their light as they beheld ii.
The fierce light which beat about
the White House in those days r.
vealed whatever seemed subject to
criticism in the characters of Presi-
dent Lincoln and his wife, and their
foes, many in number and ingenious
In invention, made the most of their
opportunities. Time has cleared
away from the noble brow of Lin
coin the clouds which enveloped it
in war and for short time. very
short time, after the close Of the
war.
Not so with Mrs Lincoln II has
remained for our day and generation
to accord justice to this woman, So
much censured. Historians who
have followed the lead of prejudiced
members of their calling have de-
picted her in an ENJOYABLE light, but
a fairer estimate of her life and the
place which she filled at the side Of
her president husband is succeeding
TO the colored observations of her
foes. Persons who knew her are
coming forward with testimonials
to. her .entire devotion to her hus-
band and to her share in his work
for the Union Their opinions of
Mrs. Lincoln are crystallizing in the
fund which is being raised
to erect a national Mary Todd Lin

the advocacy Of government owned

Hitchcock literally made the country
gasp~ Twenty years ago, when the

favoring all three OF these. their
position was considered ultra radi-
cal. Yet today we have one of them
In actual operation, second urged
by the administration and the third
favored BY the head of the postoffice
department. Truly we move fast.
Not that government ownership
of tclegraphs is new departure. 1t
Is already established in most OF the
nations Of Europe and indeed in
most Of the nations of the world Ii
was also advocated by Postmaster
General John Wanamaker more than
twenty years ago. But 1t is a new
departure for us, whose theory OF
government has been that business
enterprises should be left as com.

This has been one of our methods OF
