delicate and insidious, and it is we'll
for us to examine it coolly. The New
Republic puts it sharply away. I'm
point of fact Mr.. Lincoln was super
ficially a man of the people, and funda-
mentally a unique, distinguished and
wholly exceptional individual. In GER
tain salient respects he was the least
typical of Americans. Americans, par
ticularly those of Lincolns own gener-
alton and neighborhood, were essen
TALLY active, aggressive and objective
men, whose lives were given over to
practical external affairs, who sub
ordinated everything else to the de-
mands of practical achievement, and
whose individuality consisted in living
ordinary lives in an extraordinarily
energetic manner. They were super
fetal, discursive, easy-going, quarrel
some, and wholly incapable of prepar-
ing in advance for any task or respon-
sibility. In all these respects Lincoln
differed from his fellow countrymen,
and upon these differences his emf
hence depends. He was not particu-
larly ambitious, aggressive or practi-
cal In spite of his lively social feel
ings, he lived contemplative life, in
which the intellectual interest OBJ
tanned full expression and which at
tanned high degree Of internal con-
centration. He fought hard and well,
but he never quarreled. During his
formative years he quietly but unos-
tentatiously prepared himself for great
enterprises. He trained his mind be-
cause he enjoyed hard intellectual ex-
ertion. His style shaped itself under
the influence of the Bible and Shake
speare. Thus at a period and in a
country favorable to the cheap per-
Torrance and the easy victory, Mr.
Lincoln tempered his reason and his
spirit for a great performance and q
costly victory. Was there anything
typically American about that?"
Ideas Worth Consideration.
This is refreshing variation from
the canned eloquence" of the Lincoln
day utterance, and it will repay con-
sideration and emphasis, since we are

very like our forbears as to just the
defects the New Republic here pun
gently outlines. II we thought more
of Lincoln's extraordinary disinterest-
edness, of his heroic patience, of his
deeply brooding spirit, and less of
those qualities with which we estab-
lish all too readily a rough resem-
blance to our daily selves, we might
get a wholesome and much-needed re-
action from our rafting, self-satisfied
and shallow life without losing our
sense of his reality as human being
having human weaknesses. Especially
keen is the thrust delivered at our
tendency to "the cheap performance
and the easy victory" and it's contrast
with Lincoln's tempting reason and
spirit for great performance and
a costly victory"
No great victory was ever pur-
chased cheaply. 1t has always been
paid for in long and costly, though
often unconscious preparation. Our
national optimism, our impotence and
superfciality obscure that truth.
As Typical American.
But, after all, in the legend we are
making of Lincoln as typical Ameri-
can there is an instinct and truth
that are not superficial. All legend
making is a profound process of ma.
tional self-realization, an intuitive in.
carnation Of national ideals, and in the
case of Lincoln it is based upon the
sincere, the religious democracy Of
this great man. The high distinction
of mind, as shown, for example, in the
prose of the Gettysburg grafton, the
moral nobility, the interpretive aloof-
ness which were an essential part of
him, only aecentuate for us the warm
nearness of his nature to the common
mar and the common life. Lincoln
himself held to the mystical concep-
ton Of democracy which Whitman ex-
pressed in his poetry and which is the
dream in the heart of Americanism.
The essential brotherhood of man
was an intimate and glowing reality to
Lincoln, not a lofty abstraction, and
though we betray it and misread it we
must cling to it If we are to save the
national soul.
Idealizing ourselves through Lincoln
is more than self-hattery, 1t is a crude
but not ignoble EFFORT to express the
deepest and most pervasive element OF
American idealisn.

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup OF
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love it's pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with

When cross, irritable, feverish. or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful Of this harmless fruit
laxative and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic-remem-

always be the first treatment given.
Millions OF mothers keep California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know q
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for so

LINCOLN, MAN
OF THE PEOPLE
Many Reasons Why He Has Just
!y Been Given the Title Of
Typical American.
Firm Believer Always in the coneep-
ton of Democracy Which Is the
Foundation of Our Nation-his
Many High Qualities Worthy
Of Emulation.

TNO save Abraham Lincoln from
deathly apotheosis of the steel
engraving has been laudable
effort Of recent years. OF course
it will not prevent the process Of leg
end making which works upon the
earthly reality of every great man, and
in due time leaves MIN desiccated
abstraction existing for the heavy
boredom of childhood. Even Lincoln,
with his vital, homely outlines, his
intimate, endearing faults, and strong
flavor of his day, must come to this
turn. But the process may be retard-
ed and ought to be as long as we can
contrive.
One hundred and seven years ago
Lincoln was born. Fifty-one years ago
he was shot by John Wilkes Booth,
and on the next day he died, the first
"martyred president" A great wave
of passionate sorrow, gratitude and af-
lection swept the North. The process
of apotheosis began. Today it may be
observed in the sanctified generalities
of Lincoln orations, editorials, poems
and articles.
Moved by Flattery.
The central idea OF the overwhelm-
ing majority Of these tributes is Lin
coin, the man of the people, the typi-
! cal American. Year after year on
February ~ and frequently through
out the year we hear this confident
summary and without examining it. Is
this mental inertia or are we uucon-
sciously moved by the flattery implicit
in this idea? An editorial in the New
Republic suggests the latter, The real
purpose Of Lincoln.day speakers is not
so much to eulogize Lincoln, this jour
nal declares. as to flatter the audience
"lf Mr.. Lincoln was SO entirely man
of the people, the people must be very
like to Lincoln"

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS
BOTHER AND USE SALTS
Take Glass Of Salts Before Break
fast If Your Back Is Hurting or
Bladder ls Irritated.

II you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush or
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in q
glass Of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acids of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
