LINCOLN'S JOKE.
Fixing the Responsibility For the Loss
Of Harpers Ferry.

Fixing the Responsibility For the Loss
Of Harpers Ferry.
President Lincoln's jokes, especially
when perpetrated in connection with
grave matters. usually had a purpose
In them. After Ice had taken Har-
pers Ferry the president, realizing how
great a calamity It was to the north
ern arms, determined If possible to fix
the responsibility for the loss Of the
important position.
Halleck was summoned, but did not
know where the blame lay. VERY
WELL" said Lincoln, "Ill ask General
Schenck." The latter could throw no
light upon the question, further than
to say that he was not to blame. Mil
roy was the next to be called to the
presence Of the commander in chief
and to enter a plea Of mot guilty"
Hooker was next given a hearing, and
Fighting Joe" made a very emphatic
disclaimer of all responsibility.
Then the president assembled the
four generals in his room and said to

ing across the room several times the
president suddenly threw up his bow

know who is responsible."
"WhO Mr.. President; who is it,
asked the distinguished quartet as they
looked anxious, if not troubled.
"Gentlemen," said the president,
with a meaning twinkle in his eye,
General Lee is the man.
There was a lack of mirth in the
laugh created, and the our generals
took their departure with a determina-
ton that they would not again be
placed under suspicion.

Labor Law Restriction Better
Than Freedom of Contract.

Dy RICHARD + ELY. Professor 81 Political Economy, University ofW Wisconsin
\ examination of MODERN theories Of population and
wages reveals the existence Of no doctrine which in itself is
II antagonistic to labor legislation in itself, and as a matter Of
fact it would be difficult to find such antagonsm among the
leading economists of the world today. Undoubtedly these ccono-
msts would hold most of the proposals for labor legislation lMPEAC-
T1CABLE AND EVEN VISIONARY; that, on the other hand,
they agree with substantial unanimity upon a large number of pro-
posed labor laws.
The economic grounds for labor legislation are revealed best when
the subject is approached from the viewpoint of ONTRACT OR

URGE MODEL
LICENSE LAW
PRESSURE OF ANTI-SALOON
LAWS HAS FORCED DEALERS
THEMSELVES TO UNITE TO
WIPE OUT GROCERIES

LOUISVILLE. KY. Jan. 21.-A
model license law to offset the de-
mands of the prohibitionists, is
urged by representative brewers,
distil'ers and liquor dealers, who
assembled in Louisville today for
the first national convention of the
Model License League The deliber-
ations of the liquor men will be
continued tomorrow 1t is hoped to
start public campaign in which
the model license law will be Of
fered as a solution of the problem of
the regulation and control of the
liquor traffic. Prohibition has be-
come paramount issue in the south
and is rapidly spreading through
out the country, and 1t is the hope
of heading off this anti-saloon cru
SADIE that the Model License league
has in view Liquor men state that
tntoxicants are used In as large
quantities In dry" territory as in
wet states, but that the trade Is

houses. 1t is expected that the pro-
posed model" law governing the
sale of ardent spirits will be in
troduced in many state legislatures
in the near future.
Colonel Thomas w. Gilmore IS the
president Of the league and the Of
fetal evangelist of the new liquor
law. He urges the Importance of
the wine, beer whiskey and collat-
sral trades becoming a unit in de-
tense Of the trade and taking a firm
stand for the elevation Of the sa-
DON and the wiping out Of the low
lives and the cheap groggeries,
which are branded as a menace to
The trade.

Some of the ideas embodied in the
leagues recommendations for a
madel law are: That all licenses
now outstanding be continued I'M
less cancelled by a majority of the
voters; that the licenses be trans
ferrable and that no license be is

by the liquor men, addresses will be

Never before has the Colonial period
appealed to the public with such force
as now, when the country has Just
celebrated her three hundredth ami
sversary as a world power, and modern
builders are borrowing from that archl-
lecture for their latter-day mansions,
while antiquarians are greedily gath
ering stray bits OF old-time furniture
In the hope Of gaining new ideas
from ancient Illustrations.
The pardonable pride that exists in
all Virginians In the richness OF her
possessions of that historic period. has
gradually been infused into every loyal
American who feels a personal share
and interest In all that pertains to
the Mother Of States, but In particular
to the great plantations.
In Charles City county, about thirty
miles from Richmond, on the north
bank of the picturesque James, roll
the many acres OF rare old Shirley"
laid Off and named by Sir Thomas Dale
in 1911. This estate, which supposed
ly was given Its name in honor of Sir
Thomas Shirley, OF Winston, Eng
land, came first into prominence as
the country scat of Colonel Edward
Hill, who erected the present manor
house about 1860.
AS the only SOH OIL Solulel LII #ulhu
without heirs, SHIRLEY" passed to his
daughter, Elizabeth. a noted beauty OF
tho day, who, through her marriage to
Secretary Carter, brought the estate
into that famous family, though their
son, Charles Carter, was the first OF
the name to 1.-Two there.
The mansion, which is distinctly diff
ferent from most OF the James River
homesteads In appearance, was en-
tensivsiy altered by Charles Carter In
1875, when the hipped roof was changed
to a mansard adorned by a row of dor
NOR windows, and the double-declter
porticos We're added on both the land
and water fronts. The dwelling Is
placed on n high bluff about 200 yards
| from the river hank. and though we'll
screened by century-old trees, Is
clearly visible from the deck OF tho
daily boats whose passengers look
with Interest upon the square rcd
brick structure. with its-white-p painted

Of romantic and historic association.

tally is seen in the handsome carving
of the mantels and doorways, a pretty
thought, and one more than lived up
to by the generations of Hills and
Carriers to whom Shirley" has been
home.
The walls throughout the interior
are finely paneled, and in the great hall
is a remarkably beautiful stairway,
beneath which sits the quaint old
desk used by Charles Carter long be-
fore the Revolutionary War. On tina
walls hang priceless collection Of
family portraits, among which tho
visage of old King Carter frowps down
upon the stranger and friend. The
rare family crested silver is shown
with pride In the dining which
is dominated by full-length portrait
OF George Washington from the brush
OF Charles Wilson Peale. Shirley
Is rich in many treasures that are
without their duplicates. and one could
lnger lntermlnably among such in
teresting relics OF a past, historic age.
The large garden on the south side
Of the house is entered through
curious gateway, which has evidently
been there since the garden was laid
out by Mary Carter IN early 1900. Tho
superb box hedges cnclrcling 1t, and
In part the grounds, are the chief fea-
ture of the Landscape architecture,
