LINCOLN, A GREAT STATESMAN.

America pauses today in memory of one of her outstanding sons-Abraham Lincoln sixteenth Presi- dent of the United States. The story of Lincoln is traditional His life from log cabin to the White House is of the most interesting and best known in American history. His rise from poverty to power is typcaly American that he has often been called greatest American. But that is fine point too ready of argument Suffice it say that Lincoln to the occasion when the young nation needed man of brains and courage, and he contributed no small share in making this country great nation by holding it together when it threatened to be torn asunder over the slavery question. He made many enemies in that struggle and what his future would have been had he not fallen the victim of assassns bullet is probematical But he filled the breech when the nation wavered and his record in those trying Civil War days is sufficient to class him a great man
 shrewd lawyer a failure in business Abraham Lincoln smart politician. But he more than that. He bridged the gap between politician and a statesman when the need for statesmanshp arose. Government and politics were his forte but when it became necessary to rise above ordinary political ma neuvering Lincoln had the ability to do so The quail ty the is clearly reflected in his Getys- burg address in which he declared government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from this earth" Again on the slavery ques- tion he said Certainly the negro is not equal in color; perhaps not in many other respects still in the right to put into his mouth the bread that his hands have earned he is the equal of every other man. white or black"
 A Republican in politics, Lincoln rose above party lines. During the reconstruction period he re- pudated by his own party leaders Thaddeus Stev- ems the legislative dictator of that time when asked by Senator Ben Wade what the friends of Lincoln in the House" would say replied, Lincoln has no friends in the House" But Lincons liberal thought and ability for statesmanship far surpassed the politics of his party leaders that his name r history a great American while those of the poli- ticians of that day plotted out by the o time.

John w. Davis's Speech.
(Springfield Republlcanl

MT. Davis condemned wholly uns.-.d" the premise that the paramount duty of every government is to foster the economic life of the country. This equivalent to saying that governments duty to neglect or ignore the economic life of the country
 If MT. Davis point to any government on earth that does not seek to foster the economic life of the country-and has survived-he will make a notable contribution to the discussion. He cannot name an administration in our own history that proceeded on the assumption that to foster the life of the United States was beyond its province or duty

One of the intended Wafd moves

for the purpose, say. enemies of the
Wafd, of gaining control over a
young and inexperienced ruler
Another plan charged to the Wafd
is a law which would make it Grim

the Egyptian constitution of 1928,
This would prevent a minority par
ty leader, should such a party gain
power, from aboishing the consti-
tuition and playing at dictator. The
Wafd tried to make King Fuad sign
such a law in 1880 but Fuad re-
fused and the Wafd cabinet of
that day resigned.
King Farouk relies on a ire
mendous popularity to carry him
along until. as full-fledged ruler. he
will be in a position to make his
own decisions.
Today the young monarch is pre-
