Theodore Roosevelt is fond of as
serting his own resemblance to Abra-
ham Lincoln and Of quoting from the
words of the martyred president In
support of the radical Rooseveltian
theories.
But Robert T. Lincoln. in q letter to
Chairman Hilles Of the Republican ma
tional committee, points out that Mr..
Roosevelt has deliberately altered"
the words Of Lincoln and has found
ed arguments upon the misquotation.
The letter Is . complete expose Of
Mr. Roosevelt's method OF seeking
votes. II shows that Abraham Lin
coin had nothing In common with
Roosevelt, and that the latter. In at
tempting to juggle with the name OF
the martyred president, Is imposing
upon the American people.
Mr.. Roosevelt has never yet ex-
planned why he deliberately altered
the words OF President Lincoln to suit
his own purposes. nor has he apollo
gized for his Misrepresentation. On
the contrary. he has ignored the grave
charges contained in Mr.. Lincoln's let
ter, which is as follows:
Manchester. Vermont, April 27. 1919.
My Dear Mr.. Hilles: You ask what
I think Of the repeated assertions by
Mr.. Roosevelt, that his attitude on
certain radical doctrines is supported
by the recorded views Of my father.
The proper answer to your inquiry
cannot be made In few words. The
government under which my father
lived was. as II IL now, q republic, or
representative democracy. checked by
the Constitution, which can be
changed by the people. but only when
acting by methods which compel delib-
Grafton and exclude SO far as is pos
sible the effect of passionate and
short-sighted impulse. A government
in which the checks Of an established
Constitution are actually. or practical
ly. omitted-one in which the people
act In q mass directly on all questions
and not through their chosen repre-
sentatives-is an unchecked democ-
racy, q form of government 90 full Of
danger, as shown by history, that 1t
has ceased to exist except In communi
ties small and conceptrated as to
space. A New England town meet.
ing may be good. but such government
in . large city. or state. would be
chaos.
As I understand It, the essence Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's proposals Is that We
shall adopt the latter form of govern
ment In place of the existing form.
This, in simple words, is a proposed
revolution. peaceful perhaps. but .
revolution. In support Of these revo-
lutionary doctrines, which. II success
ful. would abolish the form and the
spirit of our existing government, and
surely, I think. lead to attempted die
tatorships, resort Is had to what 10
claimed to be the words and teachings
Of President Lincoln. It must be asr
sumed that, though he has been dead
nearly fifty years. his influence II still
felt ~ being that of q wise and pa
triotic citizen. II that II true. We are
all interested In having his opinions
and sayings truthfully stated. and my
interest II naturally peculiar.

pernicious project for the recall by

roneous decision, but his chief point
In reference to II was not its error,
but that 1t indicated a scheme. and

ton of human slavery. He never sug-

been part owner of mine. In an effort to
qualify him as an expert witness Rice
asked him about various kinds of ore and
his ability TO discern between A producing

questions as 10 ore were answered easily,
Rickard admitted that the assay after all
was the only reliable test as TO the value

Rice. and he made the witness tell of ne

IN behalf OF John d. Ryan. president Of
the Amalgamated Copper Company, with
an offer of 81 a share for a majority Of Ely
2 Central stock At that time the stock was
selling al more than 81 a share, bat early
in November dropped 20 below 81 a share.
The negotiations led to nothing, but the
Testimony was intended TO show that other

was permitted To go lie said he would
