Abraham Lincoln.
One hundred and twelve years ago today a
ion was born to Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lin
coln, under circumstances as discouraging, per
haps, as ever surrounded a babe in its cradle.
Mary had a manger in which to lay her blessed
babe, but Nancy had only the rude pallet on the
floor in a cabin that was open to the weather.
As from that manger grew up a man whose
precept and example were to influence the world
through all time, so from that pallet arose a man
of mighty weight among his people, who also by
precept and example turned the course of his
tory into a new and straighter channel, and left
an imperishable impress on the world.
It is well for Americans to honor Abraham
Lincoln by observing his birthday, and to keep
forever fresh his memory by adhering to the
principles that governed him. Whether he real
ized the destiny that awaited him, whether he
dreamed of the greatness that was to be his, he
laid a foundation for it in the development of
those, essentials of character that sustained him
when he was put to the ultimate test Examina
tion of the familiar story of his life, and it mat
ters not by whom the record is made up, or
what critical mind, friendly or otherwise, im
partial or biased, has failed to disclose any trait
of meanness, of littleness or weakness of moral
fiber in this man of the people. He was human,
with human sympathies, warm and impulsive;
abstemious and industrious, because not satisfied
with the surroundings in which he was reared
and ambitious to get out of them. Eager, once
he had begun to rise, to go forward, but only
by such ways as an honest man could pursue.
His debate with Douglas, it is said, cost him a
seat in the United States senate, but it made
him president of the United States at a time
when humanity needed him in that great place.
Whether it be his last work for "Tom" Lin
coln, that of splitting rails to fence the claim
so soon to be abandoned by the shiftless father,
or his great second inaugural address, practically
the last of his high public achievements, Abra
ham Lincoln did his tasks with a thoroughness
and a finish that left them complete. The anti
thesis of all our other presidents in birth and
breedinsr. he is generally regarded as the great
est of Americans, for he literally sprang from
the soil of the young republic and left it what
the founders proclaimed, a free land.
J' Like George Washington and others of our
great men, Abraham Lincoln is not an exclusive
possession of Americans, who can proudly share
him with the world. He blessed a country which

inspiration as noble as the heritage he left is rich.
Another Picture of New York.
One day last week The Bee published an ar
ticle, depicting scenes that may be encountered
in certain parts of New York, an outline of the
night life of Gotham that exceeds in sensuality
anything of modern times, and is comparable
only to Babylon under Belshazzar, or Rome
under Caligula. This tale is supported by other
authorities, but the conclusion it would seem to
warrant should not become fixed without con
sideration of some further testimony.
A writer in the New York Times presents
another and more encouraging view of night life
in the metropolis. Here it is shown that thou
sands of jthe young men, whose modest means
preclude participation in the bacchanalian
revelries, and wiose purses are too limited to
allow them to indulge in the occasional simpler
social pleasures, such as taking a girl to a show,
or attending a bridge party, have turned for
recreation to night school. Instead of frittering
away their evenings in pursuit of an evanescent
pleasure, they are taking courses in accountancy,
in business management, and in other branches
of modern education that will in time fit them for
higher positions ' and greater reward. Seven
thousand of these are in attendance at the classes
of New York university, and other thousands
are securing instruction elsewhere.
This is encouraging. While the picture of the
revelry is attractive .in its repulsiveness, the
thought is ever present that only a few can
indulge in such dissipation, no matter how many
can be so inclined. Set against this the thou
sands who are seeking to improve their condition
in life by study, and the antidote for the garish
and vulgar vice of the city is apparent New
York is not hopeless yet, even in Tammany's
grip.
Living Longer Now.
Bernard Shaw dreams of a race that by taking
thought can add a thousand years to the age
of it members. It is a matter of common knowl
edge that the average life has been lengthened
by the protection of science. But while the ex
pectation of life among; men and women has in
creased, there is na indication of any definite
lengthening cf the iau ef life, Thai is to My.
while fewer persons art dying ItUn their time,
the limiting age o( human lite data pot it i
have beta f stciided.
Centenarian are ihown by the census to be
only sightly more numerous in 9J0 than in 1910,

predominated in ch of the age periods above 75.
The improvement it shown in the proportion
of persons at and above the age ot 25. This
has increased from centui to census since 1880,
Especially encouraging and noteworthy ii the
larger ratio of persons reaching 45 years and
more. Comparisons with other nations, such as
England, Holland and (he Scandinavian coun
tries, however, shows that there it still much
room for improvement In America. Of the prin
cipal states only France, India and Japan have
rates of mortality lest favorable than ours.
When it is taken into consideration that with
us the rural population lives longer than that in
the cities, a warning or at !eat a suggestion
may be found. A good many city folk are living
up their lives too fast. We need to get closer
to nature, to go more into the open and to calm
our frayed nerves.
Combat Against Crime.
Criminologists generally agree that the prev
alence of crime in the United States is an in
cident accompanying the general disturbance of
sociat conditions following the war. Our ex
perience is common with that of all other civil
ized countries, where the same loosening and
demoralizing influences have had a similar ef
fect Exasperated citizens are proposing various
methods for combatting the criminals, these ex
pressions generally taking the form of prescrib
ing more severe penalties for breach of the law
or public peace, especially for those offenses
that are directed against, person or property,
which are the most common just now.
Coddling of criminals is not warranted at
any time, nor is it to be countenanced under ex
isting conditions. The severity of the law, how
ever, is not, nor ever was, the basis of respect
for the law. Exact and certain enforcement of
the law will carry with it the dread that is sought
by those who suggest extreme measures, and
may reasonably be expected to set up respect
for the law where it does not now exist This
involves in a large sense improvement in the
machinery by which the law is enforced. Amer
ican practice has expanded to such an extent
along humane lines, presumably, and with only
good motives in view, to a point where through
the various ways in which defenders are skilled,
an offender may confidently hope to postpone
for a considerable time the infliction of the pen
alty, even when his guilt is well established. In
this the public is at a disadvantage. Courts and
prosecutors ought to discover and apply the
remedy, and so renew in the minds of the people
a confidence that is now lacking.
The laxity of public morals, so frequently
complained of, is more apparent than real. The
moral nature of the American people is not less
sturdy now .than at any time, and may be de
pended upon in any emergency. When indus
try has revived to a point where employment is
offered to the industrious, when enforced want
ceases to be an incentive to petty crime, the bal
ance will be restored between the forces of the
right and those of the wrong. The need is not
for nore stringent laws, but for a more certain
enforcement of laws that exist.
An Early American Realist.
All the copies in the public library of Ed
ward Eggleston's "The Hoosier Schoolmaster"
are out It took only a brief mention in the
newspapers of the death of the original of the
character of Bud Means to stimulate interest in
this fine American novel.
Though Bud was the bully of Flat Creek, the
son of a sordid and ignorant home, no disgrace
attaches to having supplied the idea to the
author. For Bud came out a splendid man, a
disciple of the "Church of Best Licks" and sheriff
of Hoopole county. Not, however, without having
caused much trouble for Ralph Hartsook, the
youthful teacher. That came about because Bud
mistakenly thought that Ralph was in love with
Martha, the squire's daughter, when as a matter
of fact he was really enamoured of Hannah, the
bound girl who served the Means' household.
Some will remember how Bud and the other
big boys barricaded the schoolhouse and how
they were outwitted when Ralph climbed to the
roof and poured burning sulphur down the chim
ney. Few will have forgotten the thrilling trial
scene which closes the story.. The pictures of
backwoods life in' Indiana,; the tar and feather
episode and the abuses in the poor house were
painted as ickens might have done, and yet
without any semblance of caricature.
Eggleston was a realist. Of old Methodist
stock and himself a circuit riding preacher, he
had been brought up to regard novels as works
of the devil. When the impulse to write came
upon him, he did not make the mistake of turn
ing out a wild west novel, though the material
was plentiful, but set to giving a plain account
of the life of plain men and women on the fron
tier of 18S0 or thereabouts. He is the literary
ancestor of E. W. Howe, Hamlin Garland, Willa
Cather and even of Theodore Dreiser and Edgar
Lee Masters. This note of fidelity to fact has
made at least two of his books classics and sets
today a mark at which younger authors might
well aim.
Over in France they have chosen the most
beautiful typist, and now she has nothing to
worry .about but keeping her job. In America
the only contest is over who can write the most
words per minute, but the French are not the
only ones for an eye for beauty, notwithstanding.

ethical tradition, 1 the adoption, at
its recent convention at Kugene, of
a code or behavior and motive by
I he Oregon Fdltoriul assochtlnn.
Thl code, formally approved by this
representative association of Oregon
editors, enjoins upon all the mem
bers of the press In thut slate care,
competency and thoroughness In the
presentation ot all matter "so that
our writing may be more authentic
and of greater perspective and more
conducive to the social good." Th
member pledge themstlve to th
protection, in the column of their
papers, of the right of Individuals,
regiirdles of the enect of the pro,
tevtion of thla right on "good ainr
ies" or on editorial policies. The
code adopted at Kugene goes on to
promulgate thl opinion and policy;
No man who la not In ethical
advance of the average of hi
community should be in the pro
fession of journalism. Wa will
keep our writings and our pub
lications free from unreflncment,
except so far as we may sincerely
believe publication of sordid de
tails to be for the social good.
Interpreting this to mean that
while editors individually do not as
sume that they are any better than
other citizens, they are bound by
their opportunity as publicists to
adopt an ethical standard which is
better than themselves, and that
even news stories are to be fublished
upon conscience and with a high
motive, we may welcome and ap
plaud the adoption of this Oregon
code as a most promising develop
ment, and incidentally may rejoice
that the seed sown hy our fathers
has fallen upon fertile ground.

"Break Them in"
Cantilever Shots are comfortable,
easy, the first time you put Uictn
on! No need to "break them in"
slowly and painfully. No need t
suffer till the newnt-ss wears oft.
Id Cantilevers your foot Is not com
pelled to assume th shape of a
shoe. For the Cantilever Shoe is
shaped like the human foot It is
built on the lines of good taste
graceful, sensible. It is mad for
perfect comfort
The foot has freedom to arch and
bend, to move and exercise, unham
pered. The shank of a Cantilever
Is not stiff and unyielding. It flexes
with the action ot the foot
The natural Inner sole line and
the well-set heel combine to encour
age correct posture. Ordinary shoes,
which twist the toes outward, cause
all the weight to fall on the inner
side of the arch, its weakest point
Hut Cantilevers distribute the weight
properly; they correct and prevent
flat foot They enable you to walk
or stand with less fatigue. And they
are good looking.
