LINCOLN A TYPE
Capable of being respected, if not loved, by his enemies,
^ was an attribute of Abraham Lincoln.
Just as the people of a nation admired the sterling
qualities of Robert E. Lee, of Jackson, Jefferson, Wash
ington and McKinley, so does a nation pause on its
speedy way on February 12, in memory of the 16th Presi
dent of the United States of America.
In this land of sophistication in a time when children
seem to know so much and learn so young, the whole
world has.an asset in the memory of the stalwart rail
splitter, Lincoln, who was the personification of honest
intentions. In history the world has found need of out
standing characteristics, represented in the lives of men
and wTomen typical of ideals. In literature and drama it
has needed a Shakespeare; in ancient philosophy an Aris
totle; in essay a John Stuart Mill; in deep introspection
an Emerson; in law a Blackstone; in poetry a Longfellow;
in invention an Edison; in daring achievement a Lind
bergh. One may insert the names of others, according to
his washes and tastes. In religion it has been a Moses, a
Mohammed or a Jesus Christ, depending, of course, upon
the point of view7.
If Lincoln does not represent a type to be studied, to
be loved, or to bea emulated, then there isn’t much hope for
some of us to be able to leave more than our graves be
hind.
Bernard Shaw called the turn yesterday in exposing
the ‘‘peace bluff.” There is too much money to be made
from war to abolish it.
“This life will be the end of me,’’ observed Hickman
yesterday w7hen the jury brought in his death warrant.
Well if they sell the “Panhandle” Seward wants the
world to know we are out for the Capitol. Won’t Valdez
get sore when they hear about this?

ANGHORIIGE GIRLS TIKE !
SECOND CAME OE SERIES
The Anchorage High School basket
ball team tobk the second game of
the local series by the score of 11
to 7. The Inlet girls made the first
basket after a scoreless interval and
continued to set a pace which the
Seward aggregation could do nothing
with. Anchorage was in the lead at
nil stages of the game.
Close guarding kept Seward from
scoring; many short shots were at
tempted but they fell by the way
side. On the other hand the Anchor
age girls had the locals eating out
of their hands with their array of
acurate long shots ns well as shorter
ones..
Helen Welsh, star forward for the
Inlet team, was taken out upon her
fourth personel foul. May Teeland re
placed her. However the onslaught
continued and when the smoke of
battle cleared away, the score was
seen to be 11 to 7.
Tonight the deciding and final
game will be played off. Each team
has won one. A battle royal is profi
led.
