Lincoln as I Knew Him

Hon. Whitelaw Reid In Leslie's.
He was net perpetually telling hui
morous and sometimes risque stories
in the White House," he had no such
conception of the duties of states
man in exalted position and In a
time Of extreme peril, On the con-
trary, he probably told fewer stories
during his whole stay in the White
House than any previous year OF his
adult life; and for every one he did
tell, hundred poorer aud coarser
ones were fathered on him. Nor did
his stories call for the unctuous and
superfluous excuse that they afforded
him needed relief from the sadness
of the time. No doubt he was sad 10
the White House, but he had been
sad all his life. The wit and humor
with which his stories overflowed were
an essential part Of his strange, 'front.'
Ter nature, as essential as his melan-
choly, his ready sympathies or his
ambition. He had no designations
and no other amusements; instead
Of these, he told stories from boy
hood to admiring comrades. He told
them uncommonly well, and IN
public they always illustrated his
argument ana helped him carry his
point. Nothing, for instance, could
have made palmer his view about the
unfitness of the three sailers to
assume the place of great national
party and, with their one idea,
undertake the complex duties of
carrying on the government of the
country than his story, at Worcester,

A man is put into the penitentiary
for only one reason and that is, he
has violated the law protecting the
rights Of society, through his act tc-
ward the individual wronged. There
are corollary considerations involved;
The man is locked up not solely for
punishment, for the refmorative
feature Of punishment Is becoming
more and more generally recognized.
But so long as man does not wrong
the community through the in
divldual he will nevertheless the
court or jury errs-go to the peni-
Tertiary. Thus far no effective
method has been devised of punish
ing only the man who Is primarily
guilty, if he has family But the
same society which takes away the
support from the innocent family
certainly owes something 10 the
family thus punished for no offense
Of its own. The theory of the
Kansas bill recognizes this equity of
the family,
Many worthless and lazy man IS
permitted to neglect his family so
long as he does not commit any overt
otfense. But so soon as he does he is
locked up, and then his idleness ends
He is compelled to labor, and labor
hard and steadily. 1t is only just
that his family should have the

TAFT WILL run
SURELY FOR The
PRESIDENCY
Whether His Administration
Is Creditable or Not,
He Will Run.

Washington, D. c., May 23.-Whether
he faces possible victory or a sure de-
feat. president Taft viii be a candidate
for denomination when the Republican
convention meets a year from now
This was stated today on the highest
authority.
MIR. Taft believes that if the prospects
of the Republican party are bright
next year he viii be entitled TO the re-
nomination because of his administra-
ton.
If clouds obscure Republican success
the president believes that, having
been honored by the party with one
nomination, it is his duty TO go to the
front even in the face Of defeat, in de-
fence OF his administration
President Taft and former president
Roosevelt are on the same terms of In
timacy that characterized their rela-
lions when Mr. Taft was member of
president Roosevelt's cabinet.
There have been disagreements over
details and policies. but no difference
has involved the regard of one man for
the other personally, nor has it at any
time degenerated int a question Of
politics.
Friends of the president are certain
he will have opposition, especially if
Republican prospects are bright. In
fact. these friends and advisers are
aware Of an existing movement to
wrest the nomination from president
Taft if prospects Of Republican success
are bright
This opposition Is divided into two
factions. and according to friends of
the president these factions are oppos-
ing each other The factions are:
The LaFollette movement, backed by
the Progressive Republican league
The Illinois Republican state commit
tee backed by senator Lorimer.
The former viii have nothing to do
with the latter and the latter will have
nothing TO do with the former. Lori
mer and his henchmen are for nominal
ing reactionary.
This information is in writing in the
hands Of the presidents friends 1t
is being sent out to the doubling
Thomases
The opposition to the president Is
confined TO nine states, according to
the latest statistics in the hands of
the administration forces. The elm
ination of Illinois, controlled by the
Lorimer faction. leaves but eight Tor

6ence of the officiaI head of the revo-
lutionary movement. Orozco has proved
his bravery and his willingness TO fight
under adverse circumstances. He has
taken the field again and is marching
southwark. This time he is in command
of an army better armed and equipped
than he has heretofore had.
When the troops belonging TO Pas
cual Orozco's command Sunday departed
from Ciudad Juarez for Casas Grandes
on the North Eastern of Mexico rail-
road, this was the second departure of
Orozco's soldiers from Juarez. The first
time he came here We all know of, and
how he scared up the town of JuareZ
and made the Americans on this side
of the Rio Grande think there was go
ing to be a big fight. Before arriving
at Bauche he had crossed the desert
from Casas Grandes to Ahumada, took
that town, seized two trains to the
Mexican capital and came up the rail-
road to Bauche. Here Rabago passed
him on his way to relieve Juarez, but

JAIL TERMS FOR
BRIBE WITNESSES
Old Statute Gives Authority
to Sentence Unwilling
Witnesses.

Columbus, O.. May 2S.-The comrait-
tee of 10 appointed by the senate to in
vestigate the charges of bribery made
against members of that body, called
as witnesses today, E. E. Cook and c..
c. Lyon, of Columbus, and A. c.. Cross.
of Cincinnati, and Ralph G. Leblond, or
Toledo, legislative correspondents, but
all refused through attorneys, to tes-
tify.
The committee has unearthed an old
statute which seems to confer on 1t
authority to impose jail sentences for
contempt witnesses VINO refuse TO tes-
tify.
Among the reasons for the refusal OF
the four newspaper men TO testify is
that they received such Information
concerning the bribery scandal in con-
fidence.
Warrants will be served this after
noon on the witnesses who refused to
testify.

Orozco did not give battle to Rabago,
although implored to do so by some
Americans who were at Bauche at the
time. and who thought there was a
good chance going to waste After
Rabago passed Orozco was compelled
to go to the Rio Grande on account o:
water and food being scarce, or worse,
there being none.
When it was rumored that Gen. Ma
yarro was coming up from Chihuahua
Orozco's forces disappeared from the
smelter and he was next heard from at
Samalayuca- 80 miles south of Juarez.
He was expected to stop Navarro, but
two days before the latter's arrival at
Salamayuca Orozco's forces left for
Casas .Grandes.
Orozco is tall, we'll built and fair for
a Mexican, and in shape OF features re-
sembles some types of the American.
He looks very serious, even sad, and
his generalship consisted in being able
to pass by nearly every opportunity for
fight until the time was ripe He did
not attack Juarez the first time he
came because he had not the men That
was what his captains said, and no
doubt this was really the truth. Whether
it was his idea or some one above him
the scheme was carried QUITO make
trouble, call attention of the world to
the state OF war IN mexico ana fisk
nothing. Maybe a disaster would have
discouraged the poems that mostly COM
posed his army, and crippled the revo-
luton. Anyhow. these soldiers Of
Orozco knew that the big, serious-faced
captain was taking no chances where
their lives were concerned. He was not
caring what the. world thought. When
it was rumored that CONSUMPTION would
be started by the federal government,
the people of chihuahua all said If that
came they would join Orozco, because
he took good care not to sacrifice his
men, and that the federal generals did
not care anything about the lives OF
the soldiers.

FederaIs Slip Out.
Neither citizens nor the attacking
force were advised of Lejuro's inten-
tons, Mr.. Lampe asserts, and he holds
this omission is responsible for the
havoc wrought by the insurrectos
Monday morning.
AS the rebels came into the city,
a party of Chinese resisted the insur-
recto advance at the Chinese quarter
and four were killed. Chinese under
arms were informed that their banks
would be looted If they opened fire.
The invading forces conferred their fire
on the Chinese, practically exterminat-
ing the colony. Emilio Madero arrived
Sunday evening and assumed personal
command of the rebel troops That
Madero will respect the peace agree

Lampe says, a general exodus of

A New Head.

Readers will no doubt notice
a change in the appearance of the
first page of the-paper this week.
The old headline has been dis
carded and a new one takes it's
place. The heading had become
considerably worn from long
usage, and as it was necessary
to get new one the style of the
type was also changed.
We hope to be able to keep
making improvements from time
to time and put the paper in the
front rank of Kansas papers both
mechanically and otherwise.
The new head is beauty and
a very late style and we hope
that whatever regrets our read
ers may have in seeing the old
line disappear will be more than
offset by the pleasure of seeing
so handsome a line take it's place.
