But in itself it will not be e.fficient to assure a celebration | worthy of the day and equal to the demands of the enormous popu- | Istion for whose enjoyment it is to provide. The plans arranged | by the committee in charge of the festival call for an expenditure | ef upward of $100,000. The mm given by the city government| must, therefore, be duplicated by popular subscription. An appeal | for such contributions has been already largely responded to. But! the response should be general. In a patriotic observance where | all are expected to share in the festivities and observances, there should be a widespread willingness to share also in defraying the cost. 2042 — A PRETTY TURN ABOUT. F all the prognostications concerning the Prosi- | dential year with which idle politicians are passing time away, that which is prettiest in concept and) pleasantest in forecast is the snggestion that| the Republican convention turn Taft down and nominate Hughes. When Hughes was offered a position on the) Supreme Bench some folks believed Taft was doing selfish politice— that his aim was to rid himself of a dangerous rival for the Presi- dency in 1912. There were other folks who thought the offer was made with sadness of heart and that Taft would have preferred himself to be a Justice of the Supreme Court rather than President. | The present suggestion, therefore, that Hughes be brought back into | the arena, and that Taft be sidetracked, carries with it the intima- tion that possibly Hughes may be able to repay the favor shown him, by appointing Taft to the bench. There are two defects to the proposition: First, it is not likely | Hughes can beat Taft for the nomination; second, it is not likely | either of them can beat the Democratic nominee next year. But otherwise it is quite interesting. | ————+- 4 ____ A WAR OF WOMEN. ETWEEN the set in Washington that ts ambas- sadorial in aspiration and courtly in manner, and| that other set in the public service that works for its money, there appears to be a constant grind that keeps the fighting edge always sharp. How else can we understand why some one thousand girls of the Census Bureau scorned the other day to accept ice cream from the stately dames of “The Woman’s Welfare Department of the National Civic Federation”? | It is true that in refusing the gift the Census ladies said: “If | the women of the Welfare Department have money to spare let | them buy ice cream for the poor. We of the Census Bureau can | buy ice cream for ourselves.” But that statement was clearly a fashion of defiance.

No ¢—The Plot te Murder a President-Elect on the Way to His Inauguration. TALL, bony man in a soft hat, travelling suit and plaid shawl! stepped quietly out through the side entrance of a Harrisburg, Wl Pa., hotel on the night of Washington's Birthday, 1861; jumped into a carriage between two special guards, and wos driven away through the darkness. The man was Abraham Lincoln, who was on his way to Washington to ‘de inaugurated President of the United States. Hie odd action in leaving the Harrisburg hotel by stealth was part of a clever ruse whereby he ee caped falling victim to the first of many plote against his life. Plot after plot, during the next four years, was to be made for hia death or kidnapping, but he seemed to bear @ charmed life until his great m!* | 6ton of saving the Union was accomplished. Then, in the first flush of vic- tory, be was to die at an assassin’s hand—another instance of the Napoleon ‘maxim, “Man fe immortal till his work is done.” , Our country was on the very edge of civil war. The South, resenting the North's attitude toward slavery, wee preparing to break away from he Union. Under mild olf President Buchanan the Southerners were allowed to work almost openly for thie coming breach end to seise government ammunition. Then, in November, 168, Abraham Lincoln wae dected Prestéent. Tle hatred of slavery and his resolve te prevent secession were well knows. ‘Hie election meant en almost instant clash.
