ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S CREED.

In violation of every record and
every teaching of history, some of the
anti-expansionists are bringing Abra-
ham Lincoln to the support of their
puSillanimouS argument and doc
trines. In one of our Kansas ex-
changes we find this reference: ''Who
can doubt that if the martyrd Lin
coin were now in the presidential
chair he would call off the dogs of
war in the Philippines, seek to estab-
lish some basis of compromise, and in
so doing remain true to the doctrine
announced in his Gettysburg speech,
which affirm that all government
should be of the people, by the peo-
pie, for the people? Lincoln would
not seek to coerce population seek
ing after liberty"
Lincoln sought to coeree and did
coerce a population three times as
great as that of the Philippines when
il professed to be seeking after lib
erty. He put down the rebellion in
the South against the claims of all
the southern states that they had the
right under the Declaration of indie
pendence to throw off the yoke of the
Washington government. His right
and duty, whether considered legally
or morally, was no greater than is the
right and duty of President McKin-
ley to put down a similar rebellion in
another part of our common country.
1t is not true that under the Spanish
treaty the sovereignty of the Philip
pines belongs just as wholly to the
United States as does the sovereignty
of Virginia? Well, then, what else is
there to do but to put down the Phil
ippine rebellion? If we were all of
one mind that we did not want the
sovereignty in perpetuity; if we had
even officially agreed that on the first
OF next January we would abandon it
forever-it nevertheless would be our
duty to put down the rebellion and
keep it down until the final transfer
had been made.
But 1t is to the picture of Lincoln
as one who would temporiZe, seek
compromises, or ''call off the dogs of
war" that we must object most stren-
uously. No great commander in the
worlds history ever pursued an enc
my more relentlessly than Abraham
Lincoln. Perhaps at first not fully
impressed with the gigantic nature
of the task before him, and for a year
or two not entirely determined as to
what should be done about the slav-
cry question, he nevertheless under
stood very quickly that the war must
be fought until one side or the other
had been whipped into complete SUBJ
mission. In his fourth annual mes
sage to congress he said: 1.-The public
purpose to re-establIsh and maintain
the national authority is unchanged,
and, as we believe. Interchangeable. On
careful consideration it seems to me
that no attempt at negotiations with
the the insurgent leaders could result
in any good In stating single con-
ditiOn of peace 1 mean simply to say
that war will only cease on the part
of the government whenever it shall
have ceased on the part of those who
began it," In his second inaugural
address he expressed his determina-
tion to conquer the foe even if the
war continued until all the wealth |

piled up by the bondsmen's 250 years
until every drop Of blood drawn with
the lash shall be paid by another
drawn by the sword"
These are not the words of a tenn
porizer or. comprOmiser. Lincoln
felt there was but one thing to do
and that was to beat down those who
defied the government of the United
States. He was for his country, right
or wrong, but always for his country.
When Stevens, Campbell and Hunter,
the rebel emiSSaries, came to him and
asked for an armistice during which
Il basis might be arranged, Lincoln
said to them: ''There is but one basis
on which this war can cease, and that
is complete recognition of the au
thoritY of the government of the
United States. There is no use of a
conference to discuss details of re-
Cancellation before the first essential
to it has been obtained. So long as
the forces of the South stand in re-
bellion there can be no discussion OF
the latitude of peace. 1 cannot con-
sent tC an armiStice. The war must
be waged to its conclusion-the one
which in the eyes OF God shall prove
the best"
And if Lincoln were in the presi-
Dental chair to-day what would he
say to Aguinaldo and Aguinaldo's
sympathizers in the United States?
Would not he say that this Philip
pine rebellion against the authority
of the United States must be put
down swiftly and thoroughly?
Wouldn't he cast aside the temporiz-
ers and chastise with the sword until
the last vestige of rebellion had been
swept away.
The Kansas paper has quoted Lin
coins Gettysburg speech as authority
for the belief that his sympathies
would be with the Eilipinos in their
effort to break away from the govern
ment of the United States. On the
contrary; this Gettysburg address was
those who heard it with deep deter
mjnation to uphold the national gov
eminent against every assault upon
its integrity. Let us read this adj
dress in that sense, and in the further
sense, that as Lincoln's war was
bringing liberty to the negro slaves,
our war in the Philippines means the
blessings of liberty and of Justice to
another oppressed people:
I'VE cannot dedicate-we cannot
conservative cannot hallow-this
ground. The brave men, living and
dead, who struggled here, have conse-
Grated it far beyond our power to add
or detract. The world will little note
nor long remember, what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did
here. 1t is for US, the living, rather
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here
have thus far so nobly advanced. 1t
is rather for us here to be dedicated
to the great task remaining before us
that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full
measure of devotion-that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in yain-that this ma
tion, under God, shall have a new
birth of freedom-and that govern
ment of the people, by the people. for
