The Peoples Lincoln.

No man in all American history has
coin today. Always uppermost in the
thoughts of the American people, and
sharing only with Washington their
love and patriotic devotion, he is near
er to their hearts today than before
He has grown closer as the years have
passed and as succeeding generations
have come.
And it is not merely to memory that
the people pay homage, nor yet to
statesman, nor a president; but to a
man; man destined to live heroic
life as we'll as to die an heroic death
and then to live after.
1t is doubtful if, in the history of
nations, any human being has received
such heart tributes as those that have
been paid to Abraham Lincoln. His
name has become an incentive to the
highest and noblest aspirations of
those who follow. In the
realm of thought and in the nation
wide field of eloquence today there
will be beauty of sentiment and
diction, and fresh flowers will adorn
a hallowed name; but it is not to be
expected that there is anything new
that can be said of this great and good
man.
The people yearn, nevertheless, tC
hear anew, the story of his beautiful
life; to read again the words that fell
almost as if by divine Inspiration, from
his lips in times of the greatest crisi;
in the country's history.
The people love to be told of Lin

WHAT AMERICAN PRESIDENTS
HAVE SAID OF HIM.

Johnscn.-The grief of the ma
ton is still fresh. 1T finds some
'solace in the consideration that he
lived to enjoy the highest proof of
it's confidence by entering on the
renewed term of the chief magis-
tracy to which he has been
elected.
Grant.-A man of great ability,
pure patriotism, unselfish nature,
full of forgiveness to his enemies.
bearing malice toward none. he
proved to be the man above all
others for the great struggle
through which the nation had to
pass TO place itself among the
greatest in the family of nations.
Hayes.-To him. more than to
any other man, the cause of the
union and liberty is indebted for
its final triumph.
Garfield. He was one of the
few great rulers whose wisdom in
creased with his power and whose
spirit grew gentler and tenderer
as his triumphs were multiplied.
Cleveland. supremacy great
and good man.
Mckinley The story of this
simple life is the story of a plain,
honest, manly citizen, true pa
triot and profound statesman, who,
believing with all the strength of
his mighty soul in the institutions
of his country, won because of
them the highest place in it's gov
eminent, then fell precious sac
rifice to the union he held SO dear,
which Providence had spared his
life long. enough to save.
Roosevelt. - Nothing was more
noteworthy in all o. Lincoln's
character than the way in which
he combined fealty to the Hottest
ideal with a thoroughly practical
capacity to achieve that ideal by
practical methods. He did not war
with phantoms; he did not strug-
gle among the clouds; he faced
facts: he endeavored to get the
best results he could out of the
warning forces with which he had
TO deal
President-Elect Taft. - Certain
it is that we have never had
man in public life whose sense of
duty was stronger. whose bearing
toward those with whom he came
in contact, whether his friends or
political opponents, was character
lied by greater sense of fairness
than Abraham Lincoln.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-02-12
A Presidential Danger.

The resolution which is now before
congress for the purpose of amending
the constitution so that in the event
of the death of a president-elect there
may be full and certain provisions for
filling the office on the 4th of March,
should not be allowed to drop Even
il it is too late to take action at this
session, it should go over to the next
congress with distinct understanding
that it shall be thoroughly considered
with the purpose of arriving at def
mite conclusion.
If Mr.. Taft were to die in the course
of the next three weeks, or for that
matter had died at any time since the
assembling of the electors in January,
there would be no certainty whatever
as to the methods which would be en-
ployed for choosing a president. Con-
troversy, confusion and possibly dan
gerous agitation would be the order
of the day.
This omission of the constitution to
provide remedy for such a contingent
cy clearly needs to be amended. The
next congress ought undoubtedly to
submit an amendment to the states
for that purpose so that it may be
adopted before the next presidential
election.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-02-12
Dixie"

The southern papers are surprised
there was opposition anywhere in the
north to the playing of Dixie at a
Lincoln celebration.
Says the Mobile (Ala.) Register:
The committee in charge of the Lin
coin centenary celebration in Chicago
has set a good example to the school
board by announcing that to sing
Dixie is not treason. The action of
the school board in forbidding Dixie
is not considered official. and, to show
that sectional feeling has been wiped
out the memorial committee has CIV
en- instructions to the band which will
play at the principal memorial gather
ing to play Dixie. Popular feeling in
Chicago is against the school board.
and it is probable that teachers in the
various schools will be permitted to
make up their own musical programs
for the Lincoln day exercises and to
| include the stirring southern air if
they see fit
Dixie" is rousing old air, and no
one but a narrow-minded simpleton
would raise a question as to the pro-
priety of playing Dixie" 1t has be

Until the coming of Chiswick tbs
