WASHINGTON, d. C.-With "bleeding
Kansas" as the issue, the Republican
party made its first appearance in the
arena of national politics In 1856. with
Col, John G. Fremont as it's candidate.
IL Franklin Pierce and his followers
had been content to rest upon the COM
promise of 1850 as the final settlement OF
the slavery question in politics, the In
evitable clash Of the Civil War might
have been postponed for long time. But
the Democrats had won such a great
victory adm the opposition was so utter
~ demoralized that the Pierce admins
tration imagined It could do anything
with impHnity. Induiging in that mis-
taken belief. Pierce brought about the
repeal OF the Missouri compromise. Then
with the doctrine that slavery must be
permitted in territories, the believers in
the peculiar institution" sought to ex-
tend 1t TO the territories of Kansas and
Nebraska. Both ~ these territories were
north of the thirty six thirty" line oil

To the wavering Wings old Greeley
talked straight as man to man ana

Fillmore ticket was being financed and
run by Democrats to divide the Northern
vote, that its only possible effect would
be to defeat Fremont and elect Buchanan
and that FilImore's hope Of having the
election "thrown into the House" was a
delusion and O snare. He attacked
Know Nottingham with such bitterness
that he not. only weakened its strength

Douglas and Lewis Cass. John c. Breck-
inridge of Kentucky was nominated for
Vice President.
The Wing party was broken up, but
It's remnants went into the Nativist move
ment and worked with the new "Ameri-
can" or Know nothing" party. The
Know nothings nominated Willard Fill
more for President and Andrew Jackson
Donelson of Tennessee for Vice Presi-

OF holding national conyer ton and
Endorsed the Fillmore ticket Thus ended
the tale OF the Wings, created into a

the first to sign the famous Ostend mani

Buchanan had looked with favor upon

William Walker, "the gray-eyed man OF

Hated Class Rule
The former Presiden, always en-
phas'acs his adherence of anv form
Ct class rule. Both in and ont Of
oi'ce he never ceases TO Genounce and
oppose with equal vieor the autocracv
OF capital and the autocracy OF labor.
20 insist that every American must be
citizen before he is a member of an
economic o.ass. He envisages The gov
ernment as an impartial judge and me-
olAtor. not a. an Instrument for the
domination of orc class over another.
Equal and exact justice for rich and
poor alike IS an ideal which he stresses
over and over again. He was often crit
'cized for the bringing of the Northern
Securities suit and for other actions
dis.asteful to the financial community.
But sensible rich men viii certainly
indorse the sentiment which Roosevelt
pithily expressed in the following SEN
tencc:
1T is above all to the interests Of
the men Of great wealth that the reo-
pie a. large should understand that
they also have to obey the law"
Roosevelt was eminentiy practical
idealis.. He was always careful to es-
innate the expodiency, as well as the
desirability Of the reforms which he
attempted to bring about He had
slight respect for the professional
"rcformers" and "uplifters" whose un-
willingness 20 make necessary COM
promises and lack Of ordinary political
common sense made them pitifully
weak opponents Of the regular party
machines at the polls. John Hay, then
Secretary Of State, pronounced 8
shrewd and penetrating judgment when
he wro.e TO Roosevelt after ms election
as Governor Of New York:
'fYou have already shown that man
may be absolutely honest and yet
practical a reformer by instinct and
a wise politician; brave, bold end un-
mpromisiug, and yet not a wild ass
of the desert"
Temperamentally averse to extremes,
Roosevelt is equally ready to condemn
revolution and reaction. His viewpoint
on this cuestion is expressed with his
wonted viEor in letter explaining his
refusal to receive the Russian author
and revolutionist, Maxim Gorky, at the
White House;
