I.I M OI.VS III K i ll DAY
With none of the Presidents
since Washington's time is the Am
erican public so familiar as the !
man whose birthday is celebrated
today. At the head of the nation
during the most critical stage of Us 1
existence when the question of free |
labor or slavery precipitated the on- 1
tire structure of the country into ,
the maelstrom of war, no wonder j
that this dramatic situation should
have immortalized him in the minds i
of the people. For. apart after all. ;
from the personal qualities o! the,
Mien, it is the dramatic in histoiyj
which most impresses the people
; bout the actors in this continuous
i lory.
About Lincoln there was dinging
too, everything which was charader
ists- of the nation and its civiliza
tion. His ri-" to prominence from
such humble origin, tits id-uitr ca
tion with the tremendous qu stums
v.'h'cu wer< about to solve them-|
solves with the fatalism of evolu
tion, liis quick and correct appraise
ment of men and situations and It is
homely style made him typically
American, as far as it Is safe to use
that rnueii abused expression.
Interest in Lincoln is intensified
today when the nation stands as
Taft says on the brink of war. be
came Lincoln above all else was the
war executive and his administra
tion was marked by alt the usual
shortcoming.; that a peaceful nation
inanifi sts when it unsheathes the
sword.
It will be difficult, to seriously
• •onsider Hn present situation and
that which confronted Lincoln with
out contrasting tlie administration
of the martyred President and that
of tli" present executive to the dis
advantage of the latter Lincoln
lived iu a time that tried men's
souls and we are aware of tile man
lier in which he stood the test. His
work is open and known and can be
considered in its beginning and its
conclusion and obviously it is im
possible to consider that of Wilson
until the dark days that are now
looming in the national calendor
are also concluded and a brighter
epoch dawns.
There were certain principles in
volved in the civil war which were
secondary issues at that time to the
abolitionists and which only after
the war were realized as being so
vital, in the north came after the
war to be deemed in many quarters
the most vital issues of all. It was
not the minor economic change ot
the labor conditions in the south
from the chattel slavery to the
wages system which wrought the
most important changes in the his
torical structure directly, but the
( oncomitant change from confedera
tion to centralization of national
control in the federal government,
which completed the evolution of
the constitutional structure of the
TTiitcd States.
The difference between wage
working and slavery is more imagin
ary than real, at least it is more
personal than social in its results;
I but the change from state inde
; pendent e on an equality of sov
! i-reignty unquestioned by the central
j administration is a much more ra
I dioal matter. in any event it was
I .ill advance in the evolution of the
: national life and tile integration of
i!: components parts of flic nation
i.11 organization. Centralization of
power seem; in all nations to be the
inevitable end towards which such
organization will ultimately tend;
usually with much resistance, with
considerable opposition and not sel
dom with a resulting social dis
turbance that compels a readjust
ment of the entire social structure.
Opponents of this gradual devel
Tin: \i:\v tiikoi.ogy.
They scratch the beam and the Sun's own gleam with the marks of
their measured miles;
They weigh the sneer in a coward's leer and extract the joys from
smiles
With scalpel red they probe the dead in a search for their Great
Unknown;
They equate the terms of disease in germs in symbols are all their
own.
With deodorants strong they wither the song that would blossom in
perfumed dreams
And hearts afire with Divine Desire they drench with their stenciling
streams.
With books and with rules and official fools they Justice portion and
weigh;
In a gold barred cage they Freedom stage: a well tamed Beast of Prey
With bottle and glass and a wizard's pass they analyze our tears
And they check the weight of statistical hate and the venom insocial
fears.
Their Gods are red and their might is dread with the mystery of things
unseen
By their Altars dim they chant their hymn to the world that ne’er has
been.
They harvest tli • seed of a poisoned weed and mix it with daily bread—
They stifle the groans and the anguished moans with narcotics from
tears unshed.
The loves men feel and the pleasures steal they outlaw day by day
And the hopes that bloom in hearts of gloom they tear by the roots
away.
Their hour glass runs to the roar of guns in temples of brass and steel
And their victims quake when explosives shake the earth in a chok
ing reel.
Their prayers are said o’er mounds of dead that rise from a blackened
plain.
Where the vultures sweep and Uie jackals creep to gorge on the
human slain.
Their pride and their boast is the well armed host that speeds with
unhurried breath.
To the trench and the snare and the poisoned air that gags in the
Valley of Death.
* * * *
On sea and in air with infinite care great things they have builded up
That the children of men might anguish when with sorrow they daily
sup.
Their one true right is the power of might which all things must
o’er sway
And they are the source of the law which Is force the underlfngs must
obey.
They sit at .the Board and give the word though the trembling
masses feel
The canker of things that burns and stings like the brand of scorch
ing steel.
But — that is the lot, and it alters not, for all who are underlings:
Those with brain benumbed, the sightless dumb and all the unthinking
things. c
X. Y. Z.
opment have uttered the caution
that that is the best government
which governs the least, but this
idea seems constructed from a re
actionary idealism which takes no
stock of the drift of the social forces
to converge upon a central seat and
from thence control the entire orga
nization. Whether it is approved or
not, -we have to take cognizance
this inevitable and it would app<p.r
invincible tendency. ^
