Post, for several years part owner of the old Oilman Hotel, pio neer soda-water man, oue-tlmo man ager of the Belvedere Hotel and n prominent Elk, was run over by a street car and probably fatally In lured at Los Angeles, night before laHt. News to th In effect wns recolv ed here, both In press dispatches and In private telegrams to bis sister-in-law, Mrs. O. William Webber. Mr. Wobber Is an accountnnt In the Flank of California. Post, tho dispatches state, tried to cross tho street In front of a rapidly moving car and was confused and blinded by the headlight. Ho was struck by the fender, dragged quite a distance, sus taining deep wounds to his head and severe Internal Injuries. His life Is despaired of. A later telegram to Mrs. Wobber says that an operation will be made as the last recourse to savo his life. Post, or "Nod," as his Intimate friends here called him, was ono of the first men to engage In the soda water business In the northwest, and was a member of the firm of Cottell Post. His first hotel venture wns at the Oilman House, then tho principal ho tel In the city, and headquarters tor traveling men. He was associated In tho proprietorship under the firm name of Scott ft Post. Later, when the hotel was acquired by Myers A Spurllng, he remained as manager, until this firm was dissolved by the death of Spurting. Later, misfortune in various wnyp overtook him. but ho remained in the hotel business until five or six years ago. part of the time as head clerk of the old Holton House and later clerk for Frits Slrobel and Charles Itarensterber. at the Belve dere.

"Lincoln saw Into the future with the prophetic Imagination usually vouchsafed only to the poet and the seer. He had In him all the lift to ward greatness of the visionary, without any of the visionary's fanat icism or egotism, without any of the visionary's narrow Jealousy of the practical .man and Inability to strive in practical fashion for the realiza tion of an ideal. He had the practical man's hard common sense and wil lingness to adapt means to ends; but there was In him none of that morbid growth of mind and soul which binds so many practical men to the higher things of life. No more practical man ever lived than this homely back woods IdeallHt; but he had nothing in common with those practical men whose consciences are warped until they fall to distinguish between good and evil, full to understalnd that strength, ability, shrewdness, wheth er In the world of business or of poli tics, oniy serve to make their posses sor a more noxious, a more evil mem ber of the community, If they are not guided and controlled by a fine and high moral aense. He never wavered In dovotlnn to his principles, In his love for the Union and In 'jIb abhorrence of slavery. Timid and lukewarm people wore always denouncing him because he was too extreme: but as a matter of fact he never went to extremes, he worked step by stcn: and because of this the extremist hated and denounc ed him with a forvor which now seems to us fantastic in Its deification oi tne unreal and the Impossible. At the very time when one side was holding him up as the anoBtle of so lai revolution because he was aeainst slavery, the leading abolitionist de nounced him as the "slave hound of llinols." When he was the second time candidate for president, the ma lorlty of bis opponents attacked him because of what they termed his ex treme radicalism, while a minority threatened to bolt his nomination be- auso he was not radical enouirh. He had continually to check those who wlBhed to go forward too fast, nt the very time that he overrode the oppo- mon or mose wno wished to eo for ward at all. The gonl was never dim before his vision; but ho picked his way cautiously, without ellhor halt or hurry, as he strode toward It. hrough such a morass of dlfllcultv that no man of less courage would nve attempted It. whllo it would mroly have overwhelmed any matt of utigmeni less serene. Yet perhnns tho most wonderful hlng of all, and, from the standpoint tho America of today and of the uture, the most vitally Imnortant. was tho extraordinary way in which incoin could light valiantly ngalnst hat he deemed wrong and yet nre- lerve undiminished his love and res- liect for the brother from whom ho differed. In the hour of a trlumoh that would have turned any weaker man's head. In the heat of a struggle which spurred many a good man to dreadful vlndlctlveness, he Bald truth fully that so long as he had been in his office he had never willingly planted a thorn In any man's bosom, and besought his supporters to study the Incidents of the trial through which they were passing as philos ophy from which to learn wisdom and not as wrongs to be avenged; ending with the solemn exhortation that, as the strife was over, all should re unite In a common effort to save their common country. He lived in days that were great and terrible, when brother fought against brother for what each sincere ly deemed to be the right. In a con test so grim the strong men who alone can carry It through are rarely aoio io uo justice to the deep con victions of those with whom they grapple In mortal strife. At such times men see through a glass dark ly; to only the rarest and loftiest spirits Is vouchsafed that clear vision which gradually conu-s to all. even to the lesser, as the struggle fades In to aistance, and wounds are forgot ten and peace creeps back to the nearts that were hurt. But to Lin coln was given this supreme vIbIoh. ne aid not hate the man from whom he differed. Weakness was as foreign as wickedness to his strong, gentle nature; but his courage was of a quality so high that It needed no bol muring oi aura, passion. He saw clearly that the same hlirh oualltlns the same courage, and wllllngnesB for soir-eacrince, and devotion to the right as It was given them to see tne right belonged both to the men of the North and to the men of the South. As the years roll by, and as an or ub. wnerever we dwell, grow to feel an equal pride In the valor and self-devotion, alike of the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray, so this whole nation will grow to feel a peculiar sense of pride in me migntiest or the mighty men who mastered the mighty davs: the lover of hiB county and of all man kind; the man whose blood was shed for the union of his people and for the freedom of a race, Abraham Lincoln."
