Through the thoughtful courtesy of H. W.
Steelm'an, of 107 Lozier Lane, Medford, we have
been provided with a clipping of "Abraham Lin
coln, An Appreciation," written by Mr. Steel
man's father, the late J. W. Steelman, who at that
time (early in World War I) was a resident of
Galls Creek, and a veteran of the 110th Ohio In
fantry in the Civil War.
Inasmuch as today is Lincoln's birthday, we
present the elder Mr. Steelman's account, as
published in a Medford newspaper (apparently
not the Mail Tribune) in 1915. The "Apprecia
tion" follows. -'
"IXORDS are signs of ideas; therefore, we must
understand the words', in order to arrive
at the true ideas contained in the words used.
One hundred and six years ago Abraham
Lincoln was bom in Kentucky. In commemora
tion of the life he lived, and the services he
rendered his country, the whole nation, on Feb
ruary 12th, paid a fitting tribute to the Martyred
President.
I was in Washington the day of his death. I
shall never forget the clear notes of the bugle
blast, that sounded "lights out" when the Patriot
was left "where the dead reign alone." There
was a solemn stillness in the air, and, out upon
the heights, the clouds bended low and wept icy
tears. Lights out" is the closing epitome of all
that tread the earth. I cannot tell what was in the
mind of the author of "Lights Out," when he set
it to martial music, but in it there is more, to me,
than its title indicates.
TIHEN will the deeds of Washington die? How
T can time efface the record of that valor
which gave, and preserved us a nation? Will the
thunders of the Declaration of Independence
cease amid the roll of ages, and while the earth
stands, will freedmen forget Freedom's Procla
mation? No friend of Lincoln need, with pen or
speech, paint an ideal man and call it Lincoln.
His name and fame will stand the test of search-1
ing scrutiny in the light of truth. He has written
his History in deeds which will live so long as
pens are dipped in ink, so long as men read, and
so long as History is written. The history is worth
something: it is valuable, it is not a history of
glittering generalities, but is a history of great
deeds, ana great wings accompusnea ior mis
countiy. Small wonder is it that among those
numberless thousands who, in that great time of
trouble, gazed upon the tall, gaunt form of Abra
ham Lincoln, and heard his clear, sad voice, were
some who almost imagined they saw the form
and heard the voice of one of the great prophets
and leaders of Israel.
But not one soul of the Grand Army that f ol
lowed him with love, dreamed for a moment that
all too soon the light of those brave and kindly
eyes was fated to go out in darkness, that sad

upon the altar of his country.

LINCOLN was born poor, and died poor. He
well knew the grinding of poverty. He had to
make his own way in the world and earn his own
bread. He was not much versed in the learning of
schools, but learned readily with his eyes and
ears, and few men in the country today know
how to use the English language more correctly
or effectively. Had he been bom rich, had he
been trained in the universities, he could never
have been Lincoln. Not down from the heights,
but up through tribulations, toil, and suffering,
come the leaders of a free people, the founders,
the guardians, the saviours of free institutions.
Wealth is a good thing we all want it. Edu
cation is better all should have it. But wealth
and education in these days have their dangers.
The gilded youths who dawdle out their little
lives in clubs and streets of the city, either die
unknown and unseen, or are rudely jostled when
they come in contact with the actualities of life.
Let them take thought lest they be handi
capped by what ought to help. Only hard work of
hand and head will make a Lincoln. Unless a
halt is soon called in wasteful extravagance, in
servile imitation of foreign customs, in selfish
living, the time will soon come when it will be
easier for a camel to go through the eye of a
needle, than for a rich man to find a seat in the
high places of popular confidence and truth.
I INCOLN is dead. Yes, dead. Has this man
utterly passed away? Stands he no longer a
tower of strength for refuge and defense? Not
so ; it cannot be. The call shall not sound "lights
out" His light is not out; though invisible to us,
it still shines.
Friends, this noble man's work needs no
monument, no written scroll in order that it may
be perpetuated. It is higher than the dome of St
Peter; loftier than St. Paul's; it rears itself above
the Pyramids ; it soars beyond the highest moun
tain tops; and it is written in letters of the sun
beam across the blue arch that forever looks
down upon the busy tribes of men.

JACK AND THE PACK
Washington It is now Jack
against the pack. This is an
inelegant but exact way to
describe the
race for the
Demo cratic
Pre sidential
nomina t i o n
some five
months before
th e sho v
down national
convention.
Sen. John F,
Ken nedy of
Massachusetts is moving very
fast in the largest field of
truly major aspirants - four
- that has been seen in dec
ades. The consensus of most
detached political observers
here a year ago was that he
would make a spectacular run
- but would come in second.
Now a consensus just about as
large puts Kennedy down not
only as the man to beat - but
the man who is not now too
likely to be beaten at all,
Some veteran watchers of
the scene believe, actually,
that it is already too late to
head him off. Others, while
less certain, will accept the
same notion without hedging
if Kennedy wins the' Wiscon-
sin Presidential preference
primary of April 5. His only
challenger there for the nomi
nation is Sen. Hubert H.
Humphrey of Minnesota. ,
Kennedy, at any rate, has a
confidence just short of abso
lute conviction that he will
win a popular majority in
Wisconsin and some thing
more than half of the delegate
strength.
This is the meaning of the
cold comments he has been
issuing to the effect that a
defeat ip Wisconsin might
finish him off altogether. No
politician would make such a
rather desperate and obvious
ly dangerous concession un
less he felt a total assurance
that he wasn't going to lose.
rrHE WHOLE Kennedy pol
icy for months has built
up Wisconsin as an arena of
decision and crisis. It has
been a policy of deliberate
dramatization, of squeezing
out the last possible drop of
suspense. It has been good
theater.
'First, and for a long span,
the Kennedy people encour
a g e d feverish speculation
about the Senator's intentions
as to Wisconsin. Would he
go in? Wouldn't he go in?
The candidate's brother, Rob
ert, contributed his lines to
the play by publicly suggest
ing it would be too risky for
Jack, to "go into Senator
Humphrey's back yard."
Then, at last, it was made
known that Jack would take
the great plunge. Like an
aerialist on a high wire he
stood poised, the daring young
man on the flying trapeze.
Daring, indeed, has been
the word for the whole Ken
nedy operation. He began
running for President at least
two years ago, thus breaking
one of the oldest and most
respected rules of the game.
The theory has always been
that any open and early can
didacy was perilous in the ex
treme, for once a man got his
head up too high it would be
too easy to hit by all of his
rivals.
Kennedy, however,, knew
from the start that for him
considering his youth (42) and
the tradition against a Catho
lic President-it had to be all
or nothing. He figured he had
nothing to lose and every
thing to gain by reaching out
frankly for the nomination.
Coolly and from the very out
set that is the way he has
played it.
NOW HE SAYS openly that
his main ' "advprsarv" f
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of
Texas. Johnson, the Senate
Democratic leader, is oper
ating in exactly the reverse i
way. He is trying to let the i
nomination come to him, mak
ing no public appeals for sup
port. Actually, however, young
Kennedy has at least a second
formidable "adversary." This
is Sen. Stuart Symington of
Missouri, who is following the
Johnson technique. Kennedy's
third opponent, Sen. Humph
rey, is quite as much in the
open as is Kennedy. But
Humphrey started a bit later,
And his campaign has been
handicapped by what is, rela
tive to Kennedy's, a marked
shortage of money.
So the heart of the matter
comes down to this: there
must be a successful "stop
Kennedy" movement some
where soon, like that Humph-
rey is hoping for in Wisconsin,
or Kennedy is going to be
hardly stoppable at all by
convention time in July.

Sense About Tonsil Torture

In the Days News
By FRANK JENKINS
This week is the golden an
niversary of the Boy Scouts
of America. In Britain, the
Boy Scout organization is two
years older. The Boy Scout
movement was started by Sir
Robert Stephenson Smyth,'
Baden-Powell, who command
ed British troops in the South
African war - so successfully
that he was made a major
general. He was later elevated
to the British 'peerage, with
the title of baron.
In 1908, he organized the
Boy Scouts in England. The
idea caught on in America,
and two years later the Boy
Scouts of America was found
ed in the District of Columbia.
This original organization in
cluded traditions pioneered
by Daniel Boone and the
great naturalist Ernest
Thompson Seton.
Today the membership of
the Boy Scouts - of America
exceeds five million.
IJOY SCOUTING is more
than a youth movement.
During its half century of ex
istence in America, it has
commanded the interest of
countless thousands of mature
men who have seen in it an
ideal instrument for citizen
ship training.
I recall one such-Robert A.
Booth, one of the founders of
the Booth -Kelly Lumber
Company in Eugene. Mr.
Booth, starting as the leader
of a Scout troop, rose in the
organization to the post of
chairman of the Lane County
Boy Scout Court of Honor.
rj ONE of the years in which
he held this post, the annu
al Court of Honor session was
scheduled for a week in
which Mr. Booth, a prominent
Oregon lumberman, was at
tending an important meeting
in Chicago.
: That was back in the days
before jet planes. Mr. Booth
unhesitatingly left the meet
ing, took a train to Oregon,
officiated at the Court of Hon
or session, and then took the
train back to Chicago to re
sume his meeting.
E DID SO because he felt
the work of the - Boy
Scouts to be just that import
ant. . Tens of thousands of
mature men, all over Amer
ica, have felt that way about
the Boy Scouts.
I think it should be added
here that , the Boy Scout or
ganization has justified that
faith.

agers exercising his adenoids

In the time
it takes my

hear enough

cillating, side-burned music
manglers to last me a life
time. I mean I think there ought
to be a law against anyone
under 21 carrying a guitar
without a license.
This is why I find it a little
difficult to work up much
sympathy for the disc jockeys
who were hauled on the car
pet this week in the House
payola investigation.
Pure Tonsil Torture
From my view, the inquiry
could be subtitled "The List
ener's Revenge."
Although I never heard any
of these particular record
spinners, I blame dee-jays as
a breed for the recent epide
mic of musical miscarriages,
Let me hasten to explain
that my acquaintence with
the latter form of tonsil tor
ture came about through acci
dent rather than design. I was
introduced through a peculi
arity of my car radio.
While driving to and from
work, I travel one stretch of
road where the radio will
only bring in one station. This
makes me a captive audience
of what I judge is one of the
nation's principal outlets for
unrequited puppy love. It also
makes driving unduly hazar
dous.
Bound To Happen
I estimate that I have had
about a dozen near-misses
while leaning across the steer
ing wheel to silence some
pimply-faced adolescent who
is mooning off-key over the
current queen of the pony-tails.
One day L am bound to
have a collision in my hurry
to turn the knob. When they
pick me up off the blood
splattered highway, I imagine
my radio, which has survived
worse things than auto
crashes, still will be lining out
some hymn to high school.
Either that, or it will be
booming "The Death and
Transfiguration C h a - C h a-
Cha" as played by a trio com
posed of two steel guitars and
a riveting machine.
I suppose it is normal for
kids to feel a pain in the
heart between the popcorn
and the kisses at a drive-in
movie. But I know of nothing
in the Federal Communica
tions Act that requires a radio

These expressions of opin
ion and preference are re
markable, considering the
low pressure nature of Sy

paign. The legislators are so
phisticated polticians. Many
of them are likely to be mem
bers of the California conven
tion delegation.
Kennedy in Shadow
Symington, Stevenson and
Kennedy took the honors in
this significant California
poll. Symington and Steven
son, however, far outshone
Kennedy. Kennedy expressed
the opinion this week that his
principal adversary was John
son, the Texan who is strug
gling for geographical iden
tity as a southwesterner.
Some others believe that
Kennedy's principal adver
sary is no single individual
but lies among a combina
tion of men, interests and cir
cumstances which could delay
the nomination of a Demo
cratic candidate for several
ballots. It is the Washington
consensus that Kennedy must
win on an early ballot if he
is to win at all.
To whom, then, would the
convention turn? Symington,
probably. Stevenson almost
surely if he would make an
effort in his own behalf. Ste

lo the land we live in, a
beautiful land rich in the
resources which bounteous
nature has - provided, and
full of sunshine and the
laughter of happy people."
U Nu, a man who describes
himself as a dreamer, anxious
to spend his time in study,
play - writing
and religious
devotions, ut

above quote
M
on jan.
But he could
just as well

this week.
Phil Newsom It W a S on
Jan. 4, 1948, that Burma
achieved its independence,
with the scholarly and deeply
religious U Nu as its first pre
mier. s . -
This week, after a year and
a half ot military ruie, ae
mocracy returned to Burma,
and with it once more came
U Nu as premier.
U Nu has held the job for
most of the time Burma has
been independent. He stepped
out voluntarily in 1956 to
1 spend a year attempting to
I inject new life into nis ami-
Fascist People s Freedom
League.
Taking his place then was
Defense Minister U Ba Swe,
who in this year's election was
his chief opponent.
In September, 1958, U Nu'i
government gave way to mili
tary rule under commander-
in-chief of the armed forces,
Gen. Ne Win.
The latter move was inter
preted as one to prevent the
shaky government from drift
ing into Communist hands.
Time' has wrought changes
both in U Nu's philosolphy
and in the conduct of the
Burmese government.
Remains Neutral
From the army, he takes
over a government virtually
free of Communist influence,
The election was described
as a model of democracy,
under the watchful eyes of
Ne Win's army which con
ducted itself with rigid im
partiality.
As for U Nu himself, his
views no longer are quite the
same as those of the man
who took over in 1948. Then
his dream was to see Burma
a socialist state. Now he be
lieves in partnership with in
dustry.
Politically, Burma is neu
tral but has been leaning
farther and farther away
from Communist-bloc ties.

Wants New Factory
To the Editor: I am writing
about the letter which was
written a week ago concern
ing a new factory which is
needed in Medford to make
work for the unemployed.
I believe the person who
wrote this letter was right. It
would be a good investment
if someone would build a fac
tory here. I realize there
would be many new problems
in doing this, but most new
businesses do have many
problems.
This factory would bring
steady year around work for
the people of the valley,
where most jobs . here are
just seasonal. It would also
bring more money into the
valley for circulation. But
most of all, it would create
