Citation: Rickman, Elvin. Abraham Lincoln as a statesman. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1904. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to-set forth, by means of a few examples, the statesmanlike qualities of Abraham Lincoln. In the first place let us determine what constitutes a statesman. A statesman is a man of wisdom, a political leader, versed in the art of government, who is able to direct the national affairs into the proper channel. In the senatorial campaign of 1858, between Stephan A. Douglas and Lincoln, Lincoln, in his first address, startled his hearers and dismayed his party leaders by the outspoken frankness of his language. " Agitation (against slavery)" he said, "has not only not ceased but has constantly augmented. In my opinion it will not cease until a crisis has been reached and passed. 'A house devided against itself cannot stand.' I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the house to fall, but I expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all another. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it.or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the states, old as well as new, - north as well as south." In this example we see the bredth of Lincoln's public policy and foresight. He was not confined in his thought to any part of the country but considered the whole country as a unit.

Citation: Biddison, John Jeremiah. Modern governments and the politician. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1904. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: Men have from the beginning congregated together- Man is by nature gregarious animal- and, since he is endowed with mind and soul, so that he may know what is right and what is an injustice to his fellow man, he has of necessity instituted laws to define his rights and governments to protect them. At first the articles which defended the man of low estate were few and the respect for them small; the strong have ridden rough–shod over the weak; but times have changed, and with them governments. In the modern government, the people rule and kings are told what to do. The modern Government is a creation of the past century; yet not all governments of today are modern, not all civilized governments are modern, not all the governments of Europe are modern. A modern government, in the sense I propose to use it, is one in which the people at large are the prevailing power. In that sense the United States government is modern; so is that of England and France and all the republics; Germany is only Partially so, and Russia is not modern. In a nation ruled by the people, another institution commonly, if not always, becomes a party of its vital workings --that is the political party. The party must have leaders; hence the politician--" one attached to politics as managed by parties"; " one skilled in political science and administration. " Political parties, naturally, exist only in democratic countries, since it is as organ of public opinion. The nearest approach to a party, in a despotism, is the political faction; it is the forerunner of the party. England's history was made by factions from the time of the Magna Charta up to the time of the Puritans, about 1640; but these factions did not depend…
