ANARCHY SEED
IN SECESSION

WASHINGTON. May 31.-"Main-
tanned union and nationality"
rather than emancipation" was de-
clared to be the supreme chapter
in American history by President
Harding in an address yesterday ac-
cepting the Lincoln memorial in be-
half of the American people. Lin
coin would have compromised with
slavery, Mr.. Harding declared, while
cleaving to his great purpose-the
maintenance of the inheritance
handed down by the founding
fathers"
The President said, in part:
1T is a supreme satisfaction off,
cially to accept on behalf of the
government this monument TO the
savior Of the republic. No official
duty could be more welcome, no Off
cial function more pleasing. This
memorial edifice is a noble tribute,
gratefully bestowed. and in its Of
fering is the reverent heart of
America: in its dedication is the
consciousness OF reverence and
gratitude beautifully expressed.
Somehow my emotions incline 20
me to speak simply as a reverent
and grateful American. rather than
one in official responsibility. AL
though a half century has passed
since his service and his martyrdom.
IN every moment OF peril, in every
hour OF discouragement. whenever
the clouds gather. there is an image
of Lincoln to rivet our hopes and
to renew our faith. Whenever there
Is a glow of triumph over national
achievement, there comes the re-
minder that but for Lncoln's he
rolc and unalterable faith in the
Union these triumphs could not
have been. There Is varied empha-
sis in the portraiture of words. but
all are agreed about the rugged
greatness and the surprising ten
derness and unfaillng wisdom Of this
master martyr.
History Is concerned with the
things accomplished. Biography
deals with the methods and the in
dividual attributes which led to ac-
somplishment.
The supreme chapter in history
is not emancipation though that
achievement would have exalted
Lincoln throughout all ages. The
simple truth Is that Lincoln, recog-
nizing an established order would !
have compromised with slavery that |
existed. II he could not have halted |
its extension.
He believed in maintaining invio- |
late the rights OF the states. but he |
believed no less firmly in the per-
petuity Of the union OF the states. |
The union having beer connected, !
could not be dissolved except by |
consent OF all parties to the con-
tract. He recognized the conflict |
ing viewpoints, differing policies and |
coDtroverted questions. But there
we're constitutional methods OF set
tlement, and these must be en-
pioyed.
I'm the first inaugural address he
stressed the great general principle
that IN our constitutional controver-
sles we divide into maJorities and
minorities. II the majority will Sc
cede rather than acquiesce. II makes
a precedent which in turn will d.
vide and ruins. Secession is the es-
sence OF anarchy.

claiming deliberate public opinion

A double set of condolences has
cropped up in connection with the
preseptation by the Equity Players at
the Forty eighth Street Theater on
Christmas night of why Not?" This
comedy is by Jesse Lynch Williams,
as every one ought to know by now,
and is ostensibly his own answer to
his own previous play, why Marry?'
1t 80 happens that a play of the same
title, why Not?" though of different
import, is to be presented at about
the same time by the dramatic club
of Williams College. so you can see
how fearfully complicated life Will be

The author of the sketch is Van II
Cartmell. Jr. son of the late Van II
Cartmell, president of the Kelly Spring
field Tire Company, who is in the
banking business with Bonbright &
Co, and therefore naturally turned
his attention to the stage. He and
Mr. Williams have put their heads to-
gether over the matter already, but
so far nothing has been done about II
for the good of the drama. The Cart
nell playlet was played in vaudeville
about four years ago under the title
"A Wife Wanted" besides being pre-
sented by various amateur societies,
and when an amateur club in Phila-
delpha put on a piece with similar
title two years ago young Mr.. Cart
nell had good time spoofing them
