Lincoln & Obstacles
Things do happen, anil Ihoy hegan as well
to presidents as lo pages. Obsiaeles ami op
poituuitios present themselves. The problem
is to divorce t ho one and wed the oilier. St
much in life is dependent upon just ibis, that
it is deserving of. our attention in reviewing
events that mark the turning point in the life
of a man who came to be loved and honored
second to none of America's citizens. Doubt
less Lincoln would have achieved success, for
ho was made of the stuff whereof men are
made. Hut it is interest ins; lo know that fail
ure in business and the subsequent necessity
for work of some kind, found him welcoming
his first political appointment.
During the brief span of three years of his
life in the village of New Salem, early in his
career, this community had adopted him and
fostered his political ambitions. Though beset
by many difficulties, he had found that the
friendships formed there had endured. His
rugged honesty and sincerity of purpose had
commended him to the judgment of his neigh
bors in this frontier town. And today, though
but a memory, New Salem promises to be a
perpetual memorial to his early struggles.
There he met his first love, Ann Kulledgo, and
there he satisfied his first political ambitions,
lie bore the imprint of both these experiences
throughout his life. Though disappointed in
love he was successful in polities. True in
deed, Lincoln's immortality is rooted to his
failures and successes while a citb.cn of this
phantom town on the banks of the peaceful
fcsingamon River.
Lincoln built success upon failure. The life
of Lincoln contains many lessons for young
men of today, and none is more striking and
more useful than that of persistency in the
face of failure.
Lincoln ran for the State Legislature and
tvas defeated. lie became partner in a dry
goods store that failed and left him to pay the
bills. His personal property was offered for
sale to satisfy a judgment and was bid in by a
friend. He was disappointed in love and later
married against his own better judgment.
"While preparing to enter the Legislature he
was forced to borrow $200.00 to purchase suit
able clothing, and he did not pay this back un
til many years later. ITe was later elected to
Congress and at the expiration of an unevent
ful two-year term he became a candidate for
Commissioner of the fionornl Land Office, but
failed to get the appointment lie was offered
the Covernorship of Oregon Territory and his
wife refused to let him accept. He was a can
didate for the Senate and l"st. for the Repub
lican nomination for Vice President and lost,
find again for the Senate and was defeated by
Douglas. His soul tempered by adversity he
became President of these United States and a
world figure.
It is true that "For the stout of heart suc
cess is often built upon failure."

V-Mail reprints the first two better-known
verses to the famous Army Air Corps song:
Off we go into the wild, blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun,
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At 'em, boys, give 'er the gun.
Down we dive, spouting our flame from
under,
Off with one hellavu roar.
We live in fame, or go down in flame.
Boy; nothing '11 stop the Army Air Corps.
Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high into the blue;
Hands of men blasted the world a sunder,
How they lived, God only knew.
Souls of men, dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings ever to soar.
With scouts galore,
Boy; nothing'll stop the Army Air Corps.
