The one man all Americans turn
readily to us a pattern of these
same ideals is Abraham Lincoln,
There is no man that Is utoro loved
iiy Ills peopio than Lincoln. In
Lincoln we find that trait so dear
to tho American people, simple un
derstanding of human nature.. Lin
coln proves this to us by his ac
tions during the Civil War. Lin
coln's simplicity not on I touched
one Ideal but ull of them, honestly,
performance of duty, courage und
perseverance are a few of the out
standing features of Lincoln's per
sonality. We- cun see by Lincoln's
example that a few fundamental
features will carry. us u Ion (f, way
in life. Instead of combining muny
tilings to buse our character on, we
should set our mark in tlio same
wuy ns did Lincoln; by doing this
we will serve our great country to
a greater advantage.

bears to talk about water powom
and various other things which are
competing with coal, . but-no ono
needs to fear an ulttmule overpro
duction of anything which hupp1Ih
(power or heat. . Temporarily there
may be a surplus of these things
but, over any considerable period,
an increase in lite demand for pow
er and heat is Inevitable. Coal has
alwuya been the great fuclor in the
production of power, and, so far as
we cun now see, "will bo for many
years to come. Most ull heat is
generuted from coal.. Kven If gas
becomes u great factor In cooking
and heating this Is still a bullish
point on coal, because the gua is
made from coal.
"Hltuminous coal consumption
should really be the best barom
eter of general manufacturing busi
ness. Nearly all our factories ure
run directly by coal, while most
of those which are operated are

Is bank clearings, or check trans
