A!! rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Lincoln, Unifier and Fundamentalist Among American presidents three are outstanding figures, Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt. Washington occupies a pinnacle all his own as the -great military leader and chief executive who, more than any other colonial was mainly responsible for founding our republic. Roosevelt is still of our own times and therefore too near for proper appreciation, with due egard to historical perspective. We feel his
greatness because we have experienced personally the qualities of his leadership. Properly and fairly to correlate him to the great forces and movements of our times, however, will best be done by historians of later generations. Lincoln, whose birthday we now honor, like Washington, occupies an imperishable and secure position in our great history. Every year adds to the grandeur and nobility of his character and leadership. He has gone on from mere national recognition to the position of being acclaimed by the civilized world as one of humanity's outstanding figures. v,; Washington the founder, Lincoln 'the unifier and consolidator of our nation. ; With his sword Lincoln cut the Gordian knot whose strands, secession and slavery, were throttling our great .mission for humanity With his wise words and .just and everlasting principles the breach between north and south has been healed and the .American commonwealth sent forward on its .mission for mankind. Lincoln was constructive in thought and deed. Born in poverty, he rose above it by his own efforts arid reached the greatest position his fellow Americans could bestow on him. As president his courage and ability brought the country through the blackest years of despair it has ever known. Particularly applicable to our times with all their radicalism, discontent and unwillingness to live and strive according to righteous principles, are these words of Lincoln: "Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; is a positive good in the world. That iiome should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is an encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently, and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." Americans believe and practice this principle
of Lincoln's, as he applied it in his rise from po
Lincoln's Greatness The nation commemorates today the anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, emancipator of a race, preserver of a republic, and acclaimed by liberty loving peoples everywhere as one of the colossal characters of history. Three scores of years hardly have passed since his death, and yet this offspring of a hardy pioneer family, elevated by the suffrage of his fellow men to the presidency, where he was more
misunderstood and misrepresented than any man
who ever sat in the chief executive's chair, today receives the grateful homage of th whole world. Of him, Lloyd George, at the unveling of a statue near Westminster Abbey, said:
, "He is an American no longer. He is one of those giant figures, of whom there are very few in. history, who lose their nationality in death. They are no longer Greek or Hebrew or English or American they belong to mankind. I wonder whether I will be forgiven for saying that George Washington was a great American, but Abraham Lincoln belongs to the common people of every land." What was the secret of the success of this remarkable man? Whence came the mighty impulses that surged through his soul and manifested themselves in principles of conduct and action that have elevated him to the highest peak of human greatness? The answer is a simple one, and because it is so obvious mankind overlooks or ignores it. Lincoln sought fundamentals, eternal principles, everlasting verities that abide inflexible and immutable despite the ravages of time and the attacks of evil and corrupt forces. No American statesman, no diplomat trained in the finesse of his art, excelled his grasp of eternal principles and his ability to express them so clearly that mankind could appropriate them instantly and act upon them. "Truth was the fundamental principle upon which he based every discussion as he grew in mind and morals," says John Wesley Hill, chancellor of Lincoln Memorial university, in his recent book, "Abraham Lincoln, Man of God." "He would not lie, nor permit his political opponents to lie. What is right? What is truth? were tests he always applied to the solution of social and political problems. Finding for himself the answers to these questions, no power could turn him from advocating the right and proclaiming the truth." Here, then, is the explanation of the career of this remarkable man. He sought justice and truth. He applied them to the solution of per
sonal and national problems

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up". AS "A. LINCOLN" Men of great knowledge never live so long in fame as those of great heart. This is not difficult to understand. For we live in a world of feeling, in a world of equal opportunities, but unequal distribution of them. If each man could arrive at the right opportunity with the same equipment as the other, then there would be equality of opportunity; The most extraordinary character in modern history is that of Abraham Lincoln. Few men ever came into the world with less opportunity. Born in the crudest sort of log hut, hidden in the backwoods, the boy was left motherless at the age of nine years. But the impress of her love was placed so deeply in his heart that years afterward he exclaimed that all he was or ever hoped to be he owed to her. To think of Lincoln today is to ponder on one of the strongest, though gentlest men who ever lived. He was all the time thinking of others. When they nominated him for the presidency of the United States,, word came to him in his office at Springfield, Illinois. Immediately he told his friends, "There is a little woman down the street who will want to hear about this!" Lincoln promoted his generals for their real worth, not for the mistakes they made. He was always tolerant, fair, forgiving, mindful of his own shortcomings, though never negligent in courage to act when he felt that the right time had come. Smiles often played in the deep wrinkles of his care-worn face. Sympathy bathed his whole gaunt frame. One evening as he sat signing scores of public documents, alone with a nurse in the sickroom f his youngest boy, the nurse asked him if he wouldn't sign his name for her, too. "Gladly," he said, "but I will just make it the way I like to sign it best as A. Lincoln!"

L1NCOLNIZE Abe Lincoln was the best-liked president this country ever had,
was because he was a fine man first and a good president afterward. Lincoln knew when to tell a joke, which is an art. He distributed an abundant supply of sympathy gratis, which is a gift. He always considered the other fellow's side of tly argument, which is a rarity. Lincoln had tast. He tittd a reservoir of humor. He had an inexhaustible stock of made-for-every-day-wear horse sense. He always kept his feet on the ground. Lincoln was dignified without being snobbish. He could talk, but he never wasted words. He was profound yet extremely simple and he never went over people's heads. Lincoln worked hard, but he played as hard as he worked. He could be stern as Caesar, but in the hour of trial he never lost his smile. He. often felt like getting cross, but when the atmosphere got too tense he told a funny story. And everybody laughed. Lincoln understood people and he never forgot he was one of them.
He was farsighted he could see everybody else's point of view. But he

Lincoln had no use for the shirker or the parasite. A man. he claimed, should receive only what he earned. He held that if the Almighty had intended some men to do all the eating and no working He would have made them with mouths only and no hands. And if He had intended others to do all the working and no eating He would have made them without mouths and all hands. Lincoln saw straight. His rule for accepting or rejecting a plan was not "does this contain any evil," but "does it contain more good than evil." Lincoln always extended a helping hand. He never pulled the ladder up after him. "Your thousand excuses for not getting along," he would say to aoologetic young men, "are all nonsense. They deceive nobody but yourself. Stop making excuses and make good!" Take this tip LINCOLNIZE!
