LINCOLN QUOTED AS A SOCIALIST.

A copy of the Social-Denocratic
Herald Mas been called to the attention
of the T.-R. in which extracts from
Abraham Lincoln's public addresses
are quoted in support of socialistic
theories For instance Lincoln is
quoted as saying at one time:
"And inasmuch as most things are
produced by labor, it follows that all
such things of right belong to those
whose labor has produced them. But
it has so happened, in all ages of the
world, that some have labored, and
others have without labor enjoyed a
large proportion of the fruits. This is
wrong and should not continue. To
secure to each laborer the whole pro-
duct of his labor, or as nearly as pos
sible, is worthy object of any gov
eminent"
Why any socialist should ever quote

responsibility for government and the
responsibility for Improvement in a
people as I have. That was a RESPONSE
bility in respect to race that Is now
in a state Of christian tutelage and
must be uplifted, in my judgment, thru
us and our guidance. before we shall
have discharged the obligation that
Providence has thrust upon us. And in
the study Of the development It has
made known to me the enormous influ-
ence that the church must exercise in
order to make our progress there eff
fective. The Roman Catholic church
was there for years, and preserved that
state of christian tutelage to which o.
have referred Now the ban has been
removed from other denominations, and
they are all in there on an equality IN
the spirit of christian emulation. With.
out the moral influence Of the churches
there we could not accomplish any
thing
1T is difficult sometimes to explain
to one who has been used to the close
union Of church and state, such as was
preserved in Spain, such as is pre-
served in some other countries, the real
attitude of the American government
toward the church He assumes that
il we separate the church from the
state 1t means that the state does not
favor the church. I had the honor to
represent this country in a transaction
Of a business character with Leo KILL
at the vatican, and there pointed out
to him, with all the emphasis possible
that the separation OF church and state
was in the interest Of the church. and
that in America he could count on the
sustaining of the rights OF the church
and its encouragement by every legit-
innate means on the part Of the people,
without it's assuming any governme entail
function or having any governmental
right, such as 1t has in other countries.
It comes over me every once IN q while
when I am charged with accomplis
ing something among people, how abb
solutely essential 1t is that we should
have the influence Of the church be-
hind everything that we do"

a doctrine Of that kind in support of
socialist principles is mystery to the
average reader. Lincoln in those days
was arguing against the enforced Ia
man. his master, but he enunciated the
doctrine of individualismE of private
ownership in the above language IL
ever any man could state 1t. lie de-
clared for the principle that every man
should have and possess all or as near
ly all as is possible of that which ne
produces. This is the system of econo-
mics which has caused men TO blaze
thru wilderness of forests and trek
across limitless prairies making homes
out of the wilds and working with an
unceasing toll until we have become a
borer the whole product of his labor
is still the object of good government
and while it can be admitted that We
have not yet achieved perfection. ev-
cry step we take is directed toward
that end Society is headed that way.
Again the Social-Democratic Herald
quotes Lincoln as saying:
Labor is prior TO and Independent
of capital Capital Is only the fruit of
labor, and could never have existed
it labor had not first existed Labor Is
superior to capital, and deserves much
higher consideration, A few men own
capital and that few avoid labor them
selves. and with their capital hire or
buy another few to labor for them"
This has less of individualism upon
it's face but when the origin of the
man who said 1t is known II is easy
10 see what he was thinking about.
Equal rights to all and special priv-
leges to none was what he had in mind.
He was right In saying that labor
is the fruit of labor. All economists
agree upon that In the infancy Of the
race we had nothing in the way OF
capital When man with his bare hands
made n hunting club out of a stick
and stone he created the beginning
of capital which was the fruit of his
labor and so the process was contin-
ued until today we have buildings and
machinery and tools for capital, all Gre
ated by labor.
Lincoln. too. could be better under
stood in his remark about capitalists
avoiding labor by hiring or buying IT
we would, set the remark in a frame
of the times in which 1t was said. Lin
coin was the railsplitter, reared in the
forest, pioneer where the actual la
Dor of making things was performed
by everyone. What the political econo-
mist has recognized as the director OF
labor, captain of industry, was unfam-
liar to Lincoln until he came to seek
a captain who would put down the re-
bellion and then he placed upon Grant,
who neither shot with a gun nor
slashed with sword but fought with
his head, a value which Mas questioned
by almost all the advisors about his
administration. 1t is true as Lincoln
says that mo men living are more
worthy to be trusted than those who
toll up from poverty" They are the
self-made men whom the world adj
mires today but they are not the the
orists who would lean on society and
insist upon dining at the common table
Of common ownership of the fruits of
labor self-made men like Lincoln and
careers such as his are poor pictures
to flash in the interest of socialism.

Live a. Jesus Would.

The movement begun last SUNDAY
by 1900 young people of Cleveland TO
live for two weeks as Jesus would has
assumed a scope far beyond the ex-
pectations Of its promoters. Fully TO-
600 volunteers have unofficially Joined
the movement by attempting the test
and pledging themselves to walk IN
His steps. Even city officers are TAX
ing an interest and are Illuminating on
what Jesus would do If he were 2
city officer.
Many interesting experiences have
been related by those who have COM
pleted the first weeks test. Some
say they can not carry the practice
into business. Others say they can.
The test also has brought out a host
of critics, some praising. others con-
demning the idea. Church members
are encouraging the trial and plead-
ing for it's continuance. The iscoffers
sarcastically say that the effort inn
plies past hypocrisy.

Need Of Church Influence.

MT. TAFT, IN speaking before the
Protestant ministers of Augusta, Ga.
recently, emphasized the influence OF
the church upon civilization and its
usefulness in aiding governmental de-
velopment. AS reported by CORE
spondent of the New York Tribune. he
referred to the moral awakening" dur
ing the last four years as an indica-
ton of the healthful state of our civil
ization. The people had demanded a
moral reform. he said, and in this the
clergy must take an important part
In his experiences in the north and
south and in the Philippines, Mr.. Taft
said, he had been able to study many
different phases of civilization, espec-
tally in the matter of church influence.
He continued:
Leaving out the sectional distinc-
tons, the indispensable presence of
church influence in the improvement in
our civilization, no one can be blind to
who has shared in the slightest the

The Hampton Recorder is convinced
that "the tendency of the day is 10
make the government beaucratic and
get it as far away from the people as
possible Every congress creates new
bureaus and new commissions to per-
form duties that ought to be dis
charged by officials elected directly by
vote of the people. The civil service
movement has increased this govern
ment by bureaus, and the power
formerly reposed in senators and rep
resentatives is now vested in chiefs of
departments and bureaus at Washing
ton who hold their places by OPP
pointment and are responsible to no
one. The more bureaus and commits

restriction. The old soldiers, who have
as much interest In preserving the sa-

who fathered the bill, are not asking
such legislation; in fact, nine-tenths of
them are against it. There are many
