Lincoln was only thirty-one years
old at this time but his attitude was
that of beaten, frustrated man who
had outlived his usefulness He was a
dweller in limbo, and although he did
marry Mary Todd two years later, it
was a long. long time before he
emerged again into light bright enough
and clear enough to enable him to see
theroad before him. During fourteen of
what should have been the most pro-
ductive years of his life, he virtually
stood still. Although great issues were
being argued more and more hotly
throughout the nation, the man who
was destined eventually to decide them
seemed as Indifferent to them as he
was to his own advancement.
After his miraculous election to the
Presidency The won with only
minority of the popular vote) Lincoln
found himself hurled into the most
awful, bewildering situation that has
faced any Of our Chief Executives.
When he said there was task before
him greater than that which rested
upon Washington" he was not ex-
aggerating He knew all too we'll that
his experience in public life was pitt
fully inadequate; he had had no ex-
perience whatever in any executive
capacity The majority of his ad-
visers we're either corrupt or incom-
petent, or both, and the crisis pre-
cipitated by the South's secession was
one for which there was no precedent
whatever His only old friends -
Speed and lIerndon and the rest -.
we're far behind him. His wife's sole
concern was with the social splurge
made possible by her new, sudden
eminence. He was man alone. and
he was by no means certain that he
had truth and justice with him" -
and he betrayed again the weakness
which. twice before, had all but ruined
his life
Lincoln's first winter of discomfort
in the White House - the winter of
l86l-l862 - represented the third
phase in his life of surrender to des-
pair. His indecision, his fluctuations,
we're well-nigh hysterical. The North
ern armies in the field were making a
poor showing against the genius of the
Southern generals. Lee and Jackson.
The policy of the administration was
being dominated by such men as Ben
Wade and Thaddeus Stevens. The
tragedy of Lincoln's bewilderment
was heightened by the death of his
second son, Willie. and by the mani
acal conduct Of his wife.
With no knowledge of military
affairs. he had to choose between vari-
GUS generals with widely divergent
plans of campaign. lie believed. as do
so many Others who indulge in under
standably wishful thinking in war
time. that the whole horror could be
ended in a day in one decisive battle.
But where was that decisive battle to
he fought and who should command
the Union forces in it? In the mean
time. there was actual danger that the
Rebels. by sudden thrust. might
capture Washington itself
Lincoln pinned his faith upon that
brilliant coxcomb George B. McClel-
Ian. who showed great ability in
organizing the army but none in lead

Yes-Banks Want To Make Loans!

A short time ago Gurden Edwards, Director of the
"A Research Council of the American Bankers AS
sociation had extensive survey made to find out
just how interested banks in making loans. And
here, according to the published report, is what
found:
l. A very high percentage of commercial banks
are making active efforts to stimulate the use Of
bank credit by both business concerns and indi-
viduals.
g. They have made liberal adaptations Of their
loaning methods and policies to meet varied require
ments of individuals and business concerns applying
for credit
g. The needs Of small borrowers in the fields Of
business and personal finance alike are being we'll
taken care of by the commercial banks.
This shouldn't come a surprise to anyone who
has thought about banking. Loans are commercial
banks main source Of livelihood. They pay the over
head and the profits, if any. They help the commun
iy to grow which is necessary to the growth of the
bank.
No banks want to refuse any loans, but there is
percentage of loan applications which must be re-
fr1sed-because they are unsound or unsafe, would
endanger the depositors' savings and perhaps be
illegal After ALL the banker doesn't the money,
and the protection of his depositors who do it,
must come first But that doesn't obviate the fact that
banks are more than eager to make sound loans, for
any productive, legal purpose.

Public Confidence Restored

MO Republican discourse is deemed orthodox with
~ out an admonition for return of confidence,
plea for faith. Whether on the radio, in dignified
senatorial dscourses or in the riotous rantings
Of Congressman Dewey Short of Missouri and Ham
ilton Fish, the appeal is that the public might again
repose confidence in business" and in "our Ameri
can way of life"
But there is scarcely public or private report of
consequence such important matters as the safety
and savings that do not clearly disclose the existence
of this public confidence.
Since the Roosevelt Administration inaugurated
the insurance Of bank deposits the number of de-
postors and the total amount of deposits long ago
reached the peak of all time and they are increasing
month by month The aggregate Of savings in saving
banks, building and loan associations and kindred
thrift institutions double those of the lush
twenties under Coolidge and Hoover In 1887 alone,
Americans saved billion and half more than in
the great boom year of 1929 The assigned by
unbiased economists is restoration of public conf
dence following the bank holiday"
And the New York Stock Exchange has an
nounced that "the number of owners of common
stock in 50 representative corporations studied by
the exchange was 100000 late in 1888, as COM
pared with 165000O in the same corporations in
1929"
Many poignantly recall that a decade ago there
widespread ballyhoo about distribution of COM
mon stocks Everybody of consequence Wall Street
and in Washington advised seriously that "every-
body should have stake in America" Yet today,
without bayhoo despite depression actually a
result of it and the E of Roosevelt-more Of the
common people have confidence and have put their
money along with their faith in the big corporations
sampled" by the New York Stock Exchange.

president nt-Makine'

WITH the national Democratic and Republican con-
" ventions only ten months away, "president max
ing is coming to the front.
Candidate guessing from until the conven-
hOns open in June will be the nations foremost indoor
and outdoor sport.
One mans guess is as good as anothers.
Our guess is as follows:
Either James A. Farley, John Garner or Paul Nc
Mutt will be the Democratic nominee and Tom Dewey
the Republican.
It is our opinion Farley will seek the nomination
if Roosevelt does not become candidate for third
term.
If Roosevelt doesn't seek another term he will prob
ably back McNutt Anti-Rooseveltites will oppose Nc
Mutt throwing their support to either Garner or Far
ley and that will proong the balloting at the Demo-
craic convention.
Dewey, according to recent polls, is the choice of
the rank and file of Republicans, but is opposed by
COP leaders. If the politicians don't outwt the peo
pie Dewey will be the the Democrats will have to
beat.
The polls indicate much sentiment against Roose-
welt for third term.

Dams On Santa Cruz Some Day

HAVE you been out to the river recently? If So you
have seen the most water going to waste in the old

would mean to this part Of the state, from an iriga-

Cruz
While most Arizona streams have been dry this
summer the Santa Cruz has been raging torrent

GEOGRAPHICAL IGNORANCE

Because an official in a museum in
Amsterdam, Holland, believed that Oak
land, California, was a suburb of New
York, a golden throne, the chair on which
the Emperors of China sat for hundreds of
years at Pekin, was left unguarded in ara
ordinary crate with other freight on pier
last week.
The throne, which is valued at ST.
100000, is of gold, inlaid with mother-of-
pearl, and parts of it covered with black
and red lacquer. 1t stands on dais sup
ported by four dragons and bears carvings
depicting historical Chinese scenes. 1t
was struggled out of China some years ago
and stored in Holland. 1t was shipped to
the United States for exhibition.
When officials were unable to locate
the missing throne, after frantic search,
they cabled to Amsterdam and learned
that it had been addressed to a man in
California in the belief that Oakland was
suburb of New York.
Americans will promptly smile at the
ignorance of the United States thus dis
played by the experts in Amsterdam.
However, this ignorance of the United
States is equalled, if not excelled, by our
ignorance of Europe and other parts of
the world.

TERMS NUVEEN
REFUNDINC PLAN
fine PROPOSAL
DEALS WITH REFUNDNG OF
ROAD BONDS WITH GASo-
LINE REVENUE cERTIFI-
GATES
Especial to 1he Citizen

TALLAHASSEE. May "a
Rep. Walter P. Fuller of st.
Petersburg and a we'll known
Florida bond analyst, today
characterized the Nuveen plan
for refunding $127, 100000 worth
OF county road bonds with 3h
per cent gasoline revenue certi-
ficates as "the most constructive
proposal ever made in connection
with the staggering debt prob
lens of the state of Florida.
The Nuveen plan has been ad-
vanced to the legislature, subject
to Florida Supreme Court ap-
prevail and acceptance by in
dividual counties, as a proposal
to save approximately $4,000
900 to counties and virtually
eliminate ad valorem taxes for
highway debt service.
IF put into operation, Rep.
Fuller said, 'the savings of from
80 to 40 million of dollars to the
counties, important as that would
be, are almost secondary to the
benefits that would accrue to the
counties in Connection with their
other debt and taxation prob
lens, and to the state road de-
partment in connection with
maintenance and construction of
a state road system.
1T is extremely unfortunate
that this proposal has been be-
logged with big-little county
hysteria, and more or less brack-
eted with other gasoline alloca-
ton bills. This has made the
matter an issue entirely out of
focus with the facts involved"
Representative Fuller pointed
out that the savings under the
Nuveen program would be a di-
rect lifting of a burden of the
same size from the backs of real
estate owners where by law the
road bonds are fastened. The
counties would then. have only
the problem of minor tax levy
for bonds for courthouses and
schools.
The benefitting ramifications
of such a step would be many
