Mr.. Lincoln was an evolutionary
product. He was at first opposed TO
the spread of slavery; he became an
abolitionist after his election to the
presidency. But unquestionably the
forces behind him had for their ulti-
mate object the freeing of the
blacks. In their platform of 1852,
when Franklin Pierce was the nomi-
nee. the democrats declared that
congress had no power under the
constitution to interfere with or con-
troll the domestic institutions of the
several states, thus indicating an
approaching storm. In 1856, with
James Buchanan as their nominee,
the democrats specifically declared
against the interference of congress
with slavery in the territories, or in
The District OF Columbia. This ques-
ZION grew and grew until it brought
the great civil war, although, as al
ready said, Mr.. Lincoln was not in
the beginning pronounced aboli-

Tolstoi, the great Russian reformer.
This very thing this appeal to
mems better impulses may cause
numbers to rally TO his support on
tomorrow and so give him the pres
idency.
We do not berate Mr. Taft He's
very good man. But We can never
think of him as a climber on his own
account He won Roosevelt's favor
and Roosevelt compelled the reuub-
lican party to give him this nomina-
ton. Somewhat better balanced than
Roosevelt, yet he stands for the two
things which we most reprobate. to-
wit. Capitalization and protection.
But these are scarcely issues in this
campaign, for the reason-and we
are concealing nothing-that it We're
difficult 10 distinguish between the
two contestants as to Capitalization
and the tariff has not been under
discussion from the democratic side.
If Taft is elected there will be no
marked change in governmental
methods He has better poise than
Roosevelt, but it remains to be seen,
in the event of his election. if he
has the Roosevelt quality of sticking
once he is mounted. to the back OF
the bucking broncho. If Bryan is
elected there will be a reversal of
republican policies as to the Philip
pines and a consequent reduction IN
governmental expenses. The south
will be made to feel that it is a vital
part OF the union. 1t might be ar
gued that the south is responsible
for its isolated position, but the ans
wer to that is that the south has
problem all it's own and must be
true at all times to its own ciViliza-
ton. Whenever the republican party
manifests a Willingness to recognize
this fact and to govern. itself accord
ingly il will unquestienably win re-
cruits in this section, for we have
among us plenty of men who belleVe
in Capitalization and in protection
and who are yet impelled by another
consideration to vote the democratic
ticket.

taking care not to confound the
powers reserved to them, with those

statement was born of necessity, but

RIVALS FIGHT FOR LOVE
Desperate Hand-to-Hand Struggle in
Front of Blast Furnace Has
Fatal Ending.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Through the death
today of Nicholas Vidovicm, the story
of a dramatic hand-to-hand struggle on
the top of blast furnace of the Iro-
quois Iron company for the possession
of a pretty Polish girl, was made
known.
Vidovicm. according to George Det-
lick, an eyewitness. crept up behind
his rival, Ivan Mealitch. and attempted
to throw him into the fiery pit below.
Both men fell to the narrow platform,
but recovered their footing and con-
tinued the struggle. The news was
spread about the plant and work was
dropped by all hands to watch the
thrilling struggle with its background
of flames. Suddenly Mealitch broke
away and felled his antagonist with a
crowbar.
Mealitch then gave himself up to a
policeman. He declared that his rival
had long been seeking a chance to
throw him into the furnace.
