His Charac-
ter Analysed
by a Presi=
dent, an Ex-
President and
Other Noted
Americans.
By WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT:

r DON'T think it is too much to say
that Lincoln had the most judicial
temperament of any man in his
tory. He considered the arguments of
his opponents with all the fairness of
John Stuart Mill and preserved that
calm judicial consideration of the
views of every one that became i'm
portant, and in his disagreement with
them he left nothing more than the
application of an apt story or clear
Euclid-like demonstration of error with
out sting. With his love of truth, the
supreme trait of his intellect, accom-
panied by a conscience that insisted
on the right as he knew 1t, with Il
great heart full of tenderness, we have
the combination that made Lincoln one
of the two greatest Americans.
The south knows as the north knows
now that there is no soul that unites
them in perfect amity like that Of
Abraham Lincoln. The south knows
as the north knows that every admin
istratiOn that removes another cause
of misunderstanding between the sec
lions or that brings them closer to-
gether in any way is acting under the
inspiration of him who could love his
entire country with undiminished ar
dor when nearly one-half was seeking
to destroy its integrity.

By BOOKER T. WASHINGTON:

1fY first knowledge Of Abraham
M Lincoln came in this way: I
was awakened early one morn
ing before the dawn Of day, as 1 lay
wrapped in a bundle Of rags on the
dirt floor of our slave cabin, by the
prayers Of my mother, just before leav-
ing for her days work, as she was
kneeling over me, earnestly praying
that Abraham Lincoln might succeed
and that one day she and her boy
might be free. - AS an individual,
grateful as I am to Lincoln for free
dom Of body, my gratitude is still
greater for freedom Of soul, the liber-
ty which permits one to live up in that
atmosphere where he refuses to permit
sectional or racial hatred to drag down,
to warp and narrow his soul. = =
Lincoln lives today because he had the
courage which made him refuse to
hate the man at the south and the man
at the north when they did not agree
with him.

Herndon gives 1t currency in his Life
Of Lincoln but there must have been
mistake somewhere. The Judge and
l were friends. He claimed that Mrs.
Lincoln told him the story herself, but
he and she were never very friendly.

The Lincoln home in Springfield re-
mains very much as 1t was when the
Lincolns occupied it, number of the
rooms having in them the same furni-

Edwards, who was Mr.. Lincoln's

ports That Many Worknaen Have
Refused Available Positions.

Madison.-Steady activity has
marked operations in the labor mar
kets of Wisconsin during the last
weeks of the fall season.
The demand, especially for COM
mon laborers, remained above the
supply at the prevailing rates of
wages for the whole month of Octo-
Der. Employers called for more men
to finish up their jobs before the ad-
vent of frost, and the free employ
ment offices at Milwaukee, Superior
and Oshkosh have been kept con-
stantly busy. Workmen changed
jobs frequently and many refused Of
fers of employment until they could
find the kind of work that suited
them.
Over 1900 men and go women
were referred to employers in Octo-
Der by the four Wisconsin free en-
ployment Offices Of these, 1888
men and 331 women accepted the
positions to which they were sent.
twenty-five hundred men and 600
women registered for work and en-
ployers called FOR more than 4,20G
men and 700 women.
The greatest demand was for gem
eral laborers on construction and
street work. Next to them, railroad
:aborers were most in demand. The
building trades came next, and after
them farm hands were most in de-
mand. Laborers for the woods and
workers in the various metal trades
were also greatly in demand. Other
industries calling for help were
woodworking and furniture, food
products, hotels and restaurants and
teaming and lveries.
