WOhD uOOD HtD oOlFD MT. Daugherty is regarded in Wash ington as one accredited representative of Mr. Harding and his word is &C., cepted as bond.
 Senator Harding is desirous of being able to make confidential use of Mir. Daugherty throughout his adminstra- ton. At the same time he does not want to create a situation which might readily be compared to the one time intimacy between President Wilson and his manof-all- work, Col. E. M. House. Senator Harding can best make use of MT. Daugherty's advice and persona. services if the latter is an official of his administration. MT. Daugherty does not want any other office than that of Attorney General.
 Hence it Is figured here to be ascer- tain as anything can be certain in the present situation that Mir. Daugherty is to be Attorney General All of MT. Daugherty's close friends speak of the
 matter as if it were for his determina- ron alone. They take it for granted MT. Daugherty can have anything he
 wants al the hands of Senator Hard- ing, and most everyone agrees this is so.
 BETTER IN CABINET As Attorney General, Mir Daugherty
 would have the official privilege of con atant consultation with his chief Pres ident Harding. He would have the iru3f of the White House If however. Mir. Daugherty should continue in his pres- cnt confidential but entirely unofricial relationship with MT. Harding as Pres ident and should be called into concuI- tation before important decisions were made on any subject, politicians gen erally feel this course would arouse jealousies in the cabinet circle. There IS reason to believe this jealousy might
 easily extend to the Senate and in the
 end undoubtedly would seriously preju-
 dice the good work MT. Daugherty ad-
 mittedly is capable of doing
 For the past 10 months or longer
 MT. Daugherty has devoted his entire
 time to the interests of Senator Hard-
 Ing. He fought for his nomination at
 Chicago while others, including the
 senator himself, thought the cause was
 lost
 In his services to the candidate and
 to the party, MT. Daugherty undoubted-
 ly has first claim upon the new ad-
 ministration. Mr. Daugherty Is a close
 personal friend of Edward B. Mclean,
 chairman of the inaugural festivities
 at Washington, and is in frequent con-
 sultation with him as to the character
 and scope of the civic ceremonies. It
 is said out. here that in disposng of the vast amount of presidential patron sge Senator Harding would like to
 lean on the judgment of MT. Daugh-
 erty Taken from almost any angle, Mir. Daugherty seems to be indispensa- ple to the incoming administration
 and his best services can be rendered to it only if he has an official ca pacity
 What are you going to do after March 4?55 the writer asked Mr. Daugherty recently.
 As Attorney Generalop Now, there you go asking too many questions again."

IMMIGRATION A CRIME


 Tt is a high crime" Mr. Morrison continued, flor any man in the face of these figures to advDcate the bringing of millions Of men. from Europe and add them to the number of unemployed already here. The flood is ready to come. Official figures of the labor de- Tartment show that 101 ,000 came in October and 103,000 in November. Eliminating those who returned to Europe these figures would mean a net immigration of 7S4.000 year"
 MT. Morrison declared the American workman was entitled to Sustaining employment" and that he could not get this as long as the doors were open to the Europeans. He contended that the American labor supply in Florida, where cigar manufacturers have asked to be permitted to bring in Cuban la bor, was equivalent to the needs of the cigar factories. Statements to the contrary he said, were "libelous and absolutely false" Similar conditions prevail in the states bordering on Mexico, the witness testified, and la Dor from that country should be ex- cluded as menace to American la borers in. those states"
 Secretary Morrison was preceded on the stand by a delegation of business men representing construction indus tries and manufacturers throughout the country. John Wiggins of Pennsyl- Vania, leader of the delegation, op- posed the Johnson bill and declared arguments that a flood of Europeans was imminent were absolutely fal- lacious." He asked for modification or elimination of literarcy tests and con- tract restriction laws
 Tt is our belief" MT. Wiggins said, that under the Sterling hill there will be more intelligent and better en- forcement of immigration laws than other legislation presented"

Tt means that articles into which the vegetable oils go will cost the Ameri- can consumer more and it means also that there will be shortage in some of those articles because this country does not produce the necessary sup plies
 Those people from whom we have
 been buying in the far west are going
 to regard it as direct thrust at them.
 They will say that we Americans, who
 have been cultivating their trade and 1 their friendship. are insincere."
 The testimony of H. M. Smith of New
 York and Dr. M. II. Ittner of Phila- delpha, supported Mir. Browns conten- ition as to what would result from the
 tarin. Mir. Smith told the committee , ne believed 1t wrong for Congress to handicap a new industry and asserted that the use of the imported oils and
 their development by American manu- Iacturers should be encouraged before
 europe again could gain control of the business in the far east from which the cheapest and best of supplies come. asked as to the nature of the pre- oicted retaliation, Mir Smith said thar Americans were now sending vast quantities of steel and construction materials to the Orient at a time when canada and much of Europe is enter Ing actively the field of selling. Ca madam prices, the wf,ness said were not Tar different from those in the united States and he added those peo- pIe can just as well place their or ueIs Tn the British Columbia as This, he added. is only an indication or now the retaliation may start. ex- Fiainins there were many other com nouitles which later could be included # trade war were begun.

PUT GRANT AT DISADVANTAGE
Llneoln's Little Story Probably Moro
Effective Than Any Long Areu-
ment Could Have Been.

One Of the latest stories of Lin
coin is given here:
The President was visiting Grant
In his Virginia camp, and the general
was complaining of the interference
of the Washington bureaucrats. 1.-THE
only use l have for the War depart
ment," he said finally, "is to furnish
me soldiers and supplies. But the
department mustn't interfere with me.
l am doing the country's work, and
mustn't be hampered."
"That reminds me-" said the Pr5sl-
dent, meditatively, that reminds me
of a man knew out in Sangamon
county, Illinois. He was a deacon,
and had the long-winded exhortation
habit. In fact, he had 1t so bad that
people began to stay away from meet
ing. One day the preacher met him.
Say, deacon he said. 4 don't want
to curtall your religious fervor, but
you must shorten up your exhorta-
lions. You're killing off the member
ship of the church. Cant help It,
said the deacon, Pm doing the Lords
work, and l mustn't be hampered. 4"
Grant laughed and temporarily
dropped the subject.

Education Might Be

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln once gave to a
casual acquaintance whom he met on
a railway train the following particu-
lars as to his education:
"Well, as to education, the newspa-
pers are correct. / never went to
school more than six months in my life.

recollections 1 remember how, when
mere child, used to get irritated
when anyone talked to me In a way
could not understand. do not think
ever got angry at anything else in
my life; but that always disturbed
my temper, and has ever since. can
remember going to my little bedroom
after hearing the neighbors talk of
an evening with my father, and spend
ing no small part of the night walk
ing up and down and trying to make
out what was the exact meaning Of
some of their, to me, dark sayings.
could not sleep, although 1 tried to,
when l got on such hunt for an Idea
until had caught it; and when 1
thought had got 1t was not salts
ned until I had put 1t in language
plain enough, as 1 thought, for any
boy l knew to comprehend. This was
a kind of passion with me and has
stuck by me; for am never easy now,
when l am handling a thought, until
l have bounded 1t north and bounded
1t south and bounded 1t east and
bounded it west"
Supplementing these "reminiscences
by few extracts from an article in
the Encyclopedia Britannica, we learn
of Lincoln that "His own mother
taught him to read, and his stepmoth-
er urged him TO study. He read and
reread in early bOyhood the Bible,
Aesop, Robinson Crusoe,' Pilgrims
Progress 'Weem's Life Of Washing
ton, and History of the United
States, and later read every book he
could borrow from the neighbors
Burns and Shakespeare becoming ia
vOrites. He borrowed a grammar and
other books. sought explanations from
the village schoolmaster, and began
to read law. In 1884 his political
friend and colleague, John Todd Stu
art, a lawyer in full practice, had
urged him to fit himself for the bar,
and had lent him text books; and
Lincoln, working diligently, was ad-
mitted to the bar in September, 1896.
His mental qualities were-a quick
analytic perception, strong logical pow
ers, a tenacious memory, a. liberal es-
innate and tolerance OF the opinions
of others, ready intuition of human
nature; and perhaps his most valu-
able faculty was rare ability to d.

A TRIBUTE OF Love
PathOs in Aged Negroes Offering
in LincoIn's Honor.
Humble Flowers Had a Deeper Gig
nifieanee Than the Costly Prod
ucts of the Florists Art

"1'he most touching tribute ever paid
to Lincoln" is the way a newspaper
man described an incident which he
witnessed a few years ago In Wash
ington. The statues of famous Amer
leans stand in the national capitol,
and 1t is the practice of various pa
triotic societies to decorate these stat
ues with flowers each Decoration day.
Among these marble efiigies Of the
dead Is the splendid Gutzon Borgum
bust of the martyred President. The
pathos of a great heart, breaking I'M
der the woes of a nation divided
against ITSELF has been chiseled into
the stone by the inspired sculptor.
On this particular Decoration day
the choicest products of the dollhouse
and the garden had been placed low
ingly on the brows of Washington, of
Lee, of Grant and many others. A
wreath of the richest roses the art Of
the florist could produce lay upon
the brows of the Lincoln bust.
The women whose reverent hands
had put these tributes In place had
gone, when into the great rOtunda Of
the capitol, almost deserted as always
1t is on a holiday, hobbled an old ne
gro, holding by one hand little boy,
grandchild, perhaps. In his arms
the old negro carried a great mass of
the golden-centered daisies which grow
In luxuriant prOfusion in every field
around Washington. To keep the flow
ers fresh dampened cloth was bound
about their stems.
Across the marble floor shuf1ied the
aged negro and his little charge. With
a directness' that showed he had made
the sacred pilgrimage oftentimes be-
fore, the one-time slave led the way to
where the Lincoln bust rested upon
its pedestal. The negro, with eyes
dimmed with age and tears, gazed for
few minutes upon the face Of the
martyred President, his lips moving
as If in silent prayer. Then his
tribute, the tribute of a race set free,
he laid, not on the pedestal with the
costly trophies of the dollhouse, but
humbly In the dust at the pedestals
foot.
