v Speaking on the "Americanism of
Abraham L.incolrtv" Colonel James J.
Orowsley said:. - '..--. - '
"Abraham Lincoln was the personifi
cation of genuine Americanism. He. like
Jackson, that trreat and illustrious Dem
ocrat, believed in the maintenance of
political parties that had Americanism
as; the basis of their existence. Com
munism, Socialism and Bolshevism had
no part in any of his beliefs
"These isms." he continued, "have
been brought to this country by the
riff-raff of Central and . Southern Eu
rope, by those who do not, and never
can know the meaning of real Ameri
canism. The Republican party stands
on; the belief that these peoples should
be eliminated from, our nation and their
further admission barred."

man of the Multnomah county central

States will hold Japan strictly ac
countable for the attack made upon
five American uailora during which
one was shot In Vladivostok on Tues
day February 8, it was stated by
officials here today.
Demands for all the facts In this most
serious case were made by both the
state and navy departments. Secretary
Colby instructed the - American consul
at "Vladivostok to forward an immediate
report. - ' .
Secretary - Daniels cabled slmiliar in
structions to Rear Admiral Joseph
Strauss,' in command of - the Asiatic

ors attacked and cable them to Wash

Resentment was expressed at both
the : state and f navy departments over
this repetition of hostilities against
American forces in Vladivostok. Japa
nese sources credit the attack to two
former Russian officers, who have been
recognized and apprehended, according

LINCOLN'S GREAT
CHARACTER TOLD :
OF BY M'ELVEEN
Members of Lincoln Memorial So
ciety .Attend Program at Cen
tral Library for American.
earnestly a and j fervently to do
honor to the memory of Abraham
Lincoln, about 40 members of the
Lincoln. Memorial society met Sat
urday afternoon in Central library at
their annual meeting. L. D. Mahone,
secretary of the cociety, presided.
Dr. C, E. Cline pronounced the invo
cation ; J. S. Hamilton of the Veterans'
quartet sang "Old Black Joe, and Dr.
W. T. McElveen of the First' Congre
gational church spoke of the character
and personality of Lincoln. Lincoln did
not spring from "poor white" stock, but
from a group' of small landowners who
did not own slaves, said Dr. McElveen.
He was Indebted to his mother, a ma
donna of the wilderness, rather than to
his father, who was shiftless, luckless
and ne'er-do-well. ..
"Lincoln was not an educated man
in the sense that he was graduated
from a college," said Dr. McElveen.
"Yet he possessed the, three' great es
sentials of an educated man sympathy
for all classes and conditions of men ;
honesty in dealing with all men, and
courage to execute all of his convictions.
Lincoln was an apt student in the school
of life. He learned from everybody. He
was a student of but few books the
Blbte, Pilgrim's Progress,' 'Aesop's
Fables," Weem's Life of Washington,
and a history of the colonies. Lincoln
read less and thought more than per
haps any man of his generation.
"Lincoln has not yet been adequately
interpreted There are depths to his na
ture that have not yet been sounded.
There are qualities to his being that
have not yet been explored. Lowell calls
him The first typical American' ; Stan
ton, who severely criticised him, while
he lived, cried out as he watched him
die. There lies the greatest ruler of
men that the world has ever . known.'
Lincoln may not have 'had the capti
vating charm of Hamilton, or the ur
bane dignity of Washington, but he had
a sagacity, a . patience, a magnanimity,
and a tenacity that they did not have."

Permits to Erect
Summer Hotels in
Forest Areas Asked
Impetus toward the building of sum
mer hotels in Northwest national for
ests Is indicated in the number of ap
plications for such permits recently re
ceived by Assistant District Forester
C. J. Buck.
The Young Men's Christian Associa-t
tion of Salem wants to build a perma
nent summer camp on the banks of
Marion lake at the base, of Mount Jef
ferson von the southwest, in the Santiam
national if orest. Marion lake has long
been a popular spot for fishermen and
campers and is reached. y trail , from
Detroit."' The Boy Scouts of Salem want a per
manent camp at Salt creek hot springs,
now known as McCredie hot springs, in
the Cascade national forest, reached from
Eugene. McCredie is already operating
a hotel at this place, under government
license. ' " ;:
A summer hotel may , be built upon
Union creek, on the road from Medf ord
to Crater lake, near Prospect on the
Rogue river gorge, if an application re
ceived by Buck is acted uppn favorably.
In Washington, three sites are desired
for summer hotels. One is on the Sunset
highway out of Seattle, on the Wenat
chee . national forest. Another is at
Ohanapesoch hot springs, just south of
Rainier national park, and. the third is
at Silver creek, on the McClellan Pass
highway on the Rainier forest.
COOLNESS IS INVOKED
BY CABINET LIST
Cnnrintwl From Pne One)
street and the banking community had
come to hope that one of its own group
of financiers would sit in the treasury
department under a Republican admin
istration or that perhaps one of. its
good friends, like George M. Reynolds,
the big Chicago , banker, might be so
honored.
There seems to be no particular Ob
jection to Governor' Lowdcn of Illinois.
On the contrary, he is much admired,
but the people on the inside here in
sist that within the last five days Gov
ernor Lowden's letter declining to enter
the cabinet - at all has. reached . Hard
ing at St. Augustine. Much praise - of
John W. Weeks, former United States
senator from Massachusetts, who is
slated to be secretary of war, is heard,
but there Is no denying that the ap
pointment of Leonard Wood would have
been many times more pleasing.
POLITICIAN HAS ' PLACE
Will 'Hays and Harry M. Daugherty,
who are listed for "postmaster general
and attorney generat, are popular in
political circles, but it is nevertheless
true ' that leading Republicans question
the advisability of putting men of
prominence in political organizations in
the cabinet..; What some of ; these New
Yorkers do not know; is that a poli
tician with his ear to the ground is
sometimes a better judge of , the pub
He pulse than a business man whose
training has been entirely ' inside a
single city ' and in a single business.
New York has been somewhat of a
Hoover stronghold and since the former
food administrator has eome so promi
nently before the public in connection
with the European child relief,, the peo
ple have been constantly reminded of
his executive ability so that it is not
unusual to hear : one man say t. an
other, or one woman' to another, "I won
der why, Mr. Harding doesn't put Hoover
in the cabinet."
Most folks,! however, Tefuse to believe
what they see in the newspapers about
cabinet selections and are serenely con
fident that when the list is finally made
public it will surely contain the names
of Leonard Wood. Ellhu Root and Her
bert, Hoover.

BLACKMAIL LAID
TO WAR CRITICS
Lindsey and Hill Are Charged
With Having Sought Secret
Letter for Scheme.
- , - Halt Stench Bombs, Plea
(By I'nited Nem)
Chicago, Feb. 12. Motion picture
theatre owners have appealed to United
States Attorney Crowe to stop "stench
bombing" of their theatres. They
charge that their refusal to sign con
tracts calling for fixed sums for "elec
trical maintenance" has made their
houses targets for "stench bombs." The
state's attorney is investigating. .
Washington, Feb. 12. (U. P.)
Investigation of two war investiga
tors was asked by Representative
Flood of Virginia today. f
Flood introduced a resolution for an
Inquiry into charges that two men con
nected with the house committee investi
gating war expenditures had attempted
to carry out a blackmail scheme. Flood
is a Democratic member of the com
mittee. Flood stated he had received . infor
mation from the war department that
he two investigators named as.-C- C.
Lindsey and J. M. Hill sought to obtain
a secret letter from the war department
archives for their alleged scheme. The
plan, according to an official statement
inserted In the records of the commit
tee by Flood, was to obtain the latter,
which is said to involve a business man,
and then inform him . that a newspa
per was willing to pay a large amount
for it, if he did not pay them a much
larger sum.
The statement of Flood, inserted In
the committee record, states that Sam
uel T. Ansell, former acting judge ad
vocate general of the army, who acted
as counsel for one of the house inves
tigating subcommittees, sent Hill and
Lindsey to the war department with a
letter asking that they be given the se
cret letter.
Representative Royal Johnson, South
Dakota, said he desired a complete in
vestigation of the charges, but said he'
did not believe Ansell knew anything
about the alleged scheme.
Flood's resolution calls upon the sec
retary of war for a complete statement
as to why two investigators were re
fused the letter. He expects to call it
up in the' house within a few days. Gov
ernment vouchers to pay the two in
vestigators for their services have been
held up, it was learned.
