LINCOLN'S
It often proves difficult to teach moral lessons to peo
ple, but you can always get them to feel admiration for the
achievements and character of a great man. Thus uncon
sciously they appropriate moral truth, for when they admire
such a one, something of aspiration to do as he did must en
ter their minds. The birthday of a great patriot like Abra
ham Lincoln, which occurs February 12, ought not to pass
without reminding the people of his nobility of character, in
tjie hope that some spirit of emulation of his great qualities
may enter into the average mind. The world has produced
very few men who more than Lincoln combined the quali
ties of power and love. As respects power, his dominating
intellect led his generation, it successfully fought a great
war, it held together a nation that was breaking in pieces.
But Lincoln was far more than a mere man of power. He
had also love for humanity in a superlative degree. If
he could have continued president (flirough the reconstruc
tion era, the bitterness of that period would have been
avoided by the generous spirit of his nature. His early ex
periences in a home of poverty gave him a deep sympathy
to all struggling people. His heart and interest went out far
more to such folks than to the cultured and successful and
competent who could take care of themselves. Wherever
Hie saw people fighting for a foothold in the world, and toil
ing for their homes and families and for growth and de
velopment, his whole heart went out to them. We need more
of the Lincoln spirit today, that shall break down the spir
it of antagonism that so frequently rises between classes
and sections, and that shall soften the , friction of these
times by a general movement for fraternal spirit and good
neighborliness.
. o
'.. The report of (lie Umpqua Valley Canning Company, a
local institution, shows that approximately sixty thousand
dollars had been expended during the last year to growers
and paid out in salaries to employees. All things considered,
the season was very successful and the worth of the cannery
to the farmers and people generally of this community is ot
more than ordinary importance. There still remains on hand
a considerable amount of canned goods to be sold, but it is
understood that all surplus will be placed on Ifce market in
the near future, practically cleaning up the entire output ot
the year. Considering the fact that the cannery is now in
its own home, new equipment and better facilities added
throughout to make the plant more profitable in the way ot
production, the report submitted by Manager Geddes is
above expectations. The cannery is a purely local enterprise.
Farmers and business men of Roseburg are its backers, and
while they do not expect any big returns on their investment
for some years to come, the fact that the insuuiion is mtm
ing a solid foundation and showing a deserving patronage is
very flattering to all those who arc interested in the success
f the cannery.
. c
Tourist travel through Roseburg on the Pacific highway
Is greater at this period of the year than ever before in the
history of this section of the state. Most of the travel is di
rected south to points in California. The fact that the road
way is now in good condition throughout the entire distance
makes winter travel a great pleasure to those who wish to
take advantage of a milder climate for a few monlQis in the
year. Hardly a day passes but numerous cars occupied by
people bent on a pleasure jaunt, and who register at local
hotels, all stating their destination as southern points for a
few month's vacation. Evidence of the populariy of the Pa
cific highway is this extra heavy traffic during mid-
winter months.
o
After discussing lower taxes for two years and urging
protective measures for the reduction thereof we are begin
ning to wonder what a summary of the 1923 session of the
Oregon state legislature is going to determine. If an ap
preciable saving is not advanced we had better turn our
thoughts toward evolving some new means of conducting
state affairs. Surely, there must be some way of . applying
business-like methods to get concrete results.
o
. Today we celebrate the birth of the greatest American -Abraham
Lincoln.
We hope the Collins cave myhtory will be clarified be
fore nightfall.

DOKTML'ND. Germany,

sion and fire dump in the

The bodies of that number 1
of victims of the disaster
had been extracted from the
mass of debris before dark
this evening.
The tragedy was enhunced e)
by the fact that the heroic
efforts of fellow miners to
I reach their comrades not kll-
I led by the explosion were 1
blocked by the destruction of
the shafts leading to the spot,
e so that at least thirty died
w iruiu una owvtio ui -w

FISH COMMISSI
BILL IS PASSED
(Anochud Pnm Lnmd Wire.)
STATEHOUSE, Salem, Or.,
Feb. 12. After a very brief
debate and with no spirited
speech making except that ot
Senator Joseph in opposition,
the Rimer fish commission
bill passed the senate jester-
day afternoon with 16 favor-
able votes. The measure pro-
poses to take from the gover-
nor the power of appointing
the members of the state
fish commission and lodge
that power with the stale e
board of control.
The vote was four short of
the number necessary to car-
ry the measure over the gov-
ernor's veto. The governor
will veto the bill as soon as
It passes the house. The
vote on the measure was:
Ayes Hanks, Hutler, Cars-
ner, Clark, Corbett, David,
liennis, Dunn, Hall, Klepper,
Magladry, Miller, Kitner, tita-
Dies, Cpton and Aloser.
Noes Heals, llrown, Eddy,

ator Dinnls' resolution pro
posing constitutional amend
ment to inhibit the enact
ment of Income .taxes and

fested In the senate yester- e)
day. Dennis changed hla
vote to "Mo" presumably to
move later for reconsidera-
tion of the measure.
