begged his lifelong friend, Max

Brod owed his late friend the

LINCOLN. WHO WAS
DEMOCRACY

The little creek still winds down the
tiny valley near Hodeenville, KY, the
spring still flows on the wooded hillside;
there ore even trees. standing there
which people like to believe were stond-
inc on the morning Of Feb. II. 1909.
There on that morning eount Tom
Lincoln wrapped beorskin rug about
his wife, Nancy Hanks, and set off on q
two-mile walk to the nearest neiehbor
to tell them that she had born son,
and thot they had decided to coll him
Abraham.
Be still for q moment, cannon; let
the tensed finger relax from the bomb
release while America turns mind and
heart to her greatest son. Abraham
Lincoln, whom a world has been glod to
coll one OF her greatest.
There is much tolk of democracy
today, and whole books are written to
define it and discuss it and belobor it.
What is democracy, anyway?
Why, it is really very simple. 1t is
the kind of condition in which q Lincoln
may be born and, being born, may be-
come what Lincoln became. Lincoln not
only understood democracy, procticed
democracy, breothed democracy = he
WAS democracy.
And with that curious felicity that
comes so rarely to men, he was able also
to define it in words so simple, SO direct,
so powerful, that they ore worth all the
books lesser men have written. In let
ter to q friend one day Lincoln wrote
this:
AS would not be sIove, so
would not be q moster. .Thot ex-
presses my ideo Of democracy.
Whichever differs from this, to the
extent Of the difference, is no de-
moevoey."
There on slide rule Of complete
accuracy Lincoln left means of meas
uring the claims and counter-cloins Of
all the men who bobble about whether
this country or that, this system or the
other, is truly democratic. One need
only measure the claims against this
plain stamford. Perhaps in no earthly
land ore men utterly free; perhaps in
all lands some men must have some de-
gree of mastery But in the extent Of
the difference" lies the key.
Lincoln not only lived q life thot
was Of, by, and for democracy. He left
us this beautiful simple rule-of-thumb
by which we can always unerringy
measure by how much we, or others,
foil short of the true democratic goal.
