The Many -Sided Lincoln
BBAHAM LINCOLN whose birthday in commemorated to
day, waa a many-sided and in some way a complex
character. So much o that the student of his life might take
isolated facta and statementa divorced from the context, to shp
port almost any thesis, political, theological or moral,
Because Lincoln wag the first Republican president, the
inspiration if not th- actual founder of that party, he has been
appropriated by that party, just as Jefferson and Jackson have
been appropriated by the Democratic party, and tonight in Med
ford, Portland and throughout the land, Lincoln Day banquets
are being held just as a few weeks ago Jackson Day banquets
were being held, in both cases the occasion for considerable
partisan hand-clapping, back-slapping, and self-ndulation,
pointing with pride to the principles and achievements of one
party, viewing with alarm, the dangers and menace of the
opposition.
All of which is to be expected, and adds more or less to the
flavor of the Human Comedy. The members of the Republican
party certainly have reason to be proud of their first president
(in the opinion of the present writer, the greatest American who
ever lived), and the members of the Democratic party have
equal reason to be proud of their two outstanding president!?,
so it is perfectly proper and nutural, the birthdays of their great
leaders, should be the occasion of enthusiastic party celebra
tions, of a somewhat partisan nature.
IT is, however, rather more difficult with Abraham Lincoln, as
above stated, he was such a complex and many-sided charac
ter, there were so many different facets to his nature his
appeal was so far from partisan, so inclusive, it seems somehow
an injustice to try to make him serve only one.
Take the attitude of the Portland Journal, for example. The
Journal resents any effort to "bound Lincoln, by any sectional
or party lines", and maintains he doesn't belong to the Republi
can party or any other party, but to the ages. 'Which is true
enough, but then the Journal proceeds to spoil it all by trying
to appropriate Lincoln on behalf of the DEMOCRATIC party!
We quote: .

ment had long lain dead and disdained. In fact, It I. Lincoln
urm In th. Roosevelt administration that big chiefs In the
Republican party, th. Liberty Leaguer, and the Fat Boys In the
east, are denouncing aa "unconstitutional." ,
Now no doubt there is basis for that deduction, but it is
nevertheless not cricket it 'a hitting below the belt.
If the Journal resents the Republicans appropriating the
Great Emancipator, and claims him for the ages and all man
kind, it should keep hands off as far as the Democrats or if
one must be meticulous, the Roosevelt administration and the
New Dealers, are concerned. Certainly if the party that elected
and supported him uan't claim him, the party that spumed and
fought him to his grave, should not. be allowed to do sol
But the incident .only demonstrates again the universality
of the Lincoln appeal, the many sided features of his character
and life.
TIIKRE is another thing that has always interested us about
Lincoln, his tolerance and moderation. For two terms he
was a war president, in the bitterest internecine struggle, this
country has ever seen (or let. us hope ever will see) j ha was the
ontstsnding champion of the anti-slavery forces when the coun
try was divided into two struggling factions, over an issue the
settlement of which could only be decided by force; and yet
one might say, he never lost his temper, he never lost his sense
of humor, even more remarkable in the darkest, days of the
rebellion he never lost his sense of fair play and justice.
Lincoln started in the middle of the road, he never stepped
out. He was assailed by the extremists on both sides, he never
lost his poise, never abandoned that amazing sense of propor
tion. With every provocation, with the south already in arms,
that first inaugural was throughout a counsel of kindliness,
fairness and conciliation. He had to fight the violent slave
holders one one side, he had no less to contend with the violent
abolitionists on the other. For over two years he was urged to
free the slaves by many of his closest advisers, he only issued
the emancipation proclamation when tha maintenance of the
union, appeared to depend upon it. Had he lived through the
reconstruction period, there is no doubt his wise and concilia
tory policy would have prevented one of the most regrettable
and shameful perio.lt in American history; and it is also certain,
that in the maintenance of that policy he would have had to
suffer the condemnation and bitter attacks of the super-patriots
and professional flag wavers in the north, who wanted to hang
Jeff Davis on a sour apple tree, just as Lloyd George, after tin
world war, wanted to hang the Ksiscr.
Nor was it the tolerance of weakness, but. the tolerance of
strength, the vision to see human problems and values in their
true light; the courage to stand by those principles which he
knew, had to be upheld, if the best welfare of the people of
this country, all the people, was to be served.
A (iRKAT man, a wonderful man, a many-sided man, a com-

realist; a dreamer on one hand, a man of action on the other;
a wit and a tavern wag; a man of deepest melancholy and sor
rows; a man of kindliness, true brotherhood and peace; yet

with malice toward none, charity for all, who could plead for
forgiveness and understanding even for his foes, and also a
president who could say: "Yet if liod wills it the war) to con

ENORMOUS DOSES OF VITAMIN D FOR CHRONIC ARTHRITIS
Th high concantratioiii of vitamin
D vhloh la now uaed with marked
benefit In the treatment of long
standing arthrltla cannot be obtained
In any. food ma
terial, not even
In flan liver oil.
So Invalids who
receive thla treat
ment mint de
pend on one of
tne several syn
thetic prep axa
tlona which the
m a n u t a cturers
supply t h rough
physicians.
The treatment
atarta off with no
lean than 300.000
units of vitamin D dally, and thla
muat be kept up every day for weeks
and months; In some oases the dally
dose must be stepped up to 400.000
or 600,000 units, and sometimes the
bwt reAUlta may require from 600.
000 up to 1,000,000 units daily for
a few days, then continued for weeks
on an average of 300,000 units of D
dally.
Signs of Improvement, such as less
ened pain. Improvement In mobility,
reduction of swelling, general im
provement In health, better circula
tion, may be noted In from a week
to six months. In any case, If the
treatment Is started, the patient
should stick to It and not vry from
the doRAge prescribed by the phy
sician for at least a month. If In
that time no definite Improvement
Is apparent, then It Is up to the phy
sician to Increase the dose of vita
min D. The Increased dally doae
should be continued until improve
ment Is felt, or manifestations of
overdosage appear. What these man
ifestations are la a matter best left
to the Judgment of the physician.
All the technical Information Is avail
able to physicians only.
Victims of chronic arthritis who
have been subject to hay fever, asth
ma, recurring hives, or other allergic
conditions, seem to respond particu
larly well to the treatment.
Patients tolerate the necessarily
enormous dally doses of vitamin D
better If they receive also fair dally
rations of B, O and A, for Instance
In the form of the optimal vitamin
ration I have harped on for the past
year or two.
Unfortunately for many arthrltla
sufferers, the various vitamin D con
centrate which have been available
for this treatment are extremely ex
pensive, the medicine costing from
two to four dollars a day. depending

Processes for production of the syn
thetic vitamin D preparations (vlo
sterols having various trade names)
are patented, and consumers of the
products hare to pay not only a profit
to the producer but also a fixed fe
for license to manufacture, and a
royalty on each Item sold. Hence
the high cost of the half dozen com
mercial preparations of duly certi
fied potency which have been avail
able heretofore. I am glad to note,
however, that a rigorously assayed
and authoritatively certified prepera
tlon to be released this month will
provide a highly potent vitamin D
concentration for this or other pur
poses at less than half the cost of
the preparations referred to.
Once more I caution laymen that
these enormous doses of vitamin D
can be eafely employed only under
the direction and observation of your
physician. And the treatment has
not had a fair trial unless the dosage
has been kept up or Judiciously step
ped up until either definite Improve
ment or toxic symptoms occur,
whether In two weeks or six months.

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
TWO Southern Calif or nlans and
families with whom the writer re
cently talked have Just returned from
trip through California, Arizona and
Northern Mexico In the course of
which they saw a lot of fascinating
country and found a lot of warm and
plasant weather here In midwinter.
They are glad to be back home,
but are still remembering the good
times they had esepecially during a
week spent In fishing In the Gulf of
California.
e4
HPHEY were fishing for totauva big
fellows, weighing from 100 to 300
pounds, and they say that when you
get one of those boys on the end of a
line you know you've got something.
It must have been a typical fishing
spot. At any rate, when they arrived
they were told that If they'd got there
Just a week sooner they'd have hit
grand .fishing, but at that particular
moment It wasn't so hot the to
tauva had moved away from the vi
cinity, or something.
It's always that way when you go
fishing they were biting hard Just
the WEEK BEFORE.
"
THE way they fish for these totauva
Is Interesting.
They go out in a boat (the boat
being manned by Mexicans) and
cruise around until they locate a
school of sardines, which Is done by
watching the murres and the gulls,
which feed on the sardines.
(The totauva, also, feed on the sar
dines. Just about EVERYTHING preys
on the sardines. The sardine seems
to be Just about as bad off down
there as the poor devil of a tax
payer up In this country).
When they see the murres and the
gulls flapping and squalling and div
ing over a particular patch of water,
they know where to go to work.
WHEN a school of sardines is spot
ted, they cruise into It and the
Mexican boatmen toss a stick of dy
namnlte out Into the water. The dy
namite goes off with a beautiful
bang, stunning sardines for yards and
yards around. They then throw In
their baited hooks, and when the to
tauva come up to swallow the stun
ned sardines they get them.
These totauva, you see, are a tot
like greedy people. When they think
they see some easy picking, they go
after It hard and GET HOOKED.
THE totauva is a fine food fish, and
the catch is marketed principally
In Southern California. Iced trucks
transport the fish to market.
The Mexican fishermen earn about
35 pesos a day, when the fishing Is
fairly good. The present value of the
peso Is about 38 cents American, but
a peso down there will buy about as
much as a dollar here.
So these fishermen do pretty well
by themselves.
THE fish are cleaned on the beach
and loaded Into the trurks. After
the day's catch Is cleaned, the offal Is
eaten by the dogs and the Serl In
dians, who come in from the sur
rounding bush.
It takes a keen observer to tell the
Sorl Indians from the dogs.
-
THEY reached the Gulf of Califor
nia by way of Nog ales and Her
mosllla. Between these two points
there Is a good road, which at one
point Is perfectly straight for 48
miles. They had a native son of
Southern California In the party, and
he actually admitted that thla is a
longer tangent than can be found, In
the Oolden State.
Miracles, you see. still occur.
IT WAS a fine trip and they en
joyed It thoroughly, but came
back wholly convinced that the Unit
ed States la a GRAND place to be
living. In spite of all the pessimists
say.
One of the great benefits of travel
Is that It proves to us that our own
country Is a great place; Its people
better off, on the average, than the
people of any other country.
It's a pity more of us can't get
away oftener.
