Photographs Reveal Much OF
Rugged Personality.
Present Generation Need Not, as In
the Case of Washington, Look
for Character m Portraits.

Abraham Lincoln remains, and will
remain, one of the most important
possessions of the common people
everywhere partly because his rugged
personality is so difficult for either
writer's or sculptors TO standardize.
Fortunate it is for US that he lived
In an age of photography although
no sensitized plate can reveal the
entire mystery, the camera does not

get before the eyes of their minds
what George Washington was like.
The Lincoln who looks out from
the pictures that have come down to
US was caught In moments for which
no SOLICITORS friends had the oppor-
tunity to see that his clothes were
pressed or that every stray lock Of
hair was plastered down And so

oh, so very far away!
Heroes on a pedestal serve the
present almost as little as ashes in
an urn. The trouble is not that they
lacked human nature, but that those
who look for help are repealed by the
cold marble which has been placed
about them.
The greater lesson of Lincoln, the
