N0L7E MURDER CASE GOES To

eight days, spent Two hours in draw

Notes life as that of an abnormal
man. burdened with curse which. he

testimony. the courtroom was hushed
and letters written by Jack Noltc 70

a litter as they were read in The earl?
part of the trial, were listened to iur
the second time By an audience which
marreled at them as they were pic

Notes life at times almost buried in
oblivion the fact that states phy3i-
CLANS had testified that in spite Of
his ahnormalily. N0lte was sane and
that he should be held responsible
for killing his bosom friend.
Jack Nolte killed Lee Ritz" Mr..
O'Brien said; there seems TO be no
denial Of that fact. They say you

history and life before YOU us | have

Mr.. O'Brien even mention INSANITY,
then it WAS to say:
Tell me that a person suffering
from great mental disorder. who
months before had said he was going
mad, and who as YOU have heard il
described. shoots and kills his dearest
friend. then tries 10 kill hiuself--lrll

Gated in broader fashion, They must

not be narrowed by caste or section,
but with tolerance and good will must
hold firmly to principles of sound pol

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

North tacit assumption that slavery
would ultimately disappear. By the
Nebraska Bill this assumption was
rudely shaken. The South hemmed
in by lines of compromise had be-
come aggressive. Lincoln had had
in the region where he lived an OPP
portunity to observe the clash of OPP
posing forces. His interest in poll
tics, his fondness for debate, his vital
concern for his country had kept his
mind alert. He pondered the prob
lem and reached his own conclusion.
Seward had minted his phrase "irre
pressible conflict" but Lincoln more
wildly impressed upon the public
mind that "a house divided against
itself cannot stand" and this nation
cannot endure half free and half
slave" The debates with Douglas
gave Lincoln the chance still more
sharply to formulate his principles.
In democracy it is the duty of
the leader to make distinct and vivid
the crisis and solution which the
many only vaguely perceive. At a
time of confusion the country called
for clear thinker, striking phrase
maker, devoted champion. Lin
coin was ready; his education had fit
ted him for the mighty task. In
craftsmanship, in diplomacy, in STRAIT
egy, in public speech, the President
never faltered or failed.
The essentials of Lincoln's educa-
ton hold good of all education. No
scholastic system can be devised to
produce men of his stamp, but what
he attained by virtue of his genius
can be emulated by all who would be
truly educated. The preparation of
Lincoln teaches that there can be no
genuine efficiency without thorough
discipline and training, that power
comes from persistent, self-directed
effort to see things as they are, to
reason accurately, to discriminate vi
tai principles and to be unswervingly
loyal to them. His education makes
it clear that book learning must be
supplemented by insight into the lives
and interests of many men. 1t proves
that democracy is not merely mat
ter of constitutions, laws, rights and
duties, but spirit which can be fos-
tered only by respect for men as men,
by faith in the sound feeling and
good will of the average citizen and
by steadfast loyalty to the common
life.
Our days are unvexed by any
thought of civil war. AS nation we
have gained in wealth, power and

Death Announced of Prof. Ehrlich's
Assistant.

DR.. Jacob Benadia, the we'll
known assistant of Professor Ehr-
Itch, just died at Frankfort-am- Main.
DR.. Benadia was born in 1868, and
had brilliant career as medical
student and scientist. He met the
great discoverer of COG at Professor
Koch's Institute, and later on COOP
Grated in most of Professor Ehrlich's
experiments. Since the war broke
out he had been at the front as a
military attendant.

right reasoning. He displayed inten-
sity as we'll as independence of
thought He mastered surveying in
six weeks he studied Euclid after he
had served a term in Congress. He
rarely consulted others, but reached
his own conclusions by we'll matured
reflection. His mind worked surely
rather than brilliantly. "You cannot
tell what Lincoln is going to do until
he does it" was said of him by one
of his friends.
Lincoln's naturally kindly, sympa-
thetic disposition was schooled by
hardship, by sorrow, and by widen
ing knowledge Of human nature, into
a noble charity Lincoln did
not stihe but rather expressed his
feelings about life and conduct. In
little things his emotions were exer
cised until strong sentiments for
truth, justice, tolerance became fixed
in his character. He was able to
feel soundly and sanely
Little by little he came to organize
his life about principles. These were
detached from all irrelevant issues:
they commanded his whole-hearted
devotion. Singleness of purpose was
a clue to his life He had no favorites
to reward no enemies to punish. He
endured insult and abuse. "To sup
press rebellion and save the Union
became his guiding and controlling
motive. Yet he was no doctrinaire.
He knew when to yield in unessential
things. He had rare sagacity Often
to those about him he seemed incon-
sistent and vacillating. Nevertheless
everything he did had some bearing
upon the end he kept steadily in view
He knew how to act steadfastlv.
Lincoln showed capacity for growth
He outgreW the frontier and left it
behind him. He became, as one has
said, larger than Illinois * *
greater than the North *
commensurate IN MS genius ana spirit
with the Nation" When he went to
Washington as President, few had
any hope that he would be equal to
his mighty task. Before he died he
had convinced a Nation that he had
marvellous power to widen his vision
and strengthen his grasp of great af
fairs. Lincoln's life became a glori-
Gus loyalty to enduring ideals of ma
tional integrity, of human justice, of
genuine democracy, of magnanimity
and good will.
To see Lincoln in true perspective,
we must recall the crisis which stirred
him and summoned him to the service
