DANIELS SCORES PEssIMIsTs

New York, Jan. 6.-Persons who
predict destruction of American in
dustry through the dumping" of
cheap foreign made goods after the
European war were described as pes
simistic prophets of evil by Secretary
Daniels of the navy in a speech here
tonight at the annual banquet of the
Society of Automobile Engineers.
~ would be ashamed" he said, "to
believe that, with large portion of
the European workers killed in bat
tie and more MANNED and crippled,
American able-bodied men trembling
for fear they would be ruined by such
competition when the war ends.
"And / would be more ashamed if
I did not believe that the American
government could be depended upon
in such remote emergency to preserve
American commerce from any unfair
practices of other nations following
the war without the necessity of re-
turning to tariff system enacted for
the fat-fryers."

Predicts Sex War in Eng
land When Peace Comes

London, Jan. Warfare between
the sexes, such as has been unknown
since the days of the NEUROLOGICAL
Amazons, is predicted for England
after war by Professor Marion Phil
lips, D. S. G.
Prof. Phillips bases this gloomy
prediction upon the great mass of
women who will be dependent. A
mighty commercial war is expected
mighty commercial war is expected to
follow the conflict of arms in which
unprecedented competition will be the
chief factor.
The war already has opened num-
berless positions in the working world
to women and the contention is that
they will fight against giving them
up when peace is made.
The prediction is made that suf-
fragette militarism on an enormous
scale will follow and there will be
bloodshed if attempts are made to
force women back into the niche they
formerly occupied.
The remedy suggested by Professor
Phillips is, absolute equality; the
same work and the same wages for
men and women; the same responsible
tiles and the same compensation.

and ardent spirit, dreaming at large
upon the full possibilities of life.
dreamed at times of doing something
of the work that Shakespeare did. OF
rejecting the manifold humanity OF
America in imperishabie verse. If so,
the dreams were lightly discarded. and
Lincoln as writer contented himself
with putting the weighty ncoce OF
every day into language of firm tex
ture, and when he willed, of high i'm.
mortal eloquence.
But Lincoln had a kinship with
Shakespeare, the supreme artist, in faI
deeler ways than in the mere mastery
of words. He saw life on the high
plane of eternity, as Shakespeare saw
it and as every true artist sees it.
From this poetical temperament
came Lincolns melancholy. He &C
copied the hard facts of life as calmly
as any man, and fought meanness and
greed and sly cunning and open base
ness, as if victory over them were
all he cared for Yet at the same
time, with the poets sense of things
beyond, he saw not only the pettiness
of defeat. but the pettiness of present
victory compared with the years be-
fore and the years after, and the vast
uncertainty of the destinies of men.
Who has known this melancholy and
expressed it better than Shakespeare?
From his poetical temperament.

trivial laughter. Lincoln was no
Laughter, and we are sure that Shake,
Speare was not Just as the sense of
the cropping mystery of things breeds
sadness in it's pathetic aspect, so the
contrast between the huge eagerness
of men and their pitiful accomplish
ment breeds a smile, not OF mockery
or scorn, but of the tsnderest pity and
kindness.
Finally. Shakespeare's supreme
greatness as an artist vas in his COM
prehension-by Loving sympathy-of
the hearts of men, of all men. Was
not that Lincolns greatness. too?
Shakespeare used his gift to create
men and women who can never Gle.
Lincoln used his to play like a great
master on instruments SO different as
Seward and Chase and Stanton, as Nc
Clellan and Hooker and Sherman and
Grant. and by his genius reunited
nation that as long as it lives. viii

The chief fruitfulness OF this point
of view is that it brings out clearly
the distinction between Lfneoih amt

aries, say Seward and Grant in the
North, and Lee and Davis in the South.
They were all practical men. men alb

they were engaged They did not look

He had not only profound intelli.
gence: he had a splendid imagination.
He was not only a great statesman;
he was a great artist.-Frcm the

Many High Qualities Worthy

1NO 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 him a 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.
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-
fecticn swept the North. The process
of apotheosis began. Today it may be
observed in the sanctified generalities
Of Lincoln orations, editorials, poems
and articles.

this mental inertia or are we uncon-

In this idea? An editorial in the New

so much to eulogizo Lincoln, this Jour-
nal declares, as to flatter the audience.

The reproach has more of Justice

the courtier of democracy flattering

delicate and insidious, and it is well
for us to examine it coolly. The New
Republic puts it sharply away. "In

wholly exceptional individual. In Ger.
tain salient respects he was the least

ing the mems billets and the men the
maids; so that each of the young men

valentine, and each of the girls upon
young man whom she calls hers. BY
this means each has two valentines;
but the man sticks faster to the val
entine to whom he had fallen. For
tune having thus divided the company
into so many couples, the valentines
give balls and treats to their mis-
tresses, wear their billets several days
