Lincoln and Sumner.

Lincoln was modestly proud Of his
stature and Of the effect Of the physical
man. especially when actuated by
noble sentiments. He used to speak
Of his height to every tall man he
met. and to propose measuring-an-
other guileless habit of self-gratifica-
ton. The only refusal he Is known
to have received was from Charles
Sumner, who was also tall and proud
Of his height. Sumner was worrying
the President. as he often did, about
some perplexing matter. when Lincoln
abruptly challenged him to measure.

A recent writer on Lincoln as Q
lover of mankind" has likened him
TO two other great men who have be-
come common possession of our
Anglo Saxon race. Although they
seem almost as far separated from
each other as from Lincoln himself.
both Chaucer and Sir Walter Scott
reveal to the careful observer the
qualities that provoked q comparison
apparently so remote. These are the
qualities Of a lover Of mankind.
Chaucer displayed them In depict
ing. with sympathy for all. the group
Of widely various characters who made
their immortal Canterbury Pilgrimage
together. Scott displayed them not
only through the creatures Of his I'M
agination. but also In his recorded re-
lations with all his fellow beings. In
that respect Chaucer Is at a disad-
vantage, because he lived long before
biography had attained anything like
Its modern abundance. Lincoln, later

ographers because OF his high place.
Is the most fully recorded of them all
although there Is no single book
about him that seems so sure to per-
sist as the Life OF Scott" by Scott's
son-in-law, Lockhart.
1t Is In the very variety and extent
OF the studies of LincOln's character
that the strength Of his hold on the
Imagination OF the world is shown.
Fifty-siX years have passed since
he met his tragic death. Through all
that period the interpretations Of his
cha aracter-historical, analytical, po-
etical-have steadily increased In num-
Der. The bare facts Of his unique,
yet strangely typical and signifcant
career, arrange themselves In per-
spective like the acts of great up
lifting tragedy. II he had lived In the
days when myths were made, 1t Is
easy to imagine that In the process
of time he would have grown into
great mythical figure, q King Arthur
Of the New World, a half-divine hero
like those that we associate with the
most distant antiquity.
But he belonged to no such period.
His age is one of the most amply re-
corded In all history, and the records
of his life are so intertwined with
those Of men and events quite with
out poetic or heroic suggestion, that
his feet can never be wholly removed
from the earth. Indeed, 1t Is much
better that no such possibility exists.
We need to know that out Of our COM
mon life can spring SO extraordinary
an example Of the development Of
which our human nature is capable.
When all Is said and done. when his
wisdom. his patience, his sacrifice are
fully remembered. we shall delight
pre-eminently to recall him as the
friendly, humorous, accessible lover Of
mankind.-Youth's Companion.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washlngton-Pres Woodrow
wilson refused to intervene in the con-
trcversy between the railroad labor
unions and executives before the Rail
road Labor Board at Chicago. The
Labor Board and Interstate Commerce
Commission are regularly constituted
agencies able to deal with the points
at issue, he said, in a telegram to off,
cials Of the unions and to a repre-
sentative of the railroads. Copies Of
the Presidents telegram were sent to

lists to Fl. F. Cradle, Grand President
OF the United Brotherhood of Mainte-
nance of Way Employees and Railway
Shop LebOrers, and to Thomas Dewitt
Cuyler, Chairman Of the Association
of Railway Executives, all Of Chicago.
In making requests that the railroads
be permitted to return to a pre-waS
basis Of operation, w. w. Atterbury,
Vice President of the Pennsylvania
Lines and spokesman for the railroad
executives, informed the War Labor
Board that, IL such permission be not
given, the roads soon will find them
selves face to face with bankruptcy.
The railroad unions Immediately tel
egraphed to President Wilson. request
ing him to institute an investigation
into the alleged facts as presented by
the railroads. These, they asserted,
we're not borne out by. sworn state
ments on operating costs required by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
In his reply President Wilson said:
II have considered carefully the sew
eral kilograms to me dealing with the
labor questions and railroad manage
ment now under consideration by the
Railroad Labor Board in Chicago. The
transportation act, approved February
%, 1920, to a great extent than any
previous legislation, places all Ques-
tiOns dealing with finances and rail-
road management and necessary rates
under the Jurisdiction Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission hence all ques-
tions involving the expense of opera
ton, the necessities Of the railroads
and the amount of money necessary to
secure the successful operation thereof
now are under the jurisdiction Of the
commission. At the same time the act
placed all questions Of dispute between
carriers and their employees and subor-
dinate officials under the jurisdiction
of the Railroad Labor Board, now sit
