Schuyler Colfax once told Chauncey
interview between President Lincoln
and representatives Of the great finan-
cial interests OF New York City after
the Merrimac was supposed to have
escaped from Hampton Roads and to
be on her way north.
One man said he was worth $10,-
000,00 another was spokesman for
$50, 100000, and so on, and all OF them
vehemently explained to the presi-
dent that they paid their taxes, SUD-
scribed to the governments loan and
had a right to be protected.
After listening patiently to the dele
cation, Mr.. Lincoln said: Well,
gentlemen, the government has no
vessel as yet, that I know OF, that can
sink the Merrimac, and our resources
both of men and of money are strained
to the utmost. But II had as mucf
money as you say You have got ane
was as 'skeered as YOU seem to be. l
would find means TO prevent the Mer'
rmac's ever reaching my property"
Some of the Historically frightened
advocates of super preparedness could
read this little Lincoln story with
personal and public profit.-New YORK

BATTING THE FEDERAL BOARD
ISioux City Journal -
There may be something radically
wrong with the federal bureau Of an
imal industry, but the public will never
be convinced of 1t by the complaints Of
such witnesses as Mrs. Scott Durand
and Wilbur Marsh. When the hoof
and mouth infection was traced to her
valuable cattle Mrs Durand exhausted
all her legal rights in the courts. but
the herd was finally killed after long
period of impoundInent Mr.. Marsh's
collection of ribbon winners was IN
Chicago when the quarantine hit that
city and was involved IN segregation
process that doubtless proved very ex-
pensive to the owner. 1t is going to
be difficult for these owners OF
herds to secure adequate
reimbursement for their losses. They
think of them every time they hear
of the federal bureau. and their resent
ment Is reflected In what they say.
The public is interested in whether
the federal bureau did its work every

favor. Ifft acted elsewhere as eff
