Issue
In
1860.

TINE election Of 1860 found
the country on the verge
Of civil war. The abOli-
tionists were members Of the
Republican party, and in the
convention Lincoln defeated Will
liam II. Seward Of New York.
Lincoln was not an abOlitiOnist
in the strict sense Of the word.
He later wanted the government
to buy all the slaves. The Doug
las Democrats" nominated Ste
phen A. Douglas of Illinois, who
likewise was In favor Of pro-
hibiting the further extension Of
slavery. j. c. Breckenridge Of
Kentucky was the candidate Of
the other branch of the Demo-
cratic party, while John Bell Of
Tennessee was the candidate on
the Union ticket.
Lincoln defeated George b.

In This Case It Turned to WOrmy
 Gardens and Shortcake.

He was standing in the garden. ar rayed in the glory of the first white flannel suit of the season. The sum- light slantet Sgoldenly through the very young $aves, the crocuses were bringing up through the very young grass. It was gay. happy world, full of songs and laughter and mirth--- tinted in blue and gold and green. The boy looked down at his immacu- late white trousers complacently.
 "In the spring." he quoted, "a young mans fancy lightly turns"
 .'Huh!" murmured the girl, quite rudely interrupting him. She was kneeling in front of avery new flower bed, dressed in the picturesque but rather dusty comfort of a green linen garden smock. She held a trowel firmly in a determined but grimy lit tie hand. All at once she turned her head, and. blinking in the sunlight, looked up into the boys face. "If you say that bromide again, you shall go home. Every spring since was born, think, I've heard some one say that.'
 The girl fell to digging spitefully in the brown soil of the very new flower

THE wos1ANs COMPLAINT

The modern complaint of woman is that care of the house has divorced her from growing interests. from lit- erature and, what is more important, from the newspaper, partly from mu- sic, entirely from politics. It is a purely material question; there are only 24 hours in every day, and there are some things one cannot hustle. One can no more hustle the Eng fish joint than the decrees of the Su- preme Court. Moreover and this is a collateral fact. an emptiness has form ed around woman; while on the one side she was being tempted by the professions that opened to her, by the interests ready to her hand. The old demands of less organized homes were falling away from her. Once upon a time she was a slave; now she is a half timer and the taste of liberty that has come to her has made her more intolerant of the old Jaws than she, was in the ancient days of her serfdom. Not much more than 70 years ago it was still the custom in lower middle-class homes for the wo- man to sew and bake and brew Those occupations were relinquished for the distribution of labor made it possible to have them better done at a lower cost.

 "Oh-h" screamed the girl sudden ly, as her trowel struck fat, wriggly worm. "Oh-h" she screamed again as she dropped the trowel and retreat ed toward the house.

 Diplomacy won, and the girl still shuddering at the memory of the worm. suffered herself to be led to the porch.
 The boy reached blindly for the girls hand.

Also the stores sell everything they facilitate purchases; the housekeeper need not go to ten shops, for at a single one she can buy cheese, bicycles. and ele- plants. That is only an indication of the movement; the time will come, probably within our lifetime, when the great stores of the towns will have crushed the small traders and turned them into branch managers; when all the prices will be alike, all the goods alike; when food will be so graded that 1t will no longer be worth the housekeeper's while to trp and dis cover a particularly good sirloin-in- stead she will telephone for. seven pounds of quality AT.

AN ABLE STATE PAPER.

(From the New York Times.)
 The Mexican note is direct, compre- hensive and forcible. It explains the attitude of the American Government toward the defacto Government of Mexico in a lucid and convincing way. Its tone is stern but dignified, and the rebuke it administers to Carranza for the insolent insinuations of an ulterior motive in the retention of our troops on Mexican soil was necessary and is justified.
 The note leaves nothing unsaid. It answers Carranza completely, and states our position in regard to Mex ico in unmistakable terms. We do not want war, we are still hopeful that war may be avoided. but our national rights must be maintained. It is for Carranza to say whether or not his hopes and his ambition shall be realized. If he desires peace, so that he may continue his efforts to form a government he can act as pru- dence and reason would compel any honest man to act in his position. If he provokes war with country that
