the greatest of them ali. That which
makes Abraham Lincoln SO dear to
the hearts of the people was his intense
humaneness. For all mankind he had
a sympathy, and his heart ever beat
in unison with the heart of the peo-
pie.
OF late years there has been strong
tendency to defy the martyr presi-
dents, to take from him all human at
tributes, to place him separate and
apart from his fellew-men as though
he had not been of them. To do so IS,
in reality, to detract from his true
greatness, which consists in the fact
that he was, in all that the word i'm
plies, a man. That we do not know
Washington as we know Lincoln de-
tracts from his true worth. The COM
mon conception of him is that of some
stately figure stalking across the stage
of life, but stage figure still This
false dedication cf Lincoln would make
him just such a figure. Let him re-
main as he is.
When he was stricken down his life
work was practically over. He had seen
the rebellion crushed, the slaves made
free, the Union restored. The end OF
his life, life that had been devoted
to his country, was tragic in the eX-
IRENE, yet that end put the seal OF his
blood upon his work.
AS the years roll by his countrymen
appreciate him more and more. They
better realize his worth and greatness
He left them united country and in
his devotion to it an example that is
a precious Inheritance for all time, and
the more they assimilate their lives to
his the better patriots will they be.

Western Democrats are unanimous
in the opinion that the man of ali men
whom they do not wish to see nomi-
mated at Chicago in July is John G,
Carlisle, of Kentucky. He is neither
an eastern man nor a western man,
but a man who lives just south of the
Ohio. The Democratic party must not
be handicapped in the presidential
race with Mr.. Carlisles record as
secretary of the treasury 1t would
sink a bigger man than he.
