8T. GAUDEN8* STATUE OP LINCOLN. GRANT PARK, CHICAGO
Country's Needs
Ever First in
Lincoln's Mind
Chauncey M, Depew, former United
States senator, in an Installment of
"Leaves From My Autobiography,
Scribner's Magazine, a retrospection
of his childhood, youth and public
service covering a period of eighty
years, told some new anecdotes of Lin
coln, Grant, Andrew Johnson, Seward,
Chase, Commodore Vanderbilt and
other notable men of Civil war days.
"I had a long and memorable inter
view with President Lincoln," Mr. De
pew writes of a visit he paid to Wash
ington in 1863 when he was secretary
of state for New York, "As I stepped
from the crowd in his reception room
he said to me: 'What do you wantT
I answered: 'Nothing, Mr. President
I only came to pay my respects and
bid you goodby, as I am leaving Wash
ington.' Tt is such a luxury,' he then
remarked, 'to find a man who does not
want anything. I wish you would wait
until I get rid of this crowd.'

stories, each of which was a victory."
Lincoln was always on the lookout
for a good yarn, although be told De
pew he never ''Invented" one.
One night there was a reception in
the executive mansion. Rufus C. An
drews, surveyor of the port of New
York and a confidential adviser of the
President on New York affairs, at
tended the reception with Mr. Depew.
As the procession of handshakers
moved past, Lincoln stopped Andrews,
and, leaning over, spoke very confi
dentially to him, delaying the cere
monies for some time. Momentous Is
sues were impending. Lincoln was in
the midst of the campaign for renorni
nation, his cabinet was inharmonious,
the war was on and decisive battles

President the night before he told Mr.
Lincoln a new story. The President
delayed him at the reception, saying:

He explained to me when we

ple), take them as you find them, are
more easily influenced by a broad and
humorous illustration than in any oth
er way, and what the hypercritical
few may think, I don't care.' ,
"In speaking Mr. Lincoln had a pe
culiar cadence in his voice, caused by
laying emphasis on the key-word of
the sentence.
"In answer to the question bow he
knew so many anecdotes, ha an
swered :
H *I never invented a story, but I
have a good memory and, I think, tell
one tolerably well. My early life was
passed among pioneers who bad the
courage and enterprise to break away
from civilization and aettle In the
wilderness. The things which hap
pened to these original people and
among themselves in their primitive
conditions were far more dramatic'
than anything invented by the profes
sional story tellers.
For many years I traveled the
circuit as a lawyer and usually there
was only one hotel In the country
towns where court was held. The
judges, the grand and petit juries, the
lawyers, the clients and witnesses
would tass the night telling exciting
or amusing occurrences and these
were of infinite variety and interest* "
Inharmonious Cabinet

handling men and hit personal homil*..
Ity, Mr. Depew saya: . . .
"No President ever had a cabinet of
which the members were so tndepend
ent, had so large individual followings
and were so Inharmonious. The Presi
dent's sole ambition was te secure the
ablest men In the country for the de
partments which he assigned to them,
without regard to their loyalty to him
self. One of Mr. Seward's secretaries
would frequently report to me the acts
of disloyalty or personal hostility on
the part of Mr. Chase with the la
ment: 'The old man—meaning Lin
coln—knows all about it and will not
do a thing.

Lincoln on Agriculture ?
To speak entirely within due bounds,
It is known that 50 bushels of wheat
and 100 bushels of corn can be pro
duced from one acre.
Take 50 of wheat and 100 of corn
to be the possibility and compare It
with the crops of the country.
Unquestionably it will take more
labor to produce 50 bushels from an
acre than It will to produce 10 bushels
from the same acre; but will it take
more to produce 60 bushels from one
acre than from five?
More thorough cultivation will re
quire more labor to the acre, but will
It require more to the bushel T—Abra

Public Sentiment First
Public sentiment is everything.
With public sentiment nothing can
fail; without it nothing can succeed.
Consequently he who molds public
sentiment goes deeper than he who
enacts statutes or pronounces deci
sions. He makes statutes and deci
sions possible or Impossible to be exe
cuted.—Abraham Lincoln.

His hours were heedless as bis purse

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
"Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent
a new nation conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal. Now we are
engaged in a great civil war. testing
whether that nation, so conceived and
so dedicated, can long endure. We
are met on a great battlefield of war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of
that field aa a final resting place for
these who gave their lives that that
nation might live. But, in a large
sense, we cannot dedicate—we can
not consecrate—we cannot hallow—
this ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here have
.consecrated it, far above onr power
to add or detract The world will
little note nor long remember what
we aay here, but it can never forget
what they did here. It is for ns, the
living, rather, to be dedicated here to
the unfinished work which they who
fought here have this far so nobly ad
vanced. It ia rather for ns to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before us that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion
that cause for which they gave the
last full measure of their devotion—
j that we here highly resolve that those
dead shall not have died in vain—that
—this nation—under God, shall have
new birth of freedom—and that gov
ernment of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from
the earth."

44 Lincoln*9 Beet Story 9
Conveys Good Leeton
Sometimes we think the study of sci
entific agriculture is a new thing and
only thought of within the last few
years. Giants of Intellect, like the
great and dearly beloved Lincoln, saw
far ahead of their times, even con
cerning auch homely matters as the
fertility of the soil. We give our
readers below what Is considered Lin
coln's best story. It was told to an
assembly of farmers at the end of an
address. We commend it, and the les
son it conveys, to every thoughtful
reader: \ f
1 "An eastern monarch once charged
his wise men to invent him a sentence
to be forever in view, and which
should be true and appropriate at all
times and situations. They presented
him the words, 'And this, too, shall
pass away.' And yet, let ns hope It
is not quite true. Let us hope, rather,
that by the best cultivation of the
physical world beneath and the moral
world within ns, we shall secure an
Individual, social and political pros
perity and happiness, whose course
shall be onward and upward, and
which, while the earth endures, shall
oot pass away."—Farmer and Breeder.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—One guess
apparently is as good as another as
to what will be made of the McNary
Haugen bill. There is no denying
that gossip is running strongly to
the effect that the measure is likely
of enactment at this session. A
combination effective in part, at
least, has been established between
the congressmen of the South and the
West which is the basis of the feel
ing of confidence that the measure
will pass both branches. At the cap
itol one curious reaction is to be
found, some of the people foremost in
pressing this measure are apparently
far from happy over the prospects of
success. In explanation it is whis
pered that their interest was political
rather than agricultural and from a
political standpoint their personal
preference was for a delay of its
enactment until the session which
opens next December. They felt it
would be a more effective political
club if enacted then rather tha^ now.
Their program, it is whispered, was
only to talk this session, and make it
effective next, but that it got out of
hand so their enthusiasm is' hardly
up to the mark of men who are ap-'
parently about tq achieve the great
goal for which they have bèén &itn
ing. ,

WASHINGTON, D, C.—The Mc
Adoo-Smith battle is on for fair.
McAdoo for his part has declared that
hi» dry speech made in Ohio had no
political significance, but the jSmith
men from past experience, have in
terpreted each and every line as an
attack upon their candidate. The sit
uation is tragic as well as humorous.
The country needs two positive func
tioning parties, with honest differ
ence» of opinions as to national pol
icies. The existence of two such par
ties is frankly one of the fundamental
principles of our government. Wash
ington, who himself was inclined to
think in a single national way, rec
ognized the necessity of party gov
ernment and sought in every way to
encourage a distinction between the
two opposing forces. By the- time
the Democrats are through, instead
of a party, they will simply have
ballyhoo organization. There is no
ignoring the fact that the great de
bate within the Democratic party to
day is not for party principles, not
for party beliefs, not for real party
issues, Sut as to whether their nom
inator shall be given to a Catholic
or a Protestant.
No great party has ever sunk
such depths before. The situation
