
army would be increased to total
of 10000 men, the militia to a
total of 100000 men, sos new planes
would be purchased and $7,0O0,OOO
more than had been contemplated
would be spent on Pacific coast de-
lenses.
AS ANOTHER MILEPOST in the
1886 political campaign was reached
on Lincoln's Birthday, political OBJ
servers noted that one factor may
change this campaign into what
has long been urged by disinter-
ested observers: the discarding Of
the two old parties and the forn1a-
ton of two entirely new ones.
This situation has arisen from
the fact that Senator Borah's cam
didacy for the presidential nomina-
ton on the Republican ticket is no
longer being regarded as smoke
screen and that he may split that
party into two ranks, the conserva-
tives and nrOpreSSiVeS
| Senator Borah and President
Roosevelt are not conducting them
selves as candidates for the nomin-
alton of different parties are sup
posed to act. Senator Borah, who
voted for many of the New Deal
acts, has been visitor at the White
House, apparently discussing many
important policies with the Presi-
dent. And President Roosevelt told
correspondents that he would like
to see Borah nominated by the Re
publicans- because he would be
easy to defeat, but because his pol
icies, if he were elected, would more
closely resemble the present admin
istration's than those of any Other
candidate.
Since it is entirely unlikely that
Borah can win the Republican nom
nation, it is possible that he may
swing the entire Republican pro-
gressive element to the support Of
Roosevelt, just as Al Smith may
/ swing the conservative Democratic
element to the support of the Re-
publican nominee; all of which
would create an interesting high
light in American political history

Transients Beg for
Food---Buy Spirits
Policemen Have Lunch Tickets
For Hungry People and
Ask Cooperation

Two transient panhandlers
made our streets this week in
an effort to collect enough mon
ey for food-they did very well,
indeed. According to Chief of
Police Jos. Kusba they collected
a snug amount, and proceeded
to imbibe Of the amber fluid and
strong drink, until they became
intoxicated. When apprehended
it was found that they had one
quart in reserve, which they
were unable to kill, having been
stated or rather polluted with a
plentiful supply Of moisture and
were unable to continue with
the work in hand. This escapade
cost the city, besides the money
collected from citizens, trip to
the city bastille in a taxi cab,
food for both and an escort out
of town. Chief Kusba says that
experiences such as these are
unnecessary If residents Of the
city will send all beggars to the
policemen. AS in the past the
police department has lunch
tickets which are given to those,
who are found to be worthy.
Chief Kusba asks that the citi-
zens cooperate with the depart
ment in this matter.

This country is said to be more or less
 movie minded But perhaps we have had pictures for so long now that they are taken for granted; but there is, nonethe- less, large picture going public. If you were asked which city was the greatest picture-going one in the world, you might answer, New York, or some other large city. AS matter of fact, Dublin in the Irish Free State is said to be the greatest picture-going city in the three kingdoms if not the whole world, and this is so even though pictures are pretty much censored before released with subsequent cuts that sometimes do not help the picture any. But Ireland is very particular about morals, and the cuts s-c made willy4n1lly. In proportion to it's population Dublin has the highest proportion of cinema seats. It is a common thing over there to see large picture house with restaurant at- tached. so that one can drop in for bite before or after as at any of the Savoy Cinemas in either Dublin or Cork.
