PRESIDENT LINCOLN ON BATTLE-GROUND OF ANTIETAM
By JAMES MORGAN

Seven stars already were gone
from the blue field of the flag at
Lincoln's Inauguration, and still others
were fading away. How to keep more
states from seeding and how to win
back to the Union those in secession
was the heart-racking problemn which
he faced while standing on the steps
of the Capitol, to register in heaven,
as he said, his vow to preserve, pro-
tect and defend the constitution.
When he sat down at his desk in
the white house the next morning,
he found lying on it report that
the loyal garrison of Fort Sumpter
had food enough to last only a few
days more. Geners,, Scott assured
the new president that it was imprac-
| ticable to attemp to provision the
fort and all except one member of
the cabinet agreed with the veteran
soldier.
When the commanding general
recommended that still another fort
be given up, there came to Lincoln d
sleepless night, through which he
watched by his sacred charge, the
| rended union. in its mortal crisis as
the shadow of dissolution lay upon it.
The morning found him fixed in mis-
determination to save it. The forts
should be defended.
He had kept his own council in all
the soul torturing struggles of that
| first decisive month of his term.
| While the inner Lincoln walked alone
p, under his awful burden, the outer
Lincoln shuffled along good-naturedly
through the daily routine. AS cabi-
net and leaders, not one of whom had
| known him year, watched and
measured this quaint, simple-man-
nered man, smiling and joking as he
| met the biggest and hungriest swarm
of office-seekers that ever assailed 4
! president, they were puzzled or dis
heartened. After four weeks, Seward,
| the secretary of state bluntly pro
posed that the new president should
| leave craftsmanship to him, and to
continue to amuse himself handing
out jobs.
Without betraying the least resent
ment, but with a firm hand, Lincoln
put Seward in his place so effectively
! that in a little while the secretary
was writing to his wife, "the president
is the best of US" At the first test
he had established his moral suprem-
acy over the eminent statesman whom
he had defeated for the nomination.
The arrival of the Federal supply
/ ships at the mouth of Charleston har-
Dor was the signal for the Confed-
crate bombardment of Of Fort Stump
! ter. The south had struck the first
blow, and the people of the north raj
lied to the support of the Union.
When congress met in extraordi-
nary session on July 4, the president
already had enrolled 5000 thousand
volunteer troops. In a few days he
started the first army toward Rich
mond, the Confederate capital, but
I only to see it hurled back in wild dis
| order from the banks Of Bull Run
F., Slowly gathering a second army, he
sent it forth under Mcclellan, who

but Mcclellan stopped Lee in Mary
land. Five days after the first vic
tory for the union at Antietam, Lin
coin met his cabinet with humorous
story by Artemus Ward. and then,
suddenly turning from the ridiculous
to the sublime. he gravely announced
that he had promised God to free the
slaves IL the arms Of the union should
win the battle. Thereupon he drew
from a drawer the emancipation pro
clamation, whose existence had been
known to no man.
The darkest winter in American
history since Valley Forgeswas yet to
come. A fourth army that Lincoln
hurled at Richmond met disaster at
Fredericksburg and Charlottesville,
and the western army under Grant
seemed to be laundering hopelessly
in the swamps of the Mississippi.
"My God! My God!" cried Lincoln
in broken tones as he held In his
hand the direful message from Chan
cellorsville. What will the country
say? What will the country say"
All that night he paced the floor Of
his Office. When the clerks came
In the morning they found him eating
his simple breakfast at his desk and
beside him the instructions to the
army of the Potomac that he had
thought out in the long, silent watches
he had kept alone on the bridge.
Lincoln never became a great adj
| ministrator. Except for a term as
| village postmaster. he came to the
presidency wholly without executive
experience, never having had clerk
under him.
The greatness of this man is to be
found only in his simple humanity
and in his leadership of the people.
In the first dark year of the conflict
this gift of his had made possible
and probable the ultimate victory by
winning to the union the states OF
Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia
Kentucky, Missouri and the eastern
section of Tennessee. Himself born
among the people of the borderland
he knew them and, with his finger on
their pulse, he had slowly, patiently
led them away from the south and
into the path of loyalty to the union
The secret of his leadership every.
where was the same-his kinship with

from all sctions of the earth has Gre
ated conditions in lines of agricul-
tural activity which prohibit United

tain farm products at a profit. This
condition tends to underproduction in
this country, as in the wool trade,

United States becoming an import
country instead of country export

anomalous and un-American condi-
ton, it is suggested that congress
be requested to stimulate American

In order to make available the

recommended.
(a) That legislation direct the
classification of all state and private
ly owned lands in northern Mime
sofa which are offered as agricul-
tural or nonargricultural and whether
best adapted for cultivation, pastur-
age or forestration. This implies
that a purchaser not familiar with
northern Minnesota conditions may
be assured that his purchase carried
with it a guaranty of its classified
ton as indicated above.
(b) That supervision and regula-
ton by license and bond or other ap-
proved method of land sellers and

be required.
(c) That legislation grant recog-
milton to properly supervided colo
nization projects in order the more
promptly and safely to assure sue
cess to the prospective settlers.
(d) That community development
projects, wherein settlers desire to
combine their credits and capital for
development purposes, be recogniz-
ed legislatively.
(e) That more complete and
stringent legislation for the construc-
ton and maintenance of firebreaks
for protection of life and property in
cutover regions be enacted.

In order to give the residents OF
