We need more of his honesty, his backbone and his courage in public life today. He sensed the dishonest official and put fear into the hearts of those who imposed upon the public confidence. Few ever challen- ged hin honesty bitterly as they m. have fought his policies, His conception of public serv and of the grave responsibilities of office wax keen and singularly unselfish. The farther we get away from Lincoln, #he greater he Jooma up aaa typical American. He grows stronger in the hearty and affections with time. The honesty of his pur- pore, his vision and firm decision are safe guides for public offictals who desire to give real ser ; more of them should pattern their administrations after the simple rules of hon- vesty and fidelity to trust that made him a world figure. It ia well to pause in this age of speed and turbulence to study the policies of Abraham Lincoln, truly a man of wis- dom and a martyr to the great cause of national liberty and paident Coolidge in his concise style once paid a great ‘tribute to Lincoln in these words: . “His presence filled the nation. He broke the might of oppression, He restored a race to its birthright. His mortal frame has vanished, but his spirit increases with the increas- Mg years, the richest legacy of the greatest century.” What priceless and imperishable gift for this nation is the legacy Lincoln has left for America and for the world in the power of his example, . HERRING We have been told often that fish is food for the brain. And now comes James G. Mickie, fisheries owner of Aber- deen, Scotland, to endow the finny article with properties “more profound, He believes it is a cure for domestic troubles, as good as yany love philter, leas expensive and not nearly so dangerous. “Herring,” says Mickie, “has an ameliorating, mellowing “Influence on the home circle, because it contains a maximum of protein. There is little divorce in Scotland because the herring there is sacred like your Boston cod. Eat herring, _ jive long and love your wife!” A man fed solely on herring or cod probably would black the spirit wilfully to cross his wife. Years ago the Spanish govornor of Porto Rico made codfish the big staple in the Porto Rican diet. He believed that no race bred on codfish would ever engage in revolution, Perhaps that is one reason why Porto Rico never mur- mured under Spanish or American rule. UNIFORM STATE LAWS STILL A DREAM The Germans have failed even worse than we have in devising an election system which will produce a govern- ment representative of the peop! But in some other things, they have succeeded where we “fail. Uniform rules for foreign credits have just been adopt- ed by all the state governments, on the recommendation of a commission appointed by the national finance minister, With us, uniform state laws, even on subjects so long agitated as marriage and divorce, are still a dream of the eduture, The eight-hour day has just been decreed for German 24-hour industries, after an investigation of its feasibility. President Harding had to get it here by personal influ- sence, after a whole generation of agitation. FORTITUDE Man reacts in a myriad different ways to misfortune. eAnd usually he is bravest when his suffering js physical rather than mental, = Floyd Collins, imprisoned beneath a huge rock in a Ken- Stucky cave, suffering intense pain, acted as we expect all heroes to act, At no time did he whimper or cry.

NOT ANOTHER DROP OF LEGAL LIQUOR The Oxford debaters are still argu- ing prohibition with American col- lege teams. As international debaters, there is between them a real issue. They may dispute, intelligently, which of their national policies: is preferable. The confusion comes when Amer- icans imagine there is any such do- mestic issue. Just historically and academtcally, we might inquire whether America was wise in adopt- ing prohibition, in freeing the slaves, or in annexing Texas. But there is no more present, practical issue, on the newest of these irrevocable historic facts than {on the oldest. There will never be another drop of legal alcoholic beverage in Amer- ica—and this includes beer and wine. !Thirteen states can keep ‘this the law forever, and more than 13 will do so. The only present question left is what we will do about illegal bever- ages. When you can find two law- abiding sides to that, the debate may be resumed.

They will be scrapped, tied up, or run at a loss on the still unprofityble routes. Either way, the cost is subsidy. We can only avoid subsidy by get- ting the same thing under a differ- ent name. HAVE WE LEARNED OUR LESSON? Secretary Wilbur thinks that “the next war” will probably be local and sporadic, involving only a few peo- ple. Doubtless he is right. That has been the case with the last war and its several predecessors. We have had all sorts of wars, since the great war closed, and we shall doubtless have more of them, before the great war comes again, unless meantime the world is better policed. But that is not the real question. The “next war’—just now the like- liest one seems to be between Greece and Turkey—may_not be important.
