A Certain American Home

One perhaps should know Spring
field to appreciate the full dramatic
quality of events of the last week in
this quiet old Illinois town. A king
and queen there arrived to pay their
respects to a certain small clapboard
home and the man it housed some
sixty years ago. A visiting English
poet and dramatist, John Drink
water, followed on the same errand.
There were luncheons and formali-
ties, and Governor Lowden spoke
ably for his state and of her greatest
citizen. He is a queer American
who does not feel throb of emotion
at this unique celebration Of a place
and a man and a career that sum up
practically the whole of American
achievement.
The city Of Springfield has lost
none of it's old-fashioned flavor.
The banks do business not by virtue
of new marble fronts, but on the
strength of their age symbolized in
their old walnut furniture and
counters, carefullyspreserved. 1t is
a fiat, midland little city, neither
poor nor prosperous, comfortable
and calm above all else, quite un-
awed by the fine capitol and it's new
hotel and it's many sojourning poll
ticians. Lincoln's home is a low, in
conspicuous house off the main
street, left quite unchanged, without
tablet or monument to advertise it.
1t is the same within as without
Alike with the town itself, the dig
nifty and simplicity of Lincoln seem
to have brooded over these places of
his early career and protected them
from pretense or perversion.
1t was to this unchanged spot, the
most intensely American spot We
possess, it might be said, that these
Old World visitors paid homage.
John Drinkwater's play, Lincoln"
has been one of the outstanding sue
cesses in London. If it lacks vera
cious local 1avor-its author had
never visited America--it is strong
in the universal quality of Lincoln,
that simple, unerring greatness
which touched all that he did,
whether he was writing a letter to
his brother on thrift or dedicating a
great battlefield. AS for the king
who visited Springfield, he needs no
lesson in democracy to make him
comprehend the spirit of Lincoln's S
home town. Our greatest American
has gained in stature before the
world in the last years. What he
fought and died for here has some
how been advanced everywhere by
the men who died for civilization in
the great war. Words and defini-
tions are useless to express such IL
fact These small episodes at
Springfield, the tribute Of the world
to a tall, gaunt figure looming ever
taller with the years, symbolic the
record better than host of orators
or fine phrases.

BOlsherisns Played Out

"Since we met in Paris things have
moved some, but in what direction they
were moving it has been hard to work
out. Sometimes one has been inclined
to believe that they were just turning
round and round. But, on the whole,
l believe Europe is finding her feet
again. With Bella Kun on the run, Boil
shevism is played out everywhere ex-
cept in Russia, and | don't know
whether it will be much more than an
influence year from now even in Rus
sia. In Italy and the whole of North
western Europe it seems to have no
chance whatever, in spite of the labor
movement in England and elsewhere
"Seen from the European angle, your
Congress is not likely to cavil much
about the peace terms. In Holland the
Belgian question is keeping political
nerves taut. The Belgians are carry
ing on an enormous propaganda
financed by their industrial magnates

see signs of it on your side of the
Atlantic, but the result will probably
be nihil, since the British do not want
the Scheldt situation changed, nor Bel
gium to be stronger than Holland"

/ give these comments for what they

keen observer, particularly we'll ac-
quainted with financial questions. and,
as / have said, possessing that close
knowledge of German conditions which
was the first prerequisite for all Swiss,
Danes and Dutch business men and pub
licists, given the relation of their own
country to Germany. His picture OF
Germany getting back to work suggests
the economic menace which Germany
may easily become. Mr.. Morgenthau,
seeing exactly the same economic con-
ditions, in addition saw the possibility
of a revival of German militarism, if no
swift and reasonably successful wav
were found to compose the quarrels of
Central Europe and thus abolish the
temptation which present conditions must
have to the Germans to undertake to
revive the old dream of Mittel-Europa.
Moreover, if German economic recovery
proves as rapid as circumstances now
seem to forecast, Central Europe will
become economically subservient to
Germany, whatever the political rela-
ion may be.

We're bunch of thoroughgo ng Bolsheviki

And we say the wheels Of government arc

We are classy but we're far from being

A Bolshevik is sorehead SOUL
AS sad as rusty saw;
His ever ready voice should be ready to
rejoice
Each fracture Of the law.
His eye should stare with q cool con-
tempt,
His state be always broke;
He never should obey an authoritative
sway
Or governmental yoke.
His teeth should grind and his tongue
should rave:
His chin and his cheek should need a
shave;
His heart should beat with a hundred
hates,
And his speeches should be knocking

New-York tribune., 1919-10-23

90 MANY conflicting reports come
- to the United States from abroad
describing conditions in Europe,
and particularly Germany, that l have
thought my readers might find interest
ing the comment made by a friend of
mine, editor of one of the largest of
the newspapers of neutral nation, who
knows Germany exceedingly we'll. His
statements, so far as Germany is con-
cerned, are the more interesting, as they
confirm the declarations made by Mr..
Morgenthau recently in a public utter
ance, which was patiently intended as a
warning.
Writing in August, my correspondent
says:
"Unless woefully misinterpret things,
Europe, and notably Europe's working
classes, are getting their will power
back. The last few months have seen
us all more and more tired of the war
and its aftermath and more and more
anxious to get back to work.
Pessin,isn. Un,carranted
"Many of US had gone so far as to
assume that nobody would ever want to
work again, that the 'have-nots' would
live for a while on what they could
squeeze out of the 'haves' and that
after that new spell of the Dark Ages
would be upon US again. 1t has become
quite clear in my opinion that this pes
simism was not warranted. The Euro
pean patient is we'll on the road to re-
covery, you can see his elasticity and
springiness returning and he will pres
emily take up his job anew. I should
not be surprised to see him at it with
greater zest. The new ideas which we
have seen break through give us all
new and more stimulating environ
ment, and in everybody's bosom there is
springing up a keen curiosity to see
what the world is going to be like. And
our curiosity is big lever
"This new zest is, oddly enough,
more evident in Germany than any,
where else in Europe. Russia and
>nstria are different; France seems
~~.y.sfied. England is very, very tired,
and her fatigue may be a sign of
senility. But Germany is "live," and
though her people are still horribly
exhausted physically, now that l meet
Germans again, Germans of all kinds,
and meet them daily and can talk with
them without using any mental camou-
fage, | find to my great surprise that
they have retained their mental alert
ness and virility.

And yet, somehow, the thought often
comes that most sonnets are IA lines too
long.
