LINCOLN WOULD LAUGH

Jacksonville Register-Paj jaronian)
More than once as history and the hfe
of Abraham Lincoln show, the Great
Emancipation was saved in the nick of
time by great and useful sense of
humor.
We believe that Lincoln's beloved,
homelv face would twist into a grin II
he could read the Seabee composition
paraphrasing his own historic address at
Gettysburg, written nearly meter Tor
meter with his words, but describing the
plight of construction battalion IN the
South Pacific.
1.-TWO score and seven days ago Car
penter's Mate Arvin Sell writes. our
battalion brought forth upon this lslana
a new project, conceived in foXhole ana
dedicated to the proposition tnat all
Japs are created evil :.
"The world will little note nor long
remember what we build here, but we
shall never forget the hash and beans
we ate here Let us resolve that we
shall not have sweat in vain; that this
battalion shall have 80 days of freedom
in the u. S. by Easter, and that this
thought shall not perish from our hopes.
The parody will offend none but the
narrow and unthinking. The boys IN the
battle areas need sense OF humor as
desperately as Lincoln did in his war
travails. We venture the belief that the
great man himself-who never could
keep a straight face when anything conn,
cal was going on, and who understood
ceremonial pomp far less than he under
stood his fellow men-would be the 1lrst
to give a loud guffaw at the humor OF
the struggling young Americans VINO,
unabashed, produce parody on the
words of their idol.
And Abraham Lincoln, VINO pardoneo
a young sentry who fell asleep on outy'
undoubtedly would hope that those Sea-
bee buddies of carpenters mate Sell,
building their bridges and gun emplace-
ments and sanitary systems in the South
Pacific mud, get their $50 days OF free
dom in the U. S. by Easter We do.

Increased
Metal Supplies

WASHINGTON, Feb II. (UP)-
A sufficient quantity Of steel, alum
mum and copper but serious short
ages of lumber, leather, and tex
tiles are foreseen for 1914 by a
high war production board official.
The official said that despite
vigorous efforts to step up WOOD
production and push the scrap pa
per drive the shortage of materials
to make paper products is increas-
ing at an alarming rate Included
among the paper products threaten
ed by the shortage are munitions
containers.
On the leather shortage, he said
Supplies are getting tighter daily
and it might even be necessary to
cut down the present shoe ration
of two pairs per year. Shoe ration
ing officials, however, indicated
there was as yet no change IN their
plans to continue the ration at
the present two-pair figure.
The shortage in textiles and lum-
ber stems chiefly from the man
power shortage in those industries
and could be ended overnight" if
enough workers could be found, the
WPB official indicated. He said
a labor shortage was not involved
in the leather pinch, however, but
rather the lack OF government con-
troll over the marketing of hide ami
mails.

WHAT WOULD LINCOLN
SEE AND SAY TODAY

In these troubled days with the world
at war; with the worlds economic life in
turmoil and grave danger; with the
greatest need for leadership in history,
many have asked and tried to answer,
what would Lincoln do or say
This day the nation marks the ami
versary of his birthday, February II,
1909. Whether or not anyone can answer
the question, it is we'll to pause and re-
call what Lincoln did do wnen the nation
itself was at stake No leader can iml-
tate the Great Emancipation, but all lead
ers can learn something of his thoughts
and actions in the terrific period IN
which his leadership guided the nation.
little more than four years he led. yet
he had to meet problem equal to the
problems of century.
We should hearken to his words "let
us bind up the nations wounds. Ear
ahead of the time when the strife would
end and the beginning of rebuilding
country torn asunder, he saw the need and
prescribed the cure. Today he would IND
a country filled with class hatred, with
influences tearing down; with petty bick-
erings between politicians and Leaders
intent only in forwarding their own ambi-
tions. He would find still the spirit OF
secession, of revolt.
He would see another form of slavery.
He would see people worn down by
unwarranted powers assumed by OIL
springs of government: he would see free
enterprise struggling against steadily
growing RECOMMENDATION the autocratlc
ordering of mems thoughts and actions;
he would see labor and capital at war,
brought on and aggravated by those who
followed him in leadership. He would
wonder perhaps, if his declaration that
the right of labor to strike should be
inviolate, was right. His was the vision
and belief that labor should have a
voice in its handiwork. He saw only
fairness and honesty and logic between
worker and hirer.
There hardly is an end to changes IN
the picture Lincoln would see were he
to appear today He could see only
greater burdens to bear were ne to be
given the task again.
There is the brighter side, too. The
man of Illinois visioned all and more
than the place the United States occu-
pies todaV. He would see much OF his
vision fulfilled He would see completed
his vision of a place of homes from At
lantic to Pacific He would see tremend-
Gus strides in progress.
9 But he could not nelp seeing people
gambling with their liberty and freedom
and democracy.

PASS THIS ALONG

From the Rocky mountains east,
terrific winter blast of snow and gales
is sweeping the country. Snow in many
areas is more than foot deep from the
current fall. Temperatures are ranging
from "away below zero" to more than
freezing. Here in the valley we should
not gloat, perhaps, but there is great
temptation to do so. However, let's be
thankful that such things can't happen
here and be generous and tell people far

WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

There is one way that we could
halt the rise in juvenile delin-
auency - but it is too simple
solution to be given a prolonged try.
1t is for the mothers of the coun-
try to adopt a policy OF first
things first" and put the building
of an adequate family lie and
the welfare of their children ahead
of everything else.
Such a policy would take working
mothers out of their full time jobs
except for those who need their
pay checks to give their children
the necessities of life.
It also would keep at home such
women as Mrs. Brown, who is
needed in volunteer war work.
Mrs. Brown does volunteer, work
every afternoon. And while she is
working and gossiping with the
girls" and taking time for cup OF
coffee at the drug store afterward,
her three small children are home
alone.
Mr.. Brown wouldn't have put up
with such duty Sinking back IN
the old days-when bridge was the
best excuse Mrs. Brown could have
offered from running out on her
Job of being a mother.
FEELS VIRTUOUS
But Mrs. Brown has him buf-
faloed now. If he complains be-
cause the kids are SO much alone,
or because sandwiches have become
customary for the evening meal, or
because Mrs. Brown is always too
tired to show much interest in
family matters, Mrs. Brown looks
at him as though he were delib-
erately trying to sabotage the wal
effort and tells him how important
the work is that she is doing out
side their home.
And it is important work. But
not as important as giving three
children the right care and training
and the feeling that home Is
wonderful place to come back tt
because Mother" is there.
Thousands of mothers today arr
making the grave mistake OF put
ting fifth or sixth or even tentf
things first in their lives.
They kid themselves into think
ing that building up a nice banl
balance, or earning enough none.
for better clothes and furniture, o
enjoying the independence OF
separate income, or getting them
selves known as ardent volllntee
workers, are things of first impor
tance.
But the first and most importan
job for a mother is bringing up tn
right kind of children.
