This 1b Wait Whitman' famous poem on tho death of Abraham Lin coln. It Is the only rhymed poem In tho complete work of the great Amorlcnu poet, philosopher and seer, and It Is only partly In rhyme. Dur ing much of the war Whitman was In Washington, ministering to the -wnntH of sick and wounded soldiers in hospitals. Lincoln saw him or day and remarked, not knowing h!m nt tho time, "He looks like cue of Plutarch's men." 0 CAPTAIN! My Cnptnln!

We he was just as poor as I And homely, tort, and tall and shy, And ho wns bravo and made his pin co Cltmbod to tho top and freed a race.

Tho beggar I HE passing yenrs add lustre to THE COOS BAY TIMES, HARSHFIELD, OREGON, than over before. In mnny states the governors hnvo Issued proclamations nnd declared a holiday. It Is right and proper that one day should be dedicated to that well loved name. And the beat use we can mnke of that tiny Is to draw from the exalted char acter of Lincoln an Inspiration to liplp us. each and all. In the discharge of duty. His wa the greatness of flnipllcity. sincerity and consecration to hi work. Hi virtue were con splcuons because of hi exalted place but they were greater than hi posi tion. An emulation of those virtues which, are within the reach of us all. would be the greatest honor we could bestow upon his revorod mem ory. The Ideals which grow form nnd substance In the personality of Lin coln should be our measure of good citizenship. From n study and n knowledge of his life wo may learn best to meet tho obligation which we as cltlzons, owo to town stnto and nation. It has been well said that Lincoln wns not a type. "Ho stands alone no ancestors, no fellows, nnd no fct.ccessor." In his eloquent trlbuto to .Lincoln's memory Ingersoll aptly characterized him ns the "gentlest memory of our world." He said: "Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It Is easy for tho wonk to bo gontlo. Most peo ple can bear adversity, nut If you wish to know whnt n man really Is, give him iiower. This Is the supreme test. It I the glory of Lincoln that, having nlmcst absolute powor, he never abused It. except upon the side of mercy. Wealth could not pur chase, power could not nwe. . . . this loving innn. Ho knew no fear except tho fear of doing wrong. Hat ing slavery, pitying the mnstor seeking to conquer, not persons, hut tirejudlces ho wns tho embodlmont of the self-denial, tho courage, tho hope and the nobility of n nation. He spoke not to Inflame, not to unbrnld, but to convince. Ho raised his hnnds. not to strike, but In benedic tion. He longed to pardon. He loved to sec tho pearl of Joy on tho cheeks of a wlfo whose husbnnd he hnd rescued. . . .Lincoln wns the grandest figure of tho civil wnr. He Is the gentlest memory of our world." THE WOItLD'S Git EAT NEED. THE world has n hard tlmo find ing n euro for Its ills. It searches for It high nnd' low; It sonrchoa for It fnr nnd wide. It seeks it In education; It seeks It In legislation; It seeks It In right eousness; It seeks It along mnny other nronucs, and has sought It mnny, many yenrs, hut does not seem to And It. Yet 2,000 yenrs ago humanity's Great Friend pointed out tho way to world penco and hnpplness when Ho said: "A new commandment glvo I un to you, thnt ye iovo ono another; as I havo loved you, thnt ye Iovo one nnother." Education helps tho world much, but If It wero tho solution for tho world's problems, they would hnve beon solved by Plato long ago. If legislation wore aufllclent, Mosos' Inw giving would hnvo suincod thou sands oi years ooiore mat. u riglit- ooubiiosb nlono wero enough, then John's offorts to rogonornto Jerusa lem by righteousness would havo lioen onouxh. Hut nil thoso reme dies havo fnllod. as has overy othor remedy thnt did not go to the source of the world's troubles the unkind- net ami inhumanity of men nnd their laek of love for each other. The world's search for eomploto happiness is typtlled In the search of Sir Lauiifnl. traditional knight of old, for that mythical boon of man kind, the Holy Orall. Sir Lnunfal set nut, a splendid knight, "In hU glided mall, that flamed so bright;" ho was so young and strong nnd good thnt It seemed he must succeed. As he passed out of his castle gate. n bsnr. a wretched lepor. crossed his path and asked for bread. Sir I.aiufal't heart filled with lonthlng, and he flung him n piece of gold In scorn, then rode on. There followed years of vain searching for tho Holy Grail. Sir Lnunfal found It not, though ho rode through northern cold nnd southern heat; though ho sonrchod In moun tnln wilds and desert wastes. Rent I with tho wolght of yenrs, sick, rag- god, Sir Lnunfal ended his quest long nftor at the threshold of his castle, now closed against him. There ho again met n beggar, n loathsome leper, nut this timo he 1 L l. .., 1 1. t. J was transformed nnd ho spoko In words of wondrous sweetness ns he said: "Heboid! It is hero this cup which thou didst 1111 nt the streamlet for mo hut now." Though the wnrld, like Lnunfal, seek everywhere else for Its boon of happiness. It will And it only In friendliness nnd love. The gront need of the world Is It nood of broader sympathy of nil men for each other; out of that will come better understanding, lens strife, more happiness, nnd only through thnt.
