$50, 466 Federal Funds Are Allocated
To Henderson County, Breese Shows
In Resume OF Activities For WPA
l4l Women, 452 Men. Are.
Now Engaged on Prof. .
ects in This County

A total of $S3,466.6S of fed
eral funds have been allotted to
Henderson county by the Works
Progress Administration, not in
Guiding the funds supplied local
ly, W. E. Breese, director for the
eighth district, announced today.
Of these funds the sum of $751;
311.40 has already been spent, Mr..
Breese stated.
A total of al women are work
ing in sewing room projects in the
county and a total of 452 men are
on farm-to-market roads, streets,
sewers, repairs and painting of
public buildings, the report show
ed.
There are several projects APP
proved for your county and we
hope to be able to start work on
same as soon as we get the allot-
ments of money from Washing
ton," Mr.. Breese said.
He added that extremely bad
weather had held back construc-
ton projects, but that work would
be pushed as rapidly as possible
during the spring.
"This is a splendid showing as
to the amount of money paid out
in your county, but of course
WPA is not solely for the purpose
of spending money, but it is to
offer opportunity to workers to
earn a living wage. WPA is not
a relief organization, and when a
man or woman works for WPA
and gets paid. they are not receiv-
ing charity, but they are receiv-
ing that which they have earned
by working for same. This meth
cd will cause the worker not to
feel that he has been the object
of charity of the government, but
that he is giving a fair return for
his fair wage and also owing to
the number of hours worked per
week, still leaves the worker a
reasonable period Of time to see
if he cannot get into private in
dustry and take care of himself
and his family. l think the moral
effect of the WPA is one of the
greatest benefits to our people
and of course the financial help
has been of great value to them in
them with the necessi-
ties of life" Mr.. Breese said.

Sees Similarity In Campaigns
OF 1864 And 1886 With Respect
To Charges Against Presidents
Redden Quotes Lincoln on
Political Outlook As His
Birthday Celebrated

Drawing an analogy between
the administrations of Abraham
Lincoln and Franklin d. Roosevelt
with respect to political charges
made in 1864 and those now be-
ing made against Roosevelt, NJ. M.
Redden, county Democratic chair
man, said in an interview today,
Lincoln's birthday, that history
will be repeated and that while
Lincoln is remembered as the
"great emancipation" Roosevelt
will go down in history as Amer
ica's greatest humanitarian presl-
dent.
To-day Republican leaders
throughout the nation are cele'
brating the birth of Abraham Lin
coln," said Mr.. Redden. History
does not record the public life of
an American who climbed to the
heights of world fame against
greater obstacles than this Great
Emancipator,' In these days OF
political strife we are constrained
especially to look back upon the
career of Lincoln as he fought TO
gain denomination and reelection
TO the presidency of the United
States. 1t is also significant IN
the light of present political
events to compare the campaign
of 1864 with the campaign OF
1886.
Son August %, 1864, just three
months before the election Lin
coin wrote in his secret book these
words: This morning, as for
some days past, it seems exceed
ingly probable that this admins
tration will not be reelected,
"In this. opinion Loncoln's
staunchest advisors and support
ers concurred.
"The Democrats, Joined by many
leading Republicans. referred to
the record and charged that Lin
coin had been spending entirely
too much money; that his extra
vagance would break the country.
1t was fact that Lincoln had
been spending money in unpre-
cedented amounts. For this alleg-
ed extravaganza the Democrats in
their platform had denounced Lin
coin as q man who, if reelected
would bring financial destruction
or the country.
Likewise was Lincoln charged
with going back on his partys'
platform which the people had
/ never authorized. The Democra-
tic campaign literature contained
the following verse:
Honest old Abe, when the war
first began,
Denied abolition was part OF his
plan;
7 Honest old Abe has since made
a decree,
The war must go on till the slaves
are all free
AS both can't be honest will
someone tell how,
IF honest Abe then, he is hon.

She pointed out thai under our
