THE COUNTY COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor STUDY SAGE WORDS OF ARBAHAM LINCOLN As the birthday anniversary of Abraham Lincoln draws near, let the suggestion be made that some portion of the twelfth of February be devoted to reading some of the sagacious words of this great American. His immortal Gettysburg speech; his first and second inaugural addresses; his debates with Stephen A. Douglas, before he came into the presidency—these carry treasures of wisdom and sagacity which it were well for this generation to learn and to heed. In any public library may be found the speeches and state papers of Abraham Lincoln. Books of biography and Mr. Lincoln's collected addresses may be had of dealers. These should be read in every American hbme. It were well if every home library had a life of the great Emancipator, and a collection of his speeches and messages. There is nothing better to place in the hands of American boys. There is no better stimulus to worthy ambition in a poor boy than the life story of the humble railsplitter, farm hand and store clerk, who rose to the greatest office in the land in the supreme crisis of this Nation's history. CRISIS IN EUROPE NEAR WAR, IT SEEMS It seems that an untoward Fate is dragging Europe toward open warfare. Every circumstance and every international development over there seems to forbode armed hostilities. There is precious little concord over there—everything seems to be running to discords. Every movement that seemingly would make for peace is thwarted. Every point of harmony seems to grow more acute. Europe's daily talk and thought is of war. Which is ominous indeed. There is this thread of hope, however. Solering second thoughts may incline responsible leaders over there to throw their influence in the scales of government. PLANS FOR CAMPAIGN OF 1924 FORMING Strenuous activities of the 1924 presidential campaign are foreshadowed by the preliminary work in both the Republican and the Democratic national organizations. Leaders are being assigned. Study of issues and shaping alignments thereon proceed. In fact, all the features which usually forerun a great national political campaign are in evidence. One thing is prominent in politics now—politicians and party wiseacres cannot program the people, nor can they forecast with assurance what the people are going to do on election day. The wave of political independence which set in years ago among proportions, and it rolls right on proportions and it rolls right on American voters has assumed tidal from year to year, swelling as it goes. The people persist in thinking for themselves and in shaping their own political judgments. Consequently, the party organizations realize that they must put forward their very best in platforms and principles and that party records must be such as to stand the acid test. For the people are keenly intelligent and they do not make a fetish of parties. The tremendous swings from one party to another in recent years, evidence this independent unprogrammed method of voting. Americans are wasteful. This Nation is so stupendous rich that its people are spoiled with wealth. They do not have to save, like the inhabitants of poorer countries have to do. Hence the reign of prodigality in this country. It must be admitted that there is a great deal of wholesome economizing and sound managing and conserving, in this country. But not nearly so much as there might be. Europe once more is echoing to the tread of "the man on horseback." Statesmen, over there, are not rising to the glorious opportunity that lies. Lafe Bud had hung in th' Little Gem he stopped t' gilt right after attending night. An autoist longer when a For him than any peddler. WISE AND Nature and creat vacuum. Needs revival, the Jesters.

Every circumstance and every international development over there seems to forbode armed hostilities. There is precious little concord over there—everything seems to be running to discords. Every movement that seemingly would make for peace is thwarted. Every point of harmony seems to grow more acute. Europe's daily talk and thought is of war. Which is ominous indeed. There is this thread of hope, however. Sobering second thoughts may incline responsible leaders over there to throw their influence in the scales of peace. The war spirit, however, is gripping restless people over there. It may not be possible to hold them back. Certainly Europe is in sore need of great leadership. A near miracle may ensue and may bring the right kind of leaders to the fore. Something must intervene, else Europe again will be plunged into bloody chaos. The world may go speeding on now, without suspense, since Charlie Chapin and Pola Negri have confirmed what has been surmised for many weeks. Thrift is the art of accepting the cigarette offered instead of smoking your own. Europe once more is echoing to the tread of "the man on horseback." Statesmen, over there, are not rising to the glorious opportunity that lies before them to bring peace and security to those war-worn lands. Another great war would be a high crime against God and man—a crime that high heaven might punish by the utter destruction of all that has been gained in the long struggles toward high civilization. It is to be hoped that the Pacific West may have a visit, the coming summer, from President and Mrs. Harding. They have planned this journey more than once, since they have been in the White House but have been deterred, for one reason or another. The chief magistrate and his estimable wife would be greeted warmly in California and other states of the Pacific West.

McKenzie Local Representative TOWN IN REVIEW He Told You So Clara Phillips is in Mexico. Sheriff Traeger of L.A. said all the time she would go to Mexico. Hope the spring poets saw their shadows and go back for six weeks. This city should be constantly and judiciously advertised to the world. A thief's shortcomings cannot be corrected by a long prison term. Crafty old fellow named Muggs Said. "Autosuggestion is bugs; There's nothing in it. You bet I'm again it. I've made a big fortune in drugs." Never throw away an old saxophone. It will make an excellent ear trumpet. "Seventy-five per cent of the movies," says one Valentino, a movie star, "are a brazen insult to human intelligence." Possibly Mr. Valentino has forgotten, for the moment, that the movie business is conducted for profit. "Does marriage give a man the right to keep his wife in chains?" Asks an adv. Well, that's one way to keep her from skidding. Not Yet Tom—Harry ate something with chicken in it that poisoned him! Dick—Croquette "Not yet—but goah, he's sick!" Sheriff.

Do you ever stop to inquire if your mental bolt is slipping? Some women have a small vocabulary but their turnover is immense. Health and happiness are a good pulling and traveling team. People fortunately are better than many of the books they read. The use of indeterminate sentences by too many writers is to be deplored. People who say what they think do not always think pleasantly. There is not so much difference between being on the brink or on the blink. The real-test of a book is, do you want to read it again. A new star has been discovered. This one is not a movie—it is in the heavens. When discontented think of the other fellow's troubles. People often will give three cheers for something they will not give anything else for. We have a sneaking intuition that Jack Frost is a side klecker for the Old Man with the scythe. Did you ever hear a guy say he was crazy about a girl and after you saw the girl you decided that he was right? Did you ever stop to think? Well, don't do it. You might not get the machinery started again. Rule of politeness—if in an elevator with several good-looking women it is perfectly proper to remove your hat.

Keep in Touch With this Man By the underlying purpose of the Taxpayer is, let it be stated here, plainly, so all may see. My primary purpose, through The Taxpayer, is to tell myself to the public at a profit. Back of everything you read in The Taxpayer there lies a personal motive. The motive for personal profit. How? In this way, without fear or favor I believe enough people will like it to pay me well for it. That's my idea of running a paper. The idea of running a paper. The general idea. The universal idea. The idea which has made Hearst a great power in publishing and which crowned Lord Northcliffe as the peer of them al., was to give the people what they want. My purpose is precisely the opposite. Give the people what they ought to have, whether they went it or not.—Bettsville (O.) Taxpayer. San Diego woman wants divorce because her hubby threw oatmeal at her. She's lucky she didn't serve tripe for breakfast. Tom Sims Says: The real reason we don't want another war is so few people enjoyed our last one. An actress is suing for divorce and custody of the reputation. A limited vocabulary isn't a great handleup if it includes the two words, "Thank you." The only man who thinks a dun an insult is the one who would dodge payment if he knew how. "Let the devil take the hindmost" is an ancient saying. So the blooc system probably isn't new. Much of the crime in any community may be charged to some lawyer who nearly always gets an acquittal. The only thing to be said for ultra-fashionable skirts is that they lighten the burden of the street cleaning department. Peace is a little more respectable than war. No nation now claims a monopoly of God's interest and good will. Correct this sentence: "You look tired," said the husband; "go and read the evening paper while I do the dishes." It must be remembered, however, that the hateful capitalistic country is the one where the anti-fat nostrums are marketed. America might be more keenly interested in Europe's affairs if she could learn to pronounce the places where the rows start. The difference is that you are a sane man who fight for his convictions, while the other fellow is a fanatic who fights for his prejudices. Correct this sentence: "Willie," said the mother; "this is the fourth time I have told you, and you know Mamma never speaks to you but once." Jackie Coogan's parents give him $6 a week out of his $1,500,000 yearly salary. They must be raising him to be a husband. Indicted profiteers probably wonder at times if they were mistaken about the "dough" sound in Daugherty.
