THIRD
STREET THE
WHITE WAY"
Claremore has always been known
as the most progressive little city of
its size in the state of Oklahoma.
When a thing had to be done for the
betterment of the town the business
men have never failed to come to the
front and we do not think that they
will do so in this ease. Each and ev-
ery citizen of Claremore realizes that
we need all of the publicity possible
in order to make Claremore the health
resort from which we all expect to
realize returns on past investments
for the public good.
Some years ago a publicity man by
the name of Pat Lavey came to Clare-
more and among the many good things
that he did while here is the arch
lights which hang over Third street,
as he was responsible for their in-
stallation, as he started the movement.
The lights have been worth the
amount invested in them many times
to the city of Claremore in the re-
spect that they have given to the city
much good advertising. They can be
seen very plainly from either depot
and strangers passing through on
either of the railroads are favorably
impressed with our city as it cannot
be doubted that the lights show Third
street off to a good advantage, but
that is not enough. Those lights
were installed several years ago and
as Claremore is a progressive town
and continually on the onward march
several of the business men of the
town think that it is time Third street
be turned into a White Way. At the
present time the city light and wacer
fund has some three thousand dollars
in it. A part of this fund could be
used in the installation of the lights
while the balance of the amount could
be raised by assessing the property
owners and by public subscription. In
conversation with John Chalfant,
Tuesday, Mr. Chalfant said that if he
could get the citizens to pay for the
material he could arrange for the in-
stallation of the lights. He has plans
and specifications, and estimates as

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 13. 1914
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. THE GREAT
MAN
Thursday marked the one hundredth
and fifth anniversary of the birth of
one of the greatest men that the
world has ever known and ever will
know, Abraham Lincoln, who stood
at the helm of the nation during one
of the bloodiest wars in history and
directed the destinies of the Union,
with a calmness and justness that was
nigh unto divine.
He was^the son of Thomas Lincoln,
a farmer, and was born on his father's
farm, near Hodgenville, Hardin coun-
ty, Kentucky, on February 12, in the
year 1809. His father was not able
to send him to college and he spent
the greater part of his early life
working as a farm hand and wood
chopper. In 1842 he married Mary
Todd, to which union four sons were
born. At the time of his election to
the Presidency of the United States,
through tireless efforts, he had become
a successful lawyer at Springfield, 111.
He was inaugurated in 1861 in his
fifty-second year and was in offce four
years, one month and eleven Jays,
when he was assassinated at Ford's
Theatre, Washington, D. C., on the
evening of April 14, 1865, at the be-
ginning of his second term, by a pistol
shot fired by John Wilkes Booth. It
was during his administration that
the Great Civil Wai took place, the
bloodiest of all wars known to his-
tory. He was a republican in poli-
tics and was a Presbyterian in re-
ligion. He was buried at Caic Hidge
Cemetery, Springfield, III. He was
succeeded to the office of president
of the United States by Andrew
Jackson.
When we look at the Stars and
Stripes we should think of Abraham
Lincoln who kept the flag flying
through four weary and trying years,
the most trying that the United States
has ever known, who believed firmly in
the theory, "United We Stand, Divided
We Fall," and gave his life to enforce
the courage of his convictions. With
the name of Abraham Lincoln we re-
call the pictures of him that we are
all familiar with of the long gaunt
form vibrating with activity, upon
whose shoulders the troubles of a na-
tion were heaped. The man who with
no fault finding assumed the burden
of trouble and made for himself a
name that will be blazoned forth as
long as hitory is preserved and read.
Find us the man today who could
fill Abraham Lincoln's shoes. Alas!
the request is a vain one, for with
his passing out the nation lost one of
the greatest men of all time, of any
nation, of any country or any land.
