istic and that the average individual;
American is controlled by idealistic
impulses. Those who may contradict
me can not have sounded the depths
Of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo
Emerson. or studied the life and read
the speeches OF Abraham Lincoln, and
considered their far-reaching effect on
the American people. In Lincoln's
great character nothing can be more
striking than the way in which he
combined reality and the Hottest ideal,
with a thoroughly practical capacity
to achieve that ideal by practical
methods. This faculty seemed to give
him a farsighted, almost superhuman
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight Of the
keenest statesmen and thinkers Of his
age-Baron Speck Won Sternburg, In

built and 10000 people have settled
on what were desert lands To prepare
the way for these settlers 100 miles of
branch railways have been built, 1857
miles Of canals have been dug, many of
which carry whole rivers, and forty
seven tunnels have been excavated.

6OO,000,000 acres, of which about Co.
