HUNDREDS PAY TRIBUTE

Continued from First PageJ
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1916-02-22
SIMPLICITY OF SOUL NATIONAL DESTINY INC

four wear war are of notable value Lincoln walked
from the army camp into the city leading his little
Tad BY the hand. With him were few army and
navy officers also walking, and cOrporals guard of
marines There was not faintest shade of exulta-
ton in mis- demeanor and his almost overpowerng grief
due the awfuness Of the wal, was tempered only by
the thought that the long trial was at last near its
end and that the country would soon be restored
to peaceful ways
Washington was less simple and modest IN his
demeanor, whether in peace; and when he re-
lindushed his public tasks and retired to private life
he asked only to be allowed to remain quietly with
his people the farm till death should claim him.
His addresses to congress, to the people and to the
army all marked by the grace of nobility but no
less marked by the simple mOdesty which always goes
with true greatness of soul
So tense is the crisis which conronts this nation
today and so necessary it is that the national thought
should be concentrated and directed toward the con-
Servation Of national peace with honor and with I'M
interrupted opportunity for national development and
sincere expression, that it is well to fix attention on
the bright torch of leadership which Washington and
Lincoln held up and kept burning They were far from
being typical Americans" they too often called
They supermen and typical Americans" do them
selves honor when they recognize in those supermen
the qualities that make for superiority and that compel
respect and admiration.
Upon one phase of our highly stimulated national
life and character of this day. that of false feeling Of
security, Washington is particularly safe guide to
correct thought He possessed the gift of true prophecy
which in its best sense is nothing less than
Washington foresaw many of the difficulties that the
nation had to pass through and gave warning Lincoln
himself suffered and the country suffered because OF
"unpreparedness" at the crisis.
OF both it may truly be said that they lived in
the spirit Of Elihu Roots trenchant maxim: mo man

should draw pistol who dares shoot The govern
ment that shakes its fist first and its finger afterwards
falls into contempt"
Both men believed in holding much in reserve
words especially. Neither given to cratoTy or to
rough and drastic language in official statements and
diplomatic papers. Each truly exampled the American
spirit expressed in the figure of the eagle coins
which holds olive branch in the right claw, sheaf
of arrows in the left.
Lincons government did not "shake its fist first and
its finger afterwards" did it "fal into contempt"
Washington's personality the real soul of the reyO
luton, and victory won, not by right without
might but by right acting through might
Both had exalted views of the mission" of this
republic Neither could tolerate eccentric eccentric
national policy Both believed the American re-
public had enough to do for countless centuries to live
its own honest life and develop in its way the
highest opportunities for mankind. Neither had any
illusions about mission" that would start this country
of on an evangezing PROSECUTING crusade to involve
US IN endless complications and controversies Nor
they little Americans" They did not want isolation
but real independence which, after ALL includes reel
procity, and involves sacrifice But they held without
swervng the thought that the first duty of the United
States Is to the United States and that the highest
destiny of this republic be best achieved through
tensive not extensive cultivation of national oppOr
tun1tles Always the thought was What give
mankind? not, What get from the rest of man
kind?
Both men believed in the principle of universal
service in of need to defend the country from
Its enemies within without Both saw that the
gravest menace to this republic the false of
security coupled with that of british selhness
that disregards the line where mans liberties end
and anothers begin. Both devoted the best they
had-aH they had-tO their country, and can any man
say why precisely equivalent duty does rest upon
each citizen Of the republic today and always?

A Wise Choice Of Paving

Cement concrete will be used for paving the upper
valley road, at least so far the available money
goes The choice is wise The Herald gives full
credit to the majority of the board of county commits
soners for the vote which settled the controversy; the
decision is an administrative matter, the board has
acted and The Herald believes the board has made no
mistake in this instance.
This newspaper has given full opportunity for the
EXPRESSION of opinion upon both sides of the paving
question Through the news columns, Letters to
The Herald" and advertisements, both sides have had
full hearing. Today appears a letter from upper
valley land strongly opposing the choice of con-
crete But while gladly giving space to this letter
The Herald feels bound express its opinion that
manv of the points in the letter not well taken
and that the choice of concrete is wise
If The Herald had to take the responsibility of
choosing permanent pavementS for city and country
would unhestatngly say that bitulithc almost excu-
svely should be used in the city and concrete almost
exclusively in the country There city streets
especially the less travelled ways and retired residence
streets where light concrete construction might be used
to advantage for the sake of economy; there is no
objection to the of btuhic in country road
work under certain conditions But on the whole the
btulithic may be considered the ideal city pavement
the concrete the ideal country pavement.
Certainly the majority of the board is not Justly
to be censured for its decision in this instanceouite
the contrary It has abundant authority and support
for its choice and while the question of relative value Of
different pavements is open controversial one there
are many reasons 6o believe that as result Of thS
new departure in local road building the whole COM
munity will derive substantial and permanent benefit
