Of Lincoln prompts the writer to make
correction to an error that many
have made, namely. that this statue
was the first one erected to the
memory Of. the martyr President.
Indeed. the writer may have made this
error himself. and even If he did not.
he did at least believe the statement
to be true But it is not true, and
to San Francisco, Washington must
surrender this honor Of priority. Here
are the facts taken from the Daily
American Flag, San Francisco, April
l6, 1866:
Inauguration ceremonies OF the
Lincoln statue In Saturday, the long
looked for statue of Lincoln was un-
yelled in the beautiful edifice bearing
his immortal name (the Lincoln
School House,. The ceremonies were
witnessed by large concourse OF
people. Several prominent speakers
were introduced, whose remarks were
fitting for the occasion, and listened
to with much interest by all present.
The opening commenced with the
unwilling of the statue. The boys OF
the Lincoln School chanted the Lords
prayer, accompanied by Willis brass
band.
"Mr. Badger then introduced Rev.
Charles L. Ames, who offered up
prayer to God for the preservation OF
the Nation, whom Lincoln, as it were,
died to save. The inaugural address
was then delivered by J. w. Winans.
Rev. DR.. Stone, Col. Hawkins and State
Supt. j. Sweet made appropriate re-
marks. Extracts from Lincoln's last
inaugural were read by Prof. Knowl-
ton; the singing of America accom-
panied by the band, concluded the
exercises"

Veteran Illinois Coach
Shows Oil Paintings
in Chicago.
By Russell LandsfrOm.

HAMPAIGN, ILL.,. May % @.-
4 Bob Zuppke, ''the gauguin of
4 the gridiron." came out Of a
skull practice session on art
today with the conviction he was
entering q new era in his painting
career.
The head football coach at the
University OF Illinois agreed with
critics that his second annual one
man show in Chicago disclosed a
changing artistic philosophy. He was
too modest, however, to go all the way
with the writer's who. without Indian
giving, commended the development
of his skill.
Il am trying to get away from stark
realism and am going more and more
into fantasy" said the veteran coach,
who in the campus camaraderie IS also
called "the Rembrandt of old Cham
paign."
"It is a bore to sit down and simply
paint a rock. so I am turning to the
more imaginative stuff, at the same
time cultivating tendency to get
more solidity into my work.
But I'm going to stick to landscapes
and some marines. Critics have OBJ
served that this exhibit shows more
evidence Of civilization mstinctively,
I draw the opposite way. My bent is
toward doing landscapes without a
trace Of human beings, human habita-
ton, or even a sign of an animal.
"As for portrait painting. none of
that for me. It cramps you. and in
duces q slavish professionalism.
"I am a lover Of nature that hasn't
been monkeyed with, not the scrs
represented by semi-artif1cial parks.
I have painted nature as it Is. Some
say 1t is a brutal technique. Well,
isn't nature often brutal? One trouble
is that some artists paint pretty parks

realism. One of the most vivid
canvases in his portfolio is Rattle
snake Country" an Arizona landscape
in which the sky has been streaked
with saffron and turquoise. A provoca-
tive performance, it prompted
woman critic to ask Zuppke, But
have you ever seen such sky?" The
coach said he replied. with q grin,
IT you ever stepped on rattler,
you'd see that sky, all right"
Years Of painting for his own pleas
ure, Zuppke confided, had nurtured
opinions of art and athletics, such as:
'The painter must guard against
becoming over-refined and drab.

ing by love and respect to the memory
of Abraham Lincoln, their well beloved
commander chief, we most respect
fully request you to have the accom-
panying laurel wreath placed upon
the monument that your zeal was so

The Lincoln statue in front Of the
court house had then been put in
position but a short while, and Mayor
Wallach gave the matter prompt at
tention, and forthwith ordered Chief
Engineer Sessford to put the wreath
in position, which he did by ordering
the hook and ladder company's truck
to the front of the City Hall, and about
noon one of the ladders was put in
position and the wreath was placed on
the brow of the statue.

Vt ALL started in a cocktail lounge.
Bunch of us were sitting around
talking about anything when Bob
xr+ Denton, the local Paramount news
reel chief, mentioned the Kellett auto
giro that was here for Air Mail Week.
What with the hour being late and
everything, We said we'd sure like to
take a ride in an autogiro. That was
all right, but Mr.. Denton is a man of
his word and a couple of days later we
struggled into the Office, only to re-
oeive from the telephone operator the
message that Mr.. R. G. Kellett had
called and said Come on out to the
airport and help yourself"
There was nothing else to do. At the
aiEport we found Jimmy Miller, the
fellow who demonstrated how mail
could be flown right up to your front

automobile wishing he hadn't been out
So late the night before. Feeling
much the same way, we climbed in be-
side him. Before us was that strange
looking contraption called an autogiro.
It looked like something Rube Gold
berg inventor had turned out; like it
had started out to be an airplane, but
tieainventor went to lunch and came
back and decided to build q windmill
instead.
We looked at it skeptically and Mr..
Miller looked at us the same way.
What makes it fy?" we asked.
.,"Well," the pilot said, 'it's like this.
The-weight of the ship pulls it down, of
course, and when it pulls down that
makes the rotor-the thing that looks
ike windmill-turn. When the rotor
turns, it pulls the ship up." (Cue for
our best double-take expression) }

that's what happens"

troIisd. The only control surface COM
parable to an airplane's is the rudder;
there are no elevators and, since the

the streets in the exact ratio of their
continued willingness to take chances
when driving or walking. Many Of the
victims, Of course, will be innocent Of
deliberate fault, yet the principle in
volved will remain unaffected. Accidents
are the price Of human folly. Every
body should be familiar with the risks
of trafiic. The average individual is
perfectly well aware that he Is gambling
his existence when he steps out from
behind parked car into a stream of
moving vehicles. Why, then, does he
break the natural law? The answer is
that, Realistically, he believes that he is
immune from the penalties of his fool
hardness. He must be educated to a
more rational point of view, guarded
against himself.
Specifically, children must be super
vised in their use Of the streets. No
child untaught to be careful should be

tor Bachman, 1t was generally under
stood that he had been hand picked as q
man certain to support the President In
his fight to reorganize the Supreme
Court. The new Senator stood with the
President on that issue, but 1t was not
long before he began to veer away from
other New Deal policies.
He opposed Government competition
with business, demanded retrenchment
in Federal expenditures and took issue
with the philosophy that policy Of
scarcity could bring economic recovery.
Then he indorsed Senator Gillette Of
Iowa, who had been marked for elimi-
nation by the New Dealers. In short,
Mr.. Berry moved whole e-heartedly into
the camp of those described by the Pres
ident as "yes-but" Democrats.
There was also the factor of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority investigation of
claims that Senator Berry and his asso-
ciates had sought some $5,000,00 from
the Government as compensation for
allegedly worthless marble deposits
flooded by the waters of Norris Dam.
Despite his denials of any improperly,
that charge hurt him with the voters
and undoubtedly Influenced the Presi-
dent in making no effort to help him In
the primary.
Regardless of whether Senator Berry,
who had helped materially in the elec-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt, made his move to
the right before or after the President
learned of the T. v. A. incident, his
defeat can be expected to strengthen the
Presidents position in the Senate.

The Free Press.

Disclosure of efforts by the Republic
Steel Corp. to cultivate" newspaper
publishers and editors with a view toward
getting or keeping them on the right"
side, might be considered an interesting
and somewhat significant sidelight to
current suggestions for investigating the
press of the Nation.
In fact, it leads to the thought that
perhaps it might be more effective and
more productive to investigate the sources
of influence which so often are brought
to bear upon the press.
1t is not debatable question that
newspapers are commercial enterprises,
but for the great majority of them there
is positive feeling of public RESPONSE
bility which almost daily is in conflict
with the pressures brought by special in
terests in behalf Of special treatment
Admitting that some of the press re-
spends to this pressure, it still is con-
tended that most of it does not. Re-
public Steel, according to letters ex-
changed among its officials, found that
such response was missing in Birming-
ham, Ala, where radically inclined"
editor refused ito stay put" In Canton,
Ohio, another editor declined to halt
publication OF strike extra on warning
that such action would leave him plenty
to apologize for"
The press as whole has reason to take
much satisfaction from such conduct by
its membership-the sole qualification
being that resistance to influence should
not be exercised in the case Of Republic
Steel Corp alone, but in event Of unjusti-
fable pressure from any source, public
or private.

Education for Safety.

Major Ernest w. Brown knows traffic
problems intimately. He has specialized
in the study Of the perils of the streets
for years. 1t is not too much to say
that he was nationally famous as an
authority on highway hazards long
before he became superintendent of
police in the Capital. When he speaks
on the subject, he can quote from
abundant experience. His decision that
children found playing in danger of
mortal injury are to be taken home to
their parents may be accepted as an
example of his wisdom in the circum-
stances. Fathers and mothers in general
also will indorse his intention to barri-
cade dead end" and little used streets
as emergency Fairgrounds.
