Lincoln and Booze.
I am glad that the editor of the Ob
server has challenged my quotation
from Lincoln on the saloon. It gives
me an opportunity to refer to the mat
ter more fully. But I am surprised
that the editor did not know of the
Verily, he Is no posted on the liq
uor problem. This effort on the part
of the liquor trade to claim Lincoln
as a champion of their cause is old,
and the shamelessness and falsity of
It has been exposed. .
Now the facts are that Major Mer
wln, a near friend of Lincoln's testi
fies that he and Mr. Lincoln traveled
and spoke together In favor ' of a
prohibition amendment to the Illinois
constitution which Lincoln said would
"destroy destruction." Mr. Merwln al
so testifies that "Upon the last day of
the great President's life he called
at the White House, and In the brief
visit, Mr. Lincoln said: "Thfe next
great conflict will be for the abolition
of the liquor traffic."
The editor says this. can not be
found In any life of Lincoln. Is he
sure? Besides, even though It could
not. there would be no significance In
that If he is acquainted with Utera-J
ture he knows' that many facts and
many of the words of historical per
sonages are, not found In the publish
ed biographies. Any schoolboy , ought
to know that.
Was it not the most natural thing
for Mr. Lincoln to say to his friend,
with whom he had worked for that
amendment Just wtiat Mr. Merwln says
he did? And this is in harmony with
the whole life and all his sentiments
and Ideals. Lincoln promised . his
dying jnothr that he would . never
drink intoxicating liquors and when In
congress he declared that he had
faithfully kept his promise. In the
presence of Judge Weldon Mr. Lin
coln said to Mr. Douglas when he of
fered him a drink, "No, I have gone
without It so long nowa that I think
I will never begin." '
It hrtold by Mr. C. C. Coffin who
was present that when Mr. Lincoln
was notified of his nomination for
the presidency that he said to the geni
tlemen who bore to him the message,
"You must be thirsty after your long
ride. You will find a pitcher of water
In the library." Mr. Coffin also says
that the friends of Mir. Lincoln pro
posed to furnish the needed liquors
for that occasion, in response to which
he said: "Gentlement, I thank you
for your kind Intentions, but must re
spectfully decline your offer. I have
no liquors In my house, and have nev
er been in the habit of entertaining
my friends In that way. I can not per
mit my friends to do for me what J
will not myself do. I shall provide
colds water nothing "else." And Mr.
Coffin says there were no wines or
liquors.
It has been established beyond all
doubt that Mr.. Lincoln was the author
of the following pledge; "Whereas,
the use of Intoxicating liquors as, a
beverage Is productive of pauperism,
degradation and crime, and believing
It Is our duty to discourage that which
produces more evil than good, we
therefore pledge ourselves to abstain
from the use of Intoxicating liquors
as a beverage." Mr. Lincoln held
meetings in , churches and school
houses where this pledge was present
ed to the people and they were asked
to sign it. And one of the noble acts
of Llncolns life was to lay his hand
lovingly upon the head of a farmers
boy and pledge him to a life of so
briety and abstinence. .
On the 22nd of February, 1842, in
In the Presbyterian church In Spring
field, Mr. Lincoln made "one of the
moBt remarkable temperance speech
es ever delivered." I will quote a few
sentences. "Turn now to the temper
ance, revolution. In it we shall find a
stronger bondage broken, a viler slav
ery manumitted, a greater tyrant de
posed ; in it more of want supplied
than disease heald, more sorrow as
suaged; by It no orphans starving, no
widows weeping." I am sorry that it
cannot be read by all my readers. You
might cease your support of the death
dealing saloon. :
General Porter in the Century tells
of a trip down the Potomac to visit
General Grant's army. Lincoln did not
feel quite well, perhaps he was a tri
fle sick and said so. In General Por
ter's own words:
"An officer of the party now saw
that an opportunity had arisen to
make this scene the supreme moment
of his life, In giving him a chance to
