American ldealisr.

Since my first arrival in America !
have held that the real spirit is ideal.
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 loftiest ideal
with a thoroughly practical capacity
TO achieve that ideal by practical
methods This faculty seemed TO give
him a far-sightei. almost superhuman
vision. which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight OF the
keenest statesmen and thinkers OF his
