LINCOLN AND PRESENT DAY POLITICS By Norman Hapgood. ho ststea- suan is quoted so earnestly in America, for bis supposed views on topics ot our day, I aa Abraham Lincoln.

It is or man Hapgood a usual exper ience see contemporary arguments based on tbe opinions of George WasblngUn, but even be comes below Lincoln in this species of appeal. Tbe name of Jefer- aoa of coarse. Is used dally to decorate speecbes and editorials, but aeldom with tbe close and serious application to tbe question that Is made of Lin-cola's name.

Zctaeoln's opinluot bold a place apart.

Tbe reaaoa for this is to be found sot la superiority to tbe -ober stetes-twaa la analysis of public questions, duCDtnaUcsi of tbe Lincoln Idea Is a aural doaalnettoa. It Is bis permoali-1 bis. and It belonged not to Hamilton, or Jefferson, or Calhoun. Washington bad an ail-lncludlng sense of right and it spran from bio It did not Include great humanity of emotion. Tbe key note of the traditional Lincoln (wbicb ttioa large way true of tbe actual Lincoln) is charily, or love of all men -cbaritr, wbicb means sorrow, tbe sorrow of understanding, tbe sorrow in' an open heart.

A strong American, John (yulncy Adams, used tbe words: "In charity to all mankind.bearing no malice or 111 will to any human being, and even compassionating those wbo bold in bondage tbelr fellow men, not knowing what they bucb would be spirit in wbicb Lincoln should perform bis duties if be were ail re to-day. He would take a position, lirm and disloterested.oo each Import nut question that a become necessary to deride, but there would be fur bim no diatribe.no violence, no stirring of claa hatred, no aaumptloa that bis oppooents were Inhuman vlW ainsor vampires.
