"If I were King Bavom Anthony, 1 nperial dictator or these United States," the 75-year-o>d supeian nuated circuit-rider of the Metho dist church. South, told a Baptist congregation here. ‘U‘d let every body have all they a anted for a week and then issue a statement that I would do the same thing in ten years. I would be so besieged with petitions that there never would be any more doubt that the prohibition law is a good thing.” Although he expressed belief that talk of "necking, drinking and wom en smoking" is exs "crated, and quoted figures to show that "less than ontenth of one per cent of co-educattonal studTis are disci plined for drinking,” he admitted that the "wets have had the better of us for the past two or three years.” "A lot Is charged to us by the wet press that ought not lo be charged to us,” he said. ■‘The crime wave, for example, is a reaction from the World war. The government shows us by figures on millions of men whose intelligence wa* tested that over 75 per cent of the men in this country are sixteen and less under the hatches. So the gieat bulk of us have to be governed by custom. We just run in ruts. War breaks up all these ruts and the woild has to wear some new ones.” Card of Thanks.

Boatman Springfield, 111.—-A little-known document lies in the files of the :ounty clerk of Sangamon county here. It reads: "Springfield, Wednesday, March 5, 1833. "Ordered that William F. Berry, In the name of Berry and Lincoln, have a license to keep a tavern in New Salem . .... . ” That yellowed piece of paper is one of the few records of an inter esting phase of the career of Abra ham Lincoln, whose 122nd anni versary is being observed with cere monies at many of the Lincoln shrines in this vicinity, including the restored village of New Salem. The document broadens the ca reer of one of America’s foremost presidents to include that of tav ern keeper, for the Lincoln of "Berry and Lincoln" was Honest Abe. And that incident contributed much to the Justification of the title. ' As one of the settlers of the lit tle prairie town of New Salem, Lin coln became associated with Beery in general merchandising. New Sal em failed to prosper, and ho doubt there was talk of the "depression” then as now. So Beery and Lincoln entered up on the keeping of a tavern. They were allowed, under their license, these rates: “Breakfast, dinner or supper, 23 cents; lodging, per night, 12 1-2 cents; horse, per night, 25 cents; single feed, 12 1-2 cents; breakfast, dinner or supper for stage passen- j 3ers ,37 1-2 cents.” Whether or not these prices were too low to permit a profit, it was not long until Lincoln sold his in terest in the enterprise to Beery and when Berry died a short time later, bankrupt, Lincoln assumed and paid their obligations. The tavern-keeping marked al most the end of that trail of hunt and seek for a career that finally ; led him to the White House. Prior to the New Salem experience, Lin coln had been a farm hand, rail splitter, river boatman, grocery clerk and student. When he left the struggling prairie village, he enter ed law and politics, a new career that took him to the highest honors in America. Lincoln’s tavern-Keepmg experi ences have been overshadowed by his great accomplishment in gov ernmental administration. But many of his admirers like to think of the great man in his temporary roles as the Jolly host, greeting his guests at the tavern door, lighting their way to their rooms or guiding them to tables heaped high with the plain fare of the prairie pantry. Among the places that are visited by thousands of persons is the Lin coln and Beery store in New Salem which has been restored to its ap pearance in its noted owner's day. STAR AD VS.
