By now every man had his bat

pulling over the singular failure of
the electrical apparatus, which is the
nervous system of the modern auto

astonishing sight met his eyes.
The old days had returned. The

The condition of affairs in the Atlas

the matter up TO the experts in the

The little group of workmen and

But every man jack of them knew
perfectly well that the electrical ap-

Why Grover Cleveland Sent
a Substitute in the
Civil War
By HOLLAND

81 had many evidences during my
close association with Grover Cleve-
land of his inherent and abiding sense
of justice, and also his willingness to
submit to some humiliation and to a
good doal of personal sacrifice rath-
er than to be instrumental in injur-
ing the feelings or the career of any
One' said George r. Parker, who
was the biographer of Grover Clevc-
land, to me at time when he was
showing me a great mass of letters
and documents which he had received
as the ex-President's literary execu-
tor
II think. however, that the incident
which most strongly impressed upon
my mind this characteristic of Cleve-
land was one which is associated
with the order which was issued for
the return Of the battlehags to the
Southern States
IL was chatting with Mr. Cleveland
one day in his library, when he said
to me that he had been strangely, al
most cruelty misjudged with respect
to what Is called the 'battlefags Incl
dent
HE was amazed, he said, at the
violence of the attacks which we're
made upon him for issuing that order
The attack which hurt him most
came from distinguished politician
of the Northwest who i'm his letter
of public protest stated that thus
order had actually been issued
through Acknowledgement Drum. of
the army
Having made this statement. Mr..
Cleveland looked at me for some mo-
ments steadily and yet moditatively,
as though he were wondering whether
II was eXpedient to make me his
confdant Still keeping his eyes fixNd
upon me he opened a drawer and
took from II letter which he asked
me to read. To my astonishment It
was a letter from Adjutant-General
Drum to Mr.. Cleveland. in which the
acknowledgement recommended that
as an act of courtesy and amity
towards the South it would be worth
while to issue an order restoring the
Southern battlehags
when / read the letter I said
to Mr. Cleveland. Why don't you, in
defense of yourself, cause this letter
to be published? II is a semi-oliicial
letter and not a confidential COM
munication'
But Mr.. Cleveland shook his head
dccisively. He said he would not
make the letter public. He had issued
the order and he would not for an
instant do anything to divide the re-
sponsibility or pass it along to some
one else.

VA 1TH the automobile industry of our country

the Democrats arc showing through Congress with
such indecent haste is surprising that twenty
seven OF the largest American motor vehicle manu-
featuring companies have united in protest against
such harmful legislation. The Underwood bill if It
become law Il stands today, will spell that
American industry and the tens Of thousands of
skilled and unskilled working men it employs
Let take the city of Detroit for instance II
has 4S450 men who are employed by automobile
manufacturers. Think what Il viii mean to those men
and their families if the tariff bars dropped the
American market filed with autos of foreign manufac-
ture! Such influx Of foreign will be followed by
depression in our home trade; reduced output poor
wages and, in too many instances, absolute idle
ness.
The 4S,450 working men referred to above are en-
ployed in one city and in industry. The Under
wood Tariff law would affect all cities and many in
dustries When the far-reaching depression and mis-
cry that would follow in the wake Of its enactment
are takon into consideration, the total capital

who have done or said something
~hich has proved to be unpopular
have passed the responsibility over
TO some one else. But Cleveland en-
dured in silence the attacks which
were made upon him, although he
could have made public the letter OF
Adiutant-General Drum.
Cleveland was especially hurt at
the intimation that he had issued this
order because he secretly had SYM
pathized with the Confederacy and
was really one of those in the North
who in war days we're called Cop
perheads. He told me that these ac-
cusations hurt him.
"He said that there we're thres
brothers in his fathers family. Two
of them went to the war. two of them
enlisted in Union regiments, and I,
was necessary for one to stay at
home to care for their mother and
sisters. He was the one chosen to
stay at home. He was drafted and
he was forced to borrow a thousand
dollars to pay for a substitute, be-
cause If he too, went those who we're
dependent upon him would have no
means of support. He told me that Il
took four or five years CT hard work

SOCIALIST TICKET AND VOTE

TN the city election in Wilmington in June, 1911,
the Socialist vote for Mayor was 40 out Of a to-
tai poll OF between $4,000 and 10000 votes Two
years previously the Socialist vote was 1853 In other
words, through active campaign and other causes
that party made a gain Of 5O7 votes in two years
An Interesting question in connection with the i'm
pending city election is whether the Socialists will
continue to gain-and from what party they will re-
cruit the bulk of their increased strength The inn
preston seems to be that It will come from the Demo-
cratic side II 80, it will serve to strengthen tho
Republican position
The Socialists have nominated fun city ticket 1t
Is headed by Frank A. Houck who ran for Mayor in
'u9 ana received the 1853 votes spoken of above The
state Of the poll in June will show whether his popu
a'ity has kent pace with the growth Of his parry
anc also whether the increase or 5O7 votes cast for
the Socialist ticket in 1911 represented growth of
sentiment or was due to special causes prevailing in
that year.
