Goes Home With Her Boy.
"The old woman opened her purse
and showed that she just had enough
money to take her to Washington and
back home.
Never mind, mother, said Lincoln,
putting his arm about her shoulder,
you wait here until my secretary is
through work, and he'll find nice
place for you to live. And wen soon
get that boy of yours back in good
shape.
And the secretary hurried out and
got room for the old woman Tele.
graphic reports came every day there

last the two were sent home. And
Lincoln paid all the expense.
Gould any one help loving a man

very well when we heard of the as
sassination. 1t was just after we had
seized Charleston and the town was
half full of rebel soldiers and officers
on parole. The news was read to the
crew. The men went into veritable
rage Petty officers came up and
asked that they be allowed to go to
shore. They wanted to look up some
Of the rebels and start little private
war. The officers realized this and
kept them on board.
That same feeling was all through
the army and navy.
I'VE ought to have a man like Lin
coin to handle the present political
situation" concluded Mr. Wait. HE
would stop lot of this political non
sense. Lincoln as president for life,
with autocratic sway, would mean the
best form of government"

Mr. MacVeagh is not among those
who believe Colonel Roosevelt will be
persuaded to get in the race for tho
republican nomination at the Chicago
convention He does not think the
anything to beat Taft" sentiment will
have weight with Colonel Roosevelt,
whom he asserted he admires greatly.
The sentiment expressed by Mr..
MacVesgh is to be a feature of the
campaign efforts of the Taft Club Of
Illinois, which has established head.
quarters and publicity bureau on the
second floor of the Hotel LaSalle. A
session of the full executive commit
tee membership was held this after
noon to plan details of the publicity
work.
Dewey Replies to Forgan.
Chauncey Dewey, chairman of the
Illinois Roosevelt committee, wrote a
long letter in reply to the brief one
of David r. Forgan, president of the
Taft club, in which the latter said
the Taft men would consider a pref.
erential primary when Colonel Roose-
welt became a candidate.
Mr.. Dewey sees no reason why there
should not be a preferential primary
to see whether the people really want
Colonel Roosevelt for their candidate.
This paragraph expresses the senti-
ment of the Dewey letter
Regardless of whether or not any
particular man is a candidate for
nomination eS president, it would
seem to me good politics and sound
public policy to give the republican
electors an opportunity to express
Themselves as to whom they wish to
become a candidate"

dent Taft stands for the Roosevelt
policies"
Franklin MacVeagh, secretary of the
United States treasury department, as
an admirer of Theodore Roos evelt, to-
day told some personal politica! his
tory in Contending that President Taft
as well as Colonel Roosevelt is a pro-
gressive. Before he left for Wash

treasury gave a strong indorse-
the treasury gave strong indorse-
ment of the Taft administration as
one that has followed to the letter the
Roosevelt policies Mr.. MacVeagh
says he sees no chance for argument
relative to the progressiveness of both
Taft and Roosevelt.
Says Their Policies Are Alike.
Taft stands for the Roosevelt poll
cies," said Mr. MacVeagh. He stands
for each one exactly as President
Roosevelt stood. He, with President
Roosevelt, established the policies in
the party platform of 1908. He cham
pioned them in the campaign and he
has carried them forward ever since,
establishing them by legislation and
enlsrging them in scope
81 know what he thought just as
know well what he has done When
he spoke to me of coming into his
cabinet he said the thing which most
drew his attention to me was my faith
in the Roosevelt policies. And ] was
taken into the cabinet on that ground
Every man in the cabinet knows
that the president from first to last
has stood not only before the public
but in private by every one of these
| policies-and has maintained every
one of them as his own; and has turn
ed neither to the right nor to the left
And it would be impossible for any
man to pick out one of these policies
or beliefs and show that President
Taft has not been as faithful to it as
President Roosevelt was"
Refers to McKinley's Record.
The secretary of the treasury re
ferred to the achievements of the late
President Mckinley to illustrate the
point that it is only recently that men
have come to call themselves progros-
sive when in fact progression. he in
sists, is the spirit of the age.
Our progressive period is only a
link in a chain of progressive govern

progressive work did not stop to call

WILSON CHEERED
ON HIS DEBUT IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, February 12.-Woodrow
Wilson, governor of New Jersey, smiled
his way through his political debut in
Chicago today when he brought his
Presidential nomination boom to the
Democracy of Illinois. This was the
first visit of the former head of
Princeton University to Chicago upon
plotical mission. He liked it and
left the impression that he feels as
much at home in the political field rs
in any other endeavor of life. The
first Chicagoan he greeted was re-
porter for The Daily News, who
boarded his train on the Pennsylvania
at Englewood and accompanied him

Guest of the Iroquois Club.
Governor Wilson was the guest later
of the IroQuois Club, the Democratic
organization that has set out to enter
tain upon different occasions the vari-
Gus entrants in the Democratic Presi-
dental nomination contest. He de-
livered an address at luncheon in the
Hotel LaSalle at noon. Covers were
spread for more than 600 guests On
the nineteenth floor.

Governor Wilson's admirers gave
him hearty greeting when he stood up
to speak. The guests stood waving

Letter Home

In this article l would like to pref
ace M remarks with an extract from
the writings of the eloquent and i'm.
mortal Twain. 1t seems at this writ
ing that we had not annexed the
United States to us yet, as he calls it
an alien land. He says as follows:
mo alien land in all the world has
any deep, strong charm for me but
that one. No other land could SO
longingly and beseechingly haunt me,
sleeping and waking as that one has
done, through half a lifeume Other
things leave me, but it abides; other
things change, but it remains the
same For me its balmy airs are al
ways blowing, it's summer seas flash
ing in the sun. l can feel the spirit
of its woodland solitudes; | can hear
the plash of its brooks; in my nos
trils still lives the breath Of flowers
that persisted twenty years ago"
These beautiful sentiments no per
son reading them who has ever been
in this delightful climate, man, woman
or child, will ever forget. tbs said
that distance lends enchantment to
| the view, but in this instance the
nearer the view the greater the en-
chantment. The purple, starlit sky at
night, the aroma of sweet scented
flowers and fruits, and that all the
years are very grand, to say the
least, to a northern person.
In my first article failed to men

ment, which consists of as well drilled
and efficient companies as any in the

ton is grand. People are taken from
