From the loj; eahin to the While House the career of Lincoln is
a story of stepping on mid smashing difficulties us lie fought his
way to firmer ami higher positions of which real manhood stir-
' eessful. coiiipiering manhood is made that he was aide to make
every opportunity serve him.
While Ahrahain Lincoln stands out as one of the "lall. sun-
crowned" figures of all time and few may hope to reach the heights
' which he attained the history of America is filled with the annals
of men horn like him in obscurity and poverty and rising in like
mamier to high places in public life in business and in all lines of
human endeavor. These men .like Lincoln won their way by mak-
ing use of their own powers and taking advantage of the opportuni-
ties whicJi America gave them.
With id! tlk1 changes that have come to puss sime Lincoln's day
America is still America the same America in which Lincoln lived
iiinler the same constitution that gave Lit In his opportunities;
the America in which the achievements of the individuals are lim-
ited only by his own determination and ability to make use of his
opportunities. The road to success to weallli. to usefulness and
to honors is open now just as it was in Lincoln's day ; the door of op-
portunity is closed to nobody except the man who is too lazy to open
it. In the face of the career of Lincoln and all who like him hew
risen from the lowest to the highest rung the talk of fixed classes
in America is as meaningless as monkey chatter. Fortunate are we
lo live in the land in which Lincoln lived and in which democracy!
in the largest sense reigns and will continue to reign as long as tliei

hold fast to the faith of Abraham Lincoln the American faith.
How Far From Savagery?
Pome writer tells us about a certain tribe of savages to whom
kind-hearted missionaries presented blankets to keep them warm.
The next time the missio: arics came back they found that the na-
tives had traded their blankets for ribbons and feathers with which
lo bedeck their bodies. The deduction made from this incident was
that the desire for ornament precedes the demand for dress among
primitive peoples. In other words the savage mind sets a higher
value on luxuries like beads and ribbons than he does upon those
things which a more advanced type of mind terms necessities.
Carrying' this logic a little further we may. conclude thai the
stage of 'mental development of a people may he judged by their
sense of values and the same thing is true of individuals. The
higher the mental evolution the greater the ability to discriminate
between things that are essential to human well-being and those come
in the category of luxury playthings let iis say that minister
only to the gratification of the primitive childish instincts for (lis-
play. The savage prefers a string of colored beads to a warm suit
of clothes for the same reason that a small boy would rather have
a strawberry sundae than a suare meal; in both cases it is due to
the absence of a proper sense of values.
The beginning of this heavy "train of thought" on which we are
traveling was sonic statistics which we happened' to see. Dr. 1 . 1 .
f'laxton. 1' S. commissioner of education reported that the total
sum paid out in teachers' salaries' in the nation last year was
approximately $700000001) i.r about half the amount that is spent
annually for cigarettes in this country. The bureau of internal rev-
enue reported that .t'lOO.OOOHK) was spent last year for "beaut if i-
ers candy and foibles".
lir the light of these figures and with sense-of-values as the
criterion may it. not be well for us Ihe "heirs of all the ages in
the foreniost files of time" proud of our civilization to ask ''our-
selves whether we have really traveled as far forward on the rotid
from Havagerv as we fancy wc have gone? Measured by Ihe way
we spend our money it appears that we think about as much about
gratifying -our appetite lor tobacco as we do about providing capa
ble men and Women to train the minds of our children and that we
set nearly as' high a value of ' beaut if iers candy and foibles" as
ive do upon instruction for the young.
AVhen we hear complaint about the awful burden placed upon
the tax-payers to keep up the schools and when we consider the
vflst sums spent for things tliut are trifles in comparison . with edu-
cation we cannot help thinking of the savages and the blankets. Are
we still using the savages' standard in measuring values or arc we
using the yardstick of a civilised man '
. ... . ; o
Isn't it about time to begin to hear from certain political tpiar-
tsers that Chickasha ought to have a non-part u an mayor and that
any good mim will do just as long as he is a Republican? That's
the "dope" in Democratic towns and especially so since the 0.
0. P. has grown ehcaty over its clean-up in last fall and is har
boring high hopes of repeating the trick two years hence.
