THE PATIENT, THOUGHTFUL, CALMLY
SERENE LEADER OF THE PEOPLE.

From Ambassador Byces introduction the and Duon
edition of Abraham Iincoln's Speeches and Letters
What is great man? Common Speech which
after all must be our guide to the sense of the terms
which the world uses gives this name to many sorts
of men. How far greatness lies in the power and
range of the intellect how far in the strength of the
will, how far in elevation of view and aim and pur
pose, this is question too large to be debated here
But of Abraham Lincoln it may be truly said that in
his greatness all three elements we're present He
had not the brance, either in thought or word or
act, that dazzles the restless activity that
Sionally pushes to the front persons with gifts
not of the first order. He was patient thoughtful
melancholy man, whose intelligence, working some
times slowly but always steadily and surely,
pacous enough to embrace and vigorous enough to
master the incomparaby difficult facts and problems
he was called to deal with. His executive talent show
ed itself not in sudden and startling strokes but in
the calm serenity with which he formed his judg-
ments and laid his plans in the undismayed hrmness
with which he adhered to them in the face of popu-
lar clamor, Of conflicting counses from his advisers,
sometimes, even of what others deemed all but hope
less failure. These were the qualities needed in one
who had to pilot the republic through the heaviest
storm that had ever broken upon it, But the main
spring of his power and the truest evidence of his
greatness lay in the nobility of his aims, in the fer
of his conviction, in the stainless reCttude which
guided his action and won for him the confidence of
the people Without these things neither the vigor
of his intellect nor the irmness of his will would
have avaed.
There is vulgar saying that all great men
are INSCRIPTIONS. Of him it may rather be said that
I the note of greatness feel in his thinking and
his speech and his conduct had its source in the loft
ness and purity of his character Lincolns is one Of
the careers that refute this imputation on human
nature. JAMES BRYCE.

Hardwick Proposes
Sugar Tariff Plan

Representative Hardwick of Georgia,
chairman of the special House commit
tee which investigated the Sugar trust,
has evolved a scheme whereby the
Democrats can revise the sugar tariff
without serious loss of revenue. AL
though the Ways and Means Committee
has practically completed the sugar bill.
1t has taken under consideration the
Hardwick plan.
Hardwick proposes an internal rev.
enue duty of 40 cents per hundred
pounds for all the sugar consumed in
the United States. This, 1t is estimated
would bring revenue of about thirty
million dollars. He proposes a duty Of
Is cents per hundred additional on sugar
brought in from Cuba. The duty on
refined sugar would be cut from $3.50
to 81 per hundred pounds.
The chairman of the Investigating
committee believes these duties would
eliminate the high protection now en-
toyed by the American sugar industry
and that 1t would bring in revenue
amounting to about $42,0OOO0O.

PRESERVING FOLK SONGS.

There was unique concert in New York few
evenings ago. the feature of which was the render
ing of a number of folk songs handed down from
time immemoral in the country districts of England
but which, owing to the advance of the industrial
system, are rapidly disappearing.
Two men of literary distinction have made it
their business to seek out these songs of the long
ago, which only the very old inhabitants remember,
and they have written them down so that they may
be preserved for all time to come
Many of them as rendered at the New York con-
cert in question had a special charm, racy of the
soil, which even the most untutored could not fail to
appreciate which, in fact, the untuored should be
able to appreciate best of all
The concert has set people to thinking in various

PRINTERS IN FIGHT
TO CONTROL CHIEF
OFFICES OF UNION
Progressives Oppose Re-
election of James M.
Lynch With Vigor.

Washington members of the Inter-
national Typographical Union are
actively participating in the contest
in the union for the control of its
chief administrative Offices. A
Lynch club" has been organized with
Francis Benzler. as it's head. The
chairman of the anti-Lynch forces
is Frank NJ. Hatley. Both sides are
busy holding meetings, recruiting
among the printers of the city and
issuing campaign literature.
The candidacy for reelection OF
James NJ Lynch, president of the
Typographical Union is the storm
center around which the printers of
this and other cities are revolving,
and the contest looks likely to con-
tinue blithely until May Is when II
referendum vote is to be taken by
mail.
The anti-Lynch men. who call them
selves "progressives," met yesterday
afternoon at Typographical Temple, in
response to a call which contained Wig
orous language.
Believe In Rotation.
"It Is to be hoped" said the call for
the meeting, that those members of
Columbia Union who believe in rotation
in office will join with us in making
this meeting such a success as will
make the anti-rotationers in office sit
up and take notice.
I'VE will have no 'higher-up' to ad-
wise us in the conduct of this meeting,
as the real progressives' had. Their
| meeting meant the perpetuatlon of an
Industrial oligarchy; ours Will mean
the disintegration of the same.
The friends of the former met Sun
day before last; those opposed to the
growing menace will meet next Sunday.
IF we agreed with some of the fic-
ton writer's Of the city we would have
no cause for such meeting as this;
we would be of one mind, and the per-
sOnifiCation of goodness. But we want
facts and not fiction. We appreciate
the fact that we are in the throes of a
crisis, which Is growing more men,
acing each succeeding year, preCipltated,
we might say, by those believers In
business methods and fair and honest
DEALINGS 1tIttlg in trades trades unionlsm,' and this
bringing order out Of this chaos"
This call was signed by Frank NJ.
Hatley, chairman; A. c. Knight, secre-
tary, and c. b. Huse, treasurer, of the
! 'prOgressives.'
Meet Again Next Sunday.
Another meeting will be held next
Sunday afternoon at which indorse-
ments will be made of candidates. for
election. The leading candidate against
Mr.. Lynch is a prominent printer OF
Spokane, Wash. named Barker, and il
| Is said that nearly all the "progres-
sives' of the various cities OF the coun-
try will rally round the Barker banner
Meetings were held In many cities OF
the country by both factions yesterday
and more will be held the coming Sun
! day all over the United States. Every
| union printer in Washington Is deeply
| interested in the question, and the Gov.
ernment Printing Office fairly huns
with debate during the noon hour.

Except that Jud Pitcher was a good
boy and not a bandit, Tracks End"
by Hayden Carrhth. is the kind of Il
tale that Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer
would have reveled IN. AS it is. 1t is
q great yarn. a big thriller. though Jud
does seem to have lacked due motive
for inviting all his hairbreadth escapes.
He merely decided to stay at Tracks
Ind in spirit. of spunkiness; appar-
entity but thus left alone in the town
through long Dakota winter, he had
no end of adventures. With timber
wolves. outlaws. and Indians, not to
mention bli2zards and fires. Jud tells
the story himself-with Mr.. Carruth's
assistanca-and a very good story teller
he proves.

GET AT THE FACTS.

A searching inquiry, in justice to all concerned,
should be made into the death of the victim of the
automobile accident who died from what is now al
legged to have been fractured skull, while for hours
he seems to have been regarded as merely drunk
1t is we'll known that in many cases of this kind
material facts in eXtenuation often developed
but the face of the matter as it now stands there
would seem to have been carelessness somewhere,
or at least haste due to oVerwork, which calls for
remedy.
While holding judgment in reserve, let us have
all the facts for the sake of those who may be the
victims Of future accidents.
Areas of boiling water have just been found in
the Gulf of Mexico Well the Mississippi and its trb-
utares have been washing the shores of some very
warm political States of late.
The fight against fees for admission to Mt Ver-
non is gathering strength every day, and there are
hopes that more patriotic system may be estab-
lished.
