Lincoln's Legal Triumph Above Is pictured the farftous old courthouse at Bloomington, 111., wherein Abe Lincoln won hie first case as an attorney, In clearing Duff Armstrong of the eharge of murder in 1858. Witnesses swore that they saw Armstrong strike the blow that resulted in the death, “by the light of the moon.'* Lincoln produced an almanac and showed that there was no moon on the night of the murder and that the witnesses were wrong In their Identification of Armstrong, who was subsequently acquitted. REAL GREATNESS BEYOND LEGEND History Will Know Lincoln as “Patient, Kindly, Wise, Foreseeing Man.” Perhaps the one thing to fear for Lincoln’s greatness Is the growth of legend about It. There Is no doubt there Is such an incrustation forming upon his faipe, and if that process Is active so soon after his death, what must be its progress In the centuries to come? What must his real great ness suffer from it? Not In the Inter est of history alone, but in that of the name and fame of one of the greatest and wisest of Americans, It ought to be the concern of those who are almost his contemporaries to ar rest this growth, to remove it so far as It has already obscured the genu ine and solid substance beneath and to LINCOLN’S “STUDY” The picture showe the Onetott cooper shop at New Salem, 111., which is rich with historical interest, it was in this building that Abraham Lincoln studied law by the side of the fire place, the only light available. The fire was fed with shavings so that Lincoln could see to study. The build ing today appears very much the same as it did during Lincoln's time, and the original logs yet remain. Insist that the qualities that made Abraham Lincoln what he was are suf ficient to preserve him, as Edwin M. Stanton said, for the ages. The reason why Lincoln’s greatness lends itself to legend are plain enough. As a national figure he flashed upon the rapidly turning pages of history for but a moment, and was gone be fore his countrymen came to know him. His entire career, it may be said, covered only four years, some thing perhaps unprecedented in the annals of the great. Before he be came President he was a country law yer, almost unknown outside of Illi nois. In an instant he burst upon the national horizon like a meteor, light ing up the whole sky, and while the eyes of millions were yet upon him trying to make out this sudden por tent, he vanished leaving his country men and the world, with a question unanswered. The attempts to an swer it have had a natural result: the Illinois circuit-riding lawyer has be come the legal peer of Coke and Mans field and Marshall; the President who |iad never seen an army until he was llfty-two years old has become a mil itary genius; the prairie debater has taken his place with the world’s first orators; the lonely, sad, overburdened leader of a nation crying out in Its travail is a mystic and a poet. Don't Account for Lincoln. There is some thith in all of, these things, but not enough in any one of them to account for Lincoln; there have been greater American lawyers, military leaders, orators and poets, yet none of them was a' Lincoln. He knew and could expound the law, but this was perhaps more successfully demonstrated In his debate with Doug las than In his practice at the Illinois bar. He acquired a certain shrewd military knowledge and insight, but this was chiefly remarkable as show ing the extraordinary powers of his logical mind; its practical value In the direction of the northern armies Is debatable. We think the second In augural, whjda is carved in marble on the walls of the Lincoln memorial In Washington, ranks with the highest poetry of the Bible, on which, Indeed, it was modeled. The Gettsyburg ad dress reaches the topmost note of hu man eloquence Lowell’s Eulogy Lives. But these qualities of mind and these achievements of painstaking and often groping effort do not account for Abraham Lincoln, declares the Kan sas City Star. James Russell Lowell accounted for him in a few simple words. “This patient, kindly, wise, foreseeing man.” In 1861 the nation could not have been led by the great est lawyer, military genius, orator or poet. If Lincoln had been all of these and nothing more he must have failed. Hating slavery he dared not strike it; the North was not ready. Hating war he dared to make it, yet had to make it gently—often a fatal thing and al most fata! then; his task was to hold the North and the border states with one hand and strike or beckon the South with the hardly knew which to do and first and last did both. He had to find leaders for the armies, to keep Europe off the North's back, to placate and disarm powerful foes In his own party, to light battles when victory was almost as terrible as defeat in this war of brothers, to shed civil blood and yet preserve the nation and to lead at last the public opinion of the North to the inevitable necessity of emancipation. “This pa tient, kindly, wise, foreseeing man” accomplished the task, and history’s tribute to him must be the recognition that a Seward, a Chase, a Stanton, a Grant could not have done it. Lin coln led the North slowly because the North would be led no other way. A swifter military success might have been obtained by a Napoleon, but a military success achieved before the North had learned that the war could end only in the destruction of its cause would not have preserved the Union. Lincoln will grow—ls growing—with the knowledge of his countrymen that his true greatness was in these qual ities of leadership that went down to the character and fiber of the man; to his simplicity, honesty, wisdom, forebearance, truthfulness and mercy. Tn these was his power over men, In his time and ours.
