serVide it gracefully and cheerfully.
Abraham Lincoln would have done
the same thing.
Now Mr.. Roosevelt informs us, that
the president cannot be faVorably
compared to Washington and Lin
coin because those statesmen were
not afraid of war. If 1 remember my
history there was no war of any i'm
portance during Washington's two
terms. Lincoln did not start the
Civil war; it was forced by the seces-
sion Of southern states and the firing
Fl. Sumter.
Mr.. Roosevelt accuses the presi-
dent of cowardice. The president
has had many difficult problems to
contend with, but there is no record
yet where he turned pale and spoke
with a weak voice.
Both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Hearst

see no reason why the average
citizen should be confused over the
issues in the present campaign. The
Republican party used to come to
our rescue and save us from Demo-
cratic hard times. It worked twice.
Will it work again? Lincoln said:
you can't fool all the people all the
time" A good many of us believe
right now that the Democrats never
were responsible for any hard times.
It was the development and use of
labor-saving machinery that period
ically threw large numbers of work
ers out of employment. The Repub-
Iican party has been the chief factor
in aiding the development Of the
trusts, without reserving to the gov
eminent any restraining power or
voice as to the welfare and employ
ment of the workers.

Exit Hughey Dougherty.
The famous minstrel who has made us
ail laugh for years is going to quit the
town this afternoon.
And everybody who has any Philadelphia
blood in him will be there to wish him
C,odspeed when he makes his final bow
from the train which is to take him from
our sight undoubtedly forever. He goes
10 spend his remaining days with his
daughter. Mrs Evalina Butland, of Los
i Angeles. He adopted her many years ago,
before he was in his prime as minstrel
When Hughey became desperately i'll
and was taken to st. Agnes Hospital more
than two months ago she heard of it
through the newspapers
"Come home" was the message the old
minstrel received one day. 1t was signed
simply "Evalins."
When his little adopted daughter was
christened at the Church Of the Assumption,
I1th and Spring Garden streets, Hughey
was singing the song "Evalina," so the
baby was called Evalina. And so, like bread
cast upon the waters, she will be at Los
Angeles to greet Hughey when he arrives
there on Saturday.
The aged minstrel-he is nearing ID
doesn't want any fuss about his leaving
this afternoon He heard that some one
had planned to kldnap him for fun, and 1t
worries him.
II got to get my hair cut and get my
laundry and lot of things and there won't
be any time for any skylarking stuff. I'm
q kind of afraid of that laundry fellow; he
hasn't been on time with 1t yet"
Hugheys face is rather full, despite his
illness, and that twinkle in his eye, the
twinkle which used to bring many a laugh
at the 11th Street Opera House. is still
there. He finds is somewhat difficult to
walk, but he feels that the air on the
coast will brace him. In fact the old min
strel believes that there's one more show
left in him yet
What message have you for Philadel-
phia?" he was asked

scant white hair but how is this on the
impulse7"
You're as white as lily,
And you've won a Just renown.
Until I'm through,
And let nobody run YOU down.
Hughey said he'd try to reel off a few
lines about EValina at Broad Street
Station.
He finds Il hard to remember things sud-
denly. Asked to sing 1t today as he was
looking after his effects Hughey offered
the following in fairly clear voice:
Way, down in the Green Valley
Where tho lilies they do grow
And the winds from the mountain
Forgotten)
CHORUS,
Sweet Evalina dear Eyalina,
My love for thee will never never die.
Sweet Evalina. dear Eyallna, A.
My love for thee Will never, never die.
Among those who will greet Hughey at
the station this afternoon will be Joe Fox
and William Ward, the oldest blackface
team on the stage and still at It. They
will soon celebrate their golden jubilee.
Both sat with Hughey in the famous cir
Gle at Carncross & Dixey's and Dumont's.
Then there will be Frank Dumont, Vic
Richards John Breslln. assistant treasurer
of Dumont's Minstrels, who will accompany
Hughey to Los Angeles; John j. Keirans,
Norman Jefferes, Frank Donnelly, Ed B.
Rohn, of the Bingham Hotel and numerous
managers and hotel proprietors who have
known the old minstrel for years.
Hughey will not have anything to worry
about en- route. He is scheduled to reach
Chicago at 1880 tomorrow afternoon, when
he will be met by Francis Leon. an old
minstrel. and number of actor folk and
well-known Phiadelphians who are in Chi
cago for the convention. He is scheduled
to arrive at Los Angeles OH Saturday.
Hughey was born in this city near 4th
and Gasltill streets. After doing little turns
at concerts he came to the attention of
Sam Sanford and made his professional
debut, it is said. with Sam Sanford's min
strels at the Eleventh Street Opera House.
When Carncross and Dixey succeeded the
Sanford combination Hughey remained for
many years. He left here for awhile and
toured all over the country with the leading
minstrel troupes of those times.
Later he returned to this city and was
with Frank Dumont's minstrels, which sue
ceeded Carncross and Dixey.
An insight into his character is shown
by the devotion he paid his wife. While he
was playing here she was for long time
Ill in New York. Hughey boarded a train
every night after the show and went to
comfort her. He returned every night
early in time for the performance. For
many years he made his home at the Hotel

the present policy Of keeping the re-
turns secret, while leaving the fixing
of the assessments in the hands of
revenue agents and collectors. The
profits of evasion are enormous, the
chances of detection negligible.
There are now go taxpayers who are
paying income taxes of more than
100000 each per year. Several of
these same multi-milliOnaires have,
within recent years, been detected in
attempts to eVade the customs duties
where only a few thousand dollars
were involved. They have demon
