V.
e are faced with trying times
these days. For we are on the verge
of the period of the changing of tires;
of the putting up of awnings and
screens and the pulling down of storm
doors; of the spreading of earth
sweeteners, and the planting of the
seed of lettuce plants that have gone
before and proved good; of the swing
ing of golf clubs, the sorrow of the
tender grasses outsider and of prom
nently located vases inside the home;
of the will to laziness, and the urge
of springtime emotions. In fact, we
are on the verge of the period of the
perennial rennaissance of human na
ture. So, on with the dance, and let

ME. TAFT AND MR. LINCOLN
Mr. Taft's posthumous letter to
Prof. Irving Fisher revising his for
mer opinion and accepting national
prohibition as a mandate from the
people emphasizes the totally oppos
ite conception of citizenship held by
Abraham Lincoln. In the Yale ad-
dess to which Mr. Taft referred in
his letter he said:
When a two-thirds majority
of Congress and three-fourths of
state legislatures adopt a Con
stitutional amendment, and a
majority of each House of Con
gress passes a law to enforce it,
the rules of the game of popular
government are that all living
under that Government must
obey. It is not patriotic, it is
not sportsmanlike, to evade or
disobey.
I am appeal to such a man to
change his attitude toward the
enforcement of that law because
much as he may disagree with
prohibition I mean as a prin
ciple he can't afford to have
his opposition to prohibition im
pair influence of the Constitu
tion and laws of the country or
wreck the future of the society
whose basis must rest upon
them.
The crisis in which Mr. Lincoln
refused to acquiesce against his
judgment in any such mandate,
whether from the people or the
courts, was the most thrilling chap
ter in American history, It preci
pitated the Lincoln-DouglaB debates,
to which the people came in such
multitudes as no such encounter had
ever attracted. Mr. Lincoln was
aroused by the Dred Scott decision,
which held that a slave was property
and subject to the laws of property in
the territories, and the fugitive slave
laws, which obligated the people of
the North to help the South catch
its runaway slaves. Despite every
effort upon the part of his friends,
and against the judgment of power
ful sympathizers with abolition such
as Horace Greeley, then editor of the
New York Tribune, Lincoln insisted
in debate after debate that he owed
no such duty as a citizen as that en
unciated by Mr. Taft in the Yale ad
dress. He said upon one occasion:
Judge Douglas contends hat
whatever community wants
slaves has a right to have them;
and so they have if slavery is
right, but if slavery is wrong
they have no right to do wrong.
He says that slaves like other
property may be carried Into
new territory; and that is true
if slavery la right, but if slavery
is wrong there can be no such
right. There can be no compari
son between right and wrong.
That is the issue that shall con
tinue in the country when these
poor tongues of ours shall be
silent. It is the eternal struggle
between the two principles of
right and wrong in the world.
Lincoln said in one of the debates
that another Dred Scott decision
would make the slaves property in
even the free states. He foresaw that
the time would come when the slave
owners, who controlled both Congress
and the United States Supreme Court,
would force acquiescence in slavery
upon the whole country. It was this
realization that impelled him to re
ject all counsel other than that of
his own conscience and insist that
it was his duty to save the country
from such a fate. He rejected poli
tical expediency, which Mr. Taft
could accept, holding that to acqui
esce in what it knew to be wrong,
could never save but would destroy
the Republic.
The analogy between what he
charged the slave owners were doing
and what the prohibitionists have
done that is, forcing upon all the
people by sheer power of law what
they themselves believe is very
powerful.
After his debates with Douglas the
country was in no doubt of where Mr.
Lincoln stood. He had defied Con
gress and the courts. He had chal
lenged either to make him acquiesce
in what he knew to be wrong. He
lost the senatorial election, but he
won the debates. In the end all those
who, like Mr. Greeley, had thought
he went too far, acknowledged him
right. Such was our most illustrious
American, beautifully characterized
hy John Drinkwater as "A man for
the ages."
Truly, there can be no comparison
between right and wrong, and the
struggle between them is eternal. No
sound conception of citizenship, or of
patriotism, or of good sportsmanship,
can admit the right of one great seg
ment of the people to put upon an
other great segment of the people any
law which has not their consent. It
was wrong for the slave owners to do
it, and it is wrong for the prohibi
tionists to do it. St. Louis Post
