CIVIL WAR DAY BY DAY
Fifty Years Ago.
September g. 1SAn Editorial Attack Upon the Personal Hon of
President Lincoln Was Made BY Influential New York NewsD.De
Bitterness of the Campaign Waged Behalf Georg. Nc
CIeIan,
written expressly for The Washington H.raldo

Fifty years ago today as editorial
attack upon the personal honesty OF
President Lincoln was made by the
country's most influential Democratic
newspaper OF the war period, the New
York World.
This paper was leading a strong
fight for the election of Gen. George
B. Mcclellan for the Presidency. Its
candidate was put before the country
as an able leader who. but for the in
reference Of President Lincoln. an in
competent President. might have ended
the war in command OF the armies OF
the United States. and who. II given
chance. as President could restore
the Union.
Gen McCIellan's supporters. and they
numbered many able men. attacked the
administration and its conduct OF the
war with great viGOr. and often with
bitterness. They had abundance OF
material, for the military mistakes Of
the Federals had been many. while log
rolling and political corruption at
Washington. and knavery OF every
shade in the furnishing OF supplies to
the government, had fOurished under
LinColr. In his own transparent hon
esty and his deep application to the CO.
lossal task Of conducting the war. Lin
smaller ambitions OF politicians or con-
tractors.
The more moderate of the Presidents :
critics took this view Of the matter
and made convincing arguments from
IT. Among them was Robert c. Win
throp. jr.. Of Massachusetts. one OF the
most polished and able wartime Dem
oCratic orators. who. however vigor-
Gus his attacks upon LinCOlns admin
istratio1. never stepped over the boun-
dary Of criticism into the field OF abuse.
The presence of such hiEh-minded men
as Mr.. Winthrop on the stump, in behalf
of Gen Mcclellan, was an aid to the
Democratic candidate The printing Of
such an attack as the Worlds was a
detTiment
The Title "HOnest."
There is no evidence that Gen. Nc
CIelIan approved the Worlds attack
upon Lincoln. That the attack was not
considered good politics became evi-
dent. first from a change IN its CharaC-
ter. and next from its cessation after
three days.
As an interesting example OF political
methods in the war period this attack
on Lincoln is worth recording. 1t was
in editorial form.
The first editorial appeared on Septem-
Der % under the heading. Mr.. Lincoln
Has He. or Has He Not, an Interest in
the Profits of Public ContraCts?"
1t began as follows:

and disunion have exhausted their

fact that he has escaped prosecution long is not
nearly so surprising as that he was always able to

A T-URERcUnos1s WARD.

E aA
The city eouHeil will be asked to
equip at the local detention hospital
a ward for tuberculosis patients who
are in the last stages of consumption.
Petitions for this opurpose have been
circulated and literally signed. That
there is need for such a ward, all who
are familiar with the situation. feel
certain. Many cases are in pitiable
condition, and to make some suitable
provision for them is but an act Of
humanity. In addition to this, 1t will
diminish the chance Of infection,
which is something decidedly worth
while.
tuberculosis is a preventable dis
ease. In it's earlier stages it 10 cur
able in very many cases. The reason
for its prevalence is that its true ma
ture has not been properly understood
in the past, and people were dispos-
ed to accept the disease as one Of the
mysterious dispensations of Provi-
dence, and let it go at that. 1t 10 now
known that the disease comes from
causes which MAJ be prevented, and
gradually the human race is making
Roadway in its fight against the great
white plague. The installation of the
tuberculosis ward will be a step in
the right direction.

ever, Newman Erb, the president of
several railways out in that country,
and he also says that the Iowa farm
ers are paying more for the main
tenance, operation and depreciation of
their motor cars than they are con-
tributing to the railways for both
passenger fares and freight charges.
But Mr.. Erb, unlike a good many

the existence of the railways. They
are thinking a good deal now about
the prices of rubber and gasoline. and
they have become learned about, and
willing to pay for, the advantages
they a derive from highways of
modern construction.
OF course it costs the farmer, in
Iowa or elsewhere, nothing like as
much to run an automobile as it does
the city man. For one thing, being
always more or less familiar with the
handling of machinery, he not only
easily learns how to operate his own
car, but he is able to make himself
all the minor repairs which are such
a drain on the urban automobilist.
