of the Tribune tracts and was issued
q few months later in an annotated

Seward, whose knowledge of the coun-
try has never been questioned, had
covered so great and varied terri

be added that Lincoln supplemented
his tirst-hand observation of different
sections by a careful reading of num-
be of newspapers, including the Week

curry, and that he knew personally
many political leaders of both parties

a member of Lincoln's cabinet. In his

character Of the South, very impor-

undoubtedly far better equipped than
any other of the Republican candi-

REAL GREATNESS
BEYOND LEGEND
History Will Know Lincoln
as Patient, Kindly, Wise,
Foreseeing Man."

Perhaps the one thing to fear for
Lincoln's greatness Is the growth OF
legend about 1t. There is no doubt
there Is such an incrustation forming
upon his fame, and II that process is
active so soon after his death, what
must be Its progress in the centuries
to come? What must his real great
ness suffer from It? Not in the inter-
est of history alone, but in that of
the name and fame of one of the
greatest and wisest OF Americans, 1t
ought TO be the concern of those who
are almost his contemporaries TO ar
rest this growth, to remove 1t so far
as 1t has already obscured the genu-
inc and solid substance beneath and to

insist that the qualities that made
. Abraham Lincoln what he was are suf-
flcient to preserve him, as Edwin M.
Stanton said, for the ages.
The reason why Lincoln's greatness
lends itself to legend are plain enough.

could not have been led by the great

poet. If Lincoln had bsen all of these
and nothing more he must have failed.
Hating slavery he dared not strike it;
the North was not ready, Hating war
he dared to make 1t, yet had to make
it gently-often a fatal thing and all
most fatal then; his task was to hold

which to do and first and last did
both. He had to and leaders for the

foes in his own party, to fight battles
when victory was almost as terrible
as defeat in this war of brothers, to
shed civil blood and yet preserve the
nation and to lead at last the public
epiai0a of the North to the inevitable
necessity of emancipation. "This pa

accomplished the task, and history'S
tribute to him must be the recognition
that Q Seward, a Chase, Stanton, a
Grant could NOT have done it. Lin
coin led the North slowly because the
North would be led no other way. A
swifter military success might have
been obtained by Napoleon, but
military success achieved before the
North had learned that the war could
end only in the destruction of its
cause would not have preserved the
Union.
Lincoln will grows growing-with
the knowledge of his countrymen that
his true greatness was In these quail

WELL QUALIFIED
FOR HIGH OFFICE
Lincoln's Travel and Study
Made Him conversant
With Problems.

BY d. X. DODGE, University of Illinois.
The claim has been made recently
by distinguished northern historian
that at the time Of his election Lin
coins knowledge of public affairs was
limited and that he knew very little
of the country through personal con-
tact. According TO this authority,
hincoin's single term in congress was
snegliblef and, with the exception of
trip to New Orleans in his youth,
he had spent most of his time in his
own state.
Unfortunately concentrations of this
sort, especially when they are made
by men who are supposed to know
what they are talking about, are con-
vincing to the average reader, who is
unable to check up on the writer. Let
US consider how far this particular
generalization is justified by the facts,
or rather, whether there are any facts
TO justify It. It Is true that most

After waiting three hours in the of
flee, they told me to start to work the
next day at a. m. at so cents an hour.
My work was in the foundry where
heat, dirt, dust and smoke was dense.
On Saturday afternoon p. M, when
we were thru work and ready to go
home, the foreman told us to work
eight hours overtime.
Some of the workers agreed to do
so. Four Of US decided not to work,
as we were too tired and there was
no extra pay for the overtime. In
the name Of the four of US, told the
foreman that we do not want to work
overtime.
The foreman was so mad that he
fired us Immediately.
He gave US our time slip and called
four company cops, who threw us into
