Lincoln’s Hopes for the Negro IN HIS OWN WORDS . •■ I - “What I would most desire would be the separation of the white and black races.” (Spoken at Springfield, Illinois, July 17, 1858), Abraham Lincoln Complete Works, edited by Nicolay and Hay, published by The Century Company, 1894, Volume I, page 273. “I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races—that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, —nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which will ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together, there, must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, ain in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.” (Spoken in sixth joint debate with Senator Douglas at Quincy, Illinois, October 13, 1858), Abraham Lincoln Complete Works, edited by Nicolay and Hay, The Century Company, 1894, pages 369, 370, 457 and 458; also at Charleston, Illinois, September 18, 1858, in fourth debate with Douglas. “Why . . . should the people of your race be colonized, and where? Why should they leave this country? This is, perhaps, the first question for proper consideration. You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both, as I think your race suffer very greatly, many of them by living among us, while ours suffer from your presence. In a word we suffer on each side. If this be admitted, it affords a reason at least why we should be separated. “It is better for both, therefore, tq.be separated.” (Spoken to a committee of colored men at the White House, July 14, 1862).

Smoking Decline Is Reported In Nation

By WESLEY G. PIPPERT United Press International One month after the surgeongeneral’s report linking cigarettes and cancer, state revenue figures Indicate that Americans are smoking less. A United Press International survey today showed that in almost every state polled, income from cigarette taxes is running less than before. Income ran higher in Indiana, but only because the cigarette tax was increased by the 1963 Legislature. State tax stamps were bought for 49 million cigarettes in January compared with 56 million in Jantiary last year, a decrease of 16.7 per cent. But revenues were higher because of a penny-a-pack increase in the tax. South Dakota showed a 24 per cent drop. Kansas revenue from cigarettes in January was the lowest in 17 months. Gov. Edmund G. .Brown based his California budget on the assumption the average person would smoke four packs less this year. There some indication, however, the cutback in smoking would be temporary. California tax officials said they believed many persons would try to kick the tobacco habit—and fail. Notes Rise Idaho officials counted a $27,000 drop in January over previous Januaries, but state tax collector Floyd West noted that cigarette smoking seemed to be on the rise again. Whereas the drop amounted to 15 per cent after the U.S. Public Heatlh Service report Jan. 11, the decrease now is only 5 to 10 per cent. Arkansas residents apparently turned to drinking instead of smoking. Arkansas cigarette tax revenue dropped $43,400 in January but the tax on liquor produced $79,000 more last month and on beer an additional $30,000. New Hampshire tobacco receipts were down $65,000 in January compared to December. State tobacco tax collector i’aul Casci estimated cigar and pipe smoking increased 25 per cent and cigarette smoking Cyprus Leader May Ask U. N. To Intervene NICOSIA, Cyprus <UPI> — Cyprus President Archbishop Makarios today was reported hardening in his attitude toward the proposed NATO peace force and leaning toward direct United Nations intervention in his country’s crisis. The countryside was reported tense but quiet after the latest fighting between Greek and Turkish Cypriots Monday. Diplomatic hopes were fading that a peace force plan could be approved by all parties involved and implemented before the smouldering communal hate erupts into full-scale civil was. i Western sources said Makarios was becoming impatient with the failure so far of the United States, Britain, Greece and Turkey to come up with a peace plan acceptable to his government. It was felt that Makarios considered the London peace conference to have ended in deadlock, leaving an appeal to the U.N. Security Council as the best recourse for a solution to the crisis. The communal dispute over constitutional rights has resulted in increasing clashes-, kidnapings and lootings between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The latest Monday was a gun fight at Episkopi-in which one “ Greek Cypriot was killed and One Turkish Cypriot was wounded. US. Uhdersecretary of State George Ball was pressing diplomatic negotiations on a revised Anglo-American proposal for a 10,WO-man force to keep the peace in Cyprus pending a political settlement. He discussed the revised version with Greek -officials Monday in Athens before moving on to Ankara for talks with Turkish leaders. _ • Informed sources said the new version was different in that it omitted reference to the original idea of using NATO soldiers — including U.S. troops —for the peace force. It apparently would leave the force’s composition open to negotiation with the Cyrpus government. STOP that cough with our own COugh Syrup Kohne Drug Store

dropped only 3 per cent. Pennsylvania reported its 8 cent* cigarette tax yielded $924,000 less than expected during the first seven months of the fiscal year — including $165,000 under estimates in January. Ohio reported an increase in cigarette tax collections of sl.l million during the fiscal year up to the time of the surgeongeneral’s report. Since then, the increase has shrunk to $600,000. A cigarette tax division official in West Virginia said wholesalers had told of a 10 per cent drop in cigarette sales. This reflected a drop of $84,000 in collections during January, but the official said this could be misleading because of complex factors. Tennessee said it was making 38 per cent more from cigarette taxes so far this year—but because of a broadened tax base. If it were not for the new tax base, the revenues would j have dropped a half million dol-j lars. _
