D. Stabler % | THE HUMANISM AND TOLERANCE OF ! LINCOLN. o { One of the central points around which Amer- ican history revolves is the fact that each recur-| ring anniversary of Lincoln’s birthday shows more clearly the appreciation of the world cof the| character and attainments and achievements of the great Civil War President of the United States. On this 120th anniversary of his birth he is universally regarded as oeccupying a place| in the very front rank among the great men who have given service to civilization. It is generally| admitted that when he was stricken with the/ bullet of a half crazed assassin who had *lived in a fog of whiskey and vanity” he was an authority on the strategy of war, on international and con-| stitutional law and the science of government.| Long before that he tower of human sympathy.

Notwithstanding that most of the poli-|Empire we must try to think imperially and ticians and the most vociferous of the church|the sentiment in the verse mentioned is not leaders in the North were demanding vengeance|imperial. It tends to indicate a provincial against the South, Lincoln made it very plain| (quoting Woodward) that i he was opposed to confiscation, to any sort of dragooning methods in the con- quered States, and to universal Negro | suffrage—though he thought that Ne- groes who could read and write, and | those who had served in the army, ought to be allow to vote. But the States themselves should regulate the suffrage; he comtended the question did not fall- | within the frame of National functions. Just a few hours before he was shot in the back, on April' 14, 1865, and the mad actor, who struck the most cruel blow that was ever delivered to the South, “‘went limping across the stage of a theater, waving a dagger and bellow- ing, ‘Sic semper Tyrannis, Lincoln presided at his last Cabinet meeting. Gen. Grant was the/ President’s invited guest at the meeting, and| we have the following from the commanding General’s pen, quoting the President: I think it providential that this great rebellion is crushed just as Congress has adjourned and there are none of the dis- turbing elements of that body to hinder and embarrass us. If we are wise and discreet we shall reanimate the States and get their governments in succe: ful operation, with order prevailing and the Union re-established before Congress comes together in December. 1 hope there will be no persecution, no bloody work after the war is over. 0 one need expect me to take any part in hanging or killing those men, even the worst of them. * * * Enough lives have been sacrificed. We must extinguish our re- | sentments if we expect harmony and union. Some conception of the Lincoln courage may be inferred from the circumstance that so many in high places in the Nation a feeling of relief passing. George W. Julian, a prominent member of Congress at the time and a writer of not a little fame, wrote that| he attended a political caucus the day after Lin- coln’s death, and ‘“‘while at his murder, the councils expressed at his everybody was shocked feeling nearly universal that the acce n of Johnson would prove a God- send to the country.” He added that Lincoln's views on reconstruetion were ‘“as distasteful as} “possible.” Charles Sumner wondered if his death | “‘was not a judgment of the thought perhaps his death was that the country needed “a new spirit born out| of the ashes of war.” Many preachers vxpressed" gimilar thoughts in memorial sermons.

District Attorney. Stabler was nominated January 23 and con- firmed February 8. That is regarded as a fast schedule. No objections, as far as known, were made to the confirmation. Mr. Stabler was commended for the position to ‘which he was! appeinted by Republican National Committeeman A. E. Lathrop and the Juneau Bar Association. There seems to be something appropriate in the ownership of the airplane *“Godless” that will be built for the Russian Soviet. At Britain’s Side.

A considerable section of the country would like to have the verse in which the words the complex. Wild Life Values. (Washington Post.) Bird refuges, game laws and other protective measures for wild life are not merely measures for the protection of sport or for the aesthetic in- terest of wild birds and animals.. Their preser- is an economic gain. In New Hampshire it has been computed that wild life represents to the State an annual value of $8,500,000. From game flesh, fur and feathers, are derived $4,- 000,000; insect destroying value, $1,500,000; re- création value in connection with tourist attrac- tion and business, $3,000,000. Carried over the forty-eight States, the value of birds and game runs into an enormous sum. The argument in behalf of preservation of birds and game within the full limits of law is a plea for thrift and profit. The cost to the States in protection of game is inconsiderable compared with the savings and munities. Hence the claims of the wild life of America for consideration are not those of mendi- cants but of nature's capitalists and industrial Many a man does nct count as much economically for his State as the bird that flies over his head Germany’s Battleship. (Manchester Guardian.) Great interest has been aroused in this coun- try and in France by the description which has been published of the new German battleship. The restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Ver- sailles left the German designers with the prob- lem of producing a first-rate fighting ship with a displacement of no more than 10,000 tons. They appear to have contrived very ingeniously. By the use of a material and methods of construc- tion calculated to keep weight down to the mln_immn they have produced a ship carrying six 11-inch guus in triple turrets, eight 5.9-inch guns on the upper deck amidships, and a number of 4.1-inch anti-aircraft guns and torpedo tubes. Her speed is reported to reach 26 knmots. It is something quite new in naval construction, and broves once again how necessity fosters inven- tion. The Parls papers affect alarm at this de- velopment of the German navy. It be taken a significant indication that the American Legion, composed of ‘warriors, has pledged support and cooperation to the Amer- ican Peace Society.—(Boston Globe.)
