To me one of the most interest
ing considerations in connection
with his public life is that though
he signed, as war measure the
Emancipation Proclamation yet
he never abandoned in his per-
sonal convictions the belief that
the South had rights by inherit
ance, and by perfectly legal pur-
chase, in their living property.
This is demonstrated beyond all
cavil by his attempt to get Della
ware to pass a gradual emanci-
patton act, the owners to be paid
$500 head for every slave, man
woman or child, belonging to
them. The measure failed, of
course. because feelings were
too heated on each side to permit
the calm judgment that Lincoln
himself possessed. The fact
that he dared such step while
the hotheads were ready to de
nounce him, is but little known
or little understood. Before the
war ended Mr.. Lincoln had all
ready commenced to turn over
in his mind q plan for issuing
bonds to the extent of S400, 600,
900 as a means Of settling the
ruined South on It's feet again

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. }

The manner of a mans disap
pearance from public life mat
ters but little at any time, and as
the years go by, matters almost
nothing. The summing up of a
mans life is not found in the
manner of his death; it is found
in the work that he did and the
influences that he set free to con
tinue his work when he was
gone.
So we need occupy ourselves
but little at this time of the year
in thinking of the dreadful as
sassination of Mr.. Lincoln. We
should recognize that the pas
sions rife in public life at that
time no longer hold sway, and
therefore his assassination be-
comes a mere circumstance in
our national history. But his
marvellous influence in his own
day, his almost heroic capacity
for bearing burdens, his myster-
ious humor when the load was
SO heavy upon him and his far
seeing craftsmanship from 1861
onward, are a precious heritage
in national memory. We can all
of us, North and South, look
back gratefully and be thankful
that such character had been
prepared in the backwoods, and
in a life of patient effort, to STEP
forward at the right moment
into the right place, capable Of
holding in his hand the fate of 6
nation and never waver one
moment at the responsibility.
Consider the example tina
Lincoln set to politicians OF oul
time, by meeting every issu,
fairly, squarely and strongly, no
weakly evading, not thinking
that a condition was vanquisheC
simply by closing the eyes to it
Did he not say that a question
was never settled until it wa
settled right ? That is as tru'
today as it was in his time, an,
it is one of those self-eviden
truths that will never change.

President Roosevelt is out in a
proclamation in which he says
that he hopes republican con-
ventions will not choose Office
holders for delegates whenever
it is possible to get good men
who are not holding office. ;"
This is an uncomfortable limita-
ton. Is it possible to get any
such men-that is the question
Are there any good men who are
not holding Office ? The presi-
dent seems to imply that there
are no such men living except in
the democratic party, and per-
haps they would not answer.
The presidents association have
taught him that real good men
holding Office are as scarce as
hens back teeth.

The MESSENGER believes the
patriotism of Lincoln ought to be
ours of the present day-a pat
rotism that is not content with
echoing the past, but that striv-
es each day to make the lot of
our fellows happier. The hungry,
the tyrannized, the overworked
have very vague ideas of duty to
an unkind country. The more
we better the conditions of those
about US, the stronger patriots
do we make out of them. We
young men must never drop,
while living, into the satisfied
condition of glorified saints;
there is too much to do, too much
wrong to be righted, too much
retrogression to combat. See
how industrial conditions have
changed since Lincoln's time;
vast factories have absorbed
small shops; vast floods of men
have made competition for labor
too severe ALMOST to bear, vast
numbers of men who would work
cannot; vast numbers of men
who could work do not care to,
and thus yield to the tyranny o.
petty bosses. Hordes of young
people are forced out into the
competition of life before they
are able 10 successfully stant
the strain. Their wages are pit
tances in many cases, and theil
poor little pay-envelopes are oft
en- robbed by employers, who
"dock" the pay of an hour o.
more for a iive-minute hardness
Compared with the strain 0
modern life in our crowded fac
tory towns, the lot of the grea
majority of the slaves was a sun
shiny idyl-no care for the NOR

Another aspect of his life is
one that is valuable in the ex-
IRENE, to us just at this time of
bewilderment, when even wise
men are asking themselves what
the United States as a nation
should do when confronted by
new conditions. Though Lincoln
was trained as a lawyer and
therefore more apt than usual to
be guided and influenced by pre-
cedents, yet none can say that
he failed in adjustability. He
saw clearly that the fathers
could never have forseen and be-
cause they therefore had never
expressed themselves regarding
the new problems he felt at lib
erty to act on the judgment of
the living rather than that of the
dead. In short, he made prece-
dents for himself, and did what
every true American ought to
do and can do, the best under
all circumstances. When the
great disruption confronted Lin
coin. he faced a condition aud
trod a pathway that no signer OF
the Declaration of Independence
knew about.
Because of the lack of knowl
edge on the part of the fore
fathers, he did not fatuously
deny the existence of the path
but with a calmnees almost sup
ernatural and and a devotion
most exhausting to himself ht
used the light and judgment o.
his own day to meet the prob
lens and burdens of his own day
We do not for a moment belittl'
the value of past history anC
records. In the ordinary affair
of national life the past is simpl,
invaluable, but when extraordin
airy conditions confront us, tn,
past is valueless, except in tn,
one lesson that great problem
must be met by great men, ant
decided in a great-minded, dis
passionate, unselfish way. Lin
coins example in this directio
is encouraging.

A Tough Rawhide story.

/ A Hopkins man in an early day, re-
lates that most veracious of all Missou-
ri newspapers, the Hopkins Journal,
hauled lots Of cord wood and used raw
hide harness on his teams. Rawhide,
we all know, expands when wet and
contracts on drying out. Well, this man
was hauling an exceptionally big load
one day when a thunderstorm overlook
him just as he reached long hill lead
ing to his home. He was walking be-
side his team that he might pay close
attention to them and did not notice
what the rain was doing for his raw
hide harness until the top of the long
hill was reached, when to his utter
amazement the wagon stood at the bot
tom of the hill, the rawhide tugs being
fairly stretched into fiddle strings. He
WAS puzzled for a moment, but just
then the sun came out, and a happy
idea found Judgment in his fertile
brain. He unhitched the team, fas-
tened the tugs securely around a big
tree and went in to dinner. When he
returned the sun had caused the raw
hide to contract sufficiently to bring the
wagon up that steep hill with a mo-
mentum that smashed both front
wheels when it came in contact with
the tree around which the tugs had
been fastened.

about sixteen car lengths. No one was

Freight traffic was blocked, and passen-
