 strona Sense of Justice.
 He lived in days that were great and terrible. when brother fought against brother for what each sincere ly deemed to be the right In a con test so grim the strong men who alone can carry 1t through are rarely able to do justice to the deep convictions of those with whom they grapple m mortal strife At such times men see through a glass darkly; to only the rarest and loftiest spirits is youcn- safed that clear vision which gradual ly comes to all, evep to the lesser, as the struggle fades into distance, ana wounds are forgotten, andpeace creeps hack to the hearts that were hurt. But Lincoln was given this supreme vision. He did not hate the man from whom he differed. Weakness was as foreign as wickedness to his strong, gentle nature; but his courage was of a quaI- ity so high that it needed no bolstering of dark passion. He saw clearly that  the same high qualities, the same courage, and willingness for self-sac- rifice. and devotion to the right as II was given them to see the right, De- longed both to the men of the north and to the men of the south. As the years roll by, and as all Of us' wherever we dwell, grow to feel an equal pride in the valor and self-de- votion, alike of the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray, so this whole nation will grow to feel peculiar sense of pride m the mightiest of the mighty men who mastered the mighty days; the lover of his country and of all mankind; the man whose blood was shed for the union of his people and for the free dom of race, Abraham Lincoln"

many social and industrial problems, requiring to an especial degree the combination of indomitable resolution with coolheaded sanity. We can profit by the way in which Lincoln used both these traits as he stroye for re- form. We can learn much Of value from the very attacks which following that course brought upon his head, at tacks alike by the extremists of revo- ution and by the extremists of reaction. He never wavered in devotion to his principles, in his love for the union and in his abhorrence of slavery. Tim i'd and lukewarm people were always denouncing him because he was ex- treme; but as matter Of fact ne never went to extremes, he worked step by step: and because of this the extremists hated and denounced him with a fervor which now seems to us fantastic in its deiflcation of the un- real and the impossible. At the very time when one side was holding him up as the apostle of social revolution because he was against slavery. the leading abolitionist denounced him as the slave hound of Illinois, When he was the second time candidate for president, the majority of his oppo- nents attacked him because of what they termed lis extreme radicalism. while a minority threatened to bolt his nomination because he was not radical enough. He had continually to check those who wished to go forward too fast. at the very time that he over rode the opposition of those who wished not to go forward at all. The goal was never dim before his vision; but he picked his way cautiously, with out either halt or hurry, as he strode toward it, through such morass Of difficulty that no man of less courage would have attempted it, while 1t would surely have overwhelmed any man of judgment less serene.

 "Yet perhaps the most wonderful thing of all, and. from the standpoint of the American of today and of the future the most vitally important, was the extraordinary way Tn Which Lln- coin could fight valiantly against what he deemed wrong and yet preserve un' diminished his love and respect for the brother from whom he differed. In the hour of triumph that would have turned any weaker mans head, in the heat of struggle which spurred many a good man to dreadful vim dictiveness, he said truthfully that so long as he had been in his office he had never willingly planted thorn in any mans bosom, and besought his supporters to study the incidents of the tral through which they were passing as philosophy from which to learn wisdom and not as wrongs to be avenged: ending with the solemn exhortation that. as the strife was

Anti-Japanese Measure Suppressed Only After Many Hours of Heated Debate on Floor of the house-The President Sends sCongratuiatory Tele- arams-Take Census of Japanese.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 12.-Yielding to the pressure brought to bear by President Roosevelt and Gov Gillett, the California assembly retired from its previous position on the anti-Jap- anese matters "Wednesday by recon sidering the former vote on the segre- gation of Japanese students in the public schools and finally rejecting the measure by vote of Al to 37. An effort by the supporters of the bill further to reconsider was lost by tie vote and the assembly is now clear of any anti-Japanese measure oDJect' ed to by the national administration.
 The fight for the suppression of the bill was won only after many hours of heated debate on the floor. The struggle started at 10:30 o'clock in the morning, on the presentation oi resolution by Assemblyman J. r. Transue, of Los Angeles, affirming the right of the state to govern it's schools. but withdrawing the Japan, csc segregation measure because oi the presidents objection to 1t, and

 The school bill is still to be consid' cred in the senate, having been pre- sented there by Senator A. Caminetti but there is little chance that the measure will be approved when brought up.
 Gov. Gillett said Wednesday night that the next matter to be taken up by the assembly would be the pro posed appropriation of $10,000 for the compiling of a census of Japanese in California. He said that if from the data so gathered 1t were found neces' sary to do so, congress would be urged to enact an Asiatic exclusion measure.
