It ought to have. He has accomplished
more in the direction in which he set
his face and his mind than any other

Seward, who had for years toiled to
subordinate Lincoln. finally wrote to
his wife: Executive skill and vigoF
are rare qualities. The President is
the best Of u.s."
On July 80, 1863. Lincoln, issued a
public letter, designed especially for
the soldiers and sympathizers Of the
COnfederacy:
ut 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
States killed In violation Of the
laws Of war, rebel soldier shall
be executed; and for every one en-
shaved or sold into slavery, a rebel
soldier shall be placed at hard
labor on the public works.
Promised Glory for All Officials.
/ look upon this order as the least
representative sentence In Lincoln's
entire life story and doubtless it was
inspired by the usages of war and came
as cabinet measure.
Another message to his cabinet
shows how he guided them and con-
stantly reminded them of broad patri-
otism. II reads:
1T viii require the utmost skin,
influence and sagacity of all of us
to save the republic. Let US for
get ourselves and join hands like
brothers to save the republic. II
we succeed there win be glory
enough for all. n

of the civil war said Lincoln Is o

Lincoln was assassinated: Lincoln Is

Lincoln Was Not
So Mild and Meek
Great Liberator C6,rI.d Bare
Teeth and Figb eden
Necess9 -,

BY PROF. B. }. cleRANp, In Chicago
Evening American.


There is tendency Ia 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.
1t 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
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
would grab the official by the coat
collar and bring him back to the
straight and narrow path Of Lincoln
ideas.
Lincoln's manner of dealing with
men was entirely different from that
Of any other president.
He even ran after" General Nc
C1ellan and permitted offensive CORE
spondence and no end Of "slights. to
come to light. But Lincoln. like an
lnduigent father, could. when tie
proper moment came. call a halt and
take some Of the officials Gin the wood

To show he was not intimidated.
give a copy of a letter which he read
at a cabinet meeting during the time
when Stanton. Chase and Seward were
secretly condemning one another and |
suggesting removals so that they might |
all the better conduct their campaign |
to prevent Lincoln's reelection and seat
themselves.
The letter reads:
Unjust be the judge how long to
retain In, and when to remove any
Of you from his position. II would
greatly pain me to discover any Of
you endeavorlng to procure an
others removal, or. In any way, to
prejudice him before the public.
Such endeayor would be wrong
to me and much worse wrong to
the country. My wish Is that on
this subject no remark be made.
nor question asked by any of you,
here or elsewhere. now or here
after"
One day early In LincoIn's admins
ration, Mrs, Lincoln said to him:
cit Is common rumor about the cap
tai that Seward and not you win be
he president-that he win rule you"
He replied:
Il may not rule myself, but certain
y Seward shall not. Tie only ruler
have Is my conscience, following God
n Il, and These men win have 90 learn

At another time Lincoln WAS visited

" Thad Stevens. who burst In on LIN
DIN with the accusation:

Lincoln asked: ~About how Ear from

Stevens sharply replied: Il would

FIGHTING HEART OF
WILSON IS STILLED
END CONES PEACEFULLY TO
AMERICAS GREATEST WAR
PRESIDENT
HEALTH BROKEN BY WAR WORK
Treaty Of Versailles and Kaleidoscope
Speaking Trip Advocating League Of
Nations Remote Cause Of Death

Washington. = Former President
Woodrow Wilson, twenty-eighth presi-
dent Of the United States. commander
in chief Of the national forces during
the World War and sponsor OF the
League Of Nations and Treaty Of YER
sallles. died at his home here, where
he has been virtual retirement for four
years, at IL 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, February 8.
The end came peacefully. Life
ebbed away while he slept the sleep
Of exhaustion from a weeks illness fol-
lowing a digestive disturbance which
reached an acute stage on February 1.
Physicians statements are to the eff
feet that the remote causa IT his death
was the III health he had suffered for
four years when he broke down upon
a 10000 mile speaking trip advocating
the adoption OF the League Of Nations
following the trials and disappoint-
ments OF the Paris conferences that
led to the signing Of the Treaty Of
Versailles.
Watchers at the bedside, where
death had been momentarily expected
for several days, were prepared for
the passing. The tired, worn out man
drew a long breath. there was a slight
rutter Of the eyelids and an almost
twltching of the nostrils
and the soul was gone
In the street before the square brick
house people in great numbers knelt
upon the pavement and prayed. II
was the most solemn death watch. and
the most impressive, since a similar
prayed for the martyred
Lincoln.
Twenty-eighth president of the
United States, and the first Democrat
iince Jackson to serve two successive |
erms, Woodrow Wilson occupied the |
presidency during eight years of such |
work upheaval and turmoil that his
proper place In history cannot be as
signed him. He ranks as one Of the
Greatest war presidents Of American |
history and his Influence In world az
airs was such that his is an inter
rational rather than a national figure.
After leaving the White house in
921 Woodrow Wilson lived the re-
ired life OF q man of letters. His
Dublic appearances were few. and his
'ublic utterances were highlights In
POLITICAL crislses. He lived alone with
lis wife In n comparatively modest
Ome for n man Of his position in
rOrld affairs. his daily routine such
s to preserve him as long as possible
rom the slowly encroaching exhaus-
on that finally caused his death.
The 10000 mile speaking trip that
rought abott his breakdown four
ears ago, began on September 3, 1919.
,ss than two months after he returned
'om Paris, and the Kaleidoscope sue
asslon of trying public functions, with
lore than 40 addresses, proved too
Iuch for the strength already sapned
7 the rigors Of peace council sessions

The great spirit broke in San Fran

The current meetings of the ma jor
league club owners have been with

may end today when the owners OF
the two leagues get together and
try to decide the date for the next

scheduled to preside over joint
meeting of the two leagues today

the fight has to 'be, postponed. (
The club owners are to meet this
afternoon. The commissioner S see

the American league to adjourn
until after the holidays. The Ma
tional league will insist that the
meeting be adjourned until Saturday
in Chicago. The commissioner may

the date depends upon his convent
