Lincoln is the unwilling of the Sphinx" says
Mr. Barnard, writing about his statue This statue
unveils not the Sphinx, but a chapter In pa

Arts virtue is to reveal, not to obscure. 1t is
power to make plain hidden things writes Mr.
Barnard. In this acromegallc Kentucklan has
been dragged into the open.

profession it ceased to be mystery In 1886.

Lincoln made-Lincoln himself-must be shown" If
an imaginary statue is insult, what shall be said
of this real one representing a uncouth Kentuckian

The writer has said that as Barnard was obliged

face must have been similar to his models Descrlb-

valley between soft light flows a gentle stream; it

Mr. Barnard even tried to convince himself that

what has been said about the mental weakness Of
the patient with acremegaly this remark possesses
a special significance:

patient a characteristic stoOp, has already been

Acromegaly was first described in 1886 and later
it demonstrated that the disease is due to

rs George Grey Barnard statue of Abra
ham Lincoln a faithful likeness of tn,
martyred PRESIDENT This is the question
which has been agitating the United State
ever since the completion Of the bronze effig7
whose original was presented to the city O.
Cincinnati by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles p. Taft
Since the proposal to send a replica of tn,
statue TO London to stand opposite Westmin
ster Abbey, the controversy has grown NOR
bitter.
Some artists, historians and men and
women who actually knew Lincoln in
the flesh approve of the statue Others
declare that the sculptor had no warrant
for what they term its gaunt and mis-
shapen ugliness, clothed with grotcsque
vulgarity."
On this page to-day science for the
first time takes a hand in the cOntrO-
versy. Dr. Arthur c. jacobson. a dis
tinguiShed physician and associate
editor of the Medical Times. applies to
the Barnard statue certain medical
tests which he contends show that the
sculptor unwittingIy selected for his
model a man who was physically de- r
formed by the ravages of the disease
known as acromegaly. This. as he in
terestingly explains, accounts f1r the
ugly distortions that are apparent In the
statue and stamp it as a failure to re
treate the real Lincoln, who, as is we'll
known, was singulary vigorous and free
from disease.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-03-28

Dr. Henry LandWlTJn, lecturer at
LoyoIa university, poet and drama
fist, who was arraigned in the
morals court on a charge of
living with Lillian Drescher under a
free love marriage, gave his own
opinions Of his faith yesterday in a
remarkable interview to a reporter
for The Day Book after his case had
been continued one week. In justi-
flying his stand he said:
Present society is founded on
force and brutality and, therefore,
must be abolished. Every institution
of our present day which is based
,On force will be changed sooner or
later. The conventional lies of the
present civilization will make place
for love and truth; love and truth are
everlasting.
Love in the present time is a
crime. Why? Because the present
institutions are not based on love,
only on force. I committed a crime
because love. My cOnsOTt has COM
mitted a crime because she loves me.
Therefore, we have been arrested,
thrown into Jail and are to be
dragged before the judge Of the NOR
ais curt to answer to charges of i'm
morality. Well, now we have to-
await the decision of justice.
when Maxim Cork came to this
land of the-free and home of the
brave he had the same trouble as
we. The church and state united
against him; society did not like his
morality. Why? Maxim Cork was
accompanied by Nine. Andrieva as
his wife, and who, it was reported,
was his mistress only and not his le-
gal cOnsOrt.
But there were some men in. the
United States who had different .opin-
ions of Cork and his loving cOmpan-
ion. Eugene V. Debs wrote: With

their (the PhaTisees) refined SEN

Christ, the Great Savior, says to
uplift and ennOble society the indi-
Vidual must first be Uplifted and en-

ennOble the individual society must
first be Uplifted and ennobled.
Il thoroughly believe in the vital
and abiding union with one woman
as a true basis of the family. But we
shall have few such unions until we
have free family.
Men and women must be free;
free from interference of legal and
ecclesiastical force and free to cor
rect their mistakes before we can
have a family that is noble, built on
unions that are good, lives that are
essentially one; cooperative in the
love and truth that make oneness.
Those marriages need no law of
church or state to bind them or keep
them together On such the impOsi-
ton of force is a destruction and a
blasphemy. On the other hand, no
