The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1920-02-12

Lincoln was an exponent of Ameri-
can principles. In two directions his
influence tells to this day: against the
evil of slavery, and against the evil
of intemperance.
In a speech that Lincoln delivered
on Washingtons Birthday, in the year
1912, he confidently foretold that the
forces making for good would event
ually get the ascendency everywhere.
And when the victory is complete, ."
he said, when there shall be neither a
slave nor a drunkard on the earth, how
proud the title of that land which may
truly claim to have been the birth
place and the cradle of both those
revolutions that shall have ended in
victory"
1t is said that Lincoln's hatred of
slavery began when in New Orleans he
saw slaves chained and whipped. That
was in the spring of 1881, when he was
twenty two. Some years later the
subject of slavery was discussed III
the Illinois Legislature of which Lin
coin was a member. He was then of
the opinion that the institution of
slavery is founded on both injustice
and bad policy, but that the promul-
cation of abolition doctrines tends to
increase rather than abate its evils"
He further held that the congress of
the United States ought not to abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia,
unless at the request of the people
Of the district" While opposed to
slavery, he recognized the right of the
majority to govern. That principle is
one which is muddled and confused by
1emagogues in our day as badly as in /
Lincoln's. His clear thinking is shown /
N the key passage of his first debate
with Stephen A. Douglas in the cam
laign of 1854: MY distinguished
riend says it is an insult to the emf
grants to Kansas and Nebraska to
themselves. We must not slur over
n argument of this kind because it
appens to tickle the ear 1 admit that

stand as mighty bulwark against its
destruction in the homeland. Even
with the press reports Of the activities

there came ringing from the conven-

our association in the Great War, TO

and sanctify our comradeship by our

we strive in narrow. selfish ways
To win advancement or have praise.
To gain rewards. to hear applause
TO be accounted great or wise;
We make convenience cause
And never look with watchful eyes
For that approval. right or wrong,
Accorded by the noisy throng
To them that have the wit to see
Which way the crowds intend to fare,
And brazenly pretend to be
The God-sent. glorious leaders there.
He SAW with vision true and clear
And, crushing doubt and scorning fear,
Advanced. with conscience as his guide;
Discerning where the course was laid,
He waited not for wind tide,
Nor for the mob's approval stayed;
giant where weak pigmes rose
no jeer and clamor and oppose,
He pressed with GOd-lilSe earnestness
Through hellish hate and bloody stress,
To die martyr at the goal.
We worry over little cares,
We mutter foolish, selfish prayers,
And think that God will deign to heed;
We scheme to keep our brothers back
We long to dazzle or to lead,
And sigh for riches that we lack;
We covet honors and are proud
To win the favors of the crowd
That for a little while has time
To cheer us where we strut to let
Us fancy have grown sublime
And then is ready to forget
We read the sad appeal that lies
Within his kindly sunken eyes
And learn a little of his love;
We mark the lines upon his brow
And dimy see how much he bore,
And in our weakness wonder how;
We gaze upon the sculptured face
And all the patient sorrows trace;
We search for vanity, for pride
That, human-like, he might have claimed
Then thrust our little cares aside
And turn away and are ashamed.
