to numerous roll calls, Lincoln spent his
fortieth birthday. When his service as

later when the roll of the immortals
was called in the congress of those whose

Mr. Boutell said that as February II

The memorial exercises were presided
over by Commander Charles S. Wilder of

the soldier and sailor. His reference to
the American fighting men in his immortal

and John ]. Strain. who served on sea
and land, respectively, in the war with

If Lincoln, Could Come Backl
To the Editor of The Star:
If Lincoln could return to earth he
would hardly recognize himself in the
laudations Of his centennial anniversary!
What is said now is so different from
what he had said in life that I imagine
he would question his own identity in the
presence of all this praise. From child
hood on he was the least appreciated-the
least praised man Of his century-the con-
slant target Of such abuse, misrepresen-
tation and downright malicious calumnia-
ton at the hands Of his countrymen as
no American before or after him ever eX-
perienced.
AS Isaiah said of Him to whom we most
liken Lincoln Ghis lifelong. persistent
persecution has no other parallel in his
tory. he was ''despised. rejected. slain -
Come to His own and His own received
Him not'-'A man Of sorrows and ac-
qainted with grief There is no epithet
in all the black and filthy lexicon of the
slums that was not hurled at him by his
countrymen. Rejected by the only woman
he ever loved; rejected by the constitu-
ency that once had elected him to Con-
gresS; turned down by President Taylor
when he sought the appointment here of
land commissioner: told to his face by
Stanton he was no lawyer late In life. and
relegated by Stanton'S naughty diSdain
and contempt to a subordinate place on
the trial Of the Mccormick reaper case
in the Cincinnati federal court; over
whemingly defeated by his own Illinois
after the famous debate with Douglas:
nominated at last for President by a
ousy of the great candidates, Seward and
Chase, to spite the other only: then
elected by large minority Of the Amer
lean electorate, and reelected by a still
gre alter minority in 1S64-both times far
more than half the votes of the whole
country opposed to him-and the people
vilifying him continually in pulpit. press
and forum, with wicked malice such as
never was the fate of any other man.
Too well do we who heard 1t all remem-
Der 1t today.
All the democrats. all the Confederates
and large numbers of protested republi-
cans sought his defeat and humiliation
six months before his death The press
reeked with caricatVre and vilifcation
in Europe and America from the moment
of his nomination in 1860 down to the
very hour when Booths pistol rang down
the curtain on libel and calumny, and
rang up the curtain for laudation
amounting almost to divine worship-this
growing in strength and volume every day
since then.
And this caused his death-it was not
Booth alone-Oh no! A thousand times
no-any more than it was Booths pistol
alone that ended this carnival of Islander
and abuse. 1t was the legitimate, logi-
cal. probable and necessary consequence
of the abuse hurled at him on the false
and malicious misrepresentation of Abra-
ham Lincoln-this alone caused his death

From shore to shore nation keeps
Her martyrs memory.

Still from the humble Nazareths come
The saviors Of the race.

He wrought through trying days

And when the morn OF Peace broke through
The battles cloud and din.
He hailed with JOY the promised land
He might not enter in.

A peoples heart his throne.
