The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-10-16
BY MILTON M. BRoNNER

New York, Oct. 16.-"The more I
study Woodrow Wilson the more l
see the parallel between him and Lin
coin. Wilson makes me think of Lin
coin in his intense Americanism, in
his entire devotion to the well-being
of the average man of our country
and not to any particular favored
class"
Thus Miss Ida M. Tarben began
in her study in the quiet GrameTcy
park section, when l asked her
whether there really was parallel
between Lincoln and any man Of our
time.
Hardly any one could give a more
authoritative and Unprejudiced an
swer than she. The life of Lincoln
long has been one of her deepest
studies. To Lincoln she has devoted
some of her best and most famous
books.
Most presidents" said Miss Tar
bell, mo matter how peaceful their
times, have serious problems, and
most of them are inclined to- think
that no president since Lincoln has
had such troubles. In the case Of
Wilson the parallel has more 10
rest on.
Both men had a pretty clear issue
that they kept to the front. With
Lincoln the main idea was the pres
ervation of the union. Wilson is
seeking to keep the peace, with
honor.
Wilson makes up his mind what
his object is; he sticks to it and you
can't get him away. That was Lin
coin. He stuck to his object like a
dog to bone.
Wilson, like Lincoln, doesn't
make up his mind quickly or with
out deep thought. A decision with
him is not matter of impulse. Viii

WILSON IS MORE LIKE LINCOLN THAN ANY
MAN OF OUR TIME


SAYS IDA TARBELL.
And while he does this his mind is
open to new facts.
He has no pride of opinion. His
enemies accuse him of shifting his
position. An intelligent, honest man,
when in a position where the facts
shift, MUST change his position.
Otherwise he would be dOgmatic.
Lincoln, too, used to be accused
of shifting his position, but he replied
that whenever he was convinced his
view was wrong he would change. 1t
was the true view he was after.
Il think there have been few Oc-
casions in our history in which intel
igence called more urgently to a
man to shift his position than in VIII
sons case. And this was so because
for long time every morning he was
confronted by new set of facts in a
new set of circumstance.
Lincoln used to say before the
war that the dispute about slavery
should be settled by ballots and not
bullets, so Wilson's position is that in
a civilized world reasonable pro-
cesses and not bullets should settle
disputes.
Wilson, amid a world in arms,
has been trying to preserve the little
body of international law that the
world had worked out. He has pre-
vented the world from stepping back
entirely from the highest point it had
reached.
Lincoln felt that the world had
reached a certain point as to slavery.
If slavery spread in this country he
felt the world would be going back
ward in its attitude toward human
beings and the democratic ideal If
the small body of international law
was destroyed Wilson felt that the
world would be going back in a sim
liar maner.

Dated "4-21-16,'' the following note

Turner was taken in custody because

The Havoc" presented at the
Strand Friday night to good-sized
audiences, tells story of the love OF
two men for woman but tells 1t in
different way from than usually en-
ployed. Richard Craig finds that his
young friend, Paul Hessert, has won
the love of Craig's wife away from lim.
Instead of storming and threatening 10
commit murder, Craig merely signi-
fed his intention of getting a divorce,
but asks that he may be allowed to
live in the same house with the couple,
as Hessert did before. '..
From then on he sets himself de-
liberately to win back his wife's love.
This he does, and shows her that Hes

z. Ballard Pays For Beating Up Mrs
Smith and Goes Free. -

An unusual" way of terminating d
criminal case was brought about in the
mayors court Friday afternoon when
E. Ballard, charged with assault and
battery, paid claims for personal in
jury he inflicted. Ballard was arrested
on the complaint Of David Smith, 300
South Second avenue. whose wife Bal
lard beat. The Smiths were willing to
accept $3.50 for Mrs. Smiths black
ened eye. A mar named Mitchell, also
struck by Ballard, thought about $3.50
would be right for his injury. Ballard
paid both claims and was permitted to
escape with the payment OF the costs
