LINCOLN NEVER UNDERSTOOD HIS WIFE EUROPE HAS A "HOOVER- f ; 1 I 0 :V t ClJl V..' IT .SN St : '-.Ni.-A tVA'fRfi? HANLSY 4i Atru.AOKAHAH "When 1 was asked to play the rOla ot Mrs. Lincoln in John Drink water's 'Abraham Lincoln' It was with fear tbat I approached the rdle," says Winifred Hanley, who is now appearing in that part at the Cort Thea tre, New York city. "I realised that the American people worshipped Lincoln and that they did cot care for Mrs., Lincoln, A careful study of her life and character has convinced me, however, that she was a much misunderstood woman. In my Interpretation of her I am trying to give to the public the real Mary Todd Lincoln, the woman who was not only the wife of a great man, but who In many Instances was the guiding power behind the life of the man himself." It Is as no dictatorial virago that Miss Hanley has con ceived Mrs. Lincoln. Rather has she pictured her as a pathetic, even, tragic, figure a woman who passionately loved her husband with a love which was never returned, aud who ended her days midst the mazes of an insanity wlhc haw brought on by the strain in which her life was spent SMALL WILL INTRODUCE fl SUBSTITUTE MEASURE Much Potest Aroused Cut in Bi vers and bors Bill.

Their deeper meaning can neither be fully expressed or narrowly defiiied. Their meaning var ies with the times and the circumstances. Such a word is honor. Another is patriotism. And the one that we would especially consider today is democracy. We do not know what previously undiscovered meaning demo cracy may have five years hence. Two years ago, it meant "force to the utmost." Today, if we mistake not, democracy means Work and Thrift. Unlike its relation to many peoples, democracy is an actual condition to Americans. It is a possession; not an ideal which we must shed blood to secure. Democracy is a fact in Amer ica and facts fix stern laws! Do we desire that wages remain high? Then let us maintain production upon an equivalent ratio. Do we wish to enjoy the greater benefit of high wages? Then let us be thrifty. Democracy is superior to the diction ary, we said. Let us add this: no man is superior to democracy! Central Bank & Trust Co. South Pack Square PIEDMONT COLLEGE BUILDING BURNED DEMOREST, Ga Jan. 21.
