MIR. Lincoln Accepted Victory
at Antietam as Indication
That Human Chattels
Should Be Freed.

~EPTEMBER %, 1912, will be the fiftieth
anniversary of the signing by Abra-
~ ham Lincoln of the Emancipation
Proclamation. a document which. in the
language Of Nicolay and Hay, ''ushered In
the great political regeneration OF the
American people" on the morning Of
September %. six days after the battle OF
Artietam. Il was published in many OF the
papers of the country, including the III
bune. The fact that il was issued so soon
after the battle was not an ACCIDENT
president Lincoln, who had been consider
ing the question for months, had made
VOW that If God gave the Union arms the
victory in the approaching battle with Lee
he would consider il an indication OF DIVINE
will that he should move forward in the
cause of emancipation. He believed that
the results at the battle Of Anuetam
were an evidence that God had decided the
question in favor Of the slaves. The paper
which n had prepared almost exactly two
months before. therefore, was brought
forth. the language altered In some par
ticulars and issued to the surprise OF the
public. which had been wondering for a
long time which side of the question OF
actually freeing the slaves the President
would take, and had been badgerinS hlm
10 take one side or the other of the issue.
While theoretically the object Of the war
was the preservation of the Union, the
black head of the slave persisted In SHOW
ing itself at all points. From the beginning
Of the war. whenever the Union forces
gained possession of Southern localities
such as Port ROYAL and New Orleans. the

lection Of Father Abraham and the
Union armies They did not object to TINS

'I.inkum" gunboats and the "LAnkum
soldiers. They became a problem. They
could pc used IN the performance of phys
zeal labor in the service Of the United
states. and, being property, IL was con

PROBLEM MORE INSISTENT,

The problem of abolition of all slaVers
grow more insstent for solution from both
military and political points OF view. The
negroes, although not cOmbatants, greatly
assisted the cause of the South through
their work on the plantations While their
masters were engaged in hShunS III the
armies of the COnfederacy. They also were
OF service in the construction OF Con-
fcderate earthwOrks. relieving the soldier
3,on this arduous task. From the political
point of view it was evident that slavery
could not continue but how could it be
abolished, assuming that II should be wiped
out9 The loyal North had different views
on this point which had TO be considered
There were two opinions in the border
STATES. where there were loyal slave hold
ers Lincoln had made up his mind that
50 far as he was concerned he would fight
for the preservation of the Union as
whole SO long as he had any support.
What would become of the slave when
the rebellion was broken and the Union
restored:
Congress. at his suggestion, offered 10
compensate those in the border slave states
who should release their slaves, but this
produced no results. Congress had pre-

actually employed in the military service
OF the Confederacy to he free. 1t was
ordered that negroes who escaped from
their masters and came into the Union
lines should not be assisted by the Union
army TO return. There were TO be no
slaves in the territories Of the United
States. Congress emancipated those in the
District of Columbia, and provision was
made for their education. y new confis-
cation act was passed and signed on July
j. 1862, by President Lincoln This was
entitled. AN act to destroy slavery under

What Christmas Presents
Shall | Make?

This depends much upon the persons to
whom you make them, but in more
cases than you probably imagine, no
present could be made which would con-
tribute more to the welfare of the recip'
lent than a deposit book in the Hyde
Park Savings Bank.
This Bank never declines deposit be-
cause it is small. Any sum from single
cent to million dollars will be received
and per cent interest allowed, com
pounded semi-annually.
Remember the Bank pays all taxes and
if the donor wishes to qualify the de-
post by saying it must not be with
drawn until some specified day, as for
instance, when the recipient is IS or 2l
years of age, it is entirely proper to
make the deposit in this way.
Let the pass-book be accompanied by
nice letter from the donor to the recip'
lent urging thrift and suggesting that
this little nest egg be added to from time
to time as the recipient has a few cop.
pers that he or she can save.
We do not need to tell you about the
strength and solditv of the Hyde Park
Savings Bank, but if you would like any
facts connected with the Bank, write
the President, Carroll S. Page, or the
Treasurer, F. NJ. Culver, and you will
receive prompt reply.

THE GAMBLERS.
Something About the Drama to be Pre-
sented Here Friday.

Something About the Drama to be Pre-
scented Here Friday.
The Gamblers, last season s most sue
cessful serious drama in New York,
(which recorded a remarkable run of over
200 consecutive performances at Maxine
Elliott's theater, comes to the audi
tOrium Friday evening, Dec. Is, under
the management of The Authors Pro-
ducing company, of which John Cort is
president. In this gripping play by
Charles Klein, author of The Music
Master, The Lion and the Mouse, The
Third Degree, Maggie Peppe, and others
of merit, the story arises out OF the ope-
rations of one Wilbur Emerson, who,
with several others associated with him
in the banking business, uses the money
of their depositOrs in an effort to fight
the several larger banks which are en-
deavoring to crush them.
All this would be very well but for
the fact that Emerson has gotten his
father to endorse certain notes without
telling him of the real purpose to which
he intends to put them, and if he were
not very fond of Mrs. Darwin, the wife
of the prosecuting lawyer for the dis
trict attorney. Emerson hears of the
fact that Darwin intends to set the
federal wheels working in time to save
everybody's skin, for he has borrowed
enough money to pay back the notes.
Unfortunately, one of the directors has
lost his nerve and turned state s evil
dence.
Before this is discovered Emerson
turns up cards with his associates to
decide which must go to jail to save the
others, and asserting misdeal he claims
the card that would have fallen to his
father. 1t is only of his father that he
is thinking at this time, because the
elder Emerson knew nothing of the
transaction. And so. when he discovers
that Cowper has left a full confession
and the notes at Darwin's house. he
makes up his mind to 90 after them
there at once. Darwin has left for
Washington, and Emerson making his
way into the house by ruse, is dis
covered in the library, where he has
gone to look for Cowper's letter, by
Mrs. Darwin. Then Darwin returns
and finds the two, as he supposes, in a
position that arouses his unjust sus-
picions. In the scene which follows
Mrs. Darwin has very good opportuni-
ty to gauge the relative value of the
two men, and after Darwin has sent
Emerson to jail the scene ends with her
ringing denunciation of her husband.
