LINCOLN WOULD NEVER HAVE
PASSED AN EFFICIENCY TEST

There is an editorial in the February
issue of the Woman g Home Companion
in which the writer says:
"We shudder to think what the YER
dict of the efficiency experts would be
upon Lincoln. Why, the man had no
sense of money at all!-and to get the
money is, of course, the chief purpose
and end of efficiency.
"He had worked hard for an aver
age lifetime before he was elected to
the presidency. Yet at his Inaugural
ton his entire fortune consisted Of his
house and lot in Springfield, and lit
tie wild land in Iowa, granted to him
for his services in the Black Hawk
war. A few years later he is reported
to have said: Il now have about ten
thousand dollars. I hope before I die
to increase it to twenty thousand dol
lars, which is all the money any one
man ought 70 want
''He seems actually to have had the
idea that money is merely incidental
to the business Of living, not nearly
so important as friendship or a sense
Of humor, or a clear conscience. He
assumed that after a man had enough
to pay his debts, and attain a reason
able degree Of independence, it was
useless, and even a trifle absurd, for
him to seek to pile up great fortune.
A more hopelesslv inefficient point of
view, Of course, could hardly be i'm
agined.' -.
