A Living Inspiration.
The normal American youth will
always find In the life and character
of Abraham Lincoln an appeal to hid
higher senses and better Instincts.
Therefore, wo cannot afford to allow
the Lincoln anniversary to lapso lntoj
one of merely perfunctory obsorv-i
ance. It may, and should, bo put to
the great purpose of emphasizing the
value of right living, for, after all,
that Is what the historical Lincoln
first stands for. Ho continues to
live as a dynamic source of insplra-!
tlon to every well-balanced American
boy and to those with a proper con
ception of his career and character,
with irresistible fascination to point
the way of noblo service In any!
sphere of honorable endeavor. j
The school, tho homo and the press
have a" responsibility, therefore, In
seeing that the forco of Lincoln's ex
amplo Is kept nllve in the minds and
hearts of the young. Hack of all the
glamor surrounding him is the slm
plo setting of a poor American boy
with no other chance of fame and
greatness than that of being honest,
alert, persevering, doing the task la
hand the best he possibly could,
"with malice toward none and char
Ity for all," anxious only for tho
right.
Such a chance lies before every
normal youth, although no other may
be called as this rugged backwoods
lad was to servo in Just this way tho
destiny of mankind. Tha outstand
ing lesson of tho anniversary cele
brated today, then, Is tho "value of
right living. Let it nover bo lost
from the curriculum of American
life.

Abraham Lincoln
Horn Frbrnnrr 12. 1HOD.
From former Ambassador James Brycc's
introduction to tho Dent and Dutton
edition of "Lincoln's Speeches and Let
ters":
What Is a great man? Common
speech, which after all must be our
guide to tho sense of the terms which
the world uses, gives this name to many
sorts ot men. How far greatness lies In
the power and range of the Intellect,
how far In the strength ot tho will, how
far In elevation of view and aim and
purpose, this Is a question too largo to
bo debated here. But of Abraham Lin
coln It may be truly said that In his
greatness all three elements were proa
ent lie had not tho brilliance, cither
In thought or word or act, that dairies.
nor tho restless activity that occasion
ally pushes to tho front even persons
with gifts not of the first order. Ho
was a patient, thoughtful, melancholy
man, whose Intelligence, working some
times slowlr but nlways steadily and
surely, was capacious enough to embrace
and vigorous enough to master the In
comparably difficult facts and problems
he wa.vcallcd to deal with. Ills execu
tive talent showed Itself not In sudden
and startling strokes, but In the calm
serenly with which he formed his Judg
ments and laid his plans. In the undis
mayed firmness with which he ad
hered to them In the face of popular
clamor, of conflicting counsels from
his adviser, sometimes, even, of what
others deemed all but hopeless failure.
These were the qualities needed In one
who had to pilot tho republic through
H10 heaviest storm that had ever broken
upon It. But tho mainspring of his
power, and the tnlest evidence of his
greatness, lay in tho nobility of
alms, in the fervor of his conviction. In
tnc stainless rectitude which guided Ills
notion and won for him the confidence
of the people Without thesn thini-.
neither tho vigor of his Intellect nor tho
firmness of his will would have availed.
rnero is a vulgar saying hat all great
men aro unscrupulous. Of him It may
rather be said that the note of greatness
wo icci m ins thinking and his speech
and his conduct had Its source In tho
loftiness and purity of his character.
Lincoln's Is one of the careers that
refute this Imputation on human nature.

AMES, la.. Feb. ll.-To the Editor of
The Bee: A bill has been Introduced by
Senator Kenyon of the United Statos
senate at the request of the Iowa Swine
Breeders' association. The swine breed
ers went on record as favoring federal
and stale testing of all hog cholera sc
rum and virus manufactured and sold by
commercial serum plants. This bill If
passed will insure tho desired federal
testing and Inspection of scrum and vi
rus made and sold by scrum plants doing
an lntcrstato business. It Is estimated
that about 50 per cent of the commercial
serum used in Iowa would come under
this ruling.
In my Judgment thcro is no more Im
portant measuro from a farmer's stand
paint up for the consideration of tho sec
ond cession of the sixty-third congress.
It such a bill had been Introduced and
becomo a law a year ago t believe it
would nave taved the fa-mcr of Iowa
from Ji;,X,000 to $20,000,000 by tho rcdue-
tlon of hog cholera losses during tho
year 1913. It would havo helped In the
following ways:
First It would have standardized ec-
rum and virus, something which Is abso
lutely necessary at this time. Just so
long as thcro Is such a wide variation in
tho potency of serum and virus as has
prevailed during tho lastUwo years there
will be a lack of confidence on the part
of a great many farmers concerning: tho
efficiency of the serum treatment of hogs
against cholera.
Second: It would havo made It possible
for tho farmers to have distinguished be
tween real serum and the many fakes or
so-called scrums and hog cholera cures
that have been so generally peddled from
farm to farm by agents, mony of whom
wero carrying tho disease from Infected
herds to healthy herds.
Third: It would havo prevented many
of tho outbreaks ot hog cholera caused
by the uso of a poor grade of serum with
good virus whero the simultaneous treat
ment was used.
Fourth: Tho fact that the aerum and
virus would have been tested by govern
ment employes would have Insured Its
usefulness and greatly enlarged "the de
mand for tho same, thus materially cur
tailing tho ravages of tho disease.
I assure you that anything that you
may be ablo to do In bringing the merits
o'f this bill to the attention of your read
ers and aiding in tho passage, ot this
measure will bo appreciated by tho farm
vs of Iowa and adjoining states. I am,

WHEN WE CAN BE "IT."
When we can love and not excite sus
picion In those whose hearts are very near our
own; ,
When wo can help one without the addi
tion Subtracting from a friend who stands
alone;
When we can teach the truth without de-
Jectlon
Of some one's hope of platform or ot
creed.
Or kilt a falsehood's force without re
flection Cast with discredit on his mind or deed;
When we can make progression In tho
arts
And sciences, and form a truer path,
And not a target be for error's dorts
Of low-born envy and short-sighted
wrathi
When we can make an economic law
That leaves all Int'rcsts straight with
out a crook,
Or make interpretation without flaw
Of rule already on tho statute book:
When wo can act employers and be Just,
Without competitor to find a fault:
Or act as employes, and keep our trust.
Without a fellow worker In revolt:
When wo can make our thoughts fit
principle, (
And mako our language and our
thoughts both fit
Our nets, then, brothers would-be sensible.
We can have chance of being known
as "It."
