Opportunity to Help In Saving Lin coln's Birthplace. A college paper has no very broad field in which to work, perhapB, but such a movement as the one described below, it is felt, ought to receive sup port from every quarter. ThOBO read ing Collier's Magazine are familiar with the plan, for It has been exten sively advocated In that publication, as well as in others. Hero is another good opportunity for Nebraska stu dents to get in on a good thing. The Lincoln Farm Association was organised and incorporated under the laws of the State of Now York early in the month of February, 1906, by a group of patriotic citizens, who be lieved that tho people of our country should, thru affiliating with this or ganization, develop the farm in Larue cOunty, Kentucky, on which Abraham Lincoln was "born, into a national park. The ossbclatlOn, prior to Its Incor poration, acquired the title to thiB his toric farm, consisting of one hundred and ten acres. The association hopes to develop tills property Into an at tractive park, embellished by histor ical museumB and properly monu mented, so that It may be complete for dedication on the twelfth day of February, 1909, which will be the centennial of the birth of the great war President. The association has already recovered the cabin in which Lincoln was born. The Lincoln Farm Association be lieve that the work of building this ftirm Into a national memorial should be accomplished by the American peo ple, and by their Individual contribu tions, and not thru any appropriation froni Congress, or thru the subsidy of large private fortunes. It should ex press the democratic sympathy and loyalty of the American people for and to this great President, who has to fittingly been called the "first American." The Lincoln Farm Association is an organization of American citizens to which every one snail be entitled to membership who contributes, thru the gvneral fund for the preservation of ihlB historic spot, any sum not less than twenty-five t cents nor to exceed twenty-,flye dollars. Every such sub scribed shall be recorded in the mem bership card catalogs, which will ulti mately rest In a.place of honor and of NOTED ENGINEER. -( Co'ntlnued from page 1.) ing' profession, whom they wish to have invited, can do so by handing the names t,o the committee in charge or to Professbr Richards. T;he com mlttee consists of Messrs. Schrleber, Cramer, Mickey and Standeven. public access In on of the historic buildings to bo orected on tho farm. Each subscriber shall receive, imme diately upon tho receipt of hl8 dona tion to the work of the association, a handsomely engraved certificate of membership in tho Lincoln Farm 'Asso ciation, bearing on Its face a portrait of Lincoln, a picture df tho cabin in which h6 was born, and of tiro White House at Washington. It will also bear the member's name and tho auto graphs of the- officers and trustees of of the association. Afnorican youths have turned long ing eyes toward the holy places 6f Eu rope, and visited tho birthplaces of Robert Burns and Schiller, tho tombs of Walter Scott and Victor Hugo, and the millennial monument of King Al fred at Winchester; while the birth place of our matchless American the fatrong-handed, clear-headed, and great hearted Lincoln has been left, after Us acres have been impoverished by carelesB tillage, to become a humilia tion to the poet and the historian, and tho butt of ridicule to the- irreverent. Pigs and cattle have reduced tho basin of tho beautiful spring to a mud-pud dle; vandal hands have carried off the humble cabin wherein a giant soul was born, and utter neglect surrounds iho first home of the great American "Man of Sorrows." , Realizing this neglect, and that this farm birthplace was to be treated with still greater Indignity, by the exploita tions of speculators, for vulgar show and unwholesome popularity, tho asso ciation secured the farm under the auc tioneer's hammer, and now holds it In trust for the nation. It Is tho solo purpose of the associa tion to help the American people to their own. The historic ground will be owned and cared for by the Lincoln Farm Association's solf-perpetuatlng committee of patriotic citizens. To them will be entrusted the expenditure of the subsidy which tho members of tho Lincoln Farm Association shall raise. Tho officers of tho Lincoln Farm As sociation are as follows: Joseph W. Folk, Governor of Mis souri, president; Joseph H. Choate, Ex-Ambassador to England; Henry Watterson, Editor Louisville "Courier Journal"; -Cardinal Gibbons, Arch bishop of Baltimore. Tho office of the association Is at 74 Broadway, Now York. GOPHERS CONSENT. (Continued from page 1.) Oct. 12 Grlnnell at Lincoln. Oct 19 Mltfhesota at Minneapolis. Oct. 26 Colorado at Lincoln.
