LINCOLN AND THE SOUTH.
Views Of the Great Emarcipator on
Constitutional State Riohts

| VIS~S OF the 0reat cmaEciPasor on
Constitutional State Rights.
In a speech delivered by Abraham
Lincoln in Peoria. H.. in 1854. he made
| some striking remarks concerning the
domination of the south in congress
| in part as follows:
by the constitution each state has
two senators; each has number OF
presidential electors equal to the whole
| number of its representatives and SEN
atOrs together. But in ascertaining
the number Of people for the purpose
FIVE slaves are counted as being equal
to three whites. The slaves do not
| vote. They are only counted and so
used as to swell the influence of the
white peoples votes.''
Mr.. Lincoln, in illustration of the ef-
fects of counting slaves who did not
vote. compared Maine and South Caro-
lima. Each of these states had six rep
resentatives in congress and eight pres
idential electors, but Maine had $751;
S13 white people and South Carolina
had 2Ti.561. Maine has twice as
many as South Carolina and 32G79
over. Thus each man in South Carolina
Maine. This is all because South Caro-
lima, besides her free people. has 3S1.-
9S4 slaves"
A similar state OF affairs. Mr.. Lin
coin stated, existed in the other slave
states and by this counting of the
slaves the south had twenty addition
nj representatives. being seven more
than the whole majority by which they
passed the Nebraska bill" Mr.. Lin
coin said that this inequality was
caused by the constitution, which he
did not propose to disregard. but he
was unwilling to have any more new
partners with the same degrading
terms. He said, Il insist that wheth
er shall be a whole man or only the
half OF one in comparison with others
is a question in which l am somew hat
concerned and one which no other
ma1lean have Il sacred right of dccid.
Ing for me-"
In 1914. fifty years after emancipa-
ton, We find even a greater disparity
as to the Representatives from the same
southern states. In the old days it
took FIVE slaves to count for three votes

swell the number of white representa-
lives and white presidential electors.

Cubs Win With Roger Bresnahan-

With Bresnahan behind the bat the
Cubs finally won game, downing
the Brooklyn Dodgers easily in the
first battle of the stand against the
east on the West Side lot.
And this same Bresnahan, booed
last year, makes the Cubs about 80
per cent stronger when he is in the
game. And that isn't construed as
a criticism of Jimmy Archer.
Jimmy is still a cracking good
catcher, willy and an accurate and
courageous thrower. He is still
deadly at picking men off base.
But Jim lacks the contagious fight

VETERAN OF 70 YEARS
IN FIGHT WITH eANDlTo

st. Louis, Dec. 29.--One bandit was
killed and another shot and seriously
wounded by Leonard G. Humphrey, .
7S-year-old veteran of the Union A.
my at his notion store here late today.
Two men, one tall and the oth0
small, entered the store at o'clock
this afternoon and asked permission
to warm themselves. After examining
the store carefully. they departed
About O'Clock they returned and
again hunddled about the stove .
while Humphrey became suspicious
and took up his revolver.
Just then the men attacked him,
one with hatchet picked up from the
coal pile, while the other tried to
choke the old man. Humphrey, how
ever, shook them off and fired. Both
men ran from the store. A few feet
from the door the tall one fell dead.
The smaller man ran two blocks and
stumbled into physicians office.
where the police found him.
When the bandits had been routed,
Humphrey first realized that his scalp
and the left side of his face had been
cut open by the sharp edge Of the hat
chet. The wound extended the full
length of the face, but physicians
said the injury would not prove seri-
Gus.
The bandit who was killed was Lou
Greeley, 27 years old. The other man
said he was Oliver ]. Smith, %, and
a stenographer. He denied being i'm
plicated in the attempted holdup and
said he was shot near Humphreys
store in a quarrel "over a girl" Hum
phrey, however, identified him posi-
lively. Smith is being held a prisoner
at the city hospital.

PIPE LINE RUNS.
Telegram from Col. Greer Says Runs

made that the sale to the Pierce

will not be renewed

purchased in the Cushing field, and

duCers here are somewhat nervous
over the situation. The runs re-

wired Col, George c. Greer today
and asked what the pipe line runs
after Friday would be The reply,
dated Dallas, Texas, says: "Tele-
cram received The quantity of oil
which the pipe line can run in Jan
uary will very largely depend on the
naming of price that will enable

We see very little prospect of han
ding proiitably any considerable
quantity at the present price. me
question has been submitted to the

company AN opportunity to enlarge
its takings. and the matter Is still
under discussion. Under these cir

The telegram evidently means that
the sales will be very light, unless
the price is reduced. and just what
the pipe line wants in the way of
price. the producers here do not
seem to know.

The auctiOneer stood on the street
corner with q great crowd about him.
The auctioneer puts more nerve force
into his work than Q man In any

cited when good looking horse was
placed on the block. The animal
pricked up its ears and looked like 1t
had come from q racing stable, as II
1t had entered into the conspiracy.
The bid was $3.50 and the auctioneer
was excited He loudly called for q
half dollar raise. Il. w. Coe OF the
Gypsy Company. and Charley God
dard of the Humble Company were
passing rapidly down the street to-
meet an incoming train. Thoughtless-
ly Coe cried the fifty cent raise and
before he had gone a half block the
"One two three, and Sold for SIS"
was heard up the street "lve bought
horse" said Coe, land must of ne
cessity go and care for him" The
price was paid. the new purchase was
surveyed, the animal looked fine, an
examination of the eyes revealed the
fact that he was stone blind. MIR Coe
had recently made a bargain down at
Denison and so pleased was he with
with victory and thought a mistake
could not be made. He led the ami
NAL away, and the usual bunch came
to trade. One offer was two bits and
barlow knife. The offer was made
by Max Westheimcr, and was prompt
ly declined. The next offer was a
mule with two perfectly good eyes,
but old and little and poor and spav-
