Ida M. Tarbell in the February American Magazine. It used to rile old Judge Davisa lot when they wae travelin’ the cir- cuit, the way Mr. Lincoln never made no difference between lawyers and common folks. I heard Judge Logan tellin’ in here one day about their all bein’ in the tavern up to Blooming: ton. one day. In those times there was just one big table foreverybody. The lawyers and big bugs always set at oneend and the teamsters and farmers at the other. Mr. Lincoln usad to like to get down among the workin folks and get the news. Reck- on he got kinda tired hearin’ discus- sin goin’ on all the time. Liked to hear about the crops and politics and folka he knew. Thie time he was down among’em, and Judge Davis, who always want- ed Lincoln right under his nose, calls out: “Come up here, Mr. Lincoln; here’s where you belong.”’ And Mr, Lincolo, he looked kinda funny at the judge and he says: “Gut anything better to eat up there, judge?” And everybody tee- heed. Feelin’ as he did about folks I could see how it would go ag’in the grain forthe boysin the army to have a harder time than was neces- sary. He'd argue that they was doin’ the fightin’ and ought to have the care. He’d feel & good deal worse about thelr bein’ neglected than he would about the things he knew be- forehand he had to stand, like woundin’ and killin’, And ’twae just that way so [found out the time 1 was down to Washington visitin’ him. Washington looked mighty pretty lyin’ there still and white. Mr. Lin- coln pointed out the capitol and the White house and Arlington and the Long bridge, showin’ me the lay of the land. “And {t’s nuthin’ but one big hos- pital, Billy,” he sald after a while. quiet, that there’s 50,000 sick and wounded soldifers there? Only Al mighty God kaows how many of ’em: are dyin’ this minute; only Almighty God knows how many are sufferin’ so they’re prayin’ to die. They are comin’ to us every day now—have the country. There’s a crawlin’ line of sick and wounded all the way from here to Petersburg to-night. There’s a line from Georgia to Chat tanooga—Sherman’s men. Youcan’t put your finger on a spot in the whole North that ain’t got acrippled or fever struck soldier {n it. There were days in May, just after the Wilderness, when Mary and T used to drive the carriage along lines of ambulances which stretched trom docks to the hospitals, one, two miles. It wasa thing to tear your heart out to eee’em. They brought them from the field just as they pick- ed them up} with horrible, gaping, undressed wounds, blood and dust and powder caked over them—eaten by files and mosquitoes. They’d been piled like cordwood on flat cars and transports. “Sometimes they didn’t geta drink until they were lances {n @ row distributin’ the wounded and eick from Grant’s army. “Think what it means! It means that boys like you and me were, not 80 long ago, have etood up and shot each other down—have trampled over each other and have left each other wounded and bleeding on the ground, in the rain or the no- body to give em a drink Or to say a shootin’ boys from Kentucky where I was born! It’s only when I see them comin’ in I realizs it—boatload after boat load, wagon load atter wagon load. It seemed sometimes after Ball Run and Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville if they didn’s stop unloadin’ ‘em I'd go plumb crazy. But sttil they come, and only God knows when they'll stop. They say hell’s tke war, Billy. If ts—I’m wind Lain’s Satan.” Ofcourse I tried to cheer him up. I'd been around visitin’ the Ilinote boys in the hospitals that day and | juss lit in and told him how comfort- able I’ d found ’em and how chipper most of them seemed. “You'd think *bwas fun to be in the hospital to see some of 'em, Mr. Lincoln,” I sald. “What do you suppose old Tom Blodgett was doin’? Settin’ up darn- in’ his socks. Yes, sir, insisted on doin’ {¢ himself. Said them socks had fit all the Way from Washington to Richmond. They'd stood by him and he was goin’ to stand by them. Goin’ to dress thelr wounds as good as the doctor had his. Never saw anything so funny as that big feller propped up there tryin’ to darn like he'd seen his mother do and all the time makin’fun. Allthe boys around were laftin’ at him—called him the sock doctor. ‘And the things were so clean and white and pretty and the women were runnin’ around just like home.” “God bleas em!” he sald. “I don’t know what we'd ‘a’ done ff it hadn’t been forthe way the women have taken hold.

Or, do you want to know something of the composition and character of that which you take into your stomach whether as food or medicine ? rE Most intelligent and sensible people now-a-days insist on knowing what they employ whether as food or as medicine.

You howe read what they send a book! Tn {ts {ssue of January 12 the Wall Street Journal printed the following: Boston—Adam, in the Boston News Burean, says: One of the most amusing things that has taken place in the past week has been President Roosevelt's an- swer to the senate on the matter of the benevolent assimilation of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company by the United States Steel corpora- tion. Mr. Roosevelt states that he was responsible for every detall of the transaction, and ts cogn!zant of all the facts. He told the senate (us- ing a letter to Attorney-General Bonaparte as a vehicle) that Messrs. Gary and Frick had come to him tn the dead of night, stating that a calamity would soon take place in New York, unless the steel corpora: tion should be permitted by the pres ident to take over the Tennessee Coal and Iron company. These gentle- men advised Mr. Roosevelt that a buetness firm in New York would go to the wall, unless the Tennessee Coal and Iron company were taken off their shoulders, They did not tell Mr. Roosevelt, however, the name of the firm, nor the fact that other tnetitusions of many times the magnitude of the stock exchange house in questlon, had already gone to the wall. Messrs. Gary and Frick, according to the president, said thas the United States Steel corporation did not really want the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, but merely had the philanthropic interest in the matter, So Mr. Roosevelt, in order, as he says, to ‘save the situation” (after the situation had already been auv- ed) told Messrs, Gary ‘and Frick that he would hold his hounds tn leash— Everybody knows that the steel cor- poration had suffered the pangs of hunger for years, because {¢ could not get control of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company and that the con- trol of that company was the very thing which the steel corporation had long wanted. All of the stock which was carried men. Such, for instance, as 0. H. Paynejand Leonard Hanna, of St. Louis, who is a multt-millionalre; and John W. Gates, who thinks nothing of “betting a million.” Very likely the president felt flat- tered that Messrs. Gary and Frick goes to {te parent for a penny, to buy a stick of candy—and asked per- mission to buy control of the Ten- nessee Coal and Iron company; but this does not prevent the character- ization of Mr. Roosevelt’s act in sue- pending the operation of the federal laws in this particular case, as a scandal. But {what would interest Wall Street more than all of this, would be answers to some questions: Did J. P. Morgan & Co. buy the Tennes- see Coal and Iron company from the “business,firm”’ to whom Mr. Roose- velt referred? If so, what price did Mr. Morgan & Co. pay the ‘business firm” forj,Tennessee Coal and Iron atock? What did the steel corporation pay Morgan & Co. for this Tennessee Coal and Iron stock? Is {¢ a fact thatthe steel corporation did not want to worth very nearly the amount of the par value. So that the eteel cor. poration actually paid $115 a share for its Tennessee Coal and Iron com- pany stock, Rumor has alwaye said that the “business firm” sold ite stock ata much lower figure. The real ques- tions are: “Were there inside prices?” {tao, “What were they, and who got the profite?” | \ The president did not suspend the Operation of fhe Sherman act in the case of the Northern Securities.
