T1IK outstanding tiling about Lincoln was this: He combined the greatness of genius, with the virtues common to mediocrity. He has been called the typical American, lint he was, unfortunately, not typical. He was exceptional. He was the ideal American. Amer- ica will probably produce about as many Lincolns as Grand Canyons of the Colorado. But while Lincoln was not a typical American, he can be callcc typical of America. That is to say, he could have been produced nowhere but in America. This obscure backwoodsman, without means education, family, or prestige, would in any other country, have lived and died in squalor and obscurity. But the free forces of Democ racy" stimulated by 4 crisis which demanded greatness, placed this uncouth and unlettered country lawyer in the place of highest emi nence by penetrating through the surface to the soul and heart and wisdom that the crisis demanded.. So Lincoln stands as the greatest monument to Democracy, and its inherent superiority that history has disclosed. But while be possessed those homely, wholesome virtues, which usually accom pany only average attainments, he was far from being the indolent, easy-going, victim ot great circumstances, which some ot his con temporaries maintained. There is one little known incident which clearly shows that under his casual exterior, there was a fighting spirit, iind a true capacity for leadership, whenever force and leader ship were demanded. ' After his election, but before his inauguration, there was a strong movement in the Republican party, and particularly aillong the big financial interests, to avert war, by restoring the Missouri compro mise, allowing the south to go her way, and the north to go hers. The filial form was known as the Crittenden Compromise. Edward Ever ett wrote to Crittenden "I saw with great satisfaction your patriotic movement, and I wish from the bottom of my heart it might succeed." August Belmont, representing the moneyed interests, wrote. "I have jet to meet the first Union-loving man in or out of polities, who does not approve your compromise proposition." Keward and Weed were sympathetic with this effort to avert war and travelled to Springfield to see Lincoln, and persuade him to ac cept some such course. Lincoln listened to their proposals, but with out a moment's hesitation refused point blank. More tlian that, he put his refusal in writing. , r This was li real crisis in the country's history. Tho cause was tit the branching of the ways. The temptation to temporize, to take the easy road, must havo been tremendous. But it was not with Lin coln a question of war or peace, but a question of right or wrong, and when the integrity of the union was concerned, there could be with him no compromise. And so tho die was cast, and from that moment Lincoln was the true leader, and the real master of his country's destiny. He never played that part. His deference, his patience, his humility, continued unabated. But in every real crisis, be acted with tho same force and decision, that ho exhibited at his home in Springfield, combining in that rare degree the unprctensious, half humorous, self-ef fa cement of t!ie non-elect, with the firm stroke of prophetic vision and supreme greatness. Rippl Walt Mafon THE BUSY BARD. 1 PUNCH my lyre to buy a lire or sparkplugs for my flivver; I sing n lay to purchase hay and gas and beans and liver. The poet knows but small repose, these days of stress and straining; ho works the muse for overshoes to wear when it is raining. lie swats tho harp to buy a carp to feed his aunts and nieces; he turns out loads of hot stuff odes, on ancient Romes and Creeces. And grocers say "That rhyming jay takes life so beastly easy, while we must hump or hit the dump, where go the bankrupts eheesey." Ami plumbers sigh, as they go by, "That poet's graft's a daisy; he merely sits and throws his fits, and he is fat and lazy; and wo poor ginks fix busted sinks and faucets that are leaking, aiid when we're done and ask our mon, the patron's always shriek ing." As people walk I hear tlieni talk about tho .snap I'm own ing; I Ibask at ease and write my wheeze while working men are groaning. But oh, the times when decent rhymes won't come, for all my trying, when my old dome won't frame a pome that men might call undying! The barren days when cheer-up lays it seems, cannot be written ! The ghastly nights when he who writes is by the brain-fag smitten ! 6h, then the bard would deal in lard, or plumb with plumbers, gayly, if he could soak the harp whose smoke has risen yearly, daily. What Harding Must Do to Have a Lincoln Inaugural CllICAdO, Feb. 12. While Senator Uiirdlng's Inauguration as president of United Statos Is designed to follow nr- rangoniiMitH of Abraham Lincoln's in augural, tliero are features of IStll that fortunately will be missing in 1921. Instead of veterans of North nml South marching side by tilde ns they will next month, tho only military forces In the inaugural parade ot IStll were tho sappers and miners. The rest of the II. S. troops in tho capital wore stationed In different parts of the city to provide against emergencies. As the nation hovered on tho brink of lvI1 war, the great fear of tho author ities was that effort would be mado to Interfere with the ceremonies. If President Harding follows Lin coln's first Inaugural address in com pass, ho will do it in less than SOW) words. In that space Lincoln made Ills Plea for tho union and declared his intention to maintain It. Four years later Lincoln's second in augural was overshadowed by the procession of victories. Tho crowds were smaller than those In '61. Veter ans lunrched tn the parade and there was a brilliant array of officers In the city. A much commented on feature of the parade was a battalion of col ored troops and a colored lodge of Jlusons. t'hlltidelphiu was represented by Hororal flro companies with engines and two hose companies. Lincoln's second Inaugural address was dono in ii thousand words, but tho following part of It is still echo ing in American thought as pertinent to the world'B affairs of today: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as Hod gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish tho work we are in, to hind tip tho nation's wounds, and enre for him who shall have borne tho battle, and for his widow and or phans to do all which may achieve and cherish a Just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations On this great day the president's thought, as the thought of the nation, was with Its generals. Tho groat news on the day that Lincoln was inauRiirnt- oi ":o second time was that General Sherman had captured General Karly occupied Charlottesville, Va and was last heard from at Staunton, where nine years before, a war president to be, Woodrow Wilson was born. Tho Azotes were the first people to prepare cocoa as a bevcrago and to make chocolate from cocoa beans.

Prune Facts Lincoln The prune interests of Oregon are solidly behind the movement to make a success of Prune Week. The solidity of Interest is shown in the fact that no special brands are being mentioned with them, as it should be, it is Just "Eat Oregon Prunes." The papers of the state are loyally following the suggestion made in Gov ernor Olcott's proclamation, that they get behind the movement to force the sale of Oregon prunes through the ob servance of Prune Week, February 14th to 19th. The Oregon press Is always solid for Oregon and the prune industry being among one of the state's most impor tant ones, they are naturally strong for supporting it. It Is suggested that on the opening day of Prune Week, the most appro priate Valentine to be sent to a friend would be a box of Oregon prunes. Let us have a sane St. Valentine's day this year and incidentally eat Oregon prunes. To Seneca Fouts, Portland attorney, goes the honor of being the first per son to order Oregon prunes for local consumption since the movement for Prune Week started, and to William J. Plcpenbrlnk, Portland, for first or dering a shipment made outside of the state. Tho last mentioned order goes to Milwaukee, Wis. The Oregon Prune campaign com mittee, composed of some of the lead ing men In the state, has opened head quarters at 732 Morgan building, Port' land, where orders will be received for Oregon prunes at 10c per lb.. In quan tities of 100 lbs., and up, delivered, freight prepaid, to any railroad station In tho Btate; or at 11c per lb., In quantities of 25, 60 and 7S lbs., and up, delivered, prepaid by parcel post. TheBe are first class, average orchard run Oregon Italian prunes, packed only in 25 and 50 lb boxes. This movement Is non-profit making and is solely to aid an Oregon industry. Llnculli, our great martyr chief. With justice toward all and malice toward none. Whose heart was loaded with the greatest grief, Till the great cause was won. Hurrah! ' The cause Is won. Shouted the returned soldier, father and son, Laying up their saber and gun: Kut many homes were without this fun. The union Is saved and the cause is lost Mumbled the confederate soldier, Yes! They muttered, lost, lost, lost. Yes! We've paid the cost! But Lincoln soothed the hearts of the south, And closed many an angry mouth. They all loved our great leader, As much as father or mother, The crisis had come, Lincoln was shot. The nation was dumb. And all hearts cried out. They laid him there In the Illinois soil With honors great as any king, as loyal. All hearts went out In sympathy' for his toll For the nation's good and spoil. He will never bo forgotten In all times of war and peace; He shall forever hold his place In tho hearts of men. WINIFRED BORDEN, Washington School.
