Stepped Out Of Beaten Path.
Seward, who had for years toiled to
subordinate Lincoln, finally wrote to
his wife: Executive skill and vigor
are rare qualities. The President Is
the best of u.s." ...
On July 80, 1868, Lincoln issued a
public letter. designed especially for
the soldiers and sympathizers of the
Confederacy:
at is the duty Of every govern
ment TO give protection to its citi-
zens and especially those who are
organized as soldiers in the public
service. 1t is, therefore, ordered
that for every soldier of the United
4 States killed In violation of the
laws of war, a rebel soldier shall
be executed and for every n en-
shaved or sold into slavery, a rebel
soldier shall be placed at hard
labor on the public works"
Promised Glory for All Officials.
l look upon this order as the least
representative sentence In Lincoln's
entire life story and doubtless it vas
inspired by the usages of war and came
as q cabinet measure. .
Another message to his cabinet
shows how he guided them and on
stantly reminded them of broad patri-
otism. 1t reads:
ut will require the utmost skill,
influence and sagacity of all of US
to ave the republic. Let us for
get. ourselves and join hands like
brothers TO save the republic. Ii
we succeed there will be glory
enough for ALL"
And Stanton, who, IN the early days
of the Civil war, said, Lincoln is a
fool, a low, cunning clown. The
original gorilla Du Chaillu, the nat
u~ralist, wandered all the way to Africa
in search of when he might have found
1t in Springfield. H." later said when
Lincoln was assassinated: Lincoln Ia
the most perfect ruler of men the world
has ever SEEN"

Lincoln Was Not

Necessary '.,>
BY PROF. q. J.. cieRAND, In Chicago
Evening American.

evening american.
There Is a tendency In recent writ
ings to picture Lincoln so mild and
meek that his red-bloodedness and his
emphatic methods of rebuke are lost
and the real value of the giant among.
men is destroyed.
Several recent biographies and many
oratiOns and magazine articles of late
years have given the impression that
Lincoln was not master Of his cabinet.
Ii is said he often laughed and told
stories when his serious opinion was
needed.
If any president endured intrigue at
the cabinet board, Lincoln did. Not a
single other man who ever sat in the
presidential chair would have per-
mitted the bold. personal campaigning
of his personal associates.
But Lincoln seemed to let these men
go on. gradually disclosing not only
to himself but the public their selfish
personal ambitions and then at the
right time and in an inimitable way he
wouN grab the official by the, coat
collar and bring him back to the
straight and narrow path of Lincoln
ideas. g.
Lincoln's manner of dealing with
men was entirely different from that
Of any other president.
He even ran after General Nc
Clellan and permitted offensive CORE
s%pondence and no end of Sights to
come to light. But Lincoln, like an
indulgent father. could, when the
proper moment came, call a halt and

at a cabinet meeting during the time
when Stanton. Chase and Sewa ard were
secretly ~condemning one another and
I suggesting removals so that they might
all the better conduct their campaign
to prevent Lincoln's reelection and seat
themselves.
The letter reads:

of you from his position. Ii would
greatly pain me to discover any of
you endeavoring to procure an
others removal. or, In any way, to

Such endeavor would be. a wrong
to me and much worse a wrong to
the country. My wish Is that on
this subject no remark be made,
nor question asked by n OF you.

One day early In Lincoln's admins
t~ration, Mrs. Lincoln said to him

He replied: v

AT another time Lincoln was visite,
by a congressional committee headed
by Thad Stevens, who hu.st in on Lin
coin with the accusation
