seers and leaders usually have fallen on deaf ears and prejudiced minds. For many months astute financiers and captains of industry have been warning the American people against the danger of extravagance. They told us that the day of reckoning would inevitably follow the season of wasteful spending and that a showdown was only a matter of time. Few heededvthe warning. The great majority kept going at the old clip spending instead of saving, buying luxuries instead of necessities, until an entirely false and unsound condition was produced. There are signs today that the showdown is near. In many cities factories have been forced
to curtail production. Gas companies are com-j depend for light, heat and the production of plaining that they cannot obtain enough coal to j power for factories. The demands made for the

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
A LETTER. About twenty years ago, when I was r junior in college, I arrived at a point where I didn't know what to do or where to go. Things looked dark. I was discouraged. I needed something and somebody to bolster me up. Then I remembered a man whom I had heard speak and who had inspired me. I wrote and asked him what I ought to do. The man was Dr. Stephen A. Northrop, a minister in Kansas City. His reply was the means of turning the whole course of my life, and his fine influence has inspired me through all these years. And so I believe that if I reproduce that letter exactly as he sent it to me, it will help thousands of others as it did me. "My dear Adams: Your letter is
mine. Win take a moment before the rush of the day is at hand, to reply. I do not know just what to say to you. I will write you, however, as if you were my own boy, or my own brother. "The city is crowded with 'eager men, facing the fearful odds of life, and many of them are not well equipped for its responsibilities. The great need in commercial business and professional life today is for allaround, symmetrical men! There are too many in the market places with fringes and ragged edges; in other words, an incomplete life. "You ran guess what I am aiming at. It will be the bane of your life, 1he regret of all time with ypu, because you did not finish SOMETHING. You will be sorry you did not have the nerve and the force to complete your college course.

Ten times more do these times call for well-rounded men. Now read Dr. Northrop's letter over again.

Republican at the state convention to
be held a week later, and suggested that Michigan forestall Wisconsin. This was done. Vermont a few weeks later followed the same action as Michigan and Wisconsin. The national organization of the Republican party really dates from the convention of Feb. 22, 1856, held at Pittsburgh, and which was held pursuant to a call issued by the chairmen of the Republican state committees of Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin. A Republican national committee was selected, which met on March 29 to select June 17 as the date, and Philadelphia as the place for holding the national convention, which nominated Fremont and Dayton. Historians, not animated by partisianship and disposed to take an unimpassioned view of the various claims in relation to the distinction of being the birthplace of the Republican party, are inclined to believe that
the Illinois state convention, held in Bloomington on May 2H. 1856, when Lincoln delivered his famous "lost, speech," should be given the credit for the real awakening of the nation. Lincoln's Wonderful Speech. It is noteworthy that the early speakers at this convention failed to arouse any real enthusiasm. Then
Lincoln mounted the platform. "Upon
OR THE i k's aee there was an expression of 0li ait intense emotion," Judge M. Scott of
Bloomington, one of the delegates, afterward declared. "It was the emotion of a great soul. Even in stature he seenied greater. He appeared to realize that it was the crisis of his life " Tile speech was the greatest, of the convention. It fairly electrified all v.-ho had heard it. It was great, in the language, the burning eloquence and in the effective manner in which it was delivered. If ever a speech ws
dissolve the union, nor do we intend to let you dissolve it." "As he uttered these memorable and prophetic words the convention arose as one man and there was a universal burst of applause. Those who heard Lincoln's speech could not. know, neither could he himself know, that it .would be followed by his famous "House divided against itself' speech in 1S5S; that the Lincoln-
Douglas debates would elect him presi
dent in 18(10, and that the resulting Civil war would usher in the 13th amendment. Among the metropolitan newspaper reporters present was Joseph Medill, who represented the Chicago Tribune. He wrote a few paragraphs of the
cpeech at the outset, but, like the
other journalists, he became so ab
torbed in Ijncoln's magnetic oratory that he forget to take notes. As with
the others, he lived only in the inspiration of the hour. All who heard
the great oration realized that it had
been a purifying fire for the new party
but as to what. it. contained no one could say. Gradually it-became known as Lincoln's "lost speech," and is so designated to this day. It crowned his right to popular leadership In his
own state which thereafter was never
disputed.
His friends noticed that the dentist was looking blue and inquired, "What's the matter, Joe?" "Why, I've had an ulcerated tooth and yesterday it got so bad I had to pull it myself." "Did you get relief?" "Oh, yes." "Then why this grouch?" "Why this grouch? Because you idiot, I once got $400 for treating a tooth like that.' The visitor to the lawyer's office stood in amazement.
"I say, old man! he exclaimed.
"Whatever has happened to you? Had
a motor smash or what?' The lawyer shook his head wearily as she gingerly touched his bruised and bandaged face.
"No. You remember that case the othr day when I defended a man charged with assault? Well, I made a strong plea for him on the ground that he was a fool rather than a criminal." "Yes, but " "I did it so well that he was acquitted and he waited for me outside the court." ,

MARTIN VAW iJU..iM Al o
EFORE Van Buren had been in the Cabinet a year, Jackson publicly pointed him out as his
successor in the Presidency and he remained through the eight years of
the administration the first, last and only choice of his imperious old chief. In the idle gossip of history, he is said to have won that high favor by his courtesies toward Peggy O'Neal Eaton when other officials were snubbing her. It was easy and natural for Van Buren to be polite to Peggy since he could make up his calling list without having to consider any feminine sensibilities in his own family. For his wife had died 10 years before, leaving him four sons and a memory, to which he remained loyal through 43 years of widowerhood and until the close of a life free from the breath of social
scandal. There were more serious factors than Peggy O'Neal in the advancement of Van Buren. The choice lay naturally between him and John C. Cal
houn, and the latter had given Jackson personal reasons enough for disliking him before his adoption of nullification added political reasons for that dislike. To promote the candidacy of Van Buren, the President deprived himself of his counsels in the Cabinet after two years and sent him off as Minister to Kngland, where he would be removed to a safe distance from the enmities of domestic politics in a bitter period. But those enmities pursued him beyond the water's edge, the Senate refusing to confirm his appointment, professedly because of its objection to his policy toward Great Britain while he was in the State Department. The underlying motive was expressed in Calhoun's exultant words. "It will kill him, sir; kill him dead. He will never kick, sir; never kick." This victim of Senatorial hostility already was in London and frankly enjoying the life there, not the least of its delights being a coaching trip with Washington Irving, who was Secretary of the Legation. Learning of his rejection on the eve of a ball at Talley-

the Vice President to go to the Pres
ident and beg him to spare the poor 1 country from ruin. : Van Buren followed the melodra- f '
znauc outburst seemingly witn tne most respectful attention, listening with - a guileless countenance as if anxious to catch every tearful word of the appeal and bear it to the White House. Leaving hgs chair at the close ct the speech and with all eyes upon him he walked down the aisle toward Clay, but not to discuss with him the message which he had been so solemnly charged to carry to Jackson. - On the contrary, he asked him. with a teaming smile and a sweeping bow, for a bit of his fine old Maccaboy. Having taken a pinch of the snuff from the box of the astonished Senator, the Vice President administered it to his nose with a mocking twirl of his fingers and then carelessly sauntered out of the chamber. It was a smart and it may have been a fitting retort to Clay's theatrics: but in great public meetings Van Buren was gravely denounced as an, unfeeling Nero. Sarcasm always is a treacherous weapon in politics.

rand's, he successfully masked his wounded feelings as he moved about the brilliant scene at the French Ambassador's and received the more or
less indignant sympathies of the notables. One of these, Lord Auckland, was prophetic when he assured the rejected minister. "It is an advantage to a public man to be the subject of an outrage." Beforo he had landed in America again, Van Buren was nominated as Vice President to preside over the body that had rejected him as a foreign minister. The Vice Presidency, to which Van Buren was elected in the great victory
that swept Jackson into his second term, always is a blank page in a biograph, but there is a story worth telling in this instance. The opponents of the Administration were charging a passing financial disturbance to the withdrawal of the public deposits from the United States Bank. Henry Clay in the Senate made a
