LINCOLN AND THE SOUTH.

Time is the great appraiser. To
read how business was suspend
ed in New Orleans in honor of Lin
colin birthday is to realize the truth
of this. Fifty years ago, at this time,
the states of the south were seeding,
in fear of this very Lincoln. After
his election as president, and without
waiting to see what his administra-
tion would be, they left or tried to
leave the Union, and 30 years ago this
month Jefferson Davis was chosen
provisional president of the new con-
federacy. And now, in 1911, New
Orleans business men decide to close
their stores and offices in honor of the
man then despised and feared
Even before the close of the civil
war the south reached truer opinion
of a braham Lincoln than that which
it held in 1861. His death was
recognized as a great calamity to the
south. More and more since then,
his goodness and greatness have been
praised by the section which once re-
belled against him. Now it can be
said that whatever civil war animosi
ties still exist, hatred of Abraham
