' Howe About: Lincoln Cause of Humiliations Genius * . l u l l S r a d ic a le — w w t; » .C .u * By E D H O W B /\ IlflAHAM IJN C O L .f was Pre«ld»-fit * * during a critical time, and «o f- rled a good deaL lie once eald: “If to be the head of b— I la aa h a rt a t what I hare had to undergo, I could And It iu my heart to pity Hatao lilrn- #elf.~ Httll f.lncoln was fur better off than million« of hla fellow citizens during the f l r l ! war. Think of the thousands of g ood Ctilun men starred In Ubby and Andcrson«llla prisons; of the hun­ dreds of thousands who were targets for enemy bullets; of ths millions who sufTered war privations. f.lncoln was at least occupying a public office pay­ ing 950,000 a year, and llred in a palace provided at public exj«enaw. Whether bis Judgment was good or bad. his salary went on, and all the time he was accumulating great fame. 3 he war h<>|»cleasly ruined many mil- Ilona, but made Uncoln rich and famous. H r hare heard of the poverty of hla widow; I read the other day she was a rich woman when «he died; and how little she deserved! I have no sympathy for the woes of statesmen on Uie public payroll. From I I' m !» millions of American# had bad luck that Abraham Lincoln might have their share of good luck. During hla four years In the White House, Lincoln should bar« dally thanked the gods. Instead of complain­ ing. I had an uncle George, with a young wife and baby at home, who had hard lock at Pittsburgh Landing that Abraham Lincoln might get $50,- UUO a year and endlras fame. e e e Let any man think of the greatest degradations and humiliations through­ out hla life, and 1 believe he must decide sex was at the bottom of most of them It Is the one thing we should endeavor to aubdoe and regulate, yet It la ths thing we regulate least, and let run wtld Our social system, our literature, encourage wildness In sex rather than regulation. The man bull Is forever permitted to bellow hla lust. Instead of locking him up until hla service« are needed. And Instead of trying to keep him quiet, the ob- Jecta of hla bellowing aggravate him all they can. • • • An envious dull man once said genius la It.«stilly, and other dull men have made the saying famous. It was never true, for genius has always meant special ability. There are mil­ lions of genlusee; thousands climbing to distinction, hundreds to great dis­ tinction. I have known several prom­ ising candidates In small towns where I have llred. Among cats, dogs, cattle, and the lon er animals generally, a scrub nev*-r won a blue ribbon, but It la characteristic In the hi.man family that acrubs oftener achieve great dis­ tinction than thoroughbreds. Prob­ ably this comes about because there ts no stud book among men. Goethe had fourteen mlatresses and no great progeny. Mozart attracted attention all over Europe as a musician wheu tlx years old. Before he died at thirty five be bad written aymphonles and operas now performed somewhere every week In the year. He never sat down to display bis genius that be was not disturbed by a bill seOSCtsr, by the acreamlcg of a woman In labor, a row with relatives, or some other Incident of love affairs Had he been aa free to devote hla time to music as “Heigh fo u n t“ was to devote his time to winning races, there ts no telling what heights Mozart might have easily reached. Many pam- l«-red ruie horses have won a quarter of a million dollars In two years. Mozart received less than a thou­ sand dollars from “ Figaro.” “I>on Giovanni." and the Hequletu. and. when be died, was so poor hla funeral cost under five dollars. • • • Except In the ense of the late Thom­ as A. Edison 1 do not at the moment recall another American who became widely popular, and really d«served It. Mr, Edison waa quiet, well behaved, and a great w orker; what little he said waa pr«>p««r for both young and old to remember, but somehow he a t­ tracted the popular fnney. . . . It ' la a very rare case. Millions of other popular men have been unworthy of popularity, as they have acted badly, and taught bad lessons. Look at Jean Jacques Rousseau. He waa scarcely a respectable man, yet his popularity Is growing s long time a fter hla death. I Millions of people In all parts of the world regard him as almost a saint, nnd hla teaching as very Important. Rousseau was once “kept” by a woman. When she threw him over, he took up with a kitchen wench, and sent their children to orphan asylum s: he never later saw oae of them.
