Birthday Of Abraham Lincoln It is not surmisine; that the gaunt figure of Abraham

Lincoln looms so large in the perspective of history because his rnrper was an exaltation of the virtue of humility. He

himself scarcely recognized, his greatness. '

The man who was president of the United States during

fcur Years cf fratricidal strife regarded himself as an mstru

ment in the hands cf Providence. America has produced no

statesman less egotistical in manner.

The Lincoln saga lias been told and retold and the hero

does not lose prestige in the telling. Four years before the

fateful year of 1861. he was an obscure lawyer in a country

town, a politician who had served one term in Congress only to be beaten for re-election.

The Lincoln-Dcuglas debates lifted Lincoln from the

shadow of oblivion into the spotlight of national affairs. Los

in g the senatorial election, he won the presidency. ,

Lincoln, the spiritual heir of Andrew Jackson, had none

of Jackson's fierceness. Hating war. he made war. Not for

him the gaudy trappings of militarism; surrounded by generals in gold braid and blue, he clung to the simple black which later formed his funeral shroud.

The sneers, the jeers, the malicious gossip about Lincoln

must have been hard for even so patient a man to bear without striking back at his critics. Perhaps the memory of the

sluie cast at Lincoln will in time inspire Americans to culti

vate the virtue of tolerance. ,

Abraham Lincoln, Humorist In addition to his greater talents, Abraham Lincoln had a gift

that, were lie alive today, and not employed in government, wouia

have made him a fortune ai a gagUvriter for radio comedians. In

sisting that he never coined any of his famous stories, he neverthe

less had what the best of the radio humor writers have today, an ar

tistic ability to rearrange, condense, rephrase and sharpen folk -jokes

and comic situations into a form that was all his own.

His stories were helped immeasurably, when he told them, by his

own amazing talent for quizzical, droll comedy a delivery perhaps

as funny as Mark Twain's, a use of facial expression perhaps a3 ir

resistible as Charlie Chaplin's.

He practically never employed humor except to illustrate a

point that had come up in conversation and he apparently used a

drawl for comic effect. Nevertheless, the point of his humor characteristically came with the same crisp, crackling speed used by the highest salaried gag-writers today. Lloyd Lewis, Author of "Myths

After Lincoln," and other Civil War biographies.

Wanted me to run an Item on how Lem Martin's dog- had raided hia chickens again, and ought to be put away by law., I told him: "Lem was in on Saturday. Said you shouldn't be allowed to keep those chickens so close to his house and in a residsntial zone, at that." Thad shuts up right pronto then. And that very evening I sea him making his peace with Lem

at Andy Botkin's Garden Tavern over a friendly glass of beer. From where I sit, anyone can find something in his neighbor to complain about. (Some folks may even disagree with Thad's right to enjoy that glass of beer with Lem !) But where would we be if everybody tried to hare a law passed against everything they disagreed with? We wouldn't; have many neighbors left!
