Addressing the huge Lincoln Day
celebration crowd gathered at the

. James A. Sheppard, chairman oil
the State Lsbor Commission. here

ly declared that no opportunities

children under the present system
OF government.
Averring that rs years ago today,
Abraham Lincoln put into effect
his Emancipation Proclamation
freeing the American Negro for
ever from the bonds OF slavery
and that by that momentous act,
great Lincoln did even more than
strike the shackles from race. He
testified his-full- faith that under
freedom the Negro would make his
own way and be a worthy citizen
10 the Republic, Commissioner
Sheppard said that the American
Negro has confirmed his faith be-
yond anything that even Lincoln
could have possibly foreseen.
True Americanism
Reviewing some Of the obstacles
and hardships faced and conquered
by the Negroes, during their rs
years of progress, Commissioner
Sheppard congratulated the Ne
groes for their true Americanism
and fine progress and expressed de-
sires to look forward to seeing the
Negro progress more rapidly in the
coming rs years.
In closing Commissioner Shep-
pard warned the Negroes against
people circulating among us, seek
ing to tear down a form Of govern
ment that has brought US where
we are today.
Our country is in constant dang
er Of the seh-seekers, the vicious
and the radicals. but, stated Com
missioner Sheppard. this is what
makes America what it is today.
This freedom 10 live, TO make a
living and to be somebody, is the
great emancipation for us ALL 1t
Is the truest of all blessings and It
is what makes America our coun-
try the finest homeland in the
world, averred Commissioner Shep-
pard.
After his address, Commissioner
Sheppard, representing Gov. Dick
tnson, received a beautiful bust Of
Abraham Lincoln. created from the
artistic hands of Dorothy Foster
Perkins and presented to the Gov
ernor by Miss Perkins in connection
with the rs years of Negro progress.
Following the presentations, the

CHAPTER vI-Continued

But Pedro dared take no chances.
His horse was frantic, and he knew
the deadly danger of a wounded
bear. Casting hasty glance at
Bowie, who lay on his face, he urged
his frightened horse closer to the
fallen monster Of the Sierras. The
vaquero eyed the beast narrowly
while he rode his horse, kicking and
flinging, around him until he caught
sight of the handle of a bowie
knife sunk to the hilt between the
ribs under the left forepaw. The
grizzly lay quite dead.
Fastening to Bowie, Pedro slipped
from his horse to examine him.
Dust-covered and mangled, the Tex
an lay in a rapidly widening pool of
his own blood. His heart was beat
ing family, and Pedro, giving hur-
ried orders to his comrades, raised
the unconscious man in his arms,
pushed up from one ear flap Of
scalp torn from Bowie's temple,
and, shouting for puffballs, plastered
the dry spores as best he could
over the unconscious mans head,
shoulders and arms.
