PRESIDENT LAYS CORNER STONE

tionists denounced him as the slave
hound of Illinois, When he was the
second time candidate for president,
the majority of his opponents at
tackled him because of what they
termed his extreme radicalism. while
a minority threatened to bolt his
nomination because he was not rad
ical enough. He had continually to
check those who wished to go for
ward too fast. at the very time that
he overrode the opposition of those
who wished not to so forward at all.
The goal was never dim before his
vision but he picked his way eau
tiously, without either halt or hurry
us he strobe toward il, through such
Il morass of difficulty that no man
of less courage would have attempted
it, while it would surely have over
whelmed any man of judgment less
serene.
Yet perhaps the most wonderful
thing of all and, from the stand
point of the America today and of the
future, the most vitality important.
was the extraordinary way in which
Lincoln could fight valiantly against
what he deemed wrong and yet pre-

that would have turned any weaker

adversely, and soul wholly un-
spoiled by prosperity. Each pos
sessed all the gentler virtues com
monty exhibited by good men who
lack rugged strength of character.
Each possessed also all the strong
qualities commonly exhibited by
those towering mosters of mankind
who have too often SHOWN themselves
devoid of so much as the understand
ing of the words by which we signify
the qualities of duty. of mercy, of
devotion to the right, of lofty inter
estedness in battling for the good of
others. There have been other men
as great and other men as good: but
in all the history of mankind there
are no other two great men as good
as these, no other two good men as
great.
Widely though the problems of to-
day differ from the problems set for
solution to Washington when he
founded this nation, to Lincoln when
he saved it and freed the slave, yet
the qualities they showed in meeting
these problems are exactly the same
as those we should show in doing our
work today
Lincoln saw into the future with
| the prophetic Imagination usually
vouchsafed only to the poet and the
seer. He had in him all the life to-
I ward greatness of the visionary
without any of the visionary's fanat-
icism or egotism. without any of the
visionary's narrow jealousy of the
practical man and inability to strive
in practical fashion for the realiZa-
tion of an ideal. He had the prac-
tical mans hard common sense and
Willingness to adapt means to ends;
but there was in him none of that
morbid growth of mind and soul
which blinds so many practical men
to the higher things of life. No
more practical man ever lived than
this homely backwoods idealist: but
he had nothing in common with those
practical men whose consciences are
warped until they fail to distinguish
between good and evil. fail to un-
derstand that strength. ability,
shrewdness, whether in the world
of business or of politics, only serve
to make their possessor a more noX-
ious, more evil member of the COM
munity. If they are not guided and
controlled by a fine and high moral
sense.
We of this day must try to solve
many social and Industrial problems,
requiring to an especial degree the
com DlndllOn OF lnuOmliaDle reSolu-
tion with cool-headed sanity. We
can profit by the way in which Lin
coin used both these traits as he
stroye for reform. We can learn much
of value from the very attacks which
following that course brought upon
his head, attacks alike by the ex-
tremists of revolution and by the

In a peculiar manner one of the
large plate glass windows of the Mesa
Dry Good store was broken this
morning. Three dogs got into a
serious miXup in the street in front
of the store and two of them. one
chasing the other. started at ter
rifle rate toward the store and with
awful force one of the dogs came in
contact with the lower part of the
heavy window and the big pane war
cracked in a dozen places. The dog
was daZed but was soon able to
move off at a rapid rate down the
street. The window will have to be
replaced although none of the glass
fell out.

Something of the uncouthness so

clean main street, and this. as well
as every residence and farm house

The cabin is located miles from
the depot.
Five special trains from Louis
