One hundred and four yfrt agoj
today. Abraham Lincoln *.i? bom.
and it was foiy-eight years ago
next April th.:t he died There is
?ot much new to say of Lincoln,
?very man is his biographer. Lin
coln'^ life is better known than
that of anv other American, not
even excepting Washington
He beit m life as a "cracker," a
term which is Wtter expressed in
the nomei < latur>? of the north as a
"?ourdousn ' He was a "rough
neck' in his day and went into the
woods and split rails. He surveyed
and ran a tountry store Such men
may be found all mer Alaska, and
perhaps some of theni may b>~
mute, inglorious Lincoln* ? horn the'
vicissitude* of fortune have deflect-,
ed from their consistent destination
The circumstances of the times, and
the thrilling happenings of his life,
hare surrounded the memory of
Lincoln with such a halo of rever
ence. tha> it seems almost a sacri
lege to couple his name with any
thing like the mushers of our day,
but the cold fact stands out that
most of the great men of the na
tion have been pioneers. Washing
ton was a pioneer snd so was Grant
They were the sourdoughs of their
times, and events have time and
time again demonstrated that the
sourdough is the salt of the earth.
Twenty-two of the States of the
I'nion have declared Lincoln's birth
day a legal holiday. The federal
government has not yet adopted It
as such, but will in the coming
years We should like to see Al
aska added to the list. Surely
nothing could be more fitting than
that Alaska should set apart a
day for the legal celebration of s
holiday dedicated to Lincoln, the
"Sourdough." When our first leg
islature meets, it will be composed
of pioneers- men like Lincoln in
their physical habits, and let us
hope in their mental attainments
and capacities; let one of their first
l<-gtslative acta be the legallilng of
a holiday to the memory of Lin
coln.

I AM firmly convinced the

thirty-five that it is the

I believe, too, that if a woman
wants to be thirty-five and STICK

a woman can remain tn that won

tirely upon herself.
SHE MUST CONSERVE AND
