II lncOlu Had Only Known.

In his easy dismissal of state
rights, President Roosevelt de-
clares that those who appeal to
them "to protect state corporate
creatures" are as short sighted
as those who once invoked the
same doctrine to prevent the
special slave holding interest. "
Well, what was the fact, and
what the law? State rights did
not prevent the national gov
eminent from interfering direct
ly with slavery except in the
District of Columbia and the ter
ritories. Moreover, the Republi,
can party in 1860 expressly dis
claimed any Intention or any
legal power to interfere with it.
Its platform contained the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That the maiute-
nance inviolate of the rights
of the states, and especially
the right of each state to order
and control it's own domestic in
situations according to its own
Judgment exclusively, is essential
TO that balance of power on
which the perfection and endur.
ance of our political fabric
depend"
In pursuance of that, Lincoln
said in his first inaugural: II
have no purpose, directly, to
interfere with the institution of
slavery in the states where it
exists. / believe / have no law.
full right to do so." Everybody
can now see what a mistake this
was. If Abraham Lincoln had
only had the advantage of a
thorough training in football,
be would have pushed aside
the rights OF the states and

". first to Robert Hole, by whom she
had two sons. James M. and Leander,
and after divorcing him to James
Dickson.
Strangest Of all in the petition is the
accusation that she was SO successful
In concealing her marital history as
to be enabled to keep Montgomery in
ignorance Of It all during the 81
years she lived with him, notwith-
standing that Dickson, husband No. 2,
resided near them.
When Dickson died Montgomery
learned In some way of the deception
that had been practiced upon him and
1t was an added blow when he discov-
cred that his 400-acre farm had been
converted into cash and that much of
the proceeds had been appropriated
by his wife. Angered beyond meas
ure, he demanded the money and at
the same time ordered her from the
house. She did not refund, but left
the house, taking the money with her,
which, 1t is alleged, she gave to her
two sons by her first husband.
The disclosures came about through
the death Of James Dickson, husband
No. 2. The worry of it all affected
Montgomery's health and he died on
December 2. 1904. The woman sur.
vived until September 8, 1905, when
she, too, was stricken with a fatal Ill.
ness.
1t is alleged that she left $4,000,
and that her sons, James M. and
Leander Hole. took possession of the
money. The suit just entered asks
that this money be returned as well
as other moneys which the woman
gave to the Hole boys, aggregating in
ell about $4,000.
