There was danger that seven other states would follow, four of which ultimately did. With- Iin six weeks of Lincoln’s inaugura- |tion, the civil war broke out with the capture of Fort Sumpter by the lConl'ederate forces. Self-possessed Man “Throughout the years of that |great crisis, Abraham Lincoln ap- |peared always a self-possessed man, {expressing such clear convictions {and such distinct and firm purposes :as compelled new notions of his ca- pacity. He did not take advantage of the national emergency to set up the foundations of dictatorship for himself. He did not attempt to ustrp the functions of Congress, inor to impair the authority of the Supreme Court. Abraham Lincoln said: ‘My course is as plain as a | turnpike road. It is mnrked out by |the Constitution. I am in no doubt which way to go’ “He never tried to be clever or smart. He was not a showman. He was not ‘Hell Bent for Election.’ If he was hell bent for anything it was to reunite opposing factions, not to sow the seeds of discord and set one class of our citizens against another class. He never lost his |sense of proportion. With him, a promise made was a promise kept; a precedent that ought to be re- jestablished in America today. “Abraham Lincoln was a simple, honest, straight-forward man; a {man of the people; a believer in con- stitutional government of the peo- ple, by the people, and for all the people; a believer in the principles of the Republican Party. “And while we are here paying | tribute to Lincoln’s memory on the joccasion of his birthday, it is fit- |ting and proper on this occasion {that we also rededicate ourselves to carry on the principles of that Grand Old Party whereof Lincoln was the first president and princi- pal expounder.” Mrs. White Urges Loyalty | Mrs. Margaret E.

First National studios saw in her life, gles to improve hospital conditions at home and abroad in the Crimean war zone, the ingredients for a splendid screen drama. { They laid their plans on a lavish scale. | Kay tray Florence Nightingale and Wil- Jlinm Dieterle was selected to di- irect the picture, which bears the | title “The White Angel,’» and which | |comes to the Capitol Theatre Sun- day. | Ian Hunter are cast in and Donald Woods the two leading male romantic roles and several promin- | ent stars of the London stage were brought to Hollywood for the nu- merous character parts. At The Coliseum As modern and up-to-the-minute | as the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper is the Columbia comedy- drama “Trapped by Television” which comes to the Coliseum Thea- tre on Sunday with Lyle Talbot and Mary Astor heading the cast. The story concerns a young in-| ventor and the obstacles he en- counters when he seeks to intro- | duce his brain-child to the public, | only to find opposition in a group | of schemers who seek to rob him of the fruits of his genius. Talbot is seen in the role of the| inventor and Mary Astor appears | as the enterprising business mana- ger who helps him overcome the dif- ficulties and carry on to success. The production is based on an original story by Al Martin and Sherman Lowe, the screen adapta- tion credited to Lee Loeb and Har- old Buchman. Del Lord directed the film. “A Lonely Cowboy Sleeping,” a new song composed by Ken May- nard, king of the cowboys, will be heard for the first time in “Lawless | Riders,” Columbia picture, show- ling tonight only at the Coliseum Theatre. “Lawless Riders” is the story of | | the adventurous men who brought ]Il%txce to the West. The story and screen play were written by Nate |Gatzert under the direction of ! Spencer Gordon Bennet. Members of the cast include Geneva Mitchell, Harry Woods and Wully Wales. {was easy in the face of victory but that it was hard in defeat to sta {loyal and emanate enthusiasm. The Repubncan woman leader declared that now is the time for Republi- cans to show their loyalty to their party and look forward to the fu- ‘lure with hope. | Paying a fitting tribute to Abra- {ham Lincoln, Mrs. Charles Sey |Precinct Commi tteewoman, de- ‘rlared that what America needs to- {day is another Lincoln to establish and maintain the good government {the Republican party stands for. Other speakers on the evening's program were Ed Garnick, Precinct committee man, who welcomed the large audience; Frank Johnson, President of the Alaska Native Bro- therhood, who urged an interest by the people in government that good government might be maintained; Judge H. B. LeFevre, veteran Re- publican, who sounded the danger of an America creeping toward au- tocratic government, and Frank Foster, who declared it the hope that the American people would re- turn to “sanity and horse sense” in government. Mr. Foster declared that President Roosevelt was try- ing to abolish the Supreme Court government was being subordinated to the executive branch.

CANNOT FORCE MARRIAGES BY BACHELOR TAX Artificial ans Also l‘all to Stlmulale Desire ; for “Mating” NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—Attempts some fore governments to zmong their na-| artifiefal means have| ) less successful than early| reports may have indicated, accord-| ing to statisticians of the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance Company. They declare that, despite the imposition of taxes on bachelors, in Italy, and the offer of gifts and loans to newly wedded couples, in Germany, the countries had greater declines in| their marriage rates in 1935 than' any other country except .Bulgaria,| among a group of 30 nations. The atest gains in the marriage rate| were made by Portugal, Australia,| New Zealand and Northern Ireland. The United States showed a s]igm‘] improvement and no change w recorded for the Irish Free State, Poland and Latvia. Rates Show Drop The Bulgs 1 marriage rate for| 1935 showed a drop of 16.1 per; cent, as compared with 1934, the| German rate a decline of 126 per| cent., while the Italian rate fell off| 10.8 per cent. On the other hand,| Portugal, where the greatest im-| provement was recorded, showed n‘ gain of 9.2 per cent, Australia a gain of 9.1 per cent., New Zm\lund.‘ 79 per cent., and Northern Ireland a gain of 7.8 per cent, The gain in the United States was approx-| 1 per cent. Among the| countries which recorded improve- | ment in the marriage rate, in 1935, | were also Japan, Canada, Scot- land, and England and Wales, while| among those showing declines were Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Rou- mania, Hungary, and France. Striking Decreases | It is particularly interesting,” | the statisticians say, “to note the striki decreases which occurred in Germany and Italy, two coun- s which have made decided ef- to raise their marriage rates nd thus stimulate an increase in| population. Germany's de- cided drop in nuptiality to a rate of 9.7 per 1,000 population in 1935, is especially significent, since that country had a gain of 155 per cent.! in marriage in 1934. Marriages had |, then been stimulated in Germany | by certain artificial forees, ‘mar- riage aid loans’ in particular. It now appears that the effect of that measure. :was . to. bring about temporary increase in marriages, o rather than to initiate a continued upward trend in German nuptiality. | Italian Statement { “Similarly, gifts of money from the government, a large tax onjfy. bachelors and other stimuli have ;= ... not enabled Italy to maintain thel) .. yover seen. Mrg Polk substantial increase in weddings | recorded in 1934. In fact, the gains! made in. both 1933 end 1934 were o practically wiped out by the 11 per cent decrease shown during 1935. In that year the Italian mar- riage rate fell to 6.6 per 1,000 and closely approached the lowest pgint ever recorded for Italy, except in that country’s World War period, 1915-1918. “The decline in the marriage rate of France from 7.1 per 1,000 popu- lation in 1934 to 6.8 in 1935 is also extremely interesting in view of the fact that this country was the only civilized power to record an excess of deaths over births during 1935, The French marriage rate has been falling almost continuously since 1930.” { TO ENTER COLLEGE 1 Miss Lillian Sullivan, daughter of Mrs. Viola Sullivan, prominent business woman and former mayor | of Valdez, is on her way to Los An-l geles, where she will enter college!| to take a business course before, returning north. . | e Try The Empire classifieds to:! results.
