first Inaugural, he quoted and re.
Iterated his own oft-repeated ut
terance 'I have- no purpose dl
rectly or Indirectly to Interfere
with the Institution of slavery In
the states where it exists. I be
lieve I have no lawful right to do
so, and I have no inclination to do
so.' He believed In maintaining
inviolate the rights of the states,
but he believed no less .firmly in
the perpetuity of the union of the
si la tea. The union, having been
contracted, could not be dissolved
except by consent of all parties to
the contract. He recognized the
conflicting viewpoints, differing
policies and controverted ques
tions. But there were constitu
tional methods of settlement and
these must be employed.
"In the first Inaugural address
he stressed the great general prln
clple that:
Fundamentals Stressed
"In our constitutional contro
versies we divide into majorities
and minorities. If the minority
will not acquiesce, the mlajorlty
must, or the government must
cease. There is no other alterna
tive, for continuing the govern
ment is acquiescence on one side or
the other. If the minority in
such case will secede rather than
acquiesce, they make a precedent
which in turn will divide and ruin
them. Plainly the central idea of
Cessation is the essence of anarchy.
The majority held In restilaint by
constitutional checks and limita
tions, and always changing easily
with deliberate changes of popular
opinion and sentiments la the only
true recourse of a free people.
Whoever rejects It, does of neces
sity fly to anarchy or despotism.
"Here spoke the statesman, pro
claiming deliberate public opinion
as the supreme power of civiliza
tion, easily to be written in to law
when conviction should command.
It ought to be tonic to the waning
confidence of those ofrtoday who
grow impatient that emphasized
minority views are not hurried
Into the majority expressions of
the republic. Deliberate public
opinion never falls. Later, closing
his first Inaugural, when anxiety
gripped the nlUion, there spoke
"the generous, forgiving, sympa
thetic man of undaunted faith:
Lincoln's Plea Vain
' 'I am loath to close. We are
not enemies but friends. We must
not be enemies. Though passion
may have strained, It must not
break our bonds of affection. The
mystic chords of memory, stretch.
Ing from every battlefield and
patriot grave, to every living hcfart
and hearthstone, all over this
brttad land, will yet swell the
chorus of the union, when again
touched, as they surely will be, by
the better angles of our nature.'
"But he appealed in vain. Paa
slon was flame and vifar was made
the arbiter. Americans fought
Americans with equal courage and
valor. There was an ambiguity In
the constitution which only a
baptism in blood could efface.
One may only speculate on what
(.mother might have done, but fate
seems to have summoned the one
great hero best fitted to lead to
the union's salvation.
"His faith was Inspiring; his
resolution commanding, his sym
pathy reassuring, his simplicity
enlivening, his patience uhfulllng.
He was 'faith, patient and courage,
with his head Itbove the clouds,
unmoved by the storms which
raged about his feet.
Bitterly Assailed
"No leader was ever more un
ttparingly criticised or more bit
terly assailed. He was lashed by
angry tongues and ridiculed In
pross and speech until he drank
fro mas bitter a cup as was ever
put to huirhn lip, but his faith
was unshaken and his patience
never exhausted. Boms one sent
me recently an illumined and
framed quotation which fell from
his lps when the storm of criticism
was at Its height:
" 'If I were trying to read,' he
aid, 'much less answer all the at
tacks made on me, this shop might
as well be closed for (any other
business. I do the best I know
how, the very best I can; and
mean to keep on doing It to the
end. If the end brings me out all
right; what Is said against me
will not amount to anything. If
the end brings mo out all wrong,
. ten angela swearing I was right
would make no difference.
"He knew, of course, before the
assassin robbed him of fuller real
i.fitlon that the end was bringing
him out all right. He knew when
nworas were sneatea ana guns
laid down that the union he saved
was riveted anew and made for
ever indissoluble."
Knew Nation Preserved.
"He knew that in the great cru
cible of fire and blood the dross
had been burned from the disdi
rected patriotism o.( seceding
states and the pure gold restored
tobln!ng stars In dear Old Glory
again. He knew he had freed a
race of bondmen and had given to
the world tbe costly proof of the
perpetuity of the American union.

that he might somehow know of I

oecause of the inherent righteous
ness of his cause and the sublim

inspired belief in the republlo in
its historic beginning; Lincoln
proved its quality in the heroic
preservation. The old word had
wondered about the new world ex

proclaim its futility when the
Civil war was threatening; but
Lincoln left tbe union unchal

Not ouly was our nation given

love of all Americans to founder

Lincoln was a very natural human
being, with the frailties mixed
with the virtues of humanity
There are neither supermen nor
demi gods in the government of
kingdoms, empires or republics. It
will be better for our conception
of government and Its institutions
If we will uaderntand this fact. It
is vastly greater than finding the
superman, if wo Justify the con-
uuence mat our institutions are
capable of bringing into author
ity. In time of (stress men big
enough and strong enough to meet
all demands.
"Washington and Lincoln offer
ed outstanding proof that a repre
sentative popular government,
constitutionally founded, can find
its own way to salvation and ac
complishment. In the very begin
ning our American democracy
turned to Washington, the arlsto-
to bis memory crat, for leadership In resolution
throughout the world, and thatjand greater task of founding per

of Washington and Jefferson and
Hamilton and Franklin was prov
en when Lincoln, the child of pri
vation, of hardship, of barren en
vironment and meager opportun
ity, rose to unquestioned leader
ship when disunion threatened.
Had Purpose to Succeed.
"Lincoln came almost as hum
bly as the child of Bethlehem. His
parents were unlettered, his home
was devoid pf every element ot
culture and refinement. He was
no Infant prodigy, but he had a
uoa-given Intellect, a love for
work, a willingness to labor and
a purpose to succeed.
"Biographries differ about his
ambition, but Herndon, who knew
him as did no other, says he was
greatly ambitious. I can believe
that. Ambition is a commendable
attribute, without which no man
succeeds. . Only Inconsiderate am
bition perils.
Lincoln Was Modest.
Lincoln was modest, but he was
sure of himself and always greatly
simple. Therein was his appeal to
tue confidence of his country,
When he believed he was right a
nation believed to be rieht. and
oirerea an in his support.
His work was so collossal. in
the face of such discouragement,
tnat no one will dispute that he
was Incomparably the greatest of
our presidents. He came to au
thorlty when the republic was be
set by foes at home and abroad,
and re-established union and se
curity. ' He made that gesture of
his surpassing generosity which
began re-union.
"Let us forget the treachery
corruption and Incompetence irn
which he had to combat and recall
his wisdom, his unselfishness, his
sublime patlenoe. He resented no
calumnies upon himself; he held
no man his enemy who had the
power and will to serve the union,
his vision was blinded by no Jeal
ousy. He took his advisers from
among his rivals, -invoked their
patriotism and Ignored their plot
tings. He dominated them by the
sneer greatness of his Intellect
tne singleness and generosity of
his purpose and made them re
sponsive to his hand for the ac
compllshment of the exalted pur
pose. Amid it all there was a
gentleness, a kludness, a sympa
thetic sorrow, which suggests a
divine Intent to blend mercy with
power in supreme attainment.
No Tributs Sufficient
