Covaright, 1910, XI.—A Sentry Who F a guard, stationed at the door of a theatre box, had not moved @ few steps to one side in order to watch the play—— The sentry was John Parker. He was on duty, but that 4 seemed to him a matter of mere form and of no importance, Hi was supposed to stand just outside a box in a theatre. But ‘trom where he stood he could not see the stage. Waves of laughter ye Hd | audience. Parker knew the play must be funny. ‘there in a dark corner, And it seemed unnecessary, too. So Parker walked to a point where he could see better. He did not go far. But he went far enough to plunge a wildly happy nation into mourning and to change the | nation’s futur The civil war was over. Lee had just surrendered to Grant. The struggle that for four long years had cast a black shadow over the country was at last ended, Peace—victorious, splendid peace—was at hand. The whole land rejoiced. And the centre and object of a people's gratitude was a gigantically tall, thin man, with @ homely, gentle face—a man who had carried the United States sately through its gravest danger and who was now about to reap the reward of his mighty labor. He was Abraham Léncoin, The Southern States had seceded in 1361. The war had dragged on with vary ing fortunes, For each mishap LancoIn had been blamed, When raw troops failed to accomplish such feats as seasoned veterans could scarce have accomplished when incompetent generals bungled and lost battle or campaign—the ignominy for it was all hurled at Lincoln. Political opponents cursed him. Europe sneered at his gawky form, his uncouth manners, his quaint, backwoods speech, Lincolm bore it all without complaint; working calmly, steadfastly toward the goal he had set out to reach. But he reached it, The rebellion was over. Those who had been loudest in blaming the President were the first to render him adoring praise. ‘Though the actual conflict was past, there still remained a tremendous task to accomplish. The nation that had been saved must be restored to a perfect Union, The evil growth that had been so violently cut away from the body politic had left a terrific wound whose healing would require the wisdom of a genius. But the people were content to leave that difficult cure to Lincoln, They knew his gentle wisdom would be equal to the “cure"—and that no other man could be trusted to perform it, For much of America's smmediate future depended on the | way this work should be done, Lincoln was as necessary to the country then as during the war itself, Washington was full of returning soldiers, of exulting patriots. A gala per- , formance at Ford's Theatre was to mark the restoration of peace. Lincoln end av" his family were invited to attend. The President accepted the invitation and, on \ the evening of Friday, April 13, 186 (Good Friday), went there with his wife and - two friends. A guard was stationed outside the President's box; more as a bit of routine than from any actual fear of danger, For, now that the war was finished, there appeared to be no reason to believe that any one would attempt Lincoln's life. His existence was ay needful to the welfare of the crusned South as to that of the triumphant North. No American President had been assassinated. And, since Lincoln had survived years | of hatred, ne seomed utterly safe in his hour of succe Yet the President himself felt otherwise, He was superstitious. And several strange omens had lately oppressed him. He had seen what he believed to be pallid ghost of himself hovering above his actual body. He had dreamed of NEW LIGHT IN CONGRESS. A BILL providing for an inheritance tax in the Dis- trict of Columbia has been opposed on the ground that it would raise too much revenue. As one of “Under the law the raised by taxation in Washington is duplicated in an appropriation by, Congress, and thus the people of the whole couptry will be taxed.” This interest in the welfare of the people of the whole count | this objection to imposing taxation upon them, is the more notable t { the objectors said: sum War and Victory! because it is so rare and so unexpected. When the tariff bill was being prepared and the big interests were demanding heavy taxes on the people, Co’ Neither did it refuse heavy appropriations for warships and other Ors «tingo purposes, nor for the swollen pension fund, nor for pork barrel } appropriations. 4 Now that there has been proposed a tax whose burden will fall ‘ npon wealth instead of poverty, whose revenues will be expended for BR 2 ) ‘the improvement of the Capital of the nation and not for the benefit bk mee oy i of a trust or a contractor, there is a sudden interest in the welfare 13 of the taxpayer.
