CAPTAIN, MV CAPTAIN!
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."

AHHAIIAM LINCOLN.
Sonio days In school wheu teacher

And say them all from Washington

I have to stop and clear my throat,

K'on though tho teacher whlspors
"Shnmo!
Can't you remember. Jim?"
Cnn't I romomhor him?

And homely, tort, and tall and shy,
And ho wns bravo and made his

When I think what ho darod to do
I Just vow I'll do something too.

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.
