The rest Is politics.
As American men struggled to rise
from the bottom In the more primitive
days of the country, their women Of
ten failed to keep up with them. BY
the time half of Fillmore's predeces-
sors gained the presidency. their
wives were either dead, worn out or
tagging behind.
Mrs. Fillmore. finding herself with
out strength or ambition to reign with
her husband, her place was taken by
a daughter. This girl OF eighteen,
Miss Mary Abigail. was enough OF a
new woman to have Insisted on fitting
herself by a course in n normal school
to earn an independent living. Being
obligated to teach a certain length Of
time after graduating. she Went on
teaching school even after her father
became vice president. She kept at II

Next Miss Mary died Of cholera, and
then, after a tour OF Europe, the
pathetic loneliness of a retired presi-

a wealthy widow.
Fillmore had tried to avert this re-

be nominated to succeed himself.

to break the retirement and return

NEILLARD FILLMORE. the second
wi vice president TO be promoted by
death, was the most commonplace
president even in a twenty-year period
when the presidency remained at low
water mark. Tall and with magisterial
front, but cold and hollow, he looked
the part which he p~layed-the dummy
of northern trimmers in politics and
of southern t%raflickers in slaves.
A fable of the day hit off the truth.
The new president must have a car
riage, and "Old Edward Moran, a
White House attendant In many adj
m~inistrations, took him to see a hand

Washington and would sell 1t at o

pressed IL.
The new presidents appointment OF
Jefferson Davis to he secretary of war
identified his administrator at the out
set with the aggressive faction In the
south. Under its counsels Pierce not
only surrendered to the ambitions of
the slave power for expansion over
the north and west, but also for its
expansion into foreign lands.
Slavery was In Its last throes ev-
~erywhere. Great Britain had abolished
II In her West Indian islands, Mexico
had abolished II next door to our own
slave states. Even Spain was tend
ing toward the freeing OF the slaves In
Cuba when the American ministers to
Great Britain, France and Spain met
In Belgium and issued the "0stend

proclaimed the threat that IL the Span

force.
AT the same time congress at home
was repeating the Missouri compro-
mise and wlplng out the dead line
against slavery, which had been drawn
a quarter of a century before. This
threw open Kansas to a wild scramble
between settlers who wished the new
territory to be free and those who
wished 1t to be slave.

create another slave state.
