One of our exchanges suggests that 
Magnolia folk telegraph President 
Roosevelt to come and kill the lynx 
in Magnolia woods. 
Lacking only a few of touching the 
2400 mark, the number of employes 
now on the pay roll at the United Shoe 
Machinery company, are sufficient to 
populate a good-sized town. The 
morning train of nine cars comes 
filled with workmen to the “shoe,” as 
do also the electrics from Danvers, 
Wenham and Salem, and other local 
trains. 
Lincoln Day 
Next Monday, February 12, has 
been set apart to be observed by the 
people as Lincoln Day. While the 
day is not so universally observed as 
a holiday as that ten days later in 
memory of the founder of his country, 
more notice is being taken, and rightly, 
we believe, of the memory of the 
saviour of the nation. 
In many of the schools hereabouts, 
as well as all over the State and coun- 
try, the day will be recognized by 
special exercises. In the Manches- 
ter schools a special programme has 
been arranged, consisting of a salute 
to the flag, patriotic songs, recitations, 
etc, with the aim of bringing to the 
youth a clearer understanding of what 
the flag stands for and a deeper rev- 
erence for law and order.

Possibly there are no names on the 
scroll of fame whose earlier years pre- 
sent so marked a difference in the 
social scale as existed in the case of 
Washington and Lincoln. The former 
was of the rich, cultered, aristocratic, 
governing class, in the richest and 
most influential of all the colonies ; 
the latter came from a home where 
poverty to the verge of degradation, 
and privation to the utmost degree, 
offered nothing that was helpful to 
laudable ambition or cheering in a 
struggle for a better place among 
men. 
Today, however, both are accorded 
stations side by side as personifica- 
tions of patriotism, both lives illustrat- 
ing that true nobility of soul and high 
purpose are merely hindered by ad- 
verse environments, never effectually 
barred from advancement, or stopped 
from the accomplishment of a noble 
purpose. 
Climbing to the high position of 
President of the United States by a 
rough path, never freed from financial 
obligations that were a drag upon his 
energies, winning place after place of 
responsibility and honor in spite of 
discouraging surroundings, Abraham 
Lincoln presents that type of man 
whose career must be a spur and in- 
spiration to succeeding generations, 
into whose hands must come the con- 
trol of this ‘‘government of the people, 
for the people and by the people,” as 
generations come and go. 
Gov. Guild says in his proclamation : 
“On the 12th day of February, 97 
years ago, there was born in a home 
of poverty, in Kentucky, a boy des- 
tined to share with George Washing- 
ton the first place in the hearts of 
Americans. 
‘The General Court has determined, 
and wisely, that the anniversary of an 
event so auspicious should no longer 
remain unregonized by this common- 
wealth. By virtue of the authority 
is offering small blocks of its stock in order to extend its commercial plant. 
company is now doing a fast increasing commercial business on land and sea, as its 
rates are from 20% to 50% less than wire or cable rates. 
Now is the time to invest while the STOCK IS LOW.

The 
The future is assured. 
invested in me, I therefore declare 
and proclaim February 12 Lincoln 
Day, and urge upon the people of the 
commonwealth the consideration and 
commemoration of the life and ser- 
vices of Abraham Lincoln. 
“The hour of Lincoln’s birth is 
unknown. I suggest that at twenty- 
two minutes past seven in the morn- 
ing, the hour of his death, the tolling 
of a passing bell remind us that at 
that hour the United States lost the 
brave, patient soul that would have 
carried our country in safety and 
honor through reconstruction as it 
carried it in safely and honor through 
war. 
“Let the children in our schools, 
the children whom Lincoln loved so 
well, come to their places in the morn- 
ing only. Let them welcome to their 
school homes the survivors of the 
Grand Army that made the federation 
anation. Let the children hear the 
words spoken at Gettysburg and the 
emancipation proclamation, and let 
them join with those living of Lin- 
coln’s soldiers in singing the ‘Star 
Spangled Banner’ and the ‘Battle 
Hymn of the Republic.’ 
“Let the national colors be dis- 
played from sunrise to sunset from | 
the liberty pole, the public building. 
and the home. Let cannon at mid- 
day fire the national salute. Let our 
merchants and employers of labor 
close their places of business as gen- 
erally as possible during the noon 
hour. Let such churches as may be 
flung open, that those who wish to 
worship may enter. Finally, may all 
men on Lincoln Day, wherever noon 
overtakes them, pause for one passing 
moment and give thanks to God who, 
having sent us the founder of our 
liberties, sent us again in our hour of 
need a savior of the nation.”’ 
WHISPERINGS 
‘«« A Boston Reader’”’ sends the fol- 
lowing item for the Whisperings 
column: Oliver T. Roberts and 
George Knight were in Boston on 
Tuesday afternoon and saw the play 
entitled “‘ Babes in the Woods” in one 
of Boston’s largest theatres.
