' Universal Hero.

For America, at least, there is the
one universal hero. No one questions
his greatness. None names him but
to praise.
Who is this universal hero?
Is it Napoleon? Many condemn
him, as Ingersoll did, as the imperial
personifcation of force and murder. y
No, it is not Napoleon.
Washington, then? Wendell Phil
lips said: "DLt the great Virglnian

had his detractors.
Lincoln? Perhaps later on; but not
