A Lincoln Journey Such is the veneration in which the memory of Abraham Lincoln is held that an editor does not want to let February 12th pans without some reference to him who held this nation together in the time of it greatest crisis. On this, the anni versary of his birth in a poor log cabin Kentucky, many ora tion, -many editorials will be spoken or written, rich in tribute to the Great Emancipator. Reference too may be made to the fact that this year the Lincoln papers which were left by his son. Robert T. Lincoln, with the Library of Congress under seal of secrecy for a term of years, will be open for publica tion. Few believe, however that they contain anything start lingly new respecting the life or public career of President Lincoln. For our contribution to the recognition of Lincoln's birth day we hall quote from Carl Sandburg's "Abraham Lincoln: The Piaine Years." This with the companion The War Years" is not ony a full biography of Lincoln, with an abundance of detail, but it is rich with the poetic sentiment which marks Sandburg style. Relating the story of Lincoln's last days in Springfield before he left for Washington, never to return alive, S&ncburg tells this: One morning in January, Lincoln, with carpetbag in hand, Mai j.u.ii;ng for Coles county, and met Whitney on a street in Spi rna-fieid. He asked Witney to ride the train a few stations. -I want t talk to you." Whitney was company. . . . M, Mtney got off the train at his station, Lincoln rode on to M..ti.rt. missed connections with a passenger train, and took the estate of a freight train to Charleston. The engine stopped a' fix sti.ion for ureter, and Lincoln, with a shawl over his shouWlr, and his bo-Hs in slush, mud, and ice. picked his way in the ifatt evenm dink .alongside the length of freight train to the stitlon. where a buggy was ready. Friends met him and tuok hiin to the house, where he was to stay overnight; the next morning he would out to say goodbye and have his last hour with his Mepmother, Sally Bush Lincoln. ... The rtxt day Lincoln drove eight miles out to the old farm along the r;ad over which he had hauled wood with an ox-team. He imr to the old I house he had cut logs for and helped smooth the chinks, from its little square windows he had seen lale winttT and early birds. Swily Bush and he put their arms around each other and listetiecl to each other's heartbeats. . . . Each looked into eyes thiuat ba k into dee sockets. She wu all of a mother to him. He was tit:' boy more than any born to her. . . . He stroked her fic a last tune, kied goodby. and went away. She kr.ejW his heart would go roaming back often, that even when he ude in m ojeu carriage in New York or Washington with milkers, flags and cheering thousands along the streets, he niipht Mu-t as like he thinking of her in the old log farmhouse out n C le county, Illinois. WltAt j.ves in the hearts of Americans is the deep humane nets of Lincoln! In his hour of fame and political fortune he could take t;me in midwinter to visit his aged stepmother, ride in a freight caboose, wade through the slush the length of the train aii ride out in the deep midwinter mud or over th froen. rutted road to an old log house and pay his respects to her who had taught and guided him in boyhood after his own mother died. Sculptors have chiseled in finest marble or moulded in erdiiiM. bronze the figure and the seamed face of Lincoln. Pliotoe.ini.hers caught his likeness with their then new art. Paintei. have put his homely features on canvas. But the peo ple have created in their own hearts their image of Lincoln a man who rose from humble origins to a place of power, whose common upeech wvs of earth, earthy, but whose formal utter ance reached the sublime; and above all a man of deep tender ness, who freed a pig from the mire, who defended a bene factor's en in court, who journeyed to say goodbye to his step mother before takiag up his duties as president. DTP 0S3TJOB (Continued from Page 1) GRIN AND BEAR IT By Lichly satellite, Japan, In the Pacific. And what turned the western world against Hitler was not mere ly his assumption of the role of dictator but his brutal racism, bis silly glorification of th "pure Aryan" with its grotesque com promises, his violation of elemen tal freedoms. It was American armies, racing into Germany which rescued the piUful remnant of Jews suffering from Hitler's sad ism. The spilled blood of thou sands of Anricans is proof that w were not indifferent to the horrors of Dachau and Buchen wald. In the early years of Hitler's rule in Germany the American press printed stories and pictures about th suffering of th Jews at th hands of the brownshirt mobs of the storm troopers. It told of th orders barring them from professions and public serv ice, of their loss of property and of civil rights, and of th brutali ties inflicted on their persons. These reports amply verified brought a revulsion in feeling in this country against Hitler which held fast against the blandish ments of his agents and th cor rosive propaganda of our own vicious anti-Semitic element. Th stories of wholesale slaugh ter cam at first fitfully through the black screen of war; and when finally the truth was told, with the huge weight of evidence in photographs and narratives and documents to attest it. the crime was of such magnitude that it could scarcely be talked about. That men would become beasts on so vast a scale, that men and women for th accident of birth and religion would be thrust alive into furnaces or suffocated with poisonous gases were things too horrible to discuss If the good rabbi interpreted the silence for indifference he was mistaken. It was the silence of pain, of an guish over so colossal a crime. j Yes. we Americans are guilty of our own sins of discrimination j and of racism. We have a sense of j shame over Ku Klux attitudes which manifest themselves on oc casion. But this awareness and the positive efforts being exerted trt averr-ome these outburst of prejudice are themselves hopeful j signs. Perhaps the expressions of regret over the hotel bombing in Jerusalem are indications not merely of revolt at the outrage but of concern lest It damage the cause of the Jews The opening of Palestine will at best offer a haven for only a por tion of th Jews of the world. It is not a solution of the "Jewish problem" so-called Jews and Gentiles, whites and blacks and yellows, rich and poor still have to learn to live together in the j condemnation powen of state hihwi kmtkarknA i.

Flax and Lime Income Down Sale value of the state flax and lime industries for the 1947-49 biennium is estimated at $930,000, as against $1,128,500 for the cur rent biennium. th legislative joint ways and means committee was advised by plant officials Tuesday.

Fund Sought for Surplus Goods Th legislative joint ways and means committee Tuesday con sidered a bill by Sen. Lee Pat terson creating a revolving fund of $103,000 for administrative costs in state purchases of sur plus war commodities. Senator Patterson said that be cause of a shortage of funds the state of Oregon had purchased only $1,000,000 of surplus pro ducts to Washington's $8,000,000.

Senate Action Capitol Survey Plan Rejected Th senate's resolution to ask th board of control to study pro posed remodeling of the state cap itol was stymied Tuesday when the house state and federal affairs committee voted to table it on the grounds the board of control already has authority to make the study. Chest Elects New Directors Directors of Salem community chest, elected Tuesday at the an nual board meeting held in con junction With th Kiwanis club luncheon, are Tinkham Gilbert, the Rev. Chester Hamblin, Carl Hogg, Mrs. Carl Nelson, Chandler Brown, Clair Brown, Henry Kropp and Charles A. Sprague. Dr. George W. Peavy, president of the Oregon chest, spoke on need for a broadened outlook in the chest organization to provide "a cushion for the years when It will be difficult to raise the quota." Loyal Warner, president of the Salem chest, outlined history of the chest since its organization in 1937 with a quota of $40,000, through wartime peak collection in 1943 of $118,187 to 1946 when it raised $86,634.95. every worthwhile religion victory over nazism is itself an assurance that men are not in different to crimes against hu manity and evidence that in the supreme test of our time the philolosphy of superior- nferior race and blood was crushed by the truer gospel of the worth and dig nity of man as man.

A Tt.U Tl, J Unliable Peace One by one representatives treatiei" ceremony was in Pari, though representatives of sorne of the ; lCt8 l.ritlC18IIl vi Jtor powers previoualy had signed, no laniare attended tne sinin For victors as for defeated it was a sober occasion. M t sobering of all was the realization that the peac itself was none too stable, depending for its continuance on the accord of the powers which dictated it. For Itfaiv it was an event of humiliation, and was signalized by riot and demoruit rat ions in Rome against the allied powers who had of-s-ented to tearing colonies from Italy and put Trieste under mtti national authority. From Pola in the enclave a steady stream ef Italians poured back into Italy to escape the new JuricJK-tion. Citetdy Yugoslavia finally signed, not without submitting a note expressing dissatisfaction that its territorial demands were not tfaken into consideration despite its accessions around Ti H-s-te. The archives of Europe thus will soon receiv new formal documents, treaties terminating another of the recurring Wars which have visited Europe in th past two thousand years. The legacies of hate remain: and still there may be hope that the wheel of fortune will turn and "wrongs" be redressed in some future appeal to arms or clever realignment of the balance of power But perhaps even the defeated may conclude that they hive had enough of warfare and put their faith in readjust ments through peaceful negotiations. All that is clear is that the peace concluded by th?s? five treaties is still far from stable. The Camp White hospital would provide a good physical plant for a mental hospital, and would solve the problem of overcrowding at the S-alem institution. Getting a staff would not be ea-y and the matter of operating costs would need to be studK-d It would have to be operated as a branch of the Salem mtditution probably, pending approval by the people of a constitutional amendment permitting its establishment as a separate institution The project merits careful investigation.

Something pnce4eis would be lost if any other .course were taken the something that sets th Round -Up apart from other shows and that manes it murt than a big wildwest event. MtMh of this is that people of Umatilla county and Pendleton stage this show thecnavelves. taking pride in its annual reenactment of the earlier days, of its presentation of authentic pioneer life and sports, and of its effort to keep alive the western spirit. Part of this also hinges eroufve Happy Canyon, a magnificent dramatic pre sentation, th historic Westward Ho! parade, and the Over the Hill pageant. All these things go to make up th Round-Up, which is not just a rodeo. Actually Ose show is so different from many of th other rodeoo ever the narioM that it has at times been likened to Oben ammergau. Many ether similar shows seek to follow a like pattern, and they, to, are taking the same action, and with the approval of th InteiTiMMial Rode- sssActstion. A determined effort is being made to preserve this sport of the west in all its competitive glory, and at the same time ave each community supporting such a show a chance keep ahve its individual spirit. Thsjs Thursday's announcement is of especial significance; and the eotme of actsua adopted is certain to meet with widespread western approval.
