THOUGH DEAD HE
YET SPEAKETH

a foreigner of culture was once en-
gagged in argument with an American
. over the merits of their separate coun-
tries. As a climax to his argument the
foreigner exclaimed:
"Ah, but you have no traditions in
America
POSSIBLY not" replied the American,
''but, thank God, We have our memo
ries."
Not the least great of these memories
is that of the great emancipation"
Abraham Lincoln. Time may change
the destinies of empires; cities may de-
cay and be forgotten, but Lincoln's
name and fame will be told with rever-
ent voice to generation after generation
that shall come after us. The very
names of Hartman, the financial wiz
gard of the century; J. P. Morgan, the
manipulation of men; scores of leaders
of men who have written their names
in the hall of fame through the big
deeds they have wrought. will be at
last forgotten, but Lincolns memory
will live on 1t is not hard to find
the reason why this will be so. 1t is
because the life of that great American
from the earliest years of young man
hood to the moment of his tragic death
was filled with love for his fellow men
and a deep. passionate yeaming to make
this better place for men to live
Particularly did his heart 90 out to the
suffering, the disappointed, the friend
less. He believed in opportunity, in
equality. That the right of honest toll
and just recompense, the right of every
man to a chance in this world, was God
given and should never be taken away.
The more one reads his utterances and
studies his life the more are these facts
apparent
While still very young man he
made a trip to New Orleans and there,
for the first time, saw the slave market
with all its horrors. He saw husbands
and fathers torn from the arms of wives
and children. He saw the whipping post
and heard the sting of the lash as it
cut into the bare backs of the negroes.
1t is said Of him that he turned to a
companion and said:
John, if / ever get a chance to hit
that institution, ! will hit it hard'
Could he see today the evils of the
sweatshoPs. Of child slavery, and other
damnable features of our Industrial
system, he would again cry out;
If ! ever get a chance to hit that
institution, ! will hit it hard"
The keynote Of his character was
sounded in the early years of his po-
htiHal career when he said;
81 was born mi shall ever remain
in the humble walks Of life. Every

required TO take part in field service under
the same conditions. the department does
not consider that the hiring of groons is
a necessary item OF expense.
