HAD LIVED.

In his always interesting survey Of
world progress in the current Review
of Reviews DR.. Albert Shaw raises the
interesting question as to what would
have happened had Lincoln lived.
Would Lincoln have been able to
accomplish in his second term, com
PEELED as he would have been to Crap
pie with the intricate problems of re-
construction and to steer between
sharply divided factions of his own
party, results in any way comparable
with the great achievements OF his
four years in the White House?
Had Lincoln lived, would he have
escaped the shoals upon which the po-
litical craft Of his successor. Andrew
Johnson, went to shipwreck?
Had Lincoln lived, would his char
acter have stood out in such towering
contrast to those around him, and
would his memory have been revered.
as it is now, with its crown of martyr
dom?
1t is suggested by DR.. Shaw that
while Lincoln's death was a great
calamity. 1t has doubtless helped to
give that peculiar touch of dignity,
pathos and heroism" to the accepted
figure of Abraham Lincoln that 80
tragic an ending of a great career at
its moment of climax must have be-
slowed. 'If he had fought congress
through four bitter years on its re-
construction policy" he continues,
land then lived on afterward as an ex-
president, the historical portrait would
have lacked something of the bold,
statuesque outlines that it now pos
sesses."
1t is well known that Lincoln, him
self, had something of the fatalist In
his makeup, and while his untimely
ending was entirely unexpected, II
could not have taken him at any other
moment and left his part Of the work
practically at completion. He would
have seen in the tragedy evidence OF
the hand of destiny concluding the ca
reer of the great captain at the very
moment that the men warning to de-
stroy the union were laying down
their arms.
The verdict of history is that Lin
coins. greatness was full reached and
that, had he lived, he could not have
added to it, but might have postponed
the day of it's full realization.

THE BUILDING REVIVAL.

One of the most r~eassuring proofs
that business conditions and conf
dence are being restored to normal
throughout the country is found in the
report Just issued by the Construction
News of the building operations in
forty-three American cities for the
month of January compared with sim
liar operations in the same cities for
January of last year. These figures
show that permits were issued in these
forty-three cities in January for 6,S95
buildings, involving a total estimated
cost Of $36,592,845, compared with
5,555 permits issued in January, 1908,
for buildings estimated to cost ST.
2,643, a gain of 104 per cent in the
construction investment.
The exhibit is specially significant
In showing that the improvement in
conditions is general, the statistics be-
ing taken from cities in all parts of
the country. Decreases are shown in
but five cities, Cincinnati, Portland,
ACAAO AAouNOb OdNOhPOAb anu ldNOLlog
and these are explained by the fact
that permits for large public build
ings, involving an unusual expenditure
of money, were taken out in those
cities in January of last year. Chicago
leads among the larger cities with an
increase of 22O per cent. New York
shows an increase Of 112 per cent.
Omaha's increase is placed at AZ per
cent and the gain all along the line
runs from % per cent up.
The Omaha showing is particularly
satisfactory, as this city's record for
January of last year was better than
the average and the increase of AZ per
cent is equal to that of double gain
in some of the other cities. The en-
tire showing is highly gratifying, as
the business confidence necessary to
the investment of big money in build
ings is of the lasting kind.

THE FLEET At GIBRALTAR.

Nearly all the vessels of the Ameri-
can fleet have assembled at Gibraltar,
ready for the long dash home, where
their arrival is expected about the end
of February. The feet has been fit
tingly welcomed by the British COM
mander at Gibraltar and it's condition
is reported to be a cause of marvel
and admiration by the foreign naval
authorities.
Having accomplished the greater
part of a round-the-world voyage-a
feat never before achieved by the bat
tleships of any power-the feet after
months of travel in all kinds of seas
and in all kinds Of weather, reports at
Gibraltar ready to go into a fight at a
minutes notice. The ships have not
been injured in the least by their long
and trying voyage. The health and
spirits of officers and men are reported
splendidly good, and the nation will
have Its prestige increased by the
demonstration that its navy is ready
to do active service in any part of the
world.
The sea strength of the United
States is no longer a questionable
quantity and the nations of the world
have been impressed with that fact.
The moral effect of the journey of the
feet will remain long after the vessels
are safe in the home harbors.

4 e DUCK N N

The dinner given by Vice President
Fairbanks to the members of the In
diana delegation in congress who fell
by the wayside at the last election was
something of a novelty and somewhat
significant in that the guests num-
bered nearly all of the present house
membership from the Hoosier state.
A more startling and complete reversal
of form in a single campaign is seldom
recorded than that shown by Indiana
in the last election. Congressman
Lands, Overstreet. Watson, Foster,
CLANCY, Holiday and Gilhams were
among those who fell outside the
breastworks, along with Senator Hem
enway. Congressman Watson, who
was whip of the house, was not a can
didate for reelection, but was de-
feated as the republican candidate for
governor. Judge Crumpacker was
the only n of the old guard to sur
vive the slaughter at the polls and he
was appropriately selected as toast
master at the Dead Duck" dinner.
From a party standpoint the dinner
was important, as the guests displayed
a determination TO get together, to
bury faetional differences that have ex-
listed in the ranks and to seek to re-
cover Indiana to the republicans. The
defeat of the congressman and the loss
of the state was not an unnatural re-
suit of conditions existing within the
party, One of the strong factions OF
the party was not in full harmony
with President Roosevelt nor with the
national ticket during the campaign

lis newspaper bolted the nomination

republican ticket. Some of the con

SPoILs LEGISLATION VETOED,

President Roosevelt's veto of the
bill for the 1910 census, because of
the clause exempting the census force
from competitive examinations for ap-
pointment, is in entire keeping with
his attitude toward the civil service
and his policy of making merit a test
for the clerical employment of the fed
eral government. 1t is also in line
with the recommendations of the CEN
sus bureau officials, whose experience
has taught them that the spoils sys-
tenn of appointing census clerks results
in inefficient service and increased ex-
pense.
The vetoed bill was passed by the
senate and the house only after long
and exhaustive debate. Census bureau
officials and civil service reform advo-
Gates presented what should have been
convincing figures to show that the
service would suffer making the clerks
and enumerators political spoils.
These arguments were futile, however,
in face of the proposition advanced by
the house committee, which arranged
for a distribution Of the census pa
tronage so that all members of con-
gress should share in it, republicans
and democrats alike. Under the
terms of the bill each member of con-
gress is given the selection of about
twenty clerks or other census en-
ployes whose mt are to be certified
to the director of the census for ap-
pointment. The director is practically
without occurs in the premises and
the plan would result in the appoint
ment of the entire census force, except
the permanent employees of the bureau,
without reference to their qualifica-
tions for the work. 1t plans a return
to the spoils system, pure and simple,
and Is particularly attractive to mem
bers of congress whose patronage has
been for years greatly curtailed by
the operation of the civil service.
The presidents veto message makes
the point plain that the proposed plan
calls for a prodigous waste of the peo-
pies money in a task of such great
Importance; that it demands intelli-
gent workmen, and these can be surely
had only by competitive examination.
The eleventh and twelfth censuses
were taken under a law excluding
competition in the making of appoint
ments and the entire testimony of the
officials Of the bureau is that the con-
sequence was extravaganza and demon
alization. President Roosevelt has
vetoed but few acts OF ongres
and this census bill is one OF the most
important of the measures from which
he has withheld his approval.

opinion OF the court, Justice Holmes
declaring that the party buying from
an Illegal trust, knowing It to be such,
f%orfeits the right to set up such a de-
tense.
Conceivably this decision might
paralyze business, as it offers an invi-
tation to purchase goods of an illegal
trust and then refuse to pay for them
on the ground that the courts can not
be used to collect the debts of a COM
pany operating in the restraint OF
trade. Carried to the extreme, 1t
would place the big corporations un-
der penalty Of FORGETTING their rights
to collect their debts by the slightest
violation of the antitrust laws. The
majority of the supreme court evil
IDENTIFY holds that it has no option in
the matter, whatever the results of its
decision may be in actual business
practice. The court does not concern
Itself with the reasonableness of the
Sherman law, and combinations VIC
lative Of its provisions have no stand
ing in court, however honest may be
the particular transaction in question.
The decision furnishes new argument
in support Of President Roosevelt's
position and conflicts with the opinion
of the senate judiciary committee that
the Sherman law needs no amendment
whatever.

FAME.
Death Came at the High Tide of His
LRbors.

Rev. T. L. Cuyler in Homiletic Review.
Terrible as was the tragedy of that April
night, It is still true that Lincoln may
have died at the right time for his i'm
perishable fame. He had conducted an i'm
mense nation through the most tremendous
civil war ever waged and never committed
a single serious mistake. He did not pos
sess Hamilton's brilliant genius, but Ham
ilton never saw the future more saga
ciously. He made no pretensions to Dan
lei Webster's magnetic oratory, but Web
ster never put more truth in oratorical
form for popular guidance. He possessed
Benjamin Franklin's immense common
sense, and that twenty-five address on the
battlefield of Gettysburg is the high water
mark of American sententious eloquence.
1t is fitting that after such a career his
own life should be the last to be lost in
that stupendous struggle. He had called
over 10000 heroes to lay down their lives
and then his own life was laid down beside
the humblest private soldier or drummer
boy of Gettysburg or ~Chickamauga.
