LINCOLN AND IMPERIALISM.

some Of the other imperialist
journals of the south-of which
there are not very many-have
been making the point that south
erners who have been forced to
submit to the authority of the
United States cannot consistently
make the-conseuU-of the-govern-
ed argument with regard to the
Philippines, further, they say that
quoting Abraham Lincoln, who
sail that God Almighty never
made a man good enough to gov
ern another man without that
mans consent, as the champ IN
of the-consent-of- the governed
theory, loses its force when it is
considered that Abraham Lincoln
was the war president who SUBJ
dued the south.
Now, that is a very bitter argu-
ment for a paper published in the
south to make. Abraham Lin
coin undoubtedly believed III the
consent Of the governed and also
in the coercion Of the south. He
was perfectly consistent in these
two beliefs, as he promised the
belief in the coercion of the south
with the supposed priority of the
union over the state as to time
and as to sewerage authority,
Now the south has always con.
tended that this was wrong, his
torlcally and legally, but Mr..
Lincoln believed it therefore was
consistent, To Lincoln the
secession of a state from the un-
ion was exactly similar to the
secession of a county from state.
Hear what he had to say in his
special message to congress in
1851:
"The states have their status in
the union, and they have no other
legal status, The union is older
than any of the states, and, in
fact, it created them as states.
Originally some dependant colon
les made the union, and in turn
the union threw off their old de-
pendence for them and made them
states such az they are. "
Now while all of this was I'M
doubtedly wrong in the southern
view, it shows Lincoln's opinion
and how in his own mind he re-
conciled the-consent-of- the gov
erned principle with the coercion
of the south.
If it were true that we of the
south are estopped from sympa-
thizing with the Filipinos and ad-
vocating the cause of their inde-
pendence because we have lost
our own liberty, it would be our
duty to fight the United States
for the liberty taken away from
US and regain 1t,
The southern states have equal
rights with the northern states
and.are upon an equal footing in
every respect. Texas is as free
as Massachusetts; Louisiana as
free as New York. One is not
before the other, nor the other
before the one. The states are
free and equal,
1t is proposed to make Of the
Philippine islands not equal states
of the United States, but subject
territory. There is no doubt that
Abraham Lincoln, if he were
alive and were true to his repeat
ed declarations, would agree with
the southern people upon this
question, although the mention of
the fact seems to be exceedingly T.
unpala5able to imperialists in all
parts of the country Houston

LITERARY NOTES


"The Explorer" by Mary Tracy Earle, which follows the novelette,, is a complete contrast to it in theme and treatment. but of equal excellence for the skill with which a child's ingenious view point is subtly interpreted.
 Among the other stories are The Whimperys Tradition" by G. B. Bur gin, in which the noted English author tells a delightful story with that spirit and grace for which he is famed: "The Builder of the Lighthouse" by Molly Elliot Seawell, a romantic tale, of which the scene is laid on the borders of the St. Lawrence; "The Cat and the Coin." by John Regnault Ellyson. a fantastic narrative. unique in it's mat ter, while in its manner one finds the extreme of literary charm: Tn the Shadow of Fuji," by Carlton Dave d story of Japan; "The Intruder" by Ethel Watts Mumford, a powerful piece of fiction, in which the art Is so perfect that the reader cannot regret the tragedy; Count Oguri's Quest" by OnOto Watanna, strong psychologi- cal study; "A Literary Agent" by Owen Oliver. and A College Santa Claus,' by Ralph Henry Barbour, two stories of the Christmas season and both tender and true, though far ip- deed from the hackneyed Yuletide tale.
 The Viscount de Santo- -Thyrso con- tributes an essay, American Women and American Men in which this former Portuguese minister to the United States shows true insight and much wit in his characterization <of Americans. Edgar Saltus writes with even more than his accustomed bril- liancy, under the title, "Claret and Cream"
 There are also important contribu- tions by Gelett Burgess. Fletcher Cow an. Felix Noel. Isaac Andersen, Octave Pradels, Robert Bloom Harold Mel bourne. Katharine Pelton and others. Among the poets contributing to this number are Madison Cawein, Victor Plarr. Frank Dempster Sherman, Clin- ton Soollard. Arthur Macy, Charles G. D. Roberts. the Vicomte J. de Beaufort, Charles Hanson Towne, Theodosla Garrison. Elsa Barker, Myrtle Reed and Ethel M. Kelley.
 There are just fifty items in the total contents. and this does not include the capital jests and epigrams scattered through the pages. As a whole, this issue of the magazine Is the best num- Der of The Smart Set yet published-no higher praise could be given.
