On this day the people of Americf are delighted to honor the memory o: * great man ? Abraham Lincoln. Feb *nary 12th, being the anniversary o: the birth of the Great Emancipator, if m sacred day in the country whicl Lincoln served with such signa Aonors. His devotion to his countrj kas been an inspiration to millions and his service to his nation firmlj lishc>i human freedom not onlj ?n America, but throughout thi world. N conies ? literary buzzard, i tarn by the name of Edgar Le< Mas'-.evs, and makes effort to destroj ii* memory of Abe Lincoln by pictur mg the great statesman as beinj aothing at all like history paints him **A weakling," "an awkward socia ?dim bo i'," "with little ability," an< s'milar ,,-rms are used by Masters ii inscribing the great Lincoln. Edgar Lee Masters is a name tha *eart tiil with gratitude for th .Tr.any blessings enjoyed in this coir anorjity, is to take a trip through th divjjiij'.-stricken regions of the ns tio:>. A ride through the beautifi Sh" doah Valley discloses huma fuff'.iing as we have never known i here. Great farms arnf fields an pastures, once green with the proc jets which brought great wealth, ar literally burned to dust with th ?? And this Shenandoa' '"alley section is not suffering a much the area stretching wesl *sr?i. across Tennessee, Kentuck: tnd into Kansas.

Officials of the State Federation o Labor in meeting at Greensboro Sun day take issue with Governor Gard ner's plan of salary reduction for al .-state officials and state employes. Wi relieve the Federation officials ar ru'ht. There may be some instance; wherein the state employe or officia is receiving a salary out of propor ion to the worth of the man or wo aan, but we believe such instance: *re rare. The point raised by Feder ation officials is that of the state' txair.pie. It is contended that privat /mployers will follow suit, if th stare makes salary reduction its wa; ?f reducing expenses. It would be better by far if thi ?state would reduce its working force: by several thousand, and require eacl tniploye or official to do a full man': work. Whatever waste there is in op eration of the state's business lie) much more in the multiplicity of em ployes, than in the amount of salaries paid. To lay off all those who ar? oat really serving the state and sav< the entire amount of these salariei would effect a greater saving than f reduction in salaries would- bring ?bout. There are many bureau and com mission members, drawing state sal ary, who.se services could most eas ily h?> dispensed with, to say nothing of the army of clerics whose . services are not really needed at alL A large per centage of the state's payroll could be chopped entirely off, thus ef fecting a real saving.

Special Attention to Work for Ladies and Children ABRAHAM LINCOLN - BORN February 12, 1809. Fifty-one years later he was elected President of the United States. On January 1, 1863, he issued his famous proclamation freeing all slaves, including those in States then fighting for the right to secede. Slavery still exists in America today ? not the kind of slavery common before the Civil War, but the slav ery of the family wash, dirty dishes, cooking, house cleaning. It is a form of human slavery for which there is no excuse because there now exists an army of me chanical slaves ? kilowatts of electrical energy ? ready and willing to do the work in the home for an insig nificant wage. Let these tireless slaves do the hard, manual labor in your home, just as they are doing in industry and in almost every other line of human endeavor.
