New News Of Yesterday
The Actual Truth About
Andrew Johnson
BY Holland.

In the spring of 1854. Charles A.
Dana visited Washington with a
party made up of two or three inti-
mate friends. AS he rode about taxi
ing note of the improvements which
had transformed Washington as II
had been in the days when he was
Assistant Secretary of War into one
OF the most beautiful cities Of the
world he occasionally became remi-
niscent, speaking to his friends Of
some of those with whom he had been
associated in the administration OF
President Lincoln.
II occurred to me to ask Mr.. Dana
II there was any truth in the report
that Andrew johnson was not always
prudent in the use of stimulants.
Il am certain" Mr. Dana replied.
that grave injustice was done to
Johnson. But II was partly his own
fault. He was a strange compound.
He was not always in control of good
judgment and this weakness was dis
played cOnspicuously when he de-
llvered impromptu, offhand or un-
prepared addresses. Then he was
so extravagant and vindictive and
made use Of such ill-considered eX-
pressions that he was sometimes
suspected to have been under the in
fluence Of sitmulants. But that is
not true. have talked to many of
those who were in close daily associ-
alton with him and they have without
exception tod me that he was an
abstemious man with respect to alco-
holic stimulants. being practically a

use Of some narcotic drug. but II
there were ever any evidences of this
they occurred at a time when he
was IN poor health. He was not in
good health most of the time he was
in the Presidency. His Cabinet was
at one time very apprehensive that
he would give way completely under
the strain
But what like best to think about
IN relation to Johnson are the toler-
ance, kindliness, and goodwill which
President Lincoln displayed toward
Johnson. There were a number OF
the intimate friends Of Lincoln
think his Secretary Of the Treasury,
Hugh McCullouch, was one-who
spoke with some apprehension lest
the unfortunate exhibition Johnson
made when he received the oath as
Nice-President might indicate grave
weaknesses of a kind which it would
be appalling TO contemplate in case
anything happened 10 Lincoln and
Johnson succeeded him.
Lincoln, himself. however. was full
Of charity toward Johnson. His in
variable reply to those who spoke TO
/ him with apprehension about John
sons conduct when he was in
/ augurated as Vice President was that
there need be no fear Of Andrew
Johnson. MIR. Lincoln said that he
mad none. He had known him well
for long time and he was confident
that his conduct when inaugurated as
l Nlce-President was the result of
/ accident rather than the revelation

was Lincoln's own words which re.
assured those who spoke to him oi

Go We into all the world and preach

Christ never told his disciples TO
stay at home and wait for sinners to
come to them

very one a rich tribute OF praise may
not arise to the Lord Jesus Christ?

God reiterates his promises without

FUSION UP TO DATE.
From the New York Times.

rAOA TIC view 4Olh Aluccs
II is rather remarkable that, with
all the talk about fusion with the Re
publicans which has been heard in
the Progressive camp, the only fu-
sions so far accomplished haze been
with the Democrats. In Utah there
was a complete fusion between the
Democrats and Progressives. In Wy
oming the Progressives have indorsed
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, naming Progressives for the
other offices on the State ticket. The
Wyoming Progressives hold them
selves free to 60 on assailing the
Democrats on national policies, ex-
plicitly announcing that they indorse
Mr.. Kendrick, the Democratic candi-
date, mot as a Democrat but as
the individual through whom the
greatest measure Of fulfillment of
Progressive principles IN Wyoming
can be secured"
Utah went Republican and Wyom-
ing Democratic in 1912. The de-
nunciations of the fusion by the Re
publican newspapers in Utah indicate
perturbation In neither State do
national issues seem to have been
considered at all. Meanwhile, in all
the other States where the proposi-
ton has not yet been acted upon at
all, the Progressives have refused fu-
sion with either of the old parties.
THE VOLUNTARY INVITATION.
From the New York Sun.
-Four years ago, when the Sixteenth
or income tax amendment was before
the Legislatures of the States for
ratification, the keen eyed Speaker
Of the Virginia House of Delegates
uttered this remarkable warning tc
his fellow Democrats of the South.
"The Sixteenth amendment is a vol
untary invitation to the Federal Gov
ernment TO invade and occupy the in
most citadel of what remains of the
reserved rights of the States.
THE Sixteenth amendment would
do what the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments did not do. II would put
the Federal Government in direct

EDITORIAL OPINION

A hand from Washington would be
stretched out and placed on every
mans shoulder.
THE eye of the Fedora, inspector
would be in every mans counting
house.
"Inquisition would be made into
every mans business and the employ
ment of spies and informers would be
an inevitable consequence. Admins
trative rules having the practical
force Of law would hedge men about. ="
This was the prophecy Of Richard
Evelyn Byrd, of Virginia. We recall
il now for contemplation by Southern
Democrats who helped to extend the
voluntary invitation to inquisitorial
activity which another Southern
Democrat, the Hon. William G. Nc
Adoo, seems so eager to accept.

nant when she learned that the man
had made a good getaway when he
gave the police the slip.
Presume He Left Town.
The officers exerted every effort to
find the man yesterday but their at
tempts were all in vain and it is pre-
sumed that he left town. While it
was not thought at first that there
was a good case against the man,
since he appeared to show so little
concern over his arrest, attempting to
laugh it off, and named so many
prominent citizens here in giving ref
erences, yet the fact that he made his
get away the police think is indica-
tive of his guilt in the case and they
were more anxious today than ever
to locate him.

# KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Saws Bsckache is q sign you have been
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid

When YOU wake up with backaehe and
dull misery IN the kidney region IL gen.
e-aIly means you have been eating too
much meat, SAYS a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
elsa you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
Is coated, and when the weather Is bad
you have rheumatic twinges- The urine
Is cloudy, full of sediment, channels otJen
get sore, water scalds and you are Obliged
10 seek relief two or three times during
the night
Either consult a good, reliable physi
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also TO neutralize scids in the urine so il
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent ithia-wst ter drink.

HERE'S A NEW ONE.

The reputation of the Long View
street car line is just the same. 1t
has not changed in the past year or
so and the episode of twelve months
or so back for Observation-Disclosures was
repeated again last night. There is a
question, though, as to the dement's of
the case last night being in excess of
the former one.
People in the business section of
the city waited on Second avenue last
night for nearly an hour before a car
west bound on the thoroughfare
passed.
But cars eastbound on Second ave-
nue. hummed by in rapid succession,
so often that several of the folks
waiting patiently for the conveyance
were considering breaking the rule
and riding to their destination on a
car going in the opposite direction
around the loop from that they were
accustomed to boarding.
A new crew worked the hardship.
Taking charge of the car in front of
the New Harper house the new men
in charge operated it as far as the
switch on Fifteenth street. then stop
ped, turned the trolley around and
started back over the path formerly
traversed, which while it is no great
crime, was contrary to the plan es-
tablished by the Tri-City railway
company.
People desiring to board the west
bound car waited and waited while
double headers were whizzing past
them east bound. Finally after all of
the cars met on the hill, so that the
spot looked like a sub-station of the
road, every member of all the crews
demanded an explanation. The cause
of the trouble was finally determined,
and the "bone-head crew" was set on
the right path.
All of which recalls an episode on
one rainy night some time ago, when
some lis people were on board an
east bound Long View car and as the
crew changed, before the new con-
ductor got on board the signal was
given to go ahead by one of the pass
engers.
The car made the trip without the !
man on the rear end, and the Tri- |
City railway was out some few dollars, |
while the poor ICON" frantically waved |
his arms in front of the Harper house |
invoking the wrath of the gods on the |
ompany, the line and the passenger
who pulled the cord.

The Tri-City Federation OF Labor at
meeting held last evening at the In

Linograph company of Davenport for
being unfair to organized labor. prin-
cipally the machinists' union. 1t is al
legged that the Linograph company laid
OF all of the union employees and has
shipped in 25 non-union machinists
from Chicago under guard and forced
them to sign contracts not to go on
strike or to have any dealings with
organized labor. Circulars have been
printed, to be mailed by the fedora
ton to every union body and labor
publication in the country announcing
the attitude of the Linograph company
and also the Moline Furniture COM
pany, toward organized labor.
A movement was instituted to es-
tablish closer relationship between
the various unions in the federation
by making the contracts for union men
more uniform. The federation will
ask the employers to work in conjunc-
ton with the men in carrying this
project through.

Kentucky. Those taking part in the
parade will assemble at the Danish

and picnic will be held on Suburban
island, and the committees in charge
are planning to make the celebration
the largest in the history of the tri-
cities.
The federation also adopted resolu-
tons to write Illinois and Iowa sena-
