TIME stone walls Of the White
i House no more shut Lincoln in
from his fellows, from their hopes
and SORROWS and pride, than did the
unhewn logs behind which he shivered
in the cabin home of his youth. One
night he dreamed that he was in q
crowd, when some one recognized him
as the president and exclaimed In
surprise: "He is very common look
ing man." Whereupon he answered:
Friend, the Lord prefers common
looking people. That Is the reason he
makes so many of them"
Lincoln liked people, and he always
kept in touch with the mass. He did
not have to take the word of pOliti-
clans or newspapers about what the
country was thinking. He went to
the source.
AS he finished his daily wrestle with
senators and the big-wigs, he plunged
with zest into what he called his pub
lie opinion bath" Seated in his chair,
with one leg thrown over its arm, he
received the motley crowd that poured
in through the wide open door of his
office. Those who approached him in
awe found themselves at ease in the
presence of a friend, whose manner
said to every one what he said in a
speech to regiment: II happen tenn
porarily to occupy this big White
House. I am living witness that

any one of your children may look to
come here as my fathers child has"
The man fairly exhaled democracy,
fraternity, equality. Frederick Doug
las said that Lincoln vas the only
white man he ever met who did not
show consciously or unconsciously that
he recognized his color.
Sympathy flowed in constant
stream from its fountain in this great
heart. A mothers tears, baby's cry,
a fathers plea, a crutch or an empty
sleeve never failed to move Lincoln.
IF he has no friend, I'll be his friend"
ne said as he stopped the shooting of
soldier, under sentence of court
martial.
my poor girl" he said to woman
who pleaded for the life Of her soldier
brother, you have come here with no
governor or senator or member Of
congress to speak in your cause; you
seem honest and truthful and you
don't wear hoops, and I'll be whipped
if I don't pardon him."
Lincoln's office was almost his prison
cell through four terrible years. The
shouts Of his two little boys at play
always were welcome notes of joy to
their care-weighted father. He never
objected to their noisily bursting in
upon him, and often he Joined the
children in their boisterous games in
the White House grounds.
In the dark days when the naiion
itself was at deaths door, one Of the
boys died. For weeks the grieving
father strove in vain to win spirit of
resignation, dropping his work for a
day at time and surrendering to his
sorrow. Doubtless the fortitude he
gained at last in that wrestle with
himself became part Of the heroic faith
which lifted him above the general
despair when the fortunes Of the
Union sank lowest.
After Willie's death, the other boy
received double share Of paternal af-
lection. Tad was in the habit Of going
to his father in the evening and maxi
ing a report of all that had happened
since morning, usually falling asleep
In the midst Of his prattle. Laying
the little fellow on the floor by the
| side of his desk, Lincoln returned to
his heavy casks until his own long day
was do5e, when he took his sleeping
boy on his shoulder and carried him
or to bed.

PROOF OF CHARGES
Declares Hays Does Not Really
Deny Republicans Have
SIS, 100000 Fund.

By Associated Press TO Every Evening
Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 23.-Governor Cox
today was preparing his next move IN
attacking Republican campaign financing.
His speeches this week are expected to add
fuel to the controversy opened wide by
his charges that minimum Republican
fund of 5000, 900 is being amassed.
He is to speak next Wednesday after
noon at Princeton, Ind, in the evening
at Evansville, Ind, Thursday night, at
Pit,sburg; Friday pight at New Haven,
Conn. and Saturday at New York lie

charges. In Ohio alone, he has stated
that $500, 900 was raised quickly by the
Republicans, and in another instance
100000 was subscribed without difficulty.
DAYTON. Ohio. Aug. 23.-Promise was
made last night by Governor Cox to give
o. Will A. Hays. chairman of the Republi-
can Nstional Committee, proof OF his
charges that n fund of not less than S15,-
ONO, 900 was being raised by the Republ.-
can party, and that most of it was being
contributed IN one way or another by
financial and industrial interests which
were interested In gaining what ne terms
an ''underhold on the government.
Governor Cox made known his deter
mination after reading in the newspapers
the speech by Mr.. Hays. in Augusta, Me-,
IN which the chairman made what Cover
nor Cox considered an unsatisfactory and
half-hcarted denial of the charges. The
governor indicated that he was ready 20
go the limit In backing up the state
mcnts he made first at South Bend and
later at Canton.
Il was much gratified that Mr. Hays
made a response. said Governor Cox
last night ''As / read bis statement,
however. il was no denial. He says the
preliminary estimate made by the Re
publican party was S3,000,000. Now, |
want Mr. Havs TO tell us into how many
subdivisions the country was split up by
his party, what territory each subdivision
covered. and the quota imposed on each
subdivision, state and district
MIR. HAYS has talked much about
quotas, so now let have them. The pub
lie Is entitled TO the information and, as
the subcommittee OF the Senate investigat
inc campaign expenditures Is going TO IN
sist upon having L, why not have it now
Governor Cox made il evident that he
was prepared to have the matter out
with Mr. HAYS and the other Republican
leaders who have gathered about Senator
Harding. He will makes formal reply
to Mr.. HAYS In Ali address soon, and Will
develop hls charges.

and that the right to vote will not be
taken away by such proceedings.
Recently injunction proceedings were
instituted IN the District Of Columbia by
Anti-Suffragests, who based their con-
tention on the claim that Tennessee could
not ratify constitutionally and that ques-
tionablc methods were used in West
Virginia in securing ratification The
Sufragists won, the District Court de-
clining to issue an injunction. The an
tis appealed to the District Court OF
Appeals, and that case will come up in
October.
Prospects Of long legal proceedings
that may tie up Suffrage. until after
the election are viewed rather gloomlly
by Suffrage workers, By keeping the
matter in the courts the antis will have
achieved their purpose by keeping many
women out of the election.

the same business qualifications that Mr..
Buckson has displayed in his private
business enterprises are urgently needed
in these times, so that the financial activi-
ties of the Levy Court in this section may
be wisely administered.
MIR Buckson not only conducts a gen.
eraI store at St Georges but is the owner
OF several farms all Of which he manages

A loyal Democrat of long standing and
a man who has always taken deep inter-
est in the affairs Of his community, his
friends say he is the man who should
receive the nomination for Levy Court
Commissioner.
