LINCOLN AND FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT

Today the nation pauses again in tribute to the memory of Abraham Lincoln, l6th President Of the United Sates-a great American who many believe to have been the greatest American this young nation has produced But that is covering wide field Suffice it to say that he was great American the greatest, no doubt of his time.
 More interesting today, it seems to us is the striking similarity between Lincoln and the President who now occupies the White House. Franklin Deano Roosevelt Differing in political party, the former Republican the latter Democrat Lincoln and Roose- welt compare in many respects having been struck from a common mould. Great Humanitarian can be applied to both Party lines meant nothing to Ln- con, or do they to Roosevelt when the common good of the common people was concerned.
 Lincoln is often referred to as the who abol- shed slavery but aside from that great struggle his biographers say of the martyred President;
 He admitted frankly that his overmasterng con- was the welfare of the free poor people of the white races"
 Is there not a striking similarity there with the utterances of President Roosevelt the under privileged of today his constant fight to better their condition?
 Roosevelt his more antagonistc opponents shout today is dictator and leading u. nation toward ab- solue dictatorship. This is what the Lincoln bogra- pher of the Encyclopaedia Britannica says of Lincoln in the same connection
 Too often overlooked or explained away his steady nssence the executive the proper centre O. Ggity n exceptional conditions and his virtual assU !ption of the role of dictator
 Anu tUln4l5 ,.ls personality of the men them selves. Rooseyelt's admitted charm of manner com polling voice and sincerity of expression well known to modern Americans His overwhelming victory. osing only states in 1886 his second election, up through his own magnetic personality.
 But what of Lincoln? Let us turn again to his biographer
 His GncOln) success in his second election when trigued against him justification of himself as the tribune of the people His hold upon them was accomplished partly by his utterances partly through the communication to others of the vivid and com polling impression he made on individuals close to him partly through the open receptions which ne held every few days which any permitted to attend He called them his baths of public opinions Through them he found out the heart of the nation and com mlInicated himself to the nation"
 How similar to the press conferences held by Roosevelt and his meeting with groups of all kinds from big business to the farmer from the Matanska colony
 And in their political struggles there is startling likeness Today there is question of the control of

produce the rich, delicious unvary- ing flavor that users of Hills Bros. Coffee expect? For sixty years these judges have never disappoint- ed the drinkers of Hills Bros. Cof- fee"
 Another advertisement quotes the old proverb, Too Keen an Edge Does Not Cut Too Fine 8 Point Does Not Pierce It con- tinues.
 This proverb can be fittingly applied to the grind of coffee. If coffee is ground too fine it will fail to produce it's true flavor Hills Bros. have proved this in count less tests in their sixty years in the coffee business.
 Hills Bros Coffee is guaranteed to produce the finest tasting bev- craze by any method of coffee making. Millions of people have proved for themselves that Hills Bros. Correct Grind gives the ut most in flavor in every cup again and again" Forceful illustrations, picturing the proverbs for the entire series of advertisements in this campaign, were made by seven nationally known artists.

Coffee Campaign

Proverbs Advertise Hills Bros. Product Empire
 Chosen as Medium

The large space Hill Bros. Coffee advertising campaign for the spring of 1888 got under way February II in the Daily Alaska Empire and in approximately 400 other newspapers between the Pacific Coast and Chi cago during the first week Of Feb ruary.
 The campaign, celebrating Sixty Years of Coffee Quality" has as it's theme series of old well-known proverbs-terse pithy phrases that express the wisdom of the ages.
 These proverbs say Hill Bros, seem to us to suggest Hills Bros. Coffee for they are the very max inns to which the founders of the business subscribed They expressed then, and they express today, the principles on which the business of Hills Bros stands"
 Typical of the series of adver- tisements is one which reads:
 The Horse is Not Judged of By the Saddle. .'-tAn Old Proverb)
 Experts who choose the coffee for Hill Bros are never fooled by an enticing saddle a fetching price or fancy-looking bean. They are interested in cup-quality only quality that meets the rigorous tests of long trained tastes Is it LID to Hill Bros. standard? Will it

Few Investors are Lords"

 T. M Girdler, chairman of the Republic Steel Corp adds his note to the cooperation chord which is hopeful than any other music the country IS hearing He also stresses however the dependence o industry upon the average investor who is. untor- tuately subject to fright and who, when frightened goes into hiding"
 More than $5o000000" Mir Grder says, would have be invested to build single complete, nte- grated new steel plant ready to meet the demands of present day markets It has been estimated that for every employed in the steel industry Sll5OO must be invested by someone. That sum does not include wages It takes at least that much money $1l 500-to make job for a steel worker Ccncretely put and worth thinking about It applies of course in relative degrees to other big industries financed by investors large and small. It has considerable bearing the S50000 0O0O OOO deposits in the nations banks June 30 1887 cited by Mir Girdler as proof that there is plenty of money available for investment and for in trade.
 That S60000 100000 doesn't all belong to the "arstccratic anarchists and lords of big business - far from it. lot of it belongs to little fellows easily made tmid by what they see read and hear
 It doesn't do to these little fellows too long or too much-not if investment, business expansion. more jobs and greater buying power what we really want

 The vote in the last presidential election showed that the Republican attack upon the New Deals social security program one of the dumbes political tricks ever employed in major political contest It the system of employee employer contributions to od-age pensions which Candidate Landon denounced a cruel hoax on American workers They did not to share his fears then.
 Today they feel the same way. For more than a year they have been getting pay checks with some thing subtraced for social security. But poll by the American Institute of Public Opinion shows that 77 percent of the workers and 64 percent of their employers approve the old-age pension tax. As APO summarizes it, They are in favor of the tax today, after years experience, than they before the tax went into effect
 This is a rather remarkable showing for tax paying of any sort has never been popular. It was of which Byron wrote Alas how deeply painful is all payment"
 The AIP.O. showing likewise refutes those who predicted revolt against the social security plan the people began to feel the burden of paying for it. This does not mean of course that there is no room for improvement in the present system. Quite the contrary. The experience of operation will show the need for many changes But not again is opposition to it likely to be made an issue in political campaign

Roosevelt over Congress and talk of split in his own party over policies
 Again we turn to the biographer of Lincoln:
 NO small part of the significance of this final tage is the struggle between himself and Congress for possession of extraordinary powers. Nowhere he denounced bitterly than in the House of Representatives by fanatical Republicans He was able to maintain this bold attitude involving questionable interpretation of the Constitution be- cause of the dominance he acquired in the hearts and imaginations of the mass of the people
 Yes there is much of the greatness that was Lincoln in the man who today is in the White House.
 There that outstanding strength of character; that enacity to ideals; that determination to rule through mandate of the people, that common sympathy and aggressive battle for those who Lincoln called the free poor people of the white races and Roosevelt terms the 'underprivileged.'
 We are not prepared to say that the qualities which made Lincoln great the qualities which today make President Roosevelt outstanding pub lie figure But there is little doubt that the biogra phers of fifty hundred years from will find much in the character and public life of our 32nd President which will weigh well against the grea ness which historians give today of the 18th President
