One hundred and three yeurs ago today there was born In a log cabin In Hardin county, Kentucky, a boy. whose later life was destined to play a most Important part In American history. Of his early boyhood little Is actually known. There are many tales related but their authenticity has not been settled. Hut one thing Is generally accepted ap.y that Ik that the hoy's life wua filled with hardship and privations, with nn chance for education except that gathered at night with a wooden shovel for a blackboard, a piece of charred wood for a chalk and tlx flickering flame from burning logH for a light. Under such conditions did this boy get the rudiments of an education. Hut Uiohg hardnhlps only stimulated his desire for learn ing und It Is recorded that when tin opportunity finally presented Itself he became a most Indefatigable read er of the better hooks that wero In circulation in thoso days and commu nities. , Ills father was of a roving dispo sition and when the hoy was n mere youth tho family moved first to Indiana and later to Illinois where ft homestead was located. Tho boy, now grown to young manhood may be found splitting rails and killing hogs for a living, and ho was an ex pert at both, receiving one yard of homespun cloth for every 400 ml Ik split nnd 30 cents a duy for killing hogs. Later he went Into the gro cery business, and railing In this lie was made postmaster of a lltllo of fice. Ho was captain of a company for service In the Indian wars hut did no fighting. Ho went down the Ohio nnd Mississippi rivers on a river boat to New Orleans nnd there saw slaves sold to the highest bidder from the auction hlttck. He came back to Illinois and aTler drlfing from one thing to another lie finally read law nnd located In KpriuglleH In 1837. No pecuniary success had attend ed any of his labors up to this time. ; In fact financially this man was a I failure. Ho couldn't get on in mni-i noss. His lax met hods went not suited to the needs of hutdncHs. Yet be was a good, hardworking man. ' Ho told n story well, miule a fair Bpoech, was witty and above all he wns rigidly honest. Hut the real man emerged when he entered the legal profession. On the Hhlugle hiih emled from the door of Mm office was ,pulnted In crude lei tors "A. Lincoln, Lawyer." The years of hardship, of failure, of penury, of ridicule, of nlml.'ss wanderings had left their Imprint in the mind of this innn who now was ready to listen to the tales of others nnd help Ihem to a solution oT I heir Woes. Law and polities have aluays gone hand In hand and Lincoln w;is i-arh In the field. In fuel prior to holti admitted to the bar he had li.vn a candidate fur the .state legislature hut had failed of election. Me serv ed with some credit later, four trim In the state legislature and was elected to and served in the Nation nl Mouse of Kepre.'sntattves for two years. He aspired to the I'nlted States Senate, but Stephen A. Itouglas. the Little (ilant. n;iH successful after a long series of dehates with Mini. In These ,, debate brought Lincoln prominently before the people, not only of Illinois, hut of the nation The slavery nuestlnn was then ui pertnost In (he hearts ami minds ot Americans and In the debate.- with Douglas, Lincoln gave bis views on this quest ion. Then to as a new party la process (.f orguulyntlou which favored certain porgressUe Ideas and among these ideas was a clearly defined one In regard to slav ery. In 1 still Lincoln was made the nomlueo mf this party which h:is since been known an Kepuhllian nm! on a tidal wave of populartay .tue.n was carried Into the office of presi dent of the I'nlted States The lm pending crisis In our national life soon came and the great rebellion was on. The gaunt, silent, morose. smpa thetlc Lincoln was at the helm in this great struggle. The wisdom that came from the severe schooling at adverse experience was big enough to cops with every sltuutlou. No period of our history needed more the services of a great Intellect, a judicious guidance and a By tn pa thetic judgment. Lincoln combined all three of these. From early morn till late at night he planned, he guided, he advised, he counseled, he gave his whole soul and life to the salvation of the republic. Slav ery was not the lssuo in this con flict. The sovereignty of the nation was at stake. Whether the state had rights sujerIor to the nation was the real Issue. The liberation of the slaves from their bondage was an Incident to this greater problem. Hut Lincoln saw clearly everything. His mind corn pifoh ended eery danger, every pitfall. Ho was a good Judge of men. Although he was maligned and abused on all sides he said noth ing to or about his defauiers, but continued In his course, wisely and honestly to the end. Such characters as Lincoln seem to spring Into being to meet a critics) need. The JJIftf or death of our nation was in the balance. The exist ence of our liberties was threatened. Lincoln guided the nation through tho conflict and when his work was done he rested for a moment and In that rent the assassin's bullet was fired and the life of America's great est son soon passed away. He gave to the youth of the world an Inspiring example; to those In dis tress and trouble, encouragement and sympathy; to the hard-hearted and wicked, compassion ; and to the nation, his life.
