LINCOLN'S PARTING LETTER
WAS TINE TRIBUTE
ALTHOUGH not as well-known as the Gettys
burgs address, we think the following more
fitting for the day and the times:
Lincoln's Farewell to the Citizens of S »*ingfield,
* Illinois, on his day of departure for Wash
ington:
My Friends:
No one. not in my situation can appreciate my
feelings of sadness at this parting. To this place,
the kindness of these people. I owe everything.
Here I have lived a quarter of a century and have
passed from a young man to an old man Here
my children have been born, and one is buried. I
now leave, not knowing when or whether ever I
may return, with a task before me greater than
l.hat which rested upon Washington. Without
the assistance of that Divine Being who ever at
tended Him. I cannot succeed. With that assist
ance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go
with me and remain with you. and bet everywhere
for good, let us confidentially hope that all will
yet be well. To His care commending you. as I
‘’ope in your oravers you will commend me. I bid
?ou an affectionate farewell.
FOURTH TERM MOVEMENT
ADOPTION by the Democratic Territorial Con
vention in Fairbanks recently of a resolution
favoring a fourth term for President Roosevelt is
tn line with the active campaign being waged by
National Democratic leaders close to the Chief
Executive for his renomination.
Four years ago the third term movement was
not so definitely determined as the fourth term
! movement is now.
Then, Chairman Farley of the Democratic
National Committee was known to be unfavorable
io the breaking of the two-term prece
; dent, and many prominent Democrats were in
i zlined to the same opinion.
Now Chairman Hannogan of the Democratic
National Committee, fresh from high federal ser
vice. has sounded the tocsin for the renommation
j r f President Roosevelt. Under direction of the
National Democratic Committee chairman the
Democratic party organization is being aligned for
the Chief Executive's renomination.
Np'prophetic vision is required to see that the
I President will be the Democratic standard bearer
tgain.— 'Fairbanks News-Miner).
7r’"ISHMENT OF WAR PRISONERS
RUELTY unto death inflicted by Japanese on
American prisoners of war as reported in
reren' news dispatches, calls for the punishment
>? the perpetrators of the horrors.
The guilty persons deserve the death sentence.
There is valid objections to blood-letting after

The products of over a dozen
companies have been set up in a
display at the laboratory and are
open to the public for examina
tion.
The work was undertaken part
ly because of the container short
age and partly as a step toward
improving the packaging of Alas

should also be useful in the post
war period when filleting activi
ties are again resumed.
