Show President Roosevelt's Enemies Like Lincoln's History repeats itself. The enemies of president Roosevelt Roose-velt are using the very same methods and almost the same words that the enmies of Abraham Lincoln used against him A similar elass of men as tried to hamstring Lincoln at every step are today feeding fat their grudges against democracy's leader and hating him because of personal bias and prejudice. They charged Lincoln with prostituting men and mo ey instead in-stead of perpetuating the integrity of the country They charged him with incendiary declar tions that plunged the. country into war. They cried out that he was iolating the constitution and that he stoo with those who held the constitution con-stitution as -a covenant wth death and a compact w ith hell. They charged that l.e protracted the war in order to f II more graves Ar.d worst of all they charged him with trang to destroy the Union that God raised him up to save They called him ape and monkey and traitor. There is no better way of judging a leader than by the implacable hate and malignity mal-ignity of his enemies, and Roosevelt's enemies are worse than those of Lincoln As in Lincoln's time they are doing the things that led and may lead again to assasination and then like Lincoln, the man raised up for the leadership of these times, will go on to immortality while they go on to oblivion to be remembered as obstructionists and defamers You can't possibly build a fo ndation for peace out of malignant hearts and malevolent tongues Had Christ tried to do it that way His mission would have failed utterly |
