LINCOLN

Have long been a Lincoln
admirer. 1t is interesting 10
note that at long last Mrs.
Mary Todd Lincoln has been
vindicated of certain accusat-
ions as made by Lincolns
old law partner, Herndon.
According to letters and pap
crs long lost, Mrs, Lincoln
was not the shreW that Hern-
don painted. Rather, it turns
out, she was a great credit
to Mr.. Lincoln which is rath-
er gratifying even at this late
date. Many times people are
misiudged by strangers be-
cause Of certain biographers
who, for some reasons of their
own, tend to let their imagi-
nations run away with them
in order to make the story
better It may be coinci-
dence but many Lincoln stud
ents claim that Lincoln never
uttered the sentences carried
as part of our editorial page.
True, perhaps, is that he may
not have made them all at
one time. Also true is that a
critical appraisal of these
words certainly makes them
worthy of Lincoln even if he
didn't say them. Suffice that
I hope he did because they
are the kind of words Lincoln
should have said anyway.
(Another reason | like oil
Abe is because it was he who
first referred TO the little
woman as = you guessed it
= THE Little Woman! }
There has always been
some doubt in my mind as
TO whether walters really tell
the cooks all the complicated
instructions / give them!

Carroll Is The Traditional
Friend Or Negroes

When we talk about fairness and equal treatment
of all citizens regardless of position and wealth.
by our County Officials let's talk about Prosecuting
Attorney, Charles o. Carroll
I'VE have never had prosecuting attorney who
knew our problems and has the real personal acquain
lance with the district in which so many of live as
does Charles o. Carroll. He grew up among us. He
attended Madrona School He one of the boys who
played touch football on payfelds and represented
Garfield High School the city teams. Some OF our
best known athletes played these teams with him.
'our long time residents remember when, as a boy,
he carried newspapers to their homes during the first
world war He still lives nearby Many of people
know him as close personal friend.
Carroll knows better than most people the truth
about our own pride in community and the effort
we make to keep 1t worthy of own families and an
inspiration for children He has taken special inter
est in our youngsters who have before the courts
the delinquents who from community as they
come from all communities.
mo prosecutor in the past has been willing to
cooperate in attempts to rehabtate these boys and
arrange plans for keeping them out of future trouble
No prosecutor has done much in the work of assisting

bring these children up properly
when Carroll took office, he kept his staff

New Department
Store Is Opened

Mrs. Edith Schuler Schulz, a
merchant of long experience in
the department store business,
has opened a new establishment
at 2201 East Union Street. The
items usually carried in a de-
partment store, except grocer
les, which will not be added.
Most of the time of manage
ment is currently devoted to
opening new merchandise, and
the stock is rapidly expanding
in both the wider range o
items, and greater selectivity in
those stocked.
Mrs. Schulz, discussing plans
for the store, said eve hope to
meet the needs of the entire
community. Thus far we have
been encouraged by the num-
Der of people calling to inspect
our merchandise.
Asked whether the store
would include an expansion of
its present manufacturing, Mrs
Schulz said eve plan to keep
the manufacturing confined to
the present line of uniforms. p"
Explaining that the present
scope of manufacturing includ-
ed only uniforms for nurses,
Mattresses and medical technl-
clans, Mrs. Schulz said 1--WE
think this must be kept to the
present line. We are crowded
for space
This store adds materially to
the merchandising opportunity
of the vast community sur
rounding 23rd Avenue and East
Union Street. With the addi-
ton of this wide range of mer-
chandise, the business center
takes on increased Importance.

national ration for all persons,

Misuse of Word to Hide Facts
Charged by Fairfax League

forms, is a better arrangement
than at present.
Duties Called Identical.
1.-The county executive form,
moreover, calls specifically for the
appointment by the supervisors of
an administrative head of the
county's business and imposes up
on the county executive the iden-
tical duties which are vested by
law in a county manager with
the single exception of the pro-
cedure relating to appointments.
Under the county executive
form, the Board of Supervisors
has a joint responsibility with
the county executive in making
appointments or removing per-
sonnel, whereas under the county
manager form it is one-man
affair and the elected representa-
tives of the people would have
no legal voice at all in appointing
department heads or anybody else
in the employ of the county.
Our basic objection to the
county manager form is that
it fundamentally changes the
method of representation in
choosing supervisors in Fairfax
County. It requires at large
voting. 1t would mean the selec-
ton of a general slate by means
of pressure groups or cliques.
Thus the names of five out of the
six supervisors would be unknown
to the voters of each district.
Object to One Man Rule.
"We object also to the one-man
rule of county manager govern
ment, which makes the supervisors
f1gureheads. We do not believe
such power to govern the county
should be granted to the county
manager or any other one man
who is not himself subject to
election by the people.
THE people of Fairfax County
don't want any gang or pres
sure groups or anybody else TAX
ing over the county and putting
their county manager office-boy
in charge. The people want their
supervisors elected by majority
of the voters of each district.
They do want the elected repre-
sentatives of the people to have
a voice in picking the man who
levles assessments and collects
taxes. We feel that this is the
way to make sure that local taxes
are not increased at a time when
the people are being faced with
the high tax rate which is being
imposed by the Federal Govern
ment.
I'VE reiterate our advice to all
voters to vote in favor of change
in county government when they
answer question one on the bal
lot, and we urge them to put a
check mark for county executive
form when they answer the sec
ond question. which provides a
definite choice between two forms
only-the county executive form
and the county manager FORM"
