How the ineXcusable negligence of
John Parker. LincOln's guard gave
Booth an opportunity to enter the
Presidents box at the time of his as
sassinatiOn was related for the first
time by William H. Crook, Lincoln s
personal bodyguard, in the issue of
Harper's Magazine for September
1907. RecOunting the circumstances,
Mr.. Cook says:
Il have often wondered why the
negligence of the guard who accom-
panied the President to the theatre
on the night of the 14th has never
been divulged. So far as | know it
was never even investigated by the
police department. Yet. had he done
his duty, | believe President Lincoln
might not have been murdered by
Booth. The man was John Parker.
He was a native of the District of
Columbia and had volunteered, as |
believe each of the other guards had
done, in response to the President s
first call for troops from the Dis
trict. He IS dead now and, as far as
have been able to discover. all of
his family.
1T was the custom for the guard
which accompanied the President to
the theatre to remain in the little
passageway through which Booth
entered. Mr.. buckingham, who was
the doOrkeeper at FOrd's Theater, re-
members that chair was placed
there for the guard on the evening of
the 14th. Whether Parker occupied
it at all do not know - Mr.. Buck
ingham is of the impression that he
did. If he did, he left it almost i'm
mediately; for he confessed to me the
next day that he went to a seat at the
front of the first gallery so that he
could see the play. The door of the
Presidents box was shut; probably
Mr.. Lincoln never knew that the

THE MINIMUM WAGE.

The last few months will soon be.
come known as period of Legislative
reform. 1t was not so long ago that
Missouri passed law providing foI
widows and all their children under
IA, and Illinois Immediately proceed
ed to enact a similar law. But now
comes the most astonishing bit of re-
cent legislation proposed in Massa.
chusetts.
The commonwealth investigated
1885 women wage workers of four
occupations, and found vast num-
Der of them earning less than s. a
week. But it costs them more than
that to live, and the rest must be
made up in some way.
Golfers says that the purpose of
this legislation is to check the clearly
ascertained tendency of wages to be-
come much less than the actual earn
ings. 1t is well that men are begin
ming to see that tendency. AS mat
ter of truth, that tendency has been a
fact in more industries than one. All
that is to be hoped now is is that the
minimum wage will not act as a
teaser to starvation.
1t may happen that the committee
of not-underfed-senato who are to
determine this minimum wage may
be able to bring out some startling
figures on how cheap a widow or an
unmarried young woman can live, but
if they do. Massachusetts will deal
itself a black eye which no amount
of raw beef will heal. Golfers says
that that act is part of progress
toward real civilization. Yes, it is
true. After boasting of two thous-
toward real civilization. Yes, it is
ming to realize that there is real one
that we do not yet possess.
University professors and business
men all over Massachusetts indOrse
the new bill. The business men say
that low wages may nave been the
cause for industrial incompetency,
and that employers with better wages
to offer will get better men. How
queer that they did not try that be-
fore the bill was passed. And how
surprising that they did not know
that a better fed horse is capable of
pulling a bigger load than hungry
one.

A WOMAN'S WAY.

clos Angeles Times
They said he did a wrong
Love soothed her fears;
And when she knew the worst,
Love dried her tears.
They said he would not come
Her wait was vain;
And when she knew twas so,
Love healed her pain.
She wandered forth alone,
In twilight gray:
Yet she was not alone
Love led the way.
At night she prayed for him
A wonlan's prayer;
An incense sweet arose,
And Love was there.
