Babe. Soul Tainted, Dr.. Hir.oh Says,

Babes Soul Tainted, Dr.. Hirsch Says.
"Those who think that the soul OF a
babe is as pure white paper preach
twaddle," said DR.. Emil Hirsch, Of
Chicago, in discussing regeneration.
'Man may choose his mother-in-law,
but not his mother. Heredity and en-
vironment have much to do with the
character of person. II we knew ex-
actly how much they and other agen-
cies exert influence we could figure out
exactly the character of a man just as
we can the eclipse of the sun. It is
taught in the Book that the sins Of a
man shall be visited upon his children
even to the third and fourth generation
To get moral regeneration we must
have a change Of surroundings and
love. Change the conditions IL you
hope to change the character.
1--WE have moral geniuses and moral
idiots. The latter should not be placed
in penitentiaries. Just as we'll try to
cure typhoid fever by such incarcera-
ton as try to cure a moral idiot by
placing him in prison. Some OF these
moral idiots are hopeless.

4, said: Packard, it's time enough for
you to resign when Hayes and Tllden
resign" Hayes was governor of ONO
and Tilden of New York. Packard re-
piled, There is good deal OF violence
in louisiana / don't want to make
my campaign under the shield of the
national government" "Your pluck Is
better than your judgment" returned
the president, "and I'll try to keep
peace in Louisiana. He did try but the
chronicles of the time show that he
failed signally to do it.
A Brave Mans Campaign.
1t was stirring campaign. The
night riders were out, colored and
white republicans were brutally beaten.
murder was not infrequent and assault
a common occurrence. Quietly and
without bravado Packard canvassed
the state speaking to audiences IN
which hundreds Of concealed pistols
hungered for his life. His supporters
took on courage. The republican party
in the state voted in the face of threats
and intimidation. When the vote was
counted Packard had 1900 more votes
than the lowest Hayes elector. Vio-
lence had been rife Committees came
from Washington to see fair count.
Some precincts where fraud and open
violence had been plain and patent
were cast out by the returning board.
The newspapers (den) elected Tilden.
The returning board gave in Hayes.
The story of the Joint High Commits
sion has been written. The legislature
showed a republican majority. 1t
counted the vote and declared the cleo
ton of Packard as governor and c. c.
Antoine as lieutenant governor. Pack
ard took his seat. The democrats set
up a governor and a legislature that
could not count quorum. Packard's
government was in the statehouse. The
other in hall up town. The White
League was up in arms. Ten thousand
men armed with rifles waited the word
to attack the republican government.
They were officered by confederate
generals and armed with state arms.
Behind Gov. Packard was President
Grant and the U. s. army. President
Grant ordered both governments to
hold to statu quo. Without that order
the streets OF the city would have been
red with blood.

Attempt to Assassinste.

Threats to assassine.te Packard were
too common to nouce. One attempt
came close to success. The assassin
gained admittance to the governor in
the character Of correspondent for
the Philadelphia Press. He was given
a seat and told to wait. Turning the
governor saw a pistol leveled at his
head. He rose and struck the man just
as the explosion came. The murderer
fell with Governor Packard above.
AS he wrenched the weapon from the
assassin's hand one of the bystanders
fired shooting the latter thru the arm
and an attempt to kill him where he
lay required all the governors strength
and command to prevent. Packard had
disarmed him, saved his life, turned
him over to an officer and went on
with the business Of the Office. 1t de-
veloped that the pistol had missed fire
the explosion having been that Of the
percussion cap. The bravo wondered
later that he had failed confessing that
he had gone to the precaution to have
the pistol loaded by gunsmith for
the purpose Of assassinating Packard
Packard held his office in the midst Of
alarms and upheld the republican party
and the national government at the
daily and hourly risk Of his life.

/ it. In the midst of violent and in

/ heedlessly unaffected by threats Of

had been prentice to a profession OF
which violence is a necessary part. He
was used to danger. To this man
President Grant turned attracted by his
t personality and character and urged by
the united voices Of the defenseless in
/ Louisiana and appointed him sUnited
4 States marshal It was urged upon the
president that all men would get q fair
! deal and that the weak would not suf-
fer wrong while he as a federal Of
f1cer could prevent 1t. The lieutenant
governor Of Louisiana made his special
4 plea for Packard's nomination that he
was the only man in whom the colored
people Of the state could feel conf
/ dence. Packard held the office during
the four years Of Grants term-and
was the first marshal reappointed by
Grant on his reelection to the presi-
dency. The reason for the promptitude
Of the president was that the expense
Of the district had been less than any
other in the U. S. So wrote Grants
attorney, General Taft, the father Of
| the next president of this nation.
His manner of conducting his office
drew unwilling praise from his enc;
mics. Packard stood for the law and
the rights Of all men under the law.
He ran down and captured men who
had felt themselves immune from pros
ecution. Intimidation and murder did
not cease but they became sporadic
more than calculated under his admin
istration. He feared none and stood
without flinching befor the rights of
the defenseless. under the flag. He
believed in nation with big N. He
was capable, fearless, strong. To him
| as a natural leader and defender gath
cred the scattered remnants of pro
unionists and new citizenship and those
of the New South that afterward spoke
to the north in the voice Of Henry
Grady, the men who knew the war was
over, the battle lost and saw the need
Of readaptation to the new era.
Hayes TiIden Issue Involved.
The story of Stephen B. Packard's
election to the governorship of Louisi-
ana, and his abdication is closely inter-
woven with the deadlock between
Hayes and Tilden over the memorable
election dispute of 1876. It has never
been written Intimately, nor will be
except with Gov. Packard's permis-'
sion. Time and clearer vision than
the passions Of that day permitted has
given a better view of the conditions
of that period and the political exigen-
cies which to the minds of politicians
excused and justified much that to
present day condemns. But Packard
was governor of Louisiana by election
and by declaration of the legislature
of Louisiana.

A Negro Woman Saved Him.

On another occasion an old negro
nanny sought an audience with the
governor She had a thrilling story
to relate. Colored servants had over
heard plot laid whereby Packard was
to be taken from his carriage and
killed or kidnapped. .Yo' mustn't go
home yore regular way governah," she
insisted. "Dey'll kill you sho!" Pack
ard tested the story by putting three
trusty officers into his carriage and
sent 1t home by his accustomed route
The attack was made on the carriage
as per schedule, but the assassins
found themselves looking into the muz-
zles Of revolvers held by determined
men. They were arrested and thrown
into prison. Packard went about his
duties in the ordinary way. The plot
and the narrow margin of its failure
was only part Of the days work. He
held the outpost Of the republican par
ty Of the south as he had led his
company into action years before.

toric but unheralded and unchronicled
meeting at Wormley's Hotel in Wash
ington between "Ohio politicians" and
a democrat committee Filibustering

fell into the basket. Packard abdi-
Gated. He had become one of the mo-
table sacrifices to political and par
tisan expediency. It is a story that
serves to accentuate and strengthen
any claim s. B. Packard might make
upon the republican party.

Here ne continued until the regi-
ment was called east to bear Its part
in the closing scenes Of the war in
1864. with it he joined Sheridan's
army on August 2. At the battle OF
winchester. Captain Packard led the
color company Of the Twelfth into that
memorable action in the van OF the
great assault. They drove the enemy
to within a short distance OF Win
chester. Refusing to halt, the Maine
men fixed bayonets and swept the en-
envy from their front. Stonewall Jack
sons Invincibles crushed the Second
Corps and it retreated. leaving thu
Maine regiment without support. Dog
gedly the men from Maine fell back,
disputing every inch of the bloody
ground they had won and losing heav-
ily under terrible crossfire of shrap-
mel and grape. Indeed, eleven men OF
Pack;lrd's company absolutely re-
fused to yield an inch, and stayed to
be killed or captured where they stood.
Stone wallis advance was checked and
when Sheridan's cavalry swept down
the enemy broke and the power of the
confederacy had met its first defeat In
the Valley of the Shenandoah. Cedar
Crceh. followed, and here the captain
of B company again led his veterans
into action, suffered the agonies OF
apparent defeat and the joy of the I'LL
innate victory brought by Sheridan
from Winchester, twenty miles away
The term OF the Twelfth had long ex-
pired, but every man stayed on to be
in at the death. When Sheridan had
