issue no matter what the new law may

less and that they did not say more
proved their good taste andself-command.
At later day came the Willett speech
"a deliverance wholly out Of line with
the subject. and in a way as much of an
affront to the House as to the President.
The House needed no tip from the country
as to its duty In that case. Out of respect
to itself in the first place. and out of re-
spect to the presidential Office in the Sec
ond place. it ruled the speech out of its
permanent record as unworthy of preser-
walton there.
So stand matters today, and the incident
is closed It is impossible to suggest
where the House might have strengthened
it's action. Nothing was done in haste
I'm heat. The President. and not the
House. was the aggressor. Whatever war
was made he made it. Had the House
accepted his affront, its humility would
SO closely have resembled pusillanimity
that the services of an expert in defini-
tons would have been necessary to cor
rectly mark its conduct.

Abraham Lincoln.

Mr.. LincoIn's place is. has long been and
ever will be. among the worlds heroes.
And among those heroes he is unique He
touched the extremes He rose from OBJ
security to the highest place. Self-taught.
he became a master of expression. pro-
ducing addresses and state papers which
Carl Schurz. an accomplished critic,
thought worthy to stand for beauty and
power beside the deliverances of the He
brew prophets. He was the most bitterly
abused and the most lovingly praised
man of his time. He entered the White
House an object of ridicule and distrust,
and left 1t in his coffin lamented even by
his adversaries. 1t is little to say that
we have produced no man like him. The
world has not.
The test of this mans greatness is that
extravaganza has not feazed 1t. He first
encountered the extravaganza of abuse.
Some of the sharpest tongues and the
sharpest pens of his generation at home
and abroad exercised themselves on him.
Ridiculing the raisplitter became fad /,
and the fad spread. London, and Paris
in less malicious way, took a hand. All
in vain. Exalted character and purpose
survived all the assaults.
Then followed the eXtravaganc of
praise. Former enemies, rebuked by
death. sought to eXpiate their offenses by
stilted eulogy Lift long friends and sup
porters, finding their appraisements ap-
proved by time and act spoke In higher
notes than ever of their leaders wonder
full gifts and performances. They over
dressed with rich language and compari
son the fine form of a perfect simplicity.
But the real Lincoln can be traced
through 1t all. He lives in his own words
and deeds. They interpret themselves.
He rose above all his detractors, and
rises now above the most eloquent of his
eulogists. The best study of the man is
in himself and what he wrought for the
country during his four years and thirty
days in the White House. In fact, they
are the only safe sources. for if one
relies upon the commentators-popula
orators, students of history, closet es-
sayists or philosophers-he is certain to
miss the cream of the story's inspiration
and instruction.
The most striking and Illuminating Of
today's celebrations is taking place in
kentucky. the state of MI Lincoln's
birth. President Roosevelt is present and
laying the corner stone of an imposing
building to be erected on the farm on
which it is claimed Mr.. Lincoln was born
From that spot little boy was led by the
hand by parents who possessed nothing
but love for each other and their off
spring. The parents in their new home
died in poverty and obscurity. The little
boy survived. thrived and grew to be a
giant physically and a leader in a border
settlement. AS the settlement advanced
he advanced, and by the time Illinois had
attained a place of influence among the
states he had attained a place of influence
among the foremost of his associates

Tariff and Republican Opportunity


The country need not hope for q re-
vision Of the tariff at The hands of the
present Congress. The republicans can
not AFFORD to lower the tariff; every man
who has a schedule has contributed to
their campaign fund and must be pro-
tected.
1t is true that the contributions to
the national fund We're published. but
moneys received by the congressional
fund were so tainted that the republicans
dared not publish them even after the
election.
Tariff revision deyolves upon the next
not the present, Congress. 1t will be ac-
conipIished in some form. The repub-
licans are preparing a bill and the dem
ocrats are discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of
Offering substitute instead of challeng-
ing. item by item. the work of the oppo-
sition the debate proceeds.
But what Mr.. Bryan says is of sig
nficance as showing what the attitude
OF himself and his friends will be after
the republican bill has become a law
1t will not satisfy them. They will in
s!st that ii represents merely the redemp-
ton OF private promises made to cam
paigr contributors. In other words Mr..
Bryan charges that schedules have been
sold and that the goods will he delivered
Mr.. Bryan should not have spoken
thus without the facts, and If he has the
facts he should lose no time in publish
ing them. The campaign is over ard tn
closed season Tor eXtravagances is run
ming. What might have been excused
last fall before election day. while all
tongues were unbridled, is unseemly now
Moreover. Mr. Bryan lays himself open
10 inquiries. If he does not know the
details of the republican congressional
campaign fund-and of course he does
not-what has armed him with suspicion !?

vision of 1894, when he was a member

The Buffalo Express sees the matter in
this way:
The public did not approve of the war
of the House of Representatives on the
President. Moreover. the public wrote to
its varied representatives and said so. IT
said so plainly and emphatically. The
House will, in consequence, retire more
or less gracefully from the battlefield"
1t would be difficult to state the case In
the same space more inaccurately
The House made no war on the Presi-
ident, but simply replied to an unwar-
ranted reflection he had cast upon it, Its
action was calm and disnitied and DELHI

action at all it failed completely. AS for
retiring from the field, the House held
