the four men could not be held collective
ly responsible for the one gun.

The Valentine

Next to our rejection of Santa Claus the worst thing that the sophistica- tion of time does for us is to de stroy our interest in the other best dates in the calendar. If some of us strove to keep that interest alive we might know life better and live longer
 One of these days is St. Valentines, now near at hand. There was time in life of most men and women of middle age today when the approach of February IA meant thrill. It was a day of sentiment and humor. To the very young it was an occasion for the exhibition of irresponsible and ire quently cruel play in the dispatch of "comic'-and mostly coarse-valen- tines. Old maids and bachelors and other grownups of well known weak nesses and tender sensibilities suffer ed most, but even these could afford to forgive and ignore the thoughtless effrontery of children. The other and elaborate valentines, however, if sent anonymously, bore a mysterious, even celestial message. There are many thousands of women still liivng to- day who have some of these lacy col orful creations preserved in lavender. And why not? There is all too little of the tender and innocent expression of a distant and respectful regard for women to be noted among men just and altogether too much of a bolder and degrading admiration Philadelphia Press.

is not so likely to be sharply defined
 for posterity.
 Perhaps the reason why Lincoln
 will never arouse much controversy
 like these other towering historical
 figures is that the work he wrought and the cause he personified are less
 open to honest differences of opinion.
 For two centuries after Cromwell's
 head was hacked from his dead body
 and made a public show. as a mock to
 his name, good men were sharply di-
 vided as to whether the anti-monarch- ical cause in England had been in any
 way grounded in reason or justice
 Over the work of Napoleon men today
 violently differ, and centuries may
 have to elapse before a final consen- sus of opinion regarding him will be
 possible. In Lincoln's case, the sit uation is already clear. No one, not
 even the southerners, now believes that the policy of secession was sane; and very few of them regret that the attempt at disunion failed. As for the negro, whatever controversy may yet survive as to his status, all agree that the destruction of slavery was bless ing And this consensus of opinion regarding the cause of which Lincoln became the leader must ever present serious attacks upon his position in history.
 But the very fact that Lincoln's fame is made so secure against dan gerous assault reveals the probability that he will be, if anything, over praised and overglorified. Whether anyone will ever think it worth while to protest against excessive estimates of Lincoln's personal service may be doubted. Americans, at least, are not likely to take up the work of making the figure of one of their two supreme national heroes shrink in size. For eigners who may write on American history will be more likely to measure him without the bias of national feel ing. In any event, hostile criticisms canont leave Lincoln's fame in a state of collapse. He must remain one of the great men of modern times-one of the very greatest, ranking in the 18th century with just two others, Bismarck and Napoleon, in the i'm portance of the issues he embodied. And still it is a mistake to assume that Lincoln was indispensable" Without him the north would surely have won the fight, because of its own superior strength. It is no disparage- ment of great men to say that their names come to represent far more than anything they actually were in the flesh. The labels of these historic figures assume abstract, impersonaI attributes, they stand for causes and sum up the energies, the hopes, the struggles of whole peoples. It is only lair to common humanity that tolls and suffers that this be not forgotten, Republican.

struck dumb by his threats, and when with one blow he pushes down the pillars of the temple, like Samson, they rush forth in horror, expecting him to be destroyed under the fall ing walls. Instead of which St. Val entine kneels unhurt, with seraphic look upon his face, while the wrath of their god is not shown by the
 fierce wind and tempest which they expect, and quantities of doves and birds alight upon the neighboring trees in peaceful focks. St. Valen- tine immediately after this miracle marries the first heather couple and performs the first marriage ceremony in Tyrol according to Christian rites, which would seem Sto associate him with at least two of the modern GUS toms as the saint of lovers, and with the emblem of his doves and birds.
