Roosevelt's Estim ate of Lincoln as
1naeidnp$

AS man who has occupied the office
of president realizes the increditabie
amount of administrative work with
which the president has to deal even in
time of peace. He is of necessity a
from whose mind there can never be
absent for many minutes at time the
consideration of some problem of i'm
portance, or of some matter of less i'm
portance which vet causes worry and
strain. Under such circumstances, 1t
is not easy for a president even In
times of peace to turn from the affairs
that are of moment to all the people
and consider affairs that are of NOM
ent to but one person. While this is
true of times of peace, it is of course
infinitely more true of times of war.
No president who has ever sat in the
white house has borne the burden
that Lincoln bore, or been under the
ceaseless strain which he endured. 1t
did not let up by day or night. Ever
he had to consider problems of the
widest importance, ever to run risks
of the greatest magnitude, and ever
thru and across his plans to meet these
ties was shot the wool of an infinite
number of small worries and small an
noyances. He worked out his great
task while increasingly beset by the
need of attending the best he could to
multitude of small risks. 1t is a
touching thing that the great leader,
while thus driven and absorbed, could
yet co often turn aside for the moment
to do some deed of personal kindness;
and 1t is fortunate thing for the nation
that in addition to doing so well each
deed, great or small he possessed that
marvellous gift of expression which en-
abled him quite unconsciously to
choose the very words best fit to COM
memorate each deed His Gettysburg
speech and his second inaugural are
two of the half dozen greatest speeches
ever made-I am tempted to call them
the two greatest ever made. They are
great in their wisdom, and dignity, and
earnestness, and In loftlness of
thought and expression which makes
them akin to the utterances of the
prophets of the old estament.-From
president Roosevelt's Tribute to Lin
coln," in the American Review of Re-
views for February.

AS a general thing, contributors con-
tribute and editors edit. It's a livi-
sion of labor that arranged itself p
long time ago, and on the whole it has
worked pretty well. There are excep-
tions to all rules, however, or nearly
all; and Contributing Editor Theodore
Roosevelt is an exception to this one
It's in the contract that his contributed
editorials are to appear in the out
look" just as he writes them-if they
appear at all.
The subject of his contributed editor
ial this week is Tolstoy. He recog-
nizes in Tolstoy a man of genius, a
great novelist; he pronounces War and
Peace" Anna Karenina," THE Cas-
sacks" and "Sebastopol" great books.
He discerns lofty side of Tolstoy's
ethical and philosophical teachings
foolish. muddled and immoral as they
are on the other side. He can under
stand their seeming fine to men of the
closet and the library. But I have
no question" he says, that whatever
little influence Tolstoy has exerted
among men of action has told, on the
whole, for evil: do not think his in
f1uence over men of action has been
great. for think he has swayed or
dominated only the feeble folk and the
fantastic folk" We notice that the
contributing editor has not forgotten
Tolstoys pro-Bryan letter of last year.
He calls it one of the Comic features"
Of the political campaign.
There's another article about Tolstoy
in this weeks Outlook It's from
the pen Of the "Outlook's" editor, DR..
Lyman Abbott. He says at starting
that 1t is not his purpose to confirm or
to criticise the contributing EDITORS

its defects and incongruities. Il was

to have taken them up with no previous

Abbott's intellectual life, he tells us,
and in his later religious teaching.

as high as Contributing Editor Roose-

The biography Of Dean Hook recalls
a certain minor canon who used to
preach at the cathedral when Hook
was a boy at Winchester school. In
one Of his sermons there occurred the
striking reflection that what Is i'm
possible can never be, and very sell
dom comes to pass"
Another discourse was long remem-
bered for its pathetic lamentation on
the degeneracy of the age: 20 tenn
pora! o mores! What times we live
in! Little boys and girls run about
the streets cursing and swearing be-
fore they can either walk or TALK"
But the Church of England has no
of these violent contrasts,
for it was at a City Temple meeting
not many years ago that speaker ex-
claimed: Il find my time is already
gone. Therefore will keep within it."

The BANKERS HECTIC FLUSH.


Wall street reporters have flashed
the story over the news wires Of the
country that optimism has seized Wall
street, stocks are booming, call money
loans at per cent. western banks are
carrying large balances.
Here is the old, old story again. Just
as soon as money gets little bit easy
in the west and middle west, country
banks begin to pile up large balances
in their reserve cities because the big
banks of the reserve cities pay inter-
est and then the middle western re-
serve cities pile up bigger balances in
New York City banks because they
can get interest on such deposits. Then
the big spectators, who control the
New York banks, go TO gambling with
the reserve monies of the country left
in their care as trustees. This thing
will continue for a few months when
all at once the rightful owners of these
reserves will call for their property
and then it will be announced that
money is tight in New York. Call
money will go to 10 or 80 per cent. The
bottom will drop out of stocks but in
sthe meantime millions of savings will
have been invested in them by the dear
public which had been drawn into the
vortex of speculation and rising
prices produced by the big spectators
while in possession of the easy money
of the country.
When will we grow a race of finan-
ciers who will have intelligence and
patriotism enough TO stop this sort of
thing? When will the banking frater-
nifty learn TO keep their reserves closer
to home? Money in the country to fav-
ored customers earns per cent today
while the same money left in Chicago
and re-deposited in New York is
ID to spectators al 2 per cent In
reserve bank it earns only . per cent
Two dollars out Of every three could
be locked up in safety deposit b TX
at home and the third dollar loaned
out at 6 per cent interest without any
injury to gross earnings If bank money
were all in actual currency instead of
balances. However, the principle is APP
parent. If country banks would do as
country merchants, manufacturers and
Jobbers Go, go out and hunt market
for their goods at paying prices, there
would be no occasion for reserves pill
tng up in New York with which 70
give hectic flush 10 the face of pros
perity.

HOW HELEN ACTED.


When Miss Helen Taft unveiled the
Gettysburg monument last Monday,
the press dispatches say she Conduct
ed herself with quiet dignity and
possession than won the admira-
ton of all" Good. We were greatly
worried about Helen and glad to know
that it is all over and that she didn't
get ratified or cut up any didoes.
Wouldn't it have been just awful if
she had acted norrid? 1t would have
been just scandalous if she had cflewed
gum all thru the exercises, or firted
with the young men on the outskirts
of the crowd. She might have forgot
ten herself entirely and turned a few
handsprings or sat straddle of a chair.
But she didn't. She was real quiet
and digniied and the country is saved
again.

tory that others Of similar charac-
ter and even larger size, will be
built on the Hartman line running
down the west coast of Mexico to
Guadalajara. In addition to the water
tank, Mr.. Leonardt has completed two
large concrete smokestacks IN the
same district. One of these is $50 feet
high and eight feet in diameter.
In addition to the work just COM
pleted for the new railroad, the Los
Angeles contractor will build the
bridges over the larger rivers which
must be crossed in Mexico. These are
to be REINFORCED concrete. The largest
will be over the Yaqui river, and will
be 1926 feet long, with 16 spans of
about 70 feet each.
Other bridges will be over the Sina.

Preside rivers. These bridges are to
be among the most substantial of
their kind ever constructed.-Los An.

Deer jump. Over Train.

A badly frightened full grown buck
deer, closely parsued by dogs, leaped
over Lehigh Valley railroad freight
train in the mountains near Hickory
Run, Pa, 35 miles from here, and es-
capped by swimming across the Lehigh
river.
Pursued by the dogs. 1t dashed
down the steep mountain toward the
river, and came upon the freight train
in deep rock cut by the side of the
river. One side of the cut is several
feet higher than the freight train was,
and the other side is along the banks
of the river and on the level of the
tracks.
The deer, which the trainmen saw
coming down the mountain, took the
leap over the train without stopping
in its headlong fight, and fell In a
heap on the river bank. 1t was up
quickly, however, dashed into the riv.
er and swan across, while the dogs
were stopped by the freight train, and
the deer was out Of sight when it had
passed.

wooden and steel tanks for railroad

The new tank is built entirely Of

novel features of the tank lies in the
fact that it is not elevated on high
