ITH the coming of February 12
and the celebration of Lincoln's
birthday In more than half of
the states of the Union and with
the observance of the anniver-
sary in various forms through-
out the country, America will
have ampie reason for remems-
bering the name and fame of
one of her greatest sons. But
there Is another form of remems-
brance of Abraham Lincoln
which serves to recall him to his fellow-Amerl-
cans in every part of the country, not on just
one day of the year, but on every day.
We, as a people, have elevated Lincoln to a
pedestal, in the spiritual sense, a pedestal of
love and honor and reverence. So from many a
pedestal, in the physical sense, does the bronze
or stone image of Lincoln gaze down at the
people who delight thus to honor him. While it
would be idle to argue as to who was the great-
est American, {f the number of statues of him
that have been erected is any criterion, then it
seems certain that Lincoln is that man,
For these images of Lincoln, portraying him In
all the varied phases of his career, are to be
found in 18 states of the Union, from Massachu-
setts to Oregon and from Minnesota to Kentucky,
as well as in the District of Columbia. Proof
that he has become a world-figure lies in the fact
that England has two statues of him and Scot-
land one. Of those in this country, Illinois, the
state which gave him to the nation, has the
largest number—twelve. Curiously enough, Ken-
tucky, the state of his birth, has only three—
fewer than New Jersey, New York, Ohio and
Pennsylvania, none of which have any such spe-
cial connection with his life. Indiana, where
Lincoln lived as a boy, from his seventh to his
twenty-first year, has only two and both of these
were erected very recently.
One of the two Indiana statues is especially
significant. Among the many Images of Lincoln
are representatives of him as the rallsplitter, the
militia captain, the lawyer, the congressman, the
circuit rider, the debater, the candidate for Pres-
jdent, the President-elect, the President, the
Emancipator and the orator. All of them show
him in his early manhood and his maturity, and
connected with the erection of virtually all of
them was some element of public co-operation.
But it remained for private enterprise to fur.

MATE’S SUCCESS
World's Failures, | as Seen by
Peychologist,
While every normal man and wom-
an strives to learn the secrets of suc-
cess in life, how many pause to con
sider the causes of fallure? Dr, Ber-
nard Hollander, the psychologist,
says the London Dally Mall, analyzed
the reasons for fallure while speak-

a bad marriage—the wife who is a |
wilistone round her husband's neck. |
“A man falls,” sald Doctor Hol- |
lander, “if his ideas are larger than |
his purse; If Le trusts unworthy peo- |

amusements; If he does not do to |

“Some men fall because they are
given to dawdling, Indecision, worry-

expectations,

Doctor Hollander, were due to over-
