Wall Street Interest Centers
On Outcome of Gold Battle

GUS companies, while bond indentures
were carefully checked for gold
clauses.
In general the findings seemed to
indicate that the railroads had showed
. greater preference for the gold
clause than either the industrials or
utilities.
Those who carried speculation on
an unfavorable Supreme Court de-
cision to the full extreme were quick
to see that an upward revision Of the
carrier debts would put Q weighty
burden on the railroads in particular.
One example cited was that Of the
Pennsylvania, which has about $780,
O00, 900 In gold bonds outstanding. An
adverse ruling by the court on the
gold clause would translate this debt
to $1,1s3, ,000, 900.

Incentives to finish stock for the

of $ll.50 q hundredweight for prime

here in four years.
Handicaps were a shortage Of corn

increase in prices in the last month.
As recently as three weeks ago small
pigs and calves were selling at 10

by farmers who had feed to Winter

Patience and Magnanimity
New York Tines

For seventy years students and his
torians have been searching all the
Lincoln records as with lighted can
die. They have discovered many
things Of which his contemporaries
were ignorant. They have corrected
OF destroyed several Lincoln legends.
His qualities a. Commander in Chief
Of the Army and Navy have passed
through sharp scrutiny and revision.
His sagacity as q politician has been
established at level higher than
most Of the men Of his time suspect
ed. There could not fail to have been,
In all this time Of inquiry and recol-
lection, surer and fuller drawing OF
the real Lincoln. But no new infor-
nation, no readings from private let
tiers and diaries or archives long held
secret have caused q change in the
appreciation Of his fundamental and
individual traits Of character.
These remain essentially unchanged.
Chief among them may be placed his
unfailing patience and his spontane-
Gus magnanimlty. He knew to bide
his time" He could not be hurried in
to the Proclamation OF Emancipation
before he felt that the time was ripe
for It. Patient with the course of
events, he was also patient with stupid
or perverse men. They amused him,
or sank him on occasion into deeper
melancholy, but they never brought
from him q flash Of anger nor did he
ever fall in treating hts political op-
ponents and public enemies with con-
sideration. Not In one Of his speeches
or public messages or, so far as We
know, In . private letter, did he ever
indulge In violent or revengeful Ian
guage about the men who. he believed,
were bent upon breaking up the
Union. He opposed them, he fought
them, but he did not rail- at them. In
wonderful contrast with some utter
ances that came from the South, his
words concerning the Confederacy
and its leaders were always magnani-
nous. It was m extraordinary dis
play Of his large and humane i'm
pulses.
It is this Lincoln character, as we'll
Is his fame for high achievement,
that abides after Ill these years. 1t
should be the study and the model for
our public men In times like those
through which we have been passing
for five years. What Lincoln would
have proposed In them as public
measures, We cannot know. but we do
know that he would have been long
suffering and iarge-minded.
